Weaver rrges all members to be present Albright Explains Campaign Topics Ai Graham Rally ——♦ Says "Misrepresentations" Are Taking Place' of Comparative Merits of Candidates Senator Frank P. Graham does not favor the Brannan Plan, soc ialized medicine or the force pro visions of the Civil Rights bill, R. Mayne Albright, Raleigh law yer and 1948 gubernatorial can didate, told an audience of about 100 assembled in the courthouse Monday night. Following his introduction by W. M. Darden, clerk of the Wash ington County Superior Court, Albright proceeded to examine and deny these three most preva lent charges maintained by op ponents of Graham. The Senator has said again and again that he is not in favor of the Brannan Plan, socialized medi cine or the force provisions of the Civil Rights bill, Albright said. Striking a note of optimism, the speaker said that indications seem to point to a Graham victory in spite of what he termed "mis representations” in the current campaign. The Senator’s place, he said, is already secure, although Albright expressed the opinion that campaign misrepresentation is seemingly taking the place of the comparative merits of the candidates. Commenting on the fact that many critisize Graham for being a liberal, Albright admitted as much, but added that he is a lib eral in the same sense as former | presidents Abraham Lincoln and I Franklin D. Roosevelt, among I others. 1 Senator Graham has, on several ^occasions, been “drafted" into public service, each time show ing a record 'unmatched in North Carolina,” Albright said. Among the occasions, he explained, were Graham's ascension from teacher to president of the University of Nor A CfCj..aa, thence to presi dent of th? Greater University rrd finally t.> United States Sen ator. T.ie me;tir.g was presided over by W. H. Joyner, Graham’s \\ asnington County manager, who, before the address, recog nized several Democratic figures from neighboring counties. Among them were David Holton, co-chairman of the Graham cam paign in Chowan County, and Judge Ricard Dillard Dixon, both of Edenton, \nd Clarence Griffin and Elbert Peele, both of Wil liarrston. Joyner announced the receipt of a telegram from C. A. Fink, i president of the North Carolina Federation of Labor, expressing his regrets in being unable to accompany Albrir.g as had been planned. -4 Liens To Sponsor Two June Events At its regular meeting last Thursday, the Plymouth Lions Club elected to sponsor a benefit sale and a circus during the month of June.

Spruill, of Roper, county soil compliance supervi sor. All land in the county which is planted to the four crops under acreage control — corn, cotton, peanuts and tobacco—must be measured by June 30, Spruil said. Land planted to crops no under government control will b( estimated and information will b. secured from the landowner 01 operator relative to cultivation soil practices, etc. To do thi: work, Spruill estimates that 3( workers will be needed. How ever, there were only 25 who re ported at the agriculture buildinj here yesterday to hear the super visoi s instructions concerning forms to be used. Of this number 5 have had previous experienc* in measuring and reporting acre age. 1 Spruill will give field instruc 1 ! tion to all persons who plan to » work as reporters and he has re , leased the following schedule for such: all workers in the Plym outh area will meet Thursday ■ ' (today) afternoon at 1 o’cock at i the agricultural building; those ) in the Roper section will meet - ! (today) afternoon at 1 o’clock at - the Roper school; those in the ; j Creswell section will meet in the -JCreswell school at 8 o’clock; and >! those in the Peasant Grove sec , tion will meet there at 9 o’clock ■ Monday morning. - | When questioned as to the purpose of estimating cropland • other than that planted to crops which are under control, Spruill gave his opinion that the govern ment will eventually place all crops under control. He said that if the present support of farm prices by the government is con tinued, it would be necessary to place all crops under allotment Should this be done, he pointed out, the government would prob ably take a 3 year period on j which to get an average acreage for each crop. By turning in esti mates of the reporters, at least I one year's figures would not be I those of the farmer, himself, iSpruSl said. j Barnes Resigns | County Position Harry Barnes, of Cherry, has resigned as secretary of the Washington County Board of Elections, and his resigination has been officially accepted by the State Board, according to H.
