Dear Editor:
Recently several Yancey County residents received what
appeared to be a letter from Jerry Newton inviting them to
attend a dinner in AshevSle in honor of Senator Jesse Helms. I
would like to describe some of the events which led up to this
rather unusual letter.
During the past few months i have had contact with a
number of representatives from the offices of both Senator
Helms and Congressman Gudger in connection with the
Chamber of Commerce stand against the Mt. Mitchell National
Park. There have been numerous questionnaires and circulars
sent out concerning the park study. When I was contacted by a
representative of Senator Helms asking If my name could be
used in a letter, I consented, thinking that the content of the
letter would be some kind of follow-up on the park question. In
a sense I was not really misled, but was allowed to mislead
myself as to what the letter concerned.
It is not important whether my name was used, misused or
whatever. It is important, however, that everyone concerned
understand that the Chamber of Commerce does not support or
oppose the political career of any candidate. Both Senator
Helms and Congressman Gudger have bills In committee
which |if passed] will have an effect on the park situation. Both
are to be congratulated for the efforts they have shown in our
behalf.
I would like to apologize to anyone who feels that the
Chamber of Commerce has been misused in this situation.
Jerry Newton .
Exec. Director Chamber of Commerce
So come in today and open
a savings account at The
Northwestern Bank. It's the
best way to have the money
you need when your reason for
saving comes along.

Helms Dinner Held
In excess of 1,500 people greeted U.S. Senator Jesse Helms at the Asheville Civic Center
Saturday night when he was honored at a dinner hosted by the N.C. Congressional Club. Senator
Helms brought with him as his guest for the evening Sen. S.I. Hayakawa, [R] California, a
well-known conservative spokesman and President Emeritus of San Francisco State University.
Club members and supporters of Helms from Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson, Madison,
McDowell, Mitchell, Polk and Yancey Counties eqfoyed a country-style chicken dinner and were
entertained by Arthur Smith and his band aid the North Buncombe daggers, the Big Valley
Cloggers, and the Big Valley Clover dance groups. Helms, an ardent opponent of the recently
signed Panama Canal treaty, reviewed its current status and his proposed plan. He received three
standing ovations during these remarks.

£ REPORT FROM
U.S. Senator
JESSE ★★
HELMS
WASHINGTON —A great many Americans are beginning
to ask some very significant questions about the proposed
give-away of the Panama Canal. They are questions which
President Carter's advisors surely will eventually have to
answer fully and forthrightly.
One question involves some of the biggest banks in
the United States, mostly in New York City. Is this give
away really a bail-out of these big banks, who have made
enormous loans to the regime of a reportedly Marxist dic
tator, General Torrijos?
Torrijos is one of the most oppressive dictators in the
world. He has violated almost every human rights standard
in the books. He has managed to stay in power in Panama
solely on the basis of his promise to blackmail the United
States into, giving away our Panama Canal.
BANKS —If Congress refuses to give-away our Canal,
the dictatorship in Panama may fall —and some big U. S.
banks may be left holding the bag on some bad loans that
perhaps shouldn't have been made in the first place.
It is to be remembered that President Carter appointed
a man named Sol Linowitz to be his “personal representative"
in the Panama Canal negotiations. This appointment is really
of ambassador's rank—and should have been sent to the U. S.
Senate for consideration and confirmation. Unfortunately,
Mr. Carter used a sort of back-door approach to by-pass
the Senate. Thus, Mr. Linowitz has never been required to
face questions from Senators.
Now, here's the interesting thing: Mr. Linowitz was,
at the time of his appointment and during the early stages
of his work on the negotiations, an official of one of the
New York City banks which has made enormous loans to
the Panama regime! Shortly after I raised questions of the
propriety of this arrangement on the Senate floor last
February, he resigned from the bank. It would have been
better if he had resigned as negotiator.
NEGOTIATOR—Many Americans sense that there is a
blackmail game going on in connection with the proposed
Canal give away. They repeatedly hear that if we don't give
away our Canal, there will be violence in Latin America.
The truth of the matter is that I have personally visited
and talked with the heads of state in South American countries
representing three-fourths of the geography, population and
gross national product of South America. Without exception,
I have been told: "Please keep your Canal. Don't let it fall
into Torrijos' hands. If the negotiations are ever completed,
we may have to support the troaty publicly, but wo hope
we are never forced into that position."
No one can say that there will not be some violence,
regardless of what happens in this matter. There was violence
about ten years ago—by students at the university in Panama.
It is widely reported that Fidel Castro sent communist revolu
tionaries into Panama to promote that violence. He may do
so again.
Interestingly enough, the head of the university at the
time was a man who is well known for his communist leanings.
And where is that man today? He is the chief negotiator
for the government of Panama in working out the details
of the treaty which Mr. Carter's advisors have persuaded the
President to endorse I
See the pattern? The President has been misled. I do
hope that the American people will not be similarly misled.
