All of these trees were purchased from the nursery operated by State Forester Cl a ridge with the exception of 177.000 which were secured from T.V.A. The industry planted 5,395 acres of its lands and contributed to small landowners enough trees to plant 4,-' 177 acres. In many cases, the use of tree planting machines by the land- 1 owner was also provided by the in- j dustry. 11th National Farm !

W.h ****** A' SENATOR I .lenhohM |-3P|se*REPORTS * ■'iTfl Washington—The Senate last week ’came to a log-jam as the debate on pending legislation continued, i Debate { Sleepy-eyed Senators remained near ] the Senate chamber as the debate con tinued around the clock. The Serg ! eant-at-Arms kept a ready eye alert ed to round up the absentees in the .event of a quorum call or a roll call. The atmosphere was tense. The Seri- 1 ate was locked in continuing debatej Jon the bill to amend the Atomic Ener- 1 Igy Act of 1946. The Majority I.ead-j •er ordered cots placed in the rooms' 'adjacent to the floor. My colleagues I removed their ties, stretched out for | a short nap on the cots, and soon 'there was a chorus of legislative 'snores. Record A record of 54 hours of continuous ’ session was set by the Senate in 1916. . The longest session last year was ■ " slightly over 22 hours on the tide : lands oil Dill. This is possible as the ■ United States Senate is the only for um in the world where debate is un THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C„ THURSDAY. JULY 29, 1954. : limited. The Issue I believe the President made a mis take in the way the present proposal i ■ was handled. I voted for the amend ment to let private industry build the steam generating plant in Arkansas ather then TVA. My position is that TVA has done a good job in the Ten nessee Valley, but that it should not; compete with private industry when ; j private enterprise can supply the same 1 power at competitive rates. It seems j unreasonable for the taxpayers of oth ij er sections of the country to have to! i pay for a steam generating plant for, • a special section of the country. 11 voted for Senator Ed Johnson’s amendment to enable the AEC to dis pose of excess power because I feel ' that the AEC program has been built ; up at the taxpayers’ expense and that j . the public should benefit from it for ; peaceful purposes. Sidelights This debate saw every parliament . ary maneuver imaginable used. It is ■ interesting to observe the extended de- bate at first hand. No Senator dares yield the floor before carefully sur veying the situation. Speechs usual ly run from four to six hours. Under the rules, a member can speak indefi nitely on each amendment, so the test of endurance depends on physical stamina. The Senate Restaurant stay ed open. Coffee consumption ran high. Nerves and tempers were strain ed. One of the reporters of debate . was stricken at his desk. These re porters take down in shorthand every word spoken on the floor for the Con gressional Record. There is no chance to get the session concluded by July 31. There is too much important leg islation on the schedule awaiting ac tion to expect the end so soon. Any way, the Senate is air-conditioned, and the weather outside doesn’t have too ' much to do with it because it was hotter in the Senate chamber than the ; temperature would indicate. It was the kind of heat that honest men gen erate when greatly divided on basis issues. It is the kind of thing that l democracy guarantees and that the ! enemies of our government distrust — freedom of speech! i :': —- George W. Evans Dies Following Brief Illness George W.
