MAY 6. 1S48 Washington News Letter Brwln Nowd Sorvlco Wasliiiigton, D. C. Three social activities 'with a dis tinct Tar Heol flavor were the prin cipal news in Washington last week Tlio first of these was ,the dinnc given l)y North Carolinians attending tlie annual convention of the U. S. Chaintjcr of Commerce. A pleasant and pretty young woman taking a presidential poll for a national mag azine was tile chief greeter at the yhoreliam Hotel. Tar Heol delegates to the conven tion wore ho.sts to the Tar Heel mem bers of Congress and tlte Tar Heel pros.s. 'I'lieir cocktail party and ihiif- fot supper was conducted in the Houls Seize Room of the Shoreham.

It ehouid help relieve pain due to purely tunctlonnt peilodlo causes, 'ttj HI CARDUl Itl etc teact DinccTIONS The pretty poll taker, armed with pad and pencil, asked each arrival at the entrance to Looey’s room, “Who, please, is your choice for President, no names to be used, except your choice, of course?” Most of the crowd had gone in when your correspondents arrived, and after answering, we asked the polltaker, "How is it going?” She answered politely and quickly, “Vandonberg and Stassen, all the way. Not many other choices.” Most of those who passed through the door were North Carolina Demo crats, which would indicate definite ly a low ebb for the stock of Presi dent Truman, at least among those to whom the question was put. Members of Congress were cagey, of course. Most of them passed quick ly into Looey’s room and into the ranks of about fellow Tar Heels. Just before us was 'Rep. Graham A. Barden, of New Born. Hap Barden looked the young lady over, opened tho door and walked qultely through. He never answered. As the old saying goes, the eating was good and tho drinking was wet .It the 'buffet supper. Chief host was Harry J. Krusz, of Winston-Salem, executive manager of tlio Chamber FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER I hereby announce myself as a candidate for County Commissioner from the Fifth District of Harnett County composed of Upper Little River, Barbecue and Johnson- ville Townships, subject to the wishes of the voters in the Democratic Primary on May 29th.

LILLINGTON WJWWWW of Gommorce there—all chamber sec retaries are now getting high sound ing titles, executive vice-president, general manager, this, that and the other. Mr. KrUsz is president of the State Association of Chamber of Com'merce officials. His wife was chief hostess. The honor guests Included Senator ■Hoey and Representatives Bonner, Barden. Cooley, Folgor, Durham, Deane, Doughton, Bulwlnkle and Redden: Mrs. Bonner, Mrs. Cooley. Mrs. Durham; Secretary of the Army and Mrs. 'Kenneth C. Royall, of Goldsboro, and Assistant Secretary and Mrs. Gordon Gray, of Winston- Salem, ip addition to the hundreds of North Carolina Chamber men attend ing the coivvontion. The nojit social event came two days later when a local North Caro lina boy who made good in the ibig city was cast in the role of host in the most spacious parlor of the Stat- lor Hotel .in Washington, the Con gressional Room. Tho local boy is J. Dewey Dorsett, native of Siler City, former member of the Statb Industrial Commission at Raleigh and former president of the Young Democratic Clubs of North Carolina. Mr. Dorsett is now president of the Association of Casualty and Surety Companies, with headquarters in New York City. He lives at Ridge wood, N. J. In the Congressional Room, his organization gave a cocktail party for scores of delegates to the U. S. Chamber of Commerce convention, to a number of members of Congress, civic and business leaders in Wash ington, and Tar Heel friends. The guests included Secretary of the Navy John L. Sullivan and for mer Undersecretary of War Louis M. Johnson of West Virginia. Mr. Dorsett extended the glad hand of welcome to Fred W. Morri son, head of the law firm of late former Governor O. Max Gardner, who is spending most of his lime in Shelby these days although he Is a member of the law firm of Gardner, Morrison and Rodgers in Washing ton. The guestS' also included Prank Jenkins, of Slier City, accountant for Columbia Hospital in Washing ton, brother of Mrs. Dorsett, the former Minerva Jenkins of Siler City. The same night North Carolina’s Democratic National Committeeman, State, Senator Joe L. Blythe, of Charlotte, called on the North Car olina Democratic Club of Washing ton to “keep the .lamps of democracy lighted.” The club, with a turnout of about two hundred, gathered in the Wo men’s National Democratic Club House on New Hampshire avenue for a buffet supper, general get-together and the Blythe speech. Blythe, who recently recovered from an extended Illness, traced the history of the Democratic Party, ties it in closely with freedom, and avoided the factional side of party politics including the present Demo cratic primary campaigns in the state. Blythe presented the question, “How will the people of North Car olina vote in the fall election?” and said that "If freedom is safe by that time, the people will be willing to discuss candidates,” otherwise not. The State Senator v/as introduced by his own congressman. Rep. Hamil ton C. Jones, of Charlotte. Before the speaking, there were sessions with tho 'Punch bowl and tlie cold buffet. Tho punch was toss ed up by that noted Tar Heel soldier and barrister. Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox, accoi'dlng to his own formula, and the audience found it very pal atable. There was 'plenty of handshaking with the visiting Tar Heel digni taries, including Sen. Clyde R,-Ho«y; Representative Robert L. Doughton, dean of the delegation in Congress; Representative Harold D. Cooley and his wife: Ralph Webb Gardner, of Shel'by, son of the late former Gov ernor and Undersecretary of the Treasury, O. Max Gardner; ,Rep. .rones, and Assistant Secretary of the Army and Mrs. Gordon Gray, of Win- .ston-Salem. The master of ceremonies was the president of the club, John M. Lang, of Carthage, secretary to 'Rep. Chas. B. Deane. Mr. Lang was in fine fettle for the evening and turned aside with occasional touches of humor fhe Jibes of the arriving club .mem bers that “Joe Blythe has come to Washington to preach the funeral sermon for the party.” As for the speech, Mr. Blythe did a good job of it. As National Com mitteeman, he has been busy keep ing out of tho line of fire in the pri maries for governor and senator. And when you examine his party record of hard work in the money-raising field in recent years, it is easy to see that Blythe is entltlod to a lot of cre dit for that work from all factious of the party in the state. There was a lot of personal talk through the club evening about the party primaries now in their closing weeks. Possl'jly the only significant thing to be noted from the bull ses sion was that few, if any, borseback experts were predicting firmly that their respective, favorites had the primary sewed up. Speaking of work for the party, Mr. Lang may well be credited iwith bringing the Democratic Club hack to life. This revival was long over due, and Lang has accomplished It. He also has removed the club from its role of second rate sideshow to the North Carolina State Society headed lo these many years by John K. Slear of Charlotte, secretary to Rep. Jones. 3,742 and in 1945 3,782'. The decline In Infant death rate In N. C. followed the national rate which showed a decrease of 11.7 per cent for the year 1946 compared with 1'9'45. All statistics exclude still births. A New Englander will depend on Southern rhetoric to carry him through a Memorial Day address. Joseph W. Hudson of Providence, R. I., has written Sen. Hoey that he was 'Using Hoey’s memorial address, complete and unabidged, at an Elks Meunorial Day service. The Rhode Island man said he had just flnished reading the speech made by the N. C. senator on the Boor recently and had decided It could not be Improved on. Sen. Hoey had represented the Democrats In a memorial service ini memory of the senators who had passed away during tho last two years. He had already received com mendation from most of his col leagues in the senate, -but Hoey said he was surprised that his same speech was to he used in Providence. However, the senator wrote Hud son he was very welcome to repeat the speech given on the sen'&te floor. Turning from Democrats to Repub licans, the N. C. Republican candi date, John A. Wilkerson of little Washington, has been in Washington conferring with' national Republican leaders. The N. C. Republican Friday talk ed with House Speaker Joseph W. Martin Jr., Republican National Chairman Carroll Reece, and Rep. Harold Knutson (R., Minn.) Wilkinson did not disclose any plans for 'his campaign In N. C. dur ing his stay in Washington. He did take time out to call on his congress man, Herbert C. Bonner. The infant mortality rate in N. C. dropped 6.1 per 006' live births in 1946 over 1946, the national office of Vital Statistics has announced. Al though" a tremendous increase in the number of birthk was reported in the U. S. during 1946, a decrease of 42 deaths among infants under 1 year old was counted in N. C. that year. The num'ber of deaths in 1946 was Rep. Bayard Clark' says he will w’ork for the reelectlon of Senator William B. Umstead, thus becoming the only N. C. congressman to openlY declare support in the senatorial campadgn 'between Umstead and for mer Gov. J. M. Broughton. The Fayetteville congressman, who will retire at the end of this term," said: “I don’t see any need lor peo ple trying to kick out a man like Sen. Umstead to make room for an other.” He went on to add that the senator has experience, integrity and \ ability, and he added that he was 'basing his support mainly on these qualities.
