It was admitted j that all was not well within the council, ; but what could be of even more serious | concern was the crime report in the Illi nois city. Coming from all over the world, the re ligion leaders must have been baffled when they read about one homicide after another and how hoodlums and politicians conniv ed to advance the political life in the big city. What must the religious leaders from the far-away places think when they journey thousands of miles to attend a council and find themselves in the center of ^rirne and corruption? Chicago has no monopoly on crime. Right here in Martin County crime asserts itself once or more each week in the juke joints in some of Us most miserable forms. A country stepped in crime and corrup tion cannot expect to lay claim to leader ship for the world. 1 (imlemptible Falsehood William F Knowland. the brazen sena tor from California, said, in reviewing the record of the 83rd Congress: "In policy and action the 83rd Congress and the Eisenhower administration fully recognized the impor tance of farmers and farming to the nation al welfare " The claim is a contemptible falsehood. Mr. Knowland and the other Republican braggarts did not say a word about the two billion-dollar drop in farm income last year, including about an $80 million drop right here in North Carolina. Knowland had the gall to claim that the administration had stabilized cattle prices. The record made by the 83rd “Give-away” Congress was bad enough, but the comment the Republican leaders are offering smells to high heaven. The next question is: Will the American people be so gullible as to be lieve it and go on and support that crowd in Washington next November'.’ I e rill el (hi a Speelaele News and Observer Though Democrats condemned McCarthy and Republicans defended him. it seems prettv clear from all the decisions rendered in the Army-McCarthv feud case that neither the Republican Senator nor the Re publican Secretary of the Army nor the as sistants of either reflected any credit on life and government in the United States. Senator Potter, Republican of Michigan, in his separate opinion reached the reason able conclusion that for the sake of his friend Schine. McCarthy’s aide Cohn, went after the Armv to “the point of harassment” and did so with McCarthy's approval He reached the equally sensible conclusion that rmz:.: & $ *-jafftir sjw.vtitfu** showed a "lack ol comprehension in this matter which at times suggested belwider ment.” That would seem to be a very mild word for Stevens’ fumbling throughout the case. The verdicts of all the Senators, Demo cratic and Republican, cast little more light on this disgraceful spectacle. The verdict actually was rendered long ago when the American people watched the agile, brutal McCarthy and the weak, inept Secretary of the Army on TV. What was shown then and what is important now was a picture of legislative and administrative behavior under the party in power. The chief charac ters remain and there is no reason to pre sume that the picture has changed. Have patience. All things are difficult before they become_£asy.—Saadi. Tavosirig Mono/mly Senator Warren G. Magnuson of Wash ington charges that the Republican adminis tration has sold the Pacific North .vest dovert the river Well, the Pacific Northwest is not the only region that has been sold down the -:ver bv th“ present admin >.sti ',ti,,r . •> farmer in all sections nas been turned out to graze, and the masses are being advised to tighten their belts while the privileged few wax fat on the suffering and misery of the many. Senator Magnuson points out that the Eisenhower-McKay power policies have chased a $21-million pay roll into Canada and headed off jobs for about 4.000 workeis. The country is losing a 200,000-ton capacity aluminum potential. It is apparent ‘hat the Eisenhowers and McKays are more interested in maintain ing the status quo for the major aluminum companies than they are in advancing free enterprise and providing jobs for Americans They shout about free enterprise but work to advance and support monopoly and high costs. Oli. For The i.ootl Old Mini. Coal Days Reporting to his constituents on the 83rd Congress. Representative A. L. Miller of Nebraska said there is “truly a new atmos phere in Washington—a Christian Atmos phere." Well, it is admitted that there is a new atmosphere in Washington, one that makes the taxpayers wish for a return of the good old mink coat and deep freezer davs. In stead of peddling mink coats and deep freezers, the present admanistration gives away outright oil fields worth billions of dollars. It sanctions non-competitive bids on projects costing the taxpayers many mil lions of dollars. The $12 billion atomic energy deal was not cleared in its entiietv, but cash contributors to the administration s 19.V2 campaign have been well repaid not with mink coats and freezers but with mil lions and billions of dollars and at the ex pense of the taxpayers. The atmosphere has changed in Washing ton all right, changed from one of low pres sure to high pressure. Irooil hliai Not knowing all the background or un covered facts, the sticker. “Vote Straight* Republican’’ may have been placed on Dr. David A Young's cai in Maine as a joke. The doctor sports a low North Carolina li cense tag, and is expected to hold a place reasonably high in Democratic Party poli tics. Aside from Dr. Young, the sticker idea j is a good one, and should be supported by law Although he went to Congress via the Democratic route. Senator Sam Ervin dur ing his short stay there has voted almost “straight Republican.” It would seem that a Republican sticker would wear well on his automobile. And there are others elect ed on the Democratic ticket who would well sport the stickers. We do not know how cheap the seeds ol happiness are or we would scatter them ! oftencr. Dickens. 60 Second Sermons By Fred Dodge text "You cannot step twice into the same stream.’’—Euripedes. Little Bessie sat on he grandfather's knee. Lookini at him closely, she asked. “Grandpa, were you in tin Ark?” “Certainly not. my dear!” answered tin surprised old man. “Then,” the little girl asked, "why weren’ you drowned?" * * * To vouth. all older generations are ancient same stream. Even as they step in. nev waters flow on. It is a shock the first time a young mat offers us his seat in a crowded bus. it is : greater shock in business, when a youtl whizzes by us and takes a higher job. Tragic is the man who cannot release thi torch to younger hands He sulks or desper atelv attempts a pace which is too swift wavers from weakness, stumbles and falls Youth easily leaps over him and races on. The wise man expects this day. He ust' his knowledge to light the path; makes cer tain the way is straight, firm and that th goal is true. He sets standards to kee] eager runners from short-cutting principle for selfish gain. There is no thought o kuitting or sulking. He skillfully shifts life’ emphasis and "lives happily ever after.
