ers, like those who visit the Na
tion’s Capital, welcome the
spring pageant that is tradition
ally known here as the Cherry
Blossom Festival. The warmer
days and the Japanese cherry
trees unfold a panorama along
the Potomac Basin that is in
spiring to all who witness it.
GENEVA PARLEY North
Carolinians remind me on many
occasions that they have an
abiding interest in the prospects
for peace and the avoidance of
war by this nation. To this end
I am mindful of the trust impos
ed upon me as a member of the
Senate Armed Services Commit
tee. This year our defense ex
penditures will be in the neigh
borhood of SSO billions so that
we may effectively cope with
aggression directed toward our
country. The President recently
commented on the progress- we
are making toward peace. He
said: “the great currents of his
tory are carrying the world
away from Communism and to-'
ward democracy and freedom**.
At the same time while the tide
may be moving with the United
States, we still find it necessary
to engage in talks with the Rus
sians at the Geneva meeting that
recall by-gone days. While I am
not opposed to talking with the
nations of the world about ef
fective safeguards for peace, his
tory has demonstrated time and
again that an aggressor nation
has no intention of abiding by a
disarmament treaty. Reports

(dicated a willingness by our
- British friends to reduce to a
' minimum the standards for in
ternational inspection to safe
guard disarmament. Signing a
weak treaty will not make dis
armament possible, nor do I be
leive that we will want to relieve
’ a period of history when effec
tive treaties were unwisely hail
ed as the dawn of the era of
peace. It is well to remind our
selves that while Soviet diplo
mats sit around the conference
table at Geneva, Soviet actions
are going on in Berlin, Vietnam,
the Congo, and Cuba. ‘
HEARINGS Woodrow Wil
son in his commentaries on Con
gress said. “Congress in commit
tee is Congress at work”. The
tax revision hill has been
reported for debate by the
House Rules Committee, but
for the most part Congress has
been engaged in hearings on
major pieces of legislation yet to
come up for debate. House com
mittees have been holding hear
ings on foreign aid for 1962 and
the general farm bill. Senaite
committee hearings have been
going on concerning public
works, wiretapping, and literacy
voting requirements.
VOTING TESTS Hearings
are under way’before the Con
stitutional Rights Subcommittee
which seek to establish by fed
eral law educational tests for
voters. The fundamental concept
of our government for 172 years
has been that this republic rests
upon the intelligent exercise of
the voting privilege by the elec
torate. These bills expressly vio
late the Constitution which is
specific on the rights of the
States to stipulate their own
tests of eligibility for voting. It
’s interesting to observe that
the decisions of the U. S. Su
preme Court have uniformly up
held reasonable requirements
which exclude from voting the
illiterate, the felonious crimi
nal, and the mentally incompe
tent. The Court has held these
voting requirements are neutral
on the subject of race, creed,
and color. None of the three
bills before the Committee have
any operative statutory provi
sions which refer to racial dis
crimination. The clear mandate
of the Constitution of the United
States and the court decisions
to this hour has been that
changes such as the proponents
of these bills seek to bring about
can be lawfully done only
through Constitutional amend
ments adopted by the Congress
and the states. The plain truth
of the matter is that heretofore

MIDGETT IS HONORED
BY FREE MEMBERSHIP
IN OBSERVER SOCIETY
Arvin Midgett, prominent
whale observer on the Outer
Banks has been named as a
member of the Dead Whale Ob
servers International. Midgetit,
who located a 55 foot whale
carcass recently at Pea Island,
had previously spotted a 50 foot
denizen at Oregon Inlet while
“damming."
1 The announcement of Mid
gett’s appointment came from
’ Roger Bell, president of the so-.
1 ciety and native of Roanoke Is
land, who praised Arvin as “an
’ aimless wanderer who will be a
' definite asset to our organiza-
■ tion.”
Bell’s letter, complete, fol-
■ lows:
It was with interest and pride
’ that I recently read of your ex-
* ploits in charting the drift of
1 a dead whale carcass. Proud to
> know that the youth* of Amer
ica is not completely unobser
vant. Young num your feats
do us proud! Comparable to the
heroism of our astronauts! It
thus does me great honor to be-
> stow upon you an honorary
> membership in the Dead Whale
> Observer Society. Normally
* membership fees run 10 to 80
i pounds of rotten blubber but
> with your nose for dead whales,
* I’m certain you wiH be a definite
- asset to the Society in an honor
ary status.
Our Society Is composed of
i beachcombers, like yourself,
1 who have nothing else to do but
wander aimlessly along the
’ periphery of the Atlantic Ocean.
With this in common we have
formed a society whose main
highlight is to gather once a
year following some great storm,
by the carcass of our beloved
whale and roast “blubber
marshmallows.” And, as the sun
sinks slowly in the west we gen
erally sing the mournful refrains
i of our society hymn—“Yo ho ho
' and a bottle of rum . . . fifteen
men on a dead whale’s chest.
The headquarters of our so
ciety are down in Brunswick,
Ga., and you are extended a cor
dial invitation to visit us dur
ing the hurricane season to scout
; for deceased whales . . . but let
me warn you that finding dead
whales is NO picnic here in
. Georgia. We’re constantly being
thrown off the trail by dead fish,
rotten shrimp and other red her
rings.
Again, mv congratulations!
ROGER BELL
Pres., Sec., Treas.

Society
have reposed a constitutional
