Last week end it was, raining
angoras and airedales in Mt.
Kisco, and so l decided to catch
up on some books that had been
piling up around the house.
Trying to live dangerously,
huh," chided my missus. 49,.
Forty hours and six packs of
cigarettes later, I had plowed
through 7-count 'em-7 of the
new books and, if 1 may muscle
into the literary department for
few minutes, here's how they
hit me;
l. "Larks in the Popcorn" is
happy libel on suburban life. 1t
was written by a Westchester
neighbor of mine-H. Allen
Smith, and H. Allen, as all and
sundry must know by now, has
handed the populace almost as
many laughs as his namesake,
Fred.
Westchester County, as Smith
details it, is a strip of territory
inhabited by city slickers who
have decided to rough it with
radiant faces and radiant heat
ing. Popcorn" is as gay as a
Santa Claus suit, and no night
table should be without it.
2. "The Saroyan Special" is a
fattish anology of the best
short stories written by the
Great Man himself-and when
use the phrase "great man" I'm
not kidding. Wild Will, as I.
see him, is one Of the few fell
lows writing today whose index
cards are worth the space they
take up in the libraries and, if
you think I'm laying it on too
thick, reread his magnificent
short-short, "The Daring Young
Man on the Flying Trapeze."
Unfortunately for the Fresno
Flash, however, he's a specta-
cular fellow, and people these
days are so busy relating anec-
dotes about him that they're apt
to forget how good he really is.
The 90 stories in 1.-THE Saroyan
Special are a proper and
timely reminder.
3. Westward Hal" by Prof.
S. ]. Perelman, illustrated by
Hirschfeld, is triumph of cliche
over matter, and easily the fun
niest travel book since Sterne's
Sentimental Journey" At the

Scott Is Faced With Appointments
To Several Major State Commissions

APPOINTMENTS - Besides
the full time salaried admins
trative positions to be filled by
executive appointment, Cover
nor Scott will have thirty or
more members of important
boards and commissions to ap-
point within the next few
months. In the full-time salaried
group to which appointments
are the sole prerogative of the
governor are included an assis-
tant director of the budget,
chairman of the highway COM
mission, revenue commissioner,
paroles commissioner, chairman
of the ABC board, director of
conservation and development
director of purchase and con-
tract, chairman of the employ
sion, chairman of the rural elec-
trification authority and burial
association commissioner. Other
full time appointive jobs include
members of the utilities and in
dustrial commissions. Governor
Scott has said he will ask for
authority to appoint a personnel
director, separating that func-
ton from the uoget office.
EXPIRATIONS - Terms of
all incumbents in the single per-
son positions expire between
January l and July /. Besides
these individual appointments,
the governor is required by law
to approve selection of several
other important officials whose
primary appointment is vested
in board, or commissions. There
are two expirations on multiple
membership groups. The term
of Fred Hunter as utility COM
missioner expires February l
and that of Buren Jurney on the
industrial commission expires
May l. Other members of these
quasi judicial commissions go
over to next year or beyond.
COMMISSIONS - Almost as
widely sought after and in many
respects as important as the full
time jobs are places on some of
the ordinance making boards
and commissions. Membership
on most of these is staggered so
that only few new members
can be named at one time, ex.
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-12-22

cept in event of legislative re-
vision of the set up. Such
changes will not be surprising in
some cases where the new gov
ernor is known to disapprove
methods and practices followed
by the boards in the past.
EDUCATION - The state
board of education Is composed
of three ex-officio and ten ap-
pointive members. Terms of
three appointees end on April l.
They are Horace Stacy of Lum-
berton, Sanford Martin of Win
ston-Salem and Alonzo Edwards
of Hookerton. Edwards place
will be vacated January 5 when
he takes his seat in the legisla-
ture as representative from
Greene county,.
HEALTH g. The state board
of health is composed of nine
members, four named by the
state medical society and tive
appointed by the governor for
six year terms. OF the five ex-
ecutive appointees three come
up for re-appointment (or re-
placement) on April /. They are
DR.. Hubert Haywood of Raleigh,
DR.. James o. lJolan Of Kannap.
oils and DR.. Paul Jones Of
Farmville. The statute requires
that Of the governors appoin-
tees at least one shall be q dem
tist and one a pharmacist. There
is no statutory prohibition q
gainst lay membership, and OPP
inion prevails that Governor
Scott may name dairyman or
a food producing farmer in
place of one of the medicos. DR..
Jones is the dentist member and
j. c. Jackson Of Lumberton is
the carry over pharmacist.
HOSPITALS - The state hos
pitfalls board of control has fit
teen members appointed by the
governor for four !. year stag
gered terms. Six members will
G out Of office on April /, un-
less reappointed. These are: Dr..
Yates Palmer of Valdese, Fran

