Plans for swimming pools move closer to adoption
By PATTI PAUL
Stj" Writer
Plans lor a new swimming pool in Greenville
have been long-range until members of
Greenville's Human Relations Council took
action to endorse councilman Bill Dansey's
proposal lor three swimming pools in this area.
Dansey's proposal includes three pools to be
located in various, places, one on the
recreational property on Hooker Koad. near the
lighted ball park, one on Cedai Lane near the
Eastern Elementary School, and the other on
the land acquired at the site ot the old l.pps
High School at 5th and Memorial Drive
In the past the General Neighborhood
Renewal Program, funded by the lederal
government provided assistance through
Wudies of iccreation needs submitted to HEW
With Dansey's pioposal. the funds under the
?lapses ol the (rieenville Recreation
Commission, will he provided lor by 4 cents ot
every S100 ol property tax foi maintenance
and construction ol recreational facilities
At the present time, none of the city tax
revenue may be set aside for recreational
purposes Only after the citizens of the city
have voted to specify what portion of their tax
dollar they are willing to give to recreation, can
tax monies be made available for recreational
development
AUGUST 10th VOTE
Dansey's proposal must first be passed by
the City Council, as advised by the Recreation
Commission's feasibility studies On August 10,
the Council will vote on Dansey's proposal If it
is passed, a referendum ol the citiens will be
taken at to the opinion of the townspeople
The Recreation Commission, aware of the
need lor extended recreational facilities, has
acquired 47 acres of land for recreational
development in the past H years
City Councilman and Administiative
Assistant to the Superintendent of Pitt County
Achools. John Taylor, warned the city weeks
ago that positive action must be taken on this
pool controversy "We have a Itrong m
adopt Dunsey's proposal he believes
' am in favor of a more
comprehensive program
Recently, another school ol thought has
appeared concerning the pool question Dr
Edward Hooks. Chairman of ICl Health.
Physical Education, and Recreation
Department says. "I am in favoi ol a more
comprehensive program ol ret. ration facilities
that would include more than just swimming
pools If you are going to take a public
referendum and ask the citizens for tax money,
you should have a total look at the community
needs " According to Hooks, the city needs not
onlj swimming pools but lung range projects
including tennis urts recreation buildings,
and all facilities that constitute a twentj
long range program On August 10. the
question will he resolved as to which is more
beneficial to Greenville an immediate three
swimming pools oi j long range program which
includes pools
"As a community, says Hooks, m cannot
altord not to take a look at our labilities in the
next twenty years We can'I build ever,
overnight, but we must consider total
development and shoot r the long range

