WASHINGTON REPORT
By BILL WHITLEY
LOBBYISTS. How do you feel
about the development of the Ant
arctic Continent? If you have any
views on the subject, a certain
lady in Washington, Miss Eliza
beth Kendall, would like to know
about them. She is one of some
700 lobbyists currently registered
with Congress. Like Miss Kendall,
all of the lobbyists have special
projects they are working on.
Hundreds of organizations re
tain agents in Washington the
year around to bring influences to
play on members of Congress.
Many of these groups maintain
big offices with large staffs of
experts.
LEADERS. There are several
lobbying groups that are masters
when it comes to influencing law
makers. They leave no stone un
turned in letting Congressmen
know exactly what they want. In
many cases they provide very
helpful and essential information
on pending legislation.
Probably the richest of all
lobbying groups is the National
Association of Manufacturers,
which plays effective roles in in
fluencing legislation on taxes and
other important economic issues.
Another wealthy and effective
group that works along the same
lines as N.A.M. is the U. S. Cham
ber of Commerce, a group that
swings a big stick when it comes
to influence.
OPPONENTS. In many legisla
tes time.
Carleton Kelly spent the week
end in Norfolk.
Dallas Williams from Norfolk,
and Larry Simpson from Eliza
beth City were home last week
end.
Word has been received that
Maurice Ballance, U. S. Army, has
been transferred from Camp
Devon, Massachusetts, to Camp
Eustis, Va. Mrs. Ballance plans to
visit him there soon.
Rev. W. R. Hale has announced
that he will hold a special Sunrise
Service, 5:30 p.m. on Easter Sun
day, on the dune nearest the
Ocean Beach, out in front of the
village.
Members of tne Ocracoke School

tive fights, such wealthy groups
as the AFL and CIO lobar groups
fight proposals that are support
ed by NAM and the Chamber of
Commerce, and vice versa. Both
the AFL and CIO keep large
staffs in Washington to carry
their fight for organized labor.
In recent years, farm groups
have become some of the most in
fluential lobbying groups in the
capital. The Grange, The Farm
Bureau and the. National Farmers
Union all have lobby organiza
tions working full-time to mold
legislation to their liking.
STRUGGLE. The larger lobby
ing groups have almost unlimited
financial resources to back up the
arguments for or against ilegisla
tion in which they are interested.
There are smaller groups that
struggle constantly for their cause
with very few funds. In many
cases it amounts to an individual
fighting for what he thinks is
right
The lobby records show some in
teresting cases:
The Institute of Scrap Iron has
a representative to furnish infor
mation about that group.
Another lobbyist makes it his
business to protect the Panama
Canal Pilots Association.
A gentleman from Philadelphia
wants Congress “to pass an act
providing for a full judicial re
view of certain claims arising
from French Spoliations occurring
prior to 1800.”
Another gentleman is interest
ed in any legislation that might
keep Ireland united.
The hothouse vegetable indus
try has a representative in town
to watch out for it.
The American Lawn Mower In
stitute also has a man in town, but
he hasn’t revealed just what he
wants as yet.
