Harrall Pope Would
Make An Ideal Judge
The Daily Record enthusiastically joins the Harnett
and Greensboro bar associations in endorsing Attorney
Albert Harrall Pope of Greensboro for appointment as
Superior Court Judge for the Guilford district.
We know of no lawyer in that district better qualified
by training, experience or ability to fill the post than the
Dunn native.
Attorney Pope was heartily endorsed for the office
by his fellow lawyers in Greensboro, then by the Harnett
County Bar Association and other citizens throughout
the State who know himj have joined in support of him.
As the resolution unanimously adopted last week by
Harnett lawyers points out, the distinguished young
Greensboro attorney is an “able lawyer of the highest
qualifications for the office."
Harrall Pope was bom in Dunn, son of Mr. and Mrs.
L. Busbee Pope, Sr., and graduated with high honors
from Dunn High School, Duke University and the Duke
Law School. At Duke, where requirements are unusually
strict, the Dunn man managed to keep in the upper
bracket of his class and was consistently among those
on the Dean’s list for outstanding scholastic performance.
He is a serous student of the law, thoroughly trained.
Well-read and experienced in every phase of the legal
field.
For the past several years, he has been a member of
the big law firm of Smith, Moore, Smith and Pope at
Greensboro. His selection as a partner in this big law
fiqm, known from coast to coast, is within itself an en
dorsement and tribute to his outstanding legal ability.
Aside from his experience, ability and knowledge of
the law, Harrall Pope possesses the calm, dignified tem
perament so badly needed by mJembers of the judiciary
of North Carolina.
He is also a man with a keen sense of honor, integrity,
responsibility and duty who would serve in a manner that
would reflect credit , distinction and dignity on that high
office and the State of North Carolina.
We might also point out here that Harrall Pope is not
a politician. We think that fact is also in his favor, and
to his credit.
It is our hope that Governor Luther Hodges will see
fit to appoint this distinguished lawyer to the bench. We
do not believe he could make a better appointment.

ON BROADWAY
NEW YORK—It was so crowded
around that the Capacabana chorus'
girls were practically in Eddie
Fisher’s lap and he has a very
nice lap. 1
Sammy Davis Jr., wearing his
eyepatch as his artificial eye
isn’t in perfect order yet sang,
danced, drummed and tootled a
cornet in an opening that was just
heaven for us name-droppers.
“I do hope that Eddie Fisher
comes in some time to hear this,”
Sammy screamed after doing an
imitation of Eddie and all the
time Eddie with his glasses on
was sitting ringside with Darlin’
Debbie Reynolds, and Debbie was
wearing a black hat about as big
as a peanut. Also a dress, of course.
I sat there interviewing Anita
Ekberg, the tall beautiful Swedish
glamour doll, who flew in from
Hollywood to be the Symbol of Sin
at the Art Students League's
Dream Ball Wednesday.
She also had on a hat, a big one
for a big girl and also a dress.
“Debbie and I must be the only
girls here wearing hats,” Miss Ek
berg said, worriedly.
It didn’t matter, for Sammy Jr.
was so great that he overshadowed
everybody. Sonja Henie sat there
with Ed Wynne of the Harwyn
Club, Mike Todd with Eveyn Keyes,
and Jack E. Leonard, the comedian,
definitely had his back up—against
Marilyn Monroe’s chair.
This 28-year-old genius also at
tracted folks like Sid Caesar, Bob
by Sherwood, and Bert Parks—and
found time to ask “How do you
like my new tuxedo jacket without
pockets?”
“Cye Martin made it,” he said,
June Royals, with Mrs. Roger Col
lier as co-hostess. Mrs. Harold Wil
liford gave the worship service.
Mrs. G. R. Washburn presented the
program. Talks were given by Mrs.
W. C. Williams, Mrs. Earl McLel
lan, Miss Eloise Connelly, Mrs.
Gordon Washburn, Mrs. H. T.
Caine and Mrs. Carl Langston. The
subject was, “The Newcomer to
City, Our Neighbor.” Mrs. Line
berger of Dunn was a special guest,
and after the program talked in
formally about the work of the
society. During the social hour the
hostesses served delightful refresh
ments.

