Thursday, May 23 1963 (E ght Pages Today) 94th Year ? Number 26 Senator j Sam | Says i ?Washington - Congressional committees considered a rmrt t it tide of problems lust. week. A typical Congressional day found eleven Senate committees and twenty-five House commit tees in session. Transportation, TFX warplane contract, consti tutional porcedures dealing with mental health, and the budget were matters before Senate committees. House committers considered agriculture, appro priations, military construc tion, education, foreign .i^sis tance, *ik2 tav programs. Other Hojse committees held hear ings on the Federal Highway Program, Space Program, fourth class mail, and crime in the District of Columbia. Hearings before the Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights, of which I am chairman, on revision of civil procedures to deal with mental illness have demonstrated the need forsuch legislation to keep ^ proper balance In mental health treat ment on the one hand and ade quate protection for the indivi dual's rights on the other. One of the session's difficult problems concerns "how to pay for Federal governmental ser vices." Eighteen years ago when peace came after six years of war there was a feeling that as a victorious nation we might J find our financial and other problems easier to solve. But It has not worked out that way. In fact we have found that In spending billions of dollars to | maintain the peace, and in mov ing Into an ear of space and science, we are sweeping some serious Federal financial pro blems under the rug. There are many factors in volved in the problem. The role of Federal government and the responsibilities of Federal, state and local governments for particular services are pro blems enhedded in the question of "how to balance the budget?V__ I think, however, that any list of factors bearing on the pro blem might include these; First, it has become virtually Impossible to weed out Federal governmental programs after they ought to be discontinued or curtailed. THe beneficiaries of a Federal program soon come to the conclusion that they have a vested Interest in the pro gram and that Congress has no right to take it away. Changes In the economy are not, there fore, easily translated into discontinuing Federal pro grams. Second, Congress Is con stantly asked by Individuals, or ganizations, communities, and states, to enact a vast number of new and expensive programs at each session. Usually the need for each program Is ably, stated. But many of the new programs are financed by bor rowed Federal funds rather than , f by revenues. I Third, U.S. foreign aid pro grams under which we have granted to other nations every conceivable type of assistance make It difficult for Congress lo turn a deaf ear to Americans who need aid Just as badly. Fourth, It must be said that Congress has allowed the nation to accept services for which tt . Is unwilling to levy taxes. For these reasons this Con gress finds It extremely dif ficult to balance a Federal bud get, which Is oecomlng mrf' and more unbalanced each flsc? year, Budget Cuts Washington - The Republicans according to a report, have taken credit for several cuts In the budget. They cover $420,000,000 In the foreign aid program, $150,000,000 In the Treasury post office appropri ation bill, $92,000,000 from In terior Department fund, $203 000,000 for a supplemental ap propriation bill and $309,500, 000 from the Welfare Depart ment. , ' Chairman Cannon (D., Mo.) ? of the House Appropriations ( Committee reports, however, l that the annual foreign aid money bill has not been con- a sldered by Congress and that a the President himself reduced c foreign aid, $420, 000, 000.

There were no casulltles. The small, but destructive funnel, dipped down from the clouds in advance of a se vere thunderstorm to first hit in an orchard about 200 yards northwest of the Rocky Ford Grocery, operated by Morton Lasslter and Singleton pace, uprooting apple trees and strip ping the tops from dog and chicken houses. Next, the funnel shaped cloud, that one woman described as looking like smoke from a house on fire, skipped across the road in a southeasterly direc tion carrying parts of the trees and metal shed roofs and set down in front of a small negro graded school where it scatter ed two outdoor privies across the countryside, leaving the now abandoned school building untouched. The next visible sign of da mage was some additional hundred yards away at the Don ald Mitchell place where a sta ble was unroofed and one of a row of othar outbuildings was lifted from Its foundation and utterly demolished. Thence the funnel skipped across to the J.B. Alston farm where it unroofed a tobacco barn before disappearing into the clouds for good. All of the damage appeared in a narrow . path about a half a mile long< Elsewhere about the county there were reports of scatter ed hall, but only in a few Iso lated incidents was damage re ported. Some hail was observed here in Louisburg as 1.66- in ches of rain was recorded. ? . .

