Can't Fall Behind In A Transition

Don^t Be Surprised

Th worlds irreat military powers stand at the threshold of the age of missiles. The age is here, and it is recognized as the coming thing by leaders of the world. Yet the age of missiles is still in its infancy.

It will be a few years yetperhaps a number of yearsbefore the missile age matures sufficiently to render manned aircraft obselete. Particularly is this true in the case of aircraft which must be used for transporting men and machines to combat areas.

For these and other reasons we find it a matter of concern that the President has provided in his new budget proposal for only 1,610 new aircraft for the armed forces during the coming fiscal year.

Since World War II air power hag been greatly emphasized as the core of the defense sysUm of the United States. We have sought to build an air strength to deliver a retaliatory attack of sufficient potential to discourage any attack on us or our allies And we have sought to do so not only with large aircraft of tremendous capabilities, but also with imposing numbers of these aircraft.

It would seem that 1,610 new planes for the United States during fiscal year 1960 would hardly meet our requirements for keeping our combat and air transport systems at their present strength. Hardly a day goes by that we do not read of one, two or three air accidents in which military planes are completely destroyed. There must also be numerous incidents in which planes are damaged beyond repair of which we never hear.'Then too, this country is bound to have a great many planes which become obselete with each

^rvin Sees Three !'ssues At Hanc.

Br LYNN NISBET

PROBLEMS Senstor Bam Ervin says the three big iiuiues to be met by the Congress sre Civil Righte, Labor and National Defense, He did not Indicate which he thinks is moat Important, but reminded the 350 guesU at the Capital area Development Association dinner that problems rslated to thej^e lasues overlap and naturally Involve ftnancea and many other phases of government. HI* appraisal of these three as top issues may be because his major committee as-sisnmeats are in this area.

Senator Everett Jordan, with different major committee as-Ignments, might give priority to other topics. Senator Ervin emphasired the point that civil rights" covers a much wider field than race relations and voting: that the "labor" Isaue cannot be considered entirely apart from big business and farming, and that none of these matter* will retain Importance without adequate national defense,

Whils dealing mainly with national and International matters, the Senator gave more attention to local oevelopment than In some of his speeches. He noted the Capital Area is one of severs! regional development grouiwi through which communities with common interest are working together. He emphasised, too, that ths seven counties comprising this association have ^ more historic and recreational at-tractions than most people reallze. Opinion is rather general that rsoreatlonal facilities of wide attraction are limited to the benches and mountains, with a ^ few small resort centers in between, Also ihst flue-cured tobaren Is essential to the eco-Bomie sUbillty of this seven-oimty area. Reports submitted at the meeting the other night showed wide variety of attractions and diversity of farm and factory products.

AREAL The several area dsvelopment associations tie operating without Slate aid, except as State officials and members of the iinlveislly faculties contribute time, and in most In-tanoes without tax support In any of the communities. The projects are financed by donations from individuals and cort>orallons in ths area, and from profits derived from coopersUve ventures.

Ths Siste as a whole spends a considerable stun, though re-laUvely amall In relation to total revenue, In development and promotional work. A number of counties snd munlclpaltttrs have voted special taxes under leglslatlvi authority, and oUiers have appropriated nontax re-revenue (Chiefly ABC profits) to support of chsmbers of commerce and IndiLstrial councils.

Suggestion has been made that

ths upcoming Legislature might be asked to appropriate directly, or to authorise regional voting of special taxes, to further development of ares associations. More than 30 years ago there was Eastern North Carolina Chamber of Commerce, embracing some 15 or 20 counties, There are several oranlr.aMons now-such as Ihe Albemarle Assocla-tlons, the BENO Beach Association, the Carolina Highlanders and others which retain some activity.

The groups like the Capitsl Area outfit were organised more recently, largely at the instance and because of the leadership of Archie K. Dnvls, chairman of the Board of Wsrhovla Bank and Trust Co. Davts is coming to the senate this year from Porsyth county, and there will be little surprise if he seeks to strengthen the idea through legislative action. He can assemble some Irnpresslvo figures ,ln supfiort of the idea, ELECfriONS Alilwugh 1M9 Is generally regarded as a non-elwrtlon year because thert will be regular primary or general electlCMi of State and county officers, more than one-third of the voting cltlaetii in the state wlli have important elections. All but a amall handfid of the incorporated towns and cities will elect town governing boards in May. Already there is a good deal of activity in the larger cities about prnspectlvs candidates and issufs.

