Though we do not expect to see Southern In Northern Democratic circles, there apparently Democrats capitulate to any demands the Northern

is another view. Roscoe Drummond, Washington correspondent for the New York Herald-Tribune and one of the nations most astute political observers, predicted to North Carolina newsmen last weekend there will be anotner Southern revolt in 1960 and a third party candidate. He based the prediction primarily on the growing pressure in Northern circles for a more far-reaching civil rights plant as pari of the Democratic program.

While there may be more determined attempts in some Northern elements of the party to read the South out of the Democratic party, we believe there

Liberals want to make, neither do we expect to see Southern delegations bolt the convention to form a third national ticket.

Circumstances have changed drastically since the walkout in 1948. The civil rights issue has become more tedious, but other factors have also changed. Most influential of these, in our estimation, is the determination of Southerners not to turn over the Democratic Party completely to left-wingers. Rather than the 1948 attitude which led to the bolt of Southerners In the face of great provocation, there seems to be now a determination in the Southern leadership and rank and

alio more adamant determination on the part ow'e members to atay with the party and steer it ultl-

Although the Northern Liberals may have grown in strength in the Party, the strength of the Southern wing is still a potent factor in the party. This, bolstered

mately back to a position more in keeping with the moderately conservative attitude of the South.

The year of 1960 fs certain to be a turbulent one for the Democratic Party, but it will be, we beiievev, a year in which the party will not be split by a South* ern revolt . * . notwithstanding Northern efforts to the contrary.

BIO TIMES Th next ten dars offer exciting proepecti of hlstory-maJklng event# In State govecnmental and political clr* cles. Veteran obeerver# cannot recall a time when the atmoe* phere wa# #o pregnant with poa-albilitiei for Intereatlng. even explosive, development#. The #ltua-lion 1# unu#ual. if not completely unique.

The General Awembly of 1959 will cmivene In the State captol at noon next Wedneadty, February 4. That 1# a biennial event which always has possibilities of great Interest. This year It will be different. For the first time In more than 100 year# # Governor will be dealing with the third regular Legislature during hi# tenure. Unllks mot of hi# pre-deceasors Governor Luther Hodges ha# asserted hi# right to leadership In the final session of hts regime to perhaps greater degree than In his first.

He will deliver his "State of the State" message to the General Assembly on the second day, Thursday, February 5, and his "budget message" accompanying the report of the Advisory Budget Oommisfllon on appropriations and taxes is scheduled for JMpnday, February . Clear Indlc^ons are that neither of iheae messagea will be perfunctory, but that both will throw down the gauntlet of challenge to legislators and the people. He has auggested he will fnlkn^ up these appearances with other appeals tor support of his administration program.

There may be qiMstlon In minds of tome as to the real progressive value of his program; there can be no doubt about the Governor's vigorously aggressive attitude In seeking enactment of his pioposals.

It follows that one of the unusual features of this final Legislature of an administration will be the assertion of leadership by the chief executive.

PRELIMINARY - It Is natural that because of the peculiar clrcunuitancei of a continuing executive, plua the far-reaching reorganisation proposals, there should be more than common Interest In make-up pf committees which will handle legislation. Immemorial custom has vested the right to appoint committees and designate chairman in the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate. The Lieutenant Governor U President of the Senate, and he Is elected by all the people. The SiJcaker of the House Is elected by the member* of that body from among their own number. The Senators elect a President pro tern, who by long custom Is chairman of the rules committee and cx-of-flclo member of every other committee.

A hotly contested race Is underway between C V. Kenkel of

Iredell and Robert F. M(Xgan of Cleveland for the Senate post. More Interest centers In the close race between Addison Hewlett of New Hanover and Carl Ventera of Onslow for Speaker of the House. Controlling nominations for these positions will be made at the Democratic causes Tuesday night. Practically all members of both branches of the Legislature, along with a (k!n or so lobbyists and numerous applicants for clerical jobs, will converge on Raleigh Sunday afternoon.

What happens In hotel rooms and street corner conferences from Sunday until Tuesday night wlU largely set the course for the Legislature. Also important in determining legislative action will iM! the reaction and attitude of winners and losers in the caucuses from Tuesday night until the General Assembly really gets down to work the following week. These personal attitudes will hive s lot of bearing on whether the legislative machine rune smoothly or is hampered by sand tlirown Into the gears instead of oil.