According to councilman Taylor, the

Court OkayS OUt-Of-State tuition regulations Actress refutes traitor' allegation
(APi-Noith Carolina's Supreme Court
upheld Monday stale university regulations
requiring former out-of-statert to live in the
State for at least six months as a nonstudent
before qualilvuik! Hie opinion, written by
Chief Justice William Bobbitt, reversed an
earlier ruling hy Superior Court Judge E.
Maurice Braswell of Fayetteville
Braswell had declared the regulations
unconstitutional, holding they violated the
14th amendment's guarantee of equal
protection of law
The case was initiated by two students at the
University of North Carolina Law School at
Chapel Hill. Kenneth (ilusman and Anthony B.
Lamb
The Supreme Court said evidence at the trial
showed that both students had moved to North
Carolina shortly before the) enrolled as
students.
Commissioner:
Eagleton's removal
a mistake
(AP)-South Carolina's commissioner of
mental health said Tuesday the removal of
Senator 1 homas Lagleton as the Democratic
vice presidential nominee because of disclosures
of past psychiatric treatment was a "public
ciucifi.xtion" and a blow to the mental health
profession and thousands ot formei patients
"It appears that some forces in their eal or
exposure or disclosure or political
one-upmanship would create a new class of
citiens, with the division between those who
have had psychiatric treatment and those who
have not said Dr William S Hall in a
statement.
"The matter ol Senator Lagleton's mental
health has been a poignant story from the
beginning Hall declared "But it is an old
story which could be recited by countless
thousands of forma mental patients who even
today struggle against insidious prejudice which
would deny them leadnnssion and acceptance
into society-cured and competent
Hall, a fellow in the American Psychiatric
Association and a forma president of the
National Association of Mental Health program
Directors, said "the overall image" of the
mental health profession has been damaged by
the Lagleton case.
"To what degree out progress has been
compromised, only time will tell he added.
"We go along daily knowing we have made
tremendous strides in treatment and cure only
to come up against a matter such as the
Lagleton incident and find that for each step
forward, we lose twosteps the commissioner
said
"The mind medically unattended cannot
aeeept the mind nor the man once ill and now
cured. Society says in such cases that ability is
suspeci and stability is questionable
"1 find it difficult to accept this unwritten
law. especially in the light of today's flexible
values which demand much or human and
individual rights Hall said.
"In fairness to Senator Eagleton. and all
lotheit sim.lary situated, all medical and
psychiatric records, public and private, should
' be revealed about those- persons wno have
.ought and received psychiatric care and
counseling I cannot accept the public
cruc.fixtion of Senator Eagleton by those who
will not also accept the cleansing nature of the
laacrilice
Hall said in addition to recognised categories
:? of mental illness, "there are numerous levels
aid less severe forms of emotional instability,
none of which are restrictive oi incapacitating
"1 do know that in this society which
demands so much ol each and every cttien we
cannot ailord to sacrifice one ounce of talent
or abihtv bv penalizing formei mental patients
and assigning them second-class roles in OUI
society
Lamb and Git; man subsequently established
residences in the state "for the purposes of
voting and payment of taxes the court noted,
but neither spent the required six months in
North Carolina as a nonstudent
"A person's right to eligibility for instate
tuition is quite different from his basic
constitutional right to travel freely from one
state to another or his basic constitutional right
to vote Bobbitt wrote.
"The six-month nonattendance
requirement adds objectivity and certainty to
the requirement oi domicile he added.
The opinion listed in-state tuition for law
students in the 1970-71 school year as 5225.
Nonresident students paid S?-50.
Bobbitt said the constitutional test to be
applied in the case "is whether the regulations
have tended in general to assure that only
North Carolina citizens get the benefit of
in-state tuition

New housing changes initiated
By SYDNEY ANN GREEN
SUH Writer
As an experiment in international living
foreign students will live with American
roommates in three suites of Scott Residence
Hall and seven or eight rooms in Tyler
Residence Hall. Beginning fall quarter, foreign
students who decide to reside on these
international units" will be assigned an
American roomate who has expressed an
interest in this type of arrangement.
Ron Scronce, Resident Counselor for Men
Students, said last spring there were eight
American men and five foreign men who
indicated interest. Three American women and
three foreign women also indicated interest.
There is still room for 10 American men and 10
American women.
There are approximately 30 foreign students
on the ECU campus and no facilities for them
Scronce feels that this is unfortunate because
foreign students play an important role in
learning about other cultures. He says. "One
problem in the past has been when foreign
students come they move off campus and don't
have the opportunity to improve their English
that they would have in the dorms. "Foreign
students should benefit from living in these
units by the incteased opportunity to improve
their English as well as sharing their culture
Death penalty ruled
not valid in N.C.
(AP)-The state Supreme Court indicated
Monday it considers the death penalty, and
laws based on capital punishment, invalidated
in North Carolina.
In "concurring in result" opinions on two
cases before the court. Chief Justice William
Bobbitt wrote. "Punishment by death is ot
permissable under statutory provisions such as
those incorporated in North Carolina statutes
He was joined in the concurrence by Justices
Susie Sharp and Carlisle Higgins
Bobbitt said he based the opinion on the
U.S. Supreme Court's June 2 decision
throwing out capital "punishment' as it is now
practiced in the United States.
It was the first public reaction by the state
court to the death penalty decision, which
came in a case from Georgia.
Bobbitt extended the abolition to include
statutory provisions based on the death penalty
in capital cases. The 'extension applied
specifically to General Statutes 7A-1457 A
dealing ith twith the waiver of certain rights by
defendants in capital cases.
He said the U S Supreme Court's decision
"has invalidated and rendered obsolete that
portion of G.S. 7A-1457 A which relates solely
to a 'capital ease
He defined "capital case as used in the
statute , as "a criminal prosecution for a crime
which is or may be punished by death
Deputy Atty. Gen Jean Benoy has filed a
brief with the court contending thu! the June
29 decision did not invalidate the state's law on
capital punishment.
Benoy contended that the death penalty as
practiced in North Carolina had not been used
indiscriminately He said this was one of the
major factors cited by the US. Supreme Court
decision

