The Mountaineer present in this issue (on page 10) the first install ment of a new weekly column from the Nation's Capital, "On the Tar Heel Front in Washington," wriV ten by Robert A. Erwin and Fran ces McKusick. Thousands of North Carolinians live in Washington. Many of them are high Government officials and high-ranking members of Congress. Who they are, what they do and what they say is news in these critical times. This new feature is not just another Washington column, but a resume of news and people, sidelights and human inter est stories, of direct interest to North Carolina folks. Bob Erwin hardly needs an in troduction. His name has been known to Tar Heel readers for so many years that they hardly know he isn't a native Tar Heel. Bob, who was born in Evansville, on the banks of the Ohio River in Southern Indiana, terms himself "a Tar Heel by ancestry, adoption and preference." His people on both sides of the house came from North Carolina, and as Bob puts it, he "had sense enough to go back." For some years, he was mana ger of the United Press Bureau in Raleigh, covered the State Cap itol, the State Legislature and achieved a statewide acquaintance ship. He knows people in just about all of the State's 100 coun ties. He preserves and cherishes his legal residence in North Caro lina, votes in Wake county, and despite his progress in Washington, still plans to return to Tar Heelia someday to settle down again and live with his favorite people.

He is a member of the White House Correspondents Association, the House and Senate Press Gal leries, president of the American Press Society, and takes an active part in the affairs of the North Carolina Society of Washington.

A native of South Dakota, daughter of the Dean of the State University Law School, she is a veteran newspa perwoman, graduate of the Univer- sity of Missouri School of Journal ism and is the wife of Marion J.
