■A" SENATOR I A LENNON M Washington—The Senate last week( voted 76-12 to send the Flanders reso- 1 lotion and all amendments thereto to; • select committee. I The Committee ' I was highly pleased with the ap pointment of the bi-partisan commit tee. It is made up of three Demo erats and three Republicans. They are Senators Watkins, Case, Carlson, Johnson of Colorado, Stennis, and myi colleague from North Carolina, Sena tor Sam J. Ervin, Jr. They are men of integrity, character, and exception al ability. . North Carolinians know of the out pfending judicial record of Senator rJSrvin, who left the Supreme Court bench in June to suceed the late Sena tor Hoey. He brought to the Senate a distinguished record of service, which will be of great value to this select committee. No Fanfare My best judgment is that the mat ter of the so-called Flanders resolu tion and amendments, which include the charges against Senator McCar thy, will be investigated on a judicial level without regard to emotionalism, hysteria, fanfare or political influence. I also believe that the committee will be able to resolve these matters with in a reasonable length of time. I want a chance to vote on this mat ter based on evidence obtained by ju dicial inquiry. This is the overwhelm ing sentiment of the Senate. I did not want to see charges hurled without documentation which would resolve the matter without precedent, using the same tactics that Senator McCar thy is charged with using. I believe in orderly procedure and justice. The people of the country, on both sides of this controversial issue, must rea g lize that justice must not be trampled wild emotionalism—that right will tprevail once reasonable men seek to reach the facts of the situation void of political implications. In the meantime, I am hopeful that the people of the country will let the committee members conduct this in vestigation with dignity and ultimate service to the nation. Certainly it must be resolved at this session of the Congress. To permit the issues joined in the controversy to be carried over to another Congress would be unfort unate. Farm Bill I supported and voted for 90 per cent of parity for basic agricultural commodities where production can be controlled.

We lost that but did man age to knock out a half-billion dollars. The conference committee restored [three hundred million of that. I am .glad to see the Senate come to the realization that unlimited foreign eco nomic spending must be abolished. Marshall When the President spoke out in General George Marshall’s defense In his press conference last week, it gave me immeasurable pride. General Mar shall spends many months of each year in North Carolina. We recog nize his patriotism. I was glad to take note of this on the Senate floor and insert in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD the remarks by the Presi dent and an editorial giving the late Secretary Stimpson’s high regard for General Marshall. Average Student Books €ost $3.49 Per Year The nation spent $3.49 for textbooks for each elementary and high school student during 1963. This is 6.4% more per pupil than in 1962, less than 1% of the total education budget, ac cording to the American Textbook Publishers Institute. Total secondary school textbook sales increased 11.3%, but school en rollments also increased tremendous ly in the same period.

This year Buick has moved into the lofty circle of America’s three top sales leaders —a circle once dominated only by the so-called “low-price three.” For today, Buick is outselling all other cars in the nation except two of these “low-price three** And each new month’s sales figures strengthen Buick’s new sales leadership.
