House Occupants
Says Lynn Nisbet in his well-read Capitol Square
coftmm;
“Question has been raised in some quarters about the
| propriety of the governor of North Carolina going on a
1 ashing trip as guest of a man who sells a lot oi sand and
J travel to tne State. Also there has been some criticism of
B governor accepting ‘hospitality of owners oi private
banes for trips over the country.
'“During the past few days there has even been heard
nerit aoout tne governor and high-ranking personnel
le hignway department accepting entertainment and
of-brief cases from the people of Fayetteville.'’
a very astute and thoroughly reliable re
; potter and observer of State affairs, expresses belief that
•no doubt some of the criticism and the talk have been
•grossly exaggerated. No doubt he is right.
t ±‘k’he aiixerence between a free trip to Europe or a
vacation in a swank Florida hotel and a weekend at the I
I beach or a fishing trip on the coast is in degree rather than |
•in kind,” points out Mr. Nisbet.
1 Then, he points out that Governor Scott is a man who
;has talked very glibly about cleaning up petty graft, and {
••recalls the old auage that people who live in glass houses
should not throw stones and reverses it to read: “People!
-who throw stones should not live in glass houses.” j
We haven’t too much quarrel with our Haw River gov-'
'ernor for taking a fishing trip with a friend, or accepting!
a little hospitality now and then even if those acts do tnrow
•a shadow of suspicion about the governor.
; ;»fWhat we do resent is such utter disregard for the way ’
ihe*spends the taxpayers money. j
jSuch as: that underpass ouilt across the highway so!
cattle can travel from his farm to his brother’s farm with-)
out crossing the highway, the way he used the State’s auto- !
mobile and gas last year to try to ram down the throats of
■the voters a candidate they didn’t want and couldn’t
stomach, the extra expense ne’s added to the governor’s
'.office, etc., etc., etc. (We could go on for pages.)
* uJKe-have noticed particularly that when tne governor
•makes a trip to some conference that he now takes both of
JiJs secretaries and sometimes their wives. (He even took ,
*t° highway patrolmen as cnaffeurs on a trip to Colorado.)}
* z It seems the governor could get along on these trips—
«7oiich really amount to vacations—with just one secretary.
iAud one of his secretaries manages'to keep him in hot
•vl|tj££~so consistently that it looks like His Excellency
happy indeed to find a good excuse for leaving j
* that would be too practical and too economical.
S4O Door Costs $594
< Down in Lexington, Tennessee, a newspaper has un
covered the acknowledged fact that the General Services
•Administration (whatever that might be) paid $594 to in-
Stdlt two doors for the government which retailed at S4O.
\ -But, before you go jumping at harsh conclusions, let us
a'emlnd you that H. E. Harman, Jr., southeastern director
‘of GSA (the title sounds like a $12,000-a-year-man), says
j there was nothing out-of-line about that expenditure.
Harman said the job was advertised according to law
Jand that the lowest bid was accepted.
» That may have made the expenditure legal, accord
png to law, but it seems to us only common sense and prac
itical\that the government has the right to reject a bid for
'anything at 10 times the normal price low bid or high bid,
for rip bid at all. *
I *ln our way of thinking, the $454 difference ought to
Iconte out of the salary of the stupid officials who let a thing
}like that happen. And as soon as the $454 is deducted, his
•salary ought to be terminated and he also ought to be de-
insurance!

THE DEED IS DONE
Admiral Charles Maynard Cooke
was in charge of the "Pennsylvania"
at Pearl Harbor; he had 'been
chief of staff to Aomiral King dur
ing World War 11. He was in com
> mand of the Seventh Fleet from
1946 to 1948. He was in command
of all American combat forces in
China after General Wedemeyer
left that country.
