Carteret Cqnniy News-Times A Mrr|tr Of The Beaufort News (eat. 191!) * The Twin City Times (est. 1936) EDITORIAL PAGE FRIDAY, SEPT. 22, 1950 Garbage ? Everybody's Problem Again noble efforts are being made to improve Beaufort's ? garbage collect Ion. Ordinances have been passed, complaints have been aired, and town commissioners for years have sat with their hamls across their stomachs and blinked at the problem. Perhaps the Woman's club will be able to get effective results in their present campaign. But effective results would' have been obtainable long ago had the ordinances in relation to garbage collection been enforced. It is proposed now that if a home does not have the proper metal container with lid, the garbage will be left standing. If the garbage continues to stand and emits foul odors, the home owner should be cited to appear before the mayor in mayor's court. If the police force fails to issue citations or feels sorry for Mrs. So-and-So or the mayor doesn't want to be bothered with people who don't obey the garbage ordinance, the Woman's club is wasting its time. The town crew of Beaufort has two beat-up trucks with which to work. They arc in the garage almost as much as the> are out. The town crew gets up before daylight every day of the week every week of the year to begin their work. They work hours that would make a labor union boss tear his hair. They do a job that is not of the most pleasant type. When one thinks how badly the town needs a new and modern garbage truck, it makes the blood pressure rise to think how another town department is always weeping and wailing and gnashing teeth for a new this or a new that or "we need money for this or we have to have $200 for that.'' We'll wager that never in the history of the town has a gar bage collector coine before the town board and asked for a new gai'h.ige truck. They make out with what they have because they know there's no extra cash in the till. Others just ignore that fact. In connection with the trash problen. another big headache is the way certain business men on I ront street dispose of their garbage in the yellow town trash cans. Those cans are for paper cups and that type of trash only. IF the town crew works out a system for collections on which housewives can depend. IF' homeowners comply with the regula tions, and IF the law is KNFORCED when they don't, there will be no need to complain about garbage. We hope this will not end up like most projects of this type (for example, putting stray dogs in the pound) and merely peter out after a month or so. The Woman's club should keep the pro ject on fhe fire. 'Raleigh by JAMES H.POU BAILEY SPECULATION . . . Resignation of Defense Secretary Louis Johnson may clear the way for another North Carolinian to become a part of the Washington scene. I am referring, of course, to. one Jonathan Daniels, Democratic Na tional Committeeman for this State and a good friend of Truman. When Editor Daniels was given his pres ent post with the Democrats it .vas generally understood hereabouts that he would keep it only until he became Secretary of the Navy, the post his father held under Wood row Wilson. However, time dragged along, nothing happened, and the word in these parts was that President Tru man wanted Daniels to head the Navy but that Stephen Early, Roos evelt friend and Johnson assistant, said he would resign immediately if Daniels got the position. Now that Johnson and Early are no longer with the administration and now that Navy Secretary Mat thews has received his comeup pance at the hands of Secretary of State Dean Acheson and President Harry Truman, Jonathan Daniels may become Secretary of the Navy after all. ADVISORY COMMITTEE ... The State Democratic Executive Com mittee last week wrote letters to several party leaders throughout the State requesting them to serve on a special Advisory Committee for the fall campaign. Within a few days the names of members of this committee will be announced as follows: John Hall. Elizabeth City; John Rodman, Washington; James Clark, Eliza bethtown: Leon Brass field, Raleigh; Richard Thigpen, Charlotte; Floyd C rouse, Sparta; J. Hiden Ramsey, Asheville; Ed Whitaker, Bryson City; Ben Trot ter, Spray; John Harden, Greens boro; Harry Buchanan. Hcnderson ville; Carl Cline, Jiickory; Bob Proctor. Marion: Lee Weathers, Shelby; Charles Green, Louisburg; Jell Johnson, Clinton; Wade Bar ber. Si tor City; J. McRae Dalton, Winston Salem; John Home. Rocky Mount; and Edwin Pate, Laurin burg. ' ':J OVERHEAD . . . An interesting i book could be written on the ap pointment last week of Gov. Scott's two most bitter political oppon cnts to lush political positions with the Federal Government. When Governor Scott gave Rev enue Commissioner Edwin Gill. I*aurinburg native, his walking pa pers last year. Senator Hoey want ed him to be appointed Collector of Internal Revenue. "Over my dead body," or words to that ef fect, said Gov. Scott when ap proached on the proposition. So, Kdwin Gill went to Washington and became associated with Max Gard ner's old law firm there which is nc 'V operated by Fred Morrison. This firm and its North Carolina clients were, in the main, friendly to Frank Graham in his eiforts to remain in the IF. S. Senate. Thus Graham and Hoey were on GjH's side and when his name was pre sented again it received full ap proval. Scott had nothing to do with it and he is now skulking in his ient. Senator Hoey had the final say so on the appointment of the Col lector of Customs at Wilmington. The job went to Charles Johnson, who can now return to his Pender County haunts and if he wishes can live at Burgaw and commute to Wilmington. His first cousin, Robert Grady Johnson, whom Scott kicked off the State Utilities Com mission, has returned to Burgaw and last week formed a Raleigh Burgaw law partnership with Vaughan Winborne, son of the chairman of the State Utilities Commission, Stanley Winborne. Both appointments were com pletely over Kerr Scott's head. Gill's job will pay about $10,000; Johnson s around $6,500. As State Collector of Internal Revenue, Gill will send to the Federal Treasury approximately one billion dollars each year, $400,000,000 of this be ing yours and my Federal income taxes. CAMPAIGNS . . . The Democrats and Republicans are now about ready for their biennial go at each other. The OOP's will hold rallies in the areas of Catawba-Burke, Bur lington Asheboro. and Asheville. uith Secretary Clyde R. Greene of Boone, the man who gave Congress man Bob Doughton such a scare two years ago. calling the signals. Now, as for the Democrats, they are all cranked up and getting ready to shove off.

