PoTifical Shift In N. C. Is

most important political development of the last year in'
your state?
Thejnost important political development of 1950 in
NofJßTCarc'fna was evidence of the greatest shift in public
Sin two years that has been seen in the State
s.
evidence was in the nomination and election of
Allis Smith two years after the election of Gov

election of a Legislature that approved most of

men were in control of the Legislature elected

;he senatorial election cff last year occurred two
years earlier, the logical assumption is that Dr. Frank
P. Graham, supported by the same people who nominated
ScoflJJgpuld have defeated Smith, a conservative whose
vie more in accord with those of Senators Byrd,
Geoage-end Russell and (Governor Byrnes than those of
GovglnSr Scott and Dr. Graham, loyal supporters of most
of administration’s policies.
JSSSth was comparatively a newcomer in the politics
of He had served terms in the Legislature, with
conspicuous ability, but he had never sought the vote of
the people outside Wake county. He had served as president
of the-American Bar Association, but his political exper
ienc£had been limited to that of a State legislator elected
by the people of his home county.
Dr. Graham had served in the United States Senate
by appctotment and had a record of nearly 20 years of
. successful service as president of the University of North
CarqMna, He had a host of qrdent admirers and friends

yet thetJemocratic voters of the same State who selected
Scott for governor , in 1948 gave Smith the victory over
Graham in the contest of 1950, despite all the influence
■ of the-Governor and his organization. And the same
State that elected a pro-Scott Legislature in 1948 elected
a Legislature in 1.550 that would not follow his leadership.

These Days
- By
W
OR WAR
It is apparent that the British
and the French are convinced that
the United States is over-fearful of
■ a general war. Both countries are
anxious net to be loaded down with
devastating war budgets; both
countries are unwilling to contrib
ute too heavily, in manpower, to
a European army. Both countries
suffer from the surprising effec
tiveness of Soviet propaganda in
their countries.
I, is often .suggested that as
they are European, they ought to
. know, better than we do, whether
, the Russians are the menace they
seem to be.
But what exactly is it that they
f know? It is that the United States
is not withdrawing the divisions
of Americans stationed in Europe:
\ that American industry is "piling
’ up production, utilizing American
1 man-heurs and American raw ma
terials for European defenses; that
■ American airplanes and atom
bombs delivered by Americans will
be available at whatever'the zero
hour may be. Two general wars
have taught them that they can
; depend upon the United States, as
the President’s speech to Congress
continues to indicate.
That they know. And what they
ask is that we require smaller con
tributions from them. The British
, cannot do much because they are
busy in Malaya; the French can
; not do much because they are busy
• in French Indo-China. The Bnt
-1 ish require more money because
they are having a difficult time
■ keeping up their dollar reserves;
; the French complain that it cost
’ them as much in Indo-China as
they received under the Marshall
; Plan, so they really got nothing
from the United States because it
: all equalized. In other words, if it
cost the United States somewhere
• in the neighborhood of $25,000,000,-
• 000 and more than 103,000 casual
[ ties in Korea, why not in French
Indo-China?
Apparently, that is where we
stand with our allies and it is a
bit difficult to grasp what General
Eisenhower and W. Averell Har
! riman and all the bright people
! who handle our future have been
doing in Europe. The experts TOI
■ pagesjtth lots of, words wjiieh 1 do ,
not Bear analysis', because wrtfrr
; results are measured against state
ments, the sides of the ledger do
not balance. It is difficult to for
■ mulate in plain language what has
l happened.
And \Ve are now assured that
there will be no war In 1952. That
is what Winston Churchill tells us,
and it is a happy statement,
i But how do we translate those
words into action? Do we stop
mobilizing our industry for mili
tary purposes? Do we take con--
trols off prices, wages, profits and
rents? Do we stop exporting our
sons and wealth to Europe? Do
we discontinue the mobilization of
ns in armies that do not
0- to go? What pre
cisely dees ;t mean to us to be
freed from the fear of a general
war?
Mr. Churchill assures us that
1952 is to be “solid.” whatever that
i may mean. If it is an “solid” as
Churchill says. We have either been
misinformed or we are being mis
informed. We could use some facts.
Actually, oUr peril is that we
are being isolated by our allies.
They do not w ant war any more
than we do. Probably Stalin does
not want war any more than we
do.
But again, we have to define
war. It is no longer the conven
tional battlefield at which a field
marshal gazes through a spy-glass.
It is like feeding heroin to an
entire nation. It is saddling the
- richest and most powerful nation
, with costs of preparation until
bankruptcy results not from war
but from the preparation for war;
liberty is destroyed not by defeat
in war but by the controls and
regulations set up during the prep
aration for war. It is the planned
1 destruction of civilization.
> In the end Socialism triumphs
and there is no need to be so
, antagonistic to the ideas Os the
Kremlin; only the personalities be
come objectionable. All rulers be
i come Titos!
Winston Churchill does not mean
! that kind of war, because he is
still thinking in terms of marching
soldiers and flying planes and
diplomacy on a high level such
as he experienced at Teheran and
Yalta. But Stalin’s diplomats are
the thief. Dr. - Itia-us Fuchs, and
the wretch, Alger Hiss. His sol
diers organize strikes and infil
trate universities His fliers are the
agents who steal plans out Os lab

