:;(WlA-SH!INGTON to last week's
: jyhrmn, I mentioned briefly Kbe cur
rent investigation into the opera
tic as of th Voice of America pro
ject. This probe ia of particular in
terest to our state because it has
been charged that a large .amount of
aoney was invested unwisely by the
Carolina-. 1"
As I said last week, I frankly am
not able , to appraise the charges.
Neither Senator Hoey'nor I was ad
vised of . plans to establish the big
radio station in Bladen County, and it
has-been indicated that very few

facts will come out either to con

now pay in excess of 60 per cent of
their income in taxes of one form or
another. There are some cases, I am
told, whore the taxpayers' highest
''Federal tax bracket goes to 95 per
I cent Then if you add on the high
est bracket of the North Carolina
state tax (7), you can see that
there could be cases where a person
cannot make enough money to pay
his taxes. , ; -: ' .
I ithink everyone agrees that both
government spending and taxes must
be cut
HISTORICAL N. C
North Carolina is fortunate in hav
ing an excellent historical novelist to
write about the early settlements in
the northeastern section of our state.
I refer, of course, to Mrs. Inglis
Fletcher who has become prominent in
the literary world by writing stories
told to her when she was a child by
her grandfather, who has been a
native of Tyrrell County. At the
same time she wrote her first book,
"Raleigh's Eden", she was a resi
dent of California, but some years ago
she moved- to Edenton and now oc
cupies a famous old, place on the
who escaped from behind the Iron Chowan River known as "Bandon
Curtain had been disillusioned because
of what thy had heard on the Voice!
. of America broadcasts. They had be
lieved from what they hald heard that
' they would be welcomed into all the
glories of the western .nations. In
stead they found themselves installed
in refugee camps.
I also found that there were those
from behind the Iron Curtain who
had hoped that the American Army
would liberate the Communist-controlled
countries. Many asked me
about that, add I was bound to re
ply that I was not in favor of eend-

submitted to Russia.
But, of course, there are some

seems to me, would be a fctile en
deavor in most cases.
GAINING GLORY
I have moved my seat in the Senate
from the' back row to a much more
rimirnhla am Tint far if rvvm fha Viifn
: President's stand. I was able to make
this change because of my relatively
incresed rank in the Senate. As a re-
, suit, I am now on the second row
and in a much better position to see
and hear , than was previously the
case.'. ': ...
On my left is Senator Earle Clem
ents of Kentucky, who was sworn in
with me on November 27, 1950. Sena
tor Clements and I were the only two
' to take the oath that day and it is a
little difficult to realize that more
than two' veara have nassed. ,
Senator Kefauver of Tennessee is
' seated on my right. .
WEEKLY BROADCASTS
' Senator Hoey and I have been
gratified at the response we have
received from North . Carolinians to
our weekly broadcast. Many people
have written that it has given them
an adkted interest into what is going
on here. We enjoy making the broad
cast . ; '
More and more people are becom
ing interested in Itheir government
It is well that they should since it
affects in so many ways the evert
day lives of Americans everywhere.
FEARSGONB BY
The current controversy among Re
publicans about taxes reminds me of
a warning sounded by the late Sena
tor Bailey many years ago. Sena
tor Bailey warned that if taxation
were not restrained, American initia
tive and enterprise might be destroyed.
At that time the people were hesi
tating to support the income tax
amendment because there was a pos
sibility that some day the federal
Kiovernment might levy as much -as

Plantation.''
Mrs. Fletcher was in Washington
recently to speak at the iEducational
Dinner honoring North Carolina, given
at jthe Women's National Democratic
Club. It was my pleasure to have
her, and some of her admirers among
the members of the Senate, to a lunch
eon in the Senate Restaurant.
'She has Idone a most worthy work
in presenting to the world some his
torical narratives of our state.

Hearty Laugh
An old couple were listening to a
broadcast service, the husband sitting
back smoking his pipe, his wife in
Ideep concentration. Half tin hour
passed in silence. Then, suddenly,
the old man laughed.
"Bandy," exclaimed his wife, 'Vhy
this merriment on the Sabbath?"
"Ah," said 'Sandy, "the parson's
just announced the collection and here
I am safe at home."
