A democratic economy, responding to
the free choice of the consumer, can
operate if competitive, flexible selling
prices are based upon competitive, f1ex-
ible wages. A free market makes both
selling prices and wages flexible A
totalitarian economy based on central
lied dictation can function, though serv-
ing the consumer less effectively, because
rigid monopolistic wages are imposed
along with rigid monopolistic selling
prices. The State sets both selling
prices and wages. But no economy of
any sort can function if selling prices
are competitive, free and flexible and
wages are noncompetitive, monopolistic
and rigid.
Can we accomplish the aim of miti-
eating unemployment and depressions
by means of flexible wage? With
craftsmanship in labor and government
we can. The qualities of statesmen are
foresight, social inventiveness and cour-
age. Original and creative legislation
could provide special incentives to
unions and to corporations adopting
proft-sharing and flexible wages.
The rule of biological life is: Adjust
or die. Many species that could not
adjust have become extinct Social in
stitutions also become extinct, and even
civilizations.
If labor unionism is to survive, it
must cooperate with employers and
with government in preventing or check
ing violent economic fluctuations which
threaten democratic society. Else union
ism will fail and the American Republic,
the last stronghold Of free men, may be
destroyed. Its permanence Is neither
inevitable nor guaranteed. Other re-

'1t is wonderful to be the win
ner of a $4,000 prize" DR.. E. F.
Motely, Jr., Charlotte dentist,
who will be presented a check
for that amount here Tuesday
night by Governor R. Gregg
Cherry at the second annual
SECNBA fishing rodeo banquet
said last night.
"But." he added, II have been
besieged by hundreds of tele-
phone calls from bond statesmen
and other salesmen." The young
dentist said that he supposed he
was rated as Number one on the
sucker parade"
"Why those people want to
sell me everything from a new
fishing rod to a new dentist
chair" he said.
DR.. Motely said he would ar
rive in Wilmington late Monday
night or early Tuesday morning.
II will stay at the Cape Fear
Hotel, as l always do and I ex-
pect to get in some surf fishing
and a couple of hours from the
pier before I return to Charlotte" !"
He said he would bring his wife
with him.
When asked about the prize
winning sailfish, DR.. Motley
laughed an dreplied. "When I
got home with it, my wife would
not let me have 1t mounted to
keep in the house." he said she
told him that if he had it mounted
he would have to build an extra
room on the house.
DR.. Motley said he tried to
give the large sailfish, which at
that time ne didn't know was
worth $4,000, to several sporting
goods stores in Charlotte. "None
of them wanted it and none
would have it mounted. he said.
After keeping the sail IN cold
storage for several days, DR.. Mot
ley said in order to get rid of it
he gave it to the Negro janitor
at the Professional building in
Charlotte.
1.-THE Negro janitor told me it
was a good fish and that he
would cook and eat it." DR.. Mot
ley said. Several days later he
said the janitor told him it was
good eating"
He sure was surprised when

fish" DR. Motley said.

Squabble May
MarPCAM Meet
Arguments Expected At
Chicago Meeting OF Pro
Golfers Today

DALLAS, Nov. l6 -R-Those
two terrific Texas golfers, Little
Ben Hogan and Tall Byron Mel
son, have divergent attitudes on
the internal squabble that
threatens to split the PGA wide
open.
Hogan says he's going to be
right in the big middle of the
Monday at the PGA's
convention at Chicago. Nelson
declares he wants no part of it
won't be a participant on eth
er side; in fact, won't even at
tend.
AS a result of Beltin' Ben's
determination to obtain a show
down on accusations that he IS
aligned with Dick Metz and
Horton Smith as leaders IN a
movement to oust Ed Dudley
as president of the PGA, there
NAV be even more interesting
golf news at Chicago Monday
than came last winter when
Metz socked Fred Corcoran,
then PGA tournament manager.
Ben, at Fort Worth, said for
the fourth time Corcoran, now
PGA promotion director, has
deliberately done him a disserv-
ice by planting highly unfav-
orable piece of publicly.
He referred to the linking of
himself with Metz and Smith in
purported move to get Dudley
out OF the PGA presidenc - a
movement which has been ac-
cused of using "poison pen"
tactics with a barrage of anony-
NOUS postcards.
Ben said he was positive Cor
coran started both that story
and one about his being sore
about Nelson playing on the Ry-
der Cup team.
"Both insinuations are utter
ly false" Hogan said. 81 have
no interest in the politics of the
PGA - am neither for nor
against any candidate for office.
l have had no part in knowl-
edge of the postcard campaign
and I think it is a cheap and
dirty method Of attack. The
statement that l am sore about
Byron being on the Ryder cup
team is malicious, mean and
ridiculous. On the contrary, I
was very happy to see him on
the team, but above and beyond
any feeling of mine was the
rigid and fair point system that
automatically put him on tn e
team.
Hogan said he had telephoned
Corcoran in New York and
asked for a face-to-face meeting
IN Chicago Monday.
Nelson from his Roanoke,
Texas, farm where he has re-
tired from active golf competi-
ton, declared: he was 20 part
of any insurrection in the PGA
and that there were no grounds
to link him with either side of
the quarrel.
"It'u probably wind up in a
nice, peaceful meeting with
principal attention devoted to
setting up a better method of
financing our tournament an d
publicity bureaus" He said of
the PGA convention.
In New York Corcoran said
he had no comment to make on
Hogan's views.

If Duke wins, the Blue Devils,
perhaps not the clever, P 'werful
gridmen of pre-war days but still
a hard-fighting, scrappy football
club when the stakes are high,
will rack up another Conference
championship for Coach Wallace
Wade.
Should North Carolina triumph
and the Tar Heels undoubted-
ly will be favored - the boys
coached by crafty Carl Snavely
won't get anything, in all prob
ability, out of their accomplish
ment except a lot of satisfaction.
A Carolina victory likely
would hand the 1947 league
crown to William and Mary's
Indians, a team the Tar Heels
edged early in the season, 1877.
William and Mary, which ran
roughshod over Washington and
Lee in the mud at Roanoke,
Va, yesterday, 45-6, rested in
second place with six triumphs
in seven loop contests.
Of course, William and Mary
would need to beat the Univer-
sity of Richmond in their tradl-
tional Thanksgiving day game
at Richmond to sew up the
bunting for positive, but that
task should be only formality
for the Spiders have won only
three in nine outings.
William and Mary takes time
out from conference play for
the second time this season Sat-
urday afternoon to entertain an
"outsider''- r''-State University of
Bowling Green, Ohio, in test
at williamsburg, Va.
In addition to the Duke-North
Carolina fray, only one other
contest involving conference
foes will be played this week.
this being a tilt between David
son and The Citadel at Charles
ton, S. C, which will have no
bearing on deciding the flag
winner.
The top battle outside the
southern loop will bring togeth-
er Virginia's once-defeated Cav
