The Battle Is For Men's Minds!
Tomorrow, Friday, Feb. 20, Christians in
114 nations will observe World Day of
Prayer.
To understand what this means let. us con
sider two lives, two forces—but each with
a vastly different objective.
More than 2000 years ago one of these
brought a message which said in part: “Love
the Lord thy God with all thy heart and
thy neighbor as thyself ... the individual is
sacred . . . truth is all powerful . . . man is
immortal.” That was the message of Christ.
Now consider the other message, brought
by Karl Marx: “Conquest through hate and
violence . . . the individual is of no account
. . . religion is for fools . . . man comes from
nowhere and death is the end."
How different are those two philosophies?
We must face it. The fight today is not
so much of military forces but there is a
world-wide struggle to capture the minds
of men, a death struggle between Christian
ity and communism, between all religion and
that evil force which would erase freedom
and worship of the Supreme Power from
the face of the earth.
It is fitting then that Christians of the
world should unite on this day to rededicate
themselves to the principles of the One who
was the greatest Teacher.
Tomorrow Christians, as individuals, will
witness to their belief that prayer is a world
power for good. As a group they are unit
ing to strengthen this power for good in
the world. They will also make an offering
for Christian missions.
Leaders believe that support of mission
ary work is crucial to the sustence and
growth of Christian principles in the world
today.
With empires toppling, with races and
peoples caught in the ferment of a revolu
ionary dynamism of unprecedented power,
with slogans of dictators and demagogues
filling the ether waves, Christians of the
West should be ready and willing to invest
to give spiritual direction to those forces
that are shaping the destiny of this and
future generations.

KIDD BREWER'S
BROAD POWERS—Two bills
introduced in the General Assem
bly last week indicate Gov. Bill
Umstead’s popularity with the
legislators.
One of them gives the new Gov
ernor free rein to revamp the De
partment of Conservation and De
velopment board. This could lead
to major changes in the overall
operation of this particular de
partment. Some say it will; oth
ers say it won’t. But remember
this: You will read and hear a
great deal more about the con
troversy before the case is finally
thrashed out sometime during the
summer.
The other measure delegating
to Gov. Umstead broad authority
is related to the State Highway
Department. Of the two bills, this
latter probably carries more punch
than the one concerned with C&D.
If adopted as it now stands, the
Governor cannot only set up 16 di
visions but can make other changes
which might ultimately prove more
important. The highway bill per
mits the Governor to name a five
member commission or board to
study reorganization . . . and this
board acts with the approval and
advice of the Governor.
THIS WEEK—And so, this week
garnishment, a possible bonus-for
veterans bill, and an attempt to
reduce your state income tax next
year, will be the big news on the
Raleigh legislative front.
Some of these bills may have
rough sailing indeed.
UhJNECESSARY—I appreciate
deeply the letters and telephone
calls I have received from you
readers since I began writing the
column. Your encouragement has
meant a great deal to me; and
caused by some of the things I
have called to your attention.
The information you have furn
ished will be checked and em
ployed toward better and more
economical government.
You will be interested to know
that it now appears it may be pos
sible to make the necessary inves
tigation and changes needed in the
highway department without the
passage of any special legislation
directed to that end.
END OF MUD-GRIPPERS?—
Former Gov. W. Kerr Scott has
been criticized by many people for
many different things. One I
heard last week takes the cake.
He was blamed for something; and
the criticism amounted to a back
handed compliment.
Ran into old Freddie Crawford,
one time all-American football end
at Duke and teammate of mine in
the middle 30’s.
Freddie, a native of Waynes
ville, now makes his home in Dur
ham and is employed by one of the
well known automobile tire manu
facturers.
I inquired as to the condition of
his business, and so on.
“All right,” said Freddie, “with
the exception of the sale of our
mud grip tires. The sale of this
item has continued to drop off in
North Carolina during the last few
yeaTs until now there is just no
demand.”
