Washington Report
— By —
CONGRESSMAN WALTER B. JONES
The anti-war demonstrators
continued their Washington
attack during the entire week. I
am sure an overwhelming
majority of citizens feel that we
should vacate our Vietnam
position just as soon as possible
but I question the value of the
current demonstrations
especially as it relates to the
conduct of many of those
participating.
Due to the splendid efforts of
the Washington police many of
whom have worked 16-18 hours
per day for a period of two
weeks, I am delighted to say

that apparently “law and or

Thursday, May 6, I had the
honor of presiding as Chairman
of the Subcommittee on
Oilseeds and Rice of the House
Agriculture Committee. This
concerned legislation which
would prohibit the transfer of
new peanut allotments by the
Department of Agriculture
from one state to another.
Mild opposition was ex
pressed by the United States
Department of Agriculture;
however, in view of the over
whelming support, the Sub
committee unanimously gave
the bill a favorable report to be
considered by the full Com
mittee at a later date.
The major legislation con
sidered by the House was a bill
to increase the outstanding loan
ceding of the* Small Business
Administration. It would in
crease from $2.2 billion to $3.1
billion the amount of total loans,
guarantees, obligations, or
commitments which may be
outstanding at any one time
from the Business and In
vestment Fund of the Small
Business Administration.
Hopefully this will permit SBA
to approve several loans which
are now pending.
Another bUl considered of
interest as it relates to the work
of the new Postal Corporation
was the adding of the service of
accepting applications for
passports.
I voted no on this measure, for
I am convinced that with the
increased postal volume the
system as well as the employees
have as much or more to do
than they can possibly do, and
to add an additional burden
mi^t further adversely affect
mail service.
There is a growing suspicion
in the Congress that the
creation of the new postal
system might prove to ^ a

CHARLES H. KIMBRELL
Candidate for Mayor
Since no candidate for Mayor received a
majority in New Bern’s May 4th election, a run
off has been set for Tuesday, May 18th by the
Board' of Elections.
As one of the two candidates for Mayor,
I believe New Bern’s registered voters are cap
able of making a wise decision in filling this
office.
The outcome of the May 4th election was
influenced to a great degree by persons other
than citizens of New Bern. I AM NOT RE
FERRING TO A LARGE NUMBER OF CITI7ENS
WHO BELONG TO A LABOR ORGANIZATION
AND DO RESIDE WITHIN THE CITY.
Rather, I am talking about a vigorous and
concerted telephone campaign conducted from
outside the city in behalf of one of the candi
dates for Mayor, which had the blessing of
some City Hall factions.
It is entirely possible that you may re
ceive a friendly and polite call from someone
working in my behalf, but you can rest as-
sured the caller will give you his or her name,
NEw'bER^ a REGISTERED RESIDENT OF
When elected it will be my policy to repre
sent all citizens equally and fairly, without yield-
ing to pressure by outside groups who are not
privileged to vote in this or any other c*ty elec
tion, and are presumptuous in telling you how
to vote.
1^ flrateful for the strong suoport given
me in the May 4th election, and will aoprec>ate
your continued support at the polls on May 18th.
Sincerely,
CHARLES. H. KIMBRELL
