. Rep. Jones Reports From
The week ending August
14; which would begin the
anhhal Congressional recess,
much important legisla
tion acted upon by the House.
First was the constitutional
amendment concerning equal
rights for women. This is a
bill first introduced 45 years
ago and (finally passed on
IMtiday, August 10. It will
J still require legislative ap
proval by three-fourths of the
states before it becomes a
part of the Constitution.
Also, an authorization fori
funds for three years for
hegrt disease, cancer, stroke
and kidney diseases research.
This provides for $125 million
in 1971 and reaches the sunn
of S2OO million in 1973. Still
on the subject of health, an
other authorization for com
prehensive health planning
and services this in the
amount of $335 million for
1971 and $505 million in 1973.
The House passed an am
endment to the lLand and
Water Conservation Fund Act
of 1965 to permit General
Services Administration to :
Time's Up!
Well, almost up, anyway ... There are
only a few short days left.
Soon, you’ll be putting the surfboards
and skis away and finishing up
those Summer jobs. It’ll be time
to dust off the books or get things
packed, ready to move into the old
•' dorm.
; Isn’t it great? Another school year is
on the brink of the beginning!
You’ll exchange Summer happen
ings with old friends, meet new
ones and, before you realize it,
another great Summer will be
there, waiting for you to enjoy it.

terior which, in turn, permits
Interior to make available to
states and local agencies, land
for park and recreation pro
grams.
In an effort to control po
litical campaign expenditures,
the House approved legisla
tion repealing the equal time
provision with respect to
candidates for office of Presi
dent and Vice (President, con
trolling the rate which broad
cast stations may charge leg
ally qualified candidates for
public office, and placing
limits on the amounts which'
may be spent for broadcast
time by candidates for Presi
dent and Vice President and
other major elective offices.
It has been estimated that the
combined political spending
for radio and TV in 1968 was
$58.9 million. This was a 70
per cent increase over 1964,
when it was estimated that
for the same purpose $34.6
million was expended. On
this legislation I voted "no,”
not that I am opposed to lim
its on spending but I question
THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2s, 197$
Washington
the right of Congress to fix
; rates for broadcasters when
i the candidates for Congress
are directly affected.
The big news was the
(President’s veto of the educa
tioh and HUD appropriation
bills. On Thursday, August
13, the House sustained the
President’s veto regarding ap
propriations for HUD and
other related agencies. I vot
ed with the President on this
motion after being assured,
indirectly by the White House,
•that the President would
'recommend the same amount
for the veterans in a later
bill. On the education bill,
along with 289 other mem
bers—which included 77 mem
bers of- the Republican party,
several prominent Republic
ans voted against the Presi
dent on this motion. Among
those Republicans was Con
gressman Albert Watson,
presently a Republican can
didate for Governor of South
Carolina.
Members of Congress are
questioning the sincerity cif
these frequent presidential
vetoes for every President
since George Washington has
had an executive right to
withhold or not spend most
of the monies appropriated
under any bill. Apparently,
the same advisers who sug
gested the veto also recently
asked the Congress to pro
vide from the taxpayers’ dol
lars S2OO million for the mis
managed Lockheed Aircraft
(Corporation and $250 million
for the bankrupt Penn Cen
tral Railroad. Also, the
executive branch, including
the President, is supporting a
supersonic jet transport sys
tem which will ultimately
cost in excess of $5 billion.
This is twice President Nix
on has vetoed an education
bill, yet from a publication
issued during the presidential
campaign, titled “Nixon on
the Issues,” he made the fol
lowing statement: “When we
talk about the cutting of gov
ernment expense—either fed
eral, state or local the one
area we can’t shortchange is
education. When you cut ex
penditures for education,
what you are doing is short
changing the American fu
ture. For our children to
have, a better chance than we
have had, we have to con
stantly spend more.”
So, after a week of long
sessions, the House on Fri
day, August 14, officially re
cessed until September 9.

Tips For The Farmers
By DONALD S. MORRIS
Field Representative
Summer is here and you
farm operators are all ready
in “high gear.” Some of you
will be hiring help this sea
son and you need to know
that a social security report
may be required of you.
Many farm workers fail to
qualify for social security
benefits because farm operat
ors do not report their wages.
All farmers who employ
part - time or full - time em
ployees should keep com
plete records on each person.
•The record should show the
name, social security number,
days worked and the amount
earned.
If a farmer pays an indivi-
mington Terminal, said the
expansion program will great
ly increase the port’s con
tainer handling capability.
He also announced the pur
chase of an AiH-52 Towmotor
fork lift truck which will ex
pedite the handling of 20-
foot shipping containers. The
heavy-duty lift truck, cap
able of lifting and transport
ing 52,000 pounds, was pur
chased from the Gregory
Poole Equipment Company of
Raleigh.
Friederichs said that the
new facilities and the new
equipment “will permit an
dual $l5O or more in a cal
endar year, he must report
the wages. If a worker per
forms some work on any part
of 20 days in a calendar year
on a time basis, those wages
must be reported. These re
ports on farm work are made
in January following the end
of the calendar year in which
this work is done. This re
’port is not optional, but is re
quired by the law.
All farmers who have em
ployees should start keeping
records for the report which
will be due next January.
This will make it easier on
you, and will insure that your
employees will get social se
curity credit for the work
they do.
