For if the Daniels’ had not bought Raleigh's afternoon paper, chances are the Knight’s would have. Leading Democrats sincere ly believe that the chief reason the Knight chain moved into Charlotte was to give the GOP a #good voice astride the Carolina^. Now the Charlotte Observer, as well as mahy another big daily, has not feeeh regarded as exactly • Democratic in many a day—on a national basis. Locally and state wise, these papers have not been violently Democratic or Repub lican—but more middle-of-the road, for-the-rhan type publica tions. The Charlotte Observer ran on its editorial page a few weeks ago a vigorously pro-Eisenhower and anti-Stevenson cartoon. _ The sons of the late Josephus Daniels couldn’t take too much of such carryings-on: and so they, bought the Times after almost two years of intermittent dis cussions with a newspaper broker. And so, even though the Ral eigh Times will not he so labor iously Democratic, -as its big brother, the Raleigh .News and Observer, it will certainly be"rio Knight in armour for the GOP.

As I have heretofore reported, this bill had ' been carefully studied by the members of the Senate Armed. ■Services Committee, who reached the abiding' conviction on the evidence presented before them that the extension of these laws for the times stated above was absolutely esential to the main tenance of an adequate National Defense. Armed Services I have enjoyed very much my service upon the Senat® Armgj^ Services Committee, and would like to pay tribute to its disting uished Chairman.

In other words, they act as Americans ralhe w -ihan si Dfiinofarits or fig ‘ publicans This is. of course, as • it should-he. . Addition r r' On Friday of last week, the State of Louisiana presented to the United Slates for permanent location in Statuary Hall, the statue of otie of her most disting uished sons, Edward Douglass White, soldier of the Confederacy and one time Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Edward Douglass White be came a Justice of the Supreme Court of Louisiana in 1879. After he had served in that capacity ■ for fifteen years, he was appoint ed an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States « by President William Howard Taft. He occupied this last office until his death in 1921. It thus appears that Edward Douyjss White was called to Judicial- J*h0£- »PO Nation's, highest trlminal after he had ripened his experience as a Judge by long service on his Stale's highest Court, and that ho was elevated to the Chief Justiceship of the Unued States after he had further ripened his experience as a Judge by Court service as an Assoociate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Un-~ happily, .the grand old American; custom of promoting 7 mmr^of^ ripened legal learning and judic ial experience to the Nation's highest tribunal has been more honored of late in its breach than in its observance.

Tar Heel PEOPLE & ISSUES by Cliff Blue BEDFORD BLACK ... Bedford W. Black of Kannapolis wouTd like mighty well to run for Na tional YDC President and could possibly win if he could get the whole-hearted^snpport of the YDC in his county, district and state. Ordinarily, a person who has a reasonable chance of winning a nation-wide office in most any organization has but little trouble in gettingr home support. But such is not exactly the case with Black who served as State YDC •yrtiaouer. Ia ftt a fearmry artisan the iron! page of the Concord Tribune, June 12, Jesse Poindexter ‘well put it when he wrote: “Bedford Black is without question the most liked and disliked man in Cabarrus County politics today.-’ A protege of Charlie Cannon and the late Governor and United States Senator J. M. Broughton,— Cannon dropped Black when he insisted on supporting Frank Graham for United States Sena tor in 1050 when Cannon was sup porting Willis Smith, Broughton’s death in early 1949 followed by Cannon’s"action in 1950 left the young Kannapolis attorney sink or swim for himself. CONNECTIONS . . Outside of Jonathan Daniels, Bedford Black probably has ,better connections with the “next to the top"'moguls*' of the National Democratic Party organization than any "Other man. not holding a public office like the Governor, United States Sen ators and Congresmen. And trank ly, Daniels and Black, neither of whom are too popular at home have far better national connec tions than many of those who out rank them party and office wise in North Carolina.

But he would n't do it and he well knew what it was costing him when he was making his decision. UP AND DOWNS . In 1949 Black ran for YDC National Com mitteeman and was defeated by Gene Gordon after the latter with drew from the race for piesident and formed a combine with Terry 'Sanford wstritmg- on SanfordU.. election as president and Gordon's election as national committee nun.

When tota'ed. the yearly in come from social security pay ments is rather high—about 54 million dollars—but the individ ual average payments are low Last year, they averaged about 39 dollars per person who are eligi ble to receive social security money.

In the future, this number will increase rapidly, since about 70 million people are covered by the program. It is encouraging to note that as of today, nine out of ten mothers and children in the Nation are assured of monthly in come from the program if the head of the family dies. "WHEAT. Reports coming out of the western wheat' belts indi cate that faifoers are on the verge of throwing over the wheat price support piogram. Last week, Secretary of Agriculture Benson announced that price supports on the 1B58 wheat crop will be 7ti per cent of parity under his flexi ble price support program. This' year, wheat farmers are getting 82-5 per cent parity support. This year’s wheat is supported at $2.06 per bushel. Next year’s support price will be $1.81 -per bushel un der Benson’s plan. The danger to the entire wheat support plan hinges on the farm ers’ vote June 25. A two-thirds vote of approval among wheat farmers isi required for the new support prices. If. less than two thirds approve the pjan. Ihrji wheat support prices drop to 50 per cent of parity. Many Democrats are accusing Secretary Benson of attempting to destroy the support program by selling wheat prices at such a low level —the lowest since 1046. Farmers in the western wheat states may abandon the support plan- in an effort to overcome losses from lower prices Ivy Tn c. easing acreage. STORIES.

Tty*,: is a disease known as leaf gall and is quite common on azal eas and sasanqua camellias at this time of the year. I have noticed it oil some of my ovrn azaleas this spring. In cool, damp, weather it ma> become, especial ly severe. The diseased portions of the leaves become thick and fleshy and have a pale yellowish-green color. At maturity the galls arte covered with a white poWdery material which cosists of the spores ol the fungus, by means of which it is spread to other leaves and plants. Although leaf gall will weaken the plant if the infection is severe, gardeners should not tieCtyme unduly alarmed. It is not us had as it looks. — You can control this disease , fairly effectively by picking off the infected leaves and burning them. This .should be done before t-hnys dev elop spores -which will infect other leaves. Spraying with Bordeaux mixture or Captan at two week intervals from late March until May will control leaf gall.. It is too Into to apply the spray this year The sprays should be timed so that they will miss the blooms a» much as possible in order to ad void staining and disco lot ation.
