On The Tar Heel Front In Washington By ROBERT A. ERWIN and FRANCES McKUSICK WASHINGTON-Tobacco grow ers of North Carolina owe a grea vote of thanks to Represeiitartv Robert L. Doughton, the tall 77 year-old veteran who has repres ented the .Ninth District since 1911. Mr. Doughton succeeded ini de feating the Treasury Department' proposal to establish a differen tial in the tax between 10-cei: and standard brand cigarettes This proposal was knocked ou before the House Ways and Means Committee, of which Mr. Dough ton is chairman, after two days of tough fighting. Several committee members fav ored the differential, which would be quite dangerous to prices for medium and better grades of to bacco shold it ever be adopted Mr. Doughton, strong and force iul even at the age of 77, held his ground, fought like a tiger and" with the aid of those mem bers loyal to him, saved the day for tobacco growers. The committee did vote to in crease the present cigarette tax from $3.25 to $3.50 a thousand but that is for all brands of cigarettes. Such an increase was anticipated, because in these times, everything must be taxed, more and more. State Commissioner of Agricul ture W. Kerr Scott has been in the limelight lately with reveal ing facts on two situations. First of all, members of - Con gress from North Carolina have received from State Democratic Chairman Monroe Redden, of Hender.sonville, copies of a letter from Mr. Scott im which the Commissioner cites, (1) negligible representation of rural citizens on State Boards and Commissions and (2) Republican leadership of farm organizations in North Caro lina. Previously the Commissioner had charged in an interview with this department that Federal Depart ment of agriculture agents are "hindering the war effort by hi jacking the North Carolina farmers into planting inferor seeds". As far the first situation) men tioned above, Scott told Redden that " we as leaders of today may be laying the groundwork for an eventual political change that will be disastrous to the Democratic party here in North Carolina. "I am enclosing a leaflet com piled by the Federal Bureau of Economics as it applies to state government positions held by the urban population and that only (6.6 per cent are held by the rural population. "In this connection I desire to call your attention to a situation that is developing in the political life of North Carolina and one which I believe merits the consid eration of the Democratic leaders. The president of one of the large farm orginazitions covering about 22 counties in Western North Carolina is a Republican; The pre sident of the largest cooperative dairy in North Carolina with a membershp consisting entirely of farmers is a Republican". The chairman of the Agricultural War Board for North Carolina is a Re publican. The chairman of the Agri cultural Adjustment Administration for North Carolina is a Republican. This office covers the emlire farm group of the state. And only a few days ago a Republican succeeded a very capable Democrat as prcsi- lent of the North Carolina Cotton Cirowers Cooperative Association. This' organization bias a member ship covering the (A) cotton-growing counties in North Carolina. "I am merely making these ob servations because 1 believe in De mocratic representation. .1 think that is was Thomas Jefferson who gave us the though that when la group of people doesnot have rep resentation in an organization, they will seek it somewhere else! Un der the present situation, with the trend of the rural population to ward the cities and with the lead ership of these large farm organi zations belonging to another poli tical party, we as the leaders of today may be laying the ground work for an eventual political change that will be disastrous to the Democratic party here in North Carolina." CCC Camp News The members of this company had the pleasure of hearing Rev. Hubert Wardlow, Pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Franklin one night last week. Rev. Ward- law's message was most inspiring. Lt. Emmet t H. Clemen Ls, Com mander of Company 2432 for the past 18 mo roths was relieved of this command on June 15 by Mr. Alonzo M. Deitz.

C. to as sume command of another com pany.
