I WASHINGTON — The Senate has passed a bill to expedite and accelerate the use of educational television in our nation’s schools and colleges. I voted for the bill which will authorize a grant of up to $1 million for North Caro lina to establish or improve ed ucational broadcasting facilities. Television has immense possibilit ies in the field of educaton. Al ready North Carolinians have seen an effective use of television through (WUNIC-iTV Station in Chapel Hill. The measure now goes to the House for consideration. /ANTI-CRIME DRIVE — A con certed drive against crime in America has been called for by Attorney General Kennedy and has been sanctioned in speeches in the Senate. The Attorney General has appointed an Assistant to head the Anti-Crime Division of die Justice Department. Hearings before the Senate Rackets Committee have shown the need for federal direct ion of this drive. Local officers find often-times that they are at a loss to cope with a national or ganized crime syndicate or even a criminal who operates in several states. I favor new hearings in this field by the Senate Judiciary Com mittee. TEXTILES — Senators from the major textile producing states have mitte, including Secretary of Com merce Hodges, to study the sit uaton. I ‘believe and have so stated in the Senate that a system of flex ible quotas by country and by category will deal with the present situation in such a way as to give our friends in foreign countries such reasonable proportion of our domestic market as they need to have, and at the same time pre serve the investments of our local manufacturers in the domestic market and the jobs of our textile workers. 280,000 . North Carolina families earn their livelihood in textile plants. Since 1347 the Unit ed States has seen 838 textile mills liquidated with a loss of over 400, 000 American jobs. Ibis unfortun ate situation. is due to a malad ministration of the Reciprocal Trade Agreement Act. When Cor dell Hull recommended that the United States enter into a recipro cal trade agreement with other nations, he said it was not con templated by tins concept that the United States would encourage the importation into the United States of articles which were produced in the United States in surplus quantities. He said to have true reciprocity the United States should nutate agreements with oth er nations whereby the United States would import from those other nations toe goods which the United States either did not manu facture or could not manufacture effectively.
