? ;???j N.C. Congressmen Study Disaster Insurance' Plans I - ? I., By BILL WHITLEY HI RMCANES. The tank of how to help prevent and pay for dam ages lamed by natural disasters auch as hurricane* la being delved Into in detail by several Federal agenclei and Congresa. The hurricane* of the past two years and resultant floods have created a natural problem of major conaeqeunc*. A solution might ap pear simple, but it Is a difficult ta?k to write legislation or formu late policies that are adequate and at the same time workable. APPROACHES. North Carolina's Congressional delegation ha* ap- 1 proached the problem from three 1 general directions 1 1. Special appropriations that ' would help pay for repairing dam- ' age already done. 2. Some system of Federal dls- i aster insurance that would keep I down dollar losqe* In the future. ' 3. A long-range program of con- < st ruction in beach areas designed to reduee water erosion of beaches < nnit coastal cropland I DIFFICULTIES. Such programs ; must be general enough to meet I the needs of any state that might | have a natural disaster and at the I same time be spedflc enough to i bring about material relief. Tor ex ample, the ctate of Kansas doesn't have to worry about a hurricane blowing and waahlng away it* beaches. because it doein't have any beaches. At the same time, though, H is In constant danger of wind and sand storm*. So what might All the needs of North Car olina would be useless in Kansas. This is one difficulty involved in attempting to get special appropri ations to cover specific damage* al ready done. However, such an ap propriation ha* been approved in I hp House, and it stands an even chance in the Senate If too many dates don't ask for special appro priations to take care of their spe cific problems and overload the Pill. As far disaster insurance, private insurance companies have shied iwaf from writing such policies because the riska are so high and ?x pensive. WORKABLE. A system of Fed eral disaster insurance would have :o cover all types of disasters and it the same time tarry premiums ow enough for Individual! to take >art. A bouse committee is holding learlngs on a disaster insurance >lan and a Senate committee has ilready finished hearings. The lat est word is that chances are pretty [ood for some type of inaurance program to be written before Con gress adjourns. About the same situation exists on legislation (hat would establish a long-range program to reduce ' .lamages. tt>-OPF.BATIVE. Under this plan, jetties, sea walls, sand dunes and other types of construction I would be built undat a co-opera tive program between the Federal government, state governments and private Interests. Present t law now provides for such prdfframs on publicly owned Innd in coastal areas. The proposed legislation would extend this pro gram to privately owned land. Aa complicated as the various programs are. there is a better than average chance that Congress- arid the administration wfll get together on some means of sharing the bur den of disaster losses with local communities and private citizens Error?With Interest NOWATA. Okla. (API ? Grocer Mel Landers received through the mail* an unsigned note, a $20 btll and two dollar bill*. The note laid: "This la to make up for ai^ er ror In change to my benefit made aeveral year* ago in your store. Al so enclosed Is Interest on the er ror." PARK Theatre Program MON.

There are a few details of the "Declaration of Constitutional Principles" which I wish to discuss with you this week. THE MANIFESTO Senator Russell of Georgia, Sen ator Stennls of Mississippi, and I were asked to draw a statement setting forth the attitude of South ern Senators in respect to the school segregation cases. This was the outgrowth of a Southern cau cus which had been called by Geor gia's Senator Walter F. George, the dean of the Senate. Each of us pre pared a draft from which the com posite draft was completed. In only a few minor Instances was the lan guage of the Anal draft changed. It was our purpose to dr^ft the dec laration to serve as a lamp of mod eration in these crucial days. It is hoped that it will cause reasonable people on both aides of this cru cial issue to give earnest consider ation to the dangers that lie ahead if agitators from the outside con tinue to stir up this issue. In this light, the manifesto was drafted and signed by the large number of Members of Congress POWER FOR LAW As was pointed out, the unwar ranted decision of the Supreme Court in the public school cases is now bearing the fruit always pro duced when men substitute naked power for established law. I know the South; I love the South; I also know that thoughtful Southerners of both races can And satisfactory solutions for all our problems in an atmosphere of good will, patience and tolerance. This must be at the local level. Prob lems of this nature cannot be solv ed in any other place or any other way. THE PERSPECTIVE I think many well-meaning per sons have become confused on the rights of the States and the usurp ation of power by the Federal gov ernment. George Washington puts it down for all posterity in his "Farewell Address". Read this carefully; "It is important likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution in those intrusted with its- admin istration, to conRne themselves within their respective constitu tional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one de partment, to encroach upon anoth er. The spirit of encroachment 1; ends to consolidate the powers of [ ill the departments in one, and hus to create, whatever the form if government, a despotism." 'And Washington added this ilincher: "If, in the opinion of the leople, the distribution or modifi ?ation of the constitutional pow ers be in any particular wrong, et it be corrected by an amend nent in the way which the consti ution designates.?But let there >e no change by usurpation; for hough this, in one instance, may >e the instrument of good it is he customary weapon by which ree governments are destroyed." IN CONCLUSION The manifesto concludes: "In this rying period, as we all seek to ight this wrong, we appeal to our ieople not to be provoked by the igitators and troublemakers In ading our States and to scrupu nusly refrain from disorder and awless acts." . ? - ??> American' Carries Feature Article On Smokies Park An art'cje entitled "Smcky nountain Holiday," ia featured in the latest issue of "American" magazine. Written by Wyatt Blassingame, the article contains four color photographs and the text, display ed on three pages of "American." Commenting on his trip, Mr. Blassingame wrote: "It all started when my wife, Sertie, my daughter, April, and I decided on the Great Smokies of North Carolina and Tennessee for >ur annual holiday early last falL Dertie wanted to watch the na tives making pottery and baskets. April's yen was to hobnob with the bears. Fishing was more my ' ? speed. We did all three, and then - some. "On the sunshiny, crystal-clear lay when we drove into the one ime haunts of Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett, I wouldn't have be lieved that so many 'adventures, hrilli, chills, and so much honest o-goodness old-iashioned fun lay shead of us. Our two-week trip turned into the grandest lark we ?ver had. You can take it from ' ne, the Smokies are truly named jreat. In fact, they're wonderful! .... ^ .... .. .7, .. . ?; ?

Shell Premium with TCP outclasses competitive premium gasolines in full-throtrte acceleration test! Modern cars are beautiful per* formers. Yet, within less than 3500 miles of driving, evep a new car can fall victim to engine deposits. These deposits cause pre-firing of the gasoline or spark plug "miss"? denying you the power you paid for, the acceleration you occasionally need no matter how careful a driver you are. Shell Premium Gasoline with TCP, the greatest gasoline development in 31 years, neutralizes engine de posits. TCP additive restores power to jrour car that pre-firing and spark plug "miss" take away. Switch to Shell Premium Gaso line with TCP and get back lost power as you drive. 'Shell's Trademark far this unique gasoline arid it ire I developed by Shell Research Patent applied for. \ Th?
