D. s Point Of High rsn
speaking:
IF he lives until next January, your fell
low townsnan and distinguished citizen,
Robert Gregg Cherry, will be the next
governor of North Carolina.
"Thirty-six years ago Gregg Cherry and
l rode away together on a train out of
this county of our nativity to old Trinity
College at Durham, he to become law
yer and leader, and to become minister
and servant.
''The years passed and twenty-seven
years later our paths crossed again when
I became pastor of Gastonia's Main
Street Methodist Church and found
Gregg Cherry serving as an active men,
Der of that church and a member of it's
official board. For six years we worked
together jointly in that church with the
finest of fellowship and cooperation, I'M
til I moved on to another pastorate
"Today, thirty-six years since that day
we left for college on the train together,
Gregg Cherry and meet again on the
same platform, he as your most distin-
guished citizen and leader, and am pres
ent as friend to speak word of en-
dorsement of his success and glorious
achievement.
Gregg Cherry grew up here in this COM
munity as an orphan, reared by his
grandparents and uncle, over on Airline
avenue Snong the common people, with
out wealth and social standing, without
the luxuries to which others were accus-
toned. He helped work his own way
through school and college. He came
home to take his place in his home COM
munity as lawyer.
Gregg rose by dint of hard and labori-
GUS effort. He was called away early in
the development of his law practice to
fight his nations battles in World War
One on foreign shore. For many
months he led his men on the BATTLE
fronts in Europe, facing day and night
the hail of German bullets and the burst
Of shells which seemed to have no ending
At last, home again after the war, he
took up his work in private and public
life, becoming mayor Of Gastonia, men,
Der of the General Assembly, Speaker of
the House and serving in numerous 9TH
er important capacities.
Gregg Cherry stands higher today in the
knowledge Of North Cardinals affairs
than any other citizen. There is no one
today anywhere more able to carry on
the work of Aycock and Vance, of Morri-
son and Gardner, of Hoey and Brough-
ton and our other leaders of previous and
present administrations than our friend
and fellow worker, Robert Gregg Cherry.
ITO him no man is stranger. To the
poor man at his labor the rich man in
his business life, the minister in his pull
pit and the culprit standing before the
bar in court awaiting sentence, to all
groups and classes, parties and religions,
Gregg Cherry will ho Tho Uraat common

Sorry, I can't hear you," came
from Smith.

With that the operator Clipped

Adding Ancestors

The number of our lineal an
cestors does not double with each
past generation as commonly be-
lieved. After the third or fourth
generation, the actual number il
progressively smaller than the pos
sible number, owing to the inter-
marriage of kin.
For example, in the past ten
generations, or 300 years, the pos
sible number of ones ancestors II
1924, but the actual number II
only 800 to 400.

LOCAL REPUBLICAN REvOLTS

Regardless of how they feel about Roosevelt and Dewey, several state elections are attracting attention because local Republicans refuse to vote for their own candidates Here are some of the COP rebel lions:
 ILLINOIS-O Where many Re- publicans are turning thumbs down on week-kneed COP senatorial can- didate Richard J. Lyons and have openly come out for Democratic Senator, Scott Lucas, who has had an outstanding record in Congress. Some Republican leaders have even organized a committee to boost Lucas against Lyons.
 ILLINOIS-t2) Where many Re- publicans can't stomach COP Rep resentative- -at-large Stephen Day, the Congressman who sent tele- gram of congratulations to Hitler after he came into power in 1883, and later wrote a book published by the Nazi-subsidiZed publishing house Flanders Hall. Day is being opposed by Mrs. Emily Taft Doug las, daughter of sculptor Loredo Taft and wife of Professor Paul Douglas, now with the Marines in the South Pacific.
 NEW YORK = Where Congress- man Ham Fish has been repudi- ated by Gov Dewey and where the Republican candidate in the primaries, Gus Bennett, is now running against Fish on the Demo- cratic ticket
 PENNSYLVANIA = Where many Republicans are organizing against COP Congressman Wolfenden in the Eighth District. For many years this district, which includes Su- burban Philadelphia, was represent ed by the father of Gen. Smedley D. Butler, who as Chairman of the Naval Affairs Committee, helped build up the United States Navy Now Eighth District Republicans are represented by a man whom no one has ever heard of in Con- gress and who went duck-shooting on the day the United States de- clared war against Germany. Many GOPers therefore are now working for Democratic Candidate Lieuten- ant Vernon O'Rourke, a former Swarthmore College professor now in Italy.

