Raleigh Round-Up Lennon Starts The Ball Rolling, Graves Writes On White Case By KIDD BREWER SCOTT NEXT . . . Sen. Alton Lennon has at long last come up with his administrative assistant. Personable and on good terms with press and radio people all over the state, Harry Gatton should do a good job for Senator Lennon. For nearly three weeks now Kerr Scott has been looking hard in the direction of Davidson county for his campaign manager. If Hubert Olive is not available, he is expect ed to go down east for his man. Mu tual friends who want Olive to han dle Scott’s race for the U. S. Sen ate are telling the Lexington attor ney he will be a shoo-in for gover nor in 1956 if Scott goes to Wash ington. Our guess is that W. Kerr Scott will not announce his manager un til about the first of February. Gettin’ back to Gatton, he must feel Lennon has a fair chance of success. At any rate he is giving up a Civil Service job as solid as they come. He has been receiving in the neighborhood of $9,000 in his U. S. Treasury position. SAFETY . . . Some of the in ner circle of Carolina alumni were recalling how University Coach George Barclay didn’t go out on the field to greet Mary land’s Coach Jim Tatum after their battle a few weeks ago. Since this is a customary prac tice — even though at times a bitter pill to swallow — its omis sion has caused some lifted eye brows here and there. Instead of being greeted by his old classmate, Coach Tatum found himself being accompanied by a highway patrolman. What, Big Jim is reported to have in quired, was the patrolman doing out there on the field? The pa trolman replied that he had been sent out there to escort Tatum | to the fieldhouse. “Well, things have come to a pretty pass when an alumnus re turning to his alma mammy must have a policeman along for pro tection,’’ said Big Jim. TEXTBOOKS . . . There is some feeling that Textbook Commission Chairman L. E. Spikes of Burling ton, has been too domineering, opinionated, and self-centered in the carrying out of his duties as head of the two groups chosen to select the textbooks your school children will study. Spikes, superintendent of Bur lington city schools, along with vir tually the entire commission, will soon be replaced. He has been head man of the order for eight years now and in that time has accumu lated his full quota of no-likers. Some textbook houses feel their products have been left out in the cold because of prejudice. Whether true or not, the charges have been tossed about for a good long while now and new blood should bring an end to the bicker ing. DISTANCE . . . Attitude of some of the book companies to ward Spikes reminds me of the time a football official was pen alizing one of the teams for some infraction of the rules. It so hap pened that he was stepping off the yardage right in front of the team’s bench. As he stepped along, the coach leaned over and said to him: “You are the stink ingest official I’ve seen in many a day.” Now the official was just put A Three Days' Cough Is Your Danger Signal Creomulsion relieves promptly because it goes into the bronchial system to help loosen and expel germ laden phlegm and aid nature to soothe and heal raw, tender, inflamed bronchial membranes.

