Editor - Entered as second claw matter November 15. 1934, at Von uaee tt Hertford, North Carolina, nn ier the Act of March, 18TO. . SUBSCRIPTION RATES $2.00 Per Year Advertising rates furnished by request - , 'FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1B2 A Mark Of Progress With the completion of Hertford new municipal building this communi ty now has another lanamaric wmcu, in our opimon is a creon w w and is a mark of progress. , Every resident, not only of me town, but the county, should visit tfna huilding soon and inspect the modern office spaces from which is carried on the business of the municipality. The beautiful and spacious building adds much to the business Section of the town, and will provide space for more efficient management of the town's affairs. .That the building was constructed at a low cost, and without additional taxation, is to our way of thinking, a credit to the Mayor and members of the Town Board in planning and su pervising the construction. " , Raise For 4,725,000 Some 4,725,000 persons now re ceiving Old Age' and Survivors' in surance -checks under Social Security, will receive hikes in payments, be ginning October 3, the Federal Se curity Agency has announced. Total monthly Social Security payments will rise from $18,400,000 to $190,500, 000, it was said.; .;. ;.'. This increase, represents 13 per cent increase to retired workers and their families and to denendent survivors of workers.- Persons now getttng monthly benefit payments need take no action to get the increase, since tne increase m: automatically yroviueu uy law passed in the recent session of Congress. ' : Republicans have charged that the Administration timed the Social Se- j.. ! J- lia cuny increases m cunu-iuo election this year and the Democrats have retorted that the raises were provided by Congress and did not rep resent a political effort. Whichever is true, the fact that 4,725,000 persons receiving Federal old age and survivors' insurance checks are getting increases on the eve of the election might have some effect. The $22,000,000 to be added to the monthly payments is likewise certain to be felt in the business world. The-economic effects, how ever, will not be realized in time to exert any influence on the November 4th election.

AGENCY CLOSES . .The (Disnlaced Persons Commission recently ended operations in Jwasn-j inrton. after having brougm oyer 400.000 refugees to the United States. The Displaced Persona Act expired as of September 1, having been in effect for more than four years preceding that date. Manv roeople expressed the belief that the closing of the Displaced per sons Commission was a domestic, trag edy, in that there are still many dis placed persons in Europe. However, it might be well to take into consider ation' the fact that there have been displaced persons in Europe for many centuries and there always will toe. The last World War ended seven years asro. and although-many victims of Nazi and Soviet oppression have not been cared for, many others have. It appears that several European countries will be burdened with an over-population , problem for many years to come and, for this reason, some of them were not able to con tribute to .the European D. P. prob lem earlier. As long as this tendency in these European countries continues,' there will be many displaced persons in Europe. REPUBLICANS AND THE SENATE If the Republican party and Gen eral Dwight D. Eisenhower are vic torious in the November election, it will not necessarily mean contra! of Congress for the KJ.O.P. In the House, the Republicans have an equal chance against the Democrats to capture the majority control. However, in the Senate the situa tion is different, and favors the Demo crats, Of the 32 'Senators whose terms normally erpire, 19 are Repub lirans. Thus the continuance of 19 Republican (Senate terms is at stake, while the - continuance of only', 13 Democratic Senate terms is at stake. Of the 13 Democratic terms ex piring,, many are terms being served by southerners, ' or border-staters, which are thought to be safely Demo cratic. Considering the circumstances, which include the fact that the Demo crats now hold a slim majority in the senate, it is highly possible that if General Eisenhower wins the election in November, he will by no means be assured of a Republican Senate. On the contrary, the odds favor the Democrats, who have high hopes of capturing some of the 19 terms ex- jpg now faied by Republicans. It mas been only a few years since the President and a majority of the mem bers of Congress were of different party affiliation. In 1946 a Repub lican maioritv was elected in both House and Senate and for two years V President Harry Truman served as Chief Executive while Congress was in majority-control of the Republicans. THE AMERICAN LEGION AND POLITICS The American Legion, a veterans' group, has long dabbled in national politics. The annual American Leg ion convention is used as a sounding board, by Legion leaders, and some members, to express their political opinions. A majority of the country's editors have probably, in the past, censured the Legion for taking what seemed to them one-sided positions on Nat ional issues.. ' The (Legion has also, in the past. sometimes sought programs which would cost huge hums of money and which .were of dubious value to the national interest. On such occasions, the Legion was acting as a huge pres sure group, pushing for special privi leges for veterans. There is nothing new or singular in this, since that seems to be the trend in the modern day. However, the question is whether groups organized to promote the wel fare and interest of veterans, or any other special group, should organize into political weapons dealing in all 'sorts of foreign and domestic issues In a recent address to the Air Force Association, the Secretary of the Air Force, Thomas F. -Fmletter, pointed out that the Russians have made an 1 important addition; to their Far East- en Air force: a number of Jet bombers. , " , Mr. iFinletter evaluates the Rus sian - let Hght bombers as "capable of serious and damaging attacks en -the' United Nations front fines and United Nations logistic support" He adds, however, that thes jet bombers are still in Russian hands and have not been turned over to the Chinese UHnuiiuiwat- f .

It should be remembered that of the 2,100 planes in the. Chinese Com munist air force, practically all were built in Russia. It has been estimated that 1,300 of the planes are jets, and most of the jets are -MWi a. . Mr. Finletter states that the Rus sian jet bombers which are' likely to show up in the Chinese air force are "capable of serious and daauuriiur at tacks on the United Nations front lines and United Nations logistic sup port. . - 1 A Few Americans realise the air ad vantage the United Nations havo en joyed since the beginning of the war in Korea.