In view of this record, tire Mc-
Calran Committee therefore sum
moned him to come to Washington
from Formas? where he is now
engaged in a commercial enterprise,
having retired from the Navy. In
his testimony before the McCarran
Committee, he filled in a number
of gaps in our information con
cerning the American relations with
China, which are now of tremen
dous importance to us because it
is on account of our errors in that
country that we are fighting in
Korea with at ‘east 100,000 casual
j ties. The following is extremely
, pertinent:
! "Senator Ferguson. Do you know
I anything about the supply of am
! munition to the Nationalist troops?
| "Mr. Cooke. Yes. After (Wede
• meyer) le*'t, around the Ist of Au
gust. 1946. the supply was cut off.
j "Senator Terbuson. Why?
) "Mr. Ccoke. Wei’. 1 didn’t do It,
, and I can’t say why.
I “Senator Ferguson. Did General
Marshall ever discuss that with
| you?
| “Mr. C oke. discussed it in
; general without making too much
comment except that he made the
■ observation to me that we. meaning
j tlto United States, had armed the
j Chinese, and now we were dis
' arming them. In other words, we
had undertaken to equip 30-odd
Chinese divisions, equip them with
guns and things of that kind, and
then we stopped the flow of am
munition and made a complete
embargo, -o we didn’t supply it or
wouldn’t let them buy it for a pe
riod of cbout ten months. I be
j lieve. He just made that observa
i tion to me. that is all. He wasn't
called on to do tt. hut he did do it.
“Senator Ferguson. It aroourrted
to disarming them because they
were not getting the ammunition
i for the ■ weapons we had'supplied
them?
‘■Mr. Ccoke. That is right.
“Senator. Ferguson. What effect
would the arming of the Nation
alists have had as far as the Com
munists were concerned?
“Mr. Cooke. Os course, the Com
munists were being very well sup
plied in Manchuria by the Rus
sians from arsenals and from cap
tured Japanese guns and ammu
nition. W? were practically certain
that was going on. and of course
in our White Paper reported from
our diplomatic representatives in
Moscow that it was going on. . . .
“Senator Ferguson. And General
.Marshall had told you that of
course that amounted to the dis
arming of the Nationalists?
"Mr. Ccoke. Yes."
This Chinese Communist Army
was built up, while the NattonaJiats
were di .s-med. end now we are
lighting the Chinese Communists
in Korea And for a number of
years, our State Department issued
propaganda to the effect that the
Chinese Communists were buying
American arms from corrupt Na
tionalists.
The State Department has also
made many statements of sending
supplies to Chiang Kai-shek which
were was s od. T have from time to
time stated that there wak an
embargo against the Nationalists
while tire Communists were being
supplied. Here is Admiral Cooke's
, sworn testimony on the subject:
T “Mr. Morris. What was the na
ture of the , embargo, Admiral
Coofce? .
“Mr- Coqke. fha United States
woujd supply no combat equipment
of any kind, including ammuni
; tion, ai)d they wouldn’t allow the
, Chinese to buv any in the United
States. Eventually I think they
bought some spare parts and may
be some transport planes, no com
bat planes but transport planes
like C-47's and C~Ws.
"Mr. Morris. Will you tell us
when this embargo went into ef
fect?
“Mr- Cooke. I can’t tell you ex
actly, but It was about «he Ist of
August, 1946.
“Mr. Morris. How long did that
stay in force?
“Mr. Cooke. Until the following
May
“Mr. Cooke. May, 1*47?
“Mr. Ccoke. Yes.
“Mr. Morris. During the time
that was in force wee the Chinese

OTHMAN
I WASHINGTON. Sometimes
I the press can interview a man and
I le*rp a lot; same,times as the
I Democrats’ new boss discovered
I it’s vice versa. Maybe this is all
I to the good.
Frank E. McKinney of Indiana-
I polls, Ind., in any event, had been
I Chairman of the Democratic Nat-
I tonal Committee for an h6ur and
I a half by the clock when he called
I his first press conference. Plump,
1 4 wavy haired and well pressed In a
I blue pin-stripe suit, he strode
II briskly to his desk and took a seat
I! beneath an almost life-size photo-
I graph of Harry Truman in tech-
I nicolor.
