THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1954 THE NEWS-JOURNAL PAGE SEVEN SENATOR REPORTS & Washington I Hew down to Raleigh last week. On my return by plane we ran into bad weath er about Richmond, and by the time we got to Washington, the weather was very bad. I stepped off of the plane and it was snow ing pretty hard.

Anderson Amendment I had to return to vote on the Anderson Amendment to join Alaska for consideration along with Hawaii for Statehood. I voted for this measure. It passed the Senate by a close vote, 46-43. Food For Needy I joined with Senator Kerr of Oklahoma in the co-sponsorship of Senate Bill 3Q92 to provide supplementary benefits for re cipients of public assistance un der Social Security Act programs through the issuance of certifi cates to be used in the acquisi tion of surplus agricultural food products. Purpose Of Bill S. 3092 has two purposes. The first is to provide supplemental benefits for individuals receiving assistance under the programs of old-ai;e assistance, aid to depend ent children, aid to the blind, and aid to the permanently and to tally disabled, as provided for in Titles I, IV, X and XVI of the Social Security Act. The second is to provide for increased do mestic consumption of surplus ag ricultural food products by es tablishing a program whereby the monthly benefit payments of such individuals will be supplemented by the issunnce of $10.00 in certi ficates which may be transferred to rail food products dealers in exchange for Surplus agricultural food products at prevailing mar ket prices. This impressed me so much as being a practical, sensi ble and Immune approach that I had to stand on my feet in the Senate and say something about it. It touches the economic needs of our people and the need to stabi lize farm prices. Why This Bill? This extra monthly $10.00 to the individuals I have already mentioned will be ,a God-send to them. Today we have a strange condition in our country. Many I Va&.

C. - Phones 138 - 150 of our citizens do not have enough food to eat. Yet there Is a surplus of food which threatens to drive farm prices lower and undermine our whole economy. The cost of living Is high. This bill, if passed, would help melt away the government surpluses of food by seeing to it that it gets into the hands of needy and de serving people of our country. It would prevent this food from be ing shipped to Russia, or other places, as some have suggested. We have the surplus of food. The Federal government already owns it. If additional aid is to be given to people on needy roles, then it seems practical to do it this way. It will serve a human need and it will help to keep our farm prices North Carolina can make a liv ing. I am for helping folks who are in need and doing away with aid to people who are able to work and earn a living but are too lazy to do it. History We had a letter from States ville this week which contained an interesting fact. It said that Iredell County touched more counties than any other county in the United States. It got me to thinking about the counties that Iredell adjoins, so I checked the big North Carolina map in the office. They are Rowan, Cabar rus, Mecklenburg, Lincoln, Ca tawba, Alexander, Wilkes, Yad kin and Davie nine counties! That must be the record. If any body knows differently, I'd like to hear about it. This-And-That It was my pleasure to insert Dr. C. C. Crittenden's splendid article about the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge in the Congressional Record this week. It was the first article I have inserted, so I was particularly pleased about it be cause so many of us are anxious to see Moore's Creek National Military Park retained by the Na tional Park Service and its im portance stressed to the world . . . We got a new batch of gallery passes to the Senate. The rules formerly permitted the name of Senators to be printed on the card. Now each card has to be signed by the Senator issuing it, including the name of the person to whom it is issued and the date. This all came about as a result of the tragic shooting in the House recently. . .Speaking of the trag edy in the House, I have been told about one of the House pages who was scared into flight when the pistols started shooting. He ran into one of the telephone booths in the cloak room just off the floor. A Congressman came running after him and tried to dash into the booth, but the page forgot about courtesy and every thing else and he told the Con gressman to go find his own booth "this one is mine!". . .There are 200,000 organizations in the country, so I read this week, that are interested in having their Senators do something for them. All I can say is that I certainly trust they don't decide to come to Washington at the same time!
