Drys Elated
By Victory
Effort To Secure
Statewide Prohibition
May Follow Johnston
County Victory.

Raleigh, July 1.-(AP)-Elated
over results of prohibition referen
dunn Saturday in Johnston county,
North Carolina dry leaders predict
ed confidently today that statewide
prohibition would be re-established
perhaps by special election ord
cred by the 1871 legislature.
Johnston county was one Of 27
units which had authorized sale of
liquor under the county option laws
passed by the 1885 and 1887 legis-
lature. In its referendum Saturday,
Johnston became the first Of the wet
counties to return to the prohibition
ranks.
Gale K. Burgess, of Raleigh, presi-
dent of the United Dry forces, is
sued statement last night declaring
that the Johnston vote and other
liquor elections held turing the last
five years "show a definite change
of sentiment in our state"
The vote, he said, will have elm
fluence" on the l941 legislature,
"when the drys ask again for the
statewide referendum"
A hint that the drys will insist
not only on closing liquor stores,
but in banning sale of beer and wine
as well, was contained in portion
of the statement which said:
1.-The rapid change of sentiment
in the state should cause the 1871
general assembly to give the peo-
pie the right to vote in statewide
referendum, so they can close all
the liquor stores and beer saloons
in the state and set up statewide
system Of law enforcement"
The dry leader explained that the
tactics of the prohibitionists would
be to call for vote to ban "intox-
icating liquor" This would force
the courts to determine whether beer
and wine are Intoxicating, he said
"The most significant thing about
the Johnston county election is that
it was the first contest on the ques-
ton of closing liquor stores" he
said, "And that, after seeing these
stores in operation for three years,
the citizens of Johnston county vot-
ed almost two to one to close their
liquor stores. 49,. ...
after the vets had lost every
election that they had called dur
ing the last three years, they STOP
ped calling county elections: and the
drys took the offensive and called
the election to close the Johnston
county stores. This decisive victory
will influence other counties to call
elections to close their liquor stores"

Feud Again
To The Fore
Continued From Page One]

there was coupled with the Scott
victories an implied promise, at least,
on the part of the Commissioner, to
get down to brass lacks and do some
thing about the whole deplorable
series of squabbles.
AS stated, nothing Of this sort
seems even to have been attempted;
and that's why it is quite possible
that the 1941 General Assembly will
take matters into its own hands.
Authentic information reaching
this bureau indicates that there is
quietly being formed a group which
will attempt to settle the thing once
and for all by taking away from the
Department every Vcstige of control
over the best farms and experiment
tai stations; the control to be vested
wholly and completely in the State
Colleges hands.
On its face that would appear to
mean, if the movement should be sue
cessful, complete victory for the
present College setup, but there is in
cluded in the legislative groups
plans something of a Joker" which
would make il nothing more than a
physic victory for Dean l. o. Schaub,
of State College.
The catch is that it would be pro-
vided, in turning over the expert
mental agencies to the College, that
Dean Schaub would not be in posi-
ton to get control of them unless he
should be willing to renounce his
post as AAA administrator for the
state. And that's something it is fig
ured he'd never do. In short the leg
islation would provide that the eX-
detrimental division head must be that
and nothing else
Getting right down to simple lam
guage, the idea behind the move
ment is to settle the row by giving
the two principal feuders-Scott and
Schaub-a swift legislative kick in
the pants.
Those backing it think its a good
idea: but other bright ideas on the
same subject have completely failed
to bring any peace and harmony.

Mr.. Broughton gave no inkllng at

if any. could be eliminated or con-
Solidated.
Just on another bunch, your re
porter ventures the prediction that
if any really serious move is made
toward eliminating or consolidating

have clogged the seaways to Oslo
and forced Germany to depend upon
her air ferries.