SAVINGS

There is explosivey inflationary potential in the accumulated savings of the American public. These amounted in 1943 to about 38 billion dollars, as compared with mere four billions in 1940. And the most recent SEC figures indicate that individuals are continuing to save at very high rate in 1914. Liquid savings amounted to 93 billion dollars in the first quarter of this year and to 88 billions in the second quarter breakdown of the latter figure shows that Government securities formed the largest component-3.6 billions-with cash and deposits at almost the same level-3.4 billions
 Like cash, Government savings bonds are highly liquid form of investment, convertible into currency almost at will But they less likely than cash to be expended careessly, and it seems clear that the Treasury ought to be getting higher proportion of current savings than it has been getting in the war bond form For individuals should begin recklessly to employ the vast purchasing power now at their disposal while the scarcity of consumer goods con- tnues to prevail they will inevitably send prices sky rocketing and consequently dilute the real value of the funds they have set aside It is in this possibility

MT. NelsOn's Retirement
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer
 It is unfortunate that Donald Nelsons exit from the War Production Board couded by so great smoke screen-for that apparently was what the trip to China and the Presidents various remarks the Nelson status were designed to be. Why MT. Roosevelt couldn't have said simply and honestly that there were other plans for the WIPE head and that his period of especial service to the production agency had ended, do not know However, this case was not unusual The President seems to enjoy operating in that manner.
 MT Nelson had done good piece of work in a particularly important office. Had he retired Tn a normal fashion the proper tribute would have been paid his accomplishments Under the circumstances, however few observers commented on the service MT Nelson had given They too busy commenting on the political aspects of his resignation.
 A businessman of high calber and broad exper- fence, the WIPE Chairman brought to Washington qualities which were badly needed; qualities which were particularly vital to the success of the WIPE. That the board made errors under his admln1stra- tion we do not deny. Neither do we deny that It was often cumbersome and often overapped the duties of other agencies particularly the OPA But in all it's accomplishments magnificent. To 1t can be attributed much of the success of our arms and much of the success of wartime civilian economy
 MT Nelson the President says, will be moved into new post of major importance" That IS an end to be desired for if the chief problems of producing for war now have been solved certainly the problems of producing for peace are arising to baffle again Mir Nelson can continue to serve his nation un- selfishly and intelgently And the nation hopes he will be asked to do so.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-10-28

that the most serious danger of imitation lies
 The protection against it must be a continuation of wartime economic contros-rationing allocations of scarce materials, wage and price ceilings-until reconversion to peacetime production can be accom- pshed Abandonment of these controls when the European phase of the is ended would be dis astrous the production of civilian goods will be nowhere near proportionate to the immense pent-up demand liable to be released We cannot celebrate victory with one hand and fight war in the Pacific with the other.
 If the tremendous savings of the American people are held by them until genuinely needed and if they are then expended judciousy, they can prove of immense value in warding off the unfortunate sort of deflaton which struck this country in 1920 and 1921 as an aftermath of World War I. They rep resent a backlog of purchasing power which should be invaluable during reconversion and once peace time production has again gotten under way Indeed, if conserved until the proper tme they should do much to promote employment and assure economic stability They are a great national asset. It is vitally important to guard against the premature dissipation.

applauded, took a seat at the side of the stage. Shortly thereafter a Catholic priest delivered the invo- cation, whereupon harried news paperman in the Dewey entourage leaned over the press section and stage-whispered to Donnell:
 Hey, you, hop up and get me the name of the father who de- livered the invocation!"
 The Governor of Missouri meek ly obeyed. He got to his feet, went over and brought back the infor- nation to the correspondent.
 Several minutes later, Donnell rose again, was introduced to the crowd. Heart failure almost seized the reporter who had been order ing him around. After the meeting the reporter apologized Donnell re- piled:
 Its all right I wasn't doing anything anyway
