Reapportionment, now widely
regarded as good as here, will take
a big whack. The Legion awful
ly powerful in some areas and now
burning mad, will get in many
good licks at some legislators who
voted to soften the Ban.
Just how strong is the Legion?
This seems to be a question no
body can answer- How much does
it hang together on issues like the
Ban? How political is it? Mow
much money, time and effort will
it put out to defeat these candi
dates?
IN OWN HOUSE . . . Among
the big daily newspapers honest

were the Raleigh dailies, the News
