Washington, Aug. BY far the
most discussed topic in Washington
today is the clash OF federal and
state authority in North Carolina
Speculation is rife as to the outcome
OF the matter, and many and varied
are the opinions expressed by poll
ticians and others who have made a
study OF the situation and have
summed up its possibilities. All are
agreed, however, that It will require
extremely delicate handling II the
difficulty is TO be adjusted without
serious consequences, and officials of
the administration therefore are
foath to commit themselves, refus-
ing to express any opinion. Aside
from the possibilities of serious
conflict between the federal and
state governments and all which that
might involve. the political aspect Is
of vast Importance. Men of fore
sight. who have analyzed the matter
minutely, point out that the result
of the next presidential election
easily may hinge upon the manner
IN which the situation Is handled or
developed. az. in the event of serl-
ous clash, there undoubtedly will be
more or less popular demand for
recession TO conservatism and anti
Imperialism. the trouble being attri-
buted by some at least to the mania
Tor drastic anH revolutionary legis-
latlon which has become epidemic In
Washington and the capitals OF sev.
eral states. Whatever the outcome,
the problem certainly will prove a
knotty one. and the administration |
officials have more than n light sum
mer task In cffectlng It's solution.
