SENATOR A
SAM ERVIN Wi gk
* SAYS *
I r
m. ,
Washington. Last week the
Congress recessed for the period
of the political party national
conventions. It was necessary
for me to leave early for Los
Angeles as I am again serving!
as a member of the platform j
committee of the Democratic i
convention. My experience at!
Chicago in 1956 convinced me
that it is not an easy matter to '
spend several days listening to
advocates of extreme proposals.
This is a responsibility in addi-1
tion to my duty as a delegate'
from North Carolina. Following
Mr. Truman’s news conference,
dicat ions were that the conven
tion will be a lively affair. As
often stated, Democrats
seem to enjoy a good conven
tion fight. We should have one.
VOTE I expect to support
Senator Lyndon Johnson for the
nomination. He is my first
choice, and I have not stated a
second choice. I am personally
very fond of my colleagues in
the Senate who are seeking the
nomination. It is my thought
that Senator Johnson, the major
ity leader of the Senate, has un
usual qualifications for the nom
ination.
THE LEGISLATIVE FUTURE
—While I felt that the Congress
should adjourn sine die after
passing the necessary appropria
tions bills, it appeared that such
a course was not possible. I,
therefore, supported the resolu
tion to recess pending the con
ventions. Upon the return of
Congress, there should be a
u4nnnum of legislative activity
if> thft so-called polilcal year.

try to legislate in such an at
mosphere. As I said on the
floor of the Senate, if the coun
try has endured for all of the
years since 1789 without some
jof these bills, it seems reason
able to expect that the country
jwill not fall pending the return
of Congress in January, a time
[for more reflective consideration
|of legislation. - *y
BILLS PENDING perhaps
[one of the most, controversial
pieces of legislation to- - meet us
upon our.' return in ' August will
be the minimum wage bill. The
House, passed a modification of
the original proposal of $1.25,
reducing that to $1.15 per hour
as well as placing more moder
ate proposals in the bill regard
ing extension of coverage. There
undoubtedly will be a mammoth
effort to enact the $1.25 hourly
minimum wage with much
broadened provisions as to cov
erage by the Senate. This bill
is very significant; it must be
given very careful sending to
prevent the destruction of the
little-man who is barely making
his small business go at the
moment.
SOCIAL SECURITY—The re
vision of the Social Security Act
with respect to medical assist
ance to the aged is another mat
ter that the Senate must face
upon returning in August. I am
afraid that such issues as this
will virtually produce a pro
longed session.
There is no doubt that much
work remains to be done if the
Congress insists on taking up
the remaining issues.

National Farm Safety Week
National Farm Safety ' Week
will be observed July 24-30.
Farm people can help by:
1. Making frequent, regular in
spections of their farm property,
homes and equipment and re
moving, or cocreating-all haVards
found.
2. Trying consistently do devel
op safe work attitudes and prac
tices in themselves.
, 3. Helping each other in the
farm family to share,the en
joyment of ' safe living' through
safe living habits.
4. Supporting and participat
ing in National Farm Safety
Week and other organized safety
activities as much as they can—
during this special week and the
year-around.
5. Practicing safety every
where, all the time.
