WASHINGTON ;
REPORT i
DIKKCTIONS I
I
The annual Lincoln’s Birthday
recess of Congre.ss has passi*d
and the Congress is resumnig the
work of the 91st Congress. Dur
ing the week, I met and talked
with several thousand people in
the lOth District and heard their
views on th«‘ nation’s problems..
In general, there us undeisranding ^
tlial a now Administration re-1
Ouires time to man and take over*
responsibilities for directing the
huge Ferleial apparatus. How
ever, most pt*ople, regardless ‘>f
their political persuasion, are
anxious for chamg^’s which wiU|
offer the alternatives and new
directions the nation needs.
Since the new Administration’
has assume<l control, a period of
less than a month, there has been
feverish lK*hind-th<*-scenes action
in Washington to put the finish
ing touches On new approaelies
to old proiFlems. This whole pro
cess .was referred to rec^ently by|
one of th<* President’s advisors as
“turning the ignition key of gov
ernmental action.”
As only part of this proce.ss,
the White House had issued twen
ty-four directives setting into mo
tion broad studies of national and
international issues in which tlie
American pt'ople have important
interests. A iMirtial list of these
executive branch studies gives a
glimpse of what the Congress
will Ik* involved with f(»r the rest ^
Hi thijj year. This list includes
recommendations for the reform
of the Electoral College and an
intensified drive for the proseou-
lion of organized crime. To the
Department of State goes respon
sibility for recommending now
disarmament proposals, the solv
ing of international telecommun-
■cations problems, the defusing
of the dangerous threats to peactJ
developing in the Middle East,
and the slrengthonijkj of NATO
<lefenscs. To this, we must add
the intensified search for new ap
proaches to athievt? agreement at
the Pari.s conference for p<?ac(* in
Vietnam.
Back on the domestic swme,
steps to put the nation’s financial
house in order are Ixnng taken
and the huge budget for the ne.xt
fiscal year is being studied layer
by layer losee what changes can
and should !)e made. The Secre
tary of Defen.se has been asked
to develop for ending the draft
after Vietnam expenditures have
been r<*duced.
Me<licare and Medicaid pro-
gr«ams are under icnde.w since ris
ing costs are causing serious
strains in these programs intend

same time that an overhauling of
the poverty program is planned.|
As a matter of fact, each De
partment has its own list of pri
orities assurhig a h. sy and prob-
u\T re-evaluation of Federal poli
cies.
While all of this is going on,
the Congress is stirring wdth
ideas of its own. There is an old
aflage that the White House pro
poses and the Congi'ess disposes.
Tiiat is not likely to be as true
during the next two years as it
liasbeen in the past. Becaus** of a
difference* in political control, the
E.xecutive and Legislative branch
es will be travelling on parallel
lines with iwhat now seems to be
a good chance for reasonable co-'
operation.
On the Congressional list of
activities is reform c(f the Execu
tive branch and of the Congress
itself. Chances are good for the
establishment of a special cM)m-
mission to lacommend the stream
lining and more efficient organi
zation of the sprawling Federal
departments, bureaus, and agen
cies with their duplication of ef-

Moore says he hit the lowest
point in his life time ofter los<
ing his bond in an auto occi*

years ago. As it turns out. it
was the turning point of his
life. This is a brief look at a
mon who faced up to o prob
lem and licked it.
Lewis was born and raised on
a farm, one of fourteen chil
dren and he*s no stranger to
hard work. He wosn't sure of
his purpose in life during his
younger days and more or less
drifted oround. About ten years
ago he marri<*d Betty, then he
went to work for the City of
Kings Mountain. He spent sev-

Lewis spent the next four

his job at Craftspun and work

Deacon in his church and says
he has a new outlook on life.
