--/ v- ....... Page 2 b CAPITAL By Thompson APPROACH ? Although this session of the Legislature was often pretty dry. there were moments of humor. For instance, when Governor Cherry went into the House to make his hospital speech to the joint session?. The galleries were full, the whole place crowded and quiet, waiting for the Governor. House members and Senatois had .been sent to escort His Excellency. On the dais sat Speaker of the House Ogcar feichardson and Lt.-Gov. L. Y. Bullentine. with the latter presiding. Finally, at the door there was a little jostling of the crowd. ' The sergeant-at-arms didn't know insf what to sav. but felt he J*"~" " ? . should make some little comment, so he intoned in royal voice: ~ "The Governor and his escorts - are now approaching." J ' Eveiything was quiet for a - second. And then Ballentine bang~ ed the table with his mallet. _ thought for an instant while the " Governor halted. "Let him apZ. proath!" said Ballentine. That - seemed to everyone the best thing J to say. and after that, with Cher ry grinning, things got down to - an even keel. PAUL ? Dr. Frank G.aham. t president of the Greater Unive'r sity of North Carolina, is a* dead " ringer for Paul Velvet ton, Ra leigh undertaker. Dr.' Frank spoke very nicely to one of the State I officials during the last week of - the Legislature. Without a 1110?ment's pause, the official said: "Why, hello. Paul. What are you doing up here?" Dr. Graham muttered something, and to rid the official of . embarrassment made a hasty de parture. "Why didn't Paul answer me," asked the official. Told .of his mistake, he thought of going and - correcting the error, but decided 3 that would make matters worse. 3 April?By May 1 many of the appointments to be made by Gov-ernor Cherry (he will have around .30 big-paying positions to fill) will have been taken care of. By .* that time ? if the present pace .continues?virtually all the legisla_ tors will have been back to Raleigh at least once regarding some local appointment. - Funny tiling, tnose wno visited the Governor last week left In I extremely good humor, feeling -that they had struck good blows [for their favorites. It is fine that J -they left in a happy mood, but "many are doomed for disappoint-ment, of cour. e?. . ' * JONATHAN ?Appointment of Jonathan Daniels as FDR's Good ["Man Friday gives this state an excellent entree into the sacred 'halls of the White House. In "fact, we have not had better since Jonathan's father was Sec[[ retary of the Navy in the other World War. 1[ For a long time now we have been forced to go to the presid[ dent through our Congressmen and Senators. Our best contact [ was Congressman R. L. Doughton. With all due respect for Senators Bailpy and Reynolds, . they had little or no influence on - President Roosevelt, except in an . adverse way possibly. Now it is different. Max Gard1 ner is close to the Government's 1 innards, and that is a help to ' Senator Clyde R. Hoey. 1-DAY R Guaranteed for " *4 if % -!

As head of Farm Security Administration and the guiding force at this time over the Commodity Credit Corporation, he is one of the most powerful men in the Nation. Yet two years ago lie was nothing more than representative from Granville County in the Legislature. If you remember, he lost out as Congressman when he ran against Our Bob Reynolds in 1938. Comptroller Lindsay Warren is also regarded as one of the closest men to the President. So if you want something done in Washington, contact your Congressman as usual, but then wade in on the big boys: Daniels, Gardner, Hancock, and Warren, or friends of these gentlemen. SHINDIG?There is going to be a real shindig here in Raleigh on April 15 when Joe Blythe, of Charlotte, puts on the Jefferson Day Dinner. Present will be Vice President Har ry Truman , Democratic Chairman Steve Hannagun RFC Chairman Fied Vinson, and Mae Oliver, North Carolinian who is a high official in the Democratic National Executive Committee.

Tu. ker.a JVilkes County native and a graduate of Wake Forest College (1942), ran this ad in several State papers. He will probably receive around $100 for it from the Digest. Last month, John Harden, now secretary to Governor Cherry, had one of his squibs carried in the Digest. Written while he was with the Greensboro Daily News, it was picked up by a lady and sent to the Digest. It is said that Harden received $25 for the item; the News, $25; and the lady who sent it in, $25.
