STATES AWAIT TASTE
OF # BILL

One man who was sincerely sorry to see
Frank Murphy leave the Department Of JUS
tice is Senator Carl A. Hatch of New Mexico,
author of the famous clean-politics bill. That
bill expressed Murphy's ideas perfectly, and
while he was in the cabinet Hatch had a po-
tent friend in court, so to speak.
Right now Hatch is preparing to push his
companion piece-a bill which would prohibit
political activity by state employees in all
agencies to which the federal government con-
tributes money either by, loans or grants.
This is a cruel blow at political machines,
since every state highway department gets
money from Uncle Sam, and the state highway
department is usually the backbone of the
dominant state political machine. For that very
reason, the bill has a good chance of passage;
Senator Hatch chuckles as he reflects that
senator's and congressman whose own politi-
cal preserves were reduced by the first Hatch
Dill are glad enough to see to 1t that the
same grief is handed along to the boys back
home.
C. S.: That applies especially to statesmen
Who are on the outs with the state machine
pack nome. One solon estimates that the bill
will get rs votes in the senate on that score
alone)

DARST ANNIVERSARY

Dear Sir:
I do not belong to the Episcopa
church, but it seems to me that the
people of Carolina should felicitate
themselves upon the possession Of
such a man as Bishop Thomas c
Darst of the Diocese of East Caro-
lima who is celebrating the twenty
fifth year of his Bishopric.
I say this not because of the fact
that the Bishop is a big preacher;
not merely because of the outstand-
ing work he has done in poular-
izing and ~democratizing his church;
but for the manner of mar that he
is, and for the splendid qualities
of fine citizenship this son of Vir-
GINA has given to his adopted
state. If 1 had the bestowal of
honorary degrees, instead of con
ferring an LID. or a D.. Lift, I
would confer upon Bishop Darst
that degree which he has really
earned here in Carolina-Doctor of
Humanities.
l. leel l. SPEAK tHe SeI1llIlelllS vi
all Carolinians when I say that
we fervently hope he will live long
to continue the great task in
which he is now engaged, and that
it will be given unto him, as it
was unto Queen Victoria, to cele-
brate his Golden Jubilee.

HERE AND THERE

Maybe the White House milkman would
know about the third term situation. Someone
might at least ask him whether Mrs. Roosevelt
mas said anything about cancelling deliveries
after 1910.
Another Lowther-Herrick 'Romeo and In
llet" case pops up on the Pacific coast. Seems
a lot of SWANS are getting a Lowthy deal.
Silesian soldiers fighting for Hitler were told
they would have to go without tobacco he
cause it was a matter of choice between clio.
arets and guns. You wouldn't want to put that
to a vote, Adolf, would you?

Congress probably will pay no attention to
the Presldents budget proposals. 1t will prefer
to find it's own way into the red.

THINK IT OVER

The enterprising Neaos-Argus is authority
for the statement that Goldsboro enjoyed bet.
ter business during last fall and thus far
this winter than other eastern North Caro-.
lima cities of comparable size, and attributes
it to the fact that Goldsboro has more mann.
featuring than any other towns in the east
ern section.
Although the Nea0s-Argus uses it's announce
ment to introduce a plea for better adiust.
ment between industry and agriculture. that
it may reap a double harvest, it adds that
during the period cited collections were hot.

SERGEANT GETS
HUNK WITH OFFICERS

Eleven U. S. Army officers and their families
in Officer row. at Boiling Field spent a cold
and wretched night during the recent wintry
spell here.
An army sergeant had the detail of tending
to their furnaces, for which chore he got 50
per furnace per month. During the cold snap
he had to visit each furnace three or four
times nightly, and the detail irked him. So, as
sembling his S22 stipend on pay day, he stray
ed off the reservation and got drunk.
The fires all went out, the officers and their
people shivered, and the sergeant landed in the
brig. But he's happy-another man has the
furnace Job now.
