This policy has resulted in our vith foreign labor of illegal entry 1 s, at a time when Americatn citi- ' The Cherokee Scout, Murphy, North C zens need jobs, an need jobs. now. Unlike other countries of the world, we have failed to dopt a rigid and wise policy of first consideration for ur own citizens. We have played the "rich uncle." Wc have even glorified foreign gangsters. We have winked ::c the havoc wrought by alien criminals. This evenng I address myself to one important phase of our unemployment problem that of aliens on relief rolls. I do so because it is high time to call a halt to the feeding, housing and clothing of those whom the nation owes no re sponsibility whatsoever. Uncle Sam should "Feed Americans First"'. This will be done when an aroused citizenry know the facts and demands such-action of their Congress. \\ hat are the facts? Since 1932, the Federal Government has spent as high as two and a quarter billion dollars a year in providing relief activities to assist those in lire need. There is general agreement that those exenditures should go to Americans first. Yet. no legisla ion has been enacted which would assure that this be ione. As a result, aliens of all kinds and descriptions, -fed and bad, have enjo>ed higher standards of l,v,n2 in American relief than they would ordinari.y enjoy in :ountries from whence they come. Abuses of relief benefits, by many aliens, have been cost fragrant. Relief checks have been sent to foreign ountries to relatives there, instead of spending thess \mcrican dollars with locai merchants. Recently I read .here Mexicans on relief in this country took their money icross the border, had it changed into cheaper Mexican noney, and bought food to be brought back and sold to heir friends in the United States. Federal officials have ndeavored to keep down abuses of relief expenditures, iut it has been a tremendous task. They tackled their ork without sufficient legislative authority which would imit benefits to American citizens. They should have been '.rated wth legislative power to Feed Americans First- it not too late to grant this power now. There arc (1,000,000 non-citizens?aliens?living indited States'according to the estimate of the last census. nhose aliens are constantly competing with our own Amercan ciizer.s for employment. At the depth of the depression, it is estimated, there were bout four million aliens at vork in this country. Ths number drew pay checks every ear in excess of $1,000 each. Many of these American 'ollars were forwarded to relatives in foreign lands, intend of beir.g spent with local merchants, here. At that .cry time between 15,000,000 and 20,000.000 people were nemployed in America. Through our carelessness, no one knows how many million aliens there are in the United Stats who cannot or will not become American citizens. The last census estimatd the figure at abovc 6,000.000- Some of these peopi would make good citizen Unknown thousands with criminal records would only become citizens to stave off ieportation, and these I say. should be sent back from whence they came. Let me be inoie specific. Last June, the House of Representatives passed the Dies Bill and it is now pendintr ill the? Sonnto tk;h *.oi * ~ x ...a u.ii is a virtual pardon for all past :rimes committed by alien criminals. It would keep on American relief rolls hundreds of thousands of undesirable aliens who have found in America the sofest spot on ?arth for them. No wonder the fair-minded people of the ror\d look upon our immigration laws and their enforcement as a huge joke. What we should do is suspend all immigration for at least a year. When the Diees bill was passed in the House, an able member of that body declared it the "most ill-advised and il-considered bill" that was passed during that session of Congress. It has been universally condemned by virtually every patriotic society in America. It would take con:rol of our immigration policies out of the hands of your epresentatives in Congress and place it in the hands of ha Cn/I.n fo i?y T ?h/\y If "rC"Ivi TCpluCC d >f law by discretionary power in the hands of political appointees. Let me repeat that I am going to fight to the imit of my ability and power to defeat ehe inquitious Dies bill and with your help I will be successful. The Reynolds-Starnes bills provide a sound immigraion and deportation policy. They would close our border ?ates until we can find jobs for our American citizens. They would halt the influx of undesirable aliens. They would make deportation of habitual alien criminals compulsory or mandatory. They would leave no loopholesThese bills would keep immigration laws and immigration olicies in the hands of Congress where they belong. These pills would protect American labor and make it unnecesinro * dwoa 10 compete with foreigners for jobs. These bills would provide for alien registration and remove the alien criminal population, and finally these bills soul expel thousands of aien spies and enemies in this country today, who bore from within. The choice is with America. Congress sets only as our country speaks. With millions of jobless tramping '.he streets inn search of work, it is no time for wasted sympathy on aliens to whom we owe no responsibility, lot us guard, protect and preserve our own citizens. Let js feed Americans first and let us provide jobs for Arneri a-is first. Brolim NEWS PICK-UPS By Sam Carr Two hot stories have come to thes< burning ears of ours (featuring i dazzling red-light rhumba on the lefl auricle which never goes out, during the past few weeks that are wel worth recounting. The first is told by Peyton G. Ivie local undertaker and furniture dealer (the irony of it all), and vies wit) some of those gargantuan freak ani raal stories that so often vibrate fron the pen of Tom Arnold and his famous north Georgian weekly at Canton Well, this time it seems that some man over in Georgia where Peytor used to live had a pack of hungrj doirs. Rabbits were so plentiful tha you used to have to scrape iiieiu oul of your bed before y?u got in. and you just couldn't keep them out oi | your dinner plate. So this man used to pitch rabbits 1 tc his dogs which he kept tied up ir , a pen wher the rabbits couldn't get 1 to them. He always kept his dog! ! good and hungry so they gobbled uf the bunnies in one big slup. One day this man's friend came along and decided to have some fur with one of the -nan's best dogs. S< he hunted up a cat, wrapped it up ir rabbits fur, and pitched it over t6 th< dog. With the result that the do* kicked th<, bucket just as prettily anc just as squarely as you can imagine And the funny part about thii story is, it's trueThe second comes form Andrews jovial mayor P- M. Reagan, who i: ;?lso a justice of the peace am* quite often has to put the boys in the dam per to cool them off?overnight. He relates that one time a man whe had imbibed a little too much while driving his car testified as follows: "Your honor I admit I took a drinl or two. I took one snort and pullec over to let a car pass. A littie while later I took another snort and pullec over to let another car pass. I repeat ed that performance several times and finally I took the last drink oul of the jar?and pulled over to let tha c onfounded bridge past". -? They tell me Qeorge Phillips and i few more of the boys around towr have taken the Keeley cure. Yoi know, thc poolroom kind. And the other day a new twist wai put to that old parlor joke.

In representing an article recentij on the establishment of a new com munity in the Tellico section of Cherokee county, it was stated that the Tennessee river formed the boundary between Cheroke county and Tonnesse. Naturally this was an oversighl in copying notes, and the statemeni brought forth the following comment from Mr. Allen Lovingood, Murphj postman: Editor Cherokee Scout: Your article in this week's Scout entitled "New Community is established in Tellico area" makes interesting reading, so interesting in fact that I have re-read it- 1 , -- abiciai times, and no matter how I look at it, I am unable to locate this "new community." I know you have tried to tell your readers exactly where this place may be found, but either you or I do net know our geography. You state: "this community rests peacefully in the Tellico mountain area of Cherokee county on the Tennessee river'which divides North Carolina and Tennessee." It is impossible that this community could be on the Tennessee river and he in Cherokee county. If it IS in Cherokee county, it is a long way from the Tennessee river. Cherokee county does not, at any point touch the Tennessee river. I have tried to figure it out that "this community rests peacefully" in Cherokee county on the Tellico river, "1 MIJKPHV Library Notes Hours; 2:00?5:00 P- M. Daily.
