Dr. Lake’s stn hents at Wake Forest Law schoo lopanied him as being just j shade left of center. likIdenviKiC0,rpoi;ations have his 1)'; Lake for some litth while, lie is the one official f0 instance wh0 has given Southert IhII such a hard time in its peals for higher rates meet costs. ever-increasing ap to hel; operatini Lake — Followers o' Kerr Scott for five year looked upon Dr. Beverly Lake a: the fair-haired boy in'the lega ranks of the state. They wantei him to be named attorney genera to succeed the late Harry McMul lan. When Gov. Luther Hodge: three weeks ago appointed W. B Rodman to this position, the Scot camp was up in arms. Some o' them even went so far as t< claim that the governor only ap pointed Scott men to positions o: relatively unimportant influence. When the chips were down, the; laid in effect, Luther Hodges ap pointed a conservative instead o: i bright-and-shining Lake. Advice — The most liberal brail n state officialdom and the mat vho had so ably presented Nortl Carolina’s case for segregatior >efore the U. S. Supreme Cour ast spring advised — in a speed o the Asheboro Lions — ever; (immunity in the state to charte ion-stock, non-profit, charitabh orporations to operate thei chool systems so that they migh ie prepared in the event Nortl Carolina is forced to have Negr hildren in the same classroom vith whites. Dr. Lake went on to say tha he “National Association for th Advancement of Colored Peopl s our enemy, not the Negr ieopIe”. Why? — When the Lake ac Iress of Tuesday night, July 11 /as reported in the newspaper here was shocked silence on th art of Dr. Lake’s liberal friend It first, they just could not hi leve it. Then, when the asistant attorne f-'eniM-a] didn’t say anything about l'1>ing been misquoted, tongues t,Ran "“urging, sure enough. If the editorials and radio comment about the statement were laid end -end, they would reach from lore to that door yonder and i ’ „V,ve^bot|y began asking why. Why? What’s Your Line? — We have e\eloped thought lines in this | country. If you are a real, honest to-goodness, all-fired liberal, for > example, you are supposed to be all-out for TVA, you favor gov ernment competition with private business, you are for integration . ot the white and colored races, ■ etc, etc. i If you are a conservative, you are for states’ rights, for lower taxes, for less government spend ing, for a balanced budget, and tor less government competion with private business, etc. Now if you are in the conservative thought line and don’t think the "ay the self-chosen bosses of the group want you to, if you don’t follow the complete line, then something is wrong, you are an immediate outcast. 1 he same thing is true in the other line—the liberal line. Now here comes one Dr. Beverly Lake and violates the line and throws everybody into a tizzy. Because he has been opposed to utilities’ charging higher rates for their product, he is supposed to be ■ against big business and because he is against big business, he is | supposed to be in favor of white . and colored children going to school together. Got it? There is no connection between the two — It doesn’t add up. But that is the type of thinking we have allowed ourselves to drift , into—or to be dragged into—with . in recent years. We are inclined to think not as individuals any more, but to indulge in group thinking. Since Dr. Lake apparently thought and . talked as an individual, he is be ■ ing charged with being a candi date for governor, with indulging in sour grapes because he wasn’t , appointed attorney general, and with being an out-and out- Dixie crat. Take Steps — Almost everybody ; agrees that Dr. Lake probably ; should have consulted his super iors before making such inflama [ tory statements in these racially I hypersensitive days. Now the National Association ; for the Advancement of Colored People has requested Governor Hodges to get rid of Dr. Beverly • Lake as assistant attorney gen , eral. This organization doesn’t seem to care particularly how the ■ governor does it, but asks him to “take whatever steps are neces sary to remove” the assistant at torney general who talked so ugly ■ about them. This firm request came last Saturday a few hours after the governor had left for a vacation. The interesting question now- is: will Luther Hodges follow NAACP and kick out Beverly Lake, the man he thinks has done such a good job in presenting the state’s case on segregation before the court ? Questions like that can interfere seriously with one’s va cation and really make miserable these humid hours of Dog Days. , Lightweight — There is a grow , ing feeling that the Democrats might keep control of the congress t in the next election. You can also e find considered opinion to the e effect that Adlai Stevenson will 0 be the Democratic nominee for the presidency, and will defeat President Eisenhower. If the Democrats get in, Harold ' D. Cooley might well become ’’ Secretary of Agriculture. Con el gressman C. B. Deane, in whose district Stevenson has friends and >- relatives, is close to Stevenson and has been mentioned for the y post of Secretary of Labor.

Rain on the pavement that glistens Yellow and blurred in the light, Voices seductively calling Out of the rain and the night. Winds that are soft, winds that whisper— Why do I listen ? . . .