There are varied election methods. Some municipalities havs partisan government with primaries for nominating candidates, Majority are nonpartisary or hi pariiaan. A few towns have the convention or town meeting system. The time for new officers to take over control also varies widely. Some go In Immediately after the voles are certified, while others take office at beginning a fiscal year July

Congressman iftastl Whltener of Gastonia two or three years ago suggested a plan for uniform dale of elections and oath-taking. Instead of having elect-lutii spaced all along from March to June, he would have evary municipality elect officers on Tuesday after the first Monday in NovcmlMT of every otld num-leered year, This would correspond with election of members of the Oencral Assetnbly, county and state officials on that date of even years. Effect would be to keep the populace conscious of election (Isy. By slight adjustment in constitutional provisions these odd numbered year affairs could be classed as general elections, thus pie-cludlng necessity for the Oen-ersl Assembly to designate other dates and add to confusion of when and where to vota.

pasging year .,. and perhaps with each pasafnif month . . . planes that must be junked because of old age or new developments.

While we are aware that great emphasis must be placed on the development of missiles, it does not appear logical at the moment for us to relegate to a secondary position our need for manned/aircraft either for direct combat or for transport. Though the number qf new planes provided for in the proposetd budget for fiscal 1960 is only 150 less than was called for in the current year, we question whether this number of new planes each year can even maintain our status quo in air power.

When Congress reviews the budget requests for our nations defense, it should give careful attention not only to the development of missiles and other advanced weapons; but likewise to the problem of keeping our more conventional weapons at sufficient strength to offer us genuine protection during this period of transition.

Virginia Desperately Needs New Approach

Where will Virginia go from here?

That question is being asked throughout Virginia as well as in other Southern states in the wake of two court decisions this week which struck down Virginias "massive resistance" laws to fight integrated schools.

Gov. J. Lindsay Almond is rapidly developing plans for new laws designed to preserve segregation in the schools of Virginia. At the same time Norfolk school authorities apparently are making plans to reopen schools on an integrated basis as soon as possible. In other places In Virginiawhere schools have been closed, plans are being made more cautiously for the re-opening of schools.

There Is obvious confusion. There Is great consternation In Virginia at both the decision of the states Supreme Court and the decision of the three-judge federal court which labled unconstitutional Virginias "tnassive resistance" laws.

There !x one thing which is made clear, however. Virginia's "massive resistance" laws are without legal foundation. They are in conflict with the constitution of that state as well as in conflict with the federal constitution as now interpreted. There would appear little to he gained by Virginia in continuing to pursue its "massive resistance" approach to the fight against integrated schools. Virginia will have to find a new avenue of approach to the matter of preserving insofar as possible its system of segregated schools.

What Virginia does in this new situation In which she finds herself will be watched closely not only in North Carolina, but elsewhere as well. It is to be hoped that as quicky as possible Virginia will find some workable means under which its more than 10,000 youngsters who have been out of school since last fall will be able to return to their classrooms.

Though often forgotten in the current struggle over public schools, it Is the children who are most severely penalized when schools are forced to close their doors.

Another Hurdle Coming

After warmly eongrfttulatlnff myeelf, the household snd the office on esGsplng s resUy bad cold thus far this winter, dismay Is re-raised on resdlng that February is the worst month for the common cold.

In fact, It says here that February is to colds ss August Is to hsyiever. . .a beautiful equation for the mathematically minded.

Spelling out what all this means to me, February poses one more hurdle to clamber over (my leaping and jumping days are long gone) before concern over winter colds can relax.

There quickly follows a span of months in which to be alert against spring colds: and then those summer colds are waiting In line to bring a unique kind of misery witb its sniffles.

To some amongst us. life Is Just one hazardous period after another. We live dangerously.

But about the cold;

There are approximately ten nUllion horribly healthy Americans who won't catch a cold all year long. Thats a good round number to reflect upon, especially Americans snuffling their way along the road of life. The same information source says that people who catch colds usually have two or three a year . . .which figgers out to a lot of medicine-buying.

The annual cold biff in the United States is estimated at between two and three billion dollars is said to have kept a ten-year record of Illness among its 100,000 employes and found that 54 per cent of absences due to sickness were caused by the respiratory group of diseases.

Prevention remains the best cure. And that means lots of rest and a proper diet fortified by vitamins.

Somehow, the prospect of spending February In bed, and eating my weight in steaks and vitamin capsules