day ran into another White
House roadblock.
It tried In vain, again. to get
details Of conversations between

Sinclair Armstrong, chairman Of
the Securities and Exchange

a temporary suspension Of COM

At a wrangling session Of the
subcommittee, Mr.. Armstrong
refused to talk about any
"advise" he might have re-
ceived from Gov. Adams as to
his own testimony at the sub
committee hearing.
Limit Set Down
Insisting that he was acting

ney General as relayed by Gerald
Morgan, presidential counsel,
Mr.. Armstrong said that he
would testify to matters relat-
ing to Dixon-Yates financing be-
fore the commission" But he
repeatedly made 1t clear he
would not go beyond that.
Specifically. Mr.. Armstrong
refused to talk about a CONVEX

MOTOR POOL LAW BEING

My interest goes even deeper.
The Motor Pool Law introduced
at the last session is now being
carried out by GSA. The govern
ment has 228,438 commercial-type
motor vehicles. They ran nearly
two billion miles last year at a
cost of $185 million in upkeep,
service, and depreciation. With
a fleet of this size, largest in the
land, there is room for far more
economies. Motor pooling will help
GSA make those savings, by cut
ting back the size. getting rid of
unneeded vehicles, eliminating
duplicate services, and reducing
the personnel necessary to oper-
ate the fleet.
In its overall operations, GSA
reports that it saved the taxpayers
$127 million for fiscal year 1854.

ployer calls him back to work. He

the seven months he earns total
of $1,000. He would receive all of
his checks for that year inaSmuch
as he did not earn over $1,000. If
he had earned over $1,000, he
would have lost a check for each
$50 or fraction of $50 in excess of
$1,000. He would not lose a check,
however. for any month in which
he neither worked nor earned
more than $50. If Mr. X had earn

Report From Sen.

WASHINGTON

The February issue of The. Pro-
gressive Farmer has some interest

incomes of various types of work.
ers. They are included in an edi-
torial that calls for quick action
by Congress to help increase farm
income. The basic argument set
forth by the editorial is one for
higher income for farmers at
time when operating costs are ris-
ing.
Quoting figures compiled by the
magazine U. S. News and World
Report. the editorial graphically
shows how farmers. despite in
creased production. are suffering
steady declines in income. Even
in the lush year of 1851, the fig
ures show, when farmers were av-
eraging 107 per cent of parity for
their products, they had an an
nual average net income of only
S1,718 as compared with S3,4l6
for industrial workers.
HOME. When the figures are
analyzed, they drive home that
old, painful fact about per capita
income in North Carolina
To give a croSS-Section, - ma
jor income groups were listed. Of
the IL. there are very few work
erS in the top six income groups in
North Carolina. The groups earn
ing the largest incomes - weekly
incomes after taxes - are: factory
workers, auto workers, steelwork-
ers. Soft-coal miners. machinery
manufacturing workers and farm
implement workers. The lowest
six groups, in which are included
the bulk of the working people in
North Carolina, are: railroad
workers, school teachers, federal
employees, textile workers, cloth
ing workers and farm owners.
REVEALING The figures are
most revealing. The highest paid
in the - groups are the auto
workers, who have an average
weekly net income of S72.84. The
lowest are the farmers, who have
an average weekly net income of
only S37.24. The textile workers.
which make up a large section of
wage earners in North Carolina,
are the third lowest income group,
with an average weekly net in
come of S4662
Another revealing fact is that of
the 12 listed. all - with the ex-
ception of textile workers am d
farmers - have increased their
net income during the past five
years anywhere from two to three
dollars a week. Farmers are earn
ing an average of over five dollars
a week less now than they did five
years ago. Textile workers now
make about two dollars week
less than they did five years ago.
The school teachers have enjoyed
the largest increase. They make
about EIGHT dollars a week more
than in 1856. The second largest
gain has been made by the steel
workers. They make about seven
dollars a week more now than five
years ago.
TOTAL? When the total is add
ed up, it means that while the two
largest income groups in North
Carolina farmers and textile
workers - have taken sharp drops
in earnings, all others have en-
joyed increases.
Where the need for higher in
come lies is obvious. The means by
which these incomes can be in
creased, however, is one of the
most troublesome problems of the

