PAGE SIXTEEN WASHINGTON —I have heard many favorable Comments among members of Congress about the by Sen ator Russell in Raleigh at the Jeffer son-Jackson Day dinner. And Sena tor Russell, in turn was gratified at the reception given him in North ffrunlina i thought Senator Russell made an excellent speech. He not only is a fine, gentleman, but a great Democrat ■who feels that the principles of the Democratic Party, rather than some of its personalities, are much more im portant for the good of the nation as well as for the good of the South. He feels, as do many other good Democrats in North Carolina, that we should follow faithfully the principles of the Democratic Party which has done so much for North Carolina dur ing the last half century and more. Senator Russell has had little to say about the Democratic National Com mittee candling the nationwide radio hookup which originally had been planned for his speech. The hookup was cancelled allegedly because of the fact that he was going to say something about Southerners sticking together and following up our de mands that the South, which has giv en the Democratic Party its greatest strength, should have more to say about forming the party’s national policies. However, it does appear that some of the ultra-liberals and left-wing elements in the party are reaching the conclusion that, after all, the Democratic Party is big enough for differences of opinion on many mat teas without the necessity of allow ing any one element to disrupt the party’s progress in the future. I be lieve the Democrats have a good chance to recapture the House at the next election, and possibly the Sen ate, if we can keep down petty squab bles within the party and work to gether for the greatest good to the greatest number of American citi zens. ______ HARD TO GET •Sometime ago, when I was in Ra leigh, Dr. Henry Jordan, the State Highway chairman, mentioned to me the State’s efforts to obtain a sur plus Navy amphibious ship to be used as a ferry at Oregon Inlet. Not just any amphibious vessel will do. In fact, about the only craft that will be satisfactory is known as an LCJU (landing craft, utility). And that happens to be the one craft which ds not in surplus. The Navy sometime ago contracted for the construction of some additional UCU’s. /We have consulted with Navy au thorities repeatedly an an effort to find one of these vessels for Ore gon Inlet. The Interior Department has joined in the effort. Perhaps, before too long, we shall be success ful. Certainly, ferry service is sore ly needed at Oregon Inlet. REDS IN SCHOOL I was astonished to note recently that Senator Taft had stated that, in effect, he didn’t think a professor ought to be dismissed “merely be cause” the professor happens to be a Communist. I doubt that very many school folks in North Carolina would agree with 'Senator Taft on that point. North Carolina has been remarkably free of Communistic activities in its schools and colleges—but that is by no means the case in some of the Northern and Eastern states where Communists have made a determined drive to infiltrate the school's. !Som e of them contend that every body in the academic world should be above suspicion—in fact, above the law —and should be allowed to teach [ml OCLOCK DISTILLED j LONDON I DRY | GIN ft pun $|, ° PH 4/1 quart lftgOtila ***n£*.u nmr-” "*• I H IWWH'Hj " v • I SiiiiiimM !

I certainly do not subscribe to that suggestion, and I think that educators in general ob ject to that suggestion. It seems to me that the more in fluential leaders in education should join with Congress in a careful, fair and dispassionate study and investi gation of Communists in education. If we all work together, then we can eliminate the extremists who would point their fingers accusingly at every educator. GOLD STAR WIVES A few nights ago I spoke before an interesting group of ladies here who are members of an organization known as the Gold Star Wives. As the organization’s name implies, each of these ladies is a war widow. They are devoting their interests to promoting patriotic objectives and to furthering the interests of children whose fathers died for their coun try. The /Gold Star Wives have joined many, many other groups in support of the McCarran-Walter Immigra tion Act and the Internal Security Act. They have taken the time to study these Acts and to make them selves aware of the provisions of each. Thatys , unfortuhately, is not the case with many other well-mean- ( ing citizens.
