Washington Report
By Congressman Walter Jones
Micou Browne Elected Chairman
Of Water Bond Committee
.The two most important
actions of the House of
Representatives last week were
consideration of increasing the
legal ceiling on the national
debt and legislation designed to
end the West Coast dock strike.
The debt ceiling question is
one which in recent years has
been before the Congress on
several occasions. It is an
tiquated, and in my opinion,
serves no useful purpose. The
only value is the expression of
those of us who vote no, which
indicates a protest against the
massive spending of this and
past administrations. Prior to
the Congressional action the
legal debt ceiling was $400
billion, with an emergency
increase of $30 billion through
June 1972. The President asked
Congress to approve an ad
ditional increase of $50 billion
for the next fiscal year, but the
action taken by the House ap
proved an increase in the
amount of $20 billion, or a grand
total of $450 billion. On final
passage along with
Congressmen Henderson,
Fountain, Mizell, Ruth and
Taylor and Lennon, I voted no;
while Congressmen Jonas,
Broyhill and Preyer voted yes,
with Congressman Galifianakis
being absent.
; Many of you have contacted
this office urging action
to end the" West Coast dock
strike. On Wednesday, the
House took such action by
passing ah identical bill to that
of the Senate which, in effect,
forces compulsary arbitration.
The most spirited debate was
the criticism of the Rules
Committee for bypassing the
House Committee on Education
and Labor which had similar
legislation under consideration
for several weeks, but refused
to take action until the Senate
had passed legislation to end the
strike. The bypassing occurred
when the Rules Committee
rejected the House Committee
bill and brought to the Floor the
Senate bill.
Many of us are becoming
more convinced that some way
must be found to protect the
rights of labor, but yet in a
Louisburg College
Announces Aid
Programs
: Louisburg College recently
announced increasing efforts to
provide financial assistance to
students who lack the necessary
funds to continue their
education. Area seniors are
reminded of the various
scholarships, loans, and work
study programs available to
those who apply early and
demonstrate need.
Expanding work op
portunities will enable many
new applicants to earn part of
their educational expenses off
campus or through on-campus
work opportunities. Available
loan monies will also make it
possible for a record number of
students to provide self-help
through long-term low interest
loans. Scholarship and grant
monies will continue to be
available to the students who
meet varying eligibility criteria
as indicated in the current issue
of the college catalogue.
Louisburg College Financial
Aid Director, Joseph Capell,
said that a written request, a
telephone call, or a visit to
either the Admissions Office or
Financial Aid Office can
provide a student with detailed
information '
manner which will not injure
the entire economy such as
occurred during this current
strike which has lasted more
than seven months at an
estimated cost the economy of
approximately $1 billion. It was
estimated thatmillionsof dollars
of agricultural products were
move exports during the period
of the strike.
Also of interest to the First
District was the action of the
House Committee on
Agriculture in approving a bill
known as the Rural Develop
ment Act of 1972. This bill will
provide grants and loans to
extend assistance to "public
bodies, small businesses,
farmers and ranchers. It will be
applicable to communities or
towns with a population under
5,500. This Federal assistance
will be available among other
things, for pollution abatement
and control projects. It is hoped
that the urban Congressmen
will support this legislation on
the House Floor to provide our
rural citizens with somewhat
the same assistance which is
being provided so generously to
the urban areas.
Riots Down
A study conducted at
Brandeis University finds
that summer racial disorders
have lessened considerably
since President Nixon took
office. From a high of 167
major riots in the summer of
1967, riots have declined
to 46 in number by 1971.
A complete report on the
decline appears in the Feb
ruary issue of Justice Maga
zine, a police oriented
monthly published in the
national capital. The authors
do not seek to give causes
for the improvement, though
they point to improved means
of minority expression and
improved police practices.
The good news for all
Americans is that this type
of mass violence in the
streets has drastically de
clined. Had it continued to
increase for the past four
years, the functioning of
American society would
have been in serious jeopardy.
