This news article reported that all major manufac turing industries, except tobacco, enjoyed “substantially high®” rates of profit in 1950 than in 1940. did so at a time when taxes—toeal, county, State wid Federal, are at just about an all-time high. TISk philosophy of the government is to spend and tax, spend and tax. Some of the government’s so-called experts will tell you that the-rich are paying for all of the socialistic pro grams being carried out by the government and endeavor to justify non-essential spending on that argument. The cold truth is, as the late A1 Smith used to say, “When j?qu tax the rich, you merely soak the poor, ’ be cause tfle manufacturer merely passes on the extra tax fanrrifwft) the consumer and it’s the “little man” who pays in the long run. It’s only natural that when additional cost or addi tional tax is added to any business that the cost must necessgyiiy advance because ail business firms —at least ttaQpi&s that are successful and stay in business—operate apaSsflttified margin of profit.

DUNN, N. C. These Days £ekcjjkif INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT i Mrs. Agnes M. Lewis, corres ponding secretary, National Blue Star Mothers of America, writes me: “This all-important question of invisible control in these United States must eventually be answer ed! “Shall it be answered by you, Mr. Sokolsky, or some more cour ageous columnist?” What is this invisible control?. When A1 Smith ran for President, a vicious campaign was conducted against him on the assumption that the Pope maintained an in visible control of the United States. Bigots fought A1 Smith as though he were not in every re spect a better man and a better American than any one of his traducers. In 1932, A1 Smith failed of the presidential nomination by his party to some extent because, this bigotry continued to fright en so-called practical politicians. Now, the bigotry has been trans ferred to certain Jews who were ; closely associated with Franklin ; D. Roosevelt: Bernard Baruch, Fe- ; lix Frankfurter, Sam Itosenman, ] Anna Rosenberg, and Henry Mor gen thau. The bigotry does not ap- ■ ply to the larger number and more influential Christians who were as sociated with Franklin D. Roose velt. Why should one group and not the other be the “invisible con trol”? And why should anybody be so accused when we live in a ckuntry of free elections? The people can vote anybody out of •; office. There is only one way to deal with this problem, out of which : men and women are earning a •livelihood by building organiza- | tions, publishing newspapers, sell- : ing brochures. That way is com- i plete -publicity. / If these people have evidence that thereis an invisible control of the government of the United States, an illegal, subversive con trol, they should put their evi- ; dence before the FBI, the House : Committee on UnAmerican Acti vities and the McCarran Commit tee—Let them take their choice— and let there be a thorough public ' i investigation. Let us have all the facts. , These accusers can testify un der oath as to what they know. For instance, Bernard Baruch is indisputably one of our ablest cit izens who has served his country for a prolonged period. When these fanatical persons attack him because as an American citizen, whose father was a surgeon in the Civil War and whose mother's family settled in this country in the 17th Century, he expresses his opinions or serves his government, they are seeking to pursue in the United States the anti-Christian racism of Hitler. One need not agree with Baruch to respect him Justice Felix Frankfurter has been an active citizen, serving many presidents since Woodrow Wilson. He now sits on the United States Supreme Court. To accuse a justice of the highest court of our land of subversion, which is what "invisible control” means, is an attack upon the integrity of the court. This should be investi gated and the charges sifted. Granted that Felix Frankfurter, at times, is poiitic&hv inept, even meddlesome, his decisions from the bench have been on the con servative side as compared with Justice Hugo Black or Justice William O. Douglas. If It was bad form for Frank furter to testify in the Hiss case U was equally bad for Justice Stanley Reed. One is a Jew the other a Christian. Neither * en gaged, I am sure, in “invisible control.” But theee organizations that are maldng charges of “invisible con trol do conduct a constant prop aganda, in many forms, over the : enure country.