WASHINGTON. Though Mar
garet Truman got her break in
radio because si*’s the President’s
daughter, she'll stay in the big
time whether her father remains
in the White House or not.
Inside fact is that the National
Broadcasting Company at first
wouldn't take a chance on Mar
garet past the 1952 election, care
fully dated her Contract to expiie
November 12, 1952—0ne week after
the next President is elected.
However, Margaret has made such
a hit with radio fans that NBC vis
already dickering to extend her
contract to July 1954.
The original contract, which NBC
tired to pawn off on Margaret, was
full of jokers. It not only abruptly
cut her, off in case she was ho
longer the President's daughter af
ter November 1952, but gave NBC
the right to use her on any pro
gram or to advertise any product.
In other words, NBC could have
used her on cheap comedy hours
and forced her to advertise a prod
uct embarrassing the White House.
Before Margaret sigr|fd, how
ever, the President suggested that
she lef his former brain truster,
Clar|t Clifford, look over the con
' tract; Clifford happens to draw a
large retainer from the Radio
Corporation of America, owner of
NBC, which put him in the posi
tion of serving both Margaret and
Margaret’s employer. Nonetheless
he examined the small print, and
red-lined certain points in the con
tract with the result that NBC
toned it down, gave Margaret the
right to reject undesirable programs
or advertisers.
Now NBC is sold on Margaret
• and wants to keep her on her own
merits. ‘
UNRECONSTRUCTED
GEORGE ALLEN
General Ike’s announcement that
he :j a Republican put his close
frier, d, George Allen, comedian ad
viser to Presidents, right on the
spot.
Alien is a Mississippi Democrat,
a p%>tege of the late Senator Pat
Harrison, a friend of Franklin D.
Roosevelt and crony of Harry S.
Truman. He has been on several
week-end yacht cruises with the
latter of late.
When the General threw his hat
in the ring from Paris, an Eisen
hower booster called Allen and
said happily: “Now that Ike's real
ly in, we’d like you to head the
Southern Democrats for Eisen
hower.” ”
“Look,” he said, “I’m a Demo
crat, born and bred one. I can’t go
around shifting parties like one of
these restless Republicans."
HUNGARIAN
COMMUNIST ENVOY
While American diplomats and
CUTIES
.iywSiSjil . JV&m
the U. S. government are treated
to back-talk and shake-downs
from the government of communist
Hungary, the United States has
done nothing about the Hungarian
minister in Washington, Dr. Emil
Weil, whose record certainly jus
tifies his recall.
Dr. Weil, whose wife is one of
■ the doctors of communist Premier
Rakosi, not only directed the drug
ging of Cardinal Mindszenty but is
one of the most trusted members
of the small group of communists
now running Hungary.
He is so trusted that he was
selected as minister to Washington
to undertake the delicate and ex
tremely important job qf building
up an underground among the
many thousands of Hungarian im
migrants in the United States,
j It is no secret that all iron cur
tain envoys in Washington are
given the job of maintaining con
tacts with immigrants from their
countries, and to organize as many
as possible into fifth columns.
Criginally the job of organizing
Hungarian-Americans was entruSt
; ed to Tonjanos Florian, secretary of
the Hungarian legation in Wash
ington. He did such a good' job
that the State’ Department totrtf
advantage of the public reaiction
to the Cardinal Mindszenty trial
to declare Florian persona non
grata and ordered him back to
Hungary.
ORGANIZING
U. S. UNDERGROUND
Next diplomat to take charge of
the Hungarian underground in the
U. S. Was Hungarian Minister
Imre Horvath, a Moscow-trained
agent of the Hungarian secret po
#liee. Despite this, when it came
to organizing an underground,
Horvath was a flop. Under him,
circulation of the Hungarian com
munist newspaper in the United
States, Magyar Govo, dropped from
40.000 to about 3,000.
So Minister Horvath was recall
ed, and in his place Dr. Emil Well,
high up in communist party coun
cils, was appointed an envoy in
Washington.
Reason for Weil’s selection was
the belief that he would be able
to organize the Hungarian Intelli
gentsia in the United States. His
Instructions were:
1. To organize the Moscow peace
movement.
2. Take advantage of religious
differences to stir up as much dis
cord as possible among Ifungarlan-
Americans.
3. Organize a 1945 bloc. This
meant organizing as many Hun
parian-Americans as possible into
a group ,which would declare that
Aungary’X futiire lay with the
people’s democracy (communist)

