SAM ERVIN iSygl
mmmm mmi
Washington—One of the most in
spiring events I have ever observ
ed occurred in the auditorium of
the Labor Department here on
Tuesday morning of Oast week when
President Eisenhower presented the
President’s trophy to Sam M. Cath
ey, of Asheville, North Carolina, as
the ‘‘most distinguished handicap
ped person of the year."
Sam Cathey
Sam Cathey is a remarkable per
son. He was accidentally blinded
at the age of 20 years. Despite
this handicap, he attended the Uni
versity of North Carolina, where
he made an exemplary record as a
student of law.
Upon his graduation from law
school, Sam Cathey embarked upon
the practice, of law at Ashevill°,
where his sterling qualities of head
and heart soon won for him the
post of Judge of the Municipal
Court. He still occupies this ju
dicial position.
During the 24 years of his ser
vice on the Municipal Bench, Sam
Cathey has demonstrated an un
failing capacity to execute justice I
in mercy. In addition to perform
ing his judicial labors, he has ren
dered valiant service to other han
dicapped people, particularly the
blind.
The circumstances under which 1
first met Sam Cathey merit re
counting. About thirty years ago,
I was sitting beside a friend in a
smoker on a train. Sam Cathey
entered the smoker, seated himself,
and listened to our conversation for
about a minute. He then turned to
me and said: ‘‘You must he Joe
Ervin’s brother. I can tell it by
your voice.’
Since that time, I have followed j
Sam Cathey’s career with increas
ing admiration. Judge Sam Cathey
has refused to permit his blindness
to be a handicap to him. As a re
sult. his life ought to he an in
spiration to all of us.
Veto
The Senate had an exceedingly
busy time last week. On Tuesday
it voted 54 to 39 to override the
President's veto of the Postal Pay
Bill. Tile object of the majority
was not accomplished, however, be
cause the Constitution provides that
a twee-thirds vote is necessary to
override a Presidential veto. I was
one of the 54 who voted to override
the veto. I took this course be

’ a few days.
Highway Bill
! During the past week the Sen
ate rejected the Administration’s
Highway Bill and passed a substi
tute Highway Bill popularly known
■ as the Gore Bill. In my judgment,
I the Senate acted wisely in so do
-1 ing for two chief reasons. Under
the Administration Bill, control
' over interstate highways would
have been vested in a new Federal
Highway Corporation. Under the
Gore Bill, control over such high
ways is left with the present road
governing authorities. As a con
sequence, state highway authorities
will continue to have a large voice
in the construction of interstate
highways. Under the Administra
tion Bill, the. bulk of the monies
furnished by the Federal Govern
ment for the construction of high
ways would have been raised by a
bond issue, which would have borne
interest rates totaling approximate
ly 55 per cent over the entire life!
of the bonds. Under the Gore Bill,
the bulk of the monies furnished
by the Federal Government for
highway construction will come
from current tax revenues.
Big- Gains Shown In
Income Distribution
Close to half of all spending
units in the United States had a
money income of #4,000 or more a
year in 1954, just about double the
I proportion in 1947, according to the]
i latest Federal Reserve Survey of
| Consumer Finances.
The most dramatic change occur
red in the $5,000 to $7,500 income
bracket, which comprised 21 per
cent of all spending units last year
as Compared with only 9 per cent
in 1947. Eleven per cent more had
a money income of $7,500 nr more
in 1954 against 5 per cent seven
years before, while the proportions
for the $4,00p-$5.000 bracket were
15 and 10 per cent, respectively.
These changes were accompanied
by a big drop in the group with in
comes under $3,000 a year, where
the proportion last year was 37 per
cent as compared with 59 per cent
in l!l47. Percentagewise, the $3,-
000-$4,£00 income_grouj> has. Ce
tmaTned quite stable over the per

come up with one about the “one that got away”—a Jonah that towed their boat along the Wiscon

f Health For All
Cue For Laughter
If you were writing a tragedy,
you wouldn’t give your hero a case
of hiccups. On film or on stage,
“hie” is a signal for laughter. But
all joking aside, while hiccups may
be a nuisance to most people, a
serious case may exhaust the pa
tient to the point of death.
The danger of long-continued hic
cups was dramatized for all of us
when Pope Pius XII suffered a
series of attacks which endanger
ed his life. Cases have been re
corded which lasted as long as nine
months. Drugs, inhalations, and
even surgery have been used in the
past to control hiccups. A new
drug, chlorpromazine, seems to
promise good results in most diffi
cult cases.
Hiccup is due to a spasm of the
diaphragm, resulting from an irri
tation of the nerve pathways. The
irritation may have a simple cause,
such as overeating or drinking or
even a fit of laughter. When hic
cups come from simple causes, they
may also be caused by a disease
or toxic condition. Hiccups may
make it difficult to treat the di
sease which caused the spasm in
the first place. In some cases, it
may be necessary to block or crush
the phrenic nerve which controls
the diaphragm.
It isn't enough to stop the hic
cups. The cause must be found
nnd eliminated, or they will return.

few as five days of continued
hiccups can leave the patient in a
stats of exhaustion. If hiccups
continue for more than a day, it is
wise to consult the doctor. Why
suffer unnecessarily when the doc
tor can stop the spasms and then
j get at the cause ?
Hard Luck
A man tried to train a fish to
live out of water. The first day he
kept the fish out of the bowl for
one hour. The second day, for two
hours. The third, for three hours,
and so on until it would live in the
air for a day at a time.
One day the man was walking
over a bridge, while the fish, which |
