Rep. Jones Complains To HEW Chief
Due to Lincoln’s Birthday,
Congress was only in session
half a week. This was due
to the annual custom of per*
mitting the Republican mem
bers of Congress to return
borne and make Lincoln Day
speeches.
The most distressing news
to come to my attention re
cently was the action of HEW
in attempting to investigate
and harrass the universities
and colleges in the state of
North Carolina as to their de
segregation policies. It is gen
erally conceded that the high
er educational system in
North Carolina cannot be
held guilty of discriminatory
practices. Unlike the second
ary schools, there is no arbi
trary board to assign college
students; all of them are in
the college of their choice if
scholastically qualified. In a
protest which I hope will have
some result, 1 wrote Secre
tary Finch of HEW the fol
lowing letter:
The Hon. Robert H. Finch
Secretary
V. S. Dept, of Health,
Education and Welfare
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Secretary:
I am amazed to learn that
members of your staff are
currently investigating East
Carolina University in Green
ville, North Carolina and the
University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill, regarding their
desegregation policies. As a
former Trustee of UNC and a
close and avid supporter of.
ECU, I am positive that neith
er institution has knowingly
permitted discriminatory prac-
Draft Questions
And Answers
Q. Suppose I transfer for
induction and the board I
transfer to orders me to re
port in January, 1970?
A, Your case is just like
that of a postponed registrant.
You will be expected to re
port for induction as ordered
by the transfer board.
Q. I am registered with a
local board in North Caro
lina. Will my local board
send me a notification of my
random sequence number?
A. No. You can deter
mine your random sequence
number from charts publish
ed in the newspapers and
posted in local board offices.
Q. What effect does the
random selection method have
on deferments?
A. Local board deferment
policies are not affected by
the random sequence method
of selecting registrants for
induction.
Q. Has the random selec
tion system caused any
changes to be made in classi
fication regulations, policies
and procedures?
A. No.
Q. I am 19 years old and
in I-A. If I stay in I-A all
of 1970 and my random se
quence number is not reached
during 1970, how will it affect
me?
A. Whether you are in I-A
or in some deferred classifi
cation, if your number is not
reached you will be placed
in a lower priority category.
Q. I have just been placed
in Class I-A, but will be 26
years of age in March,
1970. If I request personal
appearance and appeal, will
I still be subject to induction
if I reach age 26 before my
appeal is settled?
A. Yes, if your random se
quence number is reached
before you become 26 years
of age. No, if your random
sequence number is not reach
ed prior to your 26th birth
day.
Q. I have a 11-A classifi
cation which terminates in
August, 1970. I will be 26
years of age in May, 1970.
What happens to me when
my occupational deferment
terminates?
A. You will be placed in a
lower category whether or
not your number is reached,
and you would be called only
If policy changed.
PRESENTED AWARD
OAHU, Hawaii Marine
Cpl. Jerry W. Jordan, son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Jordan,
Route 2, Edenton, N. C M was
presented the Meritorious
Mast Award in ceremonies
with the Marine Fighter At
tack Squadron-212, Kaneohe
Marine Corps Air Station,
Oahu, Hawaii, for demon
strating outstanding profes
sional competence and devo
tion to duty in the perform
ance of his assigned task.
Differences of opinion *re
the stimuli that lead to hon
est conclusions if anybody
wants to bo intellectually
honest.
The man who makes use of
his spare time usually flndr
that he has lots of K.
tees to exist. I respectfully
ask that you stop the harrass
ment and interference by your
staff so that the educational
processes may continue in an
orderly fashion. Certainly,
HEW ties done enough to de
stroy the secondary schools of
the south. Even in the Con
gressional District which I
have the honor of represent
ing, out of some 20 school
units, 7 have been forced into
the Federal Courts thereby
eliminating all local control,
and more importantly, local
support. In addition, the re
maining have been forced to
meet demands from Idealists
representing HEW with little
knowledge of or concern for
local conditions.
I hope that President Nix
on, you, and others charged
with administrative policy
will reconsider the disruption
of our southern colleges and
universities, and let’s get on
with the job of emphasis on
education for the ultimate
benefit of all races.
Sincerely,
Walter B. Jones, M. C.
On Tuesday, February 10,
several Members of the (Demo

to put in the Congressional
Record, statements regarding
proposed farm legislation. My
remarks were as follows:
“I want to associate my
self with the other Members
of the House who are stress

m CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY M, IfN.
come a Member of this great
body. In this short period of
time, this nation has become
the victim of almost unpre
cedented spiraling inflation
and practically every segment
of our economy has partici
pated, through wage and
price increases, except the
American farmer. It is ironi
cal that in this day of infla
tion, the Amcrcan fanner is
today receiving less of the
consumer’s dollar than he did
20 years ago while his cost
of production has increased
several times. This in itself,
emphatically demonstrates the
need for improved farm legis
lation. It is no wonder that
we find a rapidly decreasing
farm population, almost to the
extent of being a national ca
tastrophe. Many of you are
concerned with an increased
Food Stamp Program and,
certainly, this is no criticism
of food stamps but, >1 think
it in order to remind you that
if our farmers cannot survive
economically, then, heaven
forbid, we will become a
‘have-not” nation as it relates
to the production of agricul
tural commodities. And, what
may I ask, would be the
value of food stamps, if, in
deed, there was no food dor
which to redeem them? And
so, those who are concerned
with the overall economy and
well-being of this nation
should look sympathetically at
the plight of the farmer and
join with those of us who are
attempting to bring forth leg
islation which might solve this
acute problem.”

School News
The Chowan High School
teams seem to have the beat,
but somebody up there hates
us. Chowan walked into a
game Tuesday night with but
one object and that was to
win. The girls seemed to ful
fill their goal with a victori
ous score of 41-40 over Cam
den’s girls. The winning
bucket was a last seconder by
Lottie Baker.
The boys seemed to be with
it, but the ball seemed against
us. ‘‘lt just wouldn’t go. We
lost this one 74-67.
On Wednesday, February
11, we were guests at Cres
well. The girls seemed to
have a good thing going for
themselves. I wish they
would let the boys in on it.
The Bulldogettes won their
game 25-23.
The boys lost by a score
of 55-83.
There has been a lot of
hush-hush about all those
Junior meetings. It is about
time for the Jr.-Sr. The
Juniors have picked their
theme which is a secret and
have gotten their committees
organized.
As usual, the Seniors are
trying to guess the theme
and as usual the Juniors are
too smart for them.
