Candidate Must Request
County Election Board
To Hold Second Primar5

The Consolidated Statutes Of
North Carolina, 6O45, provide
that a candidate who does not
receive enough votes to be
nominated in the first primary
and wants run-Off must
make such request in writing
within five days after the board
of election has canvassed the
vote and officially announced
the results.
Lacking this request, which
may be made either by the
leading candidate or the run
ner-up, the board of elections
will declare the leading candi-
date officially nominated.
This provision of the primary
law is cited to set at rest the
opinion understood to be held
by many persons in New Han
over that second primary is
essential in all cases where a
candidate is not nominated on
the first ballot.
In the case of the nomination
for the legislature, either j. @.
LeGrande-the leading candi-
date-or Robert Kerman-the
runner-up-must request a Sc
cond primary within five days
after the election board has
canvassed the results of Sat-
urday's balloting or no run-off
will be held.

Seems 7hereAre Some SIN iths In The Many

Navy officers report 1000 to
$4,000 incorrectly addressed
letters arrive in the Pearl Har-
Dor fleet postoffice every week.
Only IS per cent finally get to
the boys, the rest going to San
Francisco for new direction or
to the sender for more ade-
quate address.
When a member of the Air
Forces fails to leave a forward
Ing address, his letters may be
a year late, the report says.
1t takes approximately two or
three months to trace mail and
a man gets his mail in 80 per
cent of the cases before investi-
cation is completed, owl says.
Mail comes back faster be-
cause more air cargo space is

PREPARED BY US.

WASHINGTON, May 28-lR-
A new War Manpower commission
program intended to step up re-
cruitment of workers or priority
projects on a national basis has
been prepared and probably will
be announced within the next ten

garded as an indication that t h e
commission feels there will be no
national service legisla alton.
It's principal features, WHICH
manpower officials hope will dou-
BILE the number of recruits for jobs
wherever they exist, are under
stood to be:
1. Extension to the entire coun-
try and all male workers of the
commission priority referral plan
of recruiting workers through the
U. S. Employment service. The
plan is in effect now in only about
a dozen areas.
z. Establishment of manpoWer
priority committees in all the 1870
group one and two labor shortage
areas. They exist at present at
only about IS of the areas.
3. Extension of the employment
ceilings program to all group one
and two areas. Only about Is
areas are now participating.
Through broad extension of the
priority referral plan, the COM
mission hopes to channel addition
al thousands of workers through
the USES Exposing" them to OPP
pcrtunities to move from one part
of the country to another to take
jobs in critical labor areas. IN
der this policy, all male workers
seeking a job would clear through

age regions in order CT urgency Of !
