Last week the folks in Washington
—like everywhere else in the nation—
were interested in politics. The pre
ferential primary in Minnesota show-I
ed again the strong personal popular
ity of General Eisenhower, as well as
the unpopularity of 'President Tru
man.
Wednesday, Senator Hoey and I
drove down to Raleigh for the annual
banquet of the North Carolina Citi
zens Association. Mr. Hoey made the
principal speech—and was presented
the association’s annual award for
citizenship. I had the pleasure of
making the presentation.
There was a pleasant surprise for
everybody present. Senator Richard
Russell of Georgia had been invited
to attend, but becaii.se of the press
of duties in Washington, had not been
able to accept. At the last- minute,
however, he found he was able to
come, so he flew down for the occas
ion, and returned to Washington the
same night.
To say that those present were en
thusiastic about Senator Russell, and
his candidacy for the Presidency,
would be a matter of understatement.
I am all the more convinced that if
the South sticks together, and wages
a strong fight, we can win the -Demo
cratic nomination for Senator Rus
sell. And if he is nominated, I feel
he can be elected. I hope that our
people will bear in mind that Sena
tor Russell is not merely a sectional
V candidate, but who can -and will prop
erly represent the entire nation with
great ability and harmony.
The People Speak
While I was in Raleigh, hundreds of
people spoke to me about the affairs
of government. They are sick of high
taxes, high spending, and low morals
in government.
I did not hear a single person ex
press the opinion that he was satis
fied with things as they were.
School Children
We are having more and more
groups of school children visit us, now
that Spring is opening up. I was
pleased to see groups from high
schools at Sunbury and ‘Cary recently.
I want to renew my invitation to
all North Carolinians to come to see
us when they’re in Washington. We’ll
be glad to provide you with passes
to the Senate chamber and assist you
in any way possible while you’re here.
Letters 'From Home
Our mail from North Carolina is
steadily increasing and most of it
demonstrates interest in government.
People are, it seems to me, wanting
to know the true facts, rather than
continue to absorb the propaganda be
ing distributed by the thousands of
press agents on the government.

people wanted to know -more about it
—and why both -Senator Hoey and I
voted against it.
This plan, as I have told you, was
nothing more than a whitewash job, I
designed to counteract the public re-|

rocked the Revenue Bureau in recentj
months. The President said that the
plan would take the bureau “out of

! true. The civil service is full of poli
tics. One of the three commissioners
J of the bhreau—appointed by the Presi
- dent, mind you—is Miss Frances Per
kins, former Secretary of Labor, who
has been a politician all her adult
| life. So have the other two members,
| even though they’re not quite so well
known.
| All three are supporters of the Tru
man policies. They -will have the fin
al say in selection of officials who
from now on will collect your taxes.
Typical Letter
One letter from a civil service work
er was typical of many I received.
He wrote to say that -Senator Hoey
and I are right about the Civil Ser
vice Commission. For example, he
wrote: “The -preference employee is
assured he will be retained in spite
of poor perfor.narice. Unfortunately
it ds not possible for the conscientious,
loyal career civil service employee to
do -anything about this situation.”
In other words, if a civil service
employee has the approval of the
“gang” then he will never lose his job, I
no matter how inefficient or lazy he •
is.
As you probably read last week, j
it recently cost the government a!
half-million dollars to fire just one I
civil service official who had been!
appointed because of his connection
with the right gang.
And yet the propaganda experts
convinced a great many people that
President Truman was proposing a
great and noble thing!

Spring Cleanup On
Farms Being Urged
Carelessness Cause of
Hospitalizing One Out
Os Five Accidents
Giving your farm a spring cleanup
Iwill make it much safer as well as
! much more attractive, says C. W. Ov
| erman, county farm agent for the
J State College Extension Service.
He points out that tools, bags of
I feed, buckets, and just common debris
] and trash are responsible for hospita
; lizing one out of every five accident
I victims on the farm. This was shown
by a study conducted by the National
Safety ‘Council.
The largest single cause of -injhr-1
ies, other than the personal factor of,
poor judgment, is disorder.
To play safe, the farmer should
! correct such hazards as broken, wob- j
I bly steps which might cripple someone
for life; tottery old buildings that
sometimes cause serious injuries; un
i marked bottles of poison, and poisons
left within the reach of children -which j
often cause tragedies; accumulations
of trash, paper, scattered boxes and
boards, rags and rubbish which a-*? !
serious fire hazards and ideal brced
iing places for rats.
“Springtime,” says the county
< agent, “is nature’s cleanup time, a '
'time when the earth takes on a new.;
■ refreshed look. Let’s help nature by |
[•cleaning up around the farm and in 1
| the farm home, which will not only
' give -the farm a new look but will
make it a safer and easier place for
working and living.”
He adds that if every farm family
would conduct a spring cleanup cam
paign, both inside and out, it would
go a long way toward eliminating
fire and accident hazards, providing
a more healthful environment, and
conserving food which is badly needed
all over the world.
