Selection of the two outstand ing seniors means that the two youth will be eligible for further evaluation by the committee at Chapel Hill prior to the final sel ection, to .be made by the Central Committee.

Shepard Bryan, Chairman of the committee, said that the entire list of candidates evidently was “the cream” of the senior classes as he had never before seen such a prom ising and distinguished group of high school seniors from Harnett -County. He congratulated O. T. Proffit, County Superintendent, and a member of the committee, for the fine work accomplished in the Harnett Courty schools, as revealed b) the products constituting the list of candidates.

Hall. A dispute between President Ei senhower and Sen. Joseph R. Mc- Carthy (R-Wis) about the present administration's success in rooting subversives and security risks out of government is another matter entirely. It is, at least so far as Republican grand political strat egy is concerned. When Republican politicians talk about Communists - in-govemment they mean the government under former Presidents Franklin D. Roos evelt and Harry S. Truman. When Mr. Eisenhower talks about the issue of Communists-in-government being displaced by more urgent problems by campaign time he may mean Communist infiltration into the present government, of which {ie is the head. That was Hall’s position when he said on Nov. 15 that Republicans would make Communists-in-govern ment “one of the main issues” in 1954. That was the understanding of some of Mr. Elsenhower’s White House advisers who privately passed the word that the Harry Dexter White expose of last month was only the beginning of a series. Senate Majority Leader William F. Know land (Calif) chimed in last week with assurance that Commu nisb-in-government would be a 1064-56 election issue because vot ers would ask “whether Demo cratic candidates have the same naive approach as the last Tru man administration.” It .remained, however, for Atty. Oen.JHerbert Brownell Jr., to make it official in his capacity as a mem- Mr. Bieehhower-8 cabinet In a transcribed address to Tex ans this week, Brownell said he “brought out” the facts on Tru man administration Handling of the White case because the people were entitled to know what goes on In their government.

Informed sources revealed that Mr. Eisenhower also has endorsed the Pentagon’s long-range plan for slicing about 600,000 men oft the Army, Navy and Marine Corps and boosting the Air Force expansion goal to 137 wings by mid-1957. The nation’s defense chiefs sub mitted the proposed new military program to the President at a White House meeting last Saturday. Although the general outline of the plan became known, Mr. Eis enhower’s action so far has not been made 'public. It was learned, however, that he approved the “general outer of approved the “general order of magnitude” of defense spending at a secret meeting of the National Security Council Wednesday. Some details still remain to be worked out before the plan is submitted to Congress next year. The total budget for the fiscal year beginning next July 1 is un derstood to call for spending be tween 38 billten dollars and 39 billion dollars on defense. That compares with the spending esti mate for the current fiscal year— 'Continued ea Pam 8) Four Injured In Series Os Wrecks Four persons were injured, two I of than seriously, in automobile I the** 1 weekend, 1 the State Highway J Patrol wpoeteatoday. __ J soty Haute 1, ttJMJteDimnHoaj NO. 12 Many New Firms Opened; Much Building Done A report on business growth released by Norman J.
