Thursday For
Hunter's Play
"Darkening Shore," the story of
two men, one a Polish patriot and
the othe'r a military . mercenary,
caught in- Communist Poland in
an attempt to free a composer
whose work is the symbol of free
dom, will be the next production
of The Carolina Playmakers.
The play, to be presented at the
Playmakers Theatre Nov. 10 thru
14, is by Kermit Hunter, member
of the UNC English department.
Hunter is the author of the
North Carolina outdoor dramas,
"Unto These Hills,' at Cherokee
and "Horn In The West," at. Boone
as well as "Forever This : Land,"
given at Petersburg, Illinois. Be
cause of his efforts in furthering
the outdoor drama, Hunter has a
chieved nation-wide prominence.
During the past summer, he replac
ed Brooks Atkinson by writing the
lead story on the drama page of
The New York, Times.
"Darkening Shore" is Hunter's
first attempt at a full length in
door play, although he has previ
ously had one-act plays produced
by the Playmakers. Because of
this change to a more intimate
medium, Hunter has had to vary
many of his techniques of . play
writing. The play will be directed by Sam
uel Selden, chairman of the depart
ment of dramatic art. Mr. Selden
last year directed the hit show,
"Kiss Me, Kate." He has previous
ly worked with Hunter as advisor
to "Unto These Hills," and "Horn
In The- West," and as director of
"Forever This Land."

Of. Accuracy, Contemplation
The general level of education
of the people of this nation has
unquestionably been raised signifi

I fear, so diluted the content, and
so ignored correction, that precis

Purks said: f
"Perhaps more of us' can now
speak glibly and write voluminous
ly. But sometimes' it - seems that
what is happening is that more of
us are speaking and writing poorly
about things of which we know
little, and that we are confusing
the freedom to do so with educa
tion itself which is in fact a disci
pline. "There have been many changes

Offices In Graham Memorial
To
Sam Didn't Want Corruption
Prof Gordon Cleveland told his political science class this one
the other day: t
It seems there was a campus janitor, an old Negro who was
undecided about a general election a few years ago.
After the election, the janitor (call him Sam) was passing the
time of day with a professor, when the professor asked Sam how
he voted.
"Well," said Sam, "I was walking down the street before- the
election when this Republican comes up to me and says, Til give
you $3 if you'll vote for my man.
"Well," continued Sam, "I took the. man's money and went on
down the street. And I met this Democrat and he said I'll give you
$5 if you'll vote for my man.'"
Sam stopped talking, as if he'd finished his story.
"Well," asked ' the professor, "You voted Democratic, didn't
you?" .
"No, suh," replied Sam. 'I voted for the Republican man."
"Why?" the professor wanted to know. -
"Well, you see, suh," said Sam, "The Democrat he gave me $5.
So I figured he was more corrupt than the Republican, and I didn't
vote for him."

To West &
GOPS's Threat
RALEIGH, Nov.
Politicnl campaign thunder
died away tonight on the eve
of a general election to pick a
North Carolina congressional
delegation and to fill numer
ous state and local offices.
The western front, strong
hold of Tar Heel Republicans, held
the center of interest. For most of
the remainder of the State, the
real races were decided in last
spring's Democratic primary.
The battle in the west generated
heat which might last past election
day. Charges of election abuses,
particularly the use of the civilian
absentee ballot, flew thick and SBI
agents were dispatched in force to
investigate.
The fight was hottest in the 9th
and 10th Congressional Districts.
In the 10th, Rep. Charles R. Jonas,
the state's only Republican con
gressman, faced Democrat J. C.
Sedberry of Charlotte in his bid for
a second term. In the 9th, William
E. Stevens, Jr., carried the GOP
banner in an effort to unseat Rep.
Hugh Q. Alexander, Democratic in
cumbent. Both Democratic and Republican
leaders predicted victory in the
two hotly contested districts.
The charges of voting irregulari
ties brought a special investigator
for a House Campaign Investigat
ing Committee into the 9th District.
S. P. Kimmell, head counsel for the
committee, ordered election boards
of counties in the district to im
pound all absentee ballots and rec
ords relating to them.
James Powell, head of the SBI,
ordered all 17 of the bureau's field
agents into western counties to
probe voting complaints. The a
gents went to Graham, Clay, Alex
ander, Ashe and Randolph Coun
ties. The complaints involved both
Democrats and Republicans.
Polling places at the state's 2,024
precincts will be open tomorrow
from 6:30 a. m. to 6:30 p. m. Esti
mates of the total vote range be
tween 650,000 and 700,000.
Former Gov. W. Kerr Scott is
opposed by Republican Paul C.
West of Raleigh for a 6-year U. S.
Senate term. Democratic Sen. Sam
J. Ervin, Jr., running for the re
maining four years on the term of
the late Sen. Clyde R. Hoey, is un
opposed. Reps. L. If. Fountain in the 2nd
District and Harold D. Cooley, in
the 4th have no Republican oppo
sition. In the remaining 10 dis
tricts, with the exception of the
9th and 10th, Democratic incum
bents are expected to win handily
over Republican foes.
Three state offices filled by Gov.
Umstead are at stake. Treasurer
Edwin Gill is opposed by Republi
can Rex Morton, of West Jefferson;
Labor Commissioner Frank. Crane
has no GOP foe and Insurance
Commissioner Charles F. Gold
faces Republican Fred Frick, of
jy
Chief Justice M. V. Barnhill is
opposed by Republican Buford T.
Henderson, of Winston-Salem. As
siciate Justices William J. Bobbitt,
J. Wallace Winborne and Carlisle
Higgins are unopposed.
In addition to these races, sev
eral Superior Court Judgeships, so
licitors, state legislators and a host
of local offices are at stake. Five
constitutional amendments also are
on the ballot. The most controver
sial of these would prohibit any
one county from having more than
one State Senator. Gov. Umstead
has spoken strongly against the a
