POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT
GRAHAM'S FOES CALL TO THEIR
r AW A NOTORIOUS DEFAMER
The Chapel Hill Weekly.
It is a sorry business indeed that
ithe opponents of Senator Graham are
engaged in when, for the purpose of
influencing the voters, they circulate
slanderous statements about him by
the notorious defamer John T. Flynn.
The statements are contained in
Flynn's book, “The Road Ahead,”
■which pillories, along with Graham,
some of the most highly respected
men in the country. Thousands of
copies of this book have recently been
spread around North Carolina. Stacks
of them —paid for by whom?—have
appeared in offices, business houses,
and other places.
The people who have resorted to
thirf evil form of campaigning were
recently so successful in worming
their way into the confidence of lead
' ers of the Daughters of the American
1 Revolution that the State D.A.R. con
vention in Charlotte adopted a resolu
tion calling upon every chapter to
make the book a subject of special
study. Which, of course, was equiva
lent to endorsing it. I know of one
chapter meeting at which some of the
members protested against the reso
lution, declaring that they did not in
tend to be hoodwinked into spreading
anti-Graham propaganda. I hope
there will be enough of such wide
awake members of the D.A.R. to make
this same thing happen at other chap
ter meetings.
Ten years ago, when the Nazis were
beginning to overrun Europe, Flyxm
was denouncing the William Allen
White committee and other organiza
tions that sought to help the Allies
against Hitler. He wrote articles for
“Scribner’s Commentator,” a pro-Ger
man periodical. He opposed the Lend-
Lease law, which was one of the im
portant moves against Hitler. He said
that Secretary of War Stimson and
Secretary of Navy Knox should be
driven out of President Roosevelt’s
cabinet. The organ of the German-
American Bund proclaimed Flynn “a
courageous man,” and the Coughlinite
organ praised him as “a veteran
American crusader.” Before the war
" was over Flynn published a pamphlet
which pictured Japan as a nation
pleading for peace and placed the
blame for Pearl Harbor on the leaders
of the Government. Before and after
—this country’s eatranck in teethe -wan
Flynn was the constantly extolled
darling of the elements in America
that opposed American action against
Hitler.
It is a disgraceful act for North
Carolinians to be circulating a book
by a man with Flynn’s record in the
effort to persuade North Carolinians
"to distrust Frank Graham; and it is
no credit to Willis Smith that he is
attacking Graham with the same sort
of misleading statements that are
made by Flynn.
In contrast, observe the record,
published this week by the Wake
County Committee for Graham, of the
praise given to the Senator by six
persons far different from Flynn.
These persons are General George C.
Marshall, Senator Clyde R. Hoey, Sen
ator Wayne Morse, Senator Charles
Tobey, Mrs. W. T. Best, and Mrs. O.
Max Gardner. “The work Frank Gra
ham did in Indonesia for the United
Nations- was a diplomatic miracle,”
saidl General Marshall. And Senator
Tobey said: ’’Frank Graham’s speech
on the Atlantic Pact was the greatest
I have ever heard in the United States
Senate.” In these two quotations we
have a fair reflection of the esteem
in which Graham is held by the na
tion’s most trusted leaders.

THE CHOWAN HERALD EDENTON. N. C„ THURSDAY. MAY 11,1950
tached units participating in the big
gest air-ground maneuver in history
—“Exercise Swarmer.”
“Swarmer,” commanded by Lt. Gen.
Lauds Norstad of the U. S. Air Force,
is planned on a major scale and its
scope is well in advance of anything
hitherto attempted in war or peace.
Total personnel engaging in the ma
neuver will approach 60,000 including
men from every state in the Union.
The object is to test the feasibility
of flying men and equipment into the
center of enemy held territory, keep
ing them supplied solely by air lift
The enemy in this case will be an
“Aggressor” force, which theoretical
ly has invaded the coasts of North
Carolina and Florida.
V Corps, regularly commanded by
Lt Gen. John R. Hodge, will be led
in this unprecedented maneuver by
