North Carolina -will lose one ijt in Cong-ess, de spite early reports ta tho contrary, Although the slats picked up 3.500,000 to more than 4,000,000 noses counted this year, the per- centage oi s-'in i i km iiVe. lae national vc-r?e iz.n is. 14.3 ! Virginia ant! Florida are the only two sottihorii states that are even up to tlm n?tunal average. Seats in r..n"re;s (referring to the House, ' mr:e) are assigned on the b.is'-: of population. But any resin'" is done on the percentage ol' ;iin and loss. .4 Thus, the folks on Capitol Hill here are hearing that North Caro lina will lose one' seat because although we picked up nearly a half million population - - our gain is below the national average. This would result In a knock down dragout battle In the legis- lature over redisricting,' and like ly would send the General Assem bly into one of its longest sessions. i-v, Willis Smith, U. S. Senator nominate, has resigned as head of the Kerr Scott-appointed com mittee to study the impartial ad ministration of justice. In his resignation, Smith said he was quitting because he ex pects to be busy, but added a barb at Scott. Smith said the commit tee had not been able to operate because of lack of funds. The committee's secretary, Allen Langston of Raleigh, denied this, saying that the chairman (Smith) had kopt the from working. , The governors office said the committee never was supposed to have any apropriation; that its members were appointed " because they were believed to be "public spirited citizens" who could afford to come to Raleigh and make the study ar . .? r own expense. . . Folks in the Eastern Tobacco Belt are mighty peeved about the delay in opening of their markets. It was the second year in a row that the Belt opening was delayed, and from editorial and personal comment, the oys in . Wilson, Goldsboro,; Rocky Mount, Green ville and other markets- seem to think there's something more than meets the eye In the move. . They point out that Fred Roys ter of Henderson, president of the Bright Belt Association, knew more time was needed f or' GeorgiaFlo rida growers when the dates were, first announced.. They seem to think he could have done some thing about , the, situation a long time ago. "U Ironically, the Middle Belt - where Royster has at least a part interest In one warehouse - -..stands to benefit most by the move. Their markets will open only 10 day's behind the Eastern Belt A lot of growers in that section, which in cluded Henderson now probably will sell their tobacco on the Mid dle Belt father than truck it to the Eastern Belt, as they would have if there were ,more time between belt openings. I'M AVAXACLE BOYS- WM3 si? A vriAtt NEITHER 1 r ,. l r 1 hi v t 1 If enough folks get sore about the Eastern Belt snafu, it could hurt Royster's chances at the spea- I kership of the House of Represen I tatives. With his only ' announced opponent, Frank Taylor of Golds ' Jjoro, reaping crticlsm for his committee Pal't in tne Advisory Budget com missions denial of a bonus to the teachers, this could set the stage for a dark horse to snap up the 1951 speakership. State Civilian Defense Chief E. Z. Jones of Burlington isn't get ting too good a response from. mayors of North Carolina's cities out of their lethargy. Or maybe It will take a bombing or two in this country to wake up folks. Whether you like it or not, we're at war. v.. ,' i ;,.,;..!:,. ,y!V At Mocksvill'e recently Secretary of State Thad Eure made himself a speech. ' The' . occasion was the annual picnic for the Masonic Or phanage. Reports reaching here are that Thad sent up a few trial baloons to see what his chances are for either .the gubernatorial race in 1952 or the senatorial race In 1954. ' " , - The governor's, office, compared and towns. More ..than two weeks it with the Advisory Committee on Highway Safety, all of whose mem bers are meeting and traveling at their own expense;, to try,: t do something about the' highway death toll. This last committee has no . appropriation either. The Justice Committee held only one meeting. That was for organi zational purposes on February 10. It has done nothing since. ago he asked them to appoint Civi lian Befense bosses for their mu nicipalities. Up to now-42 of the more than 350 incorporated towns and cities have named a Civilian Defense head'. Jones is preparing a map of each town ' and city, showing gra phically what would happen to it in'case'of an atomic bomb, attack. Maybe it will shake the mayors Ki-f'-V,w "V PricesUp-SellForCash DELIVER OUR PLANT ,1 WAYNE AGRICULTURAL WORKS, INC. SOUTH JOHN STREET, GOLDSBORO, N. C. He picked a good test spot lor an easterner to test the validity of the old east-west rotation tradition. The next governor by tradition is supposed to come from the west. Incidentally, a rumor keeps pop ping up here , that Charley John son is aiming to run again for governor in 1952 The ex-state treasurer who got his lumps from Kerr Scott has moved to Charlotte and some folks are claiming he is now eligible as a candidate from the west. It's reported here that the conservative "Old Guard is inclined to favor Charley. But a one-time loser has a hard row to hoe.