Jit nr 22, 1050 Kmur The True Turin If the honest-to-goodness facts ;irc recog nized. Frank P. Graham will win the U. S. Senatorial race on Saturday of this week by an overwhelming majority, notwith standing the floods of money pouring into the State from moneyed interests in behalf of Willis Smith and the falsehoods that have been spread against Senator Graham. As president of the University of North Carolina. Frank Graham served under five governors and about nine legislatures. His regular reports were well received during these nineteen years, and he was patted on the back for his efforts advanced in the good cause of tin1 people of North Carolina. To day. an overwhelming number of those who attended the University are working for Professor Frank Graham, but a few who have moved on up in the world and hold high places in the financial world haveturn ed their backs on the man. choosing to ig nore the work he has done to provide ed ucation facilities for them and their child ren and children’s children. A young Williamston boy, after spending several years in the armed forces of his country, was graduated from college early this month. He wanted to enter med school, but there was no room. After losing years in the service, the young man is now attend ing summer school to equip himself for the teaching profession, meaning he’ll lose more valuable years. Frank Graham, sensing the need for more doctors, worked for the North Carolina Medical Commission and a medical school at the University. His efforts were called socialistic. So many would have us believe that it >ts all right for that young man to find the schools crowded. They have accused Mr. Graham of every thing in the book, the charges, in many in stances. coming from those who knew bet ter. but who chose to insult the intelligence of many voters. It isn't enough for some of those who spread such guile to turn and laugh at those who accept it. Willis Smith is hiding the real issues hehind a bloc!’ curtain. He will not dare turn the light and the truth on his unsavory record with the corporations. He would use the racial question to hide the fact that he ever said a 40-cent wage for the working men would wreck the economy of North Carolina. Mr. Smith is trying to hide a poor World War 1 record behind inflated claims. He says he is the “Veteran’s Veteran.” The facts in the case, taken from the records in the North Carolina Department of Archives and History in Raleigh show that he was drafted on July 29, 1918, just a few weeks before the end of the war. that a few days after the war he was back with his corpora tion practice. Frank Graham enlisted a short time after war broke out in 1917 and served two years in the Marine Corps, giving of his time and effort in full measure to his country. Mr. Smith had the gall to say that he forced Frank Graham to take a definite stand against the Brannan plan. On October 25, 1949, former Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson wrote a letter saying that when “there were alternative farm programs being considered,” Senator Gra ham “stood steadfastly for the parity price concept.” and that had it not been for him and other Senators who stuck in there and fought, *the disastrously low levels of the Aiken bill would have gone into effect”. It would seem that Mr. Smith, so wrapped up in his tight network of corporations, did not know what Frank Graham was doing, or else he misrepresented the facts. The Smith forces said and caused to be spread pictures of a Negro boy, who they claimed, Frank Graham appointed to West Point. The white boy, a promising Fayette ville youth, was appointed and is traveling J around Eastern North Carolnia with Frank Graham this week. We don't believe our people are so blind that they'll mistake the white boy for a Negro boy, or that our people will be blinded by distorted farts at the polls on Saturday of this week. Right here in this county a Smith sup porter said that Frank Graham appointed a Negro to Annapolis. The Smith supporter said that Sid Dunn of Greenville had told him that he (Dunn) had a boy at Annapolis that he (Dunn’s boy) saw the Negro boy every day. and that Frank Graham appoint ed him. Mr. Dunn, in a telephone