I The desk was a whopper. Upon
I its glass-covered walnut expanse
I were two pencils, a pristine scratch
I pad. and a large or politician-size
ash tray. With a solid gold cigarette
lighter McKinney ignited a fat
- cigar and looked expectantly at his
audience. He didn't have long to
wait; there were almost as many
newspaper reporters jammed in
his office as had ganged up for a
look at Princess Elizabeth the
night before. This time they were
primed with questions.
McKinney apollgized for being a
little late; he’d been held up a
little at a conference with Mr.
Truman.
■s “He say he was going to run
>, again next year?” demanded a re
i,; porter.
II The chairman almost' swallowed
e his cigar. Then he made a quick
r recovery and said this wasn’t dis
ci cussed. He said it was his own
e opinion that if Mr. T. were in
. | terested, he’d be a sure winner.
! ; He said he’d” suggested to the
I President that he take out of poll
>l tics Collectors of Internal Revenue
e— several of whom lately were
- fired for fiscal trickery and put
- ’em under Civil Service. Mr- Tru
d man agreed this was a good idea.
“How serious a threat (to a
). Democratic victory) do you- think
g * this internal revenue situation is?"
g inquired one of the chairman's
. new friends.
I “I don’t think it’s serious,” he
i said. “There’s beep an inference
r j that there's dirt under the carpet.”
■1 “Inference!” exclaimed his in
e quisitor. "They’ve been indicted,
o haven’t they?”
* McKinney took a deep puff on
his cheroot. Then he changed the
e subject. He said he did not seek
1 j his new job. “When I first read
t ] about it in the newspapers back
it j home," he added, “I thought some
body was pulling a big joke on me.”
“Maybe they jvere," suggested a
s correspondent.
The chairman blinked. Another
questioner wondered whether he
t believed the Democratic leader
e ship over the years had gotton
e away from the people. That was
y an easy one; MqKinney snapped:
y “I do not.”
"Well, do you think the people
i have gotten away from the leader
s ship?” asked another inquisltioner.
McKinney said if they had, he’d
try to do something about it. He
also said that he intended first to

tfapitoJ «
[ JITTERY Question has been
, raized in some quarters about the
propriety of the governor of North
Carolina going on a fishing trip
as guest of a man who sells a lot
of sand and gravel to the State.
Also there has been some criticism
of the governor accepting hospitality
of owners of private airplanes for
trips over the country. During the
past tow days there has even been
heard comment about the governor
; and high ranking personnel of the
highway department accepting en
tertainment and gifts of brief cases
from the"people of Fayetteville. Not
a single person with whom your
reporter has talked thinks there is
anything wrong in these matters.
The adverse comment is regarded
as evidence that some people are
simply suffering from a bad case
of Jitters because of rumors and
developments of monkey-business
among high ranking officials in
Washington.
BASELESS There is no real
1 justification for these jitters, but
there is some excuse. The difference
between a free trip,to Europe or a
vacation in a swank Florida hotel
and a week-end at the beach or a
fishing trip off the coast, is in
degree rather than in kind. There
is an old adage to the effect that
people who . live in glass houses
should not throw stones. That
might be referred to read that peo
ple who throw stones should not
live in glass houses. Stated an
other way. the head man in an ad
ministration which has made big
capital out of proposals to clean
up “petty graft” among State eme
ployees, must need be more than
normally careful in accepting com
pletely honest and innocent fav
ors.
HELPFUL That idea should
not be carried to the extreme point
that a man must associate him
self from all his friends Just be
cause he. happens to hold public
office. One of the main troubles
with public officials is they do not
keep enough contacts with the run
of-mind citizenship they serve. The
governor and the highway commis
sioners and ( the other officials can
do a much better job if they take
time out from official duties to
consort with contractors and bank
ers and cotton mill workers and
truck drivers and mechanics and
reporters. All this stuff about the
governor being seduced by a fish
ring trip on a rich man’s bout or a
dinner given by reporters who cover
his office is a lot of Ush-tosh and
bunk. Fact is, if governors and
presidents and other big shots did
that kind of thing more often they’d
be better officials.'
