more than 700 men studying the
Bible behind Prison walls. After
two years of his long sentence, he

TIIK COASTLAND TIMES. MANTEO, N. C.
SENATOR
SAM ERVIN
SAYS
WASHINGTON The Senate
has passed a bill to expedite and
accelerate the use of educational
television in our nation’s schools
and colleges. I voted for the bill
which will authorize a grant of up
to $1 million for North Carolina
to establish or improve education
al broadcasting facilities. Televi
sion has immense possibilities in
the field of education. Already
North Carolinians have seen an ef
fective use of television through
WUNC-TV Station in Chapel Hill.
The measure now goes to the House
for consideration.
ANTI-CRIME DRIVE A con
certed drive against crime in Amer
ica has been called for by Attorney
General Kennedy and has been
sanctioned in speeches in the Sen
ate. The Attorney General has ap
pointed an Assistant to head the
Anti-Crime Division of the Justice
Department. Hearings before the
Senate Rackets Committee have
shown the need for federal direc
tion of this drive. Local officers
find often-times that they are at
a loss to cope with a nationally or
ganized crime syndicate or even a
criminal who operates in several
states. I favor new hearings in this
field by the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee.
TEXTILES Senators from the
major textile producing states hav
suggested a flexible quota as one
means of assistance to the textile
industry. The President is aware
of the textile problem and has ap
pointed a cabinet level committee,
including Secretary of Commerce
Hodges, to study the situation. I
believe and have so stated in the
Senate that a system of flexible
quotas by country and by category
will deal with the present situation
in such away as to give our
friends in foreign countries such
reasonable proportion of our do
mestic market as they need to
have, and at the same time pre
serve the investments of our lo
cal manufacturers in the domestic
market and the jobs of our textile
workers. 230,000 North Carolina
families earn their livelihood in
textile plants. Since 1947 the Unit
ed States has seen 838 textile mills
liquidated with a loss of over 400,-
000 American jobs. This unfortu
nate situation is due to a malad
ministration of the Reciprocal
Trade Agreement Act. When Cor
dell Hull recommended that the
United States enter into a recipro
cal trade agreement with other na
ions, he said it was not contem
plated by this concept that the
United States would encourage the
importation into the United Sates
of articles which were produced in
the United States in surplus quan
tities. He said to have true recipro
city the United States should make
agreements with other nations
whereby the United States would
export to those other nations the
goods which we produced in surplus
quantity, and whereby the United
States would import from those
other nations the goods which the
United States either did not man
ufacure or could not manufacture
effectively. We need to return to
that orginial concept.
