action, however, is tentative and
must be voted on at a meeting of
the club officials. The parleG is
scheduled to be held at Lumbertop
next Sunday, January IL.
The Recommendation to make
the change in the bylaws in re-
CARDS to the president was made
by L. c. Kerr, of Clinton. He sug-
gested that Lieut.. A. T. Moore be
chosen for the position. The board
had no authority to change the
rules and met only to revise the
laws for final adoption next Sun
day, it was pointed out.
Salary Set
The board also set the presi-
dents salary at $500 per year A
motion was made by l.. M. Pollock.
OF Wilmington, to pay j. E. l..
Wade a like amount for his serv-
ices during 1916. This motion did
not receive a second and was not
voted upon. Further discussion on
this matter is expected to take
place at the Lumberton parley.
n owners of the Smithfield
Leafs asked permission to transfer
their franchise to another club and
mentioned Whiteville as a possible
purchaser. The spokesman for the
Smlthfield club explained that his
club has an opportunity to enter
the Coastal Plains league and de-
sired to sell their Tobacco State
loop franchise.
The Coastal Plains league meet
ing is scheduled for Tuesday night.
WhitevilIe May Enter
The Smithfield spokesman said
Whiteville or Jacksonville could be
secured to replace them. However.
some of the directors were not in
favor of allowing the Smithfield
team to withdraw. Smithfield rep
resentatives said they would help
organize and sponsor the White
vile team if it was necessary.
zeb Harrington, of Sanford, made
a motion that the league be allow
ed five veterans next season. A
vote was taken and the motion
passed. Tim Murchison, represen-
ting the Lumberton club and a
scout for the Chicago Cubs, took
the floor and recommended the
loop follow the rules that had been
set by the National baseball asso-
citation, which provides for three
veterans on the roster. After much
discussion, Arthur Apple, of War
saw, asked for another vote. The
result of this second vote favored
Murchison's suggestion.
Allow Four Veterans
Harrington held the floor for owe
80 minutes arguing that his motion
had been passed and the body had
no authority to override it. The di-
r%ectors finally decided to compro-
mise and allow four veterans.
Each club director will investi-
gate the matter of veteran players
and discuss the matter further at
~Lumberton. Favoring the five vet
Grams were, Wilmington, Sanford,
and Dunn. Lumberton, Red Springs,
Warsaw, Smithfield and Clinton
opposed the motion to have five
players.
The officials also voted to adopt
the rcvisions of the National by
laws made at the Los Angeles
meeting. The salary limit was
agreed as So, 250 per month for
each club.

NEWS REVIEW
SIX MONTHS
HowLong No. Meat?

Amid a certain amount OF
weeping and wailing and less
gnashing of teeth than usual,
President Truman's program
involving meatless Tuesdays
and eggless Thursdays lum-
bered tentatively through it's
first week.
Even the most ardent optimist
could not call this phase Of the food
conservation drive to help Europe
an instantaneous success; however.
it might improve with time.
And it was in the handwriting on
the wall that there would be con-
siderable time, for administration
experts predicted that the days OF
voluntary self-denial would last for
at least six months.
President Truman himself has set
the dates for the interim emergency
aid to Europe campaign-from De-
cember l to March 31-although
that time limit was imposed spe-
cifically for the raising of $50 mil
lion dollars in cash. Regarding the
food conservation aspect, Charles
Luckman, head of the citizens food
committee, said ''Our only idea is
to do the job until it is done. No
time schedule has been set"
Secretary of Agriculture Clinton
Anderson was a little more definite.
He pointed out that conservation to
save grain might be necessary until
the winter wheat crop, now being
planted, begins to come in next
June and July. Then he offered a
faint hope with hollow ring:
"Meatless days are not in the pic
ture indefinitely" he said.

EDUCATION GOES HIGHER
Danger Seen in Rising Fees

That great old American institu-

showing signs of vanishing COM

after-truth soon may find it impos-

Recent surveys have proved that
universities are depending more and

which used to account for about
one-third of colleges income, now

Senator Taft
Persoylifes COP

OF course, it is more fun general
izing about generals than it is to
particularize about the prime con-
tenders in the candidates elephant
race to come. But, no matter how
much political dust some dark or
even chestnut roam stirs up later,
there are just two people the politi-
clans have to consider now. They
are Senator Taft of Ohio and Gov
ernor Dewey of New York.
I was standing with group out
side the executive offices of the
White House, waiting for the presi-
Dental press and radio conference
when genial human cloud, much
bigger than a mans hand, in fact
almost twice as big as most mems
bodies, appeared on the horizon It
was the politically astute and ardent
TAftite. Rep. Clarence Brown Of
Ohio.
The boys ragged Brown a
little about the Taft trip, but he
wasn't bit dOwn-hearted. Said
he: 1--WE didn't expect to bring
back a bunch of delegates. Taft
made votes for the Republican
party, and that means votes for
Taft" Despite Browns Opti-
miSm, some observers have felt
that although Taft did make
new friends, they weren't new
votes, for they were already
solid Republicans.)
Frankly, don't understand Taft
very well. There is no question
about his intellect or his intellectual
judgments. Nobody could ask for a
greater demonstration of political
skill on the legislative side than his
Arizona sun., 1947-10-24

record in the last congress reveals.
But that isn't all.
One of Taft's critics, fully cogni-
zant of the Republican policy lead
er's achievements, said that his in
tellectual judgments ran ahead Of
his practical application" of them.
I suppose the critic meant that for
all Taft's powers of reasoning,
scholarship and tremendous ability
to- acquire knowledge and weigh
facts, he sometimes appears to al
low his hereditary viewpoint rather
than his acquired conclusions to
guide his course. Taft is naturally
conservative-and sometimes, am
sure, he has been intellectually per-
Suaded as to the validity of certain
measures, but has been unable to
support those measures fully be-
cause of this inborn conservatism.
To those who know Taft even
more than casually, he is cool, rare
ly unbending. legalistic. He can

least sympathetic newsmen on his
recent trip admit, affable and ap-
proachable. Also, he has that on
many occasions so useful acquisi-
t1on, ESPECIALLY when chaperoning
bob-tailed flush), the poker face.
Even his smile, which if over
worked, becomes a bit rubbery,
doesn't always dispel this impress
sion. Although he inherited from his
father, William Howard Taft, a tre-
mendous capacity for hard work
and conservative point of view, he
lacks the robust geniality conveyed
by the Elder Taft smile and laugh.
Unfortunately, Robert Taft
hasn't that risible faculty to re-
lieve a certain aloOf remOteness
of manner and expression. He is
by no means a glamour-boy, and
he knows it. One time when Re-
publicans and Democrats were
gathered at some clambake in
New England, and the raiIlery
became little personal, Taft
challenged the Democrats to a
beauty contest. Senator Pepper,
who knows he has no claim to
pulchritude himself, immediate
ly jumped up to say: "I'm
paired with the senator from
Ohio"
Taft has some sense of humor,
even if he isn't famous for it. Per-
haps he absorbed it from his witty
wife. He stands six feet tall and he
isn't stout, although somehow or
other you seem to think of him that
way. He is still young-only So. O'm
sure that's young because it's ex-
actly my age.)
AS Representative Brown init
mated, Taft's speeches on his west
ern tour, almost entirely devoted to
the glorification of the Republican
party's record in the first session Of
the 80th congress, helped strengthen
the party. In fact, Taft generally is
