General P. C. Harris Denies He
Endorsed Blalock for Congress
Commends War RecordI of Sidney Camp and Expresses
in His Candidacy—Writes Letter for Publication
Stating These Facts,
Last week there appeared in a
number of papers over the state a
release . , from the campaign head
quarters of Mr. Edgar Blalock stat
ing that the full endorsement of
Major General P. c. Harris had
been given to Mr. Blalock in his

It ha s since appeared that this
statement was slightly erroneous
and a letter from General Harris
to Mr. Sidney Camp in herewith re

may be corrected.

For early crops you must plant
early; but late crops are desirabla
also, and seeds planted late will
grow so much faster that the har
vest will nut be relatively as late
as was the seeding.
In the vegetable garden there are
many seeds which should be sown
for late crops.
Beans should be sown at intervals
until July to provide a succession
of young plants, which will yield
much better than the old ones in
late summer and early fall. Car
rots and beets frjtn summer sow
ings will be better flavored and
more tender than the old, fully ma
tured vegetables which may be har
vested late from early sown seeds.
Cauliflower and brussels sprouts
are fall crops, and seeds should be
sown now for plants to be trans
planted.
There are two salad crops which
are at their faetft in the fail—endive
and Chinese cabbage. The endive
or chicory, sown now and trans
planted in midsummer so that each
plant has a foot of room in the row,
will produce crisp, curly leaves,
which are bitter until frost comes
and then make the most delicious
salad of the season. Chinese cab
bage is difficult to grow in the sum
mer, because it runs to seed, but
in the short days of autumn it
makes beautiful, elongated heads of
crisp leaves having a suggestion
of cabbage flavor which are de
licious cooked or raw.
Vegetable crops which should not
be sown late include pears, early
radishes, lettuce and spinach. All
these require cool weather, but you
may sow very early kinds in Au
gust, so they will mature in the
autumn. Sweet corn is a crop for
late sowing. Early kinds may be
put in as late as July I, and the
finest corn is produced by late sown

IF 1 COULD FLY
If I could swiftly soar as an eagle

I d richer be ihan rulers, counts or
kings.
Neither the sanded plains, ilie sea,
the sky
Would mystery be, if I could fly!
I d love to soar above the billows

Know if my childhood dreams of
clouds were true.
And far above the ice-clad moun

I would stop — hear the silence
speak.
And with the four winds dance and
swifily race
Then clouds would rest me in their
cool embrace.
Beyond blue horizons I would softly
croon
Melodies for His Majesty in the
moon.
I’d rock in the moon, with wee
horns of gold
And sail cloud highways the world
to behold!
I’d call on the stars at close of the
day
And gently rock down the whit?
milky way.
Hunt the rainbow's pot of colors
rare
Learn the magic art and mixing
share.
At the rainbow's end I’d search for
the gold
And prove or disprove the legend
that's told
Of how the colors dip and blend
In a “pot gold,” buried at the enc
Wearying of the violet rays beyond

I'd fly with tired heart, dear, back
to YOU.

than 45 per cent of the shipments
in the fall of 1938 were found to be

over other rye. Since 1930 the De

WASHINGTON
SNAPSHOTS
If John Public has a comfort
able feeling because the Congress
rejected a suggestion that the tax
base be broadened, it is a comfort
that is likely to be shortlived.
On the surface, the Congres
sional vote on the tax bill might
be interpreted to indicate that
Congress has put the Indian sign
on any scheme to collect more
taxes. That, of course, does lend
comfort to the taxpaying Mr. Pub
lic, but if one goes below the sur
face anti catches a glimpse of tiie
dilemma behind the stage-door,
there is plenty there to disturb
tiiat feeling of comfort.
Here is the dilemma:
Almost everyone on Capitol Hill
will admit — at least privately —
that the day of reckoning is at
hand, or not far off. They know
the bill for the spending orgy of
the last few years is coming due.
They know the only way that bill
can be paid is through more
taxes. They know the only source
from which more taxes can be
collected is the middle and lower
income brackets, because the
higher brackets are already stag
gered by an unprecedented bur
den. And they know that next
year is election year!
The dilemma is' particularly
perplexing for those members
who came to Congress only last
year. They had none of the fun
of spendiug, but must now share
equally the preblem of paying
the check.
What to do about it was the
question they faced in the new
tax bill. Specifically, the proposal
they finally voted down would
have increased the tax rale on the
middle income group, and lowered
the income tax exemption so that
low income groups now escaping
a direct taxation would have ‘a
pay a tax.
Significant is the fact that the
proposal was defeated in the Sen
ate by a one vote margin, mean
ing that there was almost a ma
jority in favor of facing the music
now, instead of later.
A recent survey has caused
siderable comment at the Cap
itol. It was submitted as part of
the testimony of a witness appear
ing before the Senate
on F.ducation and Labor, which is
studying amendments to the
tional Labor Relations Act.
What that survey showed was
simply that John Public does not
believe live. National Labor Re la
lions Act, or the board which ad
ministers it, has contributed much
to the counlry’s industrial rela
tions.
In the survey, the public was
asked what it thought responsible
for the reduction in the number of
strikes from 1937 to 1938. Only
10.5 per cent thought the reduc
tion in the number of strikes was
due to legislation and the gov
ernment’s attitude. The largest

percentage thought there were]
fewer strikes in 1938 because:
there was a public resentment
against sit-down strikes.
The fight over the labor act
amendments, incidentally, pro
duced what rates the “crack of
the -week.” It was during ques
tioning of Labor Board Chairman
Madden by Representative Barden,
quick-thinking North Carolina
Democrat. Chairman Madden had
pointed out that the Labor Board
had won more cases in court than
it had lost. To this, the North
Carolinian shot back:
“Let me remind the chairman
that justice in the United States is
not dispensed on a percentage
basis.”
rf*few weeks ago, official Wash
ington was receiving instructions
from a certain well educated econ
omist with a flnir for language.
The word-wizard was convincing
everyone concerned that the eco
nomic failures of the past were
largely mental: that if you used
the right vyords to describe them,
they weren't so bad after all.
Thus, he explained, if witnesses
appearing before committees call
ed the debt an “investment,” it
left a good taste in everyone’s
mouth, and there was no damage
done.
Business men caught on quickly
to the new game, and it was one
of this group who had the “last
word” on the subject, r Profits?”
he asked innocently, r Oh, just
call them ‘preparation for future
taxes’!”
Since the publication of that re
mark in the papers, nothing more
has been heard from the Washing
ton word-wizard.
