By the Associated Press

Senator Fulbright. Democrat
of Arkansas, yesterday accused
the authors of the best-selling
book 1.-THE Ugly American" Of
doing a grave and harmful dis
service to the United States.
Senator Fulbright, who heads
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, said the authors,
William j. Lederer and Eugene
Burdick, have written a reck-
less and irresponsible account
of American foreign aid efforts
in Asia.
The Arkansas Senator spoke
out in speech prepared for
the Senate in advance of ac-
ton on the $3.5 billion foreign
aid money bill this week. The
measure is under hot fire from
some Democrats angered by
President Eisenhower's vetoes
of legislation for housing and
public works.
Heartens Aid Critics
He said the book "heartens
those Americans who detest
foreign aid and who use these
criticisms as an aargument for
the abandonment of such aid
to Asian countries.
Senator Fulbright said he
fears a movie version of The
Ugly American" would amplify
the coarse cartoon" he said
the book represents.
He quoted an unidentified
official of the movie industry
as saying: This is our story

HATTERAS HOME CLUB HAS
AN EXCELLENT MEETING
BY MRS. LILLE PEELE

read by Mrs. Achsah Oden.
Home Demonstration WORK
serves laudably in numerous ways
for those in isolated communities.
For instance, most women read
for pleasure, enlightenment, or an
escapism-most of it in the first
category.-And a book once read
is quickly forgotten, or very
nearly so. But now, we in home
demonstration work find our
selves cropping back through the
dim dark past to our high school
days in an effort to pick up the
strands of our lost ability of book
reviewing. And it is no easy
chore. There are few who do not
read, but upon questioning as to
the story say ooh, l can't tell the
story, but is was good or bad
las the case may be)! However,
we find now that in order to ac-
cumulate a really worthwhile
number of club and personal
points, it is not only necessary to
read, but to remember and re-
port. And so, we in Hatteras con-
tinue our shaky way along the
path of book reviews. Mrs. Gail
Hollis gave reports on two books
The first, "Her Name Is Mercy
by Sister Maria del Rey; the sec
ond, "Sing Out The Glory" by
Gladys H. Carroll. Virginia Hud-
gins reviewed "The Believers" by
Janice Holt Giles.
The women in .Hatteras felt
very SNUG indeed about the pro-
ceeds from the February bake
sale for the All Club Foundation
Fund until we heard how much
our neighbors of Buxton had
made. 1t was small comfort to
ourselves that, after all, we were
a much smaller club. Congratula-

NORTH CAROLINA LAUNCHES
NEW CONCEPT IN All WORK
BY ROBERTA GARNER

North Carolina has reached a
new era in All Club Work. Tradi-
tionally, organized clubs have APP
peared only in the schools. Now,
with the advent of the All Com
munity Club it is possible for an
organized club to reach the corner
of every county.
It is not just another club or
organization. And it is furthering
an already outstanding youth pro-
gram.
To boys and girls who are MEM
bers, and to men and women who
serve as leaders, the All Com
munity Club is a "way of life"
Even though this community club
is a relatively new concept in
North Carolina All Club Work, it
is appearing in many counties as
vital part of the total All Club
program.
Why?
1t is a natural organization and
sequence to an officially or I'M
officially organized community.
These communities have accepted
the responsibility of their youth.
Leaders have volunteered, been
elected or drafted" In every in
stance, they are the backbone" of
the clubs.
They give their time, thoughts
and work. Anytime a 4-H'er may
call upon them for assistance. 81
gave up my fishing for the COM
munity All Club-and it is well
worth it," remarks Dewey Lanier
adult leader for Duplin County's
Cedar Fork Club.
This club under the guidance of
Lanier and his wife, won the 1855
National Safety Award. But more
important to them, is that so many
girls and boys wanted to join il
was necessary to have two clubs
one for the junior members (undel
10 years) and another club fol-
the senior Alters.

EDUCATION BOARD
is RED HOT SUBJECT
IN HYDE COUNTY
Much Speculation After Rep
O'Neal Leaves Nominated
Members Out of Omni-
bus Bill

What may easily be the subject
of liveliest interest in Hyde County
this week is the puzzlement that
has followed Rep. Dick O'Neal's
permitting the omnibus bill carry
ing names of County Board of
Education members throughout the
state to pass, without confirming
the Board nominated by the people
of Hyde County in the primary.
What makes the situation more
battling to some people is this cir
cumstance after Mr.. O'Neal had
definitely stated he would endorse
without reservation or change, the
choice of the people in the primary
for the Board of Education.
One Hyde County businessman
said this week he believed if Rep.
O'Neal failed to appoint the three
nominees or attempted to pass
any bill changing the status of the
Board, a delegation of more than
800 people from Hyde County
would storm the legislature, and
thereby might be renewed the bit
ter battle begun over a year ago
following the attempt to abolish
the Engelhard School.
Adding fuel to the fire is the
knowledge that heavy pressure is
being brought by the interests
whose official actions precipitated
the row to get Mr.. O'Neal to add
four more members to the Board
of Education through Legislative
appointment.
This, they say, would put the
Board of Education completely
into the hands of Mr.. O'Neal, OF
other political interests and would
more than double the cost to the
county at a time when the schools
are badly in need of money.
Some friends of Mr.. O'Neal
think this would mean his politi.
cal downfall in Hyde County. They
point out that great popularity anc
prestige developed by him in his
own county, and which h at
brought him great political influ.
ence in the state, was almost wiped
out in the last primary.
The action of the people of Hyde
County in turning againt him, anG
coming within II votes of defeat
ing him in favor of an excellent
citizen, but a political novice, was
not then considered so much
against Mr.. O'Neal, but as pro-
test against what many believed
to be his sympathies in the monu
mental school fight into which the
citizens of Engelhard pouret
$4,000, and which cost the tax
payers several thousand dollar:
paid out by the Board of Educa
ton. This, not counting the
$4,000 illegally paid out from
State funds by Superintendent
Tommy Gaylord.
The big issue now seems to bt
in a political sense, so Hyde people
report, not the welfare of the chill
dren. That has been forgotten
The issue is to keep Tommie Gay
lord in the job of Superintendent
and which is believed can be done
only by increasing the Board from
three to seven members. 1t is {
