black man had done, for the
sheer joy Of bringing recognition
to American Negroes.
BECAUSE OF insufficient funds
these men were unable to secure
parachutes or the necessary radio
equipment. But because they
wanted to keep the faith with
the few loyal Negroes who had
contributed to the cause they
took off without certain essen

sailed triumphantly into Grand
Central Airport and made a per-
feet landing Wednesday at $50
p. m. An immense throng greet
ed the colored flyers and cheered
them when they stepped from
their plane having completed an
air trip from Atlantic City. Nj.
to Los Angeles in 33 hours and
Ii minutes.
They were the first race bird
men" to span the continent from
tie east to the west and the Sc
cond duo to pilot a plane that
has ever crossed the country
handled by men of our group.
Another first was chalked up BY
the intrepid flyers when the
plane was donated by one Of the
flyers. s..,.
The flyers left Atlantic City
Monday morning at 2:55 a. m.
and were forced down at Cam
Gen, New Jersey on account of
the fog. Their trip was without
any mishap until they reached
Badly Mesa where they were
forced to set down because of
an overheated engine.
After it had cooled they took
off for Los Angeles again. Avia-
ton experts consider the plane
as unworthy of an attempt to
cross the continent One at
tache of the airport commented
to the AMP reporter that the
flyers were ''fool-hardy.
These pioneers in Negro avia-
ton have but few of the instru-
ments and navigation aids usual
ly carried by flyers on long dis
stance journeys. They lack para
chutes. They have no way of
receiving the latest weather re-
ports, no way of knowing when
death-dealing storm is coming

BEER AND BAPTISTS

The Baptist Courier, official organ of the South
Carolina Baptist Convention published in Green
Vile and edited by the distinguished DR.. 4. T..
Cody, raises a question in church discipline Ill
this editorial in the current issue:
''What will our churches do with members who
sell beer? This is practical question which re-
cent legislation has thrown on the churches. We
note that two honored Methodist bishops have
warned members of that communion concerning
selling beer We do not know what attitude our
Baptist churches will take in this matter. Each
has to decide the question for itself. Heretofore
our churches have not tolerated liquor sellers in
their fellowship. 1t might be that some bootleg
gers have got by but bootleggers are like hypo-
critics, we'll known in general but little hard to
locate with disable evidence. Where are churches
could handle them they have been excluded. But
there will be no more difficulty in finding the sell
ers of beer than there was in finding the old sa-
loon keepers And let it be said that long before
prohibition came our Baptist churches, with unan-
unity. acted against the dealers in liquor They
would not fellowship those who made liquor nor
those who sold it, neither the wholesaler nor the
retailer Will they allow fellowship to the sellers
of beer? We would like to hear from some of our
deacons and pastors
Laity and public will await developments, all
with interest some with anxiety, some with puz-
zled wonder, many others with firm faith that
righteousness and wisdom will prevail, albeit ideas
as to what is right and wise will vary greatly.
And if fellowship is denied those who sell beer
another episode may be expected upon the ques-
ton of what to do with members who drink it

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
TWO FORMER GOVERNORS

Among the tax-spenders of North Caroline'
neither former Governors Mclean nor Gardn"E
were POPULAR but among the taxpayers thelc
prestige will grow with the years and the records
Of their respective administrations will SHINE WITH
increasingly bright luster.
Governor McLean's regime was featured by
what The Fayetteville Observer happily calls "irk-
some efficiency" by which it means that this canny
Scotehman, picking up the reins of government
after the people of the state had voluntarily gone
on a spending orgy, saw with his tar-reachlng VI
sion that the Authorizations of that hour would
disappear and that progress was phantom, unless
it was gagged in keeping with the ability of the
people to pay.
At once, therefore. he set himself to the task
of instituting necessary economies by calling
halt on wild and reckless expenditures and by
seeking to bring governmental leadership back t"
earth for the people who had insisted that it float
amid the clouds. The policy was CALLING to the
spenders.
Then came Governor Gardner to inherit the
most exacting duties of any governor in genera
tion coming into leadership just before the bulb
BILE burst and the bottom fell out to find it not
only advisable but imperative to stick the axe 20
the spending processes authorized by the legisla-
ture.
He we'll earned the tribute which The New York
Evening Post has just paid him in saying that
'North Carolina has recently shown what one
state. under the leadership of fearless and able
governor can do to give its citizens better state
county and municipal government
''Under the administration of Governor 0. Max
Gardner North Carolina cut the total cost of gov
eminent in that state 100000 in one year and
reduced the tax burden property by more than
S12, 100000 in the same year.
Governor Gardner called in outside agency
of experts to make a survey of government IN
that state And then, in the light of the facts,
developed by this non-political group of experts
the governor with the cooperation Of the legSIa-
ture. turned the curve of taxation downward and
the curve of honest and effective administration
distinctly upward"
The prestige gained by Gardner for his accom-
plshments in handling the fiscal problems of North
Carolina flew far and wide and during the last
year of his office he was summoned to various
parts of the country to address audiences of buS-
ness leaders and legislatures to give definition CT
his plans and policies. AS result, various states
have followed his procedure, adopting his course
of action and bringing about the same readjust-
ments that he wrought for his own state while
governor.
Governor Ehringhaus has inherited a status at
Raleigh which leaves him no option other than to
give the state a continuing leadership of such
economies as the body of public service en-
dure without being wrecked, and it is heartening
to know that he is aware of this opportunity and
this duty and proposes to apply himself to this
plan o. action.-Charlotte Observer.

tVTASHINGTON.-The morale OF
w government employees prOba-
by is lower than it ever was be-
fore.
These hundreds Of thousands
OF workers, widely regarded as a
privileged class and often called
PARASITES" by the cheap dema-
gogues of Congress, are no longer
TO be cnvied. They haven't yet
shared proportionately the mis-
cry of the mass Of wage earners
employed by private business
but they have been going through
a miserable period in which
everything is uncertain except
for the certainty that things. are
going to get worse.
At a time when President
Roosevelt himself has urged wage
increases on private industry, a
large proportion of them face the
likelihood of a 40 per cent reduc-
ton of income if they are lucky
enough not to lose their jobs. And
Washington isn't such relatively
happy place to live in as it used
TO be. Nervousness, which some
times approaches hysteria, is in
the air.
These are the chief causes OF
worry:

Burke thought it was necessary
for them to haze a few addlttlQnrall,
stamps. The feeling among not a
few Of the state department heads
and employees has been that Burke
has been the real governor OF
North Carolina the past several
years. and the elected governors
merely the titular heads Of the
state government.
But there is no doubt about the
fact that Burke rated with the
general assembly that just ended
and that his word carried more
weight. with its memoirs than that
of anyone else. They were strong
for him and let him know it. As
"a result, good many observers
here believe that Burke will be
retained by Governor Ehringhaus
provided he can persuade him
to stay.

SOMETHING TO 1T

at would be better to turn loose ten thousand
mad dogs and rattlesnakes in state than to legal
ize liquor" The foregoing remark was made by
Federal Judge Yates Webb in charge to grand
Jury in Asheville federal court last week. The
judge has always been very ardent prohibition
worker, and he, with the cooperation of Mr.. Vol
stead was author of the 18th Amendment and
possibly extended a more powerful influence i!
the prohibition movement than any other member
of congress The judge further declared in his
charge last week that group of millionaire
formed an association to bring back legal liquor
in order to let the little man pay the revenue to
help run the government.
There may be more to Judge Webb's statement
than any of US might think at first glance.-The