"■■■■ ■ "-TV LYNN NISBiTt HEAT-RASH—This time of year it is sometimes hard to tell wheth er “breaking out” on the body is due to some permanently serious disorder or is occasioned simply by the excess heat. Same thing applies to “breaking out” of po litical stories. Such, for instance, as the one current during the past week that Kerr Scott of Haw River will be a candidate for lieu tenant governor next year. Most capitol square folks regard it as Just “heat rash," but there are some who think there may be some basis for the yarn. IMPORTANT These serious - minded folk find severs* reasons to support belief the present gov ernor might seek the No. 2 office, since the constitution prohibits him succeeding himself as gover nor. They say that Governor Scott has a lot of vote-getting power which he cannot transfer to some other candidate; in other words he can’t Influence a great many people to vote with him but can get a lot of these to vets for him. Furthermore, experience of the past two legislatures has proven that the man who names commit tees in the senate has more con trol over state policy than the man who makes recommendations to the general assembly. That fact, ': plus the constitutional provision! that the lieutenant governor might . any time be called upon to take' over the duties of the chief execu-. tive, gives to the position much more importance than is general ly conceded. DIFFERENT —Finally, they say Kerr Scott just likes to do things differently and In non-orthodox manner. No governor has ever run for lieutenant governor, although several No. 2 men have sought the top office. Several former speakers of the house have come back to serve on the floor of that body. John Quincy Adams served in the national house of represen tatives after being president, and Andrew Johnson served in the United States senate after retir ing from the presidency, it would be something new for a governor to move down to the presidency Os thd senate—but It would be the Bettwkyi.in which he co«ld con i bfcwl #to exert- potent influence upon state policy. INTEREST While very few folks hereabouts were disposed tp take the Scott candidacy seriously, injection of his name served to revive Interest In the lieutenant governor’s race. A few weeks ago there seemed more concern over that office than over the No. 1 position, but recent political talk has dealt with the governorship and congressional contests. Roy Rowe, Burgaw business man and former legislator, is still the only openly avowed candidate for the second place* on the state ticket. J. C. Pittman of Sanford, lawyer, business man and several ti v* state senator, is very likely pros pect. and John D. Larkine, Jr., of Jones county, veteran state sena tor, Is.also on the potential list. During the past few days there has been some evidence of pres sure being brought upon Frank Taylor of Goldsbo>o, long time leader *tn legislative halls and speaker of the 1961 house, to throw bis hat into the lieutenant governorship ring. It is common knowledge over the state that none of these gentlemen suits the Scott faction fear president of the senate and possible governor. Inability to find a probable winner who does suit them may have occasioned the flurry of publicity aboV. the big man himself making the race. GOVERNOR Meantime, there have bi**n significant developments in the gubernatorial situation which have not been given pub licity. Several new names have been added to the list of prospec tive candidates. Considerable pub licity has been given to pos ability that Rev. Casper Warren of Char lotte, pastor of the biggest church in the state and former president Convention, might be drafted as a candidate. Since his name was first mention ed in a Bob Thompson broadcast ten days ago, the Charlotte min ister has had numerous letters and telephone calls urging him to run as a champion of the “moral The Robert Fra- bew bit . Frank Graham, former university 1 President and B. s. senator 'Han* Caldwell of Greensboro, mastarS i the State Grangb; Brandon nZi,,*. i of AshsvUJe, state treasurer; ' of Winton and Rakigh. sec- 1 1 I SbatojS.j* retary of state; and others are ' still on the talking list SHOW DOWN —Opinion among politically conscious (if not poll- * ticaily wise) oapttol square folk is < that none of these men will stay 2 In the race for a show-down on 1 primary day. It is flattering to 1 be mentioned as a possible gover- 1 nor, but making the race is a dif ferent matter. The difference is 1 represented, among many other j t actors, by some twenty-five to ’ one hundred thousand dollars cam- 1 paign money. Money of that kind ' aces not grow on bushes, and it 1 is seldom found among the group 1 most addicted