I Every afternoon, Monday through Friday : r: Editorial Sidelights BY CHARLES D. HUTAFF, JR. "teacher shortage • Thq, people of North Carolina cannot afford to take lightly the Spresent need of teachers or for better educational facilities. The need "for roads is a secondary matter to better education. The State Board •of Education has warned that the schools need more money and have Jasked* "the General Assembly to make the appropriations necessary •to makq’, these improvements. • h’ we face the facts squarely, then who wants to teach? The salary Coffered- the teachers in this state is not enough to attract the atten tion ot jpost of those who would qualify. Our classrooms are becoming •far 6ver-crowded which is unfair to the teacher as well as the stu dents. Last year the teachers salaries were raised but this year the rincrease of students per teacher still climbed and all but nullified the •raise? Ajperson can teach ten to twenty students well but is there any “one capable of teaching 50 to 60 young children 5 hours a day without •becomizft tired and irritable. • not float as big a bond issue for education as we have for "secondasy roads and improve these existing conditions? I am sure will improve the State more than the secondary roads and •in the long run education will see greater improvements than the *road£ t at present. • AMERICA SPIRIT? <- It has always been my pleasure to tell people where I was from and then explain just where Dunn is located. I have always enjoyed •telling people just how fine the people of Dunn really are and now •you have the opportunity to prove your salt nationally by showing a r little American Spirit. • • ' Tt* items that all over the nation people are trying to rob the t servicemen. They are charging rents that are entirely to high for .the places that are being rented as well as raising the price on many •articles of clothing, confectionary and other articles that the service -men need. These people have forgotton just why these men were 'called into the seryice. When their towns had troops stationed in •ttalie*fjeinity they took the get-rich-quick attitude as well as forgot that the servicemen has feelings also. Thert were a great number of people who thought that the Gov ernment had hrought a great inconvience upon them, and I »rant you that in some cases this was true, but no one seem to think of the inconvenience that had been caused the serviceman. It will not happen in Dunn. The people of my home town will not let these boys' and men down in any way. I am sure' that I will be able to pick up any national newspaper or talk to any of the men that will be stationed near Dunn sometime In August and find that they have been treated like decent human beings. I am not asking much and I feel surefcthit I can count on the people from my home show the sSnAcemem -as well as tke nation some real Americafrßpteit. r » .... ,;i' '*HK!

C. iDoys By •MM iUKttin £ckcbktj THE COAE IS THE CONGRESS An orderly mind cannot recog nize anarchy as within the realm of possibility. General Douglas MacArthur once got Into a contro versy with Kirby Page, editor of “The World Tomorrow,” in 1931, about some clergymen refusing to serve in war, resulting in a strong letter in which much of his philo sophy of life is stated. I take this letter from Frank Waldrop’s “MacArthur on War,” a most inter esting study of a truly philosophic mind. MacArthur wrote Page: "The question of war and peace is one that rests, under our form of government, in Congress. In exercising this authority, Congress voices the will of the majority, whose right to rule is the corner stone upon which our governmen tal edifice is built. Under the Constitution, its pronouncement on such a question is final, and is obligatory upon every citizen of the United States. That men who wear the cloth of the church should . penly defend repudiation of the laws of the land, with the neces sary implications arising from such a general attitude toward our statutes, seems almost unbeliev able, It will certainly hearten every potential or actual criminal and malefactor who either has or con templates breaking some other law. Anomalous as it seems, it appar ently stamps the clergyman as a leading exponent of law violation at individual pleasure.” Os course, there is nothing new in this doctrine; it is clearly stated in the Constitution of the United States and in a number of de cisions of the Supreme Court, ours is a congressional government; that is, a representative republic. During the past 20 years much has been done to shift the center of authority from the Congress to the President, from the legislative to the executive. But the will of the people expresses itself best in the Congress, in the debates, tliq disagsaements, the spkipromise&ii the at. the Congress,-'VtateL ful • executive can work in *BcKh and therefore unrelate himself so. the will of the people. ‘ Congress ean do no business in secrecy and therefore cannot be tray the will of the people without the knowledge of the people. If the people are careless in their Vigilance of Congress, that is the fault of the people who neglect their responsibilities and obliga tions. But the core of our govern ment is the Congress and when that core rots, our nation will fall. General Douglas MacArthur. in his magnificent address in 1935 to the Rainbow Division, which he commanded in World War I, said:' “ . . Where are the empires of old? Where is Egypt, once a state on a high plane of civilization where a form of socialism prevailed and where the distribution of wealth was regulated. .