COURT - Likely to be overlooked in the popular interest about the Legislature and possible conflicts between executive ait(f Teglslatlve prestige, but tremendously Important as providing the balancing power, the Supreme Court of North Carolina win quietly convene for the spring term next Monday.

The noise and furor from tcroas the street will not penetrate the cloistered chambers of the court. At the same time the learned and sedate Justices cannot ignore the fact that proposal tor revanyiini the whole court set-up Is a major political Issue In the Legislature

From the Inception of con-aUlulional government In this country the judicial branch has been regarded as a sort of referee or umpire to preserve balance between executive and legislative funoUons. Obvious encroachments of the Federal judiciary upon legislative authority, and proposed extension of administrative-executive powers to the State Judiciary, threaten to destroy this traditional balance.

No argument Is offered here for or against the old order or the new proiwsals. The purpose 1 to point out that developments within the next ten days, which will materially affect subseqvient decisions, will have controlling influence on State government for many years.

There seems certainty that the people of North Carolina will re-tain the prerogative of electing legislative, executive and Judicial officer*. The main question then Is not whether the people will surrender control, hut which branch ot the tri-partate government will be accorded main authority In sp'clflc areas.

There Is no fault to be found with the decision of the Flue-Cured Stabilization Corporation to reduce the price of a part of the 1955 tobacco crop it has on hand in order to sell this surplus tobacco.

The move, in spite of the fact it will mean the corporation will take a loss on tobacco for the first time in 13 years, will serve to remove fi portion of this so-called undesirable tobacco surplus which has proved -a stumbling block to American flue-cured tobacco growers.

Reduction of the price of this tobacco wiW serve a two-fold purpose. It will enable the corporation to remove a portion of the surplus leaf which it has not been able to sell because of price and quality. Further, it probably will -enable the United States to regain some sales In the world market which have been going to foreign producers of flue-cured tobacco.

From the standpoint of the farmer, there is little likelihood that the sale of this tobacco at reduced prices will have an adverse effect on the 1959 or subsequent crops. To the contrary, the fact that the amount of tobacco in the hands of the Stabilization Corporation is reduced by 218 million pounds should enhance the demand for future crops.

Then too, the sale of this tobacco will enable the Stabilizltttion Corporation to get from under the cost of storing and keeping this leaf which it has had for three and one-half years.

While there may be some misgivings in some circles over Stabilizations decision, its long-range effect will be advantageous to American producers of flue-cured tobacco, and also to the American position in the world market for flue-cured tobacco.

Soviet Leaders

More Confident

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) The Soviet leaders who walked Into their 21st party congress Tuesday were a lot more confident group than met three year* ago to hear Nikita S. Khrushchev downgrade Stalin.

Khrushchev showed a lot of confidence at that time, to be sure in his own ability to destroy the memory of Stalin and still survive in the Kremlin power struggle and in the hiture of the Soviet Union.

It was at that time he suggested Communist parties elsewhere could feel free to do their own thinking. It was sn Idea that came to a quick and bloody end when Hungarians, selRlng a little freedom, tried for more and were cru.shed History will probably ssv Khrushchev in 195(1 did what he had to do in condemning t|ie long tyranny of Stalin. He wanted to deatroy the image of Stalin which represented terror and oppression to all peoples ever-where,

If communism Soviet brand was to extend Its Inflnence in A.sla. Africa anl even Europe it had to pul on a much friendlier ana a more rea.sonahle and help-ful face than Stalin ever displayed,

Khrushchev's new policy has worked pretty well Russian influence ha.s been extended. But Khruschev in 1956 was In a position know', what the rest of the world didn't, that Russia would soon be able to daixle the world.

It did that late In 1957 when it shot Its Sputniks aloft and made clear it was far advanced more so. it seems, than the United States in tlw development of long-range missiles.

Those missiles as they develop or so the Soviets hope and say will be a treraendoiui counter force to the bases which this country has built around the Soviet Union with the cooperation of American allies.

But nothing shows better how much more confident Khrushchev is now than this: in 1956 he preached sweet reasonableness. Now he's demanding the United States withdraw its forces from. West Berlin.

Ever since he made the demand in November the Western world has been able to talk about little else, and Khrushchev, Judging from the gay way In which he dwells on the subject, enjoys the Wests concern.

He was In gay mood Monday night at a diplomatic reception, promising to make such a lohg speech at the party congress that he said he had sdvlsed Communist leaders to bring their lunch.

