An adjournment hangover
certain to cause congressional
headaches and haSsleS next
year swirls around so-called
"backdoor spending" and
Senate-H House conference COM
mittee power to expand bills
previously passed by both
branches.
The problem involving those
issues remained unsolved and
almost overshadowed in the
House hit-and-run play that
forced a frustrated Senate to
go home at 6:16 am. Septem-
Der 81. Also involved we're I'M
answered questions about prec-
edent as well as frank and
open parliamentary practice.
The bill that triggered the
blow-up supplied supplement
tary funds for various Federal
agencies and programs for the
current fiscal year which be-
gan last July /. The House
originally voted about $573
million and the Senate a little
over 81 billion. Both versions
permitted financing of four
programs through Treasury
borrowing instead of direct ap-
preparation.
Provisions of Bill
AS sent to the House at 2:30
am. at the closing session by
a joint conference committee,
the bill carried a total of
$1,126,0 100000. 1t also carried
a ban on using money for ad-
ministrative expenses lin con-
nection with loans and partici-
pations financed or to be fl
nanced with funds borrowed
from the Secretary of the
Treasury"
This prohibition specifically
affected laws enacted earlier
this year for area redevelop-
ment, mass transportation,
low-income housing, demon
Stration programs and open
space grants.
The Treasury financing
authorization method, en-
ployed in many other instances
during the last 80 years, came
under increasingly heavy at
tack in the House this year.
The procedure, often at
tackled by conservatives of
both parties as "backdoor
spending" was not even men,
toned in debate before the
House finally adjourned at
4:2l am. But the Senate
promptly bounced on the con-
ference compromise" provi-
sion.
Senate Ire Aroused
The score of Senators still
in the chamber at the time
(4:30 ann were angry over
many things, especially the
haste of the House to pass the
final adjournment resolution
before giving the Senate a
fighting chance to reject or
force revision of the supple
mental appropriation bill.
Senators also were irked by
House refusal to allow funds
for additional Senate clerical
help while getting Junk mail
Thanking privileges for men,
bers of Congress.
The lively last-fling discus
sion before the Senate finally
gave up at dawn showed that
Senators differed greatly
among thems selves as tc
whether the "backdoor spend
ing" ban:
Was good or bad; weakened
or %made more efficient the
four programs Immediately af-
fected; set a precedent fol-
similar and more sweeping
bans in the future or merely
slammed instead of locked the
door against such spending.
Debate likewise displayed
differences of opinion as to the
propriety if not the power of q
conference committee to &C

lima and Telegraph Company was
installed on Wednesday, May 8 in
the new offices of DR.. Robert Z.
Sandy at sos East Twelfth Street

The first call on the newly in

be installed in Washington-tht
location of the first direct distance
dialing installation in North Caro-.
lima"
Carolina Telephone Vice Presi-
dent j. F. Ravens, in Washington
to witness the installation, said
that event marked a significant
milestone in the history of eastern
North Carolina communications. He
noted that fifty-two yearh We're re.
quired for the company to attain
its 10O,0Oth telephone (installed al
Rocky Mount in 1882; while only
nine years were required for the
company to gain its second 100000
telephones.
Thus, in the past nine years, the
number of telephones in our ser
vice area has more than doubled.
"This is Indicative" Ravens said
"of the tremendous growth of east
ern North Carolina in recent years
and reflects the increased demand
for telephone service which has ac-
companied this development"
Washington and the surrounding
area have kept pace with the pro-
gress recorded recently throughout
eastern North Carolina. This car
be seen in the fact that at the
end of 1910, there were about l..
600 telephones here. By 1850 these
had increased to slightly more than
2,7OO; while today the Washington
exchange provides service to about
1850 telephones.
Guests of DR.. Sandy during the
installation, in addition to Vice
President Ravens, were: Carolina

FOR SEEKERS OF GOOD
FOOD ON OUTER BANKS
By AYCOCK BROWN

The coast of Dare here on the
Outer Banks of North Carolina has
long been famous for its history

ling from fresh water bass to giant
blue marlin, and for the natural
surroundings and scenes, climate
and hospitality in general that one
discovers here.
In recent years, however, the
Outer Banks region has not won
much acclaim for the food that was

cles? Most of the vacationers will
make the discovery when they stop
for breakfast, dinner or supper
in some of the restaurants and
