Maddry Gets Some Backing From Johnston SCOTT SUPPORTERS—They seemed pretty 'enthusiastic when they turned out to cheer on Kerr Scott at his Orange County fish fry near Orange Grove last month. But a few of Chapal Hill's Scott-for- Sehate boosters, shown above at the fish fry with their canddiate, have been wearing a large collective smite since their candidate won Saturday's primary election.

News Leader Photo Credits Clean Campaign . . . Scoff Supporters Are Somewhat Surprised Over Candidate's Strong Showing Locally The June 26 runoff election for county sheriff took shape quickly last night as Charles W. Johnston gave his qualified support to Dep uty Frank C. Maddry. The 50-year-old officer from tha Orange Church community ran 442 votes behind Odell Clayton in last Saturday’s Democratic primary. Al though Clayton got about 40 per cent of the votes cast in this bal loting, he failed to a get a major ity through votes that went to Johnston and Willie Laws of near Hillsboro. Mr. Maddry said last night that he had written a formal letter to Elections Board Chairman Edwin J. Hamlin calling for the run-off election between Clayton and him. Here is the final official break down of the vote in the sheriff’s race: Clayton, 2,434; Maddry, 1,993; Johnston, 1,330; and Laws, 324. Maddry "Best Man" Asked last night who he would support in the run-off, Mr. John ston said he personally intended to vote for Mr. Maddry. “While I feel myself that he is the best man for the job,” said Mr. Johnston, “I do not feel that I have the right to tell my supporters how to vote.” The losing candidate asked that his sin cere appreciation be expressed to the persons who voted for and sup ported him in the primary and the campaign before it.

The Chapel Hill community is well known for its cosmopolitan citizenry. It has remained, however, for Judge L. J. Phipps who volun tarily manned the old registra tions books to help misplaced voters find their proper niche during the Democratic Primary election last Saturday, to discov er just how cosmopolitan the community is. Eligible voters here include persons born in each of the 100 counties of North Carolina ex cept three, each of the 48 states except Nevada and in 43 foreign countries. viously thought he would- do so by such a substantial margin. How much of Scott’s support could be traced back to the scars of the senatorial primary four years ago is hard to pin-point. But it's quite possible that a good many local voters remem bered tlui bitterness of the Gra ham-Smith campaign of 1950 and took this into consideration at the polls. The Scott forces also had a head start on their opposition in Orange. Their candidate op ened his campaign in Chapel Hill last winter with his state ment of the code of campaign ethics which he intended to fol low. Then MI'S. Charles W. Stan ford of Bingham Township was named as state, co-chairman for women in the Scott campaign. Mr. Stewart was appointed a short while later and set up a county-wide organization. Joseph H.

In every one the Squire from Haw River had at least a ■ two- to-one margin over his main op ponent, Lennon, without count ing the votes of the other five candidates. The totals were 2- 119 for Scott and 760 for Len non in the five Chapel Hill pre cincts and Carrboro. About the same margin held true in the county. County Scott Manager Willi am S. Stewart said last night that he felt “the people of Or ange County responded to the clean type of campaign Mr. Scott conducted.” He said he thought the former governor would car ry the county, but had not pre- Chapel Hill Area To Take Part In Nation-Wide Alert June 14 Chapel Hill and the surrounding area will take part in a nation wide Civil Defense alert for 24 hours starting June 14. The alert will last from 10 a.m. June 14 until 10 o’clock the next morning. Chapel Hill’s part in the simulated attack, according to a rec ommendation by the Chapel Hill Civil Defense Advisory Council, will be manning its observation posts, planning for 500 to 1,000 evacuees who mi.ght be sent to tlie town in case of a real attack, and meeting of Civil Defense workers for organization and coordi nation of their tasks. At the Advisory Council’s meeting it was pointed out that allhou.gh North Carolina does not have a critical target area, any city of 40 to 50 thousand or more inhabitants might be a good target. ... The . council reported the mission of Chapel Hill is one of supporting others with first aid, rescue and fire-fighting squads, and by the care of large numbers of evacuees from critical target or disaster ai'eas. Persons who have volunteered to assist in the alei’t will be called upon to report to their section chiefs on the evening of June 14 for discussion of organization and plans. Mr. Johnston said he talked to Mr. Maddry night before last. From his observation at that time, he said, he felt Mr. Maddry would be “quite able physically to handle the duties of the office of sheriff.” Mr. Maddry was generally con ceded to be the leading contender in the four-way race when he suf fered a heart attack on May 10. He was treated in Watts Hospital for three weeks and came home last Sunday. He said last night that his physician, Di'. Isaac Manning, had told him he could resume his regu lar work within two or three months at the most. Clayton Carries Nine Mr. Clayton carried nine of the 19 precincts in the county—all of them areas north of Chapel Hill. Mr. Johnston and Mr. Maddry split the local precincts, Maddry cap turing four and Johnston two. Ovei the entire county Mr. Maddry wor in seven precincts and Mr. John ston in three. H.
