Report From Sen.
Seotts Office
BY BILL WHITLEY
Press Secretary To Sen. Scott

Press secretary 10 Sen. Scout
.~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~
WASHINGTON - How do you
! feel about the development of the
Antarctic Continent? If you have
any views on the subject, a GER
tain lady in Washington, Miss
Elizabeth Kendall. would like to
know about them. She is one of
some 700 lobbyists currently re-
giStered with Congress. Like Miss
Kendall, all of the lobbyists have
special projects they are working
/ on.
Hundreds of organizations re-
tain agents in Washington the
year around to bring influences
to play on members of Congress.
Many of these groups maintain
big offices with large StaffS of
experts.
LEADERS. There are several
lobbying groups that are masters
when it comes to influencing law
makers. They leave no stone un-
turned in letting congressman
know exactly what they want. In
many cases they provide very
helpful and essential information
on pending legislation.
Probably the richest of all lob
bying groups is the National As
sociation of Manufacturers, which
plays effective roles in influenc-
ing legislation on taxes and other
important economic issues. An
other wealthy and effective group
that works along the same lines
as N. A. NJ. is the U. S. Chamber
of Commerce, a group that swings
a big stick when it comes to in
fluence.
OPPONENTS. In many legisla-
tive fights, such wealthy groups as
the AFL and CIO labor groups
fight proposals that are supported
by NAM and the Chamber of
Comerce, and vice versa. Both the
AFL and CIO keep large staffs in
Washington to carry their fight
for organized labor.
In recent years, farm groups
have become some of the most
Influential lobbying groups in the
capital. The Grange. the Farm
Bureau and the National Farmers
Union all have lobby organiza-
tionS working full-time to mold
legislation to their liking.
STRUGGLE. The large lobbl-
ing groups have almost unlimited
financial resources to back up the
arguments for or against legisla-
ton in which they are interested.
There are smaller groups that
struggle constantly for their cause
with very few funds. In many
cases it amounts to an individual
fighting for what he thinks is
right.
The lobby records show some
interesting cases:

IGNORANCE

Public education is the indi-
spenSable basis of North Caro-
lina'S progress. This. has been
true in the past so years; 1t will
be true in the future. The stead
lily and swiftly mounting increase
in the number of children to be
educated calls for more invest
ment by the state in education,
not less.
Charles Carroll, state superin-
tendent of public instruction,
states that North Carolina S
standing in public education a
mong the list of states of the ma
ton is as follows:
Sixth: In the per cent of ele-
mentary school teachers with less
than four years of college pre-
paration.
Seventh: In its efforts to pay
percent which, total school eX
penditureS from state and local
sources was of average income
payments
Thirty third: Average salaries
of classroom teachers.
Forty first: In its efforts to
ray according to average cur
merit expenditure per pupil for
public education from state and
local sources.
Forty first: Average value of
school property per pupil.
Forty-second: Per cent of re-
jections for failing to pass the
armed forces qualification test.
Forty third: Per cent of popu-
lation 25 years of age and older
with less than five years of
schooling.
Forty fourth: Teacher load
(school-age children per 1000
wage earning adults.
Forty fifth: Ability to pay (ac-
cording to income payments per
capita).
In brief, we try hard, on a low
per capita income, to have good
public schols, but we do not have
enough available money from
public sources to foot the bill for
good schools. Our teachers have
a higher average of preparation
