C. Washington, D, C.—As a general rule, the tall, frock-coated figure of Senator Clyde It. Hoey of North Car olina Is one of the things people i ■ the Senate Gallery see when th‘.' look down on the floor during ses sions of the “world's most exclusive club"—but one day, gallery visitors found Hoey among them, looking down on the "olub" below. rioey’s visit to the gallery (to which he managed to got admitted without a visitor’s card) was in honor of a widely known constituent, Mrs. John D. Robinson of Wallace, long prominent In affairs of the Gen eral Federation of Woman’s Clubs. Mrs, Robinson and her husband, a Wallace physician, stopped off In Washington cn route home from New York. Mrs. Robinson wanted to hear some of the Senate debate on the European Recovery program and Hoey, after installing her in the gallery, decided to join her and ex plain tlie proceedings on the flooi below. North Carolina’s Labor Cominls sloner. Forest H. Shufford, was in Wasliington for two days as a mom- l)or of the Saftey Advisory Commit tee of the Bureau of Lal)or Stand ards. This agency, under the Labor De partment, is a nationwide iboard planning the strategy for industrial safety campaigns. There are only ten members from the entire country, .Mo.st of the members come from in dustry. A few represent labor. Shu- ford Is the only state labor com missioner on the committee. Imst year, the committee sponsor ed a safety campaign for the brick and tile Industry, 'nils year, the safety campaign is being concen trated upon the woodworking indus try, The committee sponsors couises for the training of safety inspectors. Rep. j, Bayard Clark celebrated Ills iiineteentli annlversary'as a mem ber of Congress, last year. For the most part, the Fayette ville Congressman spent the day do ing routine duties. The only thing that came up of Interest, he said, was an oath sent to all Congress men pledging them to support the Constitution of the United States. After signing the paper, Clark com mended, “It seems ironic to me that these oaths are being sent around at the very time the anti-lynching 1)111 is about to bo discussod In Con gress.” He continued, “This bill Is clear ly a rape of the Constitution, and If I have the opportunity I will uphold the oath I signed by voting against the 'bill.” Tlio Fayetteville Congressman is planning a sliort vacation at his North Carolina home. No speeches are planned. Dr, Ralph McDonald of Winston- Salem and Washington has announ ced ho win not bo a candidate to succeed Rep. John H. Folger of Mt, Airy as a member of the I-Rtuse from the Fifth Congressional District. McDonald, executive secretary of tho higher education division of the National Education Association, said he felt ho could accomplish more for the good of tho people In his present ■apacity than as a member of Con gress. The former Salem College and University of North Carolina pro- fe.s.sor, twice an unsuccessful but spectacular candidate for governor, innouncod that he would not run for tho seat Folger is vacating shoi’t- ly before ho boarded a plane for Charlotte, whore he was scheduled to address the Mecklenburg County Classroom Teachers Association. McDonald’s decision, made, ho said, after scores of leaders from every county in the district had urg ed him to run, leaves tho field of candidates for Folger’s seat clour for riuiriuond Chatham, Elkin blanket manufacturer. There are, however, other possible candidates, principally State 'Rep. John J. Taylor of Dan bury, former Stokes County, sheriff. The office of Rep. Graham A. 'Barden has assured third district voteis that tho congressman has filed his notice of candidacy.

HAVE YOU THE BOLD LOOK? Rep. Robert L, Doughton pointed with- pride Thursday, to the hand written letters ot twoj Rowan-county coloi'ed men who wers endorsing his middlo-of-tho-road stand on the President’s civil rights program. In the only public statenient that he has made on the issue, iiDoughton said a fow weeks ago that tho southern white man was the best friend the sou them coloied man had and that If the south were left, alone It would work out its own racij problems. One of the letters^'that Doughton received from a Rowan negro said, “1 will tell you the condition of the Charging present federal tax laws negroos and how we .ieel about civil "ste,,! from t‘he individual,” John rights.

We are well pleased with conditions. Please don’t lot this get In the In side racket but try. to help the south ern States,” Commenting on the, letters, Dough ton said, "I appreciate them very much. I don’t believe It would toe dual the fruits of hls labor will pro duce stagnation in this country Just as they have done In England, F unce, Italy and elsewhere.” Present tax laws, Hanes contended, are preventing Investments of capital 111 corporate securities, and there fore, preventing the expansion of business and production the country needs to avoid another depression. Denying it was ills purpose to de stroy any of the work done 'by federal fair to make the' names of the writ-' agencies, Rep. Harold D.

Research experiments’would 'be turned over to the state cxpei imont stations, cooi;d- inatlng under the Federal Office ]of Experiment stations. Two days later, H. Herbert White of Reidsville testified 'before the House Agriculture Committee, o£f!r- ing a six-point program for soil co^n- servution in opposition to .Cooley’s bill to combine the soil conservation programs of several agencies. ' While, chairman of the Dan River soil conserviuion district, praised the rarinns policy of the present'service, and dedaled “subordination or oo;in- binalion of it with other agencies would not work to the farmers’ a'd- rnntago.” A.S a substitute for Cooley’s pro posals, which would coordinate the soil conservation activities of the Extension Service, the Production and Marketing Administration and the Soil Conservation Service, White suggested this progra-m: 1. Keep the program out of pc-li- tlcs, leaving responalbllity for soli conservation practices up to the farmer, operating through district administrators and planning the ii.se of all land with treatment accord ing to need. 2. A National land policy. 3. Improved methods and increased coverage of soil conservation prac tices, 4. Greater technical assistance to farmers in soil and water conser/a- tiou. I 5.