When pushed as to reasons for
the sales decline, Freddie Craw
ford turned where he stood and
looked hard in the direction of
Haw River. “That man—that
man Kerr Scott is to blame,” said
Freddie, “for paving all those
country roads.”
Now, friends, I have heard ev
erything.
JEFFERSON-JACKSON—While
Dear Alben Barkley pulls down
$2,600 per week telling stories via
TV and the head man from 1945
to 1952 plans his library in Inde
pendence, Mo., Sen. Richard Rus
sell of Georgia continues his fight
for the Democratic party. He was
here about a year ago for the an
nual meeting of the N. C. Citizens
Association. On Saturday night,
February 28, Sen. Russell will re
turn again to Raleigh as principal
speaker at the Jefferson-Jackson
Day Dinner.
You may be sure that this will
be one of the best Democratic par
ties in the south this year. State
Senator John Larkins will be in
charge of arrangements.
Consult your county Democratic
chairman now for tickets—$50
each. Attendance of 650 is ex
pected.
THE BARN—As may have been
mentioned here before, we live in a
barn.
We have converted part of it—
mainly the grain room—into living
quarters. The hayloft and some
of the rest of the barn are just as
they were when the thing was
originally built.
Our barn on a bluff overlooking
Crabtree Creek and the Raleigh
Durham highway has much to of
fer in the way of play space for
the children and their pets.
The children, dogs, cats, chick
ens, ducks, cattle and horses, live
in rather close but harmonious
proximity. I bring this barn busi
ness up right at this time because
a few days ago an interesting inci
dent arose.
It seems that our 10-year-old
daughter, Linney, entered her
classroom in school and failed to
close the door.
A member of the class wise
cracked as follows: “Close the
door. Were you raised in a barn?”
Linney looked him straight in
the eye and replied simply, but
positively, “Yes!”
As we hear it, there was a long
moment of painful silence in the
room until the full impact of the
great statement of fact had time
to register. Then everyone roared
with laughter.
We are proud to report that
Linney laughed as loudly as any
one.
LOST TOOTH—First time I saw
Freddie Crawford was the summer
before he entered Duke as a fresh
man. He was standing on top of
one of the dormitories stripped to
the waist wielding a paint brush.
With the summer sky for a back
ground, this made a striking pic
ture. During the next four years
many a great end run and fleet
back collapsed under Crawford.
Rough, rugged, and fast, he seem
ed immune to pain.
For instance, during his sopho
more year he came into the train
er’s room with a bad infection on
one of his hands. “Doc, what is
this on my hand that looks like
the toe itch, but don’t feel as
good?” asked Crawford.
He went on to become this
State’s first All-American. When
his football was over at Duke, I
asked him to come and coach with
me at Appalachian. He said he
would like to, but wanted to try
his hand at the pro game. He re
ported to the Bears’ summer camp.
My next view of Freddie was in
a theatre. He was in a movie with
Shirley Temple.
The most typical incident re
garding Freddie happened during
one of our hotly contested games.
He picked up a tooth on the way
back to the huddle. “Any of you
fellows lose a tooth?” he asked.
None of them had.
“Game must be getting rough.”
said Freddie as he threw the tooth
back over his shoulder.
Crawford wasn’t in the huddle
after the next play. He was down
on his hands and knees starching
in the grass. His teammates went
over to join him.
He asked, “Did you see where
I tossed that tooth?”
“Why, have you found out whose
it is?” someone asked.
Freddie then looked up with a
sheepish smile on his face.
He had.
Washington.—My activities las
week included a very interestinf
visit to Raleigh where I spoke be
fore the annual meeting of th*
Raleigh Academy of Medicine, an<
later visited the General Assem
biy.
Everyone was most gracious ti
me. At the Academy of Medicin*
meeting I enjoyed seeing maiiy o
the doctors who have been m;
friends for a long time. I als<
had an opportunity to get ac
quainted with several others I hai
not met before.
