Page Two THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, ^pfil 26, f068 Washington Report — By — CONGRESSMAN WALTER B. JONES On April 10 -the. U. s. House of Representatives accepted the Senate version of H. R. 2516. This legislation Is In four major parts. The first part deals with the question of riots. Its provisions state that whoever travels inin terstate commerce or uses any facility of interstate or foreign commerce, including, but not limited to, the mall, telegraph, telephone, radio or television, with intent to incite a riot; or to organize, promote, en courage, participate In, or carry on a riot; or to commit any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or to aid or abet any per son in inciting or participating In or carrying on a riot or com mitting any act of violence In furtherance of a riot; and who either during the course of any travel or use or there.a(ter per forms or attempts to perform any other overt act for this pur pose, shall be fined not more than $10,000 or Imprisoned not more than five years, or both. The second part concerns the rights of our Indian citizens. This charged radically existing treaties and agreements by the U, s. Government and the var ious Indian tribes who inhabit Indian reservations. Title Vin of this act is the “open housing" provision. lam sure by this time that the pro visions of this part of the bill have been explained through the news media. The fourth part of the bill deals with civil disorders and contains language as follows: “Whoever teaches or demon strates to any other person the use, application or making of any firearm or explosive or Incendiary device, or techni que capable of causing injury or death to persons, knowing or having reason to know or in tending that the same will be unlawfully employed for use, or in pursurance of civil disorder which may in any way or de gree obstruct, delay, or ad versely affect commerce or the movement of any article or Canady Furniture New A Used Furniture 1201 Quecfi Street OidI 63R 1004 Set Things Straight In This Year '68 By Voting RepubRcon -DEXTER WILLIAMS J.

I think that to say the least, these four sections of the bill will have far-reaching affects, yet, the House in a state of emo tion saw fit to adopt the Senate version of these four important subjects without any considera- tldn by aHouse Committee other than the Rules Committee. Under the legislative mechanics no amendments were permitted in the one hour debate allotted for consideration of this bill. It is difficult to understand how any Member of Congress could vote for such an Important bill covering four subjects each of which are controversial, without further consideration of '' a House Committee. Efforts were made to send the bill to a conferees committee of House and Senate members. This failed by a close vote of 229 to 195. Then in an atmosphere of ur gency and emotion, a final vote was taken. The Senate spent 40 days debating and discussing the same legislation; yet, the House passed it within an hour. So goes the legislative wheels. All Members of the North Carolina delegation voted no in protest of the pressure methods being used. TRU-TREAD TIRE CO.