HOW DICTATORS DEVELOP
When a man remains in power
for a few years, he subconsciously
begins to think he is the “Master
Iglnd” for his employees or voting
constituents.
And their normal deference soon
creates an emotional hunger in
hifh which demands more and
more deference, Just as the dope
, addict demands larger and larger
doses of morphine.
Then he subconsciously begins to
plan f6r his permenpnt tenure in
office. This is natural, for people
to begin to feel a proprietary sense
regarding property or prerogatives
that they have wielded exclusively
for a number of years.

SPINSTER, 45, SAYS HER LONE
LINESS HAS BEEN ERASED BY
WIDOWER. BUT BHE SEES OB
stacles to Marriage
dear Mary HAWORTH: I am
45, unmarried, an only child, and
since my father’s death 22 years
ago, I have bee» my mother's sole
support. Although we- get along
well together, we’ve never been
very close, and mother has never
shown any sympathetic interest In
my life. I have never been able to
discuss my feelings, anxieties ar)4
dreams with her; and as a result
I have mostly found release and
contentment in books and plays—
living my dreams ih the character
thus portrayed.
Since I can remember, I never
thought of marriage for myself.
it was for all others I Ipiew, but
not for mb. I don’t know how I
acquired this trend of thinking,
but I was very shy and never emo
tionally awakened by the few
young men I dated years ago. I
was alwaYs conscious of mother’s
disapproval; or shall I say, she
ihade die feel awkward and self
conscious; but as f had no tirlous
hear t-interests ih glrlhoOd, it
didn't bother ih'e too mulch.
Today, howefer. I am really
troubled. I am v*ry muCh in love
with a most wonderful man my
age, a widower fat 10 years? and
he has similar loVe for me. OUT
days together have beeh a 1 Joy.

HOW KINGS DEVELOP
1 He may even begin to think of
having ha song or other kinsmen
succeed him. Almost ah royal lines
have thus begun by having an elec
ted chipftatn decide that he was
indispensable and then that be
actually owhed the job so his fam
ily should inherit it.
Dictatorship 13 chiefly an intense
state of egotism that develops in
those who have held Supreme pow-.
er too long.
We have thousands of employers, i
as well as labor unton officials,
and teachers as well as Clergymen,
politicians as well as parents, 'who
have actually become dictators by
following this insidious psychole
gical pathway.
But dictatorships are dangerous
to the average citizen. Our fore
fathers had this in mind when thee
limited a U. S. Representative's
term of office to 2 years and a
Senator's to 6 years.
IMPROVE CONGRESS
It is much harder to corrupt a
rotating police force than one
whose officers remain on fixed
beats for 10 to 20 years.
A changing membership in Con
gress is likewise wholesome, for
the professional lobbyist cannot,
control the new men as well as
those he has dealt with for 10
years.
It would be wise, therefore, if
our U. S. Senators were limited to
not more than two consecutive
terms arid our U. S. Congressmen
to not over 10 years of consecutive
tenure.
“But it takes IQ to 20 years for
a man to get on to the ropes,”
some senile Senator may protest.
If it does, he must be a moron!
Any smart man ought to be on to
the ropes within A year or two. If
not, he is certainly wasting the
taxpayers money.

IS SHE DREAMING OF
. FACING FACTS
DEAR T. F.: You don’t say that
John has proposed marriage; there,
fore, I Infer- that he hasn’t. But
perhaps you naivelyriake for grant
ed that mutual love (or symptoms
1 of same), or a loverlike attitude
: on a man’s part, means that
: “serious intentions” are -implicit in
the exchange. If such is your view,
' it may be presuming too much, in
sofar as John’s mind is concerned.
1 The fact that he has been a wid
> ower for 10 years is evidence that
- marriage hasn't a strong appeal
for him. Ordinarily a youthful
widower who is well disposed to
’ wards the married state—who iden
tifies it with comfort, security and j
beloved comptmionship doesn't
. wait long to mSrry again.
The additional fact that John l
■ evokes great sentimental concern
i in you, and a feeling 6f "giving,
helping and sharing” emotions *
never released before—suggests that
he may be caSt ih the meld Os
: childish, dependent, demai)dlhg ‘
character, unschooled in self-re- ‘
liance and responsibility to" others.
: And' perhaps in t*hls respect he. re- ’
