PERSONhLl1iES.-The practical
politicians around capitol square talk
Il lot ab0u, principles ana ideas bu,
they know il is impossible 10 scpa-
rate these intIn9iblcS from PERSONAL
tiles. So there has been lot o!
interest in the individuals who made
up the Pt'ehurSt meeting and the
off. !al roster OF the G.. |. Democrat.
as organized there. Study OF per-
Sonal!ticS leads 10 diverse conllus-
ions. On the one hand. there i
belle: the organization cannot accom-
plish much: on the ether is the fear il
might and that results would not DC
IL line with traditional North Car
olina policies.
OFFICERS. - In the first place
Il is noted that nearly all OF the
attendants were commissioned Off
GERS III some branch Of the military
service: almost 10 complete cXc!us-
ion IF enlisted men. That is in di-
rect opposition 20 early American
Legion policy. and the Legion as
well as other old time veterans or
CARNATIONS has appealed to enlisted
men. Enlisted men will be sough'
a. members Of G. |. Democrats. bu,
the organization starts off largely
as an officers outfit.
INDIVIDUALS. - The political
attitude oi recognized leaders in the
movement is also al interest To en-
battlcd state eff! illdom. II is COM
monty understood hercabouts that
the PinchurSt meeting was arranged
by or at the instance OF Naync AL
bright Of Raleigh and John Lange
OF Carthage. AID they are regarded
as two of Mrs. RooScvclt's ravorite
chlldrcn because ui early New Deal
affiliations and activities.
ALBRIGHT. -- Because Of his Of
:lcIal position as head of the state
federal employment Albright gets
most attention. Lang is regarded as
certain appolntce as secretary to
Congressman {. Il. Dcanc of the
eighth district next January. but
curru'tly he holds no official posi-
tion. Some of the other state en-
p!oyccS around Raleigh ponder the
iecway accorded Albright for extra
Surricular activities. Although sub
Ject 10 the Hatch Act GederaD and
the merit system council (State). sup
posed TO trown severely upon politi-
cal activity, Albright has been ac-
tive since his return from military
service in the State Young Demo-
Gratis clubs and now is secretary and
lnurtn district OrgiI!Izcr for the c.
/. democrats - both intensely politi-
Ga! lie also is chairman of the State
Legion membership committee.
RESlGNATlON? - II is learned
on Whai Is believed to be good all
thorlty that Albright will soon re-
sign ms post as head of the en-
pIoymcn: service in order To- devote
.uil time 20 other activities. AS OF
TINS writing he is still employment
service chief.
