SENATOR
SAM ERVIN
☆ SAYS *
Congress is getting in a mood
to adjourn, but there are some
stumbling blocks which could
slow down that event.
The major hurdles appear to
be the Administration’s farm
bill, a series of labor proposals,
and a possible renewal of the
battle over a Constitutional
Amendment to permit State
Legislatures to apportion one
house on a basis other than pop
ulation.
The farm measure is fraught
with its usual problems. These
are the balancing of the inter
ests of the farmer, industry and
the taxpayer. This time the
heart of the problem seems to
lie in cotton. Domestic cotton
stockpiles have been building
up in the past year, and a new
look at cost has been ordered
by the Administration.
In 1964 two-price cotton that
raised havoc with domestic
mills was adjusted by a cotton
price equalization bill. That law
permitted domestic textile mills
to buy cotton at a level competi
tive with foreign mills. It was
achieved by Federal payments
to offset export subsidies to
make American cotton saleable
on the world market.
Under last week’s House-ap
proved bill, the program would
be changed to a direct subsidy
to growers who cut production,
and cotton support prices would
be reduced to a competitive
rate less than the current world
market.
Growers are fearful that this
could mean an end eventually
of government support pro
grams for cotton, and the meas
ure has stirred much contro
versy and opposition.
The Senate Agriculture Com
mittee has yet to make its re
port on the farm proposals. Be
fore reaching a conclusion on
the merits of this legislation,
I plan to study the Senate re
port and the views of those af
fected by the bill.
Labor proposals on right-to
work laws and minimum wage
amendments constitute a major
item on the pending calendar.
There are intense feelings about
the repeal of Section 14(b) of
the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947.
This section permits the States
to enact laws forbiding unions
and employers to execute agree
ments that require union mem
bership as a condition of em
ployment. The proposal could
get involved in a renewed bat
tle over reapportionment of
State Legislatures.

reapportionment amendment,
has served notice that he is
considering such action. On Aug
ust 4, the reapportionment
amendment failed to secure the
necessary two-thirds vote re
quired for Constitution chang
es, but did win 57 Senate votes.
Thus reapportionment consid
erable Senate sentiment. More
over, there are nineteen states
which currently have right-to
work laws. The joining of de
bate on a dual issues of reap
portionment and right-to-work
laws as a State area of legisla
tion could bring on extended
discussion.
There are two other contro
versial issues which could up
set any adjournment timetable.
One is the immigration amend
ments which propose the most
sweeping revision of this Act in
40 years. The other is the pos
sibility of an extension of de
bate over foreign aid on the
appropriation bill for that trou
bled program. In past sessions,
foreign aid has slowed adjourn
ment for weeks. Three other ap
propriation bills are not likely
to bar adjournment. They are
for defense, military construc
tion and public works.
The adjournment target si
set for three weeks hence. Such
a miracle has been wrought in
the past when adjournment fev
er really set in.
'Sleeping Tom?'
Early Sunday morning Deputy
Sheriff Elijah Tyndall found
McKinley Williams of Kinston
route 3 beneath a trailer be
longing to Mrs. Barbara Good
man, near Loftln Crossroad.
People had complained of a
"Peeping Tom" in the area and
when Tyndall answered the call
he found Williams. Mrs. Good
man was not at home. Williams
was charged with trespassing.
YOUTH INDICTED
Teenagers Michael Foss and
Jimmy Roberts of La Grange
route 3 were charged with
breaking and entering early
Saturday morning when they
were caught inside the Chev
rolet garage in La Grange by
Deputy Sheriff Elijah Tyndall
and Policeman Robert Pelletier.
PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS
Continued from Page 2
world is not entirely peopled
with those who are anxious to
hide their own lusts behind the
shirt tails of Mother Govern
ment. There are still left in
the world a few true liberals,
who are willing to stand be
tween the awesome and ter
rible powers of government and
the lonely individual. I hesitate
to apply this flattering name to
myself but I will since this is
my basic philosophy.