conversa tion a short, time later, said he did have a boy at Annapolis in 1948, almost a year be fore Graham was appointed. Mr. Dunn vig orously explained that he had been misquot ed. Whether the Smith supporter misunder stood or whether he was spreading more of the unfounded smears, we do not know. But we do know that it was in keeping with the low down, contemptible falsehoods that, have been circulated in this campaign. Smith forces cried for the indictment of M. G. Mann of the North Carolina Cotton j Growers Association because he dared men tion Frank Graham’s name in a letter to the employees. A representatives of one of the biggest motor corporations in the world, under a Charlotte date line, wrote to people right here in Williamston, “directing” them to work for Willis Smith. That’s an es tablished fact, and then it is rumored that another giant corporation had passed down its instructions in behalf of Smith. Others in the big money are falling in line. But the people have spoken and they will speak again on Saturday of this week when they go to the polls and vote for Graham. Setting The Record Straight The Charlotte News. (Issue of May 27,1950.) It is to late for what we have to say on this subject to have any appreciable effect on the outcome of today’s voting in the senatorial primary election. We say is merely for the record. Someone at Willis Smith headquarters should have curbed the zeal of the young man who has been doing Mr. Smith’s pub licity, Hoover Adams. Someone should have told Mr. Adams that the advertisement over his name in the papers this week was just plain silly. i In the first place, the summer session of 1 the Anglo-American section of Moscow University in 1935 was not, as the ad said, an “effort to get American youths to go to Russia and study Communism under Russ- , ian teachers.” To the contrary, it was, as “School and Society” for May 5, 1934, point ed out, “to provide American educators an opportunity to observe educational methods in Russia.” Futhermore, the committee was not creat ed to “sell” the summer session. “School and Society” explained that: “To the end that the Soviet authorities may learn the American reaction to the new Russian educational system, an Ameri can national advisory council of the Insti tute has been established.” On that committee, in addition to Dr. Graham, were such distinguished Ameri- i cans as Dr. Harry Woodburn Chase, former UNC president, Edward R. Murrow of radio fame, Vassar’s famed Hallie Flanagan, the University of Chicago’s Robert M. Hutchins, ! Philosopher John Dewey and many others. In the third place, reciprocal observation of the American and Russian educational systems was exactly what we should have been doing in 1935. Had the Russian govern ment not put an end to the plan, some of us might have perceived the true nature of Communism earlier, and the Communists might have perceived the true strength and 1 moral fiber of democracy. With better infor mation and understanding about each other, we might have avoided the present costly cold war. The ad served no purpose other than get ting Dr. Graham’s name and that of Russia’s capital in the same space on a newspaper page. If there is a second primary — and the “experts” seem to think there will be— let us hope that Mr. Smith and Dr. Graham will crock down hard on their zealous sup porters and make them stick to the real issues. There are real issues in this battle, but they have been completely obscured by false, und frequently malicious, side issues. Ammuug Specimen* The human race contains individuals, entirely worthless except for a nuisance value. They attract slight attention by throwing mud at better men. This pleases their ego. All they want is a little attention. The trait is seen in small boys who write naughty sayings upon sidewalks, barn doors and other places to compel attention and to have the fun of seeing cleaner-minded individuals remove their trash. The interesting little nuisance seldom grows up, revealing his nature all through the years. As intriguing studies of the so called human race, they amuae those who understand what is behind their behavior. Editor’s Copy. CHURCH NEWS PENTECOSTAL HOLINESS N. .1. Ward, Pastor.