Miss Ekberg—whom I started to
interview a few paragraphs back—
was an equally outstanding beauty
at the nig opening of “Cat On a
Hot Tin Roof’’ where I beheld Roz
Russell in a pink ostrich feather
hat. Truman Capote with Irene
Selznick, and Miss Terry Moore
snuggling up to an unattached col
umnist.
The opening was so full of Big
Names that when Patricia Munsel
came in, a photographer turned his
camera toward her and she said,
concerning a man in front of her,
“Go ahead and take his picture.”
The man in front paused and
struck a pose.
“Would you get out of the way,
mister?” asked the photographer. “I
want the LADY’S picture.”
Bashfully, the man walked on.
He was merely the man who wrote
the words the actors were going to
say—Tennessee Williams.

Crying Need in Middle East
Is Some Political Stability
, s*. BY PETER EDSON
MA Washington Correspondent
TJ7ASHINCTON—(NEA)— It cost the United States nearly S6O
** million last year to feed Arab refugees in the Middle East.
There are now over 900,000 of these refugees. The cost of their
upkeep is only $1.25 a week per person.
All of the United Nations, whose wards these refugees really
are, agreed to contribute to their support. But most of the other
nations just don’t pay their share. So Uncle Sam picks up the tab.
Herded behind barbed wire in desert concentration camps, these
Arab refugees are perhaps the most pitiful people in the world,
outside the Iron Curtain. They are now increasing at the rate of
100,000 a year, births over deaths. When first driven out of Pales
tine they numbered 650,000.
Nobody wants these displaced people. There is no arable land
in the area on which they can be resettled. The problem of making
new homes for them—and getting them off the backs of the U. S.
taxpayers at the same time—may therefore take as much as ten
years to work out. i
THE KEY TO THIS PLAN is to get Israel, Jordan, Syria and
Lebanon to agree on harnessing and sharing the water of the
Jordan River system.
Preliminary blueprints for this development have been ready for
several years. Engineers know just how it could be done. It would
cost $l2O million. It could develop 100,000 kilowatts of electric
power. . :
Water stored behind the dams could irrigate 250,000 acres in the
four countries. And on those acres an estimated one third of the
Arab refugees could be resettled. That would be a start
Sixteen months ago President Eisenhower named Eric A. Johnston
as his special ambassador to try to get the four countries to agree
on joint Jordan River development. . j
MR. JOHNSTON HAS JUST returned from his third unsuccess
ful mission to the area. In April or May he will try again. By
the end of this year he feels there may be agreement.
The main reason for all this dillying and dallying, however, is
that the two sides—the three Arab countries on the one hand and
the Israelis on the other—wanted to talk more about their war with
each other than about something that might promote their com
mon welfare.
Eric Johnston left the Middle East just before- the recent Gaza
incident broke out, in which 38 Egyptians and eight Israelis were
killed. The UN Armistice commission has just held Israel responsi
ble for stirring up this fuss.
It will unquestionably set back the Jordan plan. But this has
been typical of the entire eight-year history of Israel. Every time
the Middle East begins to quiet down, some new incident is pro
voked to raisb a dust storm.
THE LAST TIME IT WAS Egyptian seizure of an Israeli freighter
in the Suez Canal and the execution by Egypt of Israeli spies. A
neutral observation might be that one side was as guilty as the
other.
But a few weeks ago, Washington diplomats of the Arab coun
tries were reporting that the Arab League—bastion of opposition
to Israel in the Middle East—was a dead duck. A little restraint
on the part of the Israeli forces might have done wonders in easing
the tension in this area.
Before there can be any Jordan River Valley Authority to change
the lot of the Arab refugees there must be some semblance ot
political stability. It would be of more benefit to the Middle East
if American Zionists would hold Washington conferences to pro
mote this idea than to Agitate for more arms aid for Israel, as they
have iust done -
