BY HENRY AVERILL

RALEIGH, Feb. 23.-Early indi.
cations are that there will this year
be several members of the 1889
house with ambitions to sit in the
state senate for the 1941 session of
the general assembly.
At least three house members are
already in the field for senate posts
-"Sheriff" E. A. Raspberry of
Greene; Lee Wilson of Davidson;
and Ashby Robinson of Mcdowell.
Raspberry bases his cause on the
fact that his county hasn't had a
senator in "A years. Wilson edged
out former Senator Lister Martin,
now a candidate for lieutenant gov.
ernor, two years ago in the house
race, and now wants to go up. Rob.
inson pulled one of the prize upsets
of legislative primaries in 1888. A
complete novice, as far as previous
experience went, he finished far
ahead of two veteran politicians and
legislators-"Fatty" Giles and W,
w. Neal. He's an oil dealer and in
the last session opposition to diver
sion of highway funds was legisla.
tive hobby.
Going in the opposite direction
there is only one case which has sc
far come to your Raleigh reporters
attention.
Senator ]. I. Halstead, of Camden
is reported to be a house candidate
from that county this year. He serv.
ed in the senate in 1887 and 1899
and the usual procedure in the first
a couple of terms, thereby giving
some other county a chance at the
senate seat.
The instances cited are probably
running for the senate, or vice yer
sa, but they are the only ones which
occur to your reporter at the mo
rlent.

clusively by this bureau some three
months ago.
Your Raleigh reporter feels he is
doing fairly well so far in the gov
errors race. He has already beer
charged with being on the pay roll
of two candidates and with being
very much prejudiced against g
third.
When the point is reached tha1

your reporter has done them wrong

then Leroy Martin, Wachovia vice
president and a man as thoroughly
c%onversant with the political situa
ton as any in the state, started his

was Leroy's as well.
Say what you please about the

British purchases of American

MRS. TAFT PRACTICES
FOR NEW JOB
Ohio's presidential candidate,
Senator Robert A. Taft, is a bit of
a farmer on the side; has 60 acres
near Cincinnati, and grows (among
other things) prize r~aspberries.
Mrs. Taft is in on it; she raises
prize dahlias, remarks, Bob takes
care Of the farm part-my job is
the flowers" Since dahlias do well
in soil enriched by other crops
you're apt to find hers all owe the
farm; she doesn't try to keep them
in separate beds.
If abundant energy is a qualifica-
ton for the first lady's job, Mrs.
Taft ear pass all of the tests. In
his senatorial campaign last year
she stumped Ohio for him, visiting
all but three counties to organize
republican women.
She has been active in leadership
of the Girl Scouts, the National
League of Women Voters, the Gin.
cinnati Children's Hospital, and a
civic group which collected supplies
for the unemployed.
She expects to go right on be-
ing busy.
Says: II see nc reason for
woman to change because her hus-
band is President. If she is a home
body she will continue to be one;
if she has been active, she will go
on that way
Incidentally, call the Taft home
here when Mrs. Taft is out and
the maid will tell you: mo, l don't
know when she'll be in. When Mrs.
Taft goes out you never know when
she's coming back"

YOUTH GROUP HURTS
SELF IN

The American Youth Congress
managed to convince practically all
the lawmakers here that it really
is a front" outfit. Net result a
terrific blow to the CONGRESSES great
est interest, a program for n re-
lief Of unemployed youth.
This program is embodied In the
Murray bill, and could have been
presented on a persuasive, non-radl'
cal basis-its essentials having been
urged last fall by a commission OF
citizens including such conserva'
tives as Owen D. Young.
Instead the Youth Congress con-
trived to make just about everyone
on 'the hill" feel that all OF the
charges of Communist dominance
are fully justified.
Consequently it will get nowhere,
net, when it goes to bat for the
Murray bill.