- O. Max Gardner of Shelby was the only man to do the trick in modern times. Cam Morrison of Charlotte whipped Gardner in 1920 but Gardner announced Tin; 1928 and was unopposed by another Democrat. Gardner is the only one to make the grade, and also the only Lt.-Governor ever" to be elected governor. - k ft. V In the waiting room at the onv- fernor's office,, there's lot of free literature advertising the State. One piece "shows the the wonders of the eastern half of North Caro lina, another sings the praises of the west. There s a pamphlet tell ing the history of the Capitol, an other .gives general history.' and facts about the state, still another gives a history of the governor's mansion. The most interesting, however, is labeled: "What to See in North Carolina; Variety Vacationland." . - . .. : There's a good chance the var ious Rural Electrification Authori ties in North Carolina will organize themselves a statewide association this fall.- They already are .thinking about pooling funds to buy a huge tent to take around from place to place for various REA meetings. . ' ' The new prisons director, former Chief of Police John' M. Gold of Winston-Satem, got one of the most cordial welcomes ever hand- . j,-., if i.-j ., ..1 t .r i - -i and visit model prison systems in other states, and devote as much time In the next few -months as possible to learning all he : can about prison operation and re habilitation. ' ' The Ex-Wake Forest footballer believes the prison system is fall ing down on the Job if it doesn't make better citizens of men and women while they are locked up. Incidentally, Dr. Henry Jordan, Highway Commission chairman, got a letter from FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover congratulating Jor dan on Gold s appointment "We of the FBI have always re garded Chief Gold as an exception ally . able law enforcement offi cial and we wish him great .suc cess in bis new position," Hoover said. In talking to Colonel Thomas Upton, . new State Selective Ser vice boss, Governor Scott said he wanted politics kept out of Selec tive Service in North Carolina. The governor again said he would not ask 'deferment . for any State em ployee. You might be Interested to know that occupational deferments are not expected to enter the picture until the draft tempo is stepped up. -' Note to hoarders - The big brass in Raleigh hears that- the biggest manufacturing cuts on consumer items will be in raidos, autos, tele vision sets, refrigerators, and wash- a..v.; cuts have i . No big reductions axe expected for a while yet in other items. Captain L. B. Fisher, Highway Safety director, has asked county commissioners of the state to set up a Safety Council in each county. This -week he'll send a complete kit on highway safety to each chair man of a county board of commiss ioners, showing them Just how it is done. The State Merchants Association has plans in the making to keep an eve on all requests for rate in creases by utilities. The associa tion's executive committee has O.K. ed the plan, and will present it to the board of directors for appro val at a September session. The plan calls for expansion of an ex isting Transportation Committee and renaming it-the Transportation and i : Utilities Committee. This group will take a look at all uti lity rate boost requests and pass along Information to members for possible protest or' approval. At torney I. M. Bailey of Raleigh will be the number one watch dog. i '-;!, ,-,'i" ; ,, .', Folks in Jforth Carolina who Buy insurance should have a kind word these daVs for Insurance Commiss ioner Waldo Cheek. Since he has been In office -- some 13 months - - he has ordered reductions -in insurance premiums of all types to taling more than $7,000,000. That's about $1.75 saved for every man, women and child In North Carolina. who are way Lt-.J on a . t to build school bus bodies ,r l. a State finally have begun to de liver a few August 11, Hackney delivered 9 school buses and promised 50 or ' 60 more by August 18. That big delivery didn't come ' through on schedule. , " Used to be' that bus deliveries weren't, pushed, but the State Di vision of Purchase and Contract ' under Charley Williams is deman ding that bidders live up to thel. contracts. r It's a remote possibility that failure to deliver the new buses before opening of school could be responsible for school bus acci- dent. Some, old bus, that would have been replaced, could fail me.; chanicatly and cause injury or even death to some of the sefcael . kids. m3 WATC 1 .
