RESETTLEMENT HEAD
LAUDS KERR SCOTT
DAILY Dispatch Bureax.
In The Sir Walter Hotel
by D. G.. SkERVIs.I.

Raleigh, June 2O.-High praise of
w. Kerr Scott, nominated in the June
g primary as the Democratic candi-
date for commissioner of Agriculture
was voiced here today by James M.
Gray, associate regional director OF
the Resettlement administration.
Scott, whose defeat of William A.
Graham is still engaging the thought
or most State politicians, was, until
he announced his candidacy, head of
the Farm Debt Adjustment division
of Resettlement in the states of Ken
lucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Vir-
ginia and North Carolina
Although Gray made no reference
to SCOTS campaign, his nomination
is generally hailed by the Federal
agencies because of his pledge to CO.
operate with them. He is whole heart
edly in sympathy, his close friends
say, with the farm recovery program
of the Roosevelt administration.
Incidentally it was pointed out here
when he was officially certified as
the nominee that he will be the first
dirt farmer to go on the Democra-
tic ticket in North Carolina in more
than quarter of century, He owns.
operates and lives on a farm about
seven miles from the town of Bur
lington.
Gray said that since Scott was nam
cd as farm debt adjustment chief in
this region 3,719 cases had been hand
led, resulting in a lowering of farm
debts by $287448. The total amount
of debts in the cases considered by
Resettlement officials and county
committees was $7,194,113
Taxes paid as a result of adjust
ment made, amounted to $94,6O7 in
the region, of which $3O,579 were paid
to governmental units in North Caro-
lima. There were 1900 cases handled
| in this State.
One of the interesting side lights of
Scbtt's successful campaign oI1;er-
vers here point out, was that less than
a generation ago SCOTS father was
an unsuccessful candidate against
Graham's father for the commission
ership.

because of the bad moral character of

by Charles Thompson, a native of Ire

New York, June 2O-This seems to
be the beginning of the Testimonial
Dinner season, although SO far as
know there is no legal ban on the
sport at any time of year.
The Testimonial Dinner in New
York has reached heights of absur-
dity it has achieved nowhere else on
earth. The feasts appear to be of
,, two main varieties, excluding the ones
which are what they pretent to be,
sincere Outpourings of esteem for a
public character. There must be some
of that last-named authenticity, al
though the motives of both diners
and dinee remain mystifying to a
country boy.
The phOney ones classify as fol-
lows. First there is the banquet in
honor of some fairly distinguished
lady or gentleman. The ballyhoo gets

rule you receive flattering letter

LANDON FAILING IS
HE IS NOT KNOWN
Roosevelt's Great Popularity
Is Tremendous Advant-
age in Campaign
BY LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer

MUCH HAS been made over the
mystery of the Landon success.
There was no mystery. The Repub-
lican conventions decision was fore
gone. Writers who sought mystery at
the convention could find not the
slightest. It was a convention without
secrets.
Landon was logical. Whom else had
the Republicans? Hoover probably
never gave up, but his party did.
Knox alone was impossible; Vanden-
berg was too cagey; Steiwer, Justice
Roberts, Dickinson were hopeless;
and BOrah is not an organizer.
LandOn will make a good fight. He
has youth all around him. His nick
name in his part of the country has
been Fox" That appeals to many
persons. He is shreWd, he is canny,
he has some downright fortnight
ideas, not at all acceptable to the Old
Guard. His danger to Roosevelt is that
he probably will advocate some things
which the New Deal has not yet put
into effect. i
His weakness will be his "unknown's
record as to labor and social legislat
tion-and, the other extreme, some
fear of him by conservatives on
money.
He may clarity those positions after
the campaign gets under way.
ON OTHER HAND !;
President Roosevelt has immense
popularity, not only with labor but
with the farmer and the small mer-
chant.
He has directness of speech.
lie is looked upon as having fought
the battles of the people.
1t is upon this basis that his cam.
paign will be fought-the people VS..
monopoly and concentrated wealth:

cennes' speeches)
PRAIRIE STATES
The repeated harping by James A.
Farley that Governor Landon is a
prairie slater probably is done with a
purpose. The Democrats are trying I'd
pin the prohibition tag on Governor
Landon. Z
Farley is a New YOrker-and New
Workers. cannot realize that the Unit
ed States is made up chiefly of mid
westerners, not New Workers. This
writer is a midwesterner. He rather
favors the midwesterner over the
New Yorker. But the point is this, all
are Americans and no division ought
to be created A man may come from
Kansas or Illinois or Indiana and still
have broad knowledge.
The western farmers have accepted
President Roosevelt as a man inter-
ested in the whole people. They do
not think of him as a New Yorker
One ought to be. upheld or attacked
not because of regional accident of
residence, but because of his charac7
ter and honesty and ability.
And often the executive of a small
corporation or political division is a
far more capable man than the big
men in New York. 1t would be fool
ish to say that this is true always,
but it can be true.

BALTIMORE, November 25.-Mary-

there would be q special session of the
Legislature late in December to enact

Gov. Harry w. Nice. reiterated yes

But Attorney General Herbert r.

In Washington, John G. Winant,
chairman of the Federal Social Sc
curity Board, announced he would
not recommend to Congress extension
Of the December 81 deadline for States
to comply by enacting State laws.
Winant's decision gave strength to

Delegate Frank J. Hirt of Baltimore

would be necessary and said he would
introduce his unemployment insur-

Hirt's bill was introduced first in

Of the vocal magic this great artist

not renewed her voice. because it then
was the voice Of youth and 20 years

Too Frail for Opera.
There were some brief intervals
when the voice recaptured its former

Said Edward Barry in the Tribune:
The first 20 minutes of La Boheme'

There was much of the old CALI

Her voice trembled noticeably