Rivers johnson Of Warsaw and
Mrs. Andrew Blair Of Charlotte.

Washington, Dec. 20--It is the
considered opinion of ALF M.
Landon, the Well-knoWn forgotten
man, that the decline of the Unit
ed States began when the people
lost their ancient respect for two
pair. This is fetching theory.
Like the cops and parental autho-
rlty, two pair once were defied
only at risk. Mr.. Landon puts
the time about 1886, the year the
people passed up a chance to
hire him to put them back to
work at useful jobs, chase Flea
nor Roosevelt down the road with
her cult of political neurotics. re-
pulse the Communists and keep
the country out of war. Those
who call this an affront to a great
and gracious lady who is con-
secrating her life to mankind,
l warn that in some future gen.
Grafton, mourners for our vanish
ed estate will desecrate with pa
gan ritual the graves of editors
who disguised moral cowardice
as gallantry and excessive good
taste.
It is a curious fact that Mr..
Landon's greatest single act, or
decision, was of negative
character once he had been de-
feated in the landslide of 1886
which gave Jim Farley such
empty pride of prophecy. AS the
war Redeemed and as Winston
Churchill, by his own boast, toll
ed and plotted to get us into it,
Mr.. Roosevelt tried to entice in
to his cabinet both Landon and
Frank Knox, the Republican
ticket of 1886, and scuttle the op-
position party. Knox, vain and
silly oaf. agreed with Landon to
spurn all trinkets but broke his
word ere cock-crow and never
dared face ALF again. Three
days before Pearl Harbor he bab-
bled "the Navy is ready" and
while 5000 dead Americans were
entering the earth or bobbing on
the water, Knox covered behind
Roosevelt's directive" to Jus
tice Roberts to investigate ode
reflections" of Navy and Army Of
ficers but not the guilt of civil
lians in Washington.
Mr.. Landon might be allowed
some hatred of those who scof-
fed him off. However, he con-
fines himself to a small needle
on our infrequent meetings, as
when he said on a recent night
of public rejoicing here, "how
goes your new deal now, my
friend?"
Topeka being in the zone
where fundamental American
faith found It's last refuge, Mr..
Landon has been depressed to
learn that Jesse Jones, of Hous-
ton, played Seven-Toe. Pete,
proclamation of a precious .Ameri-
can institution. Pete is initiation
ary stud-poker, played with four
cards up and three in the hole
and often with four cards wild.
1t is only one Of many corrup-
tions which Mr.. Landon abhorr-
ed. There are other depravities
called spit in the ocean, up and
down the river, Hi-Lo, one card

Tucker Truman Makes First Move In Probe OF AmyS German Rule
Charges Made Certain Civilians Are
Feathering Nests In German Occupation