Only trouble with this second school was that it never had any pupils. | It was located in a corner of the 2,100-acre naval air station at Bunker Hill, which had been leas ed after the war by some locals to plant soybeans. They’ve been planting beans on it ever since; one year they took In *35,000 profit on the crop. One of the stockholders in the bean operation used to be com mander of the air station. After a couple of years there were com plaints from the Navy about the school with the millions in flying machines and no students to learn how to fly them. So the bean growers ousted the schoolmasters. That leaves Congress with the question of who owns the rows of — » Realty Transfers Addie Cutts to C. H. Cutts, 54 acres; Town of Dunn to Julia F.

W ashin ßt° n dispatches have placed total Chinese and North Korean strength in Korea at nearly 700,000 troops. Un officers at the front conceded that the, situation, is '“serious,” hut sta»l were confident ‘the Btfc. 'Army could stem the 1 communist tide. NEW “VOLUNTEERS” EXPECTED Worse might be still to come, however. Only a few hours before the Red offensive began last. n|gh(, Lt. Gen. James A. Van Fleet, new commander of the Bth Army, war ned there were indications the com munists might throw new forces, neither Chinese nor North Korean, into battle. Van Fleet said the new forces were composed of "miscellaneous other volunteers” employing air power. (This appeared a clear re ference to intervention by Soviet “volunteers,” possibly drawn from an estimated 100,000 Japanese war prisoners reported being trained by the Russians.) Only Chinese have struck so far in the new offensive, however, and no communist planes have been spotted within 100 miles of the front. Twelve American Sabre Jets nevertheless destroyed or aamagea eight Soviet-built MIG jets and chased off 28 others over north west Korea yesterday. (H. S. Sen. Rooert Kerr, D., Okla., said in Washington that if communist planes dp attack UN troops at' the front, Allied planes will pursue them ‘'until we get them,” presumably even if they try to escape into Manchuria.) The Chinese aimed their main blow in their new offensive at the center Os the Allied line below Ku mhwa, 30 miles north of thp 38th Parallel and anchor base of their buildup area.

The government’s Gen eral Accounting office tried A End out, but its best guess is somewhere between *5,000,000 and *7,000,000 In hbpe of getting some sort of answer to its numerous questions, the House Executive Expenditures subcommittee called in Russell A. Hedelleston, a pole young man in pale-rimmed eyeglasses, who used to be in charge of the War Assets Administration’s almost - free air planes for educational institutions. Now he’s working for the Defense Production Administration and, I fear, he wasn’t much help. He said he did not investigate whether here really was a Bunker Hill school; nor did he do much checking when he authorized transfer of the ships to the Bunk er Hill School of Aeronautics. The prices, he said, were ridiculously low. B-17 bombers, which cost the government *325,000 each, went to the Bunker Hill pedagogues for *350 a copy. P-51 fighting ships, which cost the taxpayers $85,000 apiece, were knocked down for *IOO. The entire deal looked like it was on the up-and-up to him. He said he was not suspicious when some of the checks paying a total of $12,000 for the millions in ma teriel were signed by C. C. Duke Harrah, the Niles, Mich., airplane parts dealer. But what kind of a contract, in sisted the Congressmen, did Hed elleston sign? Who had title to the machinery? “I have looked at the printing on the back of these sales documents,” he said, "and, frankly, I do not know what it means. Here is one of these documents. (He - held it up.) It’s got a lot of fine print. Let me read you a paragraph. (He did read it.) And I confess it is mean ingless to me.” He also said he didn’t believe the Bunker HiU airplanes wore worth now anywhere hear what they cost. The Congressmen went along with him on that. But Rep. Charles B. Brownson (R., Ind.) wanted the Investigators to drop out to his home state for a gander at the bean crop.
