PAGE TEN SENATOR SAM ERVIN SAYS '— WASHINGTON High School this time of year often ask me seniors who visit my office at (this question: “What does a Sena tor do when the Senate is not in session?” I answer them by giving h brief resume of my daily activi ties Which should be of interest to the readers of this column. Recent ly a typical day When the Senate was not in session went like this. The Subcommittee on Investiga tions was investigating the deb’y ■ in our missiles program. I attended it briefly. Then I went to preside at another committee hearing be ing conducted by the Constitutiona’ Rights Subcommittee of which I am Chairman. This hearing went on during the morning and after- ( noon. It provided testimony of able doctors, lawyers, and citizens who were interested in aiding the Con gress to enact a law for the Dis-, trict of Columbia which will im-| prove the statutes now in effect regulating the admission to hospit als of persons needing psychiatric assistance and clarifying the provi sions of other statutes dealing with the hospitalization of persons ac-l quitted of crimes on the grounds, of insanity. At 3:00 p.m. while this testimony continued, it was necessary for me to turn over my duties as Chairman to Senator Keating and go to a third hearing tis a Senate conferee on the Feder td Judgeships Bill. During that con ference it was agreed that the bill would provide for three addit ional North Carolina federal judge ships. The bil has since been passed by the Congress. A number of times during the day, I was called from the hearings to talk to con stituents from North Carolina, to answer long distance telephone cialls, and to confer with a mem-| her of my staff about some press ing matter. At the end of the day when I returned to my office, there were approximately 250 letters upon my desk requiring my per sonal attention and answer, i’here had been no roll call votes, no speeches in the Senate, no legisla tion enacted, but the Senate had faoen hard at work carrying on its functions. MAN IN SPACE Testimony be fore the McCellan Committee on the missile program indicates that we could have launched the first! man into space six months ago if it had not been for inexcusable work stoppages at Cape Canaveral 'three very adverse effects have been the result of this delay, First, we are behind the Russians in an area of national security. Second, the stoppages have resulted in the additional expenditure of million? of tax dollars. Third, the disclos ures have caused grave questions io be raised about the ability of our nation to defend its freedom. LAKE LANDING PERSONALS . Rev. G. H. Harris was in Wilm ington Thursday.
