KITCHIN
tContmuea from Page 1)
Deane and two others from North
Carolina, Kitchin said he had
heard the question at least “fifty
thousand times, and I really don’t
think it’s much of an issue in
the campaign. I will say now, as
I’ve said many times, before, I’m
absolutely against any form of in
tegration in the public school sys
tem of this state. That is all I’ve
had to say about the question,
and all I’m going to say.”
Told that an article appeared
in “Under the Dome” column in
Wednesday’s Raleigh News and
Observer stating that the Mani
festo was conceived as a means
of helping Georgia’s Sen. Walter
George with his campaign against
Herman Talmadge, and that
when Sen. George decided not to
run, the Manifesto had become
a thing to haunt other Congress
men, Kitchin replied: “I haven’t
read the column, but I don’t be
lieve there are 101 suckers in the
Southern delegation. They had
a good reason for signing it.”
During the campaign, Kitchin
has advocated extension of federal
credit to farmers, parity farm
price supports and the soil bank
plan. He has also spoken out for
“an effective tariff on textiles,
coupled with a strict quota on
Japanese imports.”
The former FBI agent said he
had become aware of the fact
during the last few weeks that
only one paper—in his home
town of Wadesboro—was sup
porting him. That didn’t mean, he
added, that all the rest were
against him. Many of them, he
said, just weren’t taking sides.
“Frankly, that fact doesn’t
bother me and I don’t resent the
paperk that aren’t supporting me.
It is, I can assure you, a difficult
thing to unseat the incumbent,
but I believe I have an excellent
chance.”
DEANE
(Continued from page 1)
Parkwood and Glendon; his work
to extend rural free delivery ser
vice at Robbins and Carthage and
his assistance in such projects in
volving federal funds as the
Moore County health center, the
Moore County Hospital addition
and the recently approved REA
loan for installation of the Pine-
bluff Telephone Company’s new
dial system.
Among the issues that Deane
has spoken of in his campaign are
an adequate national defense pro
gram, needs of the farmers, grow
ing unemployment in some indus
tries, the need for improved old-
age assistance programs, and ade
quate legislation to protect small
businessmen and large manufac
turers and their employees from
unfair foreign competition.”
Deane is a member of the pow
erful Appropriations Committee
and serves on subcommittees to
appropriate funds for the Depart
ment of the Air Force and the De
partment of Agriculture.
Deane has been under attack
from Kitchin supporters because
he did not sign the “Southern
Manifesto” which called for every
legal effort to reverse the Su
preme Court’s school segregation
ruling. While this fact has un
doubtedly lost Deane a good deal
of support in Moore County,
Deane workers reported this week
they are encountering less hostil
ity toward their candidate lately,
on this score, than at the begin
ning of the campaign. Many vot
ers, they say, do not consider the
Manifesto issue important.
Immediately after the Manifesto
was published, Deane said that he
thought the document was a
threat to the unity of the nation
and would have dangerous inter
national repercussions. His refus
al to sign was, he said, “a God-
guided decision.” Since the cam
paign began, Deane has ignored
the Manifesto issue and his back
ers have continually made the
point that his long and effective
service to the district and the sen
iority and responsible posts he has
attained far outweigh the ques
tion of whether he did or did not
sign the Manifesto^
Kitchin advertising in this final
week of the campaign is bearing
down heavily on the race issue,
pointing out that Deane did not
sign the Manifesto and affirming
Kitchin’s opposition to racial inte
gration in the schools. This final
emphasis on the race issue, say
Deane supporters, is evidence that
Kitchin is running primarily on
this issue, despite his and his sup
porters’ statements to the contra
ry.
Kitchin filed as a candidate,
Deane backers note, on the last
day for filing—only a few days
after the Manifesto and its list of
signers were published.
that no institution in the entire
state of South Carolina nor, to
the best of his knowledge, in
North Carolina or any other state,
permits its wards to go out and
sell magazine subscriptions or
anything else.
