Last wek, as you knew, President Truman ordered that' the 'steel mill be seized and operated by the govern ment. , ibis was ft very serious ana Very questionable move by Mr. Titi an an. ; It involves the fundamental question of the right of the President to seize private property. Most Senators are of the opinio that the President does not have the right, either inherently or by statu tory enactment, to seize private prop erty and operate it for the advantage of one group over another which is certainly the case now. ' ' If he can seize steel mills, then he can seize flour mills, for example, to get flour for the armed forces. That leads to the question of whether he also has the right to seize the farmers' land on which the grain is grown. So, you see, this is an important situation. If the President's act is upheld he could, if he desired, move . on and on until we find ourselves com pletely socialistic and perhaps even communistic. Of course everyone hopes ithat the present crisis can be eliminated with out harming our established institu tions and form of government. And naturally you will see great joy in this move by the President, on the part of those inclined to be socialistic in their thinking. They seem to yeam for the day when they can put into ef fect in America a totalitarian regime. It shou.d be l Je. no r to pi..t mt t warm-season vegetal.e crops any where in the State eart of the moun tains. It is true that I have had to mato plants killed by frost in Wake County as late as April 25, .but that is unusual. Also, if the plants have been well hardened light frost will usually not harm them. Tomato, pep per, and eggplant plants should be hardened by withholding their water supply that is, by keeping them on the dry side. Cabbage and lettuce plants are hardened by subjecting them to cool temperatures 'for ft few days before setting. ' . Try some of the new bean varieties in the garden this year. Contender, Ware, and Topcrop are all excellent tax money, and seldom is any protest raised. This committee, if approved by the House, would protect the tax payers. 1 hope H is a step in the right direction to reduce government spending. The committee would be bi-partisan. No Authority The President did not cite any au thority for his action in seizing the steel plants. And he refused to use the Taft-Hartley Act, which if the President had utilized it would have taken care of the situation. Mr. Tru man has never found the Taft-Hartley Act very palatable. He perhaps likes it even less now that one of its authors is a candidate for the Presidency. Budget Committee Last week the Senate passed, and sent to the House, a bill sponsored by Senators McClellan and Hoey, among others, which would Set up a joint House-iSenate committee to in vestigate the requests made by gov ernment officials for large sums of money. The department heads of our gov ernment can always give detailed rea sons why they need more and more War Powers Act The extraordinary powers granted President Truman to cope with situ ations arising during the recent war were extended reluctantly last week by the Senate. The House had voted to extend them to July 1, but the Senate insisted that the deadline should be June 1. The President does not seem to recognize, however, that a state of war exists in Korea. He calls it a "police action." Everybody else up here knows that a war is still going on. And it seems to be an increas ingly unpopular war as far as the people are concerned. Dr. Sockman's Visit Last week- I had the pleasure of entertaining at lunch, in the Senate Restaurant, Dr. Ralph W. Sockman. He is a very famous Methodist minis ter of New York, who has broadcast for many years over a nationwide radio network. His radio sermons' have meant so much to those unable to attend his services in person. Dr. Sockman saw many of his old friends while he was here, including Dr. Frederick Brown Harris, chap lain of the Senate. Dr. Sockman has visited North Carolina many times, and particularly Duke University. He is one of the greatest preachers of the world and I was very glad to spend a short while with him. 99 (varieties and they are almost immune to mosaic, which sometimes reduces .the production of Tendergreen; con siderably. ; improved strmgieos Blue Lake is an excellent pole bean, es pecially for canning and freezing, and it is absolutely stringless. For real flavor though, its hard to beat Ken tucky Wonder even if it is sometimes stringy and is very susceptible to bean rust disease. The perennial argument now comes up about the advisability f planting cucumbers and squasn next to musK- melons. Some folks still believe they will cross and give the inuskmelons a cucumber taste or flavor. That is not true. Cucumbers Will not cross with muskmelons bt the field nor will either of these crops cross with Dumnkins or squash. However, one variety of cucumber will cross with another variety of cucumber. The same would be true of different varie ties of muskmelons or watermelons. But even so, there would be' no effect on the variety this season. If you saved the seed and planted , it next year, the effect of cross-pollination would show then. The onlv vegetable crop in which you see results of the cross during the current year is sweet corn. White and yellow sweet corn planted side by side will give you ears a mixture of white and yellow kernels this year. Fire Destroyed Home Near Winf all Thursday A fire of undetermined origin com pletely destroyed the home of Her bert Boyce, Negro, near Winfall. on Thursday morning of last week. When discovered the fire had gained con siderable headway. The Hertford Fire Department was called to the scene but on arriving were unable to extin guish the blaze, which by that time could be seen from Hertford. Loss from the fire was estimated around $7,000. It was reported a large part of the loss was covered by in surance.
