The first procession pow-wov
at the White House tomorrow
will include only the Republican
leaders, and will deal primarily
with the Presidents program o.
domestic legislation.
The second meeting, Tuesday
afternoon, will be a bipartisan
gathering, at which the ad.
ministration will review thu
world situation and national de.

On the domestic side, the
major issues of the session are

Farm Fireworks
The administration may moi
have any major farm legislation
to propose. but the Democrats
in Congress are almost certain
TO continue to shoot at the
policies of Agriculture Secretary
Benson.
Democrats and Republicans
were unable to agree at the last
session on a Federal program
for development of atomic ener-
gy power plants, and this strug-
gle probably will be renewed. A
Senate bill authorizing the
Atomic Energy Commission to
start a $40O million program for
development Of such power
plants was blocked in the House
last summer.
Early in the new session the
House will be asked to consider
an expected administration re-
quest for another one-year ex-
tension of existing corporation
and excise tax rates. which are
slated to go down April /, unless
extended.
With world conditions as they
are, requiring continued heavy
defense spending. extension oi
these tax rates is regarded as
a foregone conclusion. AS the Law
now stands. the corporation in
come rate would drop from 81
to AZ per cent, and the excise
levies would go back to the pre-
Korean war level.
II New Faces
When the gavels fall at noon
Thursday there will be AZ new
faces among the 433 House men,
bers waiting to be sworn in. Two
seats have been left vacant by
deaths since election day. This
gives the Democrats control by
is votes more than the bare
majority Of 2l8. But on many
important issues. where party
lines are crossed, the division

In fact, Republican Leader
Martin believes President Eisen-
hower's personal popularity with
the voters viii win him sub
'stantial Democratic support for
much Of his program.
The Democrats will start the
session in control OF the Senate
by the same tenuous margin as
in the last session-49 TO ~.
There will be nine new faces
in that chamber. although all
OF them may not be on hand
the first day.
Two OF the most prominent
and respected figures in the re-
cent history Of the Senate will
be missing Thursday. They are
the veteran Democrat. Senator
George Of Georgia. and Republi-
can Senator Millikin Of Colo

ment of American intentions
would have much the same de-
terrent effect in cooling Russian
ambition.
Direct Russian military action
which would automatically in
volve nations belonging to the
Baghdad Pact Qran, Iraq, Tur-
key, Pakistan and Britain) is be-
lieved unlikely. However, the
possibility of a "leapfrog" opera
ton into Egypt. Syria. Jordan OF
Yemen is considered a real dan
ger.
The measures which are pro-
posed to meet this threat reflect
the gravity with which admins
tration leaders view the situa-
ton. In the opinion Of its au-
thors, the present plan amounts
to momentous step, committing
the United States to the defense
of an area where it is not now
committed. What makes it nec-
essary is the lively conviction
thet loss of the Middle East to
Russian control would ultimately
lead to the loss of Western Eu-
rope to communism.
Other Need Seen
In addition, 1t is felt urgently
necessary to correct any i'm
preston which may have been
created In recent weeks that the
United States has adopted a
purely pacifist attitude toward
the danger of Communist pene-
tration into the Middle East.
American opposition to Brit
ish and French intervention in
Egypt did not reflect any differ
ence in the evaluation of the
Communist threat. 1t reflected
simply the belief that the British
and French method of dealing
with this threat were wrong and,
as it turned out, have actually
increased the danger of Russian
action.
In fact, the sudden decrease Of
British and French influence in
the area resulting from the fall
ure of the Suez experiment is
one of the chief reasons for the
new American move. Partly be-
cause of the newly-aroused hos
tility Of the Arab states and
partly because of the economic
plight in which Britain and
France now find themselves,
their ability to control the sit
uation is believed to have been
largely sacrificed.
The present situation is being
compared to that of Greece and
Turkey in 1947 when Britain.
in economic difficulty. withdrew
from the area and the Truman
Plan was rushed into being as
a bulwark against communism.
Now that Britain and France
have largely lost their capa-
bilities in the Middle East, it
is felt vitality important that
the United States should make
clear that it intends to interest
itself in the area in a very sub
stantial and serious way.
Limits Are Cited
There are, at the same time,
certain limits to this American
action. While offering defensive
military support to the Baghdad
Pact nations. it is considered

his departure from the chair
manship of the Foreign Rela-
tons Committee will deprive the
Eisenhower administration of q
powerful voice in presenting its
foreign policy to Congress. Sena-
tor George welded a strong in
fluence with his colleagues, and
usually supported the admins
tration on international matters.
Senator Green, Democrat OF
Rhode Island. who is in line for
the Foreign Relations chairman
ship. has prepared himself well
for the task by a number of trips
to various parts of the world in
recent years. Despite his SO
years. Senator Green is one of
the most vigorous and active
members of the Senate. He still
walks to the Capitol from the
University CLUB several times a
week.
Five other Senators with
shorter tenureS are leaving this
year. They are Senators Lehman
of New York and Clements of
Kentucky, Democrats, and Ben.
der of Ohio, Duff of Pennsyl-
vania and Welker Of Idaho, Re-

