clients, and is credited with
knowing his way around" AS
matter of fact, Long is already
doing reliminary work on the
Scott legislative program as it
will be resented in his inaugur-
al address and his first message
to the general assembly. The
big job of the legislative coun-
sci is to get support of the exec
utive program as the session
moves along. The post was held
by H. P. Taylor in 1945 and by
Brandon P, Hodges in l947. Tay-
lor was elected lieutenant gov
ernor and Hodges was elected
state treasurer last week.
Accreditatlon-One of the rea-
sons offered in support of re-
quests for tremendously increas-
ed appropriation for state edu-
cational institutions is desire
for accreditation by the proper
authorities. 1t is perhaps pos
sible for good student to learn
as much in non-credited insti-
tuition, but the diploma doesn't
rate as high. Standards set by
college associations and by pro-
fessions require minimum labor
atory, library and facultyrating
for accreditaticn. In many cases
the North Carolina schools
fall below these minimum re-
quirements, and in others they
are barely met.
Short-Two instances serve to
illustrate the point for all. The
school Of journalism at Chapel
Hill and Il school of design
architecture mad landscaping) at
State College are seeking ac-
creditation. To gain such recog-
milton, they must have more
money for equipment, working
space, libraries and faculty SAL
aries.

Washington, Nov. 10-(AP)-
Government aid to education is
one of the problems the new
Congress has to tackle In 1o4o.
Such aid would mean giving
federal money to the states to
help them educate grammar and
high school children.
The new Congress may ap-
prove, although the idea has
been batting around a long time
without getting anywhere.
This year, with the Repub-
licans in control, it passed the
Senate, backed by Senator Taft
of Ohio. But the house Repub-
licans let it die.
President Truman has plugged
hard for it. You can expect
him to plug harder next year
with his Democrat running
Congress.
For 80 years bills to give such
help have been offered in Con-
gress in growing numbers.
Why?
On the grounds that some
states are SO much poorer than
others that they can't afford
money for a fair education for
their children
One of the main points in the
argument against giving such
help is this: sooner or later it
would give the federal govern
ment power to dictate the ma
Haa's educational system.

NARROW
Government Aid To Education Is Big
Problem New Congress Will Tackle
There's another question:

There's another question:
Besides helping the public
grammar and high schools
should any of the federal money
20 to private or religious schools
in the states?
There's been strong support
for doing that, and strong op-
position to it. All the argu-
ments. and there are many have
gone on a long time.
The Taft bill. passed by the
Senate, tried to reach . COM
promise on some Of them. II
may be the model for what Con-
gress does in 1910.
For example: the Taft bill
doesn't bar private or religious
schools outright from receiving
any Of the federal money. But
They couldn't receive 4 cent
unless, under the law Of an In.
dividual state receiving the snon-
ey, such schools were receiving
state help already.
As for government control, un.
der the Taft bill the govern
ment could not tell the states
what to teach In their schools.
The government would merely
act a. 4 kind Of bookkeeper to
see that the money was distri-
butsd by financial formuIsr.
Under the bill the states would
receive $500. .000. 900, At least at
the start, - hslp than give their
children . better education !.

Alibi-While most of the big
time pollsters and politicians are
trying to alibi out of the mess
the election put them in, at least
two Raleigh business men are
meeting the issue squarely. j.
Elvey Thomas hands who come
into his floral shop printed
statement addressed to the
press, radio and his friends, and
saying: II made one helluva
miscalculation." Sim Wells, a
real estate man, carries around
a typewriter card and before
his friends can start kidding him
he shows it. The card reads:
You are looking at a damn
fool" Both men say this pro-
cedure doesn't make crow taste
good, but it does make eating
possible. They are having
good time.
Counsel-Rumors current for
several weeks that Governor
Kerr Scott would name J. Ell
mer Long as his legislative coun-
eel have been confirmed. The
60-year-old Durham attorney is
no stranger around legislative
halls. He served in the house
of representatives in 1911 n d
1918. and was lieutenant COVER
nor with Mclean from 1925 to
1929. Between times he had
functioned as private secretary
to the late Congressman Sted-
man of the fifth district. Al
though his official connection
with the general assembly end

president of the senate in 1929,
he has appeared before legisla-
tive committees in practically
every session since In behalf Of

Observers Say Communists Present
Purpose Is To Bankrupt The U. S. A.

