tion, trade and manufacturing.
In North Carolina, however, the
State Labor Department pro
nounced that shutdowns of tex
tile plants are generally not per
manent.
The falling-off of textile em
ployment accounts for the bulk
of losses in manufacturing. C. H.'
Pritchard, Director of North Caro-
lina’s labor statistics division,
pointed out:
‘The picture is not as dark
the textile industry as has
painted in certain quarters.”
At Laurel, Miss., Mayor Carroll
Gartin discounted the strike at the
Masonite Corporation where only
250 of „ 2 onn 800 workers remained , on
their jdbs. He explained:
“Diversified industries
come into our State, giving us
stable industrial economy that is

LIVING COST DROP — The
price of living in Dixie showed a
decline—not much, but, neverthe
less, some.
The amount of average de
cline in food prices for 16 South
| ern cities has been .04 per cent
j from April 15 to May 15. But
that wasn’t as much as the na
tion, as a whole, which found
the HCL down by two-tenths of
a whole percentum!
It cost less to eat in New Or
leans than anywhere else,

figures. Price declines there

A Birmingham citizens organiz
ed their own vigilante group to
prevent further violence by mask

ture bogged down in its move to
dehood the Kluxers.
The Senate quickly approved
such a measure, but the House
considered it almost all week
before committee approval. A
group of unmasked Klansmen ap
peared before the committee to
protest anti-mask legislation as
being a violation of Kluxers’ civil
rights.
Congress, as well as the Justice
Department, meanwhile ordered
an investigation of the Alabama
violence. But Alabama’s legisla
ture requested the national law
makers keep hands off.
WEDDING BELLS — Florida’s
Gov. (Fuller WaVren went to the
alter this week with Barbara Man
ning of Los Angelese. His pockets
jangle $3,000 in cash for the
honeymoon. He said he got the
grand by mortgaging his
priced automobile.

The Governor quipped:
“I saved myself a buck.”
SOUTHERN CHAMP — The
little town of Lawrenceville, Ga.,
listened to radio reports of a
prize fight Wednesday night. Citi
zens remembered a 12-year-old
Negro who used to box for nickles
and dimes. They heard him pro
claimed heavy-weight champion
of the world. Ezzard Charles,
now 27, has moved to Cincinnati.
WELFARE STATE — Southern
editorial writers paid practicular
attention to a retired statesman
from Dixie. James F. Byrnes,
President Truman’s former Sec
retary of State, warned against
certain legislation proposed by
the Truman administration. He
declared:
“Where we will wind* up no
one can tell. But if some of the
new programs should be adopted,
there is danger that the individual
will be an economic slave pulling
an oar in the galley of States.”
STILL AG’IN ’EM Gov.
Thurmond, of South Carolina, re
mained steadfastly dpposed to
Mr. Truman and his administra
tion. The defeated States Rights
President candidate of last year
declined to attend a Democratic
Party dinner at Columbia.

LAUNDRY TIP
More time and labor can be
saved, especially in the summer,
if clothes are adapted to your
washing and ironing equipment.
For example, electric ironers
work best if you choose styles
that are easy to iron flat.