I find that these medical mei
are taking more interest in pub
lie questions and the formulatioi
of public policies which mean si
much in the administration of ou
government.
FIRST, THE SENATE
The next day, when 1 visitei
the legislature, I first visited th
Senate. I was extended the priv
ileges of the floor and was re
quested to address the Senators
This gave me an opportunity t'
congratulate them upon the gooi
reports I had been hearing abou
the progress being made in th
work in that chamber.
Occasionally, well-meaning citi
zens are unduly critical of legisla
tors without understanding the du
processes of law that must be ob
served if we are to have a gov
eminent that will properly serv
our people. Sometimes there ar
delays while proposed legislatioi
is being studied carefully. It i
far better, of course, to pass onl;
those laws which have been con
sidered carefully than to enact leg
islation hurriedly on the spur o
the moment before the result
have been thought out.
THEN, THE HOUSE
Then, I went across to the Hous
of Representatives and was invit
ed to address that group. I fel
at home in the House chambe
since it was there that I began m
legislative career. Somehow i
didn't seem so long since 1931, th
year I was Speaker of the House
Quite a few of my old friend
are in the present General Assem
bly. I was, of course, delighte
to see them and greatly appreeiat
ed the cordiality extended me.
It seemed to me that the me
constituting both the House am
Senate were serious-minded, an
intent upon doing the very bes
possible job for our state, its pec
pie and its various institution:
Naturally there are differences o
opinion among them — as ther
should be in a democracy. Nort
Carolina can well be proud of it

My visit was most pleasant and
regretted - that I had to catch

having a chance to see and tal
with many of my old friends.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Rep. Roy A. Taylor
House of Representatives
Raleigh, North Carolina.
Dear Sir:
A news item appearing in the
Asheville Citizen on February 2,
1953, gave rather prominent head
ing to an account of “the inalter
able opposition to the Veterans
Bonus Plan,” as presented by the
“Citizens Committee”; otherwise
known as the Citizens for Eisen
hower. Previous to reading this
item I entertained considerable
doubt as to whether the veterans
of North Carolina should be grant
ed the bonus. They have already
enjoyed the best housing, food
and pay in military history and
coupled with the “G. I. Bill” and
readjustment pay it would logical
ly seem that they should be con
tent.
There is, however, another point
of view. The conservative ele
ment, led by the political zombie,
Mr. Taft of Ohio, and the “Citizens
Committee” have a unity of pur
pose; to keep the masses of Amer
ica, as fully as possible, in a state
of supression. It follows, then,
that the veterans bonus would ben
efit the people of North Carolina.
In the support of that statement,
I offer as evidence, the fact that
this same undemocratic minority
opposed the Social Security pro
gram, the wage and hour law’, the
Wagner Labor Law, and the com
plete mass of legislation dedicat
ed to cementing our democratic
aims. They also developed a mul

ti-million dollar propaganda ma
chine, Mr. Taft as “big brother,
Mr. McCarthy mahing mud pie;
and the little barker, Fulton Lew
is, throwing them. Proof of thei
insincerity is that they stooped t
character asassination in the at
tempt to regain class rule.
Often their propaganda is hid
ing behind an innocent, nieve, am
contrite phrase, such as, “all mei
were created free.’ Freedom i
bought with blood and maintained
with vigilance. They say free en
terprise and mean economic an
archy. I hate writh equal bitter
ness both the communist “dicta
torship of the proletariat” and th
Taftest, old guard, dictatorship o
the class. With their “Citizen
Committee” politroros all over th
nation. This clique called Presi
dent Eisenhower “pea-brain” un
til the Dewey victory at the Re
publican convention. After “Ike
was nominated they threw thei
support to him in the conceit tha
he was a natural front for Mr
Taft and after the election inter
preted the outcome as a persona
victory. The people actually hon
ored a great leader. Fulton Lew
is stated that Mr. Taft had told—
President Eisenhower—whom t<
appoint—as Secretary of Labo
and had been insulted by the Pres
idents making his own choice.
