Senator Sam
Ervin Says:
% WASHINGTON —Jn recent
with each new dis
covery about federal data
Ipanks and their collection,
•Storage use of informa
tion about citizens, public
Concern has grown about the
iserious questions of indivi
‘•(dual privacy and constitu
tional rights.
f The Constitutional Eights
of which I am
.chahman, has received count
less letters from interested
all over the country
.urging that the subcommittee
Schedule hearings to consider
Jhe impact of these data pro
grams upon individual rights.
f In early September, the
Subcommittee scheduled a
\new series of hearings on this
.subject for early October, but
yt soon became apparent that
<the pressures for action by
/Congress on end-as-the-term
■legislation required post
ponement of these hearings.
the present time, it is an
ticipated that these data
f bank hearings will be held in
! ,late February.
\ The purpose of the hear
ings is fourfold: First, to
/learn what government date
panics have been developed;
jfecond, how far they are al
ready computerized or auto
mated; third, what constitu
tional rights, if any, are af
fected by them; and, forth,
what overall legislative con
sols, if any. are required.
X Recordkeeping is as old as
Recorded history, and there is
jjothing new in the fact that
governments and societies en.
Ege in surveillance, black
ting, and subtle reprisal for
{inpopular political or social
/iews. Men have always
Jjad to contend with the mem
pries of other men. In this
dbuntry, however, we are
Blessed with a Constitution
jfrhich undertakes to secure
tp all citizens certain rights
of privacy, and this applies
p the arbitrary use of record
keeping and information
Itower of government against
the individual.
In spite of these guaran
tees, the advance of technol
<sgy has been quietly, but
steadily, endowing officials
tyith the power which ac
companies computers and
date banks and scientific
techniques of managing in
formation. The computer has
now given the government
tje power to take note c.f
tything, fcrjhether <t be right
wron at relpvaSft, to any
rpose or not, and to re
tain it forever. It is unfor
tunate, but true, that this
revolution is coming about
under outdated laws and
executive orders governing
tlje recordkeeping and the
concepts of privacy which
aite relevant to another era.
.Consider these facts: The
Civil Service Commission
maintains a “security file” of
Wore than two million cards
in electrically powered ro
tary cabinets. Its larger “se
cOrity investigations index”
chains more than 10 million
egrds relating to personnel
investigations made by the
commission and other agen
cies. The Department of the
Atmy and other military de
partments have stored vast
amounts of personal data on
individuals which is said to
be relevant to possible civil
disturbances and subversion.
The Secret Service has cre
ated its computerized data
bank to protect high govern
ment officials from harm and
to protect federal buildings
fobtn possible damage. The
Bureau of Customs has in
stalled its control data pro
casing intelligence network
which contains records about
suspects entering the United
States.
No one would deny that the
government of such a popu
lous and complex society
should not avail itself of the
efiiciency offered by com
puters and scientific data
management techniques. Gov
e&snental agencies must, as
Congress has charged them,
acquire, store and process
tale information
it' obtains from citizens for
ataninistrative purposes to
dqal with a mobile society
arid the misdeeds of indivi
duals who resort to violence
and who violate the law.
All of this is to simply say
that we must update our
laws to keep in balance the I
need for information and the
use to which it is put Ibis
is the area of concern as the
siijcommittee seeks to exam
ine data bank surveillance.
(The nation* being in effect!
a licensed predatory concern,
is*jM bound by the decencies
of that code of law and
morals that governs private

Family Planning Questions-Answers By O. J. Sikes,lll
Q. flow much does it cost
to raise a child to age 16?
A. The cost varies with
the region of the country,
but the average 18-year-‘old

rcughly $30,000, not counting
the costs of special school
ing,’ expensive slimmer camps
or college.
A new baby costs roughly
SSOO before it comes home

teenager, the costs of his
“necessities” total over SI,OOO
per year.
Os the total cost to age 16,
some 40 per cent is spent on
food and clothes and 30 per
cent on housing.
These estimated costs of
living come from a recent
study conducted by the In
stitute of Life Insurance in
New York.
In our area, the South,
costs arc about the same for
farm, rural non-farm and ur
ban children.
Being able to provide ade
quate care for your children
THE CHOWAN HERALD
is a vital part of being a re
sponsible parent, and some
thing every couple should
consider before planning a
pregnancy.
Couples would be well ad
vised to figure out how many
children they can afford on
this minimum cost scale, and
then think about the extra
things they would like to
provide for their children
such as a college or technical
education, summer CEunps,
medical or dental emergen
cies, an oc9asional party
dress, etc.
For most people in any in
come bracket, planning a
small family will mean that
you will be able to provide
more for your family. It
will allow you to give your
husband or wife and children
more of your time and atten
tion which are important to
a strong family life.
For further information or
appointment, call your private
physician, local health depart
ment or local EIC office.
A man is known by his
conduct to his wife, to his
family and to those under
him.
