HIGH SEAS UNDERMINE
KITTY HAWK COTTAGE
Trawler Grounded in Oregon Inlet Shall
lows But Saved Without Great
Damage tuesday

A Kitty Hawk beachside cot
tage owned by Robert Graham of
Hampton, Va, was believed to be
damaged beyond repair as a re-
suit Of high seas and winds of
the week end northeaster. One
resident of the area where the
damage occurred estimated Ora
hams loss to the house, it's furni-
ture and the seawall was approx
imately $4,000.
Two other cottages in the i'm
mediate vicinity were also dam
aged by the tides, seas and wind,
One of these cottages was owned
by Gus Pappas of Ahoskie, the
other by Edwin Pearce, Edenton
and Kenneth Morton, Hartford.
Some of the low-lying high
ways between Kitty Hawk and
Hatteras were covered by tides
during the storm. In some sections
blowing sands covered sections of
the roads.
Only maritime disaster report
ed during the northeaster was the
grounding of the trawler Nancy
Jean owned by w. Harvey Cox
and Gordon Meekins of Engel-
hard. The vessel went ashore on
a shoal inside the inlet on Sun
day. Capt. Meekins, one of the
owners and two man crew were
aboard at the time. Oregon Inlet
Coast Guard and other trawlers
in the area were successful in re-
floating the 10 foot Nancy Jean

o'clock.

perhaps not generally realized
that present corrupt practices

Rhode Islander Louded as True Liberal,

10 carried not simply a full
load but a great load, as a
personally aristocratic and

the way with the Roosevelt
New Deal. Senator Green at
a ripe 80 was tough enough
and strong enough to take
on one of the hardest and
most thankless jobs the Sem
ate had handed out in this
century.
This was to serve on the
first committee that investi-
gated Senator Joseph r. Nc

munism in the State De-
partment." Nobody could
hope to win in that mares
nest-nobody but. in the

cion we're loose in a country
that had suffered great and
undeniable setbacks from
imperialist communism. The
Nation was ready for a devil
hunt; it was all there to be
exploited,
But old Senator Green, un-
like some of his committee
colleagues, faced the un-
alterable facts with that
special candor and realism
of the Senate's aged men. He
knew Senator Mccarthy and
his associates were making
a bitter brew that at length
would spill over on the Re-

did when the Eisenhower ad-

But he knew that, first of

Presidential Ambitions Magnify
Heavy Task Of Controlling Rebels

Senate Majority Leader
Johnson's problem with his
Senate liberals ID not SEN
atorial but presidential in
nature.
What he has to keep firm
ly in mind is that while the
rebels can be accurately de-
scribed as a little band, they
very largely represent the
places and interests where
the votes and the money
come from to elect Presi-
dents.
The views they express
have predominated In all re-
cent national conventions in
the writing Of the platform
and the selection Of the can
didates. When a party ma
tionAlly settles down to the
serious business of nominat-
ing and electing a President,
1t does not take on the hue
Of Texas or conservatism.
This explains the soft an
swers the Texan has tried to
give the Democratic rebels
against his authority. II his
ambitions were confined to
the Senate leadership he
could be brusque, indeed, for
he has built that authority
high and strong.

replacement.

dore Francis Green leaves.
the Senate will be the poorer,
in the strictly human sense,
anyhow, for his departure.
For. oddly, in this correspond
ent's time it has been mainly
the very old men there who
have given a special quality
to the place.
There, more often than
not, it is the very old who
will take the greatest risks.
Who are the least influenced
by today's universal urge for
personal security" Who are
the most ready to run for
ward to meet the possibly
menacing tomorrow. They
are, again more often than
not, the best of the individ-
ual men, the free and fight

youngsters look rather like
conscientious objectors.

that society tends to throw

World Spotlight on Africa in 1860

Congo have accepted the urg-
ings Of young Sekou Toure,
president Of the new Republic
Of Guinea. He envisions q
great association Of African
republics, many Of which
would cut across present CO.
lonial boundaries. The new
nations Of 1859 will be joined
by others in 1860. They are
all interested in such Q de-
velopment.
Sekou Toure, who recently
visited the United States, and
who was entertained - Tar
south as North Carolina. went
home with words Of friend
ship for this country. This
trust In America exists in
much Of that vast land, large
ly because Of the image Of
this country as one Of free
dom, and the work Of some
Of the medical and educa-
tional missionaries.
In an address before the
United Nations, the young
president OF one of the
newest African states said, in
impeccable oxford English:
I'VE Africans wish ardently
to see colonialism cut short,
once and for all. In this
spirit we call upon each
nation to pronounce itself.
not upon the right Of self
determination. which is a
right already recognized and
acquired, but upon its real
application, without trickery
or maneuvers, without illu-
sionary facades or false re-
serves. This affects, Of course.
the interest Of Africa. But 1t
is even in the interest Of the
world which cannot deliber-
ately deprive itself Of the
creative contribution Of 200
million men and women or
play with the destiny OF our
peoples in order to safeguard
the material interest Of colo
nial powers"
These words inadequately
picture the power OF the
force at work. 1t will not be
halted. Africa is the last great
political continent. And 1860
will see American and world
attention focused there.

The Argument for State Primaries

officially answering your ques-
tions, I am not actively seek
ing delegates at this time. I
am interested in the general
subject"
It, Of course, takes a lot
of time to travel to ~ States,
and certainly fund-raising is
important, but isn't 1t more
important to give the people
a chance to vote in a pri-
mary election as to which
candidate they prefer to have
nominated at their national
conventions?
Vice President Nixon is /
busy man and at presen
doesn't seem to have any op-
position for the Republican
omination, but he an
nounced this week, through
his press secretary, that he
would enter the primary in
New Hampshire, and his
name will go on the ballot
n other States.
There were Democrats just
few weeks ago crying out
about the "boss-controlled"
Republican convention, yet
their own convention is going
to consider men who have
been unwilling to 60 before
the people in primary elec-
tions. Does this mean that,
If a candidate in the Demo-
cratic Party can line up the
delegates through the boss
System. he can ignore pri-
naries?
There are, to be sure, many
iefects in the primary Sys-
tem. but it is plainly better
than a boSS-controlled con-
vention. Once the presiden-
tial andidate is named

this was a President who also

to be terribly, terribly safe.
1t was only the true liberals

Is the Democratic Party
heading toward Q boss
controlled" convention? Is a
candidate to be chosen this
summer who had not dared
to enter q presidential pri-
mary in which the voters in
the Democratic Party can
have a chance to express
their preferences?
These questions are asked
because of the decision Of at
least two leading contenders
-Adlai Stevenson and Stuart
Symington-to stay out Of
presidential primaries.
Senator Kennedy. on the
other hand, will have his
name presented to the people
through the primary elec-
tions in several States. He
feels the primary system af-
fordS an opportunity for the
people to make up their
minds about candidates and
instruct their delegates ac-
cordingly. Senator Humphrey
also is entering some STATE
primaries.
Which Is better-to let tn,
Gallup polls or the primary
elections in various States
appraise the candidates? In
the former, q scientific sample
Is obtained, but 1t cannot be
conclusive because the people
have not been able to get a
f1rSt-hand impression Of the
candidate and his views and
must depend on publicity
campaigns waged by his local

Is at best only an indirect
way to size up q candidate.