to writing letters to ! public forum columns of newspap ers. The show-down race for tne governorship Is a matter of cold . business and practical politics, , handled for the most part by pro fessionals. There Is rather gener al acceptance of the fact tbfct ad- ' ministration of a state govern ment which collects. and expands a quarter bitten Mate a year is j a Job for experts rather than ama teurs or novice*. PROBABILITY - As the sltua- j tion Is shaping up now ft hacks like a showdown fight in next , year’s primary between William B. . . Umstead of Durham and Hubert jB. Olive of Lexington for the ' Democratic nomination as gover- I nor, which has been and is ex- j pec ted to be tantamount to election. , That prediction Is based on as- , sumption that if Capus Waynick ■ of High Point intended to run for governor he would not have ac- < cepted the appointment as ambas- ' sador to Colombia and put him- j self and the government to ex- , pense of moving from the embassy at Managua (in Nicaragua) for Just a few weeks tenure. Both Umstead and Olive are known to have contacted recognized politi- ~ cal leaders about support and a bout mechanics aqfl personnel of a state campaign organization, i There will be r If this two-way con- r! test, developv-ho- varyclear-cut j division betweeil the Ideologies of the candidates; but there wiil be enough difference to Justify many voters taking sides. . , TARGET —?This situation may l change seVera* fends before th e| primary. It has changed already.! since interest in the next gover nor became acute. One factor ap parently doesn’t change. Urn stead is and has been recognised as the leading candidate, and the contest will be the field ng»t»yt him—whether* that field contain one or half a dozen candidates.

The ques tion seems to be whether a Fed eral official on government busi ness with expenses paid by us tax* payer* has any right taking time to catch himself a fish. I’m a generous fellow, myself. Let him waste a-few days at the end of a fishing pole is my theory. This should make him feel better and maybe he’ll work harder for us when he gets back to'the office. A number of Congressmen disagree. And that’s one of the reasons why they’ve got an Air Force offi cer, Lieut. Col. Leon P. Howell, on the hot seat now. They claim among numerous other things tsat be fish ed when he should have been ser ving us citizens. The colonel start ed out denying everything. Said his enemies in San Antonio, Tex, were trying to besmirch his good char acter. . * These enemies used to work for him when he was, manager of the Veterans Administration regional office in San An tone. Tney cnarg ed him with assorted monkey-, shines, mostly on the triczy-track side, and tne select committee of Hep. Olm E. Teague ID, Tex.i threw the book at nim. The congressmen figure that if numerous orass hats are accepthig iavors train businessmen, worxuig out aeals to favor their mends, ana wasting their time beside*, then tne cost to the taxpayers may be hor rendous. first they took up the House that Howell bought m l»4b wnen ne was Veterans boss in Houston. They said he paid only $13,600 for it, wnen other veterans in the same subdiv ision were forced to pay 311,000 for the same kind of bungalow. The colonel, who was clad in tan seersucker mufti and a smile, said he was stung on that house. The builder never did finish it. No won der he got it cheap. And could he help it if Inflation enabled him to sell the place a year later at $19,000? So. Col. Howell moved to 8&n Antonio, where the Congressmen charged him with doing assorted favors for one of his pals, J. T. Hord, a retired Army captain. They salo the colonel helped the s cap tain' get disability pay they didn’t believe'he 'dema nxt-Untrue;- -Col. Howell *nsisted.

The evidence I was complicated and I’m glad I’m not the judge making a decision on it. The matter of the fish was more easily understood. Rep. Teague had a schedule of the colonel’s travels on government bus iness. This showed, for instance, that he and his wife left San An tonio on March 14, 1949, in a gov ernment sedan for an inspection of veterans housing. They returned four days later. The Congressman's document said they spent sl(4 hours with friend Hord in Rockport and only two hours in three other towns. On August Mi Howell flew to Brownsville, Tex., on another offi cial Inspection trip and, according to the charges, devoted four days as a contestant in the Rio Grande Valley Fishing Rodeo. Again In May, 1990, he spent his time on an official Journey fishing at Port Isa bel apd In August d*i a little more fishing. This time he won the championship in the sailfish divis ion of the International Fishing Tournament.
