Coastal Plain Inland.

Coastal Plain Inland.
Inland lies the Coastal Plain,
where the traveller finds the Dutch
colonists at Terra Ceia, whose tulips
reach their blossoming peak in May;
and the turning of the rich earth for
planting peanuts, this year not only
important as confection, but q
necessity in our war effort for the
oil they yield, and tobacco and cot
ton. Here also are lakes, bordered
with cyprus and Spanish moss.
At the edge of the coastal plain
is Raleigh with its century -old Cap
ital, an architectural masterpiece
in native granite; Duke University
with its beautiful campus and gor-
geous gardens. and at Chapel Hill
is the University of North Carolina,
oldest State university in the Nation.
South of Raleigh are the Sand
hills, literally the land of the long
leaf pine, where in April vast peach
orchards greet spring with carpets
Of pink blossoms.
Travelling westward, the visitor
enters the Piedmont, where the
huge tobacco, textile and furniture
industries of North Carolina are
centered. and onward-North Caro-
lima extends nearly 500 miles-the
Blue Ridge Mountains rise out of the
setting sun.
Great Smokes in West.
In Western North Carolina, Mount
Mitchell, a State park, scars 1854
feet above sea level. The Blue Ridge
Parkway is completed to its base
from the Virginia line-a hundred
mile of highway atop a scenic won-
derland. Beyond Asheville. which
also was principal resort long be-
fore the motor age, lie the Great
Smoky Mountains. Here is the new
est National Park. Last season it
was visited by million and a quar-
ter people from every State and
many foreign countries.
In the Great Smokes is the Quail
la Reservation, home of the Eastern
band of Cherokee Indians, where
travellers do not have to leave high
ways to see the Indians in their
native haunts.

Price Administrator Leon
Henderson made that wisecrack
way back last June. 1t was fun

1t is deadly serious, bitterly
true, and today it is coming close
to applying to Leon Henderson

Almost six months ago to the

about being chewed up. I'm a

now, clawing at him to reduce
him to the status of a WORKOUT

all the resentment against ra-

and the defeat of the politicians
at the polls is being conferred not
on the war or the primary caus-

putting into effect these war
curbs on civilian life as it was

administrators are dependable,

Henderson philosophically six

STILL GOOD AT

Henderson recalls that before
he became a government official,
he used to make a living on

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTONe

still to come, he could Jest that
while he hadn't reached the ZEN
ith of his unpopularity. he could
report progress.
That is perhaps the most typi-
cal thing about Price Boss Leon
Henderson. He is utterly fear
less. He took the most thank
less job in the United States to-
day. His job was to resist price
increases. In order to do 1t he
had to ration automobiles and
tires and bicycles and sugar and
coffee and gasoline and fuel oil.
1t was thought that the Amer
lean people were so solidly be-
hind this war effort, that the
need for rationing these things
was so obvious to everyone, that
there could be no question about
accepting any inconvenience
necessary to help in winning the
war.
Just tell me what you want
me to dol" was the cry that was
supposed to be rising from ev-
cry good American all over this
broad land. "I'll dig bitches,
I'll peel potatoes, III scrub
floors-but hurry up and tell
me what you want me to do to
help win this war;"
The answer to that demand
was the word that civilians at
home would have to do without
new automobiles and tires and
ice boxes and such things, and
they'd have to get along on less
sugar and coffee and gasoline
and fuel oil, and later they'd
have to get along on less meat
and maybe butter and milk and
other things people in this coun-
try were used to having plenty
of. The Army and the Navy
needed these things to fight the
war.
1t all sounded very simple and
very easy.
CAN WE TAKE 1T?
When Leon Henderson was
wisecracking about personalities
in Washington it was the first
day of summer. Today is practi-
cally the first of winter-a win
ter that stretches ahead in
gloomy prospect. There will be
many cold homes, many meat
less meals, much inconvenience,
lot of suffering. And the signs
begin to point up that the Am
erican people can't take it.
We're yellow, even before the
first bomb has fallen on US.
We're mad clear through be-
cause we can't have two cups of
coffee and barely enough sugar
for the one cup. We're uncom-
Portable. And we're going to
get the big fat, bureaucratic So
and-so who caused all this, and
you know just who we mean.
Leon Henderson. So say the
politicians, the wolves of Wash
ington, who must have someone
to chew up because people back
home are beginning to complain.
Tying a can to Leon Hender-
son isn't going to do any good.
Putting a superintendent boss
over Leon Henderson won't do
any good. Henderson, Hender-
sons successors, superiors, sub
stitutes or subordinates will all
have to be responsible for the
same orders to ration the same
things Henderson has rationed
and more.
But personalities in Washing
ton are made to be chewed up,
like rubber bands and paper
clips. And when a mans influ-
ence is through, he gets out.