This issue is not one of part;
lines, nor is it simply a questioi
of a veterans bonus. This is om
of the common minority vs. ma
jority conflicts and there are man;
moral concepts involved.
At the end of World War I
many young men and women fron
the lower income brackets weri
given higher education througl
the “G. I.” bill, our standard o
living was improved, and ou:
dream of social equality was ma
turing. After the first two years
certain sections of this state hat
local recessions and these younj
veterans suffered, for it is no
easy to span the loss of years, evei
with Federal aid. These younj
men owe for homes, unfinishec
college courses, and scores of re
adjustment debts. This flow oi
money would also bolster the fail
ing economy of some of our weal
spots in the state.
If it means more state tax, let’s
proceed! How many schools coulc
I build, how many roads could ]
pave, and how many teacher;
could I pay with the tax I have
contributed ? It is a good bargain
I’ve gotten my money’s worth!
Are we going to class ourselves
with the two or three backward
states which have not yet paid a
state veterans bonus? This I dc
not know, there are two points
of view, but these do not include
minority rule. We have created a
government “of the people, by the
people, and for the people.” We
must not be dictated to by conser
vative and reactionary pressure
various departments of the na
tional government. The process
was not without its confusion.
When the bill was first consid
ered in the House, I understand
that President Eisenhower had
stated that he would be satisfied
with a proposal permitting a sim
ple majority in either the House
or the Senate to veto any reor
ganization plan sent down by the
President. Hut then some of the
President’s appointees got busy.
They suggested that Mr. Eisen
hower ought to have the same au
thority that President Truman
had had. This brought on a dis
cussion—and then an argument.
Reorganization plans, as you
know, have been advanced by the
Hoover Commission — some of
them good and some of them not
so good. The main question, as I
see it, involves how far the legis
lative branch of our government
should go in surrendering its func
tions and in turning them over to
the President.
I felt that Mr. Eisenhowers
original viewpoint was quite cor
rect As someone said, if any plan
he submits isn't good enough to be
approved by a simple majority of
those voting in the House or Sen
ate. then probably it should not
be forced upon the people.
I felt that the due processes of
law, as provided for in the Con
stitution should be adhered to as
far as possible, and I voted for an
amendment which would have pro
vided that a simple majority could
veto a reorganization plan. That
amendment failed, but the bill it
self passed (by a voice vote) giv
ing President Eisenhower the same
authority that President Truman

gone to school and the other little
one was at home.
Because of the kindness of
friends here working through the

with enough furniture, heat, fuel,
food and clothing to be comfort
able. Especially do we want to
thank the people in Montreat. Our

Weekly Summary
Of Work Of Stale
Legislature
NOTE: This is the fourth of a
series of weekly summaries of the
work of the North Carolina Gen
eral Assembly of 1053. It is con
fined to discussions of matters of
general interest and major import
ance.
Public legislation of major im
portance began coming in faster
and the rate of bill introductions
began to pick up as the General
Assembly finished its fifth week.
Public hearings outside of appro
priations hearings have begun to
attract state-wide attention; bills
of general interest are making
their way to the floor of both
houses daily, and they are being
dispatched with desultory debate;
bills ratified into law include some
legislation of importance. The
Governor’s legislative program is
moving along with apparent sup
port from both houses and will
probably move faster following his
return to Raleigh. Occasional ref
erences to controversial legislation
not yet introduced and the fact
that the appropriations and fi
nance committees are still doing
spadework serve as reminders that
much work remains to be done.
