New days on the political fron
tiers of North Carolina were seen
lin the city elections held a few
days ago.
Several Communities—including
Lumberton and Raleigh among the
newcomers—now have Negroes on
their city councils. This has come
about through the colored rice
concentrating on their one candi-
Itlate.
A least one Western North Caro
lina city is putting its Democratic
strength on the appointment of a
popular Negro to a Federal posi
tion. Otherwise, they say, he is a
shoo-in for the 1963 session of the
Legislature.
Back To Reconstruction?
They don’t talk about it much
in public, but a lot of Democrats
agree among themselves that the
most important single development
Ibf the 1960 political races in state
und nation was the new strength
' pf the Negro. For, by and large, he
votes as a unit—they call it single
shotting—and in so many counties
and cities the Negro holds the bal
ance of power. If he goes for John
Doe, Richard Roe loses—or vice
’versa.
How long will it be until we have
a Negro in the State Legislature?
Not since the Days of Reconstruc
tion just following the Civil War
has the colored man had much ac
ftive strength in the N. C. General
Assembly.
But if colored people continue
their interest, their unit voting,
and their selection of able candi
dates for offce, nobody here would
ibe greatly surprised if the 1963
Legislature has one or two Negroes
in its membership.
If this does not happen in 1963,
then look for it in 1965 and 1967.
You cannot lean on the Negro for
political strength in one instance
and continue to deny him political
ambition in another.
Different This Time
The biggest handicap Gov. Terry
Sanford has to overcome in get
! ting a tax on food for his program
is not the housewife. It is the same
old enemy in new dress: the Re
publican Party.
In Winston-Salem last week, for
example, three Republicans—an
unheard of thing in recent years—
wtere elected to the board of Aider
men. The usually quiet and reserv
ed Republicans in the Legislature
are this time, quite cocky and in
clined during carefree moments to
become downright rambunctuous.
Afraid of God
The boys and girls, from the
close counties are telling Good
Friend Sanford that they love him,
wiish him well, but there is a Re
publican hidden out there in the
bushes ready for ambush if they
. vote to “put a tax on vittles”.
And, as of last week, there ap
peared to be less chance of a sales
tax on food than at any time in
the 90 days the leigslature has
been in session.

It began to look as if the Gov
crnor could lose his entire program
if he did not become as quietly
ruthless as some of the legislators
who are opposing his program.
July—or June 15?
As the Legislature moves into
its fourth month, it looks as if it
might be here well into a fifth. In
fact, one of the old-timers believes
it will be July before the angels
look homeward. But one of our
old friends who acts as one of the
clerks in the House swears ’’it’s
going to be Labor Day weekend”.
Thoroughly disgusted.
Be that as it may, there is cne
thing most of the guessers seemed
to be missing last week. There is
a Governors Conference coming up
in Hawaii the middle of June. Gov
ernor Terry Sanford plans to be
there. Grapevine says he plans to
leave June 15. That’s not a Satur
day, usual quitting day. Will he
leave with the Legislature in ses
sion? We doubt it.
Five News Notes
1. We don’t profess to know
what it means (probably some type
of Federal job), but an FBI agent
was in Raleigh last week doing a
lot of digging on Harry Gatton,
executive vice president of the
Bankers Assn., and Jonathan Dan
iels, editor of the News & Obser
ver . . .
2. Raleigh folks couldn’t help
laughing behind their hands at
Commerce Secretary Luther Hod
ges’ pronouncement about price-
| fixing on the Federal level . .
going after it, etc. . . . but obvious
ly a lot of it went on right under
his nose while he was Governor of
; North Carolina. The Terry Sanford
administration must be given the
entire credit for its discovery . . .
and there may be more to come . . .
3. Three new Federal judges
were scheduled to be named this
I week or next —and then perhaps
we can come nearer to clearing the
(calendar . . .
4. North Carolina’s Mother-of
the-Year, Mrs. Duncan Memory, is
in N. Y. competing f<w
honors. She is accompanied by Mrs
Maude D. Bunn of Raleigh, State
chairman. National leaders in the
project include Mrs. Norman Vin
cent Peale and Mrs. J. C. Penny.
Assisting with the program in this
State—with funds is: the N. C.
Merchants Association.
5. Two Republicans—William Os
teen and Wayne West—prevented
death for the N. C. Minimum Wage
Bill last week. This measure would
fix it so that firms having three or
more employees would be covered
1 by the 75#-an-hour minimum . . .
as against the present five or more.
The bill had lost in the committee
by 16-9. But the House rules say
that the losers in the committee
fight can take a bill to the House
floor if they can get 25% of those
present and voting (25 in this
base) to sign the bill as a minority
report. They had five signatures,
RHODODENDRON FESTIVAL .
PLANS ANNOUNCED IN N. C. 1
BAKERSVILLE The 15th
Annual North Carolina Rhododen
dron Festival will be held this year
on June 22, 23. 24, and 25th accor
ding to the Bakersville Lions Club
which has been sponsoring this!
bvent since it started.
This year, visitor's to the Festi
val will see two new events added
to the already popular mountain
top festival. On Thursday night,
June 22, something new in the form
of A Junior Miss Rhododendron
Pageant will be featured with girls!
eight through eleven being judged!
on talent, swim suit, and evening
gown competition. A Junior Miss
Rhododendron Queen will be chosen
and she will appear in many events
with the regular Rhododendron
Queen.
On Friday night, June 23, The
Rhododendron Pageant will be fea
tured with girls competing for the
title of North Carolina Rhododen
dron Queen. Many valuable prizes
needed two more to get the 25%.
The two Republicans signed the
bill, giving it seven—enough to
take it to the floor May 11. Which
again shows the strength of a
(minority ... as it at least de
layed death. Only time would tell
the full story.
