THE yERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1956. PAGE TERES SAtfllMN fSAYSl'm .'' Washington, While attending the Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner in Raleigh, I got word that I had been named to a special subcom mittee of the Senate Armed Ser vices Committee to make an in quiry into our air defense. ... 'f. Serious Matter :i l). My reaction to this is that it is the most serious responsibility that has ever been assigned to me. We all know that our survival as a free nation depends in the first in stance on adequate defense. The inquiry that we will make comes as a consequent of grave doubts by many people in high places of re sponsibility that our air defense, in .planes and missiles and other last minutes weapons of intercontinen tal defense, has failed to keep pace with the requirements for safety in this troubled era. Some feel the TAYLOR THEATRE EDENTON. N. C. Saturday Continuous J rom 1:30 - Sunday, 2:15. 4:15 and 8:45 Thursday and Friday, ' . March 8-9 j! Jeff Richards and .

' Study Needed With these conditions prevailing, Senator Russell, Chairman of the Armed Services Committee, felt it wise to probe our air defense fully. Senator Symington, former Secre tary of the Air Force, is the chair man of the subcommittee. Other members are Senators Jackson and myself, Democrats, and Senators Salstpnstall and Duff, Republicans. I have been busy virtually every day attending briefings of the Armed Services Committee by top Pentagon officials. Their reports lead me to believe that this study is urgent. The Farm Bill Debate on the farm bill has been lengthy. Agriculture touches our nation in many respects as a reg ional problem. In North Carolina, we think of our tobacco, cotton, peanuts and corn as the chief row crops; Kansas thinks of wheat; Iowa, corn, etc. These regional in terests, all legitimate and requir ing attention as they fit into the national picture, necessitate care ful study and debate. We will be gin voting 6it amendments leading to final passage of the bill by the' time you read this. As some indi-; cation of the scope of the farm.bill,' there are ai this writing some 5Cj or more amendments printed and awaiting action by the Senate! Voting on this bill will' cut across political lines, and it will be in-; torcsting to follow the voting; which many feel will be close. ; School Lunch Program ' I Last week I asked the Depart ment of Agricultbre to consider buying surplus North Carolina! sweet potatpes in its purchase ar rangement for the school lunch piw gram. Before I sat down to" pre pare this article, the Fruit and Vegetable Division of the Departr! ment of Agriculture "called to 'say that North Carolina ASC offices in the sweet potato areas will be no-1 tified right away of their plan to purchase sweet potatoes in these areas of North Carolina. The school lunch program is one of the i most successful and practical appli cations of logic. '.
