Brown Picked To Succeed Maybank ‘ Columbia, S. C: — Edgar A. Brown, South Carolina’s National Democratic comYnitt.eeman, was nominated yesterday by the State Democratic Committee to succeed the late Burnet R. Maybank as U. S, senator. Selection by the state commit tee means almost certain election to the Senate for Brown, who broke with Gov. James F. Byrnes in 1952 and refused to join the independent South Carolinians for Eisenhower Movement. He ear - paigned strongly for Adlai Stevenson, who narrowly "won t'i.; traditionally Democratic state's electoral votes. Brown, 66 and president, pro tern of the S*ite Senate, was nominated less than six fours be fore the midnight deadline f if certifying candidates for the No vember election. The committee turned down an alternate course —advocated by Governor Byrnes —to call a special primary and in the meantime put up a candidate ■who would promise to withdraw llater in favor of the primary win i Byrnes said he would appoint (such a primary winner to serve out MaySank’s unexpired term, which ends Jan, 2. Byrnes declin ed comment lor whether he would now amwir.t 3: own for the unex pired term. I Brown twice tried for the U. S. Senate in Democratic primaries, losing in 1926 and 1938. He ran against the late Sen. E. P. (Cotton Ed) Smith and former Sen N. B, Dial in 1926. Dial was elim'-iat 'd in the first primary and iBrown !o;"t fo Smith by 5,0^0 jvote; in hbe run-off. i IT’ :.vr! again in '933, pr>pos:rg ; Smith and then Gov. Olin D. i;V n«'on. now th® state’s other iU. S. Senator. In a dramatic move, never fully explained. ' Brown withdrew from the race a few days before the balloting. He has nt ver been a candidate for statewide office since Despite this. Brown is consider ed probably the most influential political figure in the state. He rose by seniority to chair manship of the powerful Senate Finance Committee and to presi dent pro tempore. The latter post put him second in line of succes sor to the governor. In the House of Represenatives from 1921-26, he was House speaker the last two years. A native of .Graniteville in liken County’s Horse Creek Val ley, Brown was a poor farm boy who sti’died law in Aiken before moving to Barnwell in 190S. There he became a member of the Sta^e Democratic Committee end has served continuously Sine?. He was state committee chairman fm- rfie second time in 1952-52. He moved up to national commit ‘eetnar. last year when Maybank resigned Brown played a prominent role in one pK*v«e of the 1912 Demo; e-atic national convention when he made a speech opposing the Southern fight against the pro posed loyalty oath. B'own also gave strong backing to 1952 Democratic Presidential candidate Adlai E. Stevenson. His energetic campaigning was a ma jor factor in keeping the state in the Deprocraic column. Gov James F.

He said such an appointment would enable the nominee to get the jump in seniority over other new senators entering the office next year.

It was also announced that dur ing the month of August the Daughters of America, Victory Council 19 of Raleigh and the Sister Elizabeth Kenny Founda tion at Minneapolis, Minnesota solicited citizens of the state.

NEWS FOR VETS Post Korean veterans now have three years from the date of their discharge to start Korean GI Bill training, under a new law signed [by the President August 20, 1954. Particularly benefited are the [majority of veterans discharged before August 20, 1952. Under the old law, they had to start training : before August 20 of this year. But [since most fall school terms begin in September, those unable to get in training before that deadline would have lost their entitlement. The new law, which re-establish ed their entitlement for another year from their date of separation, permits those with extended dead lines to enroll for the fall term. For veterans discharged after August20, 1952, the new law' al lows them to start training within three years of their separation date. Under the old law, they had only two years. But veterans who were separat ed before August 20, 1951 still will not be able to make fall term? this year. Neither will veterans separated shortly after that date, whose three-year deadlines end be fore the 1954 school year begins. The new law also adds another year to the wind-up of the Korean GI Bill training program. Train ing now must come to an end within eight yaers from the date of a veteran’s separation, or eight years from the end of the present emergency period — whichever comes first. It previously wras seven years. Another section of the law bene fits some disabled veterans w'ho have not been able to begin or complete training under the special vocational training pro gram for disabled veterans of World War II and post-Korea. These veterans get a four-year extension in their deadline for completing training, in certain cases. Veterans to whom the ex tension applies are: (1) Those whose severe disabilities have pre vented them from entering or completing training, (21 those who originally received discharges barring then! from training, but whose discharges later were cnang ed too late to permit them to enter and complete training. An other than dishonorable discharge is a requriement for this kind of vo cational training, (3) those for whom a service-connected disabil ity was not established in time to begin and complete a course of training. Compensable service connected disability is another eligibility requirement. Dr. Frank Graham To Speak In Raleigh Raleigh—Dr. Frank P. Graham, former president of the Greater University of North Carolina and now a mediator for the Unites Nations, has been scheduled to speak at the annual meeting of two farm cooperatives in Raleigh September 14. Dr. Graham, who also served in the United States Senate, will describe the role of the United Nations in develoing world peace, according to M. G. Mann, general manager of the’Farmers Coopera tixe Exchange and the N. C. Cotton Growers Association, the two organizations holding their joint annual meeting. W. Kerr Scott, former governor and now Democratic candidate for the Senate, will introduce Dr. Graham. Mann said the annual meeting of the cooperatives is expected to attract approximately 5,000 peo ple to Memorial Auditorium in Raleigh. The PCX is celebrating its 20th anniversity this year, and part of the meeting program will honor those who were instrumental in helping to organize the coopera tive in 193.4. Dr. Graham was among this group, along with other college and agricutlural leaders. Town Meeting Held At Boiling Springs Boiling Springs—A town meet ing was held in the community club house Tuesday night for the purpose of organizing a commun ity recreation program. Some 100 citizens attended, and appointed a commission of 12 to study the community’s needs and ways of getting a program under way. W. Lawson Allen is chairman of the commission, which will re port its findings at a subsequent town meeting around October 15. Dr. \V. Wyan Washburn, who called Tuesday night’s meeting, was elected to preside for the evening. He pointed out that com munity recreation should be for all ages and for varied interests. ! Proposed activities listed were j softball, base ball, tennis, archery, crafts, badminton, horse shoes, i volleyball, and children’s swings, slides, and wading pool. Plana for a swimming pool were also dis cussed. The Lions Club is tentatively planning to sponsor community recreation in some form next year with proceeds from its projects. Gardner-Webb College will gladly cooperate with the com munity in operating such a pro gram- and will offer its facilities for use of the community, accord ing to a statement from Dr. Phil Elliott, president. In keeing with this pledge Norman Harris, Gard ner-Webb coach and athletic direc tor, has been retained by the col lege on a 12 months basis and will be available to direct a recreation program for the college and com munity. Of relative importance to the program is the fact that the Gard ner-Webb Alumni Association .at its May meeting voted to. raise $100,000 for a memorial building, probably a new physical education building which would serve the needs of the college and the com munity.
