TROUBLE-The little city of
Greenville, down in Pitt County,
is being rocked by troubles at
Eastern Carolina Teachers Col
lege. Thousands of graduates of
this institution throughout the
State are worried, too, by the
turmoil at the old school. The
situation at ECTC has not been
happy for several years, but only
in recent months has the general
public known about the accusa-
tons and general back-biting that
have occurred ON and around the
campus.
The president of the college was
accused of using funds of the col
lege for his own gain. He was
exonerated by the trustees. The
force of public opinion against
him caused him to resign. He has
been indicted by the Pitt County
Grand Jury. Now six Of the lead
ing teachers at the college have
been released by the same board
that exonerated the president.
So Eastern Carolina has some
thing to think about this summer
besides the dry weather and the
tobacco crop.

is still some dissension among the

DANIELS-If you ever have a
really worthwhile project you
would like given attention by the
big boys in Washington, your best
bet for success is to get in touch
with Jonathan Daniels, who is
one of the Presidents assistants.
Daniels rates in the National Cap
ital, and when he speaks, vari-
GUS underling bureaucrats Jump
like a black snake" as one State
Official expressed it last week.
Recently the State Department
of Agriculture had some little
difficulty getting the ear of
Washington officials on an i'm
portant program. The matter
rode along for quite some time.
Finally, Daniels was contacted
and things started popping. The
boy really has power, IF the plan
is for the PEOPLE and not for
private business, and IF it is suf-
ficiently liberal to suit the Daniels
taste.

Pangborn Idea
Awards Announced

The first Pangborn Suggestion
Drive Contest of 1914 came to a sue
cessful conclusion last week, when
16 male employees were notified by
the committee in charge that their
ideas were judged worthy of adop-
ton by the company and that checks
were being made out to them
promptly for their initial payment
Ideas which result in a further saw
ing or profit to the corporation will
continue to pay increased returns to
the workmen who suggested them.
Two employees had two ideas
each accepted. They are ]. H. Grier
of the Inspection Department and
Charles Mellott of the foundry. The
others with one suggestion each are:
Oscar Spigler, expediting; r. F.
Eckstine, foundry foreman; Herman
D. Shank, foundry; Orville M. Ernst,
foundry; W.sD. Boone, police; r. H.
Smith, foreman pattern shop; Mar
vim F. Dietrich, machine shop; Milo
E. Thomas, sheet metal shop; De-

gle, clerk of foundry; NJ L. Reedy,
supervisor core room; P. M. Kline,
materials handling; Wi1liam A..
Shoemaker, receiving clerk; and
Bruce Meats, machine shop.
Types of suggestions submitted
contained ideas for eliminating use
less operations, grouping or COM
bining operations more effectively,
simplifcation of operations, method
improvements, new produc t i n
ideas, reduction of safety hazards,
and the savings of material, time,
labor, power, and floor space. One
of the unusual features of this drive
was the extra premium offered by
the management of the Pangborn
Corporation of $4,000 in War Bonds
to be drawn for by all the winning
contestants at the close of the drive.
Extra premiums were distributed by
G neral Superintendent Frank
Kaiss to Jerry Grier, Marvin Reedy,

born employees at an early date.

DURELY
L OLITICAL
BY BALLOT BOX

Last week / promised to tell you
the real story behind the nominal
ton of Daniel F. McMullen, of Cum
berland, (Democrat) for the Sixth
District Congressional seat, SO here
goes.
Although E. Brookes Lee was de-
cisively beaten in 1912, he still en-
tertains ideas of restoring himself
to power 1--WE all have our pipe
dreams) and he thought he saw an
opportunity in the 1914 Congress
sional elections.
His first plan was to get State
Senator Kimble to file against Glen
Beall in the Republican primary
and to get him to wage his fight on
the labor issue. The Colonel had it
all figured out c. l. o. leader Katz
was to go up to Cumberland and
speak on Kimbles behalf, the idea
being to get labor all worked up
for a knock-down, dragged-out fight
that would split the Republican par
ty wide open. In the meantime, the
Democrats would not nominate any
one for the Primary. the scheme be-
ing to cash in on the Republican
split, with candidate who would
be named after the Primary was
over.
But the best laid plans of even
politicians like Brookes Lee some
times go astray, and this one col
lapsed like an empty wheat sack
when Senator Ki1nble refused to
file.
The Colonel, even though he must
have known by that time that as
far as the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict was concerned, he was a dead
duck, refused to give up.
His next move was to try and in
duce Senator Funk, of Frederick, to
file. But Mr.. Funk, remembering
that back in 1912 Lee almost carried
the whole Democratic ticket in
Frederick to defeat, instead of com
ing up from Montgomery County
with $500 majority as he prom
Used, wisely declined to file.
BY now, Lee was running round
in circles, tearing his hair and NUT
tering, what to do! what to do!
Then he really had brain storm.
He remembered that there was an
old sore spot up in Allegany Coun-
ty that needed to be healed and
thereby hangs tale.
Up in Allegany County live the
McMullen Brothers (John and
David). The McMullens control the
Cumberland ewspapers and
Brookes Lee is grooming Attorney
General Walsh for governor, so what
could be sweeter.
Of course such little matters as
the fact that the McMullens' father
had backed David Lewis against
Lees father, or the fact that in the
fight for State Comptroller, McMul-
len senior was dropped in favor of
Lee, were to be silently buried, and
so Lee and his cohorts, with visions
of finally patching up the Demo
cratic ranks in this section of the
state, greeted the McMullens with
open arms and exclaimed: Danny
me bhoy! you're our candidate!"
But, judging from an article I
read recently in the McMullen pa
per, it doesn't look as if they have
swallowed the bait. But even if
they had it wouldn't matter much,
as from all can hear, Congressman
Beall is going to be reelected.
