Carteret County Mtws-Tbns A Mirier Of HM Betoforl Mem (Ml. l?ll) A The Twin CBy TIibm (ML 1?M) EDITORIAL PACE * FRIDAY, AUCUST 19, 1949 it's i Long, lard Pall Congressman Barden and his federal aid-to-education bill ttt having a rough time. Both Ha originator and the bill have beeh through the mill but not the national legislative mill (the HoU st and Senate) as the congressman and many of us would like. Just within the past week Representative John Lesinski, chairman of the committee on education and labor, dug a aether pitfall for Barden'a HR 4043. Lesinski came up with the un precedented notion of having "an informal round-table discussion on Federal aid to education" to begin at 10 o'clock this coming -Monday morning at Washington. Mr. Barden has been invited. Mr. Baidon has told Chairman Lesinski that he can go jump in the Tidal Basin. Oof Congressman's wrath', and the anger of others who are pressing for an answer in the nation's school crisis, has been roused repeatedly ever since the House bill was attacked by Francis Cardinal Spellman. The widow of one of America's greatest pre sidents, Eleanor Roosevelt, was subjected to blasts from the Cstholic prelate, the Cardinal declaring that her approval of Congressman Barden'a bill branded her a disgrace as an American mpther Mrs. Roosevelt charmingly replied that she believed it was God's place to pass judgment of that nature and not the church official's. Mr. Barden has not literally told Chairman Lesinski to dis turb the peaceful waters of Washington's famous reflecting pool, but in a reply to the chairman's invitation, our congressman pointed out that ail of the persons whom Lesinski has invited to participate in Monday's discussion have already appeared before the education sub-committee of which Mr. Barden is chairman. There they gave extensive testimony from which bill 4643 was drafted. Lesinski has since refrained from calling a meeting of the full education and labor committee, thus making It impossible tor the bill to get to the floor of the house. Now he comes up with another stall, the roundtable discussion. It may be that Lesrnski isn't quite sure what's going on, so he's calling together persons whom he believes will be able to tell him. In pointing out to Ihe chairman that he has neglected to call a meeting of the full education and labor committee, Congressman Barden says, "The full Education and Labor Committee, of which you are chairman, has had no occasion to discuss these (sub-committee) hearings. So far as I am informed, everyone who is familiar with them is satisfied that the field was well covered. Those who are not familiar with the hearings should read them or call an of ficial meeting of the committee for the purpose of discussing them before any such action Is taken as is indicated in your letter to iiy;." Mr. Barden further informed Chairman Lesinski that he would be glad to attend such a meeting of the full committee, but stated, "If your objective- is to kaU, aew^hearinga, then the normal procedure would be fer^rotrto ?11 upon all the Interested officials of the Federal Security Agemp again aa well a> re presentatives of 295 denominational groups in the country, aa well as various organizations interested in education, besides the NEA. Other labor organizations and not merely the C. I. 0. and A. F. of L. should be duly notified. Mr. Chairman, I do not regard the holding of further hearings or a round-table dia cussion as either necessary, wise, or In the interests of good legis lation. Frankness compels me to say to you that in my honest opinion any such action would be in the direction of further delay and inaction. I prefer the direet road to legislative accomplish ment. At the preseot moment I think that you have come up with an impractical auggestion which would result in a waste of time. Unless something comes to my attention that would change any views, I do not intend to participate in your proposed 'informal , round-table diacussion'." Our own Congressman "Hap" Barden can be heard tonight at the Morehead City high school as he delivers the commence ment address to the graduating class of Moreheead City Tech nical institute. i J?*" ??

Rey nolds of Asheville were casting covetous eyes on the U. S. Senate ?eat sanely occupied by graying, freck-ceated Clyde X. Hoey of Shelby, the man who is regarded ki Washington as the typical old time Southern statesman. The mere mention of Reynolds' opposing Hoey drew laughter here in Raleigh, but many political ob servers hart been giving Uchea don at least a 50-50 chance and perhaps even better than that. This was the case until the "live percenters" began theit march acroa* the headline*. And there, looking comfortable in tlM background, stood Senator Hoey Nobtody knew he could loak M hawklike.

Although he will be 72 on December 11, he is atill hale and hearty, can still talk like a 'phonograph re cord and cast a wistful "eye at the ladies. NOTES . . . One of Gov.

