Morgan Seeks
More Support
CHARLOTTE Robert
Morgan, Democratic candi
date for attorney general,
has called! upon North Ca
rolina businessmen to sup
port a proposal to create
a Consumer Division in the
office of the attorney gen
eral and to back efforts to
enact effective consumer
protection laws.
Morgan, speaking to
members of the Charlotte
Lions Club, said such ac
tion is necessary to protect
the state’s consumers and
ethical businessmen from
an increasing number of
unscrupulous operators now
being attracted to North
Carolina by what Morgan
described as “weak laws
and a failure to vigorously
enforce those now on the
books.”
“The creation of a Con
sumer Protection Division
alone is not sufficient,” he
said. “We must also have
new legislation.” He said
officials must be able to
act quickly and effectively
to stop fraudulent schemes
and “make it unprofitable
for persons who prey upon
us in the marketplace and
steal profits from this
state's honest business
men."
The Harnett County at
torney cited a need for
legislation permitting the
Attorney General, whom
Morgan refers to as “the
people’s attorney,” to go to
the courts and enjoin the
continuation of fraudulent
schemes. He pointed out
that in many cases the vic
tims of these schemes are
the poor and the uneducat-
ed. “It is most often those
who can least afford it whc 1
fall victim to these sharp
operators,” he said. “It is
too late to come to their j
aid after their money has ;
already been taken.”
j Morgan discussed fraudu
; lent practices now being
j used by several out-of-state j
j operators upon North Caro- !
! lina housewives. He cited j
i deceptive magazine sub- j
|sc ription “deals,” adver- i
tisements designed to re
semble bills and false of
fers to “give away" home
, appliances. “'Offers to give
1 something for nothing,”
said Morgan, “always turn
out to be nothing for some,
thing."

Drivers Alerted
Regarding Slow
Moving Vehicle
RALEIGH—The Depart
ment of Motor Vehicles
called Thursday for addi
tional caution on the part
of motorists and operators
of slow-moving fanning
equipment
“The beginning of fall
does not bring a decrease
in the use of public high
ways by farm equipment,”
said Motor Vehicles Com
missioner Ralph. Howland.
“Indeed, during the harv
est season the traffic of
farm equipment on the
highways increase in many
areas of the state.”
Howland said accident
records show that an aver
age of one person per
month has been killed dur
ing the past 18 months in
collisions between farm
equipment and other ve
hicles. In addition, 284
persons have suffered seri
ous injury during the same
period.
In 246 of the 473 colli
sions during the past 18
months, the commissioner
said, farm equipment was
struck from the rear. “An -
additional 130 collisions
occurred when the farm
equipment was being pass
ed by another faster mov
ing vehicle, and many of
the passing collisions re- ’
suited from the higher
speed vehicle turning out
to pass too late.”

■ Report From Washington
By Rep. Walter B. Jones
During the week ending
September 21, the House
experienced many long
sessions. Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, each ses
sion continued into the
night hours.
It is interesting to stop
and consider the variance
of legislation which Con
gress is asked to vote up
on. On Monday, Septem
ber 16, the House acted on
23 separate bills. In or
der to emphasize the vari
ety, I will list a few of the
titles of these bills: Un
lawful Transporting of
Forged and Fraudulently
Countersigned Travelers’
checks, Reducing the Num
ber of Fish Protein Con
centrate Experimental
Plants, Authorize the Es
tablishment of the Carl
Sandburg Home National
Historic Site, North Caro
lina, To Empower Postal
Inspectors to Serve War
rants and Subpoenas and
to Make Arrests Without
Warrant, to Authorize the
Biscayne National Monu-
Research and Development.

Act of 1964, and to Pro
vide For the Rehabilitation
of the Eklutna Project,
Alaska. This shows the
wide range of legislative
subjects.
Another important vote
of the week was the an
nual consideration and de
bate of the Foreign Aid
appropriations bill. Some
interesting facts regarding
our foreign aid program
were developed. For in
stance, the bill before the
House was only one facet
of foreign aid, as many
items formerly considered
as direct foreign aid have
now been placed under

the jurisdiction of inde
pendent agencies, each car
rying separate budget re
quests. An example is
the Peace Corps, Public
Law 480, Military Assist
ance, Inter-American High,
way and Foreign Military
Sales Fund and others, to
taling 21 separate items,
yet all of which either di
rectly or indirectly must be
considered foreign aid. The
total of these 21 budget re
quests amounts to $lO,-
847,940,000 in addition to
the bill passed by the
House last week. The ad
ministration had originally
requested $2.9 billion for
this program, but the bill
as passed by the House cut
this to $1.6 billion. Even
with this sharply reduced
figure, I did not feel I
could support this, there
fore, on final passage I
voted no.
There continues to be
speculation as to what the
Senate will do regarding
the nomination of Justice
Fortas as Chief Justice.
Based on the information
I have, it appears unlike
ly that tne Senate will
take any ac ion during this
session of Congress. Con
tingent upon the Senate
action on Fortas, it now
appears that the 90th Con
gress might adjourn be
tween the 10th and 15th of
October.
