Preyer Gives Up Choice losition
As F ederal Judge F or Primary Try
By EULA N. GREENWOOD
SURE THING? ... In many
respects the best Job in North
Carolina * not that of U S
Representative (you have to run
every two years for re-election! ;
or U. S. Senator (the work is
killing and you must run every
mx years); or any of the Council
of State Jobs (the pay is small
and voters must be faced each
four years); and is not that of
Governor (four years and you
have had it? in more ways than
one).
The Very Best Job in this State
is that of Federal Court Judgt.
It pays neaity as much as that
ef Genrernor ($22,500, etc., as
against $25,000, etc), carries
mack prestige, and runs far a
lifetime. They jaat ain't many of
them jeba left aa mare. Mat tie.
But Federal Judge Richardson
Preyer it voluntarily giving up
his harcHy-warm Judge's seat in
which he could sit until the cows
come home in order to run for
Governor.
Talk about selling! Talk about
giving the bird to that old saw
about a bird in the hand being
worth two in the huab! Preyer
must have received some right
sharp promises in order to make
the sacrifice. And, who is able
to make such promises that a
man will gladly step down from
? Federal judgeship?
BAD FEELING ... One of the
greatest things Bert Bennett
Winston-Salem bad going for him
mas that so many good Demo
crats feH they were his personal
friends. They loved "old Bert,"
were looking for an opportunity
to oo to bat tor him.
Bat when Bennett decided to
?top dm, they vera net ens
ealled, an* their feeling* were
hart. Then, ?*en he toned to
Prtyrr ? again althsnl asking
their opinion - they were tart
again.
So, even though Bert Bennett
to the aame man he was aix
months ago, mnummnn n that he
has loat literally thousands of
h' tends because be did not confer
with more of them before awfclag
such quick, tar -reaching de
cisions.
"Ours ant to reason wfty? ours
but to do or die" seems to be he
feeling.

FEAR OF FAILURE? ...?
begins to look at, if the two beat
known men in the State Charles
Jonas of the Republican Party
and Dr. I. Beverty Lake of the
Democrats? may not run for
Governor.
Lake is. frankly, havlag triakli

To have ? suocessfol program,
he would 'want to have In the
1965 General Assembly a mini
mum of 80 men in the House and
X in tbe Senate. Wfcfle there is
trouble in the Democratic Party,
we seriously doubt there is that
much traMe.

Democrats with Dr. L Beverly
Lake aa the candidate. This la
being talked ? little. StrM*er
And U. S. Senator Strom Thur
mond of South Carolina did some
thing simitar successfully in that
State to ttM South of us several
years ago.
And m for switching parties,
that's m modern -as - tomorrow.
Aa, for example, that darling of
the Democrats, Wayne Morse of
Oregon, only a few years ago
was a most repugnant Republi
can.
WHAT IS ITT ... At least one
soUd-as-a-vock organization, the
N. C. Ctiseos Association, seems
to see trouble ahead, in the edi
torial pages of Its publication,
"We The People." See If you
agree with Editor Lloyd Griffin,
veteran N. C. political leader.
. . None can fail to note
that a great angry murmur has
spread ?wwg the common peo
ple against something in the po
litical scheme of things. What is
it? One hears that it too much
tarnation; or too much Integra
tion; or too much 'government
by boy scouts'; or something
about there being a hot line set
up between Washington and la
Mgh; or that the common run
of State employees have been
two-timed.

"Those Democratic leaders who
?till score the idea of any family
reunions except such as will serve
their own selfish interests could
wake up and find themselves
right short of kinfoks in the next
general election."
NOTES . . . Announcement of
two big State buildings on either
side of the Legislative Building
should be made any day now . . .

weekly papers? in HiHeboro, Soot

come out for Richardson Preyer

lotte Observer is writing some
very favorable editorials for
"Rich Preyer."
MILITARY PAT RAISE
The signing of the Military
Pay Bill if the biggest pay
raise in history to most of
America's sen ice men and wo
men. The pay boost will date
from October 1st
Many officers and enlisted
men in their middle pay grades
would get raises and these are
the men who are at the point
where they usually decide eith
er to make a career of the arm
ed forces or for civilian life.
While low-ranking men and wo
men despite the bill, would
have to continue looking for
outside jobs.
