SECTION TWO—I A SENATOR ik LENNON M RE PORTS a- Washington—Several weeks ago I wrote in this column about my posi- f tion on Congressional investigating, committees. As your Senator, I felt you have a right to be informed on this important question. BACKGROUND My position has not changed. I be lieve we need to change the rules of the committees to halt “one-man” in-; vestigations and to change the desire j for headlines. I will not repeat my remedy for this evil, but simply say that new rules of procedure for in vestigating committees should incor porate the fundamental rights guaran- 1 teed in the Constitution. LIE DETECTOR When the time comes —and it has already—that the investigators have to be investigated then the people have a right to wonder if their sacred rights will be protected. I was shocked to see that there had been a suggestion! that lie detectors be used in the cur- j rent Army-McCarthy investigation. It does not appear to me to be the prop-j er procedure to use when tampering with the fundamental rights of citi zens. While we are completely op posed to atheistic communism, we can certainly, have more effective methods i of committee procedure which Will do the job of rooting them out. j INDO CHINA I But in spite of these domestic and economic problems—and they are im-j portant—l believe the eyes of our country are focused on the grave in- J temational situation. I refer to Indo i China, the far-away land seven thous and miles from our shores where the cancer is communism continues to gnaw at the arteries of free men. This war has been going on for about sev en years. It was being waged while we were fighting in Korea. The Unit ed States has been footing the bill for this war by paying about 80 per cent of the cost. This bill amounts to around a billion dollars. ANOTHER KOREA? It may well be that the Administra-i tion will call on the Congress to be-1 come more involved in this serious matter. We are furnishing supplies; we recently added technicians in a non-combat category. lam not ready to vote to send American boys as com bat troops to Indo China in what seems to be developing as another Korea, i favor the continuation of 1 Notice To Voters l!

The hydrogen and atomic age may well teach the evil forces of the world that the dignity of man is paramount; that no nation can go it alone without spiritual leadership; that communism j offers only tyranny, fear, poverty and i death. Democracy is the only answer. HIGHWAY BILL Early last week the Senate passed the Highway Bill. Most of the debate on it concerned the various amend ments. Final passage was by voice vote. THIS-AND-THAT Washington got hot last week for a time—the weather climbed to 83 de grees and a big thunderstorm cooled things off . . . The weather was so cold that the Cherry Blossom Pageant lhad to be held indoors. Reports reach- I ing our office indicate the excise tax reduction has helped business. That’s ' one of the rewarding things of public office—the opportunity to get things done to help the people. 4-H POULTRY PROJECTS ARE GETTING ALONG VERY WELL "" The 4-H poultry projects seem to be getting along very well, according to | Robert Marsh, Assistant County 'Agent. Some of the members lost a I few chicks soon after they were put j under the brooder but none of them have reported any serious losses. WORKERS COUNCIL MEETS The Agriculture Workers Council met Tuesday afternoon of last week in the county agent’s office with a total of ten members present. A very good discussion was held on producing food for the family and also on Chowan County’s entering the Progressive Farmer’s County Improvement Con j test. i SUNDAY HOURS DISCONTINUED Dr. Martin Wisely and Dr. Roland H. Vaughan this week announced that, effective after April 11. they will not ■ observe regular office hours on Sun • days. However, one of the doctors will be • oh call every Sunday in event of any ’ emergencies. THE CHOWAN HERALD, KDENTON N. C„ THURSDAY APRIL 15, 1954. One Is One Too Many...
