New Democratic Campaign

lOO.lllIlutC EIOIll I oSS ShCJ
among the business tycoons, VINO
hate President Roosevelt and feel
that they will be backing one OF their
own in Wendell Willllie, a big utility
executive until after his nomination
by the Republicans.
On the other hand new party lead
ers, State Chairman +. B. Denny,
Vice Chairman Mrs. Mccain and
Secretary Arch T. Allen, while say
ing nothing very definite for publ
cation at this time, are obviously
optimistic Of the usual party sue
cess in November.
Tho who make it their business
to keep tab on the public's political
pulse share this optimism to great
degree, although they are almost
UNANIMOUSLY OF line UpIniul tina. &c
Roosevelt majority will ~"t be aS
overwhelming as it was Jour years
ago.
In 1886 the President ran nearly
IS 900 votes ahead of Governor Clyde
R. Hoey. There is a suspicion that
this time, Govcrnor-to-he j. NJ.
Broughton will likely run slightly
ahead of the President, though you
can get an argument on that in
some quarters.
Even so, there is nothing TO ind
cate that the Broughton vote will
be materially less than the Hocy
support of 1886. Even if it should be-,
however the Decorate candidate
could yield even 100000 votes to
his Republican opponent and still
come in comfortably ahead.
Hocy poIled 542,123 to 270.843 for
Gillian Grissom; while Roosevelt's
total was 6l6,l4l to Landon's 223,-
283.
Democratic leaders are convinced
that there are not 100000 disaffec-
tons, but even if there were
Broughton could still win by some
thing more than 10000 majority
and it would take a switch Of al
most 100000 votes, or one in three
from his 1886 total, to put Roosevelt
in the losing column.
And so it appears 10 most analysts
that any talk of a Republican sue
cess in North Carolina this year il
pure hog wash and nothing else
1t would take frenzy Of fanatlca
fervor, such as defeated the Pope II
1928 in North Carolina, to swing thu
state and there is not outward evil
dcnce that the third term or New
Deal issue has reused the state il
general to any such pitch.
Democratic big wigs are even sin
; cerely confident that very few seat
VIII be lost in the General Assembly
They say that such disaffection a
does exist is to be found mostly IL
the heavy-voting industrial countic
where the party has such wild
margin it can stand great de;
of ticket slashing. On the other hano
they contend, there is no sign tina
the Democrats of the ordinarily clos
counties are going to do anythin
other than vote against the Damne
Radicals" as usual.

In cities Of 10000 or more the
patrolmen and clerks are paid from
$1,000 to $1,000 year and in these
larger municipalities the work day
is eight hours.

proximately the same as in the lar

A Mans Job

For thirty years a movement has
been steadily growing in the United
States based on the ideal of develop
Ing the citizenship and building the
individual character of future citizens
during their period of adolescence.
Today the thirtieth annual meet
ing of the National Council of the
Boy Scouts of America will open in
Oklahoma City. Representatives of
five hundred and forty community
councils, spokesmen for the two mil
lion boys and young men now &C
lively engaged in Scouting, will de-
vote attention to the vital problem of
adequate leadership.
While approximately seven million
young Americans are of Scout age,
only ten out of thirty-five are
directly reached by this organiza-
ton. In part, this is due to suffi-
cient diversity of interests to occupy
and develop some of these boys. A
small proportion is unable for
variety of reasons to participate. But
by far the greater number is pre-
vented from enjoying the program
offered merely by the lack of adult
leadership. With four hundred thou
sand boys and young men from flf-
teen years Of age upward enrolled
in the senior groups, whose program
is based entirely upon training for
leadership. future prospects are
brighter. But there still is a pressing
need for men of character, however
inept they may feel themselves in
the technical aspects OF Scouting,
but who have definite interest in
boyhood and a sense of RESPONSE
bility to the community, to devote
few hours weekly to guiding
the natural instincts Of neighbor-
hood "gangdom" into constructive
channels.
AS an example Of today's need, the
final paragraph of the dedication of
senior Scouts embodies the principles
Of the entire organizations:
II will work for America and will
guard our heritage-its liberties and
responsibilities-realizing that the
privileges we enjoy today have come
as result of the hard work, sacri-
flee, faith and clear thinking of our
forefathers, and will do all in my
power to transmit our America,
reinforced, to the next generation"