Room rents will go from S90 to $105 per
quarter starting this fall Dan Woolen. Director
of Housing, attributed this to the rise in the
housekeeping stair's salary He also said that in
the past couple of years the residence halls have
not been filled to their capacity, thus creating a
need for more money. C G Moore.
Vice-Chancellor for Business Affairs, said that
the dormitories have to be self sustaining Due
to self-limiting hours in the girls dormitories,
four security officers were employed. Their
salary must come from the room rentals.
According to Moore, the campus laundry
will continue to operate. He said that if the
legislature app oves the funds to build a new
heating complex, the old heating building and
laundry would be demolished. If approved, the
funds would be available in 1973. Serious
consideration has been given to then
discontinuing the central laundry.
Due to lack of student interest there will not
be a quiet donn "There were not even enough
people to get one floor said Dan Woeten.
director of housing. Only five men and twenty
women showed interest. He also said there was
little chance of ECU having a coed dorm in the
near future

Fonda defended herseli Monday against an
accusation that remarks she made over Radio
Hanoi during a two-week visit to North
Vietnam were traitorous She labeled as
"absurd" an allegation that she had urged US.
pilots to defect.
"I would no more tell the soldiers to deleft
and go over and fight with the Vietnamese It is
absurd They are needed at home she said
"Any body that is speaking out against the
war is carrying on a propaganda-a propaganda
for peace, a propaganda against death, a
propaganda for life the auburn-tressed
antiwar activist said.
Representative Fletcher Thompson. R-Ga
said earlier this month that Miss Fonda had
committed treason by allegedly urging
American troops in Southeast Asia to disobes
oida&?
"What is a traitor the actress asked. "I
cried every day 1 was in Vietnam. I viied foi
America. The bombs are falling on Vietnam,
but it is an American tragedy
"I believe that the people in this country
who are speaking out against the war are the
patriots
Miss Fonda spoke at a news conference here
She returned . on Paris Thursday night after
her visit to North Vietnam
"I was horrified by what I saw Miss Fonda
said, adding tha she felt the pilots would stop
bombing if she could "tell them what they are
doing She said her comments were intended
to direct the pilots' attention to what she
described as death and destruction on the
ground.
Miss Fonda had promised to distribute
transcripts of fur radio speeches at the news

Shopping Center, which specializes
handmade crafts, art works, candles
imported novelty items
Mushroom propneter Donna
commented. "The Mushroom Gallery opened
originally as an art gallery five years ago Art
wouldn't pay for itself, so it had to be pushed
aside until it could survive financially. The
Mushroom will have to carry the load for the
new art gallery
Mrs. Tabor, originally from Cleveland, Ohio,
developed an early interest in art. "Even in
Junior-High we had qualified art teachers and
art as an important part of the curriculum
said Mrs. Tabor "It is deplorable that schools
here make the art teachers beg. borrow and
steal for supplies Mai) of the ECU art students
come up here without having had any art in
high school
A registered nurse and a mother of a doctor,
she recalls her initial beginning with the
Mushroom "One dav at the beach, my son
asked me why I worked so hard He said. "Why
don't you open up a little quiet art shop and
take it easy
Following his advice she opened up the art
shop twelve days after renting It specialized in
art, pottery, and candles
Breathless from scurrvmg around waiting on
customers, shs said. "I often wonder what
happened to that 'quiet little shop
All carpentry and painting for the new art
gallery has been done by the students. There
has been no professional labor except the actual
knocking out of the hole in the wall A few
students have done things free.
According to present plans eaeh art show
wdl run about two weeks throughout the yea
except for November and December when the
gallery will be used for a Christmas shop
Some people aie asked b invitation to
display then art work "Art majors said Mrs.
labor, "have always been welcome, but they
should consult with then teachers first
She described the new an gallery as
informal" "People she said emphatically,

