WASHINGTON REPORT
by
CONGRESSMAN
TME STATES AND
rovncrr
Although both House
and Senate have passed legis
lation extending and ezpand
ig the an ti-poverty program,
arguments about it continue
in Congress. These dingrn
ments reflect pe» latent pub
lic concern about the lack
of coordination and control
over the program and those
instances where politics and
political rewards appear to
be getting more attention than
the evils of poverty.
The anti-poverty legislation
was considered by the House
«several weeks ago. At that
% tip* it seemed to me that
the program was (hren a vote
at confidence that it had not
earned and did not deserve.
Little or no effort was made
to tighten up those parts of
it that had been shown to
be w«k and many observers
here md elsewhere felt then
that than would be little or
no chance to make even the
minimum changes that the
program required.
> Certainly one of the strong
eat arguments when the
House considered the bill took
place on the question of the
powers of the States to have
a hand in the direction ot the
program. It was my opinion
that any Federal activity of
this kind should not be in
the position of developing pro
grams in communities with
out the closest kind of coordi
nation with State prof rams
being planned or already in
operation.
The Federal government
cannot fully evaluate local
conditions in each State and
it dppa nat seem>wiee to give
Washington the ptrfrer to en*
force policies in the poverty
program over the veto ot" a
Stale governor. The import
ance of the governor's veto is
not the fact that he vetoes
programs. The real importance
lies in the power that the
veto places in the hands
of the highest executive offic
er in each State. With this
authority goes responsibility
to- the governors to coordi
nate anti poverty efforts and
to assure that waste, dupli
cation. and abuses are stop
ped before they have a
chance to develop.
In the House, the govern
ors were given a right to
veto projects even though the
Director of the poverty prog
ram was also granted author
ity to override the governor's
veto. I felt that this was a
weak and watered-cown pro
vision at the time. However,
even this turned out to be
better than the version of
the bill passed by t ie Senate.
The Senate bill would have
required only that if a gov
ernor disagreed with a com
munity-action program in his
State, he would go to Wash
ington for an informal and
closed meeting with the Di
rector of the anti-poverty pro
gram. For all practical pur
poses, this wau-rt eliminate
meaningful State supervision
and coordination.
When the Hcure and Sen
ate conferees met to develop
v a final bill, the House mem
bers caved in and agreed to
the Senate version on this
part of the legislation. Last
week, the conferees brought
the bill back to the House
and a strong debate began.
The question was should
the House agree to a bill
which blanks out the author
ity of the governors in what
' the poverty program dees or
does not do in their States?
J Thirty-seven governors of
both political parties have al
ready expressed themselves
vigorously on this question. I
believe they aee clearly that
the program is headed for ev
en more trouble than it has
already unless there is ef
fective supervision and parti
cipation at the State level.
Governor Moore of our own
State is among these 37.
On the final vote, the
House answered the ques
tion. By a margin of 209 to
180, it rejected the Senate (
version and sent its conferees
back to the conference table |
with instructions that the ■
House would demand the ve
*to power for governors be ]
restored in the final bill This
is a victory, and a needed ]
one, even though it is only ]
one step in a« process where
many nova need to be taken 1
V'- (
In amnewhat contradictory
action, the House a short
time ago vcted SIOO,OOO for
the Education and Labor Com
mittee to investigate the
troubles of the poverty pro
gram. Shortly after, it became
known that the Post Office
Department gave out thous
ands of jobs to "needy" stud
ents last summer. The needy
students have turned out to
be, at least, in some notable
cases, the children of Mem
bers of Congress and of peo
ple prominent in politics.
There has been a veil of se
crecy thrown over this whole
operation and our efforts to
obtain a full accounting was
rejected by a narrow vote
in the House last week.
It is this kind of thing
that brings such discredit on
the anti-poverty effort and
the related activities in other
Departments. The best medi
cine for it is public disclos
ure and public judgment.

