Candidates Show Faces AS
Political Pot Begins to Boil

The political kettle in Dicken-
son County, where folks take pol
itics seriously, has begun to SIM
mer. With the Democratic con-
vention set for February II, few
candidates are beginning to show
themselves and get acquainted
with the people. 1t can be conf
IDENTIFY stated that unless there Is
a change there will be a race for
each nomination. When the dele
gates have been chosen at the pre-
cinct mass meetings on February
3, the horse races will really be-
gin.
There is no noticeable activity
among the Republicans. The atti-
tude of the COP seems TO be one
of watchful waiting. That could
possibly mean the application of
the Roman strategy OF 'Divide
and conquer" One member of
the party who has been a candi-
date in the past opines that his
party will merely let the Demo-
Gratis fight it out among them
selves"
German B. Sutherland announc
ed this week that he was not
candidate for reelection. He stat
ed that his health would not per-
nit him to enter the campaign
ard that his decision was not sub
ject to change. He also said that
he was grateful for the support
he had received and was retiring
from active participation in poll
tics with the best of good will
toward everybody.
The week has brought forth a
multitude Of rUmors and grape
vine reports. 1t is understood
that the Republicans will have
caucus in ClintWood Saturday to
chart their course for the coming
year. Oakley Stanley, deputy sher
if and chairman Of the Ervinton
District Democratic committee,
has called a mass meeting at
Trammel Saturday night "to con
slider matters pertinent to the com
ing election"
The picture for the county SUI
pervisors is slowly taking shape.
1t is understood that Bill Martin
of the Blowing Rock community
is seeking the Democratic nomin
alton in the Willis District. The
name of F. L. Colley is also be-
ing mentioned for that post. In
the Clintwood District, S W
Deel, Democrat, and Fred Fetch
er, Republican, are reported to
be willing to carry the banner
of their respective parties.

Not all party workers have
sticky fingers. A precinct wheel
horse recently returned to his
county committee some campaign
money that was left over from
the election. Many comments,
none to the discredit Of this work
er, rise to mind; but perhaps they
were best not uttered.
The great game of politics has
more curious sides than one.
Some amateur and professional
Democrats were idly specializing
not long ago on the makeup of
possibly strong Republican coun-
ty ticket. They settled on slate,
all just in a gabfest and, of course
without any authority. Within
ten days, reports trickled in from
different points in the county that
the Republicans had more or less
definitely decided on the men
mentioned. Last week, the slate
was actually published as strong
possibility.
And then there is the innocent
who aspires for a nomination to
certain county office. He has
herd, he says, that one can make
the race on $500. Multiply that
figure by five or six, brother.
While dishing the dirt, we
might mention the dust is settling
on this town and the smog that
overhangs it. The streets are COW
cred with black dirt, and the
houses are dun and dingy, no
matter how freshly painted. Or
dinarily, one would think that a
town set out away from rail-
road or an industrial plant would
have a clean atmosphere. There
is surely a cause, or combina-
ton of causes, for this condition
AS to what they may be, we have
no answer. We can only wonder,
Highway officials probably
know that the section of Route
II between Georges Fork and
Lick Fork, especially that on Long
Fork, is wearing out again. This
winters deep freeze has been re-
peating the work done by h
freeze in the winter of 1947-48,
This suggestion is in order: If
the job were done better than it
was in the summer of 1948, the
road would last longer.

that we would resist any further

part that relates to the Phil

nomic blockade of China, there is
posed to an economic blockade of
China?
Gen. MacArthur-The recon-

it. So far as / know I don't know
what the Administration thinks
on it.

sarily.
Senator Lodge The state
ment has often been made, and
we have referred to it here, that
our troops in Korea are buying
time for us to get ready.
If that is true. do you not think
that we owe it to the heroic
sacrifice to our troops in Korea
to use the time that we, are buy
ing in order to get ready as quickly
as possible?
Gen. MacArthur.-I believe we
should make all possible prepara-
tions in the shortest possible time
Senator Lodge.-Would you say
that the success of our operation
in Korea had a direct bearing on
the future usefulness and vitality
of the United Nations?
Gen. MacArthur-I would say
it has the greatest-will have the
greatest possible effect.
Senator Lodge-Would you say
that If the United Nations is to
succeed and prosper in the future
that it is necessary that in cases
of aggression all the member ma
tions put UP manpower in pro-
portion to. their population and
not let just a few carry the whole
load?

police action? The second part
of that same question is how long
did that police action, if there was
a police action continue until war
in Korea began? =. I ask for
clarification from you, if you
please, sir.
Gen. MacArthur-To me, it was
war from the day I got there. The
term of police action may have
been evolved in the concepts that
it was an endeavor to clear and
police all of Korea. don't think
the term could have been evolved
with reference to the actual type
of fighting and battle that was
going on. That was unadulterated
war of the most savage character.
Now, in referring to a police
action, it may be that it meant
that they were using the me-
chanics of war to police Korea.
That I wouldn't be able to tell.

one?
Gen. Macarthur complete

an opportunity to the enemy to
gather around the peace table
and discuss a just and honorable
peace. :.
Senator MorSe-I have just two
questions remaining. i. One
question goes to a critical COM
ment I read in the paper the other
day, yesterday think it was, that
you had in the Waldorf Astoria
Hotel a great many secret docu-
ments, and the question was
whether or not they were being
properly protected, and whether
or not they should not be down
here in the Pentagon Building.
And I thought you ought to be
given an opportunity to answer
that question.
Gen. MacArthur-That is per-
fectly absurd. Senator. I haven't
got any documents in the Waldorf
Astoria, and all of the files of my
headquarters were left intact. My
own personal files were being
packed and are probably being
shipped to me. But I haven't got
any files. All I have you see right
here indicating).
Senator Morse-Lastly, General,
Evening star., 1951-05-06
Committee Hq Ended

lit has received wide circulation in
this country that you contem-
plated resigning your command,
and that the President beat you
to it by recall. I thought you
ought to have an opportunity to
make a statement on that allie
cation. -.
Gen. Macarthur - Ridiculous.
Senator Morse You had no in
tention of resigning?
Gen. MacArthur.-None what
soever. 1t had been my hope that
I would be able to see my missions
through. Those missions were the
signing of the Japanese peace
treaty and the conclusion of the
Korean war. At that time I in
tended to withdraw from active
military service, but not before,
unless I was recalled by higher
authority.
Senator Morse.-Thank you very
much.