Roanokc man jailed at
Southwestern State Hospital
for 48 years without a trial on
a murder charge, emerged
Monday a semi free man.
Charged with murder in
Roanokc Counts in November.
I?23, Trent was sent to the
state mental hospital the
following April to determine if
he was mentally competent to
stand trial He remained in the
criminal division of the facility
Monday. Trent, bent with
his 7 years, walked out of the
Finley Gayle Observation and
Treatment Center, took a last
look at the hospital and
climbed into a state-owned car

Sanitonum. a geriatric hospital
I he old murdet charge
against him had been dropped
by Roanokc County officials
last week, so now he was tree
from criminal confinement
that had lasted nearly 49 years,
including his live months in
jail
There were no policemen
lor Trent's removal Monday.
only Kyle Ross, a hospital
chauffeur who drove the old
man 100 miles up Interstate
SI. a super highway Trent had
seen only from the windows or
locked doors. Trenton will
undergo further psychiatric
treatment and reorientation to
the modern world.
"When they told me last
week that my charges were
dropped I felt good Trent
said when asked it he was
happy to be out.
He said this was his happiest
day since he beat the Virginia
state chess champion by mail
in 1956. He said he beat him
twice and is now so good no
one will play him.
Trent explained he has
been following the world
championship chess match
between American Bobby
Fischer and Russian Bons
Spassks and he'd like to p!a
Fischer.
"I'd like to play him and see
how long it takes him to heat

between an uncertain frown to

McGovern budget cut drive fails
(API Sen George Mct.ovetn. pushing a
S4 billion cut in what the Pentagon may spend.
said yesterday the most serious national
Security question involves not defense, but
health, pollution, crime, and the confidence of
people in their government
In a half-hour speech on his amendment to
the S20 5-billion Pentagon procurement bill,
McGovern said. "Our people are alert to threats
from abroad But they are equally concerned
with the deterioration of our society Irom
within "
"Thes see decaying cities, wasted air and
water, rampant crime, crumbling housing and
failing transportation he said.
McCovern's amendment, applied to the
entire Pentagon budget, would have the effect
of reducing it lo $776 billion, the same as last
fiscal sear.
In the bill. McGovern said, there is money
?to underwrite astounding bureaucratic
Incompetence" that has led in recent years to
overruns of S28.7 billion in 77 weapons
programs in recent seats
?There are funds for a galloping nest race in
strategic arms he said, when the United States
has enough nuclear warheads to reduce Russian
and Chinese targets to 'ashes 10 times over.
The vole was 5? to 33.
Opponents of the amendment such as Sens.
Hugh Scott R Pa and Margaret Chase Smith.
R Maine, said the South Dakotan's move was a
"meat-ax" approach endangering national
securils
Sen. William Proxmue. D-Wis a supporter,
said. "Why shouldn't the Pentagon make tough
choices like everyone else'
McGovern himself said the serious national
security question" involves not defense, but
schools, health care, crime, and the confidence
of the American people in theu government.
Busing bill clears
(AP)-A proposed constitutional amendment
to ou law busing for the purpose o school
desegregation was cleared for a House vote
yesterday by the Rules Committee
The action was a victory for antibusing
forces, who have been trying tor a year to get a
House vote on the amendment.
The Rules Committee vote, if sustained by
the House, would remove the amendment Irom
the Judiciary Committee, where it has been
bottled up and permit an immediate House
vote.
The Rules Committee postponed until next
week action on another antibusing
bill-President Nixon's proposal to prohibit any
new federal court busing orders until next July

