Harold Cooley Talks
To Young Democrats
CONNOR JONJ>»
Tho Honorable Harold D. Cooley.
Represetfitative to the Congress of fti'ovember 13 This group of ap-
the UniU'd States, spoke on Novem proximaU-ly twenty students was
ber 9 for the Young Democratic direct(*d by the chorus director.
Club here on our campus. Mr. Prof. - .,r C. Lynn Brown.
C:ooley. Democrat from Nashville, The first selwtion was *‘Sanc-
was very active in the formation tus.” by F'ranz Schubc*rt. This was
of tho North Carolina Youag Dem- followed by a l i vely spiritual,
ocratic Clubs, among the first in
the nation. He has had consider
able experience with the Young
Democrats, besides having years
of experience and success as a
lawyer, and having served ten
terms in the Congress. He is now
serving his eleventh term as rej;>‘
rosentative from the Fourth Con
gressional District of North Carc>
lina. His service on the House Agri
cultural Committee has been more
than commendable.
Mr. Cooley was introduced by
Representative Larry I. Moore.
Representative to the State Legis
lature for this district. Mr. Moore,
after presenting Mr. Cooley's fine
record, turned the rostrum over
to Mr. Cooley.
Mr. Cooley first lauded the great
ness of our nation and pointed out
its importance in the world t^jday.
He praised the Young Deinocral.s
of the nation and especially of
North Carolina and congratulated
the student*! of Atlantic Christian
fr>r having formed a chapter of
this organizaticm on our campu.s.
Mr. Cooley expressed dissatisfac
tion with the limitation of the
voters' thoughts to tweJve candi
dates for the presidency and point
ed out that there are mwe tha;.
one hundred and sixty million peo- _
pie within our nation, a large part ^
of whom are technically available Hvpnotist
for candidacy. -t’ a U
A declamation against the Re- | o Appear liere
publican administration, which Mr.
Cooley denounced as a “ccmfuslon’',
was followed by a more specific
denunciation of Mr. Eisenhower
and his cabinet, whom Mr. Cooley
called “blundering Bureaucrats.”
He stated that, though SecreUry
of Agriculture Benson had prom
ised to present to the AgriciUture
Committee a definite program for
aiding the farmer and easing the
agricultural depression, he has not
as yet done so. Calling Mr. B«>-
son a “Wuff”, Mr. Cooley pointed
out that if the farmer does n<7t
prosper, the whole economy is in
jeopardy.
