‘j™ ..... !’ 1 h, i THUUSUAY, JUNE 12, 1S)47 HARNETT COUNTY NEWS—PHbUshed at Ltiitngton, N. C. PAOB THRBH Washington News Letter El win Nows Service Washington, D. C. At the moinent. tilings don’t look too liriglit. governmentully spoaking, lor iigi'ict'.ilii r«“—but it’s not tlie rauit of North Cnroiina’s momhors of the llotiso, nor of the slate's two loading agrionltnrai lolibyists. And when tiio liadiy lueut-axed Agricul ture Department aiyiropriations bill tomes nil in tlie Senate, Tar Heels win again be on hand in an effort to lestoro some of tlie cuts made liy the Hou.'e. North Carolina's entire House delegation—with the lone exception of Rt.‘p. Redden, who was in the state while ibo hill was under considera tion—voted down the line against the Hepnlilican economy squeeze on agriculture department funds, and Rep, Cooley, a top minority member of the Agriculture Committee, was one of the floor leaders in the oppo sition fight. With the help of Tar Heel votes am! Cooley's able generalship, the Democrats did manage to restoie enough departmental funds to reduce the .‘lii.sh from tlie 32 percent recom mended by the tight-fisted* House Aiipiopriations Committee to the 2S per cent figure finally approved by the Douse. As the battle went on. in the back ground were Hariy D. Caldwell of (Ireenslioro, p.ist master of the N. C, State Grange and a grand master of tlie art of agricultural lobbying, and R.“Flake Shaw, also of Greens boro. e.xecntive secretary of the North Carolln.t Kami Dureau, who does not have to take his hat off to any man, even Caldwell, when It comes to skill in agricultural lobby ing. Witli tlie bill moving over to tlie Senate. North Carolina's share in the fight to restore some of the funds cut out by the House will bo led by Seuatoi' Hoey, who is a mem ber of the Senate Agriculture Com mittee. The bill is before the Senate Vl'pi'opriations Committee—but, un doubtedly, the .\grlculture Commit tee will, as was tlie case in the House, engage in a lii-partlsan effort to recapture some of the House- slashed funds. Caldwell was lieie principally to aid J. T. Sanders, legislative coun sel of tlie National Grange, in draw ing up a brief to be used before the Senate .\ppropriatlons Committee wlien it holds hearings on the House bill, and when Sanders addresses that group, some of his words will be Caldwell's. , National recognition camo to an other Noilh Carolinian recently. State Commissioner of Labor For- lest H, Slinford, a High Pointer who lifted himself from the ranks of la- boi by hard work and consistent plugging, was named by President Trninan us one of a handful of ad visors to the United States dolegates to the International Labor Confer- once to be held this month and next in Geneva, Switzerland.

At any rate, Umstead has named a fo! mer newspaperman and public relations export to his secretarial staff. The junior .senator did not say Rankin would become his public re lations director—but tboro is reason to suspect he has been eyeing other senators who have staffmeu who a?e frankly publicists • and who get good results, The,new addition to Umslead's of ficial family is Edward L, Rankin, .Ir.. of Raleigh and Spencer, who has worked variously for the Nows and Observer, the Salisbury Evening Post and the .Associated Press.
