NOT A PROGRESSIVE Yet time was when Ray McCarl was as liquatious a press agent as need be. He arrived in Washington origi nally as secretary to Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska (he hails from the senator’s home town of McCook, though born an lowan! and tooted his boss’ horn industriously. Since Senator Norris was and is a decidedly advanced progressive Re publican it generally has been assum ed that McCarl is ot the leftward too. This is not the case. He may not be a conservative but he was not pro gressive enough for Senator Norris. He was not appointed to the general accounting office out of the senator’s service. The two already had broken and McCarl was secretary of the Re publican congressional committee, an organization devoted to the election and re-election of G. O. P. representa tives. It by no means is a radical out fit. It was from this secretarial post, not from his connection with Senator Norris that he g’-adi&ted into the com trc.ler genuabhip.

When the comptroller generalship was created 15 years ago (McCarl is the only man who ever has held it), it specifically was provided that no incumbent ever could succeed him self, ihe idea being to make the job completely independent. Thus McCarl will be footloose very shortly and there is considerable won dering what he will turn to. He is comparatively young—only 57. Be sides, he is not the type of individual to retire and do nothing.

When the structure was first built it was more than a mile from the water, but the land in front of the lighthouse has been steadily eaten away by the force of the waves and tides until only a hundred or so feet separate it from the ocean. The group will also inspect Oregon and New inlets north of Cape Hatter as where the winds and tides are con stantly changing the coast line. Other points scheduled to be visited by the board members include Fort Fisher and Wrightsville Beach in New Han over county; and, if this permits, con servation officials hope to have the group inspect Fort Macon and other places along the beach in Carteret county.

PulUie Auditorium, Cleveland, Juno 9.—Well, people, I am at last in the middle of the Republican national convention and when I say “middle,” I mean just that. You have no idea what a reporter like me has to go through with for the privilege of sitting in this hall, entirely surrounded by 14,000 fellow human beings. Compared to me at the moment a canned sardine is just an other Robinson Cruso suffering from loneliness. This morning I went up to the hall and asked for my ticket —“Otey Walker, of The Old Home Town.” Well, sir, it seems a mere matter of only 17,832 other Walkers had also tried to get tickets. “Are you Petronius K. Walker of East Bicycle, Ark.? Or Dr. G. Caliope Walker of Sauerkraut Center, Wiis. ” the girl at the ticket desk demanded. I also had to confess I was not At torney Quibble Q. Walker, of Long Neck, Ala., or K. Tutwiler Walker of Two Boils, Tex. Then, when she finally got it right, she started to quizzing me proper. She fired so many questions at me that I’ll bet right now she could write “The Life and Times of Otey Walker With Footnotes” in 12 volumes. I had to break down and confess all my secrets from my uncle’s third cousin’s middle name to my favorite breakfast food, with cream or just plain, sugared. Anyway, I got my ticket and got in. I’m sorry I can’t give you the inside . dope as to who will be nominated. I thought I had a good lead when I saw two big shot politicians in a whisper ing duel near the speakers’ platform. I sneaked up and listened. But they must have (been talking in code for I didn’t understand a thing they said. “I always use a jigger and a half,” said one, “then enough seltzer to fill.” I “A dash of lime will give that extra i dry touch,” said the other. “About j four of those and you think you’rq , Haile Selassie on horseback.” j I guess I gotta study up on my codes. (The balloting is about to begin— and Otey will be in the thiek of it. Don’t miss his next dispatch.) Steiwer To Give Keynote Address at Night Session (Continued from T*age One.! Some of the delegates and many of the holders of gallery tickets did not I even show up. Caucuses of some state delegations later in the • day were considered more important for the ultimate out come than the opening session itself, if decisions on whom to support were to be reached. Senator Frederick Steiwer, of Ore gon, was givep an ovation when form ally elected to the temporary chair manship. The convention recessed until 8 p. n>(, when Steiwe} - will deliver the keynote speech. G. O. P. May Overdo New Deal Attack *, ■■ >1 (Continued irom rage One.) publican cheering over the last 5-4 Su preme Court decision—'invalidating the New York State minimum wage law for women. That decision creates a problem: It has been said hitherto, in regard tq the other decisions, that it was the business of the states, not the federal government, to regulate. Well, here a state did try to regulate—and the law is declared unconstitutional. Can there be no social legislation by either the Federal government or the state? Chief Justice Hughes, in the minor ity opinion, remarked: “In the statue before us, no unrea sonableness appears. The end is legi timate, and the means appropriate.” Yet, even an act declared specifi cally reasonable is found unconstitu tional. And—worse, from a Republican point of view—women take the act’s invalidation as a personal afrront. A Republican paper in Cleveland held a questionnaire on that and the answers from women of all ranks fairly foristled. WOULD SEE HOFFMAN In Chicago, in 1932, spectators de sired to see jliley Long—at the Dem ocratic convention. In Cleveland, in 1936, spectators at the Republican convention, hope to get a glimpse of Gov. Harold Hoff man of New Jersey. GUIDES? So large is the Cleveland Public Auditorium that building police often 'have to act as guides. The basement, filled with press as sociations and wire companies, ex tends three blocks—and then con nects underground with another ex position hall —completely underground: on the lakefront. The huge stage i n the main audi torium of the convention hall proper ihas six floors of dressing rooms alongside. They are being used as darkrooms by photographers.

Thirty-five North Carolina counties are now opertting terracing units, in cooperation with the State College ex tension service, to protect farm land from erosion. Guilford 1 , Rowan, and Iredell coun ties have two units each, while 32 counties are operating one each, said H. M. Ellis, extension agricultural en gineer at the college. In addition, he said, six other coun ties have organized soil conservation associations and are planning to se cure terracing equipment in a short time. The terracing units, consisting of crawler type tractors and two-wheel terracing machines, are owned and operated by soil conservation associa tions whose membership is made up of farmers. Each unit has a daily output of a lineal mile or more of completed ter races, with each mile protecting a round 10 acres of land from soil wash ing. The farmers are charged $3 an hour for the work, which covers the ac tual cost of operating the machines, including depreciation, and paying the operating crews. Three counties one subsoiling ma chines, Ellis added, and three others are using such machines part time. A number of counties are preparing to secure similar equipment in the close future. The sulosoilers penetrate to a depth of 12 to 18 inches, make the soil porous and spongy, and thereby in crease its capacity to absorb and hold water. The cost is about the same as Wife Preservers Most head vegetables such as cabbage, cauliflower, head lettuce and artichokes, will keep best If the center stem, but not the leaves, is placed in water.
