get underway next month in the
northeastern section of the State.
The surveyors will then so into
the Piedmont and mountain areas.
The survey, first to be under

resources since 1887 is being made
for the purpose of finding out the
volume of standing timber and
the trends in growth and drain in
/ the woodlands as they relate to
! the needs of the wood-using in
dustrieS operating in North Caro-

Fred H. Claridge.
| The survey revealed. Claridge
said, that forest lands total $780,
/ 600 acres in the 81 counties sur
veyed by State and Federal for

ficeS to serve in important positions. This
to our way Of thinking is a most important
factor in Virginia S success. 1t is the strong
est recommendation for the dominant Dem
ocratic organization-the Byrd machine if
YOU please. The finger of suspicion, the
charge of corruption, or conduct of bad
taste have not been leveled at Virginia
Democrats in official positions. They have
been group of gentlemen apd statesmen of
whom we can be proud
The success Of each Virginia governor
has been his ability to obtain we'll qualified
men on his official staff. The governor is
the captain of team, so to make an adj
mnistratlon success he must have good
team. Fortunately, the Democratic COVER
nors have sought and obtained good team
members.
We do not believe that the time has yet
come when the Republican party in Virginia
is strong enough to give Virginia the kind of
government it has enjoyed in the past. The
anti-Byrd faction Of the Democratic party
has not been capable of attracting enough
strong and capable men to persuade Vir-
chine. Unless and until the organization
forces weaken materially, or become in
competent, or corrupt, we will find Vir.
gnlanS supporting it, 1t would mean that
thousands of voters would have to be
switched from the Democratic party, both
organization and anti-organization groups,
before the Virginia Republican party would
have chance.
Virginia is essentially Democratic in
state elections, and except for unusual cir
cumstances, will remain in the Democratic
column nationally. Mr.. Dalton is perform
ing public service for his party. We pre-
dict that he will conduct a campaign OF a
high plane in an effort to put the Virginia
Republican party in the good graces of the
voters. At any rate, the general election will
be active in November.

Gates that the Republican party will make
a strong bid to take advantage of the States
support for President Eisenhower last year.
Democrats of long standing voted for the
Republican presidential nominee, not so
much because he was a Republican but be-
cause he was their choice for the presidency
Mr., Eisenhower appealed to many Nir-
ginia Democrats because he stood for the
principles they believe to be best for the
nation. He was an experienced diplomat. a
superior commander in-chef for the mill
tary, and had the opportunity of Kidding the
nation of bureaucracy grown arrogant

Democrats will also turn support to the Re

reason that they should. Virginia has been

4 7 best the international situation can be
said to be fluid Nothing has been set
tied in the fortnight Of unusual events and
consistent rumblngs Of discomfort. South
Korean President Syngham Rhee defiantly
liberated anti-communist North Korean
prisoners, in the face of a truce agreement
on the issue which had been in progress for
months. And more, he attempted to dictate
to the UN and the United States his condi-
tions for truce. This is not the first time
President Rhee has been difficult to handle,
and in recent months he has become more
and more defiant
The Christian Science Monitor sums up
Rhee's position as the tail waggn4 the dog
and adds:
1T is unlikely that President Rhee
would ever have concluded that he could
get away with such highhandedness if he
had not been encouraged'by the obvious CON
fusion in American public opinion in regard
to the Korean war. Too many Americans
have been unable to grasp the concept Of
limited war for a limited purpose ANYTHING
less than the unconditional surrender of the
enemy has seemed to them defeat for their
own side.
This has played into the Korean Prcsi-
dents contention that the nations WHICH
came to the rescue of his country should be
willing to continue to spill the blood Of their
soldiers until all Korea was unified. In
practice this would mean not only driving
back the powerful Red forces to the Ialu
but carrying on the war against China until
Feking should no longer be able to throw
force against the precariously unified coun-
try.
"As Korean patriot and stubborn
leader. Mr.. Rhee naturally desires to see
unfication take place at whatever cost to
his allies. But responsible statesman
and participant in a free-world coalition, it
should be obvious to him = if not to his
ong-suffering people-that his allies have
commitments to prevent Communist aggres-
sion on worldwide front and cannot COM
NIT unlimited forces to single front in
order to achieve unfication on his own
terms
apparently this is not obvious to him
More surprisingly, it is not obvious to some
Americans. One might have expected that II