Credibility gap includes media, too
By DANIEL WHITFORD
Spa, ,4 1 tuntainftaad
The new ive made much ii the
indeniable credibility gap m communication!
to the public bv the past two presidential
administrations uid rightly s But at the same
time, there has been the cancerous growth,
from another source. oi a credibility gap whieh
signals a potential danger inparalleled in
merican historv the source referred to is the
American press use
The consequential it madvertant.
interaction of editorial bias and emotionalism
into the news accounts oi newspaper pages and
television newscasts has dragged the credibility
of the press to the partisan level oi the
combatants in the bull ring The press have
relinquished their grasp on the heretofore
cherished bastion of objectivity The organized
guild of the journalistic profession recently
went so far as to take the unprecedented step
? it endorsing a presidential candidate
Perhaps a few probing questions are in order
to bring the point across
Why do television journalists find it
necessary to interpret for the American people
what the President's statements mean
immediately alter each and every televised
presidential announcement or news conference'1
Do they assume that the American people are
burdened with such ignorance that they cannot
analyze the President's message for themselves'1
Why did a prominent liberal southern
newspaper find it necessary to precede the
North Carolina presidential primary with
,i series ol partisan Iron page "analyses"
pocked with half-truths concerning the alleged
disreputabihty i Alabam Governor, George C.
Wallace'Did the editors teel that their bias was
worthy "t relegation trom the editorial page to
the front page1
Is it conceivable that the American press
might be misusing "freedom of the press" to
unnecessarily keep public opinion deeply
divided over a war that involves no more
American troops than are in South Koreals it
possible that this weighty coverage of often
questionable North Vietnamese claims is
somehow related to the personal politics of the
television journalists
Could it be that violence-prone leftist fringe
groups might be spurred on to ludicrous actions
by the positive prospect of semi-worshiptu!
news exposure'
One can no longer watch the nightly
newscast without being compelled to ask
himself "Are they giving me the whole
unslanted story" As CBS recently admitted,
certain segments of its newscasts in the past
have been deliberately staged to get the