Appropriations and Finance
Attention this week has shifted
to the state’s revenue laws, part
ly because of the disturbing im
plications of appropriations re
quests which now exceed the Ad
visory Budget Commission’s re
pnmmonHqfinnc; Kv nvpr $50 mil
lion. A joint finance sub-commit
tee was assigned the task of ex
amining the state’s reportedly
complicated corporate tax struc
ture with an eye to making it
more attractive to industry; a sec
ond sub-committee was assigned
the job of “modernizing” the li
cense tax schedules (set in 1931)
in the light of two decades of eco
nomic change. Despite Rep. Wink
ler’s proposal, made on Monday,
which would impose a 1 cent tax
on retail sales of soft drinks and
bring in an estimated $1% million
annually, little legislative support
for additional taxes is evident.
Appearances by the consolidated
University of North Carolina and
the Hospitals Board of Control
highlighted the appropriations
committee hearings this week. Two
more weeks of hearings remain.
University officials asked for over
$5 million, divided between operat
ing funds and permanent improve
ments, and suggested that if uni
versity needs were also incorporat
ed in a bond issue, they would re
quest about $6 million. The Hos
pital Board of Control requested
in addition $5.3 million for opera
tions and fixed $25 million as nec
essary for permanent improve
ments. No decision on appropria
tions, revenues, and bond issues
is expected until Governor Um
stead has delivered his budget
message.
Meanwhile nibbles are being
made at state funds by bills seek
ing $35,000 for the employment
of six school music supervisors,
and $10,000 for research on hay
rot.
Reorganization.
Administration reorganization
bills in various stages of legisla
tive processing met little opposi
tion during the week. One bill
(SB 64), aimed at a reorganiza
tion of the Department of Con
servation and Development by em
powering the Governor to appoint
an entirely new 15-member board
on July 1, 1953, received rapid
approval from the Senate C&D
committee and passed the Senate
on Friday without a dissenting
vote. Displaying an impressive
array of sponsors’ signatures on
their jackets but accompanied by
rumors of some opposition, identi
cal bills were introduced in the
House and Senate on Thursday to
permit a five-member committee
appointed by the Governor to in
crease the number of highway di
visions from 10 to 15 and change
the boundaries of existing divis
ions if the Governor determines
such changes to be in the public
interest. Suggested by Governor
Umstead’s inaugural message, the
last public bill introduced this
week in the House (HR 205) pro
vides for a nine-member commis
sion to be appointed by the Gov
ernor to study and make recom
mendations to the Governor by
Nov. 15, 1954, as to the necessity
and advisability ci a reorganiza
tion of the sUte government in the
interest of more efficient and eco
nomical administration. HB 36,
which creates a three-man paroles
board, was ratified cm Tuesday.
Courts
Governor Umstead, in his in
augural address, urged more su
perior court judges but no addi
tional judicial districts, in order
to reduce the work load of the
week Rap. Whitmire
introduced HB 163, proposed by
the Judicial Council, which would
add an additional resident judge
in the 4th, 3th, 10th. 12th, 14th,
and 19th districts and provide for
their assignment and rotation. The
new judges would be appointed >>
the Governor this year to serve
until their successors are elected
in the 1954 general elections.
While it is hoped that the new
resident judges will reduce t e
need for as many as eight special
judges, HB 175 would give the
Governor what has become stand
ard authority to appoint as many
as eight for two-year terms.
Hoads and Highway Safety
Law enforcement officers seek
ing to curb speeders on the high
ways opposed “hotrod enthusiasts
at the public hearing on HR 90
held on Thursday before the House
Judiciary 2 committee. Suggested
by Governor Umstead in his in
augural message, the bill would
prohibit operation on the highways
of any motor vehicle which has
been altered so as to increase its
speed. The committee deferred
action on the proposal following a
lively debate. The Senate bill de
signed to impose a mandatory
prison sentence on drunken driv
ers for second and subsequent of
fenses received committee approv
al in the form of a substitute bill
this week. The committee substi
tute would change the penalty or
iginally proposed for a second of
fense from imprisonment for from
60 days to 6 months to imprison
ment in discretion of the court, and
for third or subsequent offenses
from imprisonment for from 6
months to 2 years to imprisonment
for from 60 days to 2 years. The
substitute bill is on the Senate
calendar for Monday.
