The opportunity for theft exists, man or even a i stand, day or night. To most people a thcft of thls kind wou.d be unthinkable, but the fact is that it has taken place, repeatedly. Plants can be sold. Yet Ihe number of plants stolen from time to time is hardly large commercial motive. In several Instances in the past, the theft of flowers has been traced to local people who wanted them to go in their own yards.

Evidently some folks get the idea that flowers, like air and sunshine, belong to everybody. Flowers and plants have been recovered in some cases because a svilncss just happened to see somebody removing them. It is a bit unusual to remove from the cemetery healthy plant or. flowers that still arc blooming. It anyone visit- ins the cemetery sees'this being done, ami does not recognize the person removing the plants, it might be well to call it the attention'of the caretaker, or to make a nole of the license number of the car in which plants are removed.

In a cemetery, of all places, it should be possible to look upon the activities of visitors without suspicion. Yet the Bock- bush did not disnppcar of its own accord, any more than Jhc wreaths and potted plants, or the punsics that reappeared on another lot. not in the long view, If he lets the lawmakers run any of them, he may feel he will have a reservoir of goodwill in Congress when the major issues arise. Tootle replied: "The food is fine but I'm not getting enough beans." The next day Gen. Gimler invited Sgt.

Tootle to lunch, according lo an official release. The first, course was. a salad of crushed beans. The second was bean soup. The main course svas baked beans! Bean sandwiches were placed within easy reach of the diners.

The tlcsert? Flaky bean pie. "I'll never complain about lhe food again," stammered Sgt. Tootle as he left the general's table. -O- Eleclion Board Head Raps Bills To Fire Group UNSOLICITED RECOGNITION There ts no mention of cotton, tobacco or corn production, but Robeson County still is named three limes in the current issue of "Facts," the weekly publication of (lie North Carolina Research Institute.

Robeson had a tou-h crop year in 1952, but that followed one of the biggest crop on record in 1951.

METKKS and the stars. Perhaps you entered the courtroom svith a loss of confidence in and even bitterness toward democracy because of revealed misconduct in government, but as the judge expounds the fundamental guarantees of the constitution as written by the founding fathers, you suddenly realize there is nothing svrong svith the system of government; the trouble, svhen there is trouble, lies with the people whn implement the gos'orn- ment. The judge tells the candidates it is a people's gos'crnment and the greatest ever devised. He speaks of the duties of citizenship and charges the new citizens svith their responsibilities. The chances are you have a sense of embarrassment because you haven't alsvays taken an active interest in your government, studied i obeyed its laws, worked to support it, nor even always exercised your right to govern by voting.

House Hearing Set On Wage Bill RALEIGH UH A hearing was scheduled today before a Senate committee on a bill to establish a minimum wage of 55 cents, an hour or 530 a week for workers in North Carolina industry who are not covered by the federal wage- hour law. The House was expected to take up for third and final reading a "home rule" bill which would give county boards of commissioners the power to set salaries'of county officials and to decide on the number of county employes. Special legislative acts now are required to set the salaries. Amendments were offered yesterday to exempt 60 counties from the "home rule" bill.

The House- flier! passed it on second reading. Rep. John B. Regan of Robeson. who introduced the measure, said it would reduce! by scores the number of local bills handled by each General Assembly.

Democrats Pat Regime For Firm Stand On Bohlen WASHINGTON dft Democrats generally applauded the Eisenhower administration today for standing firm on Charles E. (Chip) Eohlen's nomination to be ambassador to Russia, but two Republicans said they may fight it on the Senate floor. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee's 15-0 approval of Bohlen yesterday and Secretary of State Dulles' defense of the nominee were hailed by Sen. Sparkman (D-Ala) as the start of a "true bi-partisan foreign polic3-." Sparkman and Senators Humphrey (D-Minn) and Mansfield (D- Mont) said Dulles "met the test." added: "It demonstrator! the influence of the administration when it chooses to exercise it." But Senators McCarthy (R-Wis) and Bridges (R-NH) protested the committee's vote of approval on Dulles' evaluation of an FBI field report oij Bohlen. They said the committee should have insisted on seeing the report itself.

With admitted prospects for only a handful of opposition votes. Mc- Carlhy and Bridges talked about carrying their fight to the Senate floor next Monday. McCarthy said President Eisenhower should read the FBI report on Bohlen. adding: "It's difficult from a security standpoint to discuss some phases of the case, but we arc forced to do it. If the President read the file, he would withdraw the name." But Dulles told a ciosed session of the committee yesterday.

Sparkman said, a he did read the file and there was not a single thing in it that would cast the "slightest suspicion on Bohlen." And Sen. Ferguson (R-Mich). who conducted a long one-man in- miiry into Bohlen's part in the war time conference at Yalta--and then voted for the nominee--said he was satisfied with Eohlen's and Dulles' testimony. that Bohlen did not "influence" agreements made there. Bohlen acted as Russian language interpreter for President Roosevelt at Yalta.

Bridges, temporary president of the Senate, expressed surprise at the unanimous committee vote. "On the information I have now, and without having an opportunity to examine the testimony, I'm opposed to Bohlen," he said. "I think the Senate should have the benefit of the full FBI report on Bohlen and not an evaluation of the report by the man who made the appointment." Dulles told the committee the nominee was "uniquely qualified." that he was known personally to lhe President and that he was approved by, among others, former Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, now governor of South Carolina. Budget Group Okays Survey -O- Gen.
