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 permanent proposal According to councilman Taylor, the Greenville Recreation Department has taxed the use of the pool at !( i heavily Chiidrei from various housing tracts jie rtOV scheduled to swun in the University's Memorial pool foi several hours in the afternoons Dt Hooks says of this.

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 "We hold that they have he said 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 with other students in the residence halls" If interested. contact Ron Scronce. Counseling Office. Scott Residence Hall 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 (AP)Academy Award-winning actress Jane 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 conference but said the copies had not been made However, the actress said her remarks as quoted in the Congressional Record last July 20 were accurate and typical Miss Fonda was quoted as saying.

ECU artist-in-residence and Donald Sexauer. chairman of printmaking in the ECU art school. The new gallery is an adjunct of the Mushroom, a shop in Greenville's Georgetowne 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, "won't have to come and feel like they're in church and Hush-Hush ? or off PC bfftriy iniorv unly ty I sum i Of d to p as was six on the I tie mi vei ds. he ol he in ch l ?n en fii 10 you follow orders telling you to destroy a hospital or bomb the sen - l fou know whaf happens ti thi womei when the napalm you are dropping lands on them and 1 say that the time has come foi us to stop it " She also was quoted as saying.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Greenville. North Carolina 27834 Telephone 758366 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.
