ERWIN And FRANCES McKUSICK Washington?While comparative quiet prevails in the halls of Congress, there is no summer let-down in news on the foreign and domestic war fronts. Back in Washington after taking their summer vacations, your correspondents are convinced that the "folks back home" are as much or more war conscious than those in the Nation's Capital, and that if Washington will improve its leadership, the people will do more and better things to help win the war. Any confusion in the minds of t.hp crpjit. mnssps nf t.hp npnnlp is a direct result of confusion in various branches of the government in Washington, according to our findings. This situation is serious but can be corrected readily by men in the highest places reasserting their leadership and stirring the nation to greater productive achievements. On the North Carolina front, Winston-Salem bagged another Government agency with the announcement that negotiations j had been concluded for transfer of the Headquarters of the Di- J rectorate of Flying Safety, Army Air Forces, from Washington to the Nissen building in the Twin i City where the Fourth Civil ] Service District already has t made its new home. i The building is expected to be 1 ready for occupancy by the air { force unit not later than Novem- i ber 1. Negotiations for the trans fer were concluded here by Har- t ry Krusz, general manager of the ] Winston - Salem Chamber of ? Commerce. i Meanwhile, Senator Robert R. ( Reynolds, Chairman of the Sen- i ate Military Affairs Committee, < stirred up a hornets nest when ? he publicly advocated freedom 1 for India. The administration, on < Pennsylvania Avenue and at the Capitol, rebuked him vigorously, < but none the worse for the wear, * the Senator stood by his guns. < North Carolina's senior Sena- 1 tor, Josiah William Bailey, has 1 been busy sitting in on tax hear- ( ings of the Senate Finance Committee, while Representative A. i L. Bulwinkle, of Gastonia, has 1 remained here as Acting Speaker ( of the House during the sum- J mer series of three-day recesses. ? * * * Major Bulwinkle informed us 1 that Congress probably would jl fticumo rparnlar hp- v fore September 14 "unless some- 1 thing special arises." c By the way, North Carolina ) seems to have had a monopoly r on the acting Speakership of * the House in recent years. The Speakers since 1931 have been * John Nance Garner, of Texas, ' Henry T. Rainey, of Illinois, Jos- J eph Byrns of Tennessee; Wil- j liam Bankhead of Alabama, and the present Speaker, Sam Ray- ^ burn of Texas. This present term is the Ma- ^ jor's second as Acting Speaker, r a post he once held under Rain- j ey, who died in office. Lindsay ( C. Warren, now Controller Gen- f eral of the United States, was j Speaker Pro Tern during Bank- ( head's term. * * * c Farmer Bob Doughton of < Laurel Springs, the State's j "young man" whose daily tonic ? is plenty of hard work, has s spurned current rumors that \ friends want him to run for gov- f ernor, by declaring that he feels s he can serve his country better . in Washington just now. I "A lot of men want to be gov- 1 ? i - u ? * ernor and may De mucn Deuer ? qualified than I am," he said. 1 "My mind has been occupied by national affairs for so many j years I feel my place is at the ( Capitol." , There are reasons for a "draft 1 Dough ton for Governor" move- t ment. Since the 1940 primary i things haven't gone so well in- < side the Democratic party in 1 North Carolina. Many wounds i have been healed, at least to all c appearances, but some of the t enemies of Governor Broughton < are laying for whomever he sup- i ports in the 1944 Governorship 11 primary when the Number One 11 / i Con [ CAROLINA, THURSDAY, SEPTE THE "SALS" ARI w x - MMI ?fc> Y Wpd1 \ ;!

State College Hints For Farm Homemakers Fresh fruit is delicious, refreshing, and healthful, in lots 3f ways, but it often leaves spots 3n tablecloths, napkins, and j clothes that turn into ugly j stains unless you get after them i vhile they're still fresh and j iamp. If you let fruit stains dry, they're much harder to remove. Letting fabrics become hopeessly stained is more than a j personal loss these days. Every j )iece of cloth you own repre- i ;ents material ana tne iaDor qi nen at looms. Both are needed i?w for war production. ( Sometimes warm water will ,ake out a very fresh fruit stain; ;ry it first. Boiling water will ake out most fruit stains from vhite or colorfast cotton or lin:n. Stretch the stained material >ver a bowl, and fasten it with 1 i string so it can't slip off. Pour J >n the boiling water from a j leight of 3 or 4 feet, so it will i strike the stain with force. Rub j he spot, then pour on more I vater, and rub again. ] I ... ' V? t4 JkX V** *1 \ & OlUutl $1.50 A YEAR IN A1 Jackson Tri 154 Extra Ti Forest Prod M.E.