G. A. A. Plan Rejected

The House deserves congratulation
for its emphatic protest against
President Roosevelt's plan to place
the Civil Aeronautics Authority
under the supervision of the Com
merce Department, and to abolish
the Air Safety Board. A resolution
of rejection, adopted by margin of
seventy-ni votes, now goes to the
Senate, where the storm of disap-
proval broke when the transfer was
proposed early in April as part of
the Presidents Reorganization Plan
w.
In the month that the issue has
been under debate, both in Congress
and out, administration supporters
have failed to offer a single convinc-
ing argument for the change.
Representative Lea, Democrat, of
California, put the case we'll:
Il am satisfied that the reasons
asserted for the change are theoreti-
cal, inconsequential and ignore the
important problems with which avi-
alton deals"
The creation of the c. A. A. as an
independent agency was deemed
necessary because of the unsatisfac-
tory conditions surrounding the con-
troll over commercial aviation which
formerly was exercised by the Com
merce Department; and there has
been no evidence that a mistake
was made when this step was taken.
There has been some effort to dem
onstrate that the independence of
the Authority would not be lessened
under the proposed transfer, but it is
too much OF strain on credulity to
suppose that a governmental func-
tion can be fitted into the machinery
OF any agency without becoming in
volved in the administrative policies
Of the establishment.
Under the law, Plan w, which was
submitted by the President on April
II, will become law unless rejected by
both Houses of Congress within sixty
days. The Star hopes that the SEN
ate, which has been waiting on House
action in the matter, will lose no time
now in administering the coup de
grace to this ill-advised proposal.

Pacific Muneuyers

Even though the Navy's sudden
decision to hold the fleet in Hawaiian
waters may have been based chiefly
on the asserted desire of the high
command to conduct further tao
tical exercises" the move is reas-
suring one in view of the deepening
gravity of world developments.
While Japan we'll knows that she
has nothing to fear from peace
time maneuvers of our naval forces
IN the Pacific, 1t is highly important
that she be kept aware of the fact
that the United States is prepared
to defend her nationals, her possess
sions and her established rights from
any Far Eastern brand of "blitzkrieg"
that might be attempted.
With another war scare sweeping
the Netherlands, 1t is but natural
that America should turn its eyes
anxiously toward the Netherlands
East Indies-not, of course, with the
Idea of taking them over but of
guarding against the "protectOrate"
type of Japanese encroachment re-
Gently limited at in Toxic. The State
Department already has warned
Japan that the United States will
not consent to a change in the
political sovereignty of the Dutch
Islands, on which we depend. for
strategic rubber and tin. Words
sometimes fail to carry much weight
with aggressor nations, however, un-
less backed up by something bit
more tangible and impressive than
rhetoric. Presence of the American
fleet off it's Pearl Harhor base should
have a discouraging effect on any
would-be meddlers with the Far
Eastern status quo.

observing this bird. or at least getting
few glimpses of 1t, last summer, when
I was vacationing in shack on South
River, near Annapolis.
Being beginner in this bird busi-
ness, had purchased q couple Of little
handbooks for 10 cents each 50 that
could identify some Of the many kinds Of
birds new to me, seen almost every day
In the woods.
II had also borrowed my wife's opera
glasses to get better close-ups. These
glasses, while helpful, are, Of course, not
as suitable for the purpose as the regu-
lar bird glasses. My wife has since given
me pair of the latter, and am look
ing forward to making further explora-
tions into birdland this season.
"One day noticed bird in nearby
tree that had bright white and black
stripes.
II had never seen this bird before
and was struck with the unusualness
and beauty of its markings. I noticed
also that 1t was very active, hopping
about this way and that, ana going down
the trunk, head down, in search Of In
sects.
Il looked 1t up in my little book, and
there was no mistake about It's identity.

"The description further said: This
bird and three nuthatches are the only
birds that creep down as we'll as up a
tree in their quest for food, and further
that the progress of the black white
creeper is also much more jerky than
that of the nuthatches, which he re-
sembles in his creeping, and at each
hop he faces in a different direction
whereas the nuthatches keep straight
ahead without looking first one way
and then the other way
Unfortunately, I do not know the
nuthatches, but hope to get acquainted
with them. If tte nuthatch is better

Everything Is important in bird
neutrality-suspicious. the bird walks or
hops, whether it moves straight forward
or looks one way and then the other
way, how its total length compares With
other birds, just what striking features
it has, and how these compare with
similar details on other species, and
especially how they differ from them.
Bird observation is a good thing be-
cause it teaches people not only to see
details, but to realize that they see
them. There is a difference. For in
stance. in all walks of life 1t is per-
fectly easy to see something and yet
really not see 1t. We all know how this
Is. We may enter and leave building
without once realizing whether it is
made OF brick or stone. Once our at
