Senator Scott
reports
from WASHINGTON

Developments during tho ~.e+
week show very clearly that emo
tlon has overcome reason in the
civil rights issue now before Con-
gTess.
This happens from time to time
on legislation of various sorts, but
in the case of civil rights a very
dangerous precedent was set in
the Senate last Thursday.
By the close vote of As to 80.
the Senate decided to send the
civil rights bill passed by the
House directly to the calendar. In
other words, normal committee
consideration was denied, and in
the process the many months of
work spent on the legislation by
the Senate Judiciary COMMITTEES
was thrown out the window.
In ordinary legislative proceed
ure, such a practice is unheard OF
and is very dangerous way
doing business concerning the
making of laws of the land.
1t was very obvious that Vice
President Nixon was playing the
rankest sort of politics v her
ruled to bypass committee consi-
deration. And the vote backing W
the ruling was evidence enough to
show anyone that the Eisenhowc,
Administration is pulling out all
stops to capture the big-city vote
in the hope Of winning control Of
Congress raxt year.
The civil rights Issue arses
enough controversy and emotion
itself without adding fuel TO the
fire with OF! and-out political ex-
pedielcy.

Administration will undoubtedly

CRIME DETECTION WORK \
OF SHERIFF PRAISED
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
For years I have been hearing
criticism of the Dare County sheriff
and his department as the result of
occasional break-ins on the beach
and of the purported inability eth
er to prevent such robberies or to
catch the culprits.
Recently, for the first time,
had occasion to closely observe
Sheriff Frank Cahoon's activities
with respect to a series of break
ms at Southern Shores, and ! have
been greatly impressed with the
methods he has employed.
Less than an hour after the first
series of break-ins here was re-
ported to the sheriff's office in
Manteo, Mr.. Cahoon had not only
reached the scene but had secured
fingerprints and other evidence
which /, as layman, would have
overlooked. When a second series
of break-ins was reported, his re-
sponse was equally fast and his ac-
tivities as efficient. 1t seems to me
that we are fortunate to have the
services of a sheriff's department
well trained in the use of modern
crime detection methods and equip
ment, especially since the geogra-
ply of our beach area makes crime
prevention difficult, thus putting a
heavier burden on crime detection.
That the particular individuals
involved in these crimes apparently
have been caught is incidental to
the fact that others will be deter
red by the knowledge that efficient
law enforcement officers, employ
ing modern equipment, are, con-
stantly on the job. 1 feel that this
acknowledgement of our debt to
Sheriff Cahoon should be made pub
lie.
Very truly yours,
y DAVID STICK
