WA'SHINGTIN I (have •wondered for a long time why it is necessary for all of our so-called secret weap ons to be demonstnated openly and without any restrictions. ! All of us, I know, are interested in what our country is doing in the way of building new—and in some in stances, fantastic—weapons for our defense. It is natural for us to be in terested. But it has seemed to me that we have been inclined to brag about our new weapons rather than keep them, under cover for use at the proper time—to the oonsematdon of the enemy. Sometime ago, several “junkets” were planned and announced, one of them in New Mexico. I was invited to go along (at government expense) to view the demonstration of a new weapon. 1 promply declined the invi tation. Not being a member of the Armed Services Committee, I could not see how I could justify my taking such a trip at government expense, since my going along would serve no . particular purpose. I could not help being gratified when, shortly afterwards, 'Secretary of Defense Wilson reached what I regarded as a wise decision and ban-, ned such junkets in the future. There are cases, of course, where certain members of 'Congress ought to be taken to such demonstrations be cause of their connections with the ■military. For example, we have one man in our delegation whom all of us honor, Representative Carl 'Durham of Chapel Hill, who has been acting chairman of the Atomic Energy Com mittee and who powers, with other powers reserved | to the individual states or .the peo ple. North Carolina was next ito the last state to ratify the Federal Con stitution, refusing to do so until the B'iTl of Rights has been attached. We have always been proud of our fore fathers for their foresight and determ ination. They knew the history of the gov ernments of Europe; they knew that without the Bill of Rights there was likely to be great abuse of ithe people by the governing authorities. And they understood —perhaps better than does out present generation—that our concept of government in America is entirely different from that in most foreign countries. The notion per sists in foreign countries that privi leges come down to the people from the government. Our concept is that the powers belong to the people and that the government’s powers are de rived from the consent of ’ the peo ple. It is difficult to have some of our foreign friends to understand this dif ference in concept. The present proposed resolutions would meet some of the issues raised | as a result of the creation of the United Nations. Many zealots forget that the main purpose of the 'United Nations was to preserve .peace and or der in the world. Instead, these zeal ots center theiir attention on all sorts of reform measures in the name of the United Nations. Such people attempt he, secure .these reforms by Way of the adoption of a treaty or by executive agreement— without both “he House and the Sen ate approving, as provided by bhe Constitution. Executive agreements are, as you know, made by the (Presi dent—often without the knotWledge of Congress or the people. These resolutions attempt to fore stall any treaty or executive agree ment that would affect the domestic lives of the. people of Ithe United States—unless such treaty or exedu -and passed by both Houses of Con gress. These lesoJuttaons will, in my opinion, safeguard the rights of the people and prevent. overly-enthusiaa, tic persons from patting' into effect lew which ought not to be (or ( could not be) law at all under our trVwiiiHSilivm ■ There is widespread misunderstand ing of these resolutions because of ***- p a^' for the amendments now proposed. For example, we had before us re cently, Dr. George E. Finch, professor of International Law at 'Georgetown University, who has had a long and great career as an international 'law yer. He was one pf 'President Wood row Wilson’s advisors and his discus sion of the proposals constituted -the finest presentation of international law that I believe I have ever heard. There are many who believe in the omnipotence of the Federal Govern ment who are opposing these propos als, but to those who. Study carefully, and who are not in favor of the idea of complete supremacy of the Federal Government, a need is felt for such an enactment if the individual freedom and rights of our citizens are bo be protected effectively. We seem to meet at every turn il lustrations of the attempted infiltra tion of foreign “isms” into the every day lives of the American people. We muSt be eager 'So adopt the good but more eager to reject the bad. I also believe we should endeavor to make the 'United Nations what it is supposed to be—an organization whose objective is the preservation of peace in the world. The United Na tions has spent too much of its time indulging in matters that may be im portant to particular groups, but which are, nevertheless, of a more or less trivial nature in thie total scheme of world affairs. ji John T. Sawyer Made First Class Marine Marine Private First Class John J. Sawyer, 18, son of Mr. and Mis. John- T. Sawyer, Route 2, Edenton, was-promoted to his present rank when he graduated from “boot camp” : at Parris Maud, 'S. C. During the past eight weeks of in- 1 .tensive training and as 'a result of field experience and classroom lec tures, the new Marine has become well versed in such military subjects as precision drill, first aid, hygiene and field tactics. He climaxed his recruit training by w’nning the Marksman medal on the rifle range when he fired a score of '197 out of a possible 250 during his weapons training. Tn addition to firing the famed Ga- 1 rand Rifle for qualification he fired other infantry weapons such as the .45 calibre pistol, carbine, and Brown ing Automatic Rifle. He also wit nessed demonstration firing of bhe machine gun, mortar and flame thrower. 11 Vets Question Box | Q —l am a disabled veteran taking training under Public Law 16.

