Measure Was Sponsored
BY Representative r.
l.. Doughton OF This
District.

A bill giving control of the new
Blue Ridge parkway in North
North Carolina and Virginia to the
National Park Service was passed
by Congress June 20.
The bill had been defeated earlier
in tht day when brought up under
suspension of the rules which re-
quires a two thirds vote for pas
sage.
Reconsideration was forced after
the rules committee brought in a
rule which eliminated the necessity
for the two thirds vote and enable
passage by a straight majority.
Among other things the bill
provides that "the forest service
and the national park service shall,
in so far as practicable, co-ordi-
nate and correlate such r~ecreational
development as each may plan,
construct, or permit to be con-
structed, on lands within their
respective jurisdiction which, by
mutual agreement. should be given
special treatment for recreatibnal
purposes"

Legion Post
Seeks Home

The American Legion is making
plans for a permanent home here
and has asked the city to be the
sponsoring agency for a WPA
community center project, which
will not only serve as Legion head
quarters, but be available for other
purposes.
The Legion officials told the
council that the post will pay the
necessary amount required from
the sponsoring agency in the event
the Project is approved. To date
more than $4,000 has been raised
by the Legion for a buildiig pro-
gram, and it is anticipated that 49,
900 can be secured at an early date.
In the event the WPA project is
approved, a building costing from
SIC, 900 to $4,000 will be erected.
The council indicated favorable
action on the matter and told the
Legion boys to go ahead with their
plans.

ROOSEVELT Will HEAD TICKET
IS Counties In Hoey Column
The Character of Clyde Hoey

1t is the duty of a citizen in a
democracy calmly and with intelli-
gent approach to measure the men
wlao aspire to public office and tic
vote on a basis of considered judy
ment and not by aroused prejudi-
cies and passions.
When Clyde Hoey is appraised
by such a yardstick, no amount of
vulgar ribaldry Of a rival candidate
touches even so much as the hem
pr his garment.
On the basis of his fitness for
the leadership of the political life
of the State, on the basis of his
proven qualities as a statesman,
and by virtue of his irreproachable
personal character, Mr.. Hoey has
right to lay claim to the suffrage
of the electorate of North Carolina
in his aspirations to be the Gov
ernor of this great Commonwealth.
A statesman not only technical
ly- knows and understands the
science of government, but will
administer government for the
highest interests of the greatest
number with conviction, with un-
swerving courage and with devo-
ton to the principles of justice and
morality. Mr.. Hoey qualities under
those terms.
He will be the Governor of no
minority. No clique Or bloc or
group will put chains
around his neck. He will be every
man when everybody is
the bounds of justice and.
fairness and truth. He will bend
10 knee 70 any Baal. No group
With an x to grind will sharpen
is selfish instrument on the rock
his favor. He is free and I'M
committed to policies and leader
ship that will exalt one and debase
another of his fellow-citizens.
Mr.. Hoey's knowledge of gbv-
and of s~tatecraft is not
from books of theory. By
observation, by study, by training
and by instinct he has acquired
mastery in this field. Problems
Of fiscal management r not new
to his disciplined mind. He is no
in these areas to which he
aspires.
Mr.. Hoey knows, as every right
thinking citizen in North Carolina
knows and appreciates, that in ord
er to have good government with
progressive and humane public SER
vices, revenues must be provided
by those who are the beneficiaries
Of such favors. He offers nor pro-
misses magical performance MOI

TODAY AND
R
BY
FRANK Parker STockBRDcE


l have never net the Republi-
can candidate for President, but
most of the men who organized
the campaign for his nomination
are old personal friends of mine.
If ALT Landon is half as good as
they tell me he is, he will make a
great campaign.
He prefers, he says, to be .atled
calf" rather than Alfred, al
though Mrs. Landon thinks Alfred
is more d;gnified. He has signed
his name "Alf" for a good many
years and sees no reason to change
it now. Men who were in college
with him tell me his nickname
used to be Fox" Landon. My
guess is that anybody who takes
him for a supplemented innocent
is going to be fooled. He has
been in Kansas politics all his life,
and they know what politics is, in
Kansas.
There are few states in which
SO many people are politically
minded as in Kansas, or take their
politics more seriously.
KNOX heavy hitter .
l have known Frank Knox,
Landon's running mate, only as a
newspaper man.. In the newspaper
business he has demonstrated that
he is a good fighter, both on paper
and, in his early days, with his
fists when necessary.
Like ALI Landon, he is a veteran
of the World War. He is also a
veteran of the Spanish War. That
he is a good soldier seems to me to
be proved by his ready acceptance
OF second place on the ticket when
he was out for first place. I had
lunch with him a couple Of mon
tbs ago and at hat time he felt
sure of the Presidential nomina-
ton.
My bunch is that Col. Knox
will do most of the heavy hitting
in the Republican campaign. 1
may change my mind, however,
after All Landon gets into action.
HAMILTON fighter
I had two or three visits with
John Hamilton last Winter before
he took hold of the Landon cam
l sized him up then as al
scrapper who can think fast on his
feet. Red-headed, freckle-faced,
quare-shouldered, with a jaw that
iuts out like a bulldogs, John
is the personification of
energy.
: The new Republican national
has been in the rough
and-tumble Of Kansas politics since
Four years ago he was
opposing ALE Landon. Now he is
trying to put him in the White
House. He proved himself a great
political strategist by his cam
,paign fot Landon's nomination,
which was easily the biggest poll
tical achievement l know anything
about.
Whether his candidate wins or
loses, John Hamilton at a., has
made himself a factor to be reck-
oned with il all future councils
of the Republican Party, the con-
troll of which he has definitely
shifted to the restless, forward
hooking Middle West.
HOOVER happy
l spent an hour with Herbert
Hoover just as the Cleveland Re-
publican Convention was adjourn
ing. Echoes of the applause with
which his speech at Cleveland was
received were still ringing in his
ears. Congratulatory kilograms
and letters were piled two feet
high in his New York hotel room.
Mr.. Hoover was both proud and
happy. He was proud to point out
that the Republican platform had
been built on the principles which
he had been advocating in his pub
