CONGRESSMAN WALTER B. JONES
Last week, the Congress re
cessed on Wednesday night .July
3, for a long weekend In cele
bration of the July Fourth holi
day. In the half week’s work,
several important bills were
considered and passed.
Among those were the Na
tional School Lunch Act, which
increased the appropriations to
provide more free lunches for
those who are unable to pay.
The bill which has attracted
much attenUon nationally, in
cluding that of Drew Pearson,
was the NaUonal Gas Pipeline
Safety Act.
This bill will authorize the
Secretary of the Department
of Transportation to set cer
tain standards regarding the
Installation and maintenance of
these pipelines, which extend
throu^^out the United States.
This act came as a result of
several tragic pxplosions which
have cost many lives and heavy
property damage at all too fre
quent Intervals. I voted for this
bill on final passage.
Whatever else may be said
about this 90th‘Congress, it has
shown a general disposition to
enact safeguards for tte general
public. I recall the TruUi-
in-Lending Bill, and the Meat
and Poultry Inspection Act, as
well as the Pipeline Safety Act.

Never transfer gasoline from
one container to another in

the open. Never refuel an
engine while it is running.
Use only "approved” metal
containers, painted red and

interest was the authorlzaUon
for the Federal-Aid Highway
Act of 1968. This basically
approves an additional three
thousand miles to complete
work which was approved under
the original Highway Act of 1956.
An interesting note in con
nection with this bill was a
motion to delete the funds for
highway beautification. It was
felt that with the economic state
of the nation at this time, this
could await better times. I
voted for the amendment to de
lete this part of the bill, and
the amendment passed by a
vote of 211 to 145.
The Federal Trade Commis
sion has again entered the con
troversy concerning cigarettes
and has suggested that Congress
pass legislation which would
prohibit the advertising of ciga
rettes on television and radio.
In response to this, 1 sent
a telegram to Mr. Paul Rand
Dixon, Chairman of the Federal
Trade Commission, which fol
lows: “Respectfully request
reconsideration of your Com
mission’s recommendation of
Congressional action to ban cig
arette advert! sing on tele vi sion.
I do not believe that medical
science is unanimous in your
conclusion. I submit It is un
fair to single out the tobacco
Industry so long as over 50
thousand people per year are
killed in automobile accidents
and in all probability, hundreds
of thousands either die or suffer
complete failure of health as the
result of excessive alcoholic
beverages, yet no punitive
action has been taken in this
area.
So long as I have the honor
of representing the First Dis
trict, I shall cot^nue to vigor
ously oppose the unfair dis
crimination that is attempting
to be imposed on the tobacco
industry.
