TO THE PEOPLE
'WASHINGTON—Spring has real
lycome. to Washington—as well as
a lull work load for the Senate.
One day last week, a Raleigh
man walked into our office at 5
p. m. I think he was a little sur
prised to find us all hard at work.
If he had come by at 7:30 that
evening he might have been even
more surprised, for we were still at
it.
And I don’t contemplate a chance
to relax any time soon. Last week
I was named chairman of another
Senate committee which I con
sider to be quite important. Nat
urally I was honored to have been
selected, but, at the same time. I
am mindful of the responsibility
which has been placed with me.
You may remember that in this
colfiron a week ago, I mentioned
President Truman's seizure of the
stoel milfs. Last Wednesday, 16
Senafofs introduced a resolution
calling for a study to determine
what authority, ‘ if any, the Presi-'
dent had to seize the private prop

COMMITTEE NAMED
A seven-man subcommittee was
appointed, w ith me as chairman..
to study this matter. Last Tlntrs- I
day, I called a meeting of the sub
committee and we set forth the
rules under which the committee
would ' operate. Then we wired
President Truman, the Attorney
General, the Secretary of Com
! merce. the CIO, the steel industry
land other interested parties, iii
| viting them to appear before the
committee.
Now here's the point. Our com- |
mittee will not attempt to decide
! who’s right and who’s wrong in j
i the labor dispute. What we want |
| to determine is whether President j
j Truman violated the law l or the
i Constitution in seizing the steel
(plants. We will not permit any tes-
I timony other than that based on
I the law and the Constitution,
j Most of all. we will not permit
! any individual, on either side, to
I get up and make a long speech
j for or against the labor unions, or
for or against the steel industry.
30-MINUTE LIMIT
Each person to testify will be
limited to 30 minutes. He must stick
to the law and the Constitution,
and he must not attempt to wan
der off into a political speech. I
certainly don’t have time to listen
to any political speeches, and I
don’t intend to tolerate them.
If the President can find au
thority to back up his action, then
he will have this opportunity to
point it out. If not. we will be
able to determine that.
OTHER DUTIES
When I was notified of this new
assignment I was in the midst of
organizing another investigating
I committee, of which I had been
named chairman some weeks ago.
This other committee was estab
lished to look into the operation
I of the Office of the Alien Prop
erty custodian. As you know, our
government seized considerable
property during the last war owned

by citizens of countries with which
we were at war. This property is
being disposed of and the money
is being used to pay some of our
war expenses.
Some charges have been made
of irregularity in the disposal of
that property—of "big deals” being
pulled which allegedly made certain
people wealthy.
That is what we are to look into
—to see if there's anything to the
charge.
MANY VISITORS
Thanks to conventions of the
DAR and the newspaper editors in
Washington, I was able to see a
great many folks from North Caro
lina last week. Also, we had a
number of school groups to come
by the office.
There's at least one nice thing
I about Washington: A large num
ber of conventions are held here.
Any any time you have a conven
tion of more than two people, you’ll
always find a Tar Heel.
DICK RUSSELL
The announcement last week by
Governor Stevenson of Illinois that
he would not be a candidate for
President will. I think, result in
more support for Senator Russell
j of Georgia.
I I am becoming more encouraged
| all the time about Senator Russell's
j chances. To my thinking he is
by far the best qualified man in
| the race for the Democratic nomi-
I nation and I hope that we will have
.) an opportunity to vote for him on
i the Democratic ticket this fall.
That will depend, of course, on
what happens in July at the con
vention at Chicago.
Two Break-lins
Reported Here
One break-in in which some
thing was stolen and another in
which something was left by the
intruder, were reported over the
week-end to the Dunn Police De
partment.
At Henry’s Body Shop a burglar
broke a back window, rifled the
coca-cola machine and pried open
the cash register. Some change was
1 taken from the machine but the
cash register contained nothing.
At White's Studio, the owner.
Louis White, heard the door close
and went to investigate. He found
a ladies’ green pocketbook. dropped
near the door, and turned it over
to police.
Traveling salesmen were involved
in the least number of fatal traf
fic accidents than any other class
of drivers in North Carolina last
year.

A study of turkey flocks in An
son and Union counties illustrates
the importance of flock size. Small
flock owners with less than 500
birds made an average profit of
only 14 cents per bird raised in
1947. Producers with more than
1,000 birds averaged 67 cents on
each bird raised. vtF
More than 60 per cent of North
Carolina’s land area is in .farms.