Two Changes In Social
Security Law Proving
Hell lpfuI To Many People

Two changes in the social Sc
curity law, which became effective
January first of this year, are
proving helpful to many people
according to Joseph P. Walsh, Dis
trict Manager of the Gastonia So
cial Security Office.
If OVER AGE ~
First of all. if you are over
72 years of age, and eligible for
social security benefits, you can
work and receive your checks
every month, no matter h W
much you earn. Before January
Of this year, a person had to
reach IS before he could earn
any amount and still receive
monthly benefit checks.
IF UNDER AGE ~
The second change affects
people under 72 years of age
and eligible for social security
benefits. Starting January of
this year. a person drawing ben
efits can earn as much as $1,000
year and still receive social
security checks for all IL months
of the year. If you earn more
than $1,000 year, from any
type of work or self employment.
whether or not covered by So
cial security, some of the checks
for that year will not be pay
able. The number of checks you
may receive in a year depends
on two things: How much more
than $1,000 you earn and the
number of months you work.

VALIANT WORK

WASdlNC 1ON - washington
witnessed an unusual ceremony
during the past week when Mrs.
Jessie Taylor, of Southport. North
Carolina, was awarded the merit
orious service medal by the Unit
ed States Weather Bureau for her
highly intelligent and valiant
work during Hurricane Hazel.
Southport is one of the most
attractive places in North Caro-
lima or elsewhere. 1t is situated at
the mouth of the Cape Fear Riv-
er and is an important center
of the fishing industry.
For many generations the men
of Southport ''have gone down
to the sea in ships" AS a conse-
quence, the people of Southport
are well acquainted with the fury
and tragedy of an angry sea.
During last autumn the North
Carolina coast was lashed by
heavy seas and high gales in a
terrific storm, which has been
dubbed Hurricane Hazel. One can
appreciate the havoc wrought a
long the North Carolina coast
by Hurricane Hazel only if he
sees the resultant Wreckage.
LONG SERVICE
AS one who has been volun-
tary cooperative observer of the
United States Weather Bureau
for 55 of her rs years, Mrs. JeS-
sic Taylor has expert knowledge
of the tides and winds of the
Atlantic coast in the Southport
area. AS a result of such expert
knowledge. Mrs. Taylor was able
tc give advance warning of the
approach and course of Hurricane
Hazel. Her action in SO doing
undoubtedly resulted in the saw
ing of many lives.
Mrs. Taylor visited Washington
last week to receive the award
which she so justly merits. Her
charm and heroism captivated
all who were privileged to meet
this most gracious lady. All North
Carolina is proud of her.
The United States Weather
Bureau made an award at the
same time to Mr.. Reuben Frost,
the meterologist in charge of the
Wilmington Weather Bureau Of
flee, for his efficient work in con-
rection with Hurricane Hazel.
FIRST GROUP VISITS
During the past week Wash
ington witnessed the first of the
visits which school children from
ever the Nation make to the Ma
tons Capitol each year. These
visits are sure harbingerS OF
spring. We were delighted to re-
ceive the first group from North
Carolina. which consisted of 80
boys and girls from Central High
School at Charlotte. When one
is privileged to know the en-
thusiasm and the intelligence of
such boys and girls, he has con-
fidence that the future of our
country is in safe hands.
COMMITTEES BUSY
AS one of the Is members Of
the Senate Committee on Armed
Services, I spent most of the past
week being "briefed' by the
Secretaries of the Army and Ali
Force and the Chiefs of Staff
of these two branches of our ma
tional defense. 1t is like going tc
school again and hearing lee
lures. l must confess, however
that We spend many more hours
on Committee than student,
/ spend in school.