He picked it up, stepped off 15 more yards up the field, put down the ball, lift ed his hand to his mouth and yelled back to the coach: “Can you still smell me from here?” CURSE . . . Louis Graves, owner and editor of the Chapel Hill week ly, last week was also growing weary over the Harry Dexter White controversy. It may be that you will agree with Mr. Graves in some of his remarks entitled “A Curse to the Nation.” Graves begins by saying that “a spirited quarrel among political leaders, with accusations and coun ter-accusations being hurled back and forth, makes lively reading in the newspapers . . . “But I cannot read the news sto ries about this episode with the zest I would have for them in what we call ordinary times. For, with me—and I know it must be so with millions of other people — the thought is always in mind: What a shame it is, now when we are in a struggle with as wicked and power ful a tyranny as the world has ever known, when our country is in dire peril, that the leading men in po litical parties are expending their time and energies, so urgently needed for the protection of their country, in bitter strife with one another.” Editor Graves concludes with this paragraph: “The source of dis putes like the one we have just been witnessing is party spirit. Let a man be thoroughly inocluated with party spirit and he comes to be like a drug addict; he loses all sense of proportion, his conscience is deadened, he is shifty and deceit ful, the patriotism to which he makes pretense is a sham. George Washington was right when he said party spirit was a curse to the na tion.” Mild-mannered Louis Graves is seldom so outspoken. We might add to his comment this question: What solid, fundamental benefit can come to the average American citi zen through the resurrection of Harry Dexter White at this time? The answer, in bold type, is; none. CAR SALES . . . Maybe you would like to see how your fa vorite automobile is selling in North Carolina. Latest figures available on new car sales are for September. Well, in the first place, 10,287 new cars were sold in the state this September as against 6,092 for September of last year. Hard times, eh? Here is the way they stack up: Chevrolet, 2,601 (as compared with 1,604 for September of 1952); Ford, 2,404 (as compared with 1,125 in September of 1952; Plymouth, 1,196 (as against 614 for same month last year); Buick, the old steady, 883; Pontiac, 664; Mercury, 585; Dodge, 388; Olds mobile, 369; Studebaker, 274; Chrysler, 243; DeSoto, 217; Pack ard, 94; Nash, 86; Hudson, 70; Willys, 58; Lincoln, 52; Cadillac, 46; Kaiser, 13; Henry J., 8; mis cellaneous, 16. PRESSURE . . . Automobile deal ers agree that sales of cars are staying right up there, but in North Carolina as in other states, used car dealers are suffering. And, as dealers will tell you, there isn’t much profit in the sale of a new car until the old one taken in has been sold. Even though more new cars are being sold, the profit has all but disappeared in many a deal er’s operations. Meantime, a knock down-drag-out battle moves on apace between Ford and General Motors, catching some of the inde pendents in the backwash. Some of the Ford and Chevrolet dealers have plenty of cars for sale, but the factories keep shipping. Something’s got to give in the au to market, but nobody knows when or where. A lot of dealers may go broke before this happens. BUSINESSMAN . . High Point Enterprise Editor Holt McPher son is not only enterprising. He is resourceful, energetic and a good businessman. He owns ra dio stock (in Shelby), newspaper stock, and a little other stock here and there. Now he is going to give owning a restaurant a fling. He will soon become a partner in a Howard Johnson eating place near High Point. NOT YET . . . The state civilian defense director’s job is still va cant. Gov. William B. Umstead has had a lot of applications and sugges tions. Somebody jokingly said the other day that “Bill is looking for another Bill and can’t find him.” This remark might be miscon strued. What the jokester meant was that the governor thinks he made , an excellent choice in per suading William F. Bailey to be come head of the prisons. He is looking for another William. The civilian defense job daily becomes more important.

BILL OF RIGHTS By PAUL WHITMIRE Transylvania County Veterans Service Officer il Veterans attending school or col lege under the Korean GI Bill were reminded by the Veterans Ad ministration that the amount of money they may earn outside of school hours has no effect whatso ever on the GI allowances paid them by the government. The monthly allowances will re main the same, regardless of out side earnings, VA said. In iaci, these earnings need not even be re ported to the VA. The only “ceiling” under the Ko rean GI Bill applies to veterans taking on-the-job or apprentice training. But even this “ceiling” of $310 a month imposes no limit what soever upon how much a veteran may earn. Instead it works this way: when the veteran’s earnings as a train ee, plus his monthly GI allowance, exceed $310 a month, VA scales down the allowance accordingly, to bring the total within the $310 lim it. The $310-a-month ceiling applies to all on-the-job trainees, regard less of the rate of GI allowance they are receiving. The beginning allowance rate for a veteran with no dependents is $95 a month; with one dependent, it is $110, and with more than one dependent, is $130. Under the law, the rate is reduced at four-month intervals, as training progresses and as their earning ability increases. GI allowances for veterans in school full-time are $110, with nc dependents; $135 with one depen ....... dent, and $160 with more than one dependent. * * * Q—I am a Korean veteran. Would it be possible for me to enroll as an apprentice in a foreign country under the Korean GI Bill? I wanl to learn the watchmaking trade ir Switzerland. A—No. Training in foreign coun Lies, under the Korean GI Bill, is limited only to VA-approved cours eg in accredited colleges and uni versities. The law prohibits al other forms of GI training outside the United States. Q—May I take on-the-job training under the Korean GI Bill in a planl that was approved by my state foi World War II veterans? A—World War II GI Bill approv al is not enough. The training course must be state-approved un der the Korean GI Bill, before you may enroll, under the law. STYMIED They tell of a screen star who was unable to obtain a divorce.

T"he door opens for Johnny. Light welcomes him. His supper is cooking. Bath water will be warm and his bed waiting. All is right in his world. By thought and planning, work and saving, Johnny’s parents have earned his confidence. He takes for granted that all he needs will be ready when he needs it. The Duke Power Company also plans, works, and saves to earn this kind of confidence. The family just finishing its house, the young man opening his own business, the big industrialist deciding to locate in the Piedmont — each takes for granted that power will be waiting when he asks for it. We value the confidence of our customers. Money could not buy it for us — or from us. Service has earned it. Without your confidence we could not raise the necessary capital to build new generating plants and transmission lines to keep power years ahead of your needs.
