I voted against cise taxes and corporate income this amendment because it violated tales at their present rates for an one of my basic convictions respect, adpitional year.

This' amendment was the Senate on last Tuesday. As a fated by a vote of 61, to 32. member of the Senate, I voted on : two1 proposed amendments. (': ,; " y Basic Convictions Mj constituents are entitled to know how I voted on these amend-1 mentsj and the basic convictions j which prompted me to vote as l 'did;; .. I entertain two basic convictions in respect to taxation, which werel applicable - to these amendments, ' summarized in this way: i. The .Federal Government mortgages our future and that of jur children when it operates in the ''red', It should make an honest effort to balance its budget by pay ing current expenses out of cur rent revenues; ' Believing this as I do, .1 cannot vote . for a measure which I know will substantially im pair the ' capacity of the Federal Government to meet its current ob ' ligations out of current revenues. ' 2, 'As Jong as the requirements oi national' defense and other ines capable dbligations of the Federal Government-make their present heavy demands upon our economy, minutes after.

Peanut Acreage For 1955 UTnchanged f Prospective 1965 plantings of peamfts alone for all purposes is indicated at 180,000 acres accord ling'' to the North Carolina" Crop I Reporting Service. Such a crop I would be the same as was plant ed in 1954 but 92,000 acres below the 10-year (1944-53) average acre- I aire of 272,000 acres. These inten. Itions include peanuts for picking ing the campaign. for othw purposes, 7' For the U.' S.," reports indicate that there' will be 1,914,000 acres of peanuts for all purposes plant ed in 1955. This will be 1 per cent below the acreage planted in 1954. The first estimate of the 1955 acre age of peanuts for picking and threshing will be made in August. TB Seal Chairman Gives Drive Report r 'Jarvis Ward, Chairmtp of the TB .geal Sale in Perquimans, has rt leased a final report on the local campaign. He'revealed the county raised $1,482.50 in the drive, which was $182.50 over the quota. He expressed his appreciation to the public for its fine response to the appeal for funds and to each indi vidual who had a part in conduct- NEWS ITEM: Atlantic, Iowa -Max Eastman, 29, died after an accident in which his sports car clipped another car and smashed into a bridge. ATOIV-ACE PLUMBER Technician at the Hanford Atomic Products Operation, Richland, Wash., carries a meter instead of a monkey wrench when searching for leaks in "hot" plumbing. The GE-de- I veloped device employs a sodi um iodide crystal, light output of which under atomic radiation is measured on a light-type meter at end of barrel. - Three years ago, Eastman, a Des Moines ad writer; wrote a highway safety article "Ten Sec onds to Live." Oddly, it told how Eastman himself was killed. ( - This was Eastman's article: "He pushed his sleeve back, held his wrist close to the lighted speedometer, squinted to read the tirrie.

Tax Amendment ...The first' amendment on which I Voted Was that of Senator Lyndon Johnson, the Democratic leader of the' Senate, "and Senators Kerr, ! Frear,' Long, Smathers and Bark ley ifrhicti undertook to give every ordinary taxpayer a $2Q.00 credit, plua. $10.00 for each dependent ex : cept ' ft ; wife ' I voted for this amendment because' it satisfied bo'fh"cf " the basic convictions re specting taxation which I deemed applicfitld' "W . the problem under consideration. vIt was. designed to extend to "all ordinary taxpayers exactly the same benefits ' regard lses of the sources of their incomes. Moreover, it? could not; have con tributed to the" unbalancing of the budget or impaired in any degree the capacity of the Federal Gov ernment --3e ;' pay its current ex penses ; oU? f jcurrent revenues. Ttiiii is true because, it repealed the dividend'c'redifi dividend 'exclusion, and the . accelerated depreciation provisions of" the fnteriial Revenue Code of 1954,' and in that way pro vided revenues more than 'sufficient to offset the sum total of all the credits granted by it. ' ' '.. ' ,: Close Vote ": Those of us who favored this first amendment were defeated in tli SeriabB by the narrow' margin of 6 votes. .