Opening Day Fight
The openin-day rules fight to
curb fllibustering is tied closely
to the civil rights issue. Advo-
Gates of that legislation fear they
will never be able to bring it to
a. vote until they can change the
rule which requires 64 votes
two-thirds of the entire member
ship-to curb debate
If they fail to change this rule
on opening day. the fight for a
civil rights program will switch
to the Judiciary Committee,
where the administration is ex-
pected to renew its advocacy of
a series of bills which would:
Permit use OF the Injunction
process in the civil courts to
protect the voting rights of all
citizens; create commission to
hear civil rights complaints, and
provide for a civil rights divi-
sion in the Justice Department,
headed by an Assistant Attorney
General.
Each Of the two parties has a
vacancy to fill on Judiciary, and
the selections made will have a
bearing on committee action on
civil rights.
May Be Possible
Some Senators believe that
even If the rules are not liberal
lied. 1t may be possible this
year to get the 64 votes required
to curb debate and force a deci-
sion on civil rights.
The House is expected to or
ganize in routine fashion by re-
electing Speaker Sam Rayburn
and other officials in both par
ties. Mr.. Rayburn has already
set record by serving as Speak
er since 1910. except for two
short periods of Republican con-
troll in 1947-l948 and i953-l954.
Representative Martin. who was
Speaker in those years. will be
back on the Job as Republican
Leader.
In the Senate party leadership
also will continue in the hands
Of Senator johnson Of Texas on
the Democratic side, and Senator
Knowland Of California for the
Republicans.
Senator Hayden. Democrat of
Arizona. who succeeds Senator
George as dean In length Of
service. also will be elected to

JONES ALWAYS PAYS THE FREIGHT.

One of the hardest things get the average person
to remember is that the ultimate is the who
pays all taxes We read of tax being imposed manu-
acures producers of merchandise at the and
give little thought to the fact that this is actually tax
ourselves We read where the Federal Government has i'm
incomes and think that is fine since having to
pay income taxes but ought to kick ourselves for not
remembering that these also will be really paid by
for the fellows higher up will pass them down in the
increased cost of goods we buy
Our people went the air three years ago upon
reading that the Federal Government about to impose
sales tax all of when went to the store to buy
something When the President discounted this suggestion
but admitted the possibility of national tax manufac
trer and everybody happy But amounts to the
thing for the pays and whenever manufacture
taxed the tax passed along to in the increased
cost of goods.
Our dollars bring us less and less each year at the
stores We paying concealed taxes Everyone know
of against all the time due to the shrinking
value of income. Too few of public figures thinking
of the little fellow We must keep in mind and don't
get it, matter what anyone tells you the JONES'
pays the freight.

The Real Winner

Phelps Lake fire of last year. As
it turned out, however, only two
acres of company land was severe
ly burned over.
Driving Wells For
Fire Suppression
Experimental work is now UNI
derway on company lands of N,
C. woodlands in the use of driven
wells as a source of water, for
fighting ground burning fires.
Shallow wells using portable
equipment have been driven at
various points in Dare County with
the thought of developing new
techniques in forest fire suppress
sion. The procedure is to drive
we'll points into sandy sub-soil to
which pumps are connected. Objec-
tive of the work is to develop a
portable and rapid source of water
away from roadside canals to aid
in extinguishing ground fires.
The experimental work has as
it objective determining the effec-
tiveness and feasibility of surface
drainage in saturated peat areas.
Six miles of bitches have been laid
out in the area and construction
of bitches is being done by a
Mathis fire pillow towed by an
HD-5 tractor. Most difficult part
of the job will be to finish bitches
at intersections and in areas skip
ped by the plows.
1t is interesting to note that
last years plantation in this ex-
perimental area is reported to have
81 percent survival.
Are Riches Hidden in
Forest of Bamboo?
Because some people are saying
that bamboo is better than slash
pine for paper, there may be rich
es hidden in potential forests of
this plant in years to come.
A bamboo garden near Savan-
nah which the Federal govern
ment has reluctantly supported
for the past several years may
prove to be valuable source of
raw material for the industry. A
climber bamboo" in the gardens
collection is capable of yielding
more raw material for paper pro-
duction than slash pine, now the
backbone of the South's industry,
according to a recent article.

possibilities of bamboo in the pa