Log Rolling, No-
House Moving
Back in the old days we
used to hear of log rollings
When a man lost his heme
his neighbors came to his res
cue by pitching in and build
ing him a new house. We
bear everyday that people are
not what they used to be as
for as being neighborly.
We have a man near Cool
eemee who recently lost his
wife leaving him with 5 chil
dren and during all this bad
luck his heme was complete
ly destroyed by fire. One
of this man's neighbors who
had completed himself a new
home and had moved into
it gave his neighbor, who had
encountered so much bad
luck, the ckl but good 5
room house that was vacant
By putting three power poles
under this house ard fasten
ing two more poles on each
end it was pulled nearly H
mile to where the mans house
was ta be replaced. Another
good neighbor let them cross
his land with the house
pulled by a bulldozer.
The R. E. A. also was ve
ry helpful because they mov
ed a power pete out of the
way 'so CRe'house coukf t*
moved by and then put the
p:ie back up in the same
place.
The man is now living in
the house with his 5 child
ren. One of the small child
ren said to the man who gave
them the house, "God bless
you, mister, for giving us a
home."
While the man, who was
very helpful to this family,
did not want to mention hi:
name but before we left he
said "Well 1 have to go over
to a neighbors house and help
him put up a stove, which he
had given him also, along with
the house, because he said ii
won't be too many more days
before cold weather will set
in.

PROMOTION
In the burial service in some churches will be
found the words: "We brought nothing into this world,
and it is certain we can carry nothing out *
We were thinking of the recent passing of Mr.
Ben Jordan and something that his pastor said at the
funeral service. "Ben", he said, "has had a promotion."
Having known Ben and the kind of man he was, we
agree.
What the scriptural passage means is that no ma
terial things can be taken with us. All those things are
left behind, and we are in a bad way if our life here was
devoted entirely to getting wealth, of merely having
pleasure. As we reflected upon Bat's life we came to
the conclusion that he carried much into the afterlife—
he carried himself, his character and the satisfaction
of having served his day and generation. Of course. Ben
did not build and endow a Church or College building;
he was no great army general, and led no troops to
victory. But he did carry within himaelf those qualities
of mind and heart, spelled out in simple services in
modest ways which are spiritual in character, and
which are the only riches recognised in the life beyond
the grave. Ben spelled out his philosophy of life in
laboring to give his family the best that he could af
ford; to give an example and in teachings, those ideals
and principles which are the only coins accepted in the
moral and spiritual areas of life here and hereafter.
He was faithful in his church life, always in attendance,
welcoming others who came, and supporting it in every
way possible to him. Ben was a friendly man. whose
friendly spirit was contagious, and he- lifted others, by
his gracious friendliness, into his own world of hap
pimss.
So, we believe that Ben Jordan carried much into
the world into which he is now entered, and we can
well believe that he heard a voice, saying, ''Well done,
thou good and faithful servant; enter thou into the joy
of thy Lord."

Davie Row Has
4 Straight Win
The Davie Hi Rebels met a
badly outclassed Monroe team
and raced to their fourth vic
tory of the season. This vic
tory keeps Davie sitting atop
the North Piedmont Confer
ence standings. The Rebels
wasted little time in getting
down to the business at hand as
they kicked off to Monroe
and held them for three downs
On the fourth down Monroe
kicked and David Robertson,
hard charging fullback, fak
ed a hand-off and boot-leg
ged the ball on his hip for
Championship qualities in a
very short time by sending
Robertson over for the sec
seventy yards for Davie's first
of many touchdowns of the
njght. The Rebels proved tHr
second score and Davie led IS
-0.
In the second quarter Ran
dall Ward broke over right
tackle and raced seventy-five
yards for the third score. Earl
Shoaf proved that he had oth
er talents than calling plays
when he proceeded to kick
his first of four extra points.
Also in the second quarter
Km* Shoaf ((Med a thirty
yard pass to Half back Don
ald Beck for the fourth Da
vie TD and a 27-0 half time
score. In the second half Da
vie tock up w-iere they left
off and on a pitch out Gar
land Allen ran for the fifth
touchdown. Lester Beauchamp
made the final score. Coach
Ward substituted freely
and all his team played
during the night. Again the
unsung heroes were the line
men who refused to be moved
and they repelled charge after
charge cf the Monroe backs.
Davie has an outstanding line
and in the three previous vic
tories they have been the
outstanding factor in vic
tory. Time after time they
have held inside their own ten
yard line and then turned
the ball over to the offense
and the bevy of hard run
ning and speedy back to
take the ball to paydirt. Da
vie played this game with
out two of their starting line
up. Nayrex Earnhardt broke
his arm in the Mooresville
game and will be out for
the rest of the season. Ronnie
Spry hurt his knee and his
status is in doubt. Friday
night is home ctming and
we will take on West Row
an Falcons. This is the game
that we look forward to each
year and we are hoping to
extend our win streak and
stay atop the conference san