A call to the subscription com
pany manager in New York
brought this bit of information:
“We, like all businesses, have bad
apples, something we cannot con
trol imtil, unfortimately, it is too
late. We have very few calls of
this nature and will, positively,
either fire or reprimand the boys.
We’ll send the $20 back today.”
Southern Pines, like most oth
er towns, has a law against sell
ing door-to-door. The law
is known as the Green River law
and has been in effect here for
some time.
Obviously, it is impossible for
the police to keep tabs on every
per ion coming to the town. In
deed, they don’t even attempt
any such effort.
They suggest, however, that if
anyone comes to your door and
tells you they’re from an orphan
age, or uses any other “sympa
thy” appeal in order to get you
to buy whatever they’re selling,
that you stall the salesman and
call the police.
There are several legitimate
magazine subscription agents liv
ing in or near Southern Pines.
One sure way to know who
you’re dealing with, is to caiil
them.
After the Knollwood Apart
ments residents had brought
their experience to the attention
of The Pilot, several other local
instances of apparently phony
sympathy stories by magazine
(Salesmen—apparently the same
two boys—were discovered and
made known to The Pilot, al
though in these instances the
boys did not use the orphange ap
peal, but told other stories that
later proved to be untrue.

door in the Knollwood Apart
ments and asked the woman of
the apartment if she would like
to either subscribe to a few peri
odicals or renew a few she was
already taking.
The woman decided on renew
ing, for five years, at a cost of
$20, her subscription to a nation
al news magazine.
After writing the check to the
circulation company, she discov
ered she had already made such
a renewal a few weeks ago. The
boys were pretty quick. Why not,
they asked, take another maga
zine (for the same price and time)
and send it to the boys in the or
phanage, who would, they assur
ed her, be deeply appreciative.
She agreed and the boys left.
Minutes later, her husband
walked in for lunch. They dis
cussed the story the boys had
told and a decision was made to
call the bank and st<^ payment
on the check, at least until some
sort of investigation could be
made.
Fifteen minutes had passed.
Sorry, the bank politely said, the
check had just a minute or two
before been exchanged for a
cashier’s check.
Then came a quick visit to the
police station, a police request to
WEEB to ask listeners to report
if they had seen the boys, and a
quick call to the Hendricks Or
phanage in Columbia, S. C.
Sorry, the operator said, no
such place listed in the phone
book. Would she be kind enough
to connect Southern Pines with
any orphanage in Columbia?
H. F. Harris, superintendent of
the Carolina Children’s Home loX
six years, and superintendent of
Epworth Orphanage for fourteen
more, said he had never heard
of Hendricks.
He had, however, heard of sub
scription salesmen using a “sym
pathy” appeal to entice people
into subscribing. Very bad thing
for all orphanages, he continued
—gives them bad names and
causes prospective givers to be
come leery.
Furthermore, he was positive
TOWN AFFILIATION
(Continued from Page 1)
and said it undoubtedly was one
of the finest programs to further
international understanding and
goodwill he had ever heard of.
Dr. W. C. Timmons, pastor of
the Church of Wide Fellowship,
said it was his impression that
friendly contacts that would re
sult from town affiliation are as
effective as much of the federal
government’s foreign aid pro
gram.
“This project,” he said, “is
wonderful opportunity to fill a
need that other clubs and organi
zations don’t touch. I am heartily
in favor of it.”
One thing that most of the
group felt was of great impor
tance in starting such a project
was the opportunity for a student
exchange program. Student ex
changes have been in existence
for many years, according to
Mayor Gilmore, who was himself
once an exchange student in Hol
land and Denmark.
He said that he had gained a
far wider understanding of for
eign customs from his student
days than from all other sources
combined.
Following the meeting an or
ganizational committee was ap
pointed to head the project in its
founding stages.
Elected were Garland Pierce,
Frank Warner, Dr. Timmons, Lt.
Col. Paul Kinnison, Mrs. D. Ver-
hoeff, and Dr. Walter Sargent.
