At least 10 major issues stil
confront Congress as 1t begins
tomorrow an intensive 5-week
drive to adjourn July 81.
What happens to these re-
naming bills will determine
President Eisenhower's batting
average for the session. Both
houses probably viii complete
more important legislation in
July than In the. earlier days OF
the session.
The ten big hurdles still ahead
are:<
/. The general revision Of the
tax laws, passed by the House
and scheduled for Senate action
this week. This will cut taxes
another $1.4 billion, and bring
to ST. billion the aggregate OF
tax relief effective this year.
Democrats will make a fight in
the Senate to give wage earners
q greater share Of the relief
through a higher personal ex-
emption. But Republican leaders
believe they can beat the move.
because of the serious effect 1t
would have on the Treasury's
balance sheet.
2. The $3.4 billion Foreign Aid
authorization for the coming
year, slated for House debate to-
morrow, and for Senate commit
tee action later in the week.
8. The big fight between the
administration and the farm bloc
over 80 per cent versus flexible
price supports, which may reach
a House vote this week and Sen
ate action next month.
4. Broad extension Of old-age
benefits, passed by the House
and know under study in the
Senate Finance Committee.
5. Revival Of the adminiStra-
tons request to raise the $275
billion ceiling on the public debt
which may be unavoidable after
the general tax revision bill be-
comes law. The House voted last
year to raise the ceiling to $29C
billion, but the Senate Finance
Committee has kept 1t in q
pigeon hole since.
6. Revision Of the Atomic
Energy Control Act, soon to bt
reported from q Joint House
Senate Committee. This coulc
touch OF time-consuming de-
bate on the controversy over th'
administrations proposed con
tract for use of private power II
the TV area.
7. Three q d m In tiol

has passed both houses. tn
remaining two would expan'

plans.
9. Extension Of the various
Government housing programs.
passed by both houses, but with
major differences to be settled
in q conference committee this
week.
Q. A final cleanup appropria-
ton bill to provide whatever
funds are authorized in the for
eign aid and other last-minute
measures.
10. Pay increase bills for
postal workers and for classified
Government employees. They still
require action in both houses,
but Chairman Carlson Of the
Senate Civil Service and Post
ONCE Committee said he Is hope
full they win pass.
There are other bills In the
legislative mill many members
would like to pass. but which
may get sidetracked in the last
minute rush to adjourn. These
include the administrations
four-point program for control
of subversives and the expansion
of the Unemployment Compen-
sation law recently voted by o
House committee.
The administrations request
for Hawaiian Statehood has
passed both houses. But 1t Is in
danger of dying because Of
House opposition to the Senate's
action in adding Statehood for
Alaska. It is still in a parliament
tary situation where it could be
revived, however.
Both houses are in good shape
on the ten annual appropria-
ton bills for Government de-
partments. Five have gone to
the President and the other five
could be completed by July /,
when the Governments book
keeping year begins.
In the five completed bills the
biggest cuts below the Budget
Bureau were 81 billion from the
defense program and 1886 million
from Independent Ofdces. The
Agricultural bill Is $25 million
) above the budget.
Most Congressional leaders
believe they will meet their July
} 81 adjournment goal. But some
pessimists still consider August
is a more likely date.

The question was first raised by
Herman Edelsberg, Washington
representative of the Anti-Defa-
nation League, on March IA, 1852.
Mr.. Edelsberg wrote the Visa
Division that the ADJ was in
formed that Sin the case of per-
ons of the Jewish faith, consular
Ulcers have in several instances
.yped in the word Hebrew in
he space provided for the ans
wer to the question race. This,
IF course, is clearly an improper
Characterization since Jews are a
religious and not a racial group
We should like to suggest, there
lore, that if for any reason you
see fit to retain the race ques-
tion-although we can see nc
valid reason for its retention
that our consular officers be in
structed that it is inaccurate tc
use words such as "Jewish" or
Hebrew" which designate per-
sons religion, in answering a
question concerning race
AS far back as ls43. Earl G..
Harrison. then Commissioner of
immigration. ordered the practice
of identifying Jews eliminated.
Mr.. Harrison was so shocked by
Nazi racism that he wanted no
vestige of the Hitler ideologY on
u. S. visas.
The NCRAC, representing
major Jewish organizations, pur-
sued the question in 1852. On
September II of that year a NC
RAG announcement was made
that official assurances were re-
ceived that labelling of Jews was
not required. Indeed, the NCRAC
was asked to report any violations
to the State Department. This
quoted Juror at that time. Today
we find consular officers know
ingly carrying out the same rae
list designation of Jews which
caused the original protests in
1852.

