Heart Fund State Chairmaft, C. R. Andrews (left) of Greensboro
and National Co-Chairman, Kenneth C. Royall of New York were
happy over returns coming in on Heart Sunday, February 24th.
Royall, a native of North Carolina and former Secretary of the
Army, visited the state during the campaign to boost the efforts of
Heart volunteers who numbered around 35,000. “Returns are still
' coming in,” said Andrews. “We have received over $200,000 to
date and expect to reach the $300,000 mark when all late gifts and
I not-at-home envelopes have been mailed in. Don’t forget,” he add
! ed, “it is still not too late to give. Those who were missed on
! Heart Sunday can send their contributions to their local Heart
Chapter or Heart Committee or to the North Carolina Heart As
sociation in Chapel Hill.” The 1956 Heart Fund total was $227,-

I am always interested in some
thing new, as I am sure you are
Earlier we discussed “Plant Regu
lators”. This time I want to tel)
you about the newest one, Gibberel
lie Acid, which will be available
this summer under the trade name
of “Gibrel”.
Let m e say in the beginning that
I am not recommending “Gibrel”
because it is still in the experi
\ mental stage. However, some rath-
exciting things have already
been reported concerning the re
sponse of certain vegetable and
flower crops to this plant regula
tor.
The African Violet is one of the
most common and satisfactory
house plants and I am suggesting
.that, if you want to experiment a
little, you try this new material on
a few of your plants. It is claimed
that “Gibrel” will cause the plants
to grow more erect, bloom more
profusely and have a more pointed
and attractive leaf.

Washington—A mnpor constitu
tional debate is foreseen in Con
gress over proposals to expand cov
erage under the wage-hour law.
The crux of the ‘fight is the at
tempt of some Senators—supported
by unions—to extend federal con
trol in this field beyond anything
ever proposed before.
Success in the movement, oppon
ents say. would make Congress su
preme over all business—however
small—and destroy rights of the
states.
Committee Consideration Under
Way—The issue was first raised
this session in a hearing of the
Senate Labor Committee. The
same controversy also is pending
in the House Labor Committee.
The bill which would give the
federal government unprecedented!
power is sponsored by Senators
Morse of Oregon, Murray of Mon
tana, Neely of W. Virginia, and
McNamara of Michigan, all Demo
crats. The latter was a labor un
ion official before coming to Con
gress.
Under the bill, about 10,000,000
additional persons would be brought
under the law. These have not
been covered because they are in
what has been considered intra-

state business—and thus outside
i federal jurisdiction—or because of
' specific exemptions. j
j Broad Terms of Bill-—The pro
posed legislation is, intended to
bring virtually every activity in
any way affecting commerce under
federal control.
An employee would be covered,
by federal law if he is employed
“in or about or in connetcion with”
any business in which his employ
er engaged in “any activity affect
ing commerce.”
The legislation would define “ac
tivity affecting commerce” to in
clude, among other things, any ac
tivity “competing with any activi
ty in commerce.”
Sen. Allett (R.-Colo.) expressed
concern over the vague and broad
definitions in the bill extending
federal power over business. He
referred to the provision saying
that an employer would be subject
to the law if he is “competing with
any activity in commerce.”
“Would any area of business not
be covered under this?” he asked
Secretary of Labor Mitchell.
“We don’t know of any," replied
Mitchell.
The Colorado Senator also point
ed out that the legislation would
apply to an employer where pay
ment of wages below the minimum
“tends to burden or obstruct com-
I merce.”
“Do you know of any criteria un
der which you could make' such a
finding?” he asked Secretary
Mitchell.
“I think it would be difficult, if
not impossible,” replied Mitchell.
The Colorado Senator saw in the
legislation the expansion of fed
eral claim of power which mini
. mizes authority of the states. He
said that if the trend continues
there will be very little use for
: state law—and little use for states
f except for administrative purposes.
| Administration Wens The fight
over the legislation again empha

• among (1) conservative anti-New
; Fair Dealers, (2) The Eisenhower

In this instance, many represen
■ tatives of business are vigorously
opposed to any extension of cover
. age under the wage-hour law.
The Eisenhower program, as
• urged by Secretary of Labor Mitch

the wage-hour law within what he

I al limits.
The Mitchell plan would cover