sides foreign purchases of wea-
pons here, he said, it was in 1910
that Franklin D. Roosevelt made
the United States an arsenal Of
democracy"
ASSERTION "What do you
mean?" snapped Senator O'Ma.
honey. II notice that you liked
the New Deal so much that both
your recent presidential candi-
-Willkie and Dewey-sup-
ported it. You even endorsed it
in your 1910 and 1914 platforms.
And you have never tried to re.
peal New Deal laws"
Eyes, they did," chimed in
Mr.. Patman. "They repealed
the Wagner Act by passing the
Taft-Hartley Act. But last month
the voters repealed the GOP!"
However, nobody challenged
Senator Flanders original asser-
ton.
PURGE President Truman will
attempt no purge" of Dixiecrats
on Capitol Hill because his Con-
gressional scouts have informed
him that reprisals would destroy
party solidarity and create q leg
islative stalemate that would dis
credit his Administration in the
eyes of the public. He will not
even try to discipline Senator
Glenn H. Taylor Of Idaho, Henry
A. Wallace's running-mate and a
vicious White House critic.
The White House representa-
tives at the eastern end of Penn
sylvania Avenue - National
Chairman j. Howard McGrath
and Leslie Biffle, director Of the
Policy Committee-realize that
almost every Southern member
secretly sympathized with the
anti-Civil Rights faction, even
though they did not break openly
with the party.
Any move to chastise the out
right rebels would antagonize
half the Democratic membership
of the Senate and at least one
third of the men in the House.
PROMISES Democrats from
Dixie will control most of the
major committees, and they will
hold majority of the committee
chairmanships. But they would
lose the influence which their
seniority gives them if Thur
mond-Wright supporters were
denied committee seats, or if
Southern voting power. were
weakened by packing the commit
tee seats, or if Southern, voting
power were weakened by pack
ing the committees with North
ern, pro-Truman Democrats.
Both devices have been suggest
ed as means of minimizing the
South's influence in Congress.
Senator Taylor cannot be
singled out for punishment if
anti-Truman members from other
sections are admitted to the fam
lily without chatisement. Some
body would be sure to note the
discrepancy if the Idahoan were
dog-housed and a score of Dixie
Gratis allowed to escape disciplin-
ing.
Lastly, the Democrats will
have enough dogfights over the
Presidents attempt to fulfill all
his campaign promises, without
looking for unnecessary, intra-
party feuds.

WASHINGTON, Dec. %
President Truman has made his
first overt move to check up on
the Army administrators rule in
Germany, and to investigate
charges that certain civilian
higher-ups in the military de-
partment are feathering their
own nests by extending favors to
prewar industrial associates in
the former enemy country.
Several members of the Fed
eral Trade Commission, which
polices the enforcement of anti
monopoly and anti-cartel laws,
have quietly gone abroad within
the last week. They departed so
suddenly and so stealthily that
some of the key members of the
agency have not yet learned of
their mission.
ALLEGATIONS These experts
will examine seized documents to
support or discredit allegations
that American and British firms,
through arrangements with Ger
man steel, aluminium and chemi-
cal corporations, helped to rearm
Hitler in the years before the
invasion of Poland. Some of this
country's most prominent indus
tries have been mentioned in this
connection.
The ETC men will also check
on reports that the military au-
thoritles here and overseas have
shown favoritism toward certain
corporations in their dismantling
program. According to still un-
verified charges, plants which
were essential units in German
American cartels are being SPAR
ed, while factories not tied up
in these alleged international
monopolies are being. destroyed
or shipped to this country.
INio4 4lAISA,
minded Senator Ralph E. Fland-
ers of Vermont provoked a minor
riot on Capitol Hill recently when
he ventured to suggest that it
was "Hitler's war rather than
New Deal reforms" which really
brought an end to the 1929-1939
depression.
The quiet Yankee was amazed
that his haphazard statement al
most gave apoplexy TO such zeal
Gus Democrats as Senator o.
Mahoney of Wyoming and Repre-
sentative Wright Patman of
Texas.
A CIO economic expert set the
stage for the blowup. In testify
ing before the Joint Economic
Committee studying corporation
profits, he voiced the need for
another pay boost, as well as en-
ployers' ability to finance raises,
by comparing 1910 wages with
the 1913 scale. Using that basis,
he maintained that profits had
increased far more than wages.
But why" interjected Mr..
Flanders, "do you not use the
19391946 wage figures as a basis
for your comparison"
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-12-22
PROSPERITY

PROSPERITY The CIO
spokesman pointed out that such
a contrast would be unfair to the
labor viewpoint because both
wages and profits did not begin
to soar until after Hitler's con-
quest of the Low Countries and
his blitzkrieg over England. Be-