The purpose of present Communist strategy, in
relation to the United States, according to OBJ
servers is effort to lure the United States into
excessive expenditures in the hope hat eventual
bankruptcy will stop our interest in foreign affairs.
These is doubt but that the United States is
spending immense sums of money. The national de-
fense establishment is expected to require from fiji
ton, the Economic Cooperation Administration will
need from three to five billion and there is also talk
of peace-time Lend-Lease program to cost between
and three billion dollars.
Certainly, if the United States attempts to fl
nance the world in campaign against Communism,
it will have to spend immense sums of money. This
means that there is little chance of tax reduction in

down his popular vote from

this was goose-bone prophecy.

med the White House door for
ever in his own face by calling
President Truman a rude, un-
couth, ignorant man." True, he
thought the better of it after
sleep, but his scared statemen
that he had not authorized quo
tation of his remarks was nei-
ther truthful nor extenuating.
Dan Tobin, the doddering king
of the teamsters, and his regent,
Dave Beck of Seattle, were e.
qually at loss and missed the
bandwagon. John L. Lewis had
been at war with Truman for
years so this was only another
proof that his authority ends
when the miner votes.
This bring us to the fact that
the miscalled labor vote still
flouts the orders of the union
bosses and the alarms of candi-
dates. There is theory afloat
that labor vote" elected Mr..
Truman in response to his un-
blushing recitation of all the for

the voters showed extraordinary

Here are a few outstanding

Christian A. Herter and

Jim Patterson, Republican, OF

course, despite their philosophi-

She had to write it. Truman

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10
President Truman's election IN
his own right is a body blow to
Stain, despite the Missourlan's
sneaking liking for Uncle joe
and despite campaign charges
that the Administration had
harbored Communists who crept
into key offices during the
Russo-American wartime al
lance.
The Soviet propaganda agents
here and abroad were prepared
to interpret a Dewey victory, al
belt wrongly, as reputation OF
the Truman Marshall doctrine
and program.
Although political enemies
have accused the White House
of wavering in the conduct OF
foreign affairs, especially with
respect to Russia, China and
Palestine, the Kremhn cannot
and does not forget that, break
ing from the Roosevelt policy.
Mr.. Truman and Secretary Mar
shall authored and implemented
the program for rehabllltatlng
anti-Communist countries in the
Mediterranean and western
European areas, for rearming
the United States and for en-
circling Russia with a ring OF
armed foes from Scandinavia to
Korea.
FOREIGN Even Trumanites
admit that the President hand
led foreign problems with his
eve on the November 2 political
returns. They note, too, that
he is not the first Chief Execu-
tive to realize that many MIL
lions of voting Americans have
economic and blood ties, mystic
but compelling, with their kin
and friends across the seas.
Now that he owes possession
of the White House to nobody
but himself, Mr.. Truman is ex-
pected to take even greater COM
mand of the handling OF for
eign affairs.
In doing so, he will probably
get rid of Secretary Marshall
and Under Secretary of State
Lovett. Although an excellent
soldier, Mr.. Marshall is no great
shakes as a diplomat. Both he
and Mr.. Lovett embarrassed the
President at critical moments
during the campaign.
CONTROLLED 1t is also doubt
full whether the so-called BIZ
partisan foreign policy will sur
vive the Republican debacle. 1t
was built and represented as a
bipartisan affair only because
Republic ans controlled the
House and the Senate, with
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg
of Michigan and Representative
Charles A. Eaton OF New Jersey
heading the Senate and Rouse
committees which deal with
these issues.
Now, those committees are
chairmaned by such loyal, un-
questioning Democrats as Tom
Connally Of Texas and Sol
Bloom Of New York.
INSTINCTS Despite his po-
litical handling of foreign mat
tiers during the last few months,
Mr.. Truman's instincts and i'm
pulses are good, honest and
democratic. When he Gusts few
"brass hats" and hidebound dip
lomats in the State Department
and abroad, he will probably
pursue these general policies:
