If the Justices sre displeased with the an- nointment. feel the Governor has done lust what they feared, there will be no retirement until after the next . gubernatorial election. They will stay on, and possibly will help campaign for a conser vative governor, in 1952.-However, If Scott names a conservative, or even a "conservative liberal", two of the remaining justices likely will go ahead and retire if they are convinced Scoit will do like wise in naming their successors. The new appointment will be made by the time this reaches print. But there is no dearth of candidates for the Supreme Court seat. Among those seeking, the spot (or- were) Attorney General Harry McMullan; Jeff Johnson, campaign manager for ' Senator Frank Grai am and who has been classed as . conservative but Is more liberal vtaffbome folks think; Superior Court Judge Hunt Park er; and Allen Langston, Raleigh attorney. Those are Just a few of those who wanted the Job. " Jeff Johnson, at this writing, ap parently had the inside track. But some Scott, supporters felt that appointment of McMullan to the bench would he. the smartest poii Ucal move that Scott could make. McMullan, conservative who has fougnrScOtt' in; many 'matters -- particularly- the Smith-Graham primaries -- has the knowledge of the law that i needed. He would satisfy-the remaining court Just ices. And his appointment would give the Governor the chance ,to name his own man as Attorney General. Some of McMullan's rul ings have been adverse to the Scott administration, 'and since ruling by the Attorney General stands in lieu of Supreme Court decision, it could be very important for the Governor to have his own boy in that Job. Secretary of Defense George Mar shell's recent order that travelling congressmen -- including Tar Heel Harold Cooley -- must travel by private plane and at their own ex pense where possible has an inter esting background. attention to activities of I, A. Hall, chairman of the Sampson county board of. commissioners. Incidentally, , the investigation has turned up information that Ithe Sampson sheriff majces better than fzo,000 a year. It is all legal, hut good; pay. The income comes from the regular $3,300 sheriffs salary, plus fees and a cut of Insolvent tax collections allowed by law. It puts the Sampson sheriff's pay at more than, that of the Governor of the State. . - - Reports are reaching me that Negro leaders are passing the word to members of their race to scratch Senator Nomine Willis Smith's name from the ballot and vote for Republican E. L. Gavin of Sanford. The reports are that Negroes are being urged to turn out in record numbers at the general election, and to vote the straight Demo cratic ticket except for Smith. . Labor, is instructing its mem bers to write-in Frank Graham's name if they don't feel they can vote Repulbican. And despite Senator Graham's call to all his supporters to vote' for Smith, there are persisting reports that a lot of them either will write in Graham's name, not-vote in the senatorial race, or will vote for the GOP standard-hearer. " Democratic leaders are pooh- poohing the idea that a Republican can be elected, of course, and no One will know until the ballots are counted. It isn't a very likely event, however, but not altogether impossible. Two years sgo Cooley 's Republi can opponent charged that Cooley was galivantlng over the world, and taking his wife along, at gov ernment expense, Cooley denied the charge. - f ' Now Marshall has ordered that the globe-trotting Cooley and other congressmen can not travel by U, S. government planes unless -there is no other transportation avail able. The ruling followed a hop by the . congressmen via Uncle Sam's aircraft.' ' - , . Over in Sampson County, sn in vestigation is turning up charges that the county attorney, A. L. But ler, has accepted psy for extra ser; vices. In - paid advertisements, H Krouo ' calling themselves the "Sampson County Taxpayers Lea gue" says Butler was paid $4,000 for extra services in connection with the Sampson County hospital and Sampson ; County Jail. The group charges that the services should have been covered by But ler's regular salary as county at torney. , t ? . Although thfodi sre being sigh., ed as non-partisan, there are poli tical overtones.- Butler la a state Republican leader. He Is nephew Of the late Marion Butler, Populist U. S. Senator from North Carolina in Reconstruction Days. The group making the charges is made up f Sair; :m Democratic leaders. And the republicans have held Samp son Ci '- e "Ices since IZZi. r - :, ! r ' 'v V'" , Party harmony Is the keynote of the congressional district rallies, which wind up next week. And you can't tell how folks will vote when you listen to them talk. Ap parently the final decision depends on the number of people will stick to party line as compared to those who vote for against the individual. Don't be surprised if the Republi cans capture the biggest percentage of votes in the Senatorial race in many years. The 'Hackney Body Works com pany at Wilson has come through on its contract to build school bus bodies for the State. By the time you read this, the Wilson firm prob ably will have delivered the last of 350 buses it was slated to build. At first the Hackney outfit had a contract for su nuses, wnicn were to have been delivered before school opened hv September. But by mid-August the company had not delivered but a few, and 100 of the buses were taken from Hack ney and allotted to another firm, with Hackney paying the difference between its bid price and actual cost plus transportation of chassis. . The, Wilson firm had been caught short In the steel squeeze, caused by the -war in Korea, but finally got going and delivered the buses a month late. ' , The shennanigans at the congress lonkl tallies are leaving the so-called, political experts talking to them seiveif.''' . -Conservatives are touting Bill Umstesd of Orange as a candidate for .governor in 1952. The experts cant make up their minds whether this is a sounding-out process - trying to get the Scott-led liberals to ssy who they'll back - - or wnetn- er it's s serious move to put Urn- stead in the race. It could he a move to find out whether or not the east-west tradi tion still is holding firm. If it is, he would have 1 strike - - at least against him. Reported willing candidates Secretary of State Thad Euro, State: Treasurer Brandon Hodges, Agriculture Commissioner L. Y. Ballentlne, Highway Com missioner Henry Jordan, and Ashe Ville Publisher D. Hiden Ramsey