THOMPSON GREENWOOD
In India
DEWEY Governor Broughton's
speech on the Democratic conven
tion in Chicago has provided the
Republicans of this State with
plenty of political ammunition and
they are using it to the fullest ex
tent possible. The Union Repub
lican, Winston-Salem paper, play
ed up the speech big in a recent
issue, and it is being used by
Democrats in the State who are
afflicted with a Liberty League
(remember?) outlook. Some of
these fellows have been looking for
a good excuse to move against the
Democratic ticket this year, they
have found it in the words of the
titular head of the party in old
Democratic North Carolina. That
radio Bpeech was full of it.
pretty nearly all. anyway. The
days will he given over to teachers'
conferences. Why two days for
conference? this year? The schools
have run pretty well now for seve
ral decade? without using the
State's money for conferences. It
is doubtful if the teachers will
have enough real business to war
rant their spending more than three
or four hours laying plans for the
school year. As things stand now,
it is almost impossible to do a great
deal until the children come to
school. At any rate, will the con
ferences be worth around a half
million dollars to education in this
State?
HORNE The phlegmatic Josh
Horne, editor of the Rocky Mount
Evening Telegram, chairman of
the Board of Conservation and De
velopment, and Willkie man in
1940, has come out with an edi
torial for Dewey just like a good
Republican. Governor Broughton
spent a day or two in Home's com
pany last week and no doubt they
had a big time discussing the
Democratic party, which the Gov
ernor was so eager to serve as its
Vice Presidential nominee a few
rbort weeks ago.
SELF Members of the Brough
ton ring are laying careful plans
tc look after trieir own in the years
to come. Th y would like to re
tire R. 0. Self. of the Utilities Com
mission, and replace him with
either Charles Flack, Broughton's
private secretary, or H. J. Rhodes,
assistant to the Attorney General.
The finger points to Rhodes if Mr.
Self is moved out, though Flack
may get the place.
Wade Bruton, whom Rhodes suc
ceeded, is now in the Adjutant
General's office on a leave of ab
sence and may come back any day,
throwing Rhodes, who is personally
a good fellow, out of a job. On
the other hand, the Broughton folks
may try to get a little more money
appropriated for the Attorney
General's office so that they may
keep Rhodes and Bruton.
CONTACTS Men who have
lived in Raleigh manage to keep
their contacts with Raleigh bureau
crats if they are smart. P. G.
Hampton, Western North Carolina
attorney, was prominent here for
many years as an official of the old
Department of Labor and Printing.
He still comes to town now and
then to represent some client, and
he is usually successful, for his
contacts with various folks are
still strong. A whisper here, a
black slap there, and a compliment
or two over yonder almost always
do the trick.
Hampton, incidentally, is a bro
ther of Frank Hampton, former
secretary of the late Senator F. M.
Simmons. Frank Hampton is now
the leading attorney with the Fed
eral Power Commission.
BAILEY Senator Josiah W.
Bailey is not in good health, it is
said, and Broughton opponents are
afraid he may decide to resign be
fore the Governor's term ends, thus
opening the way for JMB to go to
the Senate. If Bailey goes on into
the Cherry years (1944-48) the
Gastonia gentleman may name
your next Eastern Carolina senator.
TWO DAYS Those first two
days of school September 15 and
16 in which not one student will
be taught, will cost the State
around $450,000. It's all sham, or

TELLING
You can tell an apprentice seaman
by his look of great alarm.
You can tell a petty officer by the
chevvies on his arm.
You can tell a swank lieutenant by
his manners, dress and such.
You can tell an ensign, but you
sure can't tell him much.

S. Air Forces, who is now serving
with the armed forces in India. He
entered the service in November,
1942, and was inducted at Fort
Jackson. From Fort Jackson he

Pvt. Howell anclosed a copy of the
ship's paper en route to India. It
was dated July 4, and told of the
huge offensive on the western part
of the Cherbourg peninsula. The
issue had many items of interest to
the men who had been aboard and
also contained a "warning" to
those aboard regarding the en
trance of the ship into a foreign
port, where enemy agents are
known to be at work.