Henry ?. Kendall, now safely es conced as chairman of the Em ployment Security Commission, will observe a quiet 44th birthday Aumist 24 . . . The Governor's office expenses ? (salaries, .etc.) are now tunning just exactly- twice, as much as in December, Gov. I Cherry's last month as executive. . . .. Charlie Parker, whom you 1 have been reading a great deal about lately, will take over Bill Sharpe's job with the State News Bureau very soon now ... He had a party for the newspaper folks at his home Friday evening from 8 o'clock until . . . t>ut swears it was arranged even be fore he and the Governor and George Ross and Josh Home start ed blasting . . . Two co^op leaders, M. G. Mann and John Marshall, have received important appoint ments from the Governor recent ly, the latter to be his private secretary . . . Not only do they have ability, but ? more import ant probably ? they rendered yeo man service to Scott in his race for Governor . . ? The disappearance of large num bers of cattle at the State Prison form at Caledonia during the past two or three years miy be the next item to hit the papers . . ,| How many were drowned or swept away in Roanoke River floods and how many were not? That is the auestion ? though it may be hUsh-nushed . . . Also, there is a rumor here that priso* ners are being allowed to escape in an effort to make the Scott ad ministration look bad . . . I PURGE? . . . Despite the fact that Gov. Scott, with a subsequent helping hand from the people, came out very well with hi* legis lative program, he knows that h? we* ridden hard and put up wet in a number of instances. Hia attack last week on -the lawyer member* of the General Assembly increased the (feeling her* that he may attampt a purge of lome of the senator* and rapresentativea next spring. Speaking to repreaentatives at tending the State Federation of Labor meeting ia Charlotte, Gov. Soott said : "Lawyer* can mess up a program when they try to de it. Tint wa * ahown in tha last Legislature. Soma of them were head* of committee* and what a mess!" It 1* recogniied here that the attorney* in the Lagialature, be ing politically gifted and trained ? and knowing tha legal vernacular (and In Rklelgh t* make law* or to chang* laws With which they are familiar), pretty wall run thiaga. However, Gov. Scott should not ' have laid dawn a blanket indict ment of chairmen of coaamitteea > who war* lawyer*, for he made , two of them judge* and gave another an fit, 000 job aa the Stat* Industrial Coa*mia*len. Off THE CUT* . . . At the tin* Qov. Scott announced that Ayer A biBett'a advertising contract with North Carolina would be . terminate* la 10 day*, the man he wanted to have the job did not have a North Carolina ad vertislng agency. Now, Bob Red wine has attended to this, form ing the Eastman - Red wine Adver tising Agency, with money from Atlanta and support from the fCastman -Scott firm which used to have the N. 0. account . . . Now the whole thing is going to be left wide open again and given to some agency. It must be approved by this board and that commission and the Division of Purchase and Contract, etc j Most people here think all of this . technical double-talk is nothing* but a lot of hogwash and that Eastman-Redwine will be given the State's $200,00-per-year ad vertising business. Advertising agencies receive 15 per cent of the advertising they place, wheth er it be for Lucky Striks, Camels, Hanes Underwear, or what have you. This will mean that East man Redwttie will make $30,000 annually ? if they get the con tract ? with Redwine receiving as his take about $20,000 . . . the best salary at Scott's disposal . . . . . . The whole trouble began ?bout two years ago wlwn l. Y. (Stag) Ballentine, now Commis sioner of Agriculture, was shin ning to run for Governor against Charlie Johnson. ' At that time, Redwine was representing^ E*st man -Scott here in Raleigh on the N. C. account. Being a pfteat pussyfooter, slider, and caterer, he had played up to Ballentine, cultivated him, and had become Close friends with him. Johnson saw that Redwine, here in Ra leigh to look After his advertis ing business and not to play poli tics, was against him and for Bal lentine. Right here the N. C. ad-, vertising account bfecame a polit ical football. The majority of the men on tne Dept. of Conser vation and Development, which places the contract, happened to be Johnson men. Anyway, East man Scott lost the account and a North Carolina firm, Ayer ft Gil lett, got it. They have dona a good job with it and have nol played politics, have steadfastly refused to and since last April they say, have tried several timer to get an appointment with Gov Scott to explain their position . . . Not only have they been unable to Ma him, but' tiftv* hot received a reply to a tatter they wroW the Governor, according to their statement ... . . , . After Eastman-Scott lost the contract, Redwlne did net have much to da. He had been offered a position with Ayer A Gillett when the contract was hanging in the balance, but had remained loyal to hie firm, pre ferring to go dovn with them if that was the way it was going to be. Not being too busy, be atart ed backing political candidates rich and left: BaHentine, Brough ton, and Scott, of course, since he could not support Chartes John son. They all wen. Then Bob sat back and looked the situation ?ver, his pink mustache jumping like a rabbit's whiskers on a fros ty November morning . V . ... He did some public relatione work for Southern Bell and teeeW ed $1,000 when, la and behold, the Bell system's one mlHioath tele phone was installed in North Car ?lina ... in Alamance Counsy! . . . and he got both Broughton and Scott to participate in the ceremonies.
