PAGE TWO u&c?!6n three ISINATOR 4 SAM IRVIN j|yg| Washington Last week the, Senate Judiciary Committee of which I am a member began i hearings on the nomination of Associate Justice Potter Stewart to the United States Supreme Court. | Committees of Congress have been criticized for lack of thor oughness in questioning men ap-, pointed to high places in our gov ernment. I think this criticism . has often been justified. It is j particularly appropriate for the, Senate Judiciary Committee to j thoroughly determine Justice! Stewart’s fitness to serve on the Supreme Court. During the appearance of the nominee before the Committee, a point of order was made as to; the propriety of a question asked j Mr. Stewart by Senator McClel- 1 lan. The question —completely) in order and proper—was this: | “Do you agree with the prcm-l ise used, the reasoning and logic J applied —or the lack of either or j both, as the case may be—and j the philosophy expressed by the I Supreme Cou.t in arriving at its: decision in the (school segrega tion case)?” Senator Hennings raised the point of order. After some rath- 1 er vigorous discussion by mem bers of the Committee it was ap-1 parent that no support was to be I found for such a point of order. I In fact, it was argued by Sena tors from both South and North that a committee member could not be precluded from asking a , question. It was pointed out j that the nominee could decline t<>| answer if he so desired. To have sustained the point of order would have been a dangerous, and unheard of precedent. To Senator McClellan’s ques tion Justice Stewart answered that basically his answer was that he agreed with the decision. The Committee wrangle lasted for some time and it was neces sary to adjourn the meeting be fore my turn had come for ques tioning the nominee. At the next meeting for questioning Justice Stewart, I want to determine whether he thinks integration is more important than education. To All People of Edenton I hereby announce myself as a candi date for Mayor of Edenton ... to be voted on in the Municipal election May sth. I especially appeal to all voters to elect me Mayor and hereby pledge my all-out efforts to give Edenton the best govern ment Edenton has had. I will especially give of my time and cooperation to each department head in the interest of unity. I also want each person in Edenton to see me for any ser vices I might give toward improving all problems or any suggestions you have to offer, as I shall represent ALL of the peo ple. I sincerely solicit your vote. LEROY H. HASKETT 1,000-Mile Lubrication!

I have carefully reviewed his de-! eisions as a Judge of the 6th Cir-| cuit Court of Appeals. It is my' firm opinion that Justice Stewart! made an unfortunate decision in the Hillsboro, Ohio School de cision in 1956. He helped over turn a lower court ruling uphold ing the Hillsboro School Board. His decision required immediate integration of the Ohio School!, even though the school officials | had asked for a delay on the grounds of overcrowding. Questioning of Justice Stewart by the Judiciary Committee must! of absolute necessity be thorough and fair if members of the Com-j mittee are to fulfill their respon sibilities to the people and the Constitut : on which requires Sen [ ate approval of a nomination to (the Supreme Court. This is so | because the Congress and the i ountry have been alarmed .at I what I honestly, feel has been I usurpation of legislative power j by the Supreme Court. !

GARDEN TIME Gardner .C . State College 'D ■ ■■■• ' • ■ It seems that a good deal of excitement is being generated concerning the use of Castor) Bean Pomace as a control forj moles in the yard and garden. Since we have no information of a definite nature, we think it i advisable to tell you something about the material. Castor Bean Pomace is a by-| product of the oil industry. The botanical name of the castor plant is Ricinus and the pomace i contains Ricin which is a white protein poison. There are cases on record where workers have been made ill from the dust of ihe pomace or by absorbing it through the skin. Until more is known about this method of control, you had best use the old reliable trap, or Chlordane at the rate of one-fourth pound to j 1,000 square feet of land area. * This treatment will kill off the earthworms and other animal life on which the moles feed. Now, this one comes as a surprise and somewhat of a shock, because one of our popu lar house plants is involved — Philodendron. Two doctors writing in the “Archives of Dermatology” report that a skin | eruption caused by philodendron !is very similar to that caused by contact with poison oak. “The doctors have seen at least 12 cases of philodendron-caused j dermatitis in the last few years; j medical literature mentions oth- Icr cases. There are approxi mately 100 species of the genus, 'he most popular being P. c-or datum with heart-shaped glossy MORE PROFITS for YOU ertilizer - IT WILL MEAN -- Extra Profits For You In Pelleform Smith - Douglass Fertilizer IS SCIENTIFICALLY ENRICHED SURE WORKING to™ l " l *'- LCKS Mea " s SB On Your Bag fcHrijMl Profits For You We Have On Hand A Large Variety Os George Tait’s and Asgrow Field And Garden Seeds When You Plant George Tait’s and Asgrow Seeds You Plant The Best! -SEE- Leary Bros.

Carmine and Japanese- Flowering. A new variety was named and introduced in 1958 by the University of Minnesota— Radiant. It is reported to be vigorous with reddish foliage in the spring. The flowers are a bright rosy color followed by small brigh* red fruits'. The i fruits cling to the tree all win | ter.
