M. on Tuesday and Thursday in its drive to win bargaining rights in the election to be held &t the Erwin Mills on Friday. Delegations of Erwin workers <c- from Durham and Cqoleemee, where the UTWA-AFL won landslide vic tories in the National Labor Rela tions Board elections on October Ist were invited to attend the two meetings.

It was reported that the ‘AFL _ Victory Committee of 50” had been enlarged to an “AFL Victory ’Com mittee of 100” in order to enable ac ive Erwin workers who were volunteering, to participate in the AFL campaign. TO SWITCH VOTE Local 250, UTWA-AFL Business agent Thomas West said: “Every day dozens of Erwin workers tell us or come by the UTW-AFL of fice to let us know that they voted either CIO or “No-Union” in the October Ist election, but are going 3? to vote AFL on the 17th, so that all Erwin workers will be in the same Union-the AFL.” Edgar Maynard, UTWA-AFL leader from the Erwin-Durham plant said: “With the signing of our UTWA-AFL cbntract at Dur ham and Cooleemee, we are now busy processing the grievances that the CIO left kicking around and that we couldn’t get settled because of CIO interference. The other Erwin workers are waiting for the V AFL victory in Erwin on the 17th so that Negotiating Committees from these three Erwin locals can begin working on plans for a new and improved Union contract.” Jh&M *, JjiJtk JhmqA IT’S NOT SAFE TO BET ON ELECTION THIS YEAR This is not a good year to bet on A the presidential election. Even if we had the noney, we wouldn’t think about even a small wager. This is not just an opinion, either. It’s an authoratlve statement and the authority is none other than our good friend, Dewey Whitten ton. Dewey out-galloped the Gallop poll and everybody else four years ago. When everybody around here was predicting Truman would be defeated Dewey kept reminding them that Truman would win. He has been just as successful at predicting other elections. We got to thinking about the election the other day and decided we might wager up to 50 cents on the election, provided we could get a good hot tip from Dewey. “I’m sitting right on top of the fence this time,” declared the pro minent Dunn Democrat. “I’d be • Continued On Pare Three) 50-Pound Os Ice Glen White, proprietor of I Dunn-Rite Bakery, today | v was gathering the materials for a huge 50-pound cake, and James Surles, manager of Gardner’s Dairy, was stocking up ice cream for the big all-day Registration Party to be staged here Thursday.

Dean A. R.

Os the last year edu cational budget $380,000, Campbell i received $40,000. There are seven j denominational colleges under Bap tist subsidy, he stated.

Mr Harden declined to give any date or estimate of a date as to when work will actually be started. He emphasized- that everything depends upon business conditions in the textile field. Burlington Mills is one of the world’s largest textile concerns and citizens of Harriett are looking forward to securing this badly needed new industry. HAS FINE REPUTATION All Burlington Mills plants are ultra-modern in every iespect. Wherever Burlington Mills are lo cated the company enjoys excellent relations with its employees and with citizens of the community. The textile depression is not pe culiar with Burlington Mills for all mills have experienced the same problem during the past two years. Burlington is one of the most pro gressive of all and has shown rapid growth and expansion.

Harris, appearing as the first witness on the second day of the subcommittee’s hearing, refused to swear he was not a member of the Communist party at the time he was engaged in secret war work for the office of strategic services. He declined on the constitutional ground of possible self-incrimina tion. The distinguished gray - haired doctor of philosophy testified he was loyal to the United States while with the OSS.
