CAPITAL CLIPBOARD
State Labor Enforcing Agency To
Become Part Of Federal Branch
Bgr EULA NIXON GBttENWOOD
BIG CHANGE . . . Although
nothing formal about it (or puo
lioation has yet been announced,
the Federal enforcement divis
ion of the N. C. Department of
Labor here in Raleigh is divorc
ing' itself from the State agency
and is becoming an out-and-out
branch of the U.S. Department of
Xjstor*
Division headquarters will be
moved from Raleigh to Atlanta.
North Carolina for a long while
now has been the only state ot
the SO charged with theatknin
istration of the Federal wage
law*. We have been rather proud
of this distinction, for it showed
confidence in the operation of
the State Department of Labor.
One of the nation's best.
Also, and more important, em
ployers have teen ... or have
felt . . . much closer to officials
charged with keeping them in
line .with the rapidly growing
laws of the Federal Government.
Approximately t? officials bow
with the N. C. Department of
Later Is various sections of the
State administering the Federal
laws are being given the choice
of remaining with the State ar
going with Unde Sam. Virtually
ail of them, we understand, are
gring Federal. Am a rule, Federal
pay is better, vacations and sick
leave are regarded as mare
abundant, and there is leaa
chance sf being shifted eat af
a Jsh.
The strictly Federal positions
now boused in the N. C. Labor
Building here ? an U90 ? look
ing thing and a disgrace to the
State ? will be moved to other
quarters as soon as apace can
be found.
Urs. Pauline Horton and Julian
E. Parker, both veterans in the
field of Federal wages, hours,
etc., are expected to be the top
rung administrators in the new
setup.
You don't have to look far to
see a State agency going nation

The special session of the Leg
islature went right down the line
on the Pear sail Plan, varying
not a comma, a* we recall on
constitutional changes, etc. And,
the interesting thing is that the
plan still stands ? pretty much
as laid out.
But heavy, heavy hangs the
sword over its head.
OFF-AGAIN-GN . . . Well,
they aay a survey has been taken
. . . and that this survey shows
that Commerce Secretary Lu
ther Hodges stands a good
chance to win the Democratic
nomination for Governor in 1864.
Ho hum.
Now aaray ant there an that

Our only comment on this little
morsel is as follows:
If it takes Luther Hodges as
long to decide whether to run
for Governor next year as it
did for him to decide whom he
wanted to succeed him in I860,
then leaves will be full grown
next spring before we will know
the answer.
It will be ? long time, too, be
fore as many wishers think they
have the off dial nod: Addison
Hewlett, Luther Bernhardt, Ed
win GUI, John Larkins, and fin
ally, and at long last, Malcolm
Seawell. Let's hope we don't
have to go through that again.
FLOWERS? . . . With tobac
co prices dragging and the en
tire industry fearful of the fu
ture, there is renewed interest
in the Reynolds Tobacco Co. er
periments at the sprawling Anr
oca farm now owned by them
in Northeastern North Carolina.
Bertie County Farm Agent
George Jennings swears that
something besides tobacco . . .
as we know tobacco ... Is being
grown at Avoca. Reports leak
ins out say tlie plants have small
leaves, but so does Turkish to
bacco.
" Flowers are being harvest
ed", iwe heard recently while
through Edenton. This could be
an experiment with the pollen
from the peculiar plants under
cultivation. One (arm worker,
who swore us to secrecy, said
that soma of the plants "have
been growing lor two, three
years."
That's like no tobacco we ever
heard of in this country. Only
kudzu is deader than a stalk of
tobacco ia mid-winter.
COSTS MONEY . . . Billy
Arthur, lively writer for the
awar*-wtaateg Chapel Hill Week
ly, reparta that he heard of this
mas who waa complaining bit
terly at his wife alwajv breaking
thing. "Uke fives, teas, and
twentys . ,
NORTHWEST ... The center
of Raleigh, populationwise. used
to be od New Bern Avenue, not
too far from the State Capitol.
We heard last week that the
official center of Raleigh ... as
far as its 100,000 people are con
cerned ... is now just a block
north o* St. Mary's Junior Col
lege. This is naariy a mile west
? mora northwest ? of the old
center. Raleigh has moved wort
ward and northward in rapid
fashion within the paat decade.
Although we sometimes ob
serve cities spreading eastward
and southward, this is not gen
erally true in this section of the
country . . . where the prevail
ing winds are from the north
west
KENFOLK ... An interesting
sidelight on the death of Taylors
ville Attorney J. Hoyden Burke
(in court last week on his ffth
birthday): A ranking, rock
ribbed Democrat, he lived to see
... at 96 ... hi? son-in-law
Ray Jennings, become secretary
of GOP in N. Carolina! But they
hit it off nicely and meant a lot
to each other through FDR, Har
ry, Ike and JFK.

in Cuba are Reds.
