SENATE OKAYS GAS PROBE The Senate Interstate and Fore ign Commerce Committee, of which I am a member and in which I asked for a resolution last week to investigate the increased price of gasoline, is now ready to go forward " with this investigation. The Senate has approved an app ropriation of $50,000 to carry out the probe on why the price of gasoline was increased by one cent per gallion. The Committee i^ authorized to “investigate and make a com plete study of any and all mat ters pertaining to the product ion for sale or use in interstate commerce” of petroleum products. In the resolution approved by the Senate, four purposes are stated for the investigation: 1. To Prevent serious economic dislocation. 2. To provide for the proper conservation and most effective use of petroleum products. 3. To protect commerce among the States in petroleum products. 4. And to me the most import ant—To protect the consumers of petroleum products from the burdens and harmful effects bro ught about as a result of the operations of companies engaged in the petroleum business. I beleive this investigation will enable us to find out whether there have been any activities going on which are not in the public interest and whether there have, been undue and unreason able increases on the price of gasoline which you, as purchasers, have had to bear. CIVIL RIGHTS FIGHT Another matter of importance to our people took place on Wed nesday in a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee. I refer to the efforts of Senator Henn ings of Missouri, chairman of the subcommittee, to get approval of a motion to give a favorable report on some so-called civil rights bills. By a vote of 5 to^, the subcommittee defeated this effort to report the bills to the full Judiclacry Committee. The sub committee then voted 4 to 3 again st limiting hearings on the civil rights bills to two weeks duration. The result of all this activity is that the chairman could sch edule a time to begin the hearings, but he could not fix in advance a time when the subcommittee would have to stop and vote on the bills. As of now, that is another vic tory on the side of real constit utional government and over the efforts of federal civil rights to impose new laws on our people which would make it possible for the Federal Government to interfere with the rights of the States to police their own affairs. We will have to expect many more battles on this subject. FORT JACKSON HOSPITAL Since my last report, I am happy to say progress has been made toward securing a perman ent 500-bed hospital for Fort Jackson at Columbia. The Secre tary of the Army has now en dorsed the larger hospital and the Department of Defense has informed me that it will also approve the plan. This means that an i additional appropriation of $6,000,000 will be needed to add to the $5,000,- 000 which was appropriated last year for a smaller 250-bed hosp ital. I am quite hopeful that action will be taken by the Con gress this year to provide the additional funds for this worthy project. PLAN V A HOSPITAL WORK Veterans in the area will also be glad to learn of a program to renovate and improve the Vet erans Administration Hospital near Columbia. The V A has in formed me that it will submit a request to the Bureau of the Budget, and with approval of that agency, to the Congress for an appropriation of $510,000 to do the work. Improvements would include: expansion of laboratory, x-ray and clinic facilities; provision of a group of surgical recovery beds; modernization of the operating suite; dining room and kitchen renovations; a new emergency- room entrance; expansion of a space for oxygen storage, sterile supplies and storage of patient’s clothes and hospital records. I hope it will be possible to push thru this program at this session of the congress. High Cotton Supports Urged Our cotton farmers will be in terested to know that Agriculture Secretary Benson plans to an nounce the price support levels for the 1957 cotton crop in the near future. I have urged that the Secretary increase the support price from 82 1-2 to 90 per cent of parity. He has authority to set the support level between 90 and 75 per cent of parity. r\ ESPITE the fact that virtuaHj all species of game am much less plentiful than during tha days of our forefathers, more and more Americans (currently 12 or IS million or more) have taken to the sport of hunting. At first thought, it would seem that this is a sufficient number to completely eradicate every rabbit, bob white, squirrel, and all else form one tip of the country to the other. Without closed hunting sea sons, game laws, refuges and other protective measures there would certainly be cause for much alprm. Our animals and birds, al ready squeezed into limited areas by the encroachment of our great civilization would be in dire peril But we shall have game to hunt for many, many years to come. Our State and Federal wildlife or ganizations have been doing re markable work in various parts of the country. They are able to spot trouble * areas and through closed seasons, restocking and other ac tivities preserve and reestablish hunting programs in badly de pleted areas. Of as much concern as exhaus tion of our game supply is the fact that the constantly increasing number of hunters are putting additional pressures on available hunting lands. Hunters must have a place to hunt, and just as the number of hunters are continual ly increasing, so is the amount of available hunting land decreas ing. As our population continues to grow, it is reasonable to assume that more lands will be closed to hunting by the trend to subur ban and rural living, by new areas turned to farmlands and by “posted” signs unless hunters and 4 farmers can establish a solid working agreement. It may be that the day will come when hunting will be limited to areas owned and so designated by the government but such is a long time yet.

HARPER WINTER OF DISCONTENT A N AUTHOR has written of the - “winter of discontent.” Cer tain it is that we are accustomed to think of winter as trying and difficult We speak of bitter weath er, of ice and snow and of frozen solitudes. But let us not overlot* the joys that come with the season and the great days it brings — of Chirstmas with holy thoughts of the coming of Christ and the re newed hope of peace and a bet ter world, of New Year with its thoughts of brighter days to come, and then of the days when all the family has been gathered togeth er as on no other days of the year. Then let us thank God for the freezing weather that brings the loved ones together. And give much time to commun ion with the Heavenly Father and to thought of your great part in the world around you. Instead of the winter of discontent, winter can be the blessed time to renew one’s strength and become strong for the tasks that shall come with the days ahead. L. A. Krell Dies in Orangeburg .