County Gives Tenative Ok To School Tax Increase The Franklin County .Com missioners have tentatively granted a request of the County Board of Education for a seven cent increase in Capital Out lay levy for the coming, fiscal year. The action came yester Jay as the Commissioners met to study the proposed new bud jet. The Board had requested ten cents. The request was made so that he Board could formulate plans :o build additional classrooms it Riverside School in Louis nirg in anticipation of consoll iatlng Cedar Street School and ?sslbly Mapleville at River side for the 1964 school term. The Board has stated that a teed exists for a cafeteria and iddltlonal classrooms at the Riverside School and the re [uest for additional funds will ?nable the Board -of Education o make long range plans for hese needs. ? ^ The increase of seven cents o the Current forty-five cent New Fire Pumper Tested segrave Engineer John L.

The major portion of the forty-five cent levy will go toward the completion of the Bunn cafe teria, now under construction and the building of a cafeteria at Gold Sand, which was approv ed several years ago. The capital outlay fund for the next fiscal year beginning in July of 1964 will inable the Board of Education to meet the most pressing needs at River side School and follows a long standing plan of rpta^pg the building of new buildings throughout the county system, based on immediate needs, While the Budget has not been officially approved and the new levy Is at present, only tenta tive and subject to change, It Is lielieved satisfactory to the Board of Education. One Board member, speaking unofficially, Stated that the Commissioners were to be congratulated for their action. That it showed their concern as well as that of the Board of Education for ( the welfare and needs of the < children of the county. It is generally agreed, that the new | increase Is to be temporary, t The action does not bind the County Board of Education to ? any specific building program, but barring some emergency, it ; is expected that the funds Will j be used In the Louisburg dis- s trict to Improve facilities for \ the Negro students. 153 Sought For Unclaimed Pensions : p Many residents of Franklin County who are entitled to pjd age pensions are not getting them because they have not made application for them. That is indicated by an exam ination of social Security flle^, which has been undertaken on a national basis to discover and locate such individuals. It had been supposed that everyone who, had been making regular payments to the" Old age and Survivors Insurance fund would apply for benefits the minute he qualified for them. But it hasn't \*orked out that wayi The Government^ after be :onring aware that the situation *ras a wide-spread One, went to Its electronic computers to find out just how many people 1 were involved. * The machines turned up the 1 lames of more than 1,000,000 1 nsured .persons in the United \ States, all over the age of 65, 1 vho had filed no claims. I In Franklin County, on .the >asls of the general findings, i t appears that there are an 1 ?stlmated 153 local residents J vho could be receiving OASI hecks each month and are not. 1 These payments would range 1 rom a minimum of $40 a month ! to more than $250, which Is the maximum that the family of a v retired or deceased worker can ^ get. c On the average the amount being paid in old-age benefits, according to the current figure, I i's $76.18 per month. 1 For the 153 in Franklin Coun ty who are not collecting, thfrs Q would . ^d up to $11,656 a ^ month, of $139,840 a year. t Social Security officials have ^ made studies to determine why c so many eligible people are missing out on their benefits. ^ They found that a large pro portion of them who have con- c tinned working beyond 65 do ^ not -realize that changes in the regulations permit them to col lect all or part of their benefits, even while working. Others have failed to note I that reductions have been made I In the amount of coverage need ed to qualify. As a result, some who were turned do\yn C In the past are now eligible, c A thUgl group has the mis- K aken nolloft that a person has ? :o be In need in order to get tl Social Security. t< Many of these qualified people lave already been located and tl idvised of their rights. The * search for the others continues. P County Votes Yes, Nation Votes No The- Kennedy Administrations new wheat control plan ap parently was defeated In Tues day's nationwide farmer re ferendum.