I Answer: In flue cured and Mairy- s land tobaccos particularly, .the quality s and source of nitrogen used in the e fertilizer largely determines ithe quali- c ty and usability of Ithe crop. A con- a ditton of semi-starvation for nitrogen, i especially as the crop nears maturity, r must be achieved. A surplus of rittrro- t gen will result in dark colors, poor- £ er bum characteristic and a higher \ nicotine content. j Question: What are the main points s to check when giving the farm trac- * | tor a spring check-cp? ' I Answer: Despite all its ruggedness 1 and power, the farm tractor is an ex ample of precision machinery. Its care is important, and every tractor . owneT should follow an effective schedule of inspection and preventa tive maintenance. There are a num ( her of points involved in such a pro- * , gram.

NORTH CAROLINA Answer: Test your soil and ap ply 'the necessary lime and fertilizer. Prepare a good seedbed. Treat your seed. Plant in rows 24 inches apart, setting the seed about seven inches apart in the row. Cultivate early and often with a rotary hoe. Dust with aldrin, dieldrin, heptachlor or toxa phene to control insects, especially rootworms. Apply gypsum (land plas ter ( at early blooming time to row area. Plow out row middles at lay-by with four-inch single plow to leave plant beels broad and flat, not in a sharp peak. And dust with copper-! sulfur mixture three times at two week intervals starting about July 1 to control leafspot diseases. Poor Management Boosts Poultry Losses “It is entirely possible that the mor tality rate in poultry brought about by poor management practices at least equals that caused by contagious di seases,’’according to an outstanding North Carolina poultry specialist. R. S. Dearstyne, head of the de partment of poultry science at N. C. State College, while plugging for sound poultry management, maintains that success in the poultry business de pends largely on four things: cost NOTICE! CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT oixie'grill to Joe’s Drive-In Operated By Joe Swanner CURB SERVICE Open 10:00 A. M. to 12:00 P. M. of chicks, feed, management and la bor. Dearstyne lislts these steps to bet ter and cheaper poultry production: 1. Stress should he laid on disease prevention. The mortality rate is far too high and it could be lowered. Every poultryman should rave a di sease prevention program which would necessarily include high quality chicks from the standpoint of vigor, a bal anced diet and a carefully conducted, objective management program. 2. Don’t waste feed. More than 50 per cent of the cost of production is in the feed. Use feeders that have grills, reels or lipped edges and kill any rats on the farm. A mature rat will eat 50 to 100 pounds of feed a year. 3. Cull your non-profitable birds. Feeding a bird that isn’t going to pay his way really constitutes wasting (feed. Young, weak birds eat feed, but do not make profitable growth. Layers which do not produce eggs cheaply do not build sufficient flesh to pay for the feed they consume. Un culled, unproductive bird's also add to labor overhead. Never Trust ’Em Prison Chaplain—Why are you here again, Tom ? Convict—-Because of my belief, sir? Chaplain—Nonsense! What do you mean ?
