Hi period last year. The estimate, believed to be figuring
Hi large in the administration’s sixe-up of the present eco

I'- parentty is back at the same old stand. It had been three
I jjfi * months since Red publications or broadcasts made any ,
Hr mention of Mao’s attending a public function, and specu-
II latum had mounted that he, either was seriously ill 1 or
dead. But this week the New ‘China pews agency said in
a Peiping dispatch that Mao had presided at the first
meeting of a committee delegated .to write a new national
constitution. The dispatch took on unusual significance
since it was played up in especially large type by Red
newspapers.

Experts

ministration, should take more posi
tive steps to "bui)d up purchas
ing power, production and employ
ment." Such measures are needed
now, he Mid, "to prevent the 'de- -
dine from going further and to re- ,
store the full employment of 1952.” ,
Government experts, however,
said that the economic program
laid down by President Elsenhower
in January still is adequate to cope
with the present situation. The
President attributed the economic
dip mainly to a pileup of Inven
tories.

i loner replied, according to Scott,
I ‘Well, you’re the boss’. And that,
I said Scott, ‘U how I got ’em'.
I “Os couma, (hs rank and file of
I North Carolinians, not being Gov-
I ernor, couldn’t order a network of
I new highways around their horn*,”
I continued Rodman. “Utoy just took
what was given them and were
[ grateful.
[ “But there are other points of
interest on the Scott farm roads,
[ net counting tnree rather expens
ive bridges and an underpass or
two for the convenience and safety
of the Scott cows, sometmng on)7
a few other farmers got.
SCOTT GOT BIG CHECK
“By all means visitors should
look over the new location of U.
S. Route 70, a super-highway whicn
runs tor about a mile through
Scott property. They can’t see tne
*12,658 check paid to tne Governor
lor his 39 acres of right-of-way,
lor according to him he used that
money to buy a 480-acre farm in
Orange County. That was a craqker-
Jack trade.
‘(During the Scott administra
tion, the Filth Highway Division,
| spent in Alamance County nearly
one million dollars more than the
I amount of Division funds allocated
to that county. That, of oourae,
meant that other counties in the
Division got nearly a million less
in improved roads. This Is meet in
teresting to people from those
counties still on muddy roads.
SOLD GRAVEL, TOO
“While the visitors are pondering
this, they might wander over to the
rock quarry on the Scott farm and j
i see where a contractor extracted 1
j gravel for use in building roads 1
. under a lease agreement with the j
. Governor. It might be interesting 1
t to ask the guide if the ex-Gov
t erqor is still profiting from the
. quarry, as the lease reportedly was
to run for 10 years.
“From the quart th« sight-see
ing visitor might move >n to the
i spot from which the Governor sold
i top-soil used In constructing the
i new Durham-Chapet Hill highway,
f This is exceedingly interesting, as
1 we are informed that better top
s soil was available adjacent to the .
new road. •
ucw ruaa*
“Visitors no doubt win wonder
why top-soil was hauled all the way
, from Haw River through Orange
, County and into Durham County,
if plenty of better-grade top-soil;
f' was much nearer, but of course,
I this' Is just one of the wonders
about Mr. Scott’s ‘model’ of com
munity Improvement,
HE ATTEMPTED GRAB
“Aftother cause for wonder would:
>, have been th* roads he expected to]
build with the $750,000 In surplus!
highway money he tried to grab'
for Alamance during the tail-end
of bis administration, out public
furore caused him to back down
and now We can only speculate whe
ther he Intended to make his ‘mo
del community’ even more model.
"Altogether, thl* should make for
a very interesting *nd educational
excursion. Certainly, there is no
thing else lflle It In North Carolina.
But you have to give Mr. soott
credit for doing it all himself As
he told a reporter: ‘You know damn
well we’d never have got these
roads If Fd waited for some otiAr
administration to glee ’em to us’.
"That’s certainly true. No other
Governor in the State’s history
ever did so well by himself
“And that points up one of the
many tilings people like about Sen
ator Lennon. He’s not the type to
‘feather his own nest’ at public
expense. He’s just not the grasping
kind."
