an apple offered by a serpent, and
giving the rest to their husband

gun when they see a serpent and
blow him apart. A big rattlesnake
even got through Lib’s keyhole.
This reporter certainly has fell

WASHINGTON — Last week the
congress voted to override the
President’s veto of the McCarran
Walter Immigation bill. As you
know ,a two-thirds vote is required
in both houses to enact a law over
a Presidential veto.
The house vote was 278 to 113.
The senate vote was 57 to 26. Both
Senator Hoey and I voted to over
ride the veto.
This bill has been vigorously
opposed by certain left-wing
groups and so-called liberals who
have made vicious charges against
it. There have been all sorts of
lobbying efforts against it, the
likes of which I had not seen since
I came to the senate 18 months
ago.
There’s no telling how many
“canned” editorials and distorted
news stories have been sent out
from Washington and New York,
particularly to the smaller news
papers of the country, designed
to cause the people to believe as
the lobbyists wished them to be
a ’48 Chevrolet truck.
Thomas Morris and family and
Lester Rowland and family went
to the stock car races Sunday
afternoon.
Oh boy! at last we have a snake
tale. The other day Thelma Pen
iand, who stays with Mrs. J. A.
Walker, saw the cat jumping at
something in the yard. The cat’s
tail was fuzzed out like a bristle
brush. Upon inspection Thelma
found that he was jumping at a
big copperhead. The snake was so
situated that it couldn’t be killed
with anything but a gun, so Thel
ma went to get a neighbor, Ben
Morris, to come with his rifle and
end the reptile’s life.
There was a beautiful and im
pressive baptismal service at
Mountain View church last Sun
day night. Mrs. Sarah Wheeler,
Mrs. Rudy Ricketts, Rudy Ricketts,
and Grover Brookshire were bap
tized into the church. Mrs. Grover
Brooksire came by letter.
lieve—in spite of the fact that
groups like the American Legion,
American Federation of Labor and
other patriotic organizations have
favored the McCarran-Walter bill.
As the votes were being cast
in the senate last Friday afternoon
on the question of overriding the
veto, I noted that most of the
same senators who voted to uphold
the President also voted last year
against the Internal Security act
which was passed by the congress
as a means of ferreting out the
Communists who are infiltrating
our nation.
Many of our people, even in
North Carolina, have been misled
by propaganda distributed against
' this bill. Some of our editors have
been critical of the bill. However,
I am afraid that many of those
who were so outspoken took their
position without ever having read
the bill or knowing its contents.
THE BACKROUND
The McCarran-Walter bill was
the result of more than three
years of work and study by a
senate subcommittee and staff of
experts, not to mention the State
department, the Justice depart
ment, and the Immigration and
Naturalization service. Our im
migration and naturalization laws
were a hodgepodge of provisions
with loopholes, inconsistencies and
inequities. This subcommittee un
dertook and completed the job of
revising andl“coai$ing*'Mfr.those
laws. ' i
Scores of public hearings were
conducted. Views from all inter
ested persons were welcomed. But
after all the work had been done
