Hoke County Visit
Set By Lennon
Rep. Alton A. Lennon, who represents
the state's Seventh Congressional District
and who was relumed for another two
years term last Tuesday, will be in Hoke
County Wednesday and Thursday,
November 20 and 21. He will be in the
county "at large" on Wednesday but will
be at the Courthouse from 9:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. Thursday.
Lennon made the following comments
concerning his visits in the district.
"Since the Congress adjourned on
October 12, my time has been divided
between being in our North Carolina
Congressional Office and fulfilling
commitments in our District and State,
"During this visitation period, I shall
continue my efforts to assist our people
with problems related to our Federal
Government.
"When the 91st Congress convenes on
January 3, 1969, Scotland County will no
longer be in the Seventh Congressional .
District. I have enjoyed the privilege of
serving the citizens of Scotland since
1962, and I trust that the friendships
made over the years will continue. I plan
to visit briefly in the County, even
though this is not shown on my schedule.
"I look forward to seeing you again."

M0RGAN1ON - A review cutback in the budget requests
of l he 90i h Congress reveals
that it took the "middle - of
l:e mad" approach on the two
dominant issues - the war in
Vietnam and lax and economic
policy. As the 2nd session
nearod an end, Congress chose
to reassert its traditional role as
an independent branch of the
government.
The Vietnam War brought
much debate in the Congress.
The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee was in conflict with
Administration officials many
times on policy questions
about the war. Still in crucial
showdowns the Administration
won bi-partisan support for the
war effort.
Another long standing issue
of foreign policy continued to
evoke Congressional
opposition. I his is (he foreign
aid program. The
Administration requested $2.9
billion in new funds lo
continue the aid program.
Foreign aid has not been
popular for some years, but
even so, il has received funds
often more adequate than our
budget situation merited. This
year Congress reduced
appropriations for the program
to the lowest level in 21 years
with new monies set at SI. 8
billion. I voted against the
foieign aid authorization and
appropriation bills. I do not
think the program can be
justilied at a time when we
have other more pressing
needs.
The lax increase and
spending reduction bill was one
of the "middle - of the road"
compromises worked out over
many months. The economy
mood that came into being
after spending requests rose to
new heights brought a
consensus in the Congress that
something had to be done to
restore fiscal responsibility in
the budget to halt the upward
trend of inflation. The
Administration requested S148
billion in government
operations spending authority
for fiscal year 1969. Congress
balked at spending at this level,
and curtailed this amount by
$14 billion.
The budget savings will be
considerably less than that
during the current fiscal year
due to the appropriations
system. The budget requests
are for new obligational
authority to spend. Actual
spending for the fiscal year is
often determined by prior
obligational authority, and so
actual spending for fiscal 1969
is determined both by the
"pipeline" of appropriations
authority and the current
appropriation bills. Still the

Harvest Sale
A harvest sale will be held
by the Church of God of
Prophecy on Highway 211,
Saturday, beginning at II a.m.
and continuing until 7 p.m.
The sale will be preceded by
lunch and supper plates which
will he sold to the public.
Many items have been
contributed by merchants for
the harvest sale and these will
be auctioned to the highest
bidders. The public is invited.
is one of (he largest in
Congressional history.
Dissatisfaction engendered
by riots, disorders, and rising
crime rales brought about a
stronger anti-crime bill than
that favored by the
Administration. The feeling
lhal Supreme Court decisions
have dealt too leniently with
confessed criminals resulted in
the passage of amendments
designed to strengthen law -enforcement
powers of the
police in this crucial area.
A by-product of the feeling
about the Supreme Court-came
when the President submitted
the nomination of Justice
Fortas to be Chief Justice of
the United States late in the
2nd session. After the Senate
considered the Fortas
nomination, and Justice
Fortas' qualifications, it
refused to confirm him for the
office of Chief Justice. Thus
ended one of the most debated
court appointments of this
century.
One of the exceptions to the
moderate to conservative
mood of the 90th Congress was
the passage of open housing
legislation. The Civil Rights
Act of 1968 became one of the
most far reaching enactments
of the Congress. 1 strongly
opposed this measure because
it transfers to the Federal
Government the power to
regulate the use of privately
owned property - a power
which, in my judgment,
conflicts with the principle in
the Constitution that no
person should be deprived of
his property without due
process of law.
