Al REPORTER Raleigh, N.-C., Oct.— Associate Justice A. A. F. Seawell’s death Saturday brought a long-simmer ing State Supreme Court situation to a boil. At least three of the Justices, including Mr. Seawell, were eli gible for retirement. All three wanted to retire, but wflen Gov ernor Scott was elected did not do so. They felt that occupation of the State’s highest tribunal ceiled for men of dignity with tile highest concept of their du ties. They did not retire because tkey were afraid of the type of l&n Governor Scott would name t^. replace them. '*These three Justices, according tJB members of the. bar; felt that !»preme Court Justices should men of conservative leanings afith the utmdst respect for the Swte laws. They were afraid that the Governor would name as their successors men with too liberal ^viewpoint. They felt, too, that 3fott might select their succes Ws from a political standpoint nether than giving what they felt vfps due hi consideration hi their legal abilities. «ES''y-> Time to buy trucks on something besides hearsay!

At the time, nany of the streets of Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem were still triss-crossed with barbed wire, and the roads leading through the villa of Judea were littered with burned-out trucks. Nevertheless, thanks o an old C.ievvy ar.d a pair of even older legs, 1 managed to see most >f this tiny country, and when I left it a few weeks later I was pretty ex ited about what I bad seen. When we got back to New York, ny old boss, Bernard "M. Baruch, ■ sked me to put my enthusiasm ’in ny pocket and try to estimate la bel's chances of survival in this tighly competitive world. I told *im that one swing around the {lob* wisn t enough o m«k* an eeono nic expert out of a iroadway jumping ■ack, but that 1 had :om« away from 1s *ael with the gen eral impression that ,t« people were (a) intelligent, (b) lough ai nails, and Billy B«m fc) prepared lo work like all get »ut to make a go of their new lives. "A business or a nation with those jimlities usually gives a good ac count of itself." said Mr. Baruch. SINCE MY VISIT. I've heard luthing to change niv snap ap praisal of Israel's chances. On the sther hand. I've read darned little an the subject which could be ,'lgssed as good objective reporting. Most of the favorable stuff was too favorable — obviously the work of men who were out to make as good 3 case for the new nation as possi ble. And as for the dissenters — well, as was to be expected, most of them sounded as if they were carrying a 2,000-year-old chip on their shoulders. Recently a copy of a new hook ' liy Ralph McGill— "Israel Rt tilled," published in Atlanta, Ga„ last month hy I upper and I oi t—showed up on my desk and I began to thumb through it out ol a sense ol duly. Hut uhat started as duty quickly became compulsion, lor McGill, oditor of one of the South's -Ml. most trustworthy papers, The Atlanta Constitution. had obit ously font to Israel with on op tn mind snd crammed it with facts and figures before making it up. I've met Mr. McGill once or twice, end before I was halfway through his book I found myself wondering how this soft-spoken and hard-head ed gentleman from Georgia had come to write such an incisive and insightful commentary on the com plicated events now shaping up at the far end of the Mediterranean. • • • I GOT TO THINKING about It and, as I hunch it, tlse answer is triple pronged: First, McGill is an Irishman, which means that while he has a lively sense of justice in general he has no axiom to grind about Israel in particular. Second, he is first, foremost and fastidious ly a newspaperman, avaricious for facts but plenty leary of special pleading propaganda. And third, he has a long record as a fighting Southern liberal, and once he's got ten his facts straight he's not one to by-pass those touchy areas where even angels fear to tiptoe. IThen 1 finishid trading "Is rael Revisited.” f was, of course, tickled to find that McGill's conclusions jibed with mine, but that's neither here nor there. The important thing is that, without pulling any punch es, he has written a book about this controversial little country which one can read without prejudge or without tus peel ing the author of same. Here, at last, Is a meticulous and meaningful answer to the often-ask ed question, “What’s Israel really like?" | many matters—particularly the Smith - Graham primaries—.has the knowledge of the law that is needed. He would satisfy the re maining court justices. And his appointment would give the Gov ernor the chance to name his own man as Attorney General. Some of McMullan's rulings have been ad verse to the Scott administration, and since a ruling by the Attor ney General stands in lieu of a Supreme Court decision, it could be very important for the Gov ernor to have his own hoy in that job. f Some of the official^ of the Forestry Division of the Depart ment of Conservation and Devel opment do not particularly care for Kerr Scott a»id that feeling is echoed down in District 7 of the Forestry Division. Some time ago, I reported a district meeting near Little Wash- | ington on August 18 at which forestry men reportedly said "Whose afraid of Big Bi^d Kerr ScotLX As nil reporters do, I made some mistakes. That meeting was not District One, it was District Seven. And it was not near Lit tle Washington, it was in Wash ington County. And no one now remembers singing of any such song. But here’s a statement made by | one of those present: "At one table was the Washing ton County Warden and others, 1 some of whom were plenty high. A friend of the Wurden made a a statement speaking of Kerr Scott and said he ((Scott) is 'just something they pulled from a mule’s tail, sent to Raleigh and made governor’. To which many applauded and the wife of a Ral eigh Forestry official, whose name does not muttei, went so tai a,, to reach across the table and shake his hand in gratitude. This mun made many nasty statements about Governor Scott and some of those at the central office (Ral eigh headquarters) seemed to cn S If I* E II | O II s K K V I C E on (; R O If I* I N SIRANCE w. g. “mi.I/’ pj.fij: Manairr Tin: life INSURANCE COMPANY OF VIRGINIA WII.MAMSTON N.

No one seemed a> be worried about the reported mis-use of State property in Dis trict Seven, but some of the Ral eigh brass was unhappy about the reported singing of a song derogatory to the governor. That story was used only be cause 1 though it was funny. Folks who fork for the State have a perfect right to like or dislike their governor, just as everyone else does. A check showed that after the story came out in Capital Repor ter, meeting of all District Seven county wardens was called on September 20 at 10 a. m. in Eliz abeth City. The meeting was held at the District warehouse. Nipe wardens were present one. from Martin county, being able to come because he was appearing in court as a witness. The session was call ed by V. W Herlevitch, district forester. Herlevitch said that there had been a lot of undue publicity about the August Hi party, that he was going to get to the bottom of the matter and that it would be just to bad for the man who talk ed to this reporter, lie said every one would be interviewed and that they had better tell the truth. If it will make Mr Herlevitch any happier, the original story: did not come from one of his war- ' dens, nor did it come from Ral eigh.