Since this is the first general announcement :>f these dates, you will probably ivant to check with local Democratic committeemen to see if they are! suitable: First District. Wednesday, Oct. 18; Second. Thursday, Oct. IS); Third, Friday. Oct. 20: Fourth. ; Tuesday, Oct. 24; Fifth, Wednes day. Oct. 25; Sixth, Thursday, Oct. 26. Two dates have been set for the Seventh District Democrats ? on Friday, October 13. or Tuesday, October 10. The Stale Committee provided these two dates for fear superstitious Democrats in that j area might be opposed to meeting I on Friday the 18th. The other dis tricts: Eighth, Thursday, Oct. 12; Ninth, Wednesday. Oct. 11; Tenth, Friday, Oct. (?; Eleventh, Thursday, Oct. 5; and Twelfth, Wednesday, Oct. 4. Gov. Kerr Scott has promised to try to attend every district rally. Others who will likely attend each one: Willis Smith. William B. Um stead, Democratic Chairman Ever ett Jordan, and Secretary Clifton Blue of Aberdeen. BEVO . . . That becr-for-the boys in-Korea wrangle which entertain ed Washington for two or three days last week brings to niind the faet that all county and city beer elections in North Carolina are off for the remainder of this year. We have moved into the CO-days-bef ore election period, the law holding that no wine or beer vote may be held within 60 days of another vote. The "wets" arc breathing long sighs of relief. While the "drys" have scored some notable victories, they are short of their goal of "51 by 51," or 51 dry counties by next year. Admitted aim of ttye dry forces was to show more than half the counties in favor of prohibi tion and to demand a Statewide referendum in 1951. You never can tell, but right now there seems to be about as much chance of that as a return to soapsudsy Bevo, the popular near beer prohibition drink of the mid dle twenties. However, those seek ing to move Sahara to North Car olina had their opponents on the ropes in 1948 and 1949, winning 18 counties in 1948 and 20 moro in 1949 without a single defeat. Yan cey and Mitchell were dry by legis lative act prior to 1948, thus mak ing 40 of North Carolina's 100 counties legally dry as we came to 1950. Five county elections have been held this year. The dry forces lost two of the counties: Richmond and Person. Of the three counties which the "drys" won. Anson County spilled over on August 26 when Wadesboro permitted the sale of beer and the other two ? Moore and Randolph ? arc being challeng ed by the legal control advocates in the Fall term of Supreme Court here. Thus we see that the dry leaders have done well until this year on the county-by-county campaign. Now with the Nation busily return ing to war footing with all its at tendant uncertainties, broken homes, expanding military camps. Raleigh Round-Up Appears Under New Authorship Beginning this week, ' Raleigh Rounil-up," the political column which has been running in THK NKWS-TI-MKS will be written by James 11. Pou Bailey of Raleigh, son of the late Josiah William Bai ley. who served in the II. S. Senate from HMO until his death in De cember 1946. Like his father, young Bailey is a writer and an attorney. He is 33 years old and is an alumnus of the University of North Carolina, lie is a former State Commander of AMVKTS and is the Democratic nominee from Wake county for the State Senate. From January, 194*2, until October, 1945, be was in the IJ. S. Army, serving 19 months in Kurope. Bailey entered the practice of law with his father in Raleigh in 194fi lie is active in the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Red Cross, county and State political affairs, fie is the brother of Josiah Bailey of Morehead City. * Petrography is the study of rocks, their composition, structure an:] classification. and further inflation, the trend j may be turning once again away* | from prohibition. NOTES . . . Westward shift of the ' State's population may result in J important changes in number of ' representatives from some of the counties and redisricting some of the State Senatorial Districts. This is another task facing the 1951 Leg islature. which is charged with this responsibility each ten years . . . Hob Thompson, radio critic of Gov. Ken' Scott who has been off the air for three weeks, will begin his Sunday night broadcasts again this weekend . . . Radio stations in Greensboro and Charlotte begin live television broadcasts on Sep tember 30 ... A move is begin ning in Kasteiti North Carolina to promote John or Bill Hodman of Washington, N. C., for Lieutenant Governor in 1952 . . . Frank Taylor of Goldsboro seems to have thte lead over Fred Rovster of Hender son for Speaker of the House in the ctfming Legislature. This is particularly true when you dis count the members who have pledged both men. Look for some more heads to roll in State depart ments here very soon now. Efforts are being made by 30 radio sta tions throughout the State to broad cast the first Big Four game of the year: WF Boston on Friday night, Sept. 22. Willis Smith is being queried every day now as to who will compose his staff in Wash ington. but if he knows he isn't saying. He will likely have a staff of five: three girls to attend to his mail, a secretary, and an adminis trative assistant. In Raleigh and Washington last week they were saying that Frank Graham may become head of the Red Cross, succeeding General Marshal. This may be so, but there is some definite feeling that Mar shall will not be kept for more than two or three months as De fense Secretary ? or until the elec tion*; are over in November and the Korean situation has been set tled.
