THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1953 THE NEWS-JOURNAL PAGE THREE a ; 5) WASHINGTON The past few clays have been particularly busy ones for me. The Senate has been in session until eleven o'clock each evening. I have had at least two committee meetings daily, each lasting for an hour or more. There was a hurried trip ) to New York to participate in a radio broadcast devoted to a dis cussion on our Immigration Law. But topping it off was the con vention here of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It was wonderful to see so many of our own gracious ladies from North Carolina. Mrs. Smith and I invit ed the North Carolina group to a get-to-gether in the Capitol last Thursday, and that night I had the priviledge of addressing the convention at Constitution Hall. I have always been impressed by the loyalty and patriotism of these women. This year there is added reason for respecting their judgment. The ladies elected Miss Gertrude Carraway of New Bern as president general. Miss Carra way has devoted 23 years of hard work to the DAR and it was a tribute to her that she was unop posed for the organization's high est office. t; t - :1 r J k-" Ah , . , '-'!' '- . ' '!.

We will appreciate your patronage debate. Now that the : hoe is on the oth er foot, these u'tra-liberal forces claim that they are not filibust ering. They say that they are "educating the public." It is doubtful that they are accomp lishing much other than a test of their ability at oratory. We had a number of school groups to visit the office during the week. Seniors from Salisbury, Whiteville and Aycock came to see me in the reception room just off the Senate floor at about the same time one afternoon last week. While they were there, a photographer for the New York Times spotted the large group and decided to make a picture of them for his newspaper. So North Carolina's young folks may get some unexpected publicity. It's impossible to see every one who comes to the office, so I just have to do the best I can. Almost everyone understands, however, that Senators have to be out of their offices most of the time attending committee meetings and Senate sessions. For instance, last week I was engaged in two sets of hearings for the Judiciary Committee. Part of the time I was presiding committee sessions, i unless visitors got to j before 9:30 a. m., or came after dark, there was not much chance of my seeing them. But, Mr. Helms, Mr. Slear and the young ladies in the office are always ready and anxious to ren der any service they possibly can. Most of the matters in which visitors are interested can be handled by someone in the office, as we try to have some one familiar with the various de partments of the government who can render service on short notice. TWO PROBLEMS We are now working on two matters of considerable interest to our State. One concerns the proposed expansion of Fort Bragg. The other concerns the Blue Ridge Parkway. The people of Hoke County have been greatly disturbed by the Army's announced plans to take over 50,000 acres of their land to establish a corridor be tween Fort Bragg and Camp Mc Call. It is agreed by everybody that such a move would destroy Hoke County as a unit of govern ment. In addition, the State's tuberculosis sanitorium at Mc- When animals refuse to eat heartily of an apparently desir able forage crop, the reason may be that the plants contain too much tannin (bitter substance related to the compounds used in tanning leather). This theory, which has been .su?;gestetl by a number of forage experts in the past but never proved, appears to have been confirmed by an experiment carried out at the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Research Center in Bellsville, Md. The importance of this finding;, the scientists say, lies in the fact that once tannin is definitely identified as the cause for poor taste value, more palatable lines of otherwise valuable forage crops can be developed by plant breed ers. Sericea lespedeza, a perennial le gume adapted to a wide variety of soil conditions here in the South, is an cxemplo. This plant is frequently rejected as a for ;tge crop by farmers in areas where it will grow will, because their Krain'l animals do not appear to like it. The scientists at IJcltsville fed equal amounts of three types of sericea lespedeza containing dif ferent percnt.u'.f s of tannin to two mature sheep over a period of six days. Kaeh of the three kind:, of sericea was served "cat t : -t i .-i style" in a separate feed Lin. Location of the feed in the j bins w.i.s rotated each day in or- I Her t:i-:'. the sheep would not go 'ii the most palatable forage through ImUit. All other food was withheld, and careful records were kept of the amounts of each type of sericea consumed daily, h'ejeeied forage was collected, ' weighed, and analized for tannin content and other properties. The preliminary results ob tained seem to verify the belief that tannin definitely affects )a latability. All the sericea with tkfr II f r vv BUY UNITED 8TATES SAVINGS BONDS AND STAMPS tution. The booming of the big guns near the hospital would not, they say, be conducive to the rapid re covery of tubercular patients. Since it would cost about $15 mil lion to replace the hospital, Gov ernor Umstead and the State Legislature feel that the govern ment ought to make some pro vision for moving the hospital to some other section of the State. I have requested that our peo ple be given an opportunity to appear before the Senate Armed Services Committee to state our case before this plan is approved. I have been assured by the com mittee that such a hearing will be conducted. Also we probably will appear before the Senate Military Appropriations sub committee. As for the Blue Ridge Parkway, Senator Hoey and I are working to ha,ve an appropriation provid ed for completing this project. No money whatsoever for new construction on the parkway was included in the budget recom mendations. The parkway will bring thou sands of tourists and millions ol dollars into our State each year. Since the government has spent so much already on the parway, III 11:1 the lowest tannin content wa onsumcd, while 72 per cent of the hich-iaiiiiin type was reject ed.
