SECTION TWO—: A SENATOR f^Y A LENNOH JjgL ports ☆ Hfl i t~———■ Washington—The Senate passed the I excise tax reduction bill last week | including the Douglas amendment which I co-sponsored to reduce the excise tax on electric, oil and gas household appliances from ten per cent to five per cent. Another amendment which I co-sponsored to reduce the excise tax on automobiles and parts from ten per cent to seven per cent ■ was defeated. EXCISE TAX An excise tax has the effect of slowing down consumer buying. . A j tax of this nature is levied during. periods of inflation when the buying; pressures are present. The reason I favored the reduction, in these excise taxes on some things and the complete elimination in other instances, is that J I Want to see consumer buying stimu lated. I think we must sell more con sumer goods and keep our factories running to give employment. CHAVEZ VOTE Every member of the Democratic i party in the Senate Was present and i voted for Senator Chavez last Week. I The Majority party wanted to declare his Senate seat vacant, not because of anything he had done, but because of certain election methods in his state. I have been told by a number of Senators who have been around Washington for a long time that it was the first time all were present | in many years. No person brought, any charges against Senator Chavez. | It was rather the question of the way J the election was held in November of 1952. The fight to declare the seatj vacant fell apart when it was suggest- , ed that every person who was elected ! by that ballot was elected under the j same circumstances and it would be' unfair to pick on Senator Chavez. I voted to support Senator Chavez. AZALEA FESTIVAL The Azalea Festival in Wilmington has developed into one of the great spectacles of its type in the country, i It is bringing a lot of favorable pub- : licity to North Carolina. I was ablej : to get out of Washington to attend the event as the Senate was in recess. STATEHOOD After spending two days last week on the Chavez debate and another two days on the excise tax bill, the Sen-|l ate resumes debate on Hawaii-Alaska , : Statehood. While there has been no | definite date set to try to get a vote.' on this measure, the leadership is ex-1 pected to press for completion of do-, I bate soon.