Mks. Stanley Lambourne, libra
rian, was named the recording
secretary.
The next meeting has been set
for 8 p. m. Tuesday, May 29 at
the • library. It is hoped by the
committee that, a large turnout
will be on hand to help with fur
ther organization.
Kiwanians Hear
Talk About FBI
By Paul Kitchin
“The Federal Bureau of Inves
tigation is an organization that is
worthy of the praise and admira
tion of every citizen of this coun
try,” A. Paul Kitchin told mem
bers of the Southern Pines Kiwan-
is Club at the regular meeting
Wednesday.
Kitchin, trying to unseat Con
gressman C. B. Deane in the Dem
ocratic Primary Saturday, did not
mention politics during his talk,
which was confined to a brief de
scription of the background and
present-day work of the FBI, of
which he was once a member for
more than twelve years.
He told the Kiwanians that J,
Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI,
has demonstrated a remarkable
ability to keep the bureau out of
politics of any sort. “He is one
man in the federal government
who lets the chips fall where they
may,” Kitchin said.
It was noted that the FBI is
purely a fact-finding body and
acts only in matters which do not
fall directly under another legisla
tive group. At present, he said,
the bureau is charged with, en
forcing and investigating viola
tions of 116 legislative acts.
The bureau, Kitchin said, has
some 5,300 people working in it.
Of those, ’ the agents, so-called
“G-Men,” are probably the most
widely known, although a tremen
dous portion of the work is done
by people who work in the labs
and other sections.
Probably the biggest boon to
scientific investigation ever' de
veloped is the system of finger
printing, the speaker said. He
said that all agents must learn the
rudiments of fingerprinting and
other methods of investigation, al
though they are not taught to be
experts.
Under the present setup of
training, each agent spends 18
weeks in a special school main
tained by the bureau. During that
period they take training courses
that are equivalent to two and
one-quarter years of college.
Agents, Kitchin said, even go to
school four hours each Sunday
during the training period.
One fact that he brought out
that put Kiwanians to marvelling
at the expert work done by the
FBI was that the bureau now
maintains files on every rubber
heel and sole that manufacturer^
throughout the world make. The
bureau also maintains a complete
file on every type automobile tire
and tire recapping machine.
He said that the possibility of a
typewriter, out of all the millions
manufactured, having a 10-word
sentence that is exactly identical
with the same sentence made on
another typewriter is impossible.

various buildings around town, as
inefficient and wasteful of tax
payers’ money.
“We have no intention of de
stroying the park by cutting down
a lot of trees or building a build
ing which will not be anything
but a vast improvement over what
is already there. In "fact, the mo
tion to seltect the town park was
passed only after it specifically
included a guarantee that the nat
ural beauty would be preserved,
that all valuable trees would be
protected and that the building’s
architecture would be adapted to
insure continuing beauty. When
the job is ,completed, I am sure
you will all agree that the council
has acted widely.
“Since I was mayor at the time
the park was purchased, I felt
obligated to consult the wishes of
Dr. Swett’s widow and Mrs. Kath
erine Betterley (Dr. Swett’s
daughter), the former owner. Mrs.
Swett told that she had hoped we
might find another location and
leave the park in its present state.
However, she did state that she
has no financial interest in it and
felt that she should not raise too
much objection. She still hoped
we might find another location. I
then consulted the former owner,
Mrs. Betterley. Her comment was
as follows: ‘If the council consid
ers that the park is the best place
to build the municipal building, I
have no objection.’
“I, lor one, do not claim to
know all the answers or to have
any special aptitude for selecting
sites, but I do know we have run
up against a brick wall—either
financially or from other objec
tionable features—in every other
location which we considered. We
have done our best and hope the
townspeople will cooperate with
us in this undertaking.
“The entire council joins me in
assuring the public of its great
concern for the continued beauty
of our town park and of its inten
tion to see that good taste and
good sense govern our town’s
growth.”
