THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1962. PACE THRO ' Laat week the folks in Washington like everywhere else in tiie nation were, interested in polities. The Pre ferential primary in Minnesota Show ed again the strong personal popular ity of .General Eisenhower, fee well as tne unpopularity of (President Tru man. - ' Wednesday Senator Hoey and I drove down; to Raleigh for the annual banquet of the North Carolina Citi zens Association. Mr. Hoey made the principal speech and was presented the association a annual award for citizenship. I had the pleasure of making the presentation. ' ' There was a pleasant surprise for everybody present Senator Richard Russell of Georgia had been invited to attend, but because of . the press of duties in Washington, .had not been able to accept. At the last minute, however, he found he was ,able to come, so he flew down for the occas ion, and returned to Washington the ..same night ', . . "":"' :A. To say that those present were en. thusiastic about Senator Russell, and . his candidacy for the (Presidency, would be a matter of understatement. l am all the more convinced that if the South sticks together, and wages a strong fight, we ean win the Demo cratic, nomination for Senator Rus sell. .. And if he is nominated, I feel he .can. be elected. I hope that our people will bear in mind that Sena tor Russell is not (merely a sectional i candidate, but who can and will prop- erly represent the entire nation with great ability and harmony. - - The People Speak . While I was in 'Raleigh, hundreds of people spoke to me about the affairs of government They are sick of high taxes, high spending, and low morals in government ' I did not hear a single person ex press the opinion that he was satis fied with things as they were. ' "ir-) .School Children We are having : more and more groups of school children visit ua, now that Spring is opening up. I was pleased to see groups from, whigh schools at Sunbury and Cary recently. I want to renew my invitation to all North Carolinians to come to see us when they're in Washington. Well be glad to provide you with passes to the Senate chamber and assist you In any way possible while you're here. v K Letters From Home Our mail from North Carolina is steadily increasing and most of it demonstrates interest m government People are, it seems to me, wanting to know the true facts, rather than continue to absorb the propaganda be ing distributed by the thousands of press agents on the government. The President's so-call Reorgani zation Plan for the Internal Revenue prompted a great many letters. Most people wanted to know more about it and why both Senator Hoey and I voted against it , : '(V This plan, as I have told you, was nothing more than a whitewash job, designed to counteract the public re sentment to the scandals which have rocked the Revenue Bureau in recent months. The President said that the plan would take the bureau "out 'of politics." Actually the reverse is true. The civil service Is full of polii tics. One of the three commissioners of the bureau appointed by the Presi dent, mind youis Miss Frances Per kins, former Secretary of Labor, who has been a politician, all; her adult life. So have the other two members, even though they're not quite, so well known. . . . All three are supporters of the Tru man policies. ' They will have the fin al say in selection of officials who from now on will collect your taxes. Typkal Letter One letter from a civil service work er was typical of many I received. He wrote to say that Senator Hoey and I are right about the Civil. Ser vice Commission. For example, he wrote: .". The preference employee is assured he wiU be retained in spite of poor performance. Unfortunately it as not possible for the conscientious, loyal career civil service employee to do anything about this situation.". '.In other words, if a civil service employee has the approval of the "gang" thefthe will never lose his job, no matter how inefficient or lazy he As yotOprobably read last week, it recently cost the government a half -million dollars to fire just one civil service official who had been appointed because of his connection with the right gang. 1 ; ' ' ; 'And yet the propaganda experts convinced a great many people that President Truman was proposing a great and noble thing! ' I ' BEVERLY LANE ' Beverly Lane, 12, daughter of Mur ray D. and Virginia Spangler Lane, of Belvidere, died at the Albemarle Hospital in Elizabeth City last Fri day at OA. JH., alter an illness of three months. Surviving besides her parents are a sister, Glenda; two brothers,, Donald and 'Leon Lane, both of Norfolk, and her maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Spangler, of Falls River, Va. ,.:;:- ,. . Funeral rites were held Sunday -at 2 : P. M., at the Chsppell Baptist Church by the pastor, the Rev. A. H. Outlaw, of Elizabeth City.