A killing within a 15-mile radius of our

Editorials

One of the best kept secrets ever to be
whispered in Tabor City is on its first legs
and will become reality when the new
radio station goes on the air sometime in
July.
We take tremendous pride right now in
the thoughts of having such radio station
so it is only natural that we bust button
or two" when the first broadcast takes
place.
We take no stock in the theory that the
larger cities have all of the nice things in
life while small communities are content
to struggle along with second-rate pro-
jects, buildings, and citizens.
It's true that we have a tendency to
judge the value of our possessions by COM
parison. We usually want something
little better than that which our neighbor-
ing towns have. 1t may seem selfish to
some but it makes good sense. No one ever
accomplished anything by sitting on their
civic intentions just because he couldn't
afford something quite as nice as that
owned by his neighbor.
In our case it has reached the point
where we have to take back seat to no
one Matter of fact we can almost afford
to be just a little snooty but such an atti-
tude never accomplished too much. We

Although there are some ex-
cemptions. the level of. activity

as measured by employment
and retail sales. Is somewhat
similar to that for the State as
a while. Retail sales tax cOllec-
tons in Columbus county dur
ing March were S29.964. which
was an increase of slightly more
than one per cent over March
a wear ago when the total was
S29,645. During the first three
months Of 1854, Columbus re-
yersed the State wide trend by
also showing a slight gain. from
S1O7. 1868 to S112.403. an increase
of 40 per cent. For the same
period, North Carolina as a
whole decreased by l.6S per
cent.
Columbus employment figures
are Jumped with Bladen and
Robson in the Lumberton Of
flee of the Employment Security
Commission. Total unempioy-
ment in the three counties as
indicated by untitled job appli-
cations on file at the end OF
March was 1910. which was
about 80 per cent higher than at
the same date a year ago when
the total was 1906. UnemplOy-
mcnt as measured in terms of
claims for unemployment inSur-
ance was also much higher in
March as compared with March
a year ago. During March of
this year sos initial claims for
this insurance were filed in the
Lumberton office. which was an
increase of 1872 per cent over
March a year ago when the total
claims to date this year is 2,624,
as compared with 1903 at the
same time a year ago, an in
crease of 118 per cent.
Bank debts, an important bus
mess indicator, indicate a lcve
of activity in North Caroline
during March which was jus
slightly higher than in March ;
year ago. or slightly less thar
one per cent. March debts il
North Carolina. as reflected il

Based on a series of economic
indicators which are compiled
and published once each month
by North Carolina Research IN
stitute, the downward trend In
business conditions which has
been in evidence for several
months seems to have ceased.
The chief reason for this conclu-
sion is the fact that the first
three months o. 1854 were some
what lower than the same period
in 1858. but the same indicators
in March of this year as compar-
cd with Mirch of last year were
about the same or higher.
Such important indicators as
retail sales, State income tax col
lections, employment, and bank
debts indicated that March was
about as well off or peter than
March a year ago. On the other
hand. the first three months of
this year as compared with the
same period year ago were not
so good, thus indicating that jan
uary and February of this year
were considerably below these
two months year ago.
Employment in North Carolina
in March was somewhat less
than in March a year ago, but
not a great deal less. The North
Carolina Department of Labor
reports non-agricultural employ
mcnt at the end of March as be-
ing around 5000 as compared
with 1,005,000 year age. The
monthly reports of the Employ
ment Security Commission show
that there were 10000 active APP
plicants for jobs which could not
be filled at the end of the month
The comparable figure at the
end of March a year ago was
$1,000.
Another measurement of the
employment level is the number
of claims for unemployment in
surance. During March of this
initial claims totaled $4,000 as
compared with 1900 during
March a year ago. Cumulativcly
through the first three months of
this year. the total in the State
was $4,000 as compared with
$1,000 at the same time a year
ago.
Retail sales in North Carolina.
as reflected in sale tax collcC-
tons. followed the same pattern
of Improvement in March after
having been down during Janu-
AIRY and February. Retail sales
collections during March OF this
year were S3.9l9.O0O. which was
an increase OF PAS per cent as
compared with S3,825 900 in
March of 1853. For the first three
months of 1854, however. total

tory. Even If a lot of them did
show up TO show off new outfits.
it's mark of encouragement
that some come TO church who

It's also encouraging that sun

would otherwise have given lit

better TO be in church one Sun
day year than not to be there

was for the food merchants,
Easter for the clothing store
