Give Em the Works Mai.- <.pinion in the United States is in iu> moou to trifle with groups and isms like tiie so-called "Christ ian From" and their kindred or ganizations known as the German American Bund and the Com munist Party ot America. There is no room here tor such things as these. The only movements this country needs. desire> or will tol erate are those whi.se goals and purposes are' of a loyal, patriotic nature. This Christian Front gang un doubtedly was serto.i.- in the motives ascribed to it oy G-men following an intensive investigation. The FBI claims to ha\e the low down on these poor tools who had set out to terrorize the country and eventually to wrest control from legally constituted authority. Caught red-handed in their own game, they are letting out whines and wails that justice is being de nied them and that they had no such intentions as have been ascribed to them. But they have not satisfactorily explained their re serves of arms, their plots and schemes and their drills and maneu \erings in secret places. It they had no sinister designs, why all the secrecy about their activities? The American sense of fair play and sympathy for the underdog, even a criminal, will see that justice is given these schemers. The natural inclination of our M.ft-^«uled peo ple is to have pity and to show mercy. But this and kindred cir cumstances place these victims beyond the pale <>l ,-uch generosity. It is no time to dillydally with gangs which in their ignorance and j lolly seek the overthrow of the American system, and this Christian Front bunch, il convicted, should be "given the works" to the limit the law allows. They have no one but themselves to blame 1 • »x- their plight, j fhe> went mt<» this thing with their eyes opened, or it *::wy didn't it is all the m>re reason why they' should have Uieir eyes opened now. j When the stability, the functioning and the exi.-tence of government is at stake, along with the happiness and well-being of the people, it is no time for the showing of mercy o: the soft-pedaling of serious of lenses. N\ A b unds The protest from the State University against prospective cur tailment of National Youth Ad ministration funds from the Fed eral government is but another note in the chori:.- of waifs and protests against eftorts at national econ omy. Every department, reau and agency that feeL> the pruning knife sets up a lto\\I t<> the effect that the sky will fall and humanity will go to the dogs it it is denied any part or parcel oi tne easy money that has been flowing its way. Clearly there must be a start somewhere if spending is to be checked. There can be no reductions if everybody is to continue to get the same amount <>1 ready cash from the treasury they have been taking these recent years. Far be it from us to protest the furnishing of essentials to youth to obtain an education. But our sympathy would be much greater if the element of politics could be wholly eliminated and the idea ui government paternalism dissipated. Too much, far too much, of that has seemed to have rooted itself into these activities. Since time immemorial, youth with an ambition has been able to attain that ambition, and many men have scaled the heights without government handouts. We may have come to the point, however, where opportunities are fewer and some of this sort of assistance is neces sary. Ui-t you can't down a fellow whose desire for an education is so great that he is willing to hire him self to parents to nurse and change labv diapers in order to realize money for an education. Money or no. whether it come easy or hard, that sort of a fellow will get along. There may not be enough babies with diapers that need changing to furnish employment for all the NYA boys at the university. Let it be said further and again that there is certainly no lack ot appreciation ot sympathy here with struggling youth. Boys and girls trying for an education de serve all the aid and assistance they can get. but somehow it has never seemed to us that it is quite the function of government to finance these things entirely, or even large ly so. BROWER GETS NEW POSITION AT DUKE Durham. Feb. 8.—Alter havinv served since 1937 as executive sec retary ot the Duke memorial and in that position having had a large part in the management of the cen tennial fund and general arrange ments for the Duke university cen tennial celebration, A. S. Browei has been made administrative as sistant in the university bv action of the trustees at their recent meet ing. He is still occupied with follow up centennial activities and will continue that work along with his new duties. Mr. Brower is a Trinity r.-admit? of the class of 1912. Before coming back to Duke to assume the cen tennial work, he was director of the division of purchase and contract for the State of North Carolina, having before that served for sev eral years with the State board ol education and later as business manager of State college at Raleigh. Hull States Rela tions With Russia (Continuer From Page One) Hull's letter as a " politic" conviction of Moscow on at least two definite preaches. "The cumulative case brought 1 down to date would seem to multi ! ply the reasons for wondering why j the United States should be the only American republic in two hemis pheres maintaining diplomatic rein* tions with Moscow," he said. Only Three of the Six Gubernatorial Candidates Are Ranked In the West (Continued From Page One) of Horton. Maxwell and Broughton, nor to take a crack at any or ali ol' the other trio. It's strictly a recording of the facts reported by reliable sources. A candidate lor a minor state of fice. naturally wouldn't allow use of his name, said, in substance: "So far as the West goes, there are only three men in the race—Hor ton. Maxwell and Broughton—and as of today I think they rank in about that order." This candidate had just come back from the region. An astute Graham county politi cian. who has managed congressional campaigns in the Eleventh, said, in effect: "There hasn't been any crystalli zation in our district; but only three candidates are even casually con sidered. They are Maxwell, Brough ton and Horton. Personally. I would not give a dime's difference be tween them—they are all lint men and would make good governors. Wilkins Horton has worked faithful ly for the party, he deserves some thing from it: we would never need be ashamed of Broughton: and Max well is much the best business man of them all. The trouble is that in some counties there will be an agreement to support one, while in others the organization is likely to go for another. If that is pretty gen eral. there's too much chance that a candidate we don't want will slip into the second primary—maybe two of them and then we'll have only a choirs between the Devil and the Witch". The mayor of a very far western city heard this and nodded his thorough agreement to every sen tence of it. 7 "'S Ail of which means only that the>" isn't at nresent any visible activity for Gravelv. Grady or Cooner. It's possible that once these gentlemen let their organizations set up and going that there'll be an entirely different (ale to tell. [ B"t then they will star* out un der the handicao of working against a I •-•Id of three which seems al ready to be virtually in posseession of the western field.
