PAGE TWO >—SECTION TWO. ’SENATOR SAM ERVIN * SAYS * Washington —Ever since I came to the Senate, I have been, desirous of obtaining an assignment to the Judiciary Committee, which han dles most of the bills dealing with proposed changes in the laws of the United States. The Democratic Steering Committee has selected me for a place on this Committee, and this selection has been confirm ed by the Senate. Consequently, I necessarily look forward to a busy year, because the Judiciary Com mittee considers and passes on more than 55 per cent of all the proposed legislation presented to the Senate by its members or pass ed by the House in the first in stance. Two Major Problems Since the convening of the 85th Congress the members of the Sen ate have been concerned with two problems—the proposed change in Senate rules and the President’s recommendation concerning the Middle East. A great deal of misleading prop aganda has been issued by those seeking to change the rules of the Senate so as to permit a majority of the Senators to silence the mi nority after rather limited debate. One of the pieces of misleading propaganda is the insinuation that it is the Senators from the South who abuse the privilege of debate in the Senate. As a matter of fact, it is impossible under present fjenate rules for all the Senators from the South to prevent a vote on any proposed legislative meas »re. This is true because under present Senate rules it takes .‘l4 Senators to prevent cloture', that is, the ending of debate. The South has only 22 Senators. Filibusters Another piece of misleading propaganda is that filibusters are used only against so-called civil rights bills. The history of the Senate shows that there have been 45 filibusters and that only 9 of them were directed against so-call ed civil rights bills. My study of history convinces me that the enactment of meritori ous legislation has never been per manently prevented or substantial ly delayed by a filibuster. On'lh* contrary, however, much bad legis lation has been permanently defeat ed by debate in the Senate, because such debate has informed the American people of the evils which would flow from the enactment of such legislation. It can be said with great truth that the United States Senate is virtually the only deliberative leg islative body now existing in the world. This is because its rules permit as many as 84 of its mem bers to prevent an ending of debate until the minority of the Senate has had ample opportunity to ex press its views. If the Senate rules are ever changed so as to permit 49 Sena tors to silence the other 47, the American people will be the help less subjects of an impatient and tyrannical majority and liberty will cease to exist in this land. It is passing strange that the most zealous advocates of changes in the Senate rule are those who speak the most. I shall -have something to say next week concerning the Presi dent’s Middle East proposal.

Chapin A certain countryman was ar rested on the charge of mule steal ing and brought to trial. He was taken before the judge. The prosecuting attorney read the charge against him, and then ask ed. “Are you guilty or not guilty?” The accused man squirmed un easily in his chair, obviously un willing to commit himself. “Well, boss,” he finally said, “ain’ dat the very thing we is try in’ to find out ?” There is merit in a calm, objec tive approach to a question, yet no Accident Pacts ] r> Chicago Tractor accidents kill about 1,000 farmers every year, ac cording to the 1956 edition of “Ac cident Facts,” the statistical year book of the National Safety Coun cil which is just off the press.

NORTH CAP.OLINA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1957. one is enthusiastic over a person who is always neutral. You cannot like a neutral person, nor can you dislike him. He is never for any thing nor is he against anything. 1 It can be saicj that he must not believe in anything. One who be -1 lieves in something cannot be neu tral because there are unbelievers to challenge every belief. One must cease to believe or cease to be neutral. There is something warm, vital, real and colorful about a believer, whether we agree with him or not. There is a colorless nothingness about a neutral person. We can get along without the neutrals, but we would never achieve anything - without the believers. BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. and Mrs. George M. Ander son of Raleigh announce the birth of a daughter, Pamela Jo, born Thursday, January 3. Mrs. An derson is the former Miss Frances Collins of Edenton. Rising above the false to the true evidence of life, is the resurrection that takes hold of eternal truth. —Mary Baker Eddy. Hormones .or Plant Regulators. What are they? I may be wading into deep water, but I hope I don’t sink before I get to the end of this column. Some call them hormones, some growth regulators; still oth ers just accept them and use ac cording to the instructions on the container. Let’s see what we can find out. Suppose we begin with 2,4-Dich lorophenozyethyl sulfate. Come to think of it, this might also be a good place to end because many of the names are even longer. All we need to remember is that they rep resent the names and addresses of a long list of complicated chemical formulae used to regulate the growth of plants in one way or an other. Perhaps if we define, as simply as possible, plant hormones and plant regulators it might help a little. A hormone is produced by the plant and influences growth processes by movement within the plant. On the other hand, plant regulators are organic compounds applied to the plant to influence growth and reproductive process es. So, you see, there is a differ ence, and perhaps we should best refer to these compounds as growth regulators because hormones also regulate plant growth. By using the broad term, we include the weed killers. We have been conducting ex periments with young oat seedlings in which the growing top has been bent in one direction by the ap plication of a growth regulator in the proper concentration. From this study we hope to be able to modify the growth of peach trees so they will not bloom so early and be killed by spring frosts. We have used plant regulators in a number of other studies: for rooting cut tings; preventing and inducing sprouting in stored Irish potatoes; regulating shoot growth on azaleas as an aid to flower production; with tomatoes to prevent bloom dropping and to influence cell structure; for killing weeds in strawberries, nursery crops and gladiolus fields; and to thin ap ples. You can buy some of these ma terials from your seedsman under different trade names. Instruc tions for use will be given on the container. Hope I haven’t left you stranded.

It’s possible, thanks to an 830-mile unbroken chain of turnpikes. Joined in one contin uous route, the New Jersey Turn pike, Pennsylvania Turnpike, Ohio Turnpike, and the Indiana Toll Road offer the longest stretch of four-lane, divided highway in the world. Recently I made this trip. Here’s some information I picked up on the Ohio Turnpike, a typical link in this modern magic carpet: There are 16 Service Plazas, open 24 hours a day, offering food, gasoline, oil and service. > Separate parking areas and fuel pumps for automobiles and trucks are provided at each Service Pla za. Special “speed change” lanes let the driver slow down gradually when approaching a Plaza, and pick up speed when going back onto the turnpike. Changes in weather and other factors affecting road conditions are posted promptly at the en trance toll booths. - Special officers of the Ohio State Highway Patrol cruise the turn pike night and day, to help any motorists in trouble and insure the safety of all drivers. Emergency vehicle service is available all the time. If you need help, park on the outside (right hand) paved shoulder, reserved for emergency parking only. Hang a handkerchief from the window or raise the car’s hood (or both) as a signal. A two-way radio sys tem links all official turnpike ve hicles, maintenance buildings and toll plazas, and help is on the way in a jiffy, r Goodness and philanthropy begin with work and never stop work ing. —Mary Baker Eddy.
