Cherry Speaks To
Veterans Group
At Lumberton
Lumberton, April 13. The 300,000
men and women from North Caro
lina now in uniform are the "seed
corn" of the State, Gregg Cherry,
candidate for Governor, s;id here
in addressing a county-wide rally
of war veterans. These 300.000 are
the very best from our schools, our
farms, and our factories. They are
the State's protectoin for the future."
"Therefore," Mr. Cherry continued,
"Far and beyond any other problem
this State faces is the problem of
readjustment, from army to civil
life, of this group of young men and
young women. They are our ' seed
corn" and they must be treated as
such."
The Gastonia man, who is seeking
the gubernatorial nomination, was
heard by Robeson County Veterans
of World War I and by many younger
veterans of World War II who are
already out of uniform and making
the adjustment to civil life.
" You can't make a soldi"" over
night," Mr. Cherry said. "It takes
weeks and months of rigid training.
By the same intelligence you can't
change a soldier into a civilian over
night. Living under battle conditions
causes mental and physical changes
to take place in a man. When these
men come home from tiie war, only
sympathetic handling and treat rent
will restore them to their full civilian
status in a busy and useful word."
Mr. Cherry himself fought In
France during Wor'rl War I, as Cap
tain of a Machine Gun Company.
"Your state must aid and assist in
this transition period that will follow
total surrender on the part of our
enemies," Mr. Cherry continued. "In
addition to what the federal govern
ment does and what the Red Cross
does and what various other a?eneies
will do, the state must face the fact
that it has here problem that
supercedes and surpasses all other
problems of the immediate future.
The "seed corn" of thin generation
mjist be save.! for this and future
generations."
The speaker said that every one
must help now to w in the war, and
when the war is over we must pro
vide an adequate organization of ser
vice officers, in every county in the
State, to help veterans and their fam
ilies with their readjustments.
"You must all recall that tile heroes
of 1917 anj 1018 were permitted to
shift around, many denied the right
to earn a living, and many were de
stroyed. There were 90,000 from
North Carolina in that war group.
Now we already have 300,000 in
uniform with others being aJded.
The problem is bigger and more im
portant. (
"Are we to lose our seen corn:
In a period of spurious prosperity
will we forget those who saved
us?. Here lies our most sacred ob
ligation of the immediate future. We
must see these North Carolina fight
ing men and women reestablished in
employment and in self-respect. We
must aid them to build homes where
they can have families. Those who
are giving the lie to the charge that
young America was soft, sloppy, and
would not fight must be cared for,
nurtured, rehabilitated and seen safe
ly through a period of transition. We
must measure up to tneir ideais ana
to the ideals of the thousands of men
who have fought for this state back
through the years of its history.
Big Naval BUI
To The Senate
WASHINGTON, A unanimous
House vote sent to the Senate a record
high $32647,134,336 appropriation bill
for the navy for the 12 months start
ing July 1.
While the largest for the navy, the
bill fell about $27,000,000,000 short
of the all-time high supply bill, for
the army, passed last year.
Passage came on a roll-call vete
of 257 to 0, after one day of debate
devoted mainly to demands from
Democrats and Republicans alike
that the United States now posses
sing the largest fleet in history keep
its place as a top naval power after
the war.
The bill will be followed soon by
an estimated $50,000,000,000 supply
measure for the army $9,000,000,
000 below last year's all-time high
for that agency.
Representative Patman (D-Tex)
yesterday blocked passage on a stand
ing vote, and demanded today's roll
call. He insisted that the members
go on record on a bill of such im
portance. 299 Cases Handled