TAGGED Here’s a cute little
human intreest story from Greens
boro. A business man there took a
bunch of magazines to the Masonic
home and was recognized by one
of the "guests" frdm several previ
ous visits. The guest, an elderly
woman, spoke to him and said:
“You are not a Mason, are you?
The man sort of shame-facedly
admitted he was not. “I was sure
you were not.” said the woman,
because no Mason ever brings us
anything." That’s a true story
yet. The qquestioners then led J
him throligh a discussion of why
he'd refused to accept the 835.000
salary of his new office and how
he'd divested himself of most of i
his business Interests. “I’m only
retaining my banking, radio, and
real estate interests, “he said.
"That all?” one of the
writers.
The chairman sighed. And ' I
must report in ail honesty that he
acquitted himself well at o.ne of
the iqost difficult ordeals the
press conference that the top
men here must undergo.

woman was exaggerating; but
names and places can be substitut

stand up anywhere.
BAND Some Carolina fans *t
the Tennessee game Saturday •
were concerned at first because the V
; Tennpsseans did not have their
very fine band along. There was
1 some discussion about why toe band
wasn’t along. During the half re
cess period, one of the fellows who
had been worried brightened up.
He had found the answer, and he
expressed it in ungramattical but
forceful language; “The Tennes
see folks just knowed they didn’t
need no band.” His crude but hon
est comment was Justified by toe
score-board: Tennessee, 27; Caro- **
1 Una, 0. Another Carolina chap
wasn't so philosophical about it/
He said he felt he was entitled to
somq good music for Ms ticket,
since he didn’t see a good football
' game.
NICKELS As a result of Sat
urday’s election among purchasers
of commercial feeds and fertilizer,
! the agricultural research program
in North Carolina will get enough a
extra nickels next year and each *
, year thereafter to add between
$150,000 and |200,000 annually to
the fund available for such use.
Leaders in the movement are both
happy and disappointed. They are
happy at the preponderant majori
ty rung up for the plan of adding
five cents a ton to the purchase
price of feed and fertilizer. The
vote was approximately twelve to
one. They are not at all happy
over the fact that only about 700.-
000 eligible voters took the trouble *
to express an opinion. Advance In
formation was that approximately
half a million persons could vote.
CONCENTRATION Children
suffering from cerebal palsy got
a break last week. The State as
sociation of beer distributors at Its
State convention voted to concen- %
trate charitable contributions to
that cause. Instead of spreading
the dollars over a diversified field 9
the association voted to adopt one
major objective. Spokesmen for the
group made it clear this action
does not preclude’interest in other
worthy projects; but like tjie Lions
Clubs concentrate on aid to the
blind. Shriners on aid to crippled
children, Kiwanlui* and RJks on
generally under-privileged young
sters. the beer distributors will
amounts varied all the way from
two thousand to forty thousand dol
lars a year, with mast eommooly
accepted figures between Ore and
ten thousand, to b* mads Tail
able tor the overall project In this
State for helping kid* who are
pommonly known as “spastica.”
JOKE Whether it was delib
erate or inadvertent, whether It
was serious or a Joke, and Who (he
Joke was on. are still unanswered
questions. Anyway, a lot of "folks tk
are still chuckling about one item
in Governor Scott’s opech to the
| recent State CJO-PAC convention.
1 The governor was talking about
conservation of water resources
’ through federal development of
multi-purpose projects on State
I streams. He used, |o support his
contention, several quotations from
statements made many yean ago
by William Howard Tgft,
served the nation well as president
and chief justice of the United at
States supreme court. The last w
president was father of Senator
Robert A. Taft, co-author of the
Taft-Hartiey act, whose name is
’ anathema In any labor union
group.
