Demos Have Axe Out
For Republican Jonos

No discussion of Congressional
prospects would be complete with
out mention of the battle of the
eiants shaping UP in the political
ly-hot Tenth District. with Neck
lenburg County as the focal point.
Ben E. Douglas has no opposi-
ton for the Democratic nominal
ton there The former Charlotte
mayor and, until recently. director
of the N c. Department of Con-
sevation and Development, is the
party's falrhaired son in the gem
eral election next November.
From Governor Luther Hodges
and State airman John
Larkins on down, the party axe
is out for Republican Charles
Raper Jonas of Lincolnton. This
is not surprising, in view of the
fact that Jonas is the only COP
Congressman in North Carolina.
This promises to be one of the
major political battlegrounds in
the state throughout the summer
and fall. Jonas's success in the
past has stemmed from the cross
ing Of party lines by thousands of
Democrats in the district to vote
for him.
1t is this jumping of the traces
which the Democrats hope to stop

and the shackles of human bond

There are in this nation. indi-

would silence the tongues. still the

others in order that they might
fulfill some personal greed.
If this trend is not halted, truth

There are many instances to
prove that this trend is gaining
ground. We see economic repris-
ais. coercion. intimidation. threats.
and harasSment against those who
would speak and live the truth,
and also against those who seek
the truth.
Admitted. il is difficult at times
to determine what IS the truth
and what is not. wever, it
should not be difficult to SPEAK
and WRITE the truth, once the
truth is found.
IN the State OF North Carolina.
We are confronted with confusing
results brought about by inGl-
yidaals and organizations who
would not abide with the whole
truth
We see organizations that have
told only half the trl.th ii order

individuals denying the truth in

As a result. our puolia school

These forces. plodding and plum

To stand afraid. neither defying

Expansion Of
Social Security
Is Favored

WASHINGTON - Lawyers and
dentists would be brought under
compuls sorry Social Security
through legislation approved by
the Senate Finance Committee
Tuesday.
In all. the committee voted to
extend coverage to 250,000 persons
now outside the system. mostly
self-employed. In addition to law
yers and dentists. the other groups
include optometrists. veterinarians
naturopaths and chiropractors.
Still others are about 10000
farm workers engaged in pro-
duction of turpentine and gum
naval stores and about 13,200
employees of the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority and Federal Home
Loan banks.
Tuesdays vote was tentative,
since two committee m m b I S
were absent and it is subject to
reconsideration. However. it was
expected to stand.
The Senate committee accepted
all the additional coverage voted
by the House last year except for
l0.00o-15, 900 osteopaths who were
included in the House bill.
Members said osteopaths asked
to be left out. just as medical doc
tors have.
The present Social Security tax
is , per cent each on employees
and employers and 3 per cent on
t,e Self-euaploved. on the first S4,-
zoo of annual income Under the
law as it stands. these rates will
increase automatically until in
1878 they Will be per cent each

the selt-employed.
The bill passed by the House
would increase the tax rate i'm
mediateiy to sis per cent each
on employees and employers and
TO S., per cent on the self-em
ployed.
The tax increases we're voted
by the House 10 pay for some ad-
diuonal benefits. which the ad-

TECHNICALITIES


Governmental bureaucracy has
been a topic of discussion since
the birth of the nation. l was i'm
pressed during the recent confer
enceS in connection with hulri-
cane damage in North Carolina
With the fact that some of the
governments lawyers must stay
up all night trying to figure out
how to complicate simplicity. l
got that impression from the
p.eeting With Secretary Weeks and
his attorney on damage to the
highways in our State. There was
simple technicality that the
Secretary apparently knew should
Lot stand in the way of granting
certain FUNDS. 1t is this type of
bureaucratic stalling that takes
SO much time in Washington. But
things usually work out in due
course to the satisfaction of all
concerned if the cause is legiti-
mate.
DELEGATION
l am looking forward to the Ma
t:onal Rivers and Harbors Con-
gless in Washington. The North
Carolina delegation under the CO.
Craftsmanship of Mr. E L. White,
former Mayor of Wilmington. and
Mayor George W. Dill, Jr., OF
Morehead City, will have dinner
on the evening of May 9. Our state
is vitality concerned with rivers
and harbors legislation, and this
is an opportunity for unified ac-
ton on our needs. You will be in
terested in following the action Of
the meeting in Washington. The
North Carolina delegation is made
up of some of the most enlighten-
ed and interested people on prob
lens and needs of rivers and har-
bors. Their contribution to the
development of our State is far
more important than l can detail
here. These delegates deserve a
yot OF appreciation for their un-
selfish contribution.