are keeping quiet The furore caus ed by a premature and, according to Thad, unauthorized announce men of Euro's candidacy has died down. '-''V"' ;';.'v' If Governor Scott has a favorite, he isn't letting It be known. And all of the above-mentioned men have been doing the rallies except Ramsey, who has said nothing and Is laying low. Some eyebrows were lifted when Congressmen Bob Doughton and C. B. Deane told voters to send Kerr Scott some men to the legis lature who would help him carry out his program. ' i ' It .sounded fine to Scott support ers on first glance, but a second look had, the governor's friends wondering what good the pleas were. Most of : the. house and sen ate members were decided, in the primaries,; and ' general election will havealttle effect on the make up of the 1951 General Assembly. The Governor's ' announcement that Congressman Ertel Carlysle will lead a fight for flood control and hydroelectric development of the Cape Fear came as a surprise. The governor was credited with some- asiuie maneuvering. All in all, the rallies give the ap pearance of some of the politicians seeing that Scott's popularity Is on the upgrade and trying to climb on the bandwagon. But one . suspicious Scott sup porter tabbed it as a "feint before they (opponents of the governor) swing a roundhouse punch". I . Anyway, things should be In teresting politically speaking, around the Old North State for some time to come. ' Some of the officials of the For estry Division of the Department of Conservation do not particul arly care for Kerr Scott and that feeling is echoed down in District 7 of the Forestry Division. Some time ago, I reported a dis trict meeting near Little Washing ton on Aug.- 18 at which forestry men reportedly sang "Whose afraid of Big Bad Kerr Scott." As all reporters do, I made some mistakes. That meeting was not District One, it was District Sev en. And it was not near Little Washington, it was in Washington County. And no one now remem bers singing of any such song. But here's a statement made by one of those present: "At one table was Warden Dar- den of Washington County and others, some of whom were plenty high. A friend of Darden's made a statement speaking of Kerr Scott and said he (Scott) is 'just' some thing they pulled from a mule's tail, sent to Raleigh and made govern or'. To which many applauded and Mrs. (the wife of a Raleigh Forestry official, whose name does not matter) went so far as to reach across the table and shake his hand in gratitude. This man made many nasty statements about Gov ernor Scott and some of those at the central office (Raleigh head quarters) seemed to enjoy it. Gov ernor Scott was cursed, damned and belittled beyond human de cency." J Following publication of the or iginal story, I was asked to check the facts. No one seemed to be wor ried about the reported misuse of State property in District Seven, but some of the Raleigh brass was unhappy about the reported singing of a song derogatory to the govern or. That story was used only because I thought it was funny. Folks who work for the State have a perfect right to like or dislike their gover nor, just as everyone else does. A check showed that after the story came out in CAPITAL RE PORTER, a meeting of all District Seven county wardens was called on September 20 at 10 a.m. in Elizabeth City. The meeting was held at the District warehouse. Nine wardens were present - - one, from Martin county, being able to come because he was appearing in court as a witness. The session was called by V. 'W. Herlevitch, district forester. Herlevitch said that there had been a lot of undue publicity about the August 18 party, that he was going to get to the bottom of the matter and that it would be just too bad for the man who talked to this reporter. He said everyone would be interviewed and that they had better tell the truth. If it will make Mr. Herlevitch any happier, the original story did not come from one of his wardens, nor did it come from Raleigh. And nobody cares whether he or anyone else likes the governor. But how about checking up on the report -- that has been turned in to Raleigh heodquarters that one man hauled away State prop erty for his own use, and used a State-owned truck to do the hauling?

Niemoeller Warns American Nation About 'Superman' LAKE JUNALUSKA, N. C.l America is to avoid the itfall Inn which Germany fell when Hitlei rose to power, it must see men at men and not as supermen, Dr. Mar tin Niemoeller told the Junalusks Assembly here. In an address at the assembly's mid-century convocation on "An Adequate Faith for the Present Age," the German church leadei aald: "The feeling in America today Is what it was in Europe 20 years ago: that this is the time for a strong man. "Perhaps you, as I, have wonder ed how in a country like Germany--' 90 per cent Christian a man like Hitler could come into power. It was that he pretended to be a super; man. ): .'It has not yet happened fa- America, but it could when we see how the times are calling for a superman to bring civilisation un der control." Pastor Niemoeller warned against considering any nation or all man kind as a race of supermen, citing the "terrible" experience of his own nation during the past two decades. Men who believe themselves su peimen, he declared, soon, try to rj place God; not only legislating what, is good or bad, but also judging who is good or evil. ' I : "Superman puts on the scrap heap those he thinks axe useless to him," Dr. Niemoeller said. "That is why Hitler bad six minion Jews I murdered." Maryland's Governor Bans Communism Debate THE YP-YO HAT t),.,j... i I "ck WASHINGTON, D. C The Wash- ington Council of Christian Churches has decided against appealing a de cision of Governor Lane of Mary land banning a debate on Commun ism at the nearby campus of the University of Maryland. The Rev. Kenneth Woodnng, pas tor of the Non-Sectarian Tabernac le, Rogers Heights, Md., and acting .secretary of the council, an organi sation of fundamentalist -churches, isaid, "We have lost a golden op portunity to give Communism a real ; blow In Maryland." The council helped arrange the debate. "" " Governor Lane ordered the de bate banned when he learned that one of the participants wss to be Philip Frankfeld, chairman of the Maryland-District of Columbia Com munist party. The governor said that while American boys were dy ing In Korea he would not permit a ; spokesman for "this malevolent con spiracy" the freedom of the . state university campus. ,;, Asks Negroes Seek !
