[ m SAYS * fUpSb*
Washington The Attorney
General has asked Congress for
new weapons to combat organiz
ed racketeering. The current i
basketball scandals have brought |
home the impact of organized \
crime in all walks of life. At]
the turn of the 20th century;
Lincoln Steffens in a series of]
newspaper articles uncovered the!
Ugliness and corruption which j
crime brings and a reform wave,
swept the country. The Mc-
Clellan hearings have recently j
shaken public apathy toward
dime. On April 7th the At-*
tomey General announced eight
proposals to more effectively f
cope with organized crime, five
of which are similar to proposals
authored by his predecessor.
These bills are legalistic in their
language but in brief they seek
, to curb criminal activity by reg
ulating interstate • travel for
criminal purposes, regulating the
transportation of gambling de
vices not controlled by the pres-'
ent Johnson Act, and by mak
ing changes in the Fugitive Fel
on Act and the Federal Fire
arms Acts. Most citizens favor
the purpose of this type of leg
islation, but the major problem
confronting Congress and the
Justice Department is the draft
ing of the proposed laws. It is
North Carolina
Inquiries Rising
A 20 percent increase in in
quiries about North Carolina for
the six months of 1961 is an
nounced by Director Hargrove
Bowles, Jr., of the Department]
of Conservation and Develop
ment. |
The total, Bowles said, was
$140,808, up 24,306 over the cor
responding period last year. The
inquiries were generated by
North Carolina’s national adver
tising program which during this
six months’ period appeared in
40 newspapers and 30 magazines.
Returns were bolstered, too,
Bowles states, by new radio, TV
and travel show schedules inau
gurated this year.
Bulk of the inquiries were
about North Carolina’s “Variety
attractions. Trav
el is North Carolina’s third lar
gest industry.

Commander Powell, “we are
planning to have the bulk of our
annual membership drive com
pleted by mid-October. We are
accepting dues payments for
1962 now from those Legion
naires and eligible veterans who
like to be known as early birds.”
Commander Powell pointed out
that the amount of paper stock
in the membership record forms
alone indicated the immense size
of the annual enrollment cam
paign. It requires slightly more
than 21 tons of paper stock and
more than 17 miles of carbon
paper to make up these forms
which are distributed throughout
the nation and around the
world.
The local Legion Commander
issued an invitation to all eligi
ble war veterans to join the
American Legion and be part of
its activities and programs in
the field of Americanism, Child
Welfare, National Security and
Rehabilitation.

SSI REPORTS
KUSg FroB.WASHINGTOM
| Washington After many
weeks of hearings and delibera
, tions, the Senate Committee on
Agriculture and Forestry has
approved a far-reaching farm
bill which would go a long way
toward solving many of our ba
sic farm oroblems.
Those who are acquainted with
our farm problems agree that
the most urgent problems relate
to grains—wheat, corn, and oth
er feed grains. The bill approv
ed by the Senate Committee pro
vides for substantial reductions!
in the acreages of all these
crops, which should materially
reduce our burdensome surplus
es and thereby reduce costs ti
the taxpayers.
I The bill also provides for the
extension of marketing orders
to a sizeable number of com
modities not now covered, and
; it extends for three years the
authorization of foreign sales of
surplus commodities for local
currencies.
Although these are the major
provisions in the bill, there are
many other areas of agriculture
which would receive beneficial
effects under it.
In many respects, the bill fi
nally approved by the Commit
tee did not coincide with the
original requests made by Secre
tary of Agriculture Freeman. I
use the word “original” be
cause many modifications and
changes were made at the Sec
retary’s requests after the Com
mittee began consideration of
the proposals made by the Ad
ministration.
Quite a bit of publicity has
been given to proposals which
would have established a system
of advisory committees which
would work out programs with
out their being approved through
the normal Congressional pro
cesses.
A great deal of opposition
arose to such an approach. I
i think most of the opposition was
based on uncertainty as to what
may happen under such a sys
tem to such programs as our
tobacco, cotton, and peanut pro
grams.
It was agreed that in order
to keep intact and operating as
T. D. Berryman had the mis
fortune to cut his arm Thurs
day of last week. However, he
is doing nicely now.

in the past such programs as
the tobacco, cotton, and peanut
programs, the six basic agricul
tural commodities would be ex
empt from the advisory commit
tee approach. This meant that
those crops making up about 90
per cent of our farm income
would be exempt from advisory
committee action. In view ofj
this it was decided that it would
be unwise at this time to write |
into the permanent law any au
thorization for advisory commit
tees to establish programs in any
manner other than the normal'
legislative process.
All of the members of the
committee worked hard through
numerous meetings in an effort
to get a comprehensive bill ap
proved that would make some 1
constructive contributions to
ward solving our major farm
problems. Now that the com
mittee has completed its work on
the bill, two things stand out
above all else:
1. The omnibus farm bill is
the most far-reaching piece of
farm legislation to be approved
by a committee of the Congress
since World War 11. Marketing
orders for many crops, wheat,
corn and feed grains, Public Law
480 programs, farm credit, co
operatives, and many other areas
of agriculture are covered. I
know of no other bill which has
attempted to cover such a wide
range of progrms. For many
years, the Congress has taken
each commodity and each area
of agriculture, such as farm
credit, and dealt with them in
dividually.
2. The deliberations brought to
a head many differences and bit
ter disagreements that exist
among various farm and com
modity organizations. If it has
not been clear in the past it
should be abundantly clear now
that farmers themselves must
somehow find areas of agree
ment and common ground to
stand on concerning the future
of agriculture. Until they do,
it will be extremely difficult for
the Congress or the Federal gov
ernment to increase farm in
come to the level it should be
in this day and age.
