Wflaliina-ton Mv activities last week included a very interesting visit to Raleigh where I spoke betore tne annual meeting of the Raleigh Acad emy of Medicine, and later visited the General Assembly. Everyone was most gracious to me. At the Academy of Medicine meeting I enjoyed seeing many of the doctors who have been my friends for a long time. I also had an opportuni ty to get acquainted with several others I had not met before. I find that these medical men are taking more interest in. public ques tions and the formulation of public policies which mean so much in the administration of our government. FIRST, THE SENATE The next day, when I visited the legislature, I first visited the Senate. I was extended the privileges of the floor and was requested to address the Senators. This gave me an op portunity to congratulate thera upon the good reports I had been hearing about the progress being made in the work in that chamber. Occasionally, well-meaning citizens are unduly critical of legislators with out understanding the due processes of law that must be observed if we are to have a government that will properly serve our people. 'Sometimes there are delays while proposed legis lation is being studied carefully. Tt is far better, of course, to pass only those laws which have been considered carefully than to enact legislation hur riedly on the spur of the moment be fore the results have been thought out. . pie majority of those voting in the House or Senate, then probably it should not be forced upon the people. I felt that the due processes of law, as .provided lorm the Uonstitution should be adhered to as far as poBsi- Die, ana x votea ior an amendment which would have provided that a sinv pie majority, could veto a reorganiza tion plan- That amendment failed, but the bill itself passed by.a voice vote) giving President Eisenhower the same authority that President Tru man had. . - ' I believe that legislative processes must be preserved, because when we talk about the President doing some thing, we are actually talking about some of his appointees doing some-, thing. The iPresident cannot possibly do all of the thinking and make all the decisions himself, and there is al ways the danger of any President's appointee abusing the powers dele gated to the President. This, I feel, we must always be on guard against. quiries 19,769 more than in 1951 and In sending out 902,414 booklets, maps and pamphlets both in answer to direct mail inquiries and to 936 travel and information bureaus in the United States and abroad. .

The competition is broader than ever before, as it is not confined to the tourist industry itself. Outside fac tors the' booming television and air conditioning industries, for instance are now real competition ' to the do mestic travel industry. The rapid-ex-pansion of lower-cost air,' travel to foreign countries is also to be reck oned with.

THEN, THE HOUSE ' Then, I went across to the House of Representatives and was invited to address that group. I felt at home in the House chamber since it wag there that I began my legislative career. Somehow it didn't seem so long since 1931, the year I was 'Speak er of the House. Quite a few of my old friends are in fhe present General Assembly. I was, of course, delighted to see them and greatly appreciated the cordiality ex tended me. It seemed to me that the men con stituting both the House and 'Senate were serious-minded, and intent upon doing the very best possible job for our State, its people and its various institutions. Naturally there are dif ferences of opinion among .them as there should be in a democracy. North Carolina can well be proud of its leg islature. My visit was most pleasant and I regretted that I had to catch, a plane back to Washington before having a chance to see and talk with many of my old friends. A REMINDER I wanted to mention again the gath ering of Democrats in Raleigh on Feb ruary 28 for the Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner. This year I feel ..that I can particularly recommend the event Senator Richard B.

When the bill was first considered in the House, I understand that Presi dent Eisenhower had stated' that he would be satisfied with a proposal permitting a simple majority in eith er the House or the Senate to veto any reorganization plan sent down . by the President. But then some of the President's appointees got busy. They suggested that Mr. Eisenhower ought to have the same authority that Presi dent Truman nad had. This brought on a discussion and then an argu ment Reorganization plans, as you know, have been advanced by the Hoover Commission some of them good and some of them not so' good. The main question, as I see it, involves how far the .legislative branch of our govern ment should go in surrendering its functions and in turning them over to the President I felt that Mr. Eisenhower's original viewpoint was quite correct As some one said, if any plan he submits isn't good enough to be approved by a sim THE HOAXTERS" Show Starts 3:30 Features 3:50-6:45-9:40 :.. - . . - o- . ..