BROADWAY AND MAIN STRICT Merge Television and Movies In a Marriage of Convenience m ■ . -By BILLY ROSE You might not think it to look at them, but the two big branches of show business are in heavy trouble — movies and television broadcasting. , . , .. The movies, a business with plenty of product, Is up against a rapid ly shrinking audience, and though some of ’.he companies are still in the black, it'f a cinch they won’t be when there are 10 million TV sets in 10 million parlora. Judging by the financial pages, the peopie who own the companiea agree with me because most of the movie stocks are selling for less than half of their 194S quotations. : The television business, on the | tther hand, has a rapidly expand | inf audience but ! darned little prod I jet worth looking ; at. And. as I see It, it isn’t the fault of the TV tycoon* — there Just isn't enough theatrical talent j around to provide ! good live enter tainment for the 300 half -hour shows which the networks must present each week. In other words, unless something is don* about it and pronto, one business will grow more insolvent and the other more insipid. Is there a solution” Of course, and like all good solutions it's a simple one: Television must mar ry the movies, or vice versa—and if there are laws on the books which get in the way of these nuptials, then in (he public interest the laws will have- to be changed. 7 he advantage of this alliance are many and obvious, first, through the sol* or rantal to tele costers of film exfrressly mode for the foot-square TV screen, the movies con start recouping some of the money that the home sets are siphoning out of their hoy offices. Second, on a give-and take hatis, the film companies st ill be able to run oft their trailers in millions of living rooms, and the lew tests of this type of ad vertising indicate that it’s plenty potent. Third, the midget screens can ha used to develop tieiv pic ture personalities, and this, as movie men ttill tell you. it the real life blood of their silly busi ness. What can Hollywood do for Tele vision? Plenty. A sufficient amount of the right kind of film will solve better than half of Its program ming problems—and I'm. of course, not referring to the grade-Z vintage stuff which certain stations now run as a last and ludicrous resort. I'm talking about pictures ex pertly tailored for the small screen, skillfully staged and lighted, and which, among other things, will steer clear of the long shot* which look like so much oscillating mush. Hollywood eventually can produce darn near every type of TV pro gram from the travelogue to the three-act dramatic play, but for openers It might do well to con centrate on the popular classics that people never seem to get tired of. For instance, the best of the short stories of De Maupassant, O. Henry, Ben Heeht. Damon Run yon and Somerset Maugham; dit to, a series of symphonic stand bys with Toscanini and Stokowski conducting; double ditto, the in spired antics of Jimmy Durante. Maurice Chevalier and a hundred others in the rhinestoned hodge podge that makes up show business. Access to such a stock pile of film classics would, among other things, take the bone-crushing pres sure off the TV programmers and allow them to concentrate on a few really good live shows. And before long, if they use tht sens* that God gave geese, the blending ol the reel and the real would add up to entertain ment which one could watch without rushing for the rail. The overall consequence would be that two businesses which give employment to lens of thousands would once and for all climb out of the red and into the pink. Paramount Pictures, which paid $500,000 tor an interest in DuMont some years ago, is angling to sell its holdings tor $12,000,000. That would be a nice capital gain, of course, but I wonder if it wouldn’t be smarter for Paramount to hold on to this stock and invest a few extra bucks In a film library to make DuMont the first TV network worth a second look. Who knows—it might be a handy hedge against the time when there are 20 million television sets, and DuMont is considering the purchase of Paramount for $500,000.

Delivers Address Over The Radio For Dr. Graham (Continued from Page One) facilities have likewise received the active support of Frank Gra ham, and he did this as a public spirited citizen and servant of the people, and not as a paid lobbyist by any group or seg ment of our people. They tell us that Senator Gra ham favors the abolition of the segragation of the races in our school system. They say this in spite of the fact that our own great Attorney General of North Carolina has cited in his brief in a case now pending in the Su preme Court of the United States, the opinion of Frank Graham favoring segregation as we now have it. They tell us that Senator Graham nominated a negro for the United States Military Acade my. The facts are that Senator Graham announced that he would not make his appointment to West Point a political appointment, but would nominate those who made the highest grades on a competi tive examination. That examina tion was taken by forty students and the third highest grade was made by a Negro student, but Young Hauser, a promising white boy of Fayetteville, got the ap pointment. They tell us that Senator Gra jham opposed a hi!! allowing the ^ ! people in the District of Columbia ! to vote on the question of racial [segregation. That statement is misleading and does not reveal the true facts, which are as fol lows: “Before the Senate was a hill to give home rule to the Dis trict of Columbia, as you know, has been governed by a Congress ional committee. The measure let Washington citizens vote on the selection of their own govern ing body Senator Graham voted for the bill, because he believes in home rule as a fundamental gp part of democracy.
