PAGE EIGHT tfHf SENATOR (•V A LENNON REPORTS V WASHINGTON—The Senate is rapidly getting down to business. £JWt Tuesday we passed the cotton gereage increase bill. The bill, emergency legislation, provides for Jgireasing the 1954 national acreage Slltttinent from 17,910,448 acres % 31.000,000 acres. This legislation, fehUe not perfect, was the best thing mi Could get at this time. It gives ’North Carolina an acreage allot hient of 624,840 instead of 528.63“ aeres Both Senator Hoey and I voted for this. We are hopeful that of the objections to this cotton sill can be worked out in con ference committees between the TSenate and House, r ' THE FARM PROGRAM i President Eisenhower made a > lumber of good recommendations j for agriculture I am glad that he ’ it tacked with vigor the problem of ' noving more of our farm surpluses ; nto world markets. I feel that his , ITOposals for a sliding scale of price ■i lUpports on basic farm products arc kiot in the best interest of agriculture Jiow. The President's recommen dation to continue tobacco price •upports at 90 per cent of parity is jpery good news for North Carolina, at i£ a credit to Tar Heel tobacco farmers because they have set the Srn for other basic crops. We ill proud of that. I will vigor oppose abandonment of 90 per cent of parity on other basic fcrope. such as cotton, corn, peanuts lnd wheat. £ AID TO AGRICULTURE * During the period of transition ■fflaiji a wartime to a peacetime economy, agriculture is entitled to *he same type of consideration ac- Torded industry. I am advised that ibt ' government granted industry Pflttflns of dollars to finance recon version and that industry was also granted additional billions in quick ♦art amortizations. My feeling is that everybody should have the mine break, but that the govern ment shouldn’t try to go too far in feantrolling our economy. * . STOCKPILING I I, Rke the idea of military stock piling a part of our surpluses. Os course, it would be foolish to assume g'stockpiling program would mean that these surpluses would be dis- Mgarded In market fluctuations. uWNjVNMr, in requiring the Defense Department to take title to a portion of our surpluses, we would BfcphKiing the military on agricul ture’s side in stimulating greater consumption of American farm ptCducte. No doubt, more use can be. found far such surpluses in out' armed cervices I , r] WW fl B Mr t 'f W • § Bffli ■ jf MM WORST SNOWSTORM tn seven years hit Philadelphia, traffic thousands were forced to go trudging to their jobs.

WORLD MARKETS My belief is that we should ex plore the idea of selling a portion of our farm products in world markets for so-called soft currencies, the currencies of friendly nations with whom we do business, then using such currencies to pay costs of our armed forces abroad and to pur chase materials not produced ir this country. RESEARCH The President's message just touched the research program. I believe that continued research will eventually bring about a solution to many of our major surplus prob lems. Through expanded research we can transform perishable crops into basic products. Just think what has been done for tobac-’o. the only crop the President would con tinue at SO per cent of parity, by research in the methods of curing and preserving. I will support ef forts to insure continuation and ex pansion of our research program. Our population is rapidly growing, (here are more months to feed,, living standards are being raised around the world, and I feel that the surplus proglem will become less acute before long. We mus think of conserving and preserving the resources necessary to produce more and more food and fiber. THIS-AND-THAT The wheels of seniority turn slow ly in the Senate. But I have made some progress. Last week, I wa; given a promotion from a seat on the District of Columbia Committee 'o the Post Office and Civil Service Committee ... The weather here has been mighty cold and plenty of snow and ice.. .Our Senate seatr have been shuffled a little. I hav' moved to the end seat on the thip row from the front.

President Eisenhower said today he wants Congress to make the Tennessee Valley Author ity pay interest on the fedeiral investment in its power plants. The President's budget did not generating units in TVA. But it 1 Set out the highest spending total in TVA’s history—439 million doi- I lars and called for continued i work on projects already under way. Instead of recommending new | power plants, Eisenhower said ar- j refinements are being made for “other sources” to supply 500,000 kilowatts of the power TVA planned to furnish the Atomic Energy Com mission by the fall of 1957. CUT The cut would leave TVA sup plying 600,006 kilowatts to the AEC which operates the huge Oe.k Ridge, Tenn., atom plant and other installations. Eisenhower, who once called TVA “creeping socialism,” said the switch trill free 500.000 kilo watts of TVA power capacity for industrial, municipal and coopera tive pOttOr consumers, and at the same time will free the govern ment from the need so build more tva generators. Be said the administration will take another look at the question of starting more TVA power units if negotiations do not succeed in The State Department of Motor Vehicles revoked the driving priv ileges of 18,756 Tar Heel motorists in 19SS for various traffic taw in fractions.

PROPOSED CHANGE The proposal to change TVA in terest, he said, is in line with the administration’s power policy of reimbursing the treasury for pro viding funds. He said he asked TVA and other executive agencies to study the question. TVA is paying off the Investment in its power plants but is not now paying inter est. Eisenhower requested $141,800,- 000 in new appropriations for TVA as compared with $188,546,000 vo ted by Congress for the current fiscal year. He would allow $227.- 708,000 to be spent from TVA’s sale of power and fertilizer and $125,- 172,000 from its unspent funds from previous years for a total program of $494,680,000.
