Ervin Says: \\ ASHIXGTON—Heal ing by the Senate 1‘reparedness Subcommittee of the Armed Services have pre WCI * U.C3 iictve pi t* sented an impressive list of wit nesses of the very highest import ance in our scientific and defence effort. Non-Partisanship A careful study of the tran script of the testimony clearly emphasizes that there is a sense of urgency about increasing de fense and scientific progress with no loss of time. I am certain that by now you have carefully studied news accounts of the hearings. There is another note that we must not overlook. It is the per formance of the Chairman, Sen ator Lyndon Johnson, in keeping the hearings on a strict non-part isan course. 1 stated last month that it would not be a wise course to make the hearings a forum for partisan politics. I said that the need for facts and information on what we need to do is so urgent that pol itical considerations should not enter the hearings. 1 rejoice in the fact that the hearings have demonstrated the workings of a Congressional committee in its true purpose, namely to secure facts on which to inform the public and for the use of Congress to legislate wisely. Information 1 find the people of North Car olina sincerely interested in more information about where we stand in the race for survival. There is intense interest in what steps are required—and what sacrifices to assure our national security. I was impressed by a sentence from a newspaper editorial the othei day. It said, ‘ Because ours is a country ultimately directed by the popular will and not by a military dictatorship that molds the popular will, it is essential that the Ameri can’people have the fullest possi ble understanding of these matters on which the very life and death of our nation may depend.” To cut through the confusion on this question, the people have need ed facts. The present hearing's have already served to inform the people on where we stand. Clearly Stated Dr Edward Teller clearly stated what we must all recognize is the immediate problem. The follow ing. is quoted from the official transcript of his testimony: •• -U the end of the war, we had a monopoly on nuclear weapons a monopoly on nuclear ene gy-1^ Russians, if 1 estimate the situa_ Mountain Greens Cultivated As Good Cash Crop For many years the hillsides of Western North Carolina have pro 'ided Christmas greens, not only for holiday celebrants in this area, but, tor those in distant towns and cities to which annually are ship ped thousands of trees and the tion correctly, have not caught up with us, hut they have closed the Kap in an alarming fashion. In airplane construction, they were just nowhere at the end of the war. loilay, I am again not the expert to argue whether thev are behind us or whether they are ahead of us, but certainly what they do is tally comparable to what we are doing In ballistic missiles, they are, I think, according to all the Mmple evidence that one can see, ahead of us. In radar, we had a most impressive lead. I doubt very much that we have this lead now. We may have lost it or not, I do not know the details. There is no doubt that since the end of the war the Russians have worked at a taster rate, much more effectively m all fields of application of tech nology to the advance military systems, and if the relative efforts continue, as they have been since the war, there is no doubt that in a few more years the Russians will leave us behind and way be hind.’’ As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and ex officio member of the Senate Pre paredness Subcommittee, I shall expect to see some of the sugges tions advanced during the hearings translated into effective progress tor national survival by Congress and the people. We simply do not have any other alternative than to try to keep peace on earth and be prepared for any emergency. I greens which festoon American streets and homes at Christmas time. It is only in recent years, how ever, that Christmas tree growing has become a source of farm in come, and the trees quite literally cultivated as a paying crop. Yule tree planting on rough land is favored by soil conservationists conserving soil, as well as invest ment. Southern Balsam is perhaps the most favored of the trees for this type of crop planting. Pine, of course, is also grown as a crop. Of the former trees, the green boughs below where the balsam is topped out for Christmas trees also are sold. Prices paid for both trees and boughs have advanced cons iderably since 1954. For 1954 sales were reported in some mountain areas as 43.3 cents each “on the stump”, with boughs bringing one cent per pound. This year the price was reported as nearly $1.25 per tree, and one owner reported an offer of five cents per pound for boughs this year. Over 21 million Christmas trees will be used in the United States this year. Over a third of these will be balsam fir, the report in dicated. The eastern market has demanded a balsam for a top-grade tree. Farmers in New York, Pen nsylvania and West Virginia are reportedly looking now to the south for a market. Either we will grow them here on north slopes at an elevation over 3,000 feet, or our northern neighbors will ship them in, experts reminded. TOYS FOR TOTS During the last ten years, more than 20 million toys have been col lected for needy children through the “Toys for Tots” program of the Marine Corps Resei’ve. “Toys for Tots” is a volunteer campaign at Christmas time of Marines and their friends and neighbors in more than 250 cities in the United States and Hawaii. 1 BLACK MOUNTAIN INSURANCE COMPANY GENERAL INSURANCE and BONDS Representing Leading Stock Companies GREENE BUILDING BLACK MOUNTAIN, N.
