Reappraisal Of Foreign Aid Advocated By Sen. Ervin SENATOR SAM ERVIN WASHINGTON ? I have pre pared this series v.1 weekly reports to you before going to Chicago for the Demcoratic National Conven tion. It is not my purpose to use these reports to discuss partisan political matters, so I am pur pcsely confining the reports to Congressional activity. CONGRESS: A CONTINUATION Continuing my report of last week on the work of the 84th Con gress, 1 want to discuss this week its activity in the international field. The Reciprocal Trade Agree ments program was extended. Many ol us tried to write into these agreements amendments to halt the excessive importation of Japa- 1 nese textile goods which has de pressed many segments of our do mestic textile industry. My views ljave been stated numerous times on this. 1 believe this to he a continuing fight and certainly there must be no let-down in this eilort. YUGOSLAVIA OUT The Congress extended the for eign aid program without further ! military aid to Yugoslavia, Funds ! wefe slashed by Congress below the President's request. 1 did not support the aid extension, believing that the day has arrived when we must reappraise foreign : aid. Its present form strikes me as being a close relative of a per- , mabcnt program. It is a concoc tion of make-shift arrangements, lasting imagination and fed by mWc and more dollars. The for eign aid program is sick Congress realizes this: the world knows it. OTHER MATTERS In the field of international mat ters, Congress refused to vote orn the President's request to have the United States join the Organiza tion for Trade Cooperation to ad minister general trade and tariff agreements. The Congress again stated its ! opposition to tiie admission of Red 1 < China to the United Nations. The Senate passed, hut the House did not take up, the con troversial lilieralization of our Im migration laws. I am glad the Ilotixe took this course. The international wheat agree mcnt was ratified by (he Senate. Of course, there were other ac tions dealing with international matters Included was the import ant resolution giving the Presi dent power to use American arm ed forces against the Chinese Com munists if they attacked Formosa or the Pescadores, That action was taken in the first session. In the closing hours of the sec ond session the Congress passed a modified and watered-down ver sion of a customs simplifications bin. Congress has a continuing in terest In international matters It power is exercised through ap propriations PVT. HARLEy I>.

Bar Association) WITNESSES TO WILLS Who is ? "testator"? The person making a will is re ferred to as the "testator", in the case of females, the expression "testatrix" is often used How many witnesses are re quired to sign an attested written ; will in North Carolina? Iwo Lawyers frequently insist upon three, because there are a numlH-r of slates that require this number of witnesses and the law >eis want their clients to Icavi wills tint will he valid in ah slates Must the attesting witnesses read the will or know its contents' i No. | Must the testator sign his name , m the presence of the attesting witnesses? No. In North Carolina it is not I necessary that the testator sign his jWill in the presence of the attest ing witnesses, but if he does not do so. he must acknowledge to ! them tils signature previously af fixed thereto In certain instances the acknowledgment has been held sufficient by acts or conduct on I tiie part of the testator, but an | express statement by the testator i to the witnesses that he has signed | is the safest method 1 here must be a signature to at j test before there can be an attesta tion. In other words, the attest ing witnesses sign after the testa tor has signed. Must (he attesting witnesses sign in the presence of each other? No The attesting witnesses must I sign the will in the presence of the testator, but they need not | sign in the presence of each other. j May the testator get someone J else to sign his name? Yes. The testator's name may be j signed by the testator himself, or. | by someone else in the testator's : presence and al his direction. May .1 beneficiary in an at , tested written will be an attesting j witness to the will? The simplest and best advice I to a testator is that he should get | someone other than a beneficiary, or the spouse of a beneficiary to witness the will. A beneficiary, or | the spouse of a beneficiary, is what I I he law calls an "interested wit fU'll"; i A beneficiary or his spouse may : be a competent witness to a will; | but. if there are not at least two , other witnesses to the will who are disinterested, the interested wit ness and his spouse and anyone claiming under him take nothing under the will. The will is void : only so far as their interests are concerned Therefore, no benefici ary or his spouse should be re quested to sign as an attesting wit ness.

State Hea'th - Officer J. W R. Norton is aqAinst ^ making polio vaccinations compul sory He said, "I prefer a volunteer system if it will work." Earlier this week. Dr. H. W i Stevens, head of the Buncombe i County Health Department, said he would recommend that the next session of the Legislature be ask ed to pass laws requiring all chil- ] dren to have Salk vaccine shots. Dr. Norton said he doesn't think requests for a compulsory law | should be made until 1959 so the State Health Board's voluntary plan could have a "reasonable trial."
