SECTION - - : THREE (SENATOft 1 'Washington There is a reso lution to extend* the life of the Senate Rackets Committee pend ing before the Senate. Extension Necessary —The Rac kets Committee, generally re ferred to as the McClellan Com mittee, went out of being as a select committee on the last day of March. As you know, it was not created as a permanent group but was created as a se lect bipartisan committee to in vestigate improper activities in the labor or management fields, -it is proposed to extend the| 7 committee for another year im order to complete many unfin ished details. The extension of the committee is necessary. This is true for many reasons. One is that the committee has vo luminous confidential records ac cumulated in the •course of in vestigations made by the staff and much information from peo ple regarding the malodorous in filtration of the underworld in to some areas of the labor-man agement field. Since the work of the committee, the courts have been making valuable use of some of the committee files to help bring to justice those un derworld characters and others who have abused the honest working man and who have vio lated their trusts. As the com mittee authorization from the Senate has expired, this form of cooperation cannot proceed.

Rather I think the committee should be extend ed more in the nature jof a stand-by group. If this is not done a great amount of the value of the committee’s long and hard work will not be uti lized. The Rules Committee has favorably reported the resolu tion to extend the Rackets Com mittee for one year. I am hope ful that the resolution will be adopted forthwith by the Sen ate. Weather Satellite The suc cessful performance by Tiros I, the weather satellite launched at Cape Caneveral, is an astound ing achievement. As a member of the Armed Services Commit tee,! think this may be a giant step forward toward the preser vation of world peace. While this type of satellite is in the first steps of development, never theless Tiros I has demonstrated its potential. This will undoubt edly hasten the time when space cameras can successfully “spy” on the entire earth. It is gratifying that the first satellite of this type to be orbit ed is for a peaceful purpose. Transmitted pictures of cloud formations have already been used to confirm weather condi-' tions on a large scale.

While giving to religion continued to total more than all other causes, giving to education grew faster in the past year than any other category of philanthropy. Total giving increased more than S7OO million to reach an unexpected high of $7.8 billion in 1959. The AAFRC, a non-profit organization of major fund-raising firms, estimated that individual giving increased $450 million, and is fo»»v times greater than the combined total of all other philanthropic gifts. Individuals gave an estimated $6.1 billion in 1959. h mary as presently constituted, j The regulations vary from state- 1 to-state, and I am convinced that their importance is greatly! overemphasized.

Soap And Water Still Regarded Best Beauty Treatment Eve had no need of a powder puff or a pot of rouge to catch Adam . . . but then she had no competition, either. It’s a far diiferent story for her daughters, who spend more than $1.5 billion a year, accord ing to World Book Encyclopedia, in their search for beauty, youth . . . and men. This leap year they can even aim themselves w,th false eye brows to match the deceptive eyelashes they’ve been flutter ing. It’s just a slight improvement over Cleopatra, who probably] would have gone down in his- j tory without any help from An tony because of her proficiency! with paint. The Egyptians were so con-' cerned with their good looks that they wrote in‘o the marri- 1 age contract the amount of beauty oils to be given a wife.] Maybe you do and maybe you l don’t bleach your hair. But the| ladies thought nothing of it back in Juvenal’s time, when Roman gentlemen preferred blondes. | The Greeks were among the first people to dye their hair. l And they gave us the name far the art of improving on nature— cosmetics, from the word “kos betikos,” meaning “skilled in decorating.” j The English tried some “in terior decorating” during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. They t: ied to dupl cate the queen’s pale, bleak color by i swallowing gravel, tallow and ashes. The French, with their more discriminating palaies, bled themselves to achieve the same effect during the period cf the Revolution. Fortunately the Food and Drug Administration and the medical profession have helped to stamp out some of the more ghoulish recipes for beauty. But the best beauty treatment is still soap and that, unromantic liquid used by a French courte san, to the horror of other wo men, in the 1500’s—water. U.S. SAVINGS BONDS g\f\ '< Where you i; !

Reitzel. The 1,642.000 tons of fertilizers and fertilizer materials sold in the state contained 403.512 tons of the primary plant foods —ni-; trogen, phosphate and potash— compared with 342.386 tons of these plant foods used in fiscal year 1957-58.

EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA ! preceding nine years. During the past 1C years the ] peak year for total tonnage was 1951-52. when 1.902,000 tons were sold, bu; the primary plant 'food content that year was 3.- 423 tons less than in 1958-59. Increases in total plant food consumption without comparable increases in total tonnage indi cate the continue trend toward use of mixed fertilizers with higher analysis, Reitzel said. Nearly 98 percent of the mixed fertilizer sold in the state last i year contained 20 or more units of plant food, compared with approximately 65 per cent in that category 10 years ago. About 80 percent of the pri mary plant food used in the state in 1958-59 was contained in mixed fertilizers, which Reitzel says has been the usual ratio in recent years. Total consumption of plant foods tast year bv kinds was: Nitrogen. 129.000 tons, an increase of 24.000 tons, or 22 ' percent; phosphate. 125.000 tons. : an increase of 17.000 tons or 16 ! percent; and potash. 154.000 tons. ! an increase of 30.000 tons or 21 j percent. About 46.5 percent of j the nitrogen. 96 percent of the 1 phosphate and 90 percent of the j potash were applied as mixed ! fertilizers.
