? BOB SCOTT. . When Bob
ftcott was campaigning for th?
nomination for
Lwnor in the fall of 1967 to
l.ao. a strong and solid speech
li Dunn calling for "law and
Lrder." The people of North
Carolina in great numbers
(pplauded his speech which
(ratably did more to win Mm
lictory than all his other
lp4e<. lies together.
I The liberal press of the state
lidta't like what the Haw River
Lndidate had to say.
|Last week from his office in
L ,<r>. capitol Governor
Icott issued a memorandum to
(residents of state wpported
lniversities and colleges
Instructing them on procedures

Memorandum was as strong
Ind as solid as his Dunn
fSome people will not like

by last week but moat people
tho believe in "law and order
Ind public education will again
Applaud what the Haw River
Can had to say.
| feob Scott's tax and
?pending program will not be
Eopular with many of those
Irho helped nominate and elect
him but his solid stand for the
(reservation of taw ana order
Irill do much to keep them
pom straying afar.
f GOP REVOLT. . Rowland
Evans and Robert Novak in
[heir Washington based column
| day last week told of a
private meeting of Republican
Stale Chairmen from the
Meten Southern states with
White House assistants. The
Columnists wrote that "there
Lai unanimous agreement that
President Nixon would not
larry a single Southern state if
the! 1968 election were held
today." The report also said
Ihat it was "agreed
Lnanimously that Nixon could
Cot win a majority of a single
fcoiithern delegation, out of
las} summer's national
Convention at Miami; Gov.
Ronald Reagan of California
Irafrld carry them all."
I 'We do not question the
bo* revolt report at all. With
LB election between Nixon,
Hniphrey and Wallace in the
fejdth today, we would doubt
K5 Nixon could carry a single
Lute. We feel that the states
Eoday would likely go to
Wallace and not to Humphrey.
However, with Wallace carrying
the Nixon states in the South
Eefther of the candidates
L^nld have a majority of the
electoral votes and Congress
would have to determine the
* '.IB ELKS. . Heretofore Irwin
B?k has been the public
servant in the Belk family
headquartered in Charlotte.
Ir^in served in the State
H<pise, the State Senate and
[was on the verge of running for
lieutenant governor last yaw,
but didn't. Lm* week Ike's
brother, John M. Balk, who
beads Um BeU Department
?tore empire plunged into the
mayor'* nee In Charlotte. City
Councilman Gibson Smith has
already annbuncad his
cahdidacy for mayor and CUy
Counciknan Jim Whittington is
expected to enter the nee.
Should John win the mayor's
office in Charlotte he might
then begin to look towards the
governor's mansion in Raleigh,
which some feel that Ike has
had an eye on.
INTANGIBLES TAX. :
Rep. Jack Baugh of
Mecklenburg has announced
that he intends to seek repeal
of the state's intangible tax
levies but we doubt that it will
make much headway.
We recall that several years
ago when an effort was made
to repeal the Intangibles tax
that a delegation from the
municipalities came to Raleigh
to oppose the repeal and that
Joe TaDey, then mayor of
Fayetteville tagged it the
"millionaries' tax reduction
bill" and the effort to repeal
the tax died in committee.
History will probably repeat
itself when Baugh introduces
his bill.
AVERAGE MAN. .
.Reports are that President
Nixon wants to talk with
"average" people durg his visit
to Europe. Can you imagine
President Nixon stopping off at
service stations and stores and
talking with the "average"
people and getting their
down-to-earth thinking about
the world problems. Hubert
Humphrey or George Wallace
might be able to at this time
but hardly the President of the
United States who is swarmed
by crowds wherever he goes
and whenever he stops!
ELECTORAL CHANGE. .
.President Nixon has proposed
a change in the electoral
system of electing our
presidents which is an
improvement over the system
under which we now operate.
Main feature in the Nixon
proposal is that it would
eliminate the possibility of the
election being decided by
Congress and that it would
discourage third-party
candidates bom seeking the
presidency- which is good in
the eyes of some and poor in
the eyes of others.

Anyone who has ever served
in the Army will be delighted
with this piece of news. The
Army is working towards
lightening the load of the
soldier by decreasing the
weight of 21 items of clothing
and equipment. Emphasis is
being placed on developing
clothing and equipment that
will permit maximum combat
efficiency and still provide a
high degree of protection
against battlefield hazards and
the natural environment.
Among equipment the Amry
hopes to "melt off" weight are
the poncho, helmet,
entrenching tool and combat
footwear.
The Commander's
A Woman
There is one all-male unit in
Vietnam that is commanded by
a woman. It is the 305th
Medical Detachment, an Army
Reserve Unit called up and sent
to Vietnam. In command of
this outfit is Colonel Anna
Brady, a prominent
Philadelphia orthopedic
surgeon. She is currently on
leave of absence as head of the
orthopedic section of the
Frankford Hospital in
Philadelphia and the faculty of
the Women's Medical College.
According to unit members,
they do not refer to Colonel
Brady as the "old man" an
affectionate Army term for the
commander. "We just call her
"mom" one enlisted man said.
Instant Citizenship
A new law makes it possible
for most aliens in the Armed
Forces to become eligible
immediately to apply for
American citizenship. The new
law waives all waiting
requirements and could save a
kit iceman a wait of up to five
years. To be eligible, a person
must enlist in the United States
or in a U.S. territory. If anyone
wants additional information,
he can contact us at (office
address) or call us at
(telephone number).

The Army's Scientific
Whoever said that the Army
isn't involved in modern
science? Here are two items
about some of our activities.
The Army's nuclear power
plant barge "Sturgis" is on
station in Gatun Lake, Canal
Zone supplying 10,000 KW of
power to the United States
element stationed there.
The world's largest
balloon-587 feet tail-was
launched by the Army over
New Mexico carrying a 65
pound scientific payload to
measure atmospheric
conditions. While up in the
sky, it also set a new altitude
record ' for free floating
balloons, 158,000 feet.
