toral votes equal the number of
their United States senators and
representatives.
A house judiciary subcommittee
is considering the proposed amend
ment. 'Representative Robsin
iK.-Ky.i, chairman of the subcom
mittee, says there is considerable
support for it. He says it would
result in a larger vote being cast
in states which normally were re
garded as "sure" Republican or
Democrat, because minority voters
would feel their votes would count.
Mr. Lea says the present system
makes for "an unwholesome con
centration of efforts to win the
doubtful states while the other
states are on the sidelines in a
presidential contest."
Rep. Estes Kefauver (D.-Tenn.)
says the proposed change would
tend to prevent presidential admin
strations of both parties favoring
the "key" states by grants of public
works and other patronage.
Some Democrats fear that the
proposed change would increase
Republican victor chances. They
argue that it would reduce the
Democrats' advantage in industrial
New York, Pennsylvania and
Illinois; where substantial majori
ties in the cities have enabled them
to capture those states' large elec
toral votes.
Advantages Deabted
They say the Republicans
"probably would be glad" to ex
change a proportion of the elec
toral vote in such states as Kan
sas. Vermont and Colorado for a
proportion of the electoral vote in
Illinois, New York and Texas.

Umsteadiles really want to defeat
the Broughtonites, they should
coax Lt. Gov. L. Y. Ballentine into
running for Governor, say the Bal
lentiners. With four men running
from Wake Johnson, Broughton,
Ballentine and Albright J. M.
might be hurt a little. Meantime,
however, Mr. Broughton says not
a word, goes on sawing wood. The
Ballentiners feel they aren't get
ting enough encouragement from
the Umstead supporters, who in
turn feel they have their hands
full without "getting messed up in
this Governor's race."

This success will no doubt lead to

WHY NOT NOW? North Caro
lina churches are pussyfoolers.
Sermons are weak. Led by ag
gressive ministers, chinch mem
bers of this State could do almost
anything they want to in the politi
cal picture. But they are not
united. They bicker among them
selves. They curse the situation
between elections, but during elec
tions they show no strength. That
is why so many people have lost
confidence in the leadership of the
church.
This bitter comment is brought
on by the fact that political cam
paigns are shaping up for next
year. But is your church united
on any one thing? What has be
come of the strength of the church?
Why doesn't it ascrt itself and
make itself felt in political cam
paigns? Why doesn't it fight, in
stead of whine? If the churches
of this State are to become any
thing more than mere Sunday
meeting places, for members, they
must show more aggression. Now
is a good lime to get started.
HATED THE THOUGHT Tom
Scott, head of the Production and
Marketing Administration, saw
around June 1 that the market
would be insufficient to absorb
this State's early commercial Irish
potato crop. He met with the
Governor. He scoured the State
looking for some agency that would
take the potatoes for nothing!
Anything but dumping! He hated
the thought; so did everybody else.
But there was inadequate storage
space for any State or private in
stitution. Anyway, this potato is
highly perishable. And, last week
while millions went hungry in
other' parts of the world, they
began the destruction of thousands
of bushels of potatoes while a
wealthy Uncle Sam paid the grow
ers 90 per cent of parity, a rela
tively good price, for each bushel
dug.
And thorns shall come up in her

(Editor's note: Robert Tome, 13.
was playing near his Milwaukee
home when he found an abandoned
Icebox 28 inches in depth. 20
Inches wide, and 17 inches high.
He climbed in to explore It. The
door slammed shut and he was Im
prisoned for 22 hours. He de
scribes his experiences in the fol
lowing dispatch.)
By ROBERT TOME
MlLWAUKEE.'Wisc. (P) I just
wanted to see what it looked like
inside. Before I could, the door
slammed shut.
I gelled and pounded on t he
door. I needed ar right away. 1
figured I'd hold my breath a while.
That didn't do much good. So 1
yanked out the top of the overflow
pipe and breathed through the
drain pipe.
1 could hear factory whistles and
trains going by but nobody could
hear me yelling. 1 tried to push
the door open with my back but 1
couldn't do it. Then I just lay
down and saved my strength.
1 guess I fell asleep for a while
and when I woke up I could hear
somebody pass by outside. I yelled
ana pounuca. it aian t do no
good.
1 had on a Jacket, sweater, shirt
and undershirt and it was hot
wanted to get. the jacket and the
sweater off but there wasn't enough
room. I was pretty much deublcd
up on my side. I ripped the left
sleeve off the packet and that made
it a little better.
I had a giant salute firecracker,
and some matches in my pocket.
I decided I'd try to blow a hole
in the icebox if I didn't get out
after a while. I put the cracker
down but I forgot about it. lt got
all damp and got ruined.
After a while 1 started praying.
I was chewing gum, hut I took it
out of my mouth while I was pray
ing and lost it. I didn't get very
hungry.
I thought about my family and
the two exams I was supposed to
lake in school today. Then 1 yelled
some more.
I didn't get mad at people for
not hearing me, but I sure wished
somebody did.
Finally my dad found me last
night, Just when I was giving up
hope.
When he opened the door I
jumped up and began kissing him.
1 couldn't stand very well because
my knees were stiff and swollen.
I didn't even say hello to him.

have been born on a Sabbath day
