Cherry Seen Best Bet For Next North Carolina Governor
Raleigh observers say Gregg Cherry appears the strongest candidate for the 1944 Democratic gubernatorial race. Governor Broughton avoids opposing Cherry, while Dr. Ralph McDonald may run if health allows. Warlick’s bid seems unlikely, with Warlick’s backers uncertain and John Bray urged to prepare for a future role.

Instability Invites Slowdowns In Boeing Seattle Plant
Peter Edson argues that shipyard wage stabilization in wartime reduced labor disputes, but West Coast aircraft plants faced drift to shipyards and rising quit rates. A Los Angeles meeting failed to produce a lasting agreement, triggering December slowdowns at Boeing Seattle, a 34 percent absentee rate, and rising costs.
