This is heartbreaking for his folks and exceeding disappointing lo his friends, who were planning a hit; political future for him. RESPONSIBLE There are a lot of thing that aren't generally known about Dick Reynolds poli tical activities on the national scene between 1940 and 1942. Had it not been for him, FDR might have been beaten by Wilkie. If you remember, Roosevelt's campaign was dragging late in the summer of 1940. Cocky and con fident as usual, the President was taking it easy. That was one angle. The other angle was that the Demo crats had hit Wall Street so hard that they had no money. 'Ihey found it impossible to pu? the mag netic Roosevelt voice on the air. Meantime, the name of Wilkie was being promoted like a new brand of soap. In North Carolina, where the third term movement really had its beginning much to the dis may of some State conservatives who later jumped with vigor on the bandwagon the liberal Democrats were scared stiff. MONEY Dick Reynolds was ap proached . . . and he jumped into the fray virtually overnight. Tele phones jangled from Winston Salem to Raleigh and right on into the White House. Cold cash in six figures ($300,000 the first clip) sped to Washington and to New York. Radio time was bought with reckless abandon, and a cam paign that had been dragging sud denly took on real spark. And in (he middle of the fight was none other than your old friend, Dick Reynolds. Many of his friends cursed him with everything they could throw the very idea, a man of your wealth supporting this this this so-and-so in the White House! But Dick Reynolds was not to be dis suaded. He believed in That Man! And all told, he let the Demos have a total of $700,000 and he didn't know how soon the loan would be repaid either. THEN Well, you know what happened in the election. And then Dick Reynolds, appropriately enough, was made treasurer of the Democratic National Committee, which position he held until he became an officer in the Navy. He was succeeded by Ed Pauley, who will be your next Secretary of the j Navy. j Pauley. California oil man. paid I off i but not out of his own pocket' I the $700,000 lo Dick Reynolds and ! the other $50.1)00 owed by the Democrats. Now lie lias been made i Under Secretary of the .Navy. Steel Strike Head MEANTIME Now Reynolds is reportedly in Florida having a wonderful time yachting, etc., and establishing residence for you know what. There is a great deal more to the story. But if Roosevelt hadn't died, old Dick would be liuhl u j there in politics . . . well on his way to having some reputation other than that as a very, very rich young man. GRAY Fitting into (he picture very nicely is young (about U4i Gordon Gray, publisher of the Winston-Salem dailies, who has just announced his candidacy for i the State Senate. With Reynolds j no longer on the scene. Gray will likely go on to become Governor (running in 1952). He entered the Army as a private in May. 1942. came out a captain. Very quiet and conservative in a liberalish sort of way, he is a man liiat will bear watching. He was in the Stale Senate in 1939 and 1941. Don't b.e surprised, then, to see former Grange Master Harry 13. Caldwell of Greensboro, Brandon Hodges of Asheville, and Gordon Gray slugging it out when the Gov ernor's race goes west again. HOPEFUL Former Governor O. Max Gardner's thousands of friends want him to come back home, back to the people who love him, back to his native hearth. Al though he is one of the most suc cessful and prominent attorneys in Washington, they say he is needed in the Shelby area. He's getting on in years now, and they say that the tragic death of his son (committed suicide a week ago Saturday! is turning him to thoughts of home. Gardner has done more for Shel by than any other man including Senator Clyde R. Hoey and he has probably been closer to the inner workings of your stale government during the past 15 years than jay other man. Exceedingly few poli tical moves of any consequence were made in this slate from ltf2ft until 1945 that he wasn't consult ed, in advance. - $ ma vc : ; I rV Jff- io Ik i , ' -'5 ; & ' i i&faihfciffiiwiimlwifaawiMaMwwnMMMffrHHff '- PERSONAL DIRECTION of the nation wide steel strike was In the hands of Philip Murray, president of the steel-workers' union and of the CIO, pictured here at the door of his Chicago hotel room as he an nounced the walkout to be "100 per cent effective".

Kerr Scott, envisions North Carolina as the future dairy land of Dixie. Scott says that the state is in the process of setting up a $16,000 laboratory to help make this vision possible. He adds that the laboratory will be used to establish, and we quote, "firmly in the mind of the public the utmost confidence in all dairy products purchased in North Caro lina." "The state department of agri culture," and quote again, "now has six excellent trained men work ing al all times to hel you build this slale into the dairyland of Dixie." However, Scott says that of the thousands of dollars going to the stale in taxes from ice cream man ufacturers, not one cent goes to the dairy division of the department, and we quote, "rich is striving to build a solid dairy industry." He declares that the dairy divi sion expends annually approxi mately $20,000 in its control pro gram. Of this amount, he says, only a meagre $1,600 comes from the dairy industry and this through (he ice cream inspection fee. The remainder comes from the sale of fertilizer and feed tags. "In other words," he says, "none of the funds which are collected from the ice cream manufacturers by Ihe state ever directly reach the dairy industry again. We hope that it will be possible in the near future to remedy this situation." HERE and THERE (Continued From Page Two) for preventing another war."

By the way in conversation with Mrs. Robert Erwin. who did her husband's work while he was in the Navy, we were much interested in what she had ot say about cov ering N. C. news in Washington. The people in Mantco want to know what they are doing in Mur phy, which is quite different in some of the states they cover in the capital. Often one section of a state is interested only in their congressman, and not what their ellicials as a whole are doing.

Elliott C. i Beardsley, Monroe county farmer and former cowboy, admitted in Superior court that on occasions when he was "feeling pretty good" he used to demonstrate his William Tell skill by shooting a tin can from his wife's head with a rifle. But he couldn't see anything in that to justify the charges of "in tolerable cruelty and habitual in temperance" which were the basis of his wife's divorce suit.
