WASHINGTON—Nothing Os much consequence has been dbne In the Senate, insofar as legislation on the floor is concerned, for the past two -weeks, but the modt important com mittees of the Senate bare been busi ly engaged in many matters you’ll be bearing about later on. There has been considerable talk about the so-called tidelands oil mat ter and it appears that this legisla tion will be up for consideration very shortly—probably by the tame this column is published. ' {Differences have developed among some of the States over the form of the legislation as it is presently pro posed. The bill introduced by (Sena tor Holland of 'Florida attempts to deal only with the question of the itideland rights out to the traditional three-19 ile limit. Senators from some other States the Holland bill does not go far enough to take care of the situation. Also, there have been some dif ferences' to develop between some parts of ,th Administration and 1 some of the States. It is impossible for me to predict just what will be the final result. , FERRY IS FOUND Recently I mentioned that w« were trying to assist the State Highway Department in obtaining a surplus Navy landing craft (ILUC) for use as a ferry at Oregon Inlet. At first the situation seemed hopeless. Neither Dr. Henry W. Jordan, chair man of the highway commission nor any of us in the office felt like giv ing up until all chances were gone, last week, the Navy advised us that they had found a ship for us after all. This ferry will make St much easier for visitors along the Outer Banks to learn about the beauties of that sec tion of our State. We were glad to be of assistance to Dr. Jordan and the Highway Department. IKE AND ROWAN We are still hopeful that Presi dent Eisenhower will be able to visit [Rowan County during the week of April 12-18 to join in the bicentennial celebration to be conducted there. Unfortunately, there’s no way of knowing whether the President can be, there until just a few days before the time arrives. •Mr. Thomas E. Stephens, acting Sec retary to the President, has advised me that “the Presidjent is hopeful of fitting it into his schedule.” Bill Kizziah is chairman of the Hos pitality Committee and he appears to be right on the job of making ar rangements for a memorable occasion. Among other items, Saturday, April 18, has been set aside to honor form er Congressman R. L. Doughton, who is beloved and admired by everyone in Washington as well as North Caro lina.

Just how far it Will get during this session of Congress nobody knows. It does appear that President Eisenhower placed a slight damper on the subject recently with his State ment to Senator Case, chairman of the Senate’s District of Columbia Committee. Perhaps the President did not intend it that way, but it had that result. I have introduced a bill to return to the State of (Maryland that part of Washington which originally came from Maryland. If this were done, the residents of the District of Co lumbia would have a vote as citizens of Maryland and they would have a municipal organization under the laws of Maryland, just as does Baltimore. As you recall, an area ten miles square was conveyed to the federal government by Maryland and Vir ginia. In 1847, the part lying south of the Potomac River was given back to Virginia, from whence it came. The people now living in that area, t most of them working in Washington, s seem to be getting along as well as ] any ether folks in America. No prob- c lems have come up regarding citi- j zenship, voting rights and! other prob- jj lems that continually seem to arise in j the District. v c The bill that 1 have introduced r would do exactly the same for the 2 people who live in the areas which - originally were a part of the State of Maryland. This would make it harder for the politicians to have this “burning is sue” at every Congress. The people of Washington would have a chance to become “first class” citizens as they claim they wish to do. The political poppycock about so called “home rule” which is developed each year as a “burning issue,” ac tually is motivated by a desire by some politicians to line up minority groups for various candidates and legislative programs. My bill will give those who eternal ly scream about ‘second-class citi zenship” in the District a chance to put up or shut up. Weekly Devotional Column By James Mackenzie ' No grander name adorns the clut ; tered pages of history than that of William Tyndale, servant of Christ, | apostle of liberty, student of the Word. 1 As a youth, Tyndale gave promise of future greatness by distinguishing ’ himself for his scholarship at Ox [, ford University. There he prepared ' himself for the task Cod had set for him; that of translating the New Testament into English. One day, in 1 debate, his opponent declared, “We had better be without Cod's laws than, the j pope's" (!). Rising in righteous in dignation, Tyndale declared, “I defy the pope, and all his laws. And if * God spare me, I will one day make * the boy that drives the plow to know more of Scripture than the pope does.” To do this, Tyndale retired to Co longe, Germany, but a priest named 1 Coehlaeus, hearing of his plans, order ■ ed the. magistrates to seize his proof THURSDAY MABK7H 26, 1953. . . , , • , . r V^afl^SsuiSMCßl PREMIUMS ANNUALLY, | SEMHUMCAUY OR QWIIHO&Y THAN MONTHLY...

For miles and miles it winds up the side of a mountain; and it has sharp curves, and steep grades that spring out of the curves so a driver can’t get a start. Half-way up, there’s a watering place—put there so drivers can stop and refill their radiators. Yes—it has been quite a hill. But not any more! The driver of the car in the picture above took off at the base and sailed right up to the top—and never gave it a thought. You see, he’s driving a 1953 Cadillac—with its great high compression 210-horsepower engine— and its vastly improved Hydra-Matic Drive. * * * We heard recently of two men who drove from Florida to Detroit—in a 1953 Cadillac. The driver had made this trip before—and as they left Knoxville he said to his passenger: “Man, are we going to find a hill between here and Lexington!” CHAS. H.

I' But those who lack faith in their own views have ever been opposped to freedom of expression on the part of those who differ with them. Eccles iastical authorities in England seized as many Bibles as they could and burned them in a solemn ceremony at the old cross of !St. Paul's, as what Cardinal Campeggio called “a burnt offering most pleasing to Almighty God”. But they couldn’t crush Tyn dale. “In burning the books,” he said, “they do no other thing than I looked for; nor shall they do if they bum me also, if it be God’s will that it be so." An amusing incident occurred when a “brilliant” thought Struck Bishop Tunstall of (London. He commissioned a merchant to purchase Tyndale’s en tire supply of New Testaments. Tyn dale charged him many times their worth. The bishop burned the Testa ments, and Tyndale had enough money to print more of them than ever be fore. ((Romans 8: 28). 1 ; His enemies finally concocted a . scheme to lay their bloody hands on , him. One of them, named Phillips, i wormed his way into Tyndale’s confi -1 dence. Tyndale befriended Phillips 1 confided in him, even lent him money, r How did 'Phillips repay this kindness ? ijfie betrayed Tyndale to his enemies, 1 who seized him, and threw him in the ————— - - - cool, damp dungeons of Vilvorden Castle. On IFriday, October 15, 1536, he was strangled at the stake and then burned to ashes, praying fervently, “(Lord, open the king of England’s eyes.” In his last hours his thoughts •were of his enemies. How like him who, dying on the cross, prayed, “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Times have changed.

The driver was dumbfounded. “I can’t understand it!” he sard. “There used to be a hill there—a big one! I know from experience.” • * * Naturally, this great car gives you more than the ability to master hills. When you float along with a tremendous reserve like this, you have the easiest ride imaginable. It gives you confidence, too —and helps you to relax —for you know you have the power for any emergency that may arise. It makes the whole car a symphony in motion. In fact, the ride is so smooth and soothing that, not infrequently, passengers sleep as they ride. Come in and try it for yourself. The car is waiting —and it’s an experience you ought not to forego. PAGE FIFTEEN King James version is practically Tyn dale’s translation, word for word. But the price of a Bible cannot be measured in terms of one dollar, or two; the real price was paid by men like IWiiliam Tyndale, who gave their 1 lives that we might be able to read God’s holy Word in our own langu ; age. Let us who love the open Bible in the language of the people never cease to praise and thank God for 1 raising up men like William Tyndale, I who sacrificed so much to pass it on ■ down to us