He can afford to be gay: He's undisputed master in the Soviet Union, In the year# since 1956 he has sent Into oblivion such old Communist stalwart*, as Molotov. Malenkov and Bulganin.

Since Khrhshchev has a good senst of the dramatic it's quite possible he will come up with some startling pronouncementa at the congress meeting.

(WashingiMi Dally Newa)

We are of the opinion that every man and woman should receive a fair rate of pay for a fair weeks work.

This matter of a minimum wage law is no one way atreet. Here in N(uth Carolina we keep hearing or seeing where certain officials endorse a minimum wage law, but at the same time they do not talk in terms of figures. The talk right now ia so general that it la hardly worth comment.

Just recently we saw wera Art Vann, president of the Young Demcrata of North Carolina, had endorsed the minimum wage law without aaylng how mtwh the minimum should be.

Frank Crane, commissioner of revenue In North Carolina, recently endorsed such a minimum wage law, but If he aet the figure he favored, the article wt read did not carry It-

OoverncH' Hodges favored a. minimum wage law In this state during the last legislature, and he did set his figure at 75 centa per hour. |

Now tf all 'of those who art doing the talking about the minimum wage law will set down what they consider a fair hourly return, weTl have more substance upon which to work.

If the minimum wage law in North Carolina is to be a dollar an hour, then that is one thing. If it is to be 75 cents an hour, it is another. The federal government is talking today about a minimum wage law of 11.25 per hour.

A minimum wage law now w'orks hardships on many businesses, In one business a firm has to pay the federal minimum

wage of one dollar an hour. That includes the wages paid the Janitor, casual help, unskilled workers, and the like. Another firm employing persons well educated but not under the federal wage and hour law employs help at whatever price is determined as fair. In some caaes a clerk might receive $25 a week for 40 hours of work, while next door the Janitor may receive $40 for 40 hours work. That condition Is certainly unfair.

If we are going to speak in terms of a minimum wage law In North Carolina, let us talk In definite figures. As we view the picture at UUs moment, a minimum wage law to our state of 75 cents per hour would not be bad. But even then it should exclude home servants, baby sitters. and students who arork part time.

A decent standard of living should'be encouraged In North Carolina. We are among the lowest states in the union in average earnings of our iMK)ple. One good way to raise the standard of living and the average yearly earnings would be to pass a minimum wage law of 75 cents per hour.

We realise that the proposed 75 cents here will be met with strong opposition in some quarters. Perhaps it will work hardships in some instances. It is our opinion that over the long haul, the benefits will far out-weUfh the hardships,

Our next legislature apparently must come face to fsce with the'proposal. It wont be passed easi^. But it does have its merits provided the liberals dont set the figure too highat least not above 75 cents per hour now.

For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS

NATURE or TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS

Our Lord was constantly emphasizing the inner nature of true righteousness. Jesus believed that the outside of the cup and the platter could be clean with the Inside full of exkMrUon and excess. He believed that the only true righteousness was heart righteousness not what does a person do or say but what is he at the center of his heart.

Jesus did more than command men and women to live pure lives,* free of misbehavior or scandal. His words were, "Blessed are the pure In heart: for they shall see God. He declared also that the angry malicious thought couki be spiritually as bad as murder. "Do not seal your every utterance, He told His contempwaries, "with a sworn avowance that the utterance is true. Say yes if yes is indicated and *no if no is indicated and let it go at that."

Are you and I Christian believers? Maybe we are with our minds. But how about our heartk? For be well assured that the only righteousness which Is acceptable to the Most High God is righteousness which pervades the inner reaches of a man's heart or s womans.

Decent behavior must be the fruit of a heart and mind that are (tecent. If we are deterred from evil by fesr or the lack of opportunity to sin, we are virtuous. We are only prudent or frustrated.

True righteousness is heart righteousness.

' At the risk of aliauitlng the unenlightened addicts of other forms of nicotine, Id like to point out the basic superiority of the cigar smoker over both the cigarette and the pipe smoker.

Your typical cigarette smoker is often nervous and indecisive. Your typical pipe man is a llfe-beaten philosopher sending up smoke signals of fuUlity.

But your typical dgar smoker is an expansive, aggressive, forceful optimist a man of action, forthright and decisive.

I give you, for examples, U. S. Grant, Gen. George S. Patton and Winston ChurcMll.

The man who smokes cigars is a man who can make up his mind. This, I submit, is why so lew women today smoke cigars. They arent the kind of people who really like to make up their mind.
