Reynolds May
Clip Hancock
Oxf ord Man Seeking Federal Job ;
Many Think Senator Rey
nolds Opposed
This business of buying a new navy
wouldn't be so costly if the builders
would r.ccept the "used"' ship as
part of the purchase price of the
in w one.
The Hancock-Reynolds feud seem
ed likely to break out again in North
Carolina in a post-election fight over
Representative Frank Hancock's ap
pointment as a $10,000-a-year mem
ber of the Federal Home Loan Board,
as revealed by the talk in the rear
ranks.
The North Carolina Congressman
was represented from Washington ns
having a good chance of succeeding
William E. Stevenson, of Cheraw. S.
C, who was not reappointed. Like
wise it came from the Capital that
other North Carolina officials, in ad
dition to Hancock, want the job, and
desire and expect to have the support
of Robert R. Reynolds, who defeated
Hancock for the Senate in the June,
primary.
But Hancock's friends here today
made tht point that if Hancock is
not appointed by the President then
the appointment certainly will go t
another Ktatd, possibly fTexas. If
Reynolds opposes Hancock, they in
sisted, then he merely drives the job
from North Carolina.
Reynolds friends, however were still
smarting from the Hancock cam
paign in which he declared that Rey
nolds was a political clown and not
tit to be Senator. Hancock's friends
insisted that was politics and that
bygones should be bygones. In the
meantime the appointment was ex
pected within a few days and the
situation was growing tense.