By JACK ANDERSON
President Nixon, who by his silence had
encouraged runiois that he might dump Spiro
Agnew trom the 1Q72 Republican ticket, made
a sudden about-face Saturday and announced
his endorsement ol Agnew as his running mate
In efforts to keep the Republican Patty
united, the President moved quickly before the
Dump Agnew Movement got out ol control.
Before Saturday's dramatic announcement,
the President deliberately hedged on his choice
for Vice President We understand that in
private the President never seriously considered
choosing anyone else for the ticket Me decided
to keep the American public guessing only to
stimulate interest in the Republican Convention
next month
Wher Nixon learned that his silence was
seriously undermining Agnew's prestige in the
public and the press, he decided to speak up
and endorse his loyal running mate
As a result ambitious Republicans like
Reagan and Rockefeller are looking elsewhere
for a spot in Nixon's 1973 administration
Rockefeller, for example, wants to be Secretary
of State But as we reported in an earlier
column. President Nixon's favorite Democrat,
John Connally. is the odds-on favorite to
replace Secretary Bil' Rogers
All of this presumes, of course, that Nixon
will win in November Looking back on past
Nixon campaigns, a Nixon victory this year is
hardlv a foregone conclusion
One ol the stumbling blocks tu a peace
settlement in Vietnam may be removed soon
We have learned that Hanoi is secretly
alerting its cadres that it may be necessary to
accept President Thieu as leader ol the Saigon
regime during a cease-fire
In the past, the North Vietnamese have
stubbornly refused even to consider a truce
unless Thieu quits But now increasing pressure
from the Chinese and the Russians is causing
Hanoi to re-evaluate its position on Thieu
It now appears that Hanoi will allow Thieu
to remain as President of South Vietnam during
a cease fireat least until a compromise
coalition government can bi lormed
Meanwhile, the VS. Air Command in
Vietnam has informed th Pentagon that it has
now hit all but the off-limit targets in North
Vietnam Undisturbed, the Pentagon has
ordered the air war to continue Hit them all
again, the Pentagon has told our pilots
American air attacks have taken a terrible
toll, wiping out as many as SO per cent of some
North Vietnamese divisions But US
intelligence reports warn that Hanoi has
replaced almost all the combat troops killed
during the recent offensive These reports also
claim that the North Vietnamese divisions still
have plenty of supplies stockpiled in the south
In short, Hanoi has both the men and the
material to keep the war going Asa result, the
secret negotiations now going on in Paris
continue to offer the only hope of settling the
VietnVietnsm conflict this year
McKAY'S LESSONS
A few weeks ago, we reported that Presideftt
Nixon had attempted to save the taxpayers
some money by ordering his lieutenants not to
fly first-class The order, however, has been
blatantly ignored. Every cabinet officer we have
checked onand most of their assistants-always
use the comfortable, up-front seats
But on Capitol Hill there is at least one
public servant who always flies tourist He is
Congressman K Gunn McKay, a moderate
Democrat from Utah
I
McKay came to Washington without enough
cash to buy a house, so he is renting Once, his
secretary was helping him with his income tax.
and she asked if he had any outside
investments He produced a slip showing he had
earned $24 interest on a credit union savings
account.
A few weeks ago. McKay invited me to
lunch We dined in his office on sandwiches and
trimmings that had been prepared by his wife
and staff
Congressmen are permitted by law to go
home twelve times a year at public expense
Most of them fly first-class But not Gunn
McKay
He sits in the back of the plane and saves the
taxpayer $1 .K24 a year
The President's aides should take a lesson
from Gunn McKay
FLOOD DAMAGE
The East Coast is still recovering from last
month's devastating floods which in
Pennsylvania alone caused property damage
estimated far over one billion dollais
One story in the tales of misery coming out
of Pennsylvania is the plight of the private
colleges Seventeen colleges suffered damages in
Pennsylvania Not one of them is eligible for
federal money to pick up and start again
Worst hit was Wilkes College in WilkesBarre
The school, which has an enrollment of 2,600
students, suffered $10 million in damages
Wilke's president Francis Micheleni told us
candidly, "I don't see how we'll survive without
substantial help from somewhere "
Wilkes lost everything from grand pianos in
its music department to expensive lab
equipment to 23,000 volumes of books. The
library was so badly damaged that the school
had to order a bulldozer insider the building to
clean up the muck.
"In most of the 58 buildings on campus,
we're still ankle deep in mud Micheleni told
us "You've got to see it to believe it
PRESSURE TACTICS
Small minority businesses which get
government contracts are being pressured to
support President Nixon for re-election. The
heat is coming, appropriately, from a fuel oil
dealer acting with apparent encouragement
from the President himself.
Charles Wallace, who heads the firm of
Wallace and Wallace in New York, has sent
hundreds of letters to other companies which
have either gotten contracts with the help of
the Small Business Administration or are trying
to get them.
Wallace encloses a letter President Nixon
sent him thanking him for his suggestions. Also
enclosed is a questionnaire demanding to know
,f the company will work for President Nixon's
re-election
The letter extols the SBA's assistance to
minority businesses as "the most dynamic-
program that has ever been instituted for
minorities " Then comes the pitch. "I cannot
tell you writes Wallace, "how important it is
that we go out into the field and try to get the
President re-elected
He stoutly denies it. but Wallace's mailing
suggests that he is acting in concert with the
administration to use the minority business
program for political purposes This use of hts
corporate resources to promote a political cause
is also an apparent violation of federal law
WASHINGTON WHIRL
High Road for AgnewiPresident Nixon's
new campaign manager. Clark MacGregor, has
Columnist guesses Connally as next Secretary
been meeting privately with Nixon and Agnew
urging thetwo to wage a dignified campaign
this year MacGregor specifically hoped to
persuade Agnew not to take the same low road
he took m the 1970 congressional campaign
MacGregor warns that a rough, name-calling
campaign could drrve conservative Democrats,
sympathetic to the President, into the
McGovern camp
ITT and Taxes-Remember how embarrassed
George McGovern looked earlier this summer
when he incorrectly claimed that ITT had paid
no federal taxes in three years McGovern
sheepishly retiacted his statement when he
learned that several ITT "subsidiaries did pay
their taxes We can now report that McGovern
was not so off as ITT had claimed ITT s
effective tax rate in 147. we have learned, was
less than five per cent of its income ol S4I0
millions
Classic Government Fence Sitting-The U S.

hedge on Ralph Nader's favorite subject the
safety of the Corvair The Department issued a
report two weeks ago claiming the Corvau was
