NEXT DOOR—They did
not say so in their statement,
but one of the reasons the
Baptist officials wanted to
sell the six-year-old building
here is that it is now cheek
to-jowl with one of Raleigh’s
newest and most popular mo
tels.
This is not to imply any
criticism of the motel, but a
lot of the Baptists here think
the Baptist Convention should
relocate its headquarters out
side the commercial area.
Nevertheless, there is nothing
here more eyeball-to-eyeball
' Irecnwood
than the Baptists and the mo
tel.
Also. Convention headquart
ers are now situated where
Downtown Boulevard empties
into Hillsboro Street. There
is "o busier traffic corner in
North Carolina and perhaps
in the whole Southland.
Don’t be surprised if ef
forts continue unabated to
construct a new building for
the Baptists elsewhere.

heard the hie: talk about hunt
ing deer.
Finally, to put an end tc
the ceaseless begging his clad
cm Saturday morning about
three weeks ago took soijny
with him on a “deer hunt".
Weil, they had not gone
far into the woods when, to
the dad’s great surprise, a
big buck deer stopped, nose
ii the air, only a short dis
tance up the path from them,
i nidy, excited, hands shaking
the sudden luck, raised the
gun.
iiowever, the son, raised on
Walt Disney, looked in amaze
ment at his first real live
deer, in technicolor, there in
the forest. “Oh! No! Daddy,
you can't shoot Bambi!”
And another deer went
high-tailing it off into the
woods.
THE HICK—When the
press boys found in Washing
ton that a man by the name
of L. P. McLendon of Greens
boro had been appointed to
investigate the Bobby Baker
business, they were suspicious.
Theyr just knew that Sen.
Everett Jordan from North
Carolina, who as head of the
Rules Committee had named
McLendon, was up to some
thing.
Well, this showed they knew
neither Jordan nor McLen
don.
Now you have heard that
there are no "Big Men” left;
and we sometimes get the
same impression. He is 73,
is a son-in-law of the late
Gov. Charles B. Aycock, is L.
P. McLendon. No, he has nev
er been Governor; has never
been to Congress; has, to our
knowledge, never even served
as a Superior Court judge.
He is a brother-in-law of Dr.
Clarence Poe.
But he has turned down at
least one appointment to the
State Supreme Court. Solid
as a rock, mild-mannered, a
man of strong convictions, L.
P. McLendon is of average
stature. He is ruddy-complex
ioned, blue-eyed. He des
cribes himself as a “country
lawyer”. But he is a Big
Man, a man to be classed
with the biggest you have seen
and read about.
And, we have an idea that
Bobby Baker and his like in
Washington will say the same
thing after all is said and
done.
VISITOR—One of Kidd
Brewer’s old-time friends—
since the days when they both
worked in Washington—is
Bobby Baker. He has visit
ed Kidd here in Raleigh (as
who important hasn't?) and
on at least one trip to Ra
leigh shook hands with the
leading politicians from all
over North Carolina on a
jaunt from the Sir Walter up
to the State Capitol.
Even though Commerce Sec
retary Luther Hodges knows
Baker and has known him for
a number of years—through
Howard Johnson promotions,

etc.—you can put it down now
that Luther Hodges is free of

Hodges is a past master of
poli.ical strategy. Dishonest
he is not, as certain people
