A S . I suppose last 4 was one of the busiest weeks: IV spent since Vv 1 been in the Senate.; In addition to my usual duties, the Senate Judiciary v Committee, of which I am a' member, spent a total of almost 14 hours con i sidering the appointment of James P. Mcbranery as Attorney General. . muviranery, . ,y0u remember, was , named by the, President to succeed J. Howard MoGrath, whom Mr. Truman J fired after that sensational Tow be ; tween molirath and Newbold Mor ria. 'V'kvUAi'O;,;, i.; ,The appointment must be approved oy me senate before McGranery can take office.' Our committee wanted , to probe fully the rumors and chars;, es against Mr. McGranery 'before ap- . Proving; him. The office of Attorney General is perhaps the moat import ant cabinet post and I -consider our ,' time last week well spent . Foreign Aid ' Both tiie House and the Senate agree that at least a billion dollars ought to be slashed from the Presi dent's demands for almost $8ibillion in foreign aid next year. I'm not so sure that two billion can't be taken , off without hurting our Mutual Se- ' curity program. ' It's all very well and good to want to help other countries, butt I think the President's request is entirely un - reasonable. Last year, when I was . sent overseas I saw how some of our money is being spent. I saw first hand that tremendous amounts are be ' ing wasted. On the other hand, I also saw the good that some of our money is doing. .':''' . A lot of folks don't realize that in ' the first 11 years of our foreign aid program (from July 1940 until July . 1951), the United States had spent a total of more than $85 billion to neip other countries. , - If the cost of the foreign , aid pro gram is broken down on an average basis, here is what it means for the first 11 yean alone: Every person in the United Stated would owe 1474.50 for foreign aid alone. V .... . A city the size of Raleigh, would owe S30,842,000 or almost $3 million a year. (That's more than 'Raleigh spent each year on its entire city government during that time.) . The State of Nortih Carolina, during that -11-year period, had a responsi bility of providing a total of nearly $2 billion dollars. :. 1 : . . , These figures are significant, I think, ' because the average citizen j i. i i, i .-- r l w t- "i cl -'a rc , JcJ U LLA fr ,i c ...a. If he were closer to federal government, he nr'sht feel more strongly about it1 ' i . j ' JPor ei ampte, can anyone imagine the Raleigh city council appropriating $3 million dollars a year for foreign aid or i our i State legislature appro priating; 198 million, a year for that purpose. It all amounts to the sameexcept that the Congress has been doing the appropriating; and you have been do ing the paying. ' . K." ' A foreign aid program undoubtedly is a vital necessity for our nation to protect our way of life, but I think all of us ought to be mindful of .what it costs. We should also hesitate be fore we offer any blind endorsement to suggestions for wild expenditures. On Controls ' Last week, Regulation W was sus pended by the Federal Reserve Board. That as you know, eliminated the re strictions on installment buying. I was glad to see that action. And I hope mat- by July 1 our people will be freed from many of the other con trols which now exist for no justi fiable purpose. I did not think last year that many of the controls pass ed by Congress were needed, or that they were workable. Tne confusion of the past 12 months, therefore, has not surprised me. It is patiently absurd for business men to have to worry with all sorts of regulations and red tape when most of their goods are selling far below ceiling prices anyhow. But that is the situation right now. ; I hope the OPS will be stripped of much of its authority, if not com pletely abolished. iRusseU In Florida I have been asked several times for my reaction to the Florida pri mary, in which Senator Russell de feated Senator Kefauver by a margin of some 75 thousand votes at last count. ' I was pleased and I didn't expect a better showing. Senator Russell ran up against a highly-organized campaign in Florida led by former Senator Pepper who supported Ke fauver with every bit of political pow er he had. I believe you will find that the South is pretty solidly behind Senator Russell at the Democratic convention in July..;- .- MRS.

In many cases these fruit are seedless or si moat seedless.:-; ' v';.; V-"1 Experiments have shown' that, in the case of tomatoes, it is only worth while to spray the hormone on the first two or three clusters. fThese hor mones are now available at any seed store under various trade names. a They should bo used according to the directions given by the manufacturer; otherwise they may cause damage or heavy wrinkling of the tomato fruits. The material should be sprayed on the open blossoms with , an atomizer or fine sprayer. Since all the blos soms on a cluster do not open at one time it will require at least two appli cations for each, cluster. , Many com mercial growers are now using fruit setting hormones successfuly and there is no reason why they should not be successful in the home garden especially in cool growing seasons. The fact that main fruits would be seedless would be an added attraction or incentive. ' ' Perquimans County. Surviving are a ((inter.

Their presence is necessary for mastication of food and for proper development of speech. They are also necessary for the growth and development of the gums, the jaws, face and head. By Dr. Sophia Branson IMPORTANCE OF BABT TEETH : It is the duty of every prospective mother to learn and to put into prac tice everything that is possible to pre serve her own health and ttiat of her child. In the case of the child it com mences before birth, and should be carried on until he is old enough to take over for himself. .This he will do if properly trained by & careful and intelligent mother. ' There are plenty of informative books on the market now that give sensible instruction on the subject. They will be studied by earnest, in quiring mothers. Diet of the preg nant woman is largely a determinini factor in her own health and that of her child. The expectant mother should keep in touch with her physician nd den tist They will gladly instruct her as to her method of preparation for the little stranger and tell her where she can find books and pamphlets that will give her reliable information. Some mothers are amazingly ignor ant and negligent about the import ance of taking proper care of the first or milk tee$ of their little ones. The mouth should be kept sweet and clean.

If they did not serve a necessary pur pose, they would not exist . v The Joss of a single baby or-foundation tooth, -until H has been ab sorbed into a permanent- tooth, and nature js ready to cast off the shell, is a misfortune. . Some ignorant mothers actually allow the founda tion teeth to decay in the helpless child's mouth, and they do nothing to prevent it The development of the foundation teeth require good, nutritious food. All babies need plenty of milk to furnish calcium with which to build teeth and bones. , Every one of the twenty foundation teeth should be in the mouth by the time he is 2 or 3 years old. They are necessary for properly chewing the food and the maintenance of health. II several of dheae baby teeth are lost, nature cannot properly carry out her designs. The face and jaws will lack the assistance that weuld have been afforded by healthful, well-developed, properly functioning baby teeth. Crooked, crowded, unsightly permanent teeth are often caused by neglect and consequent loss of foun dation teeth. - t "Behind Before" Henry and Oscar, two old fellows, were .partners in a barber shop.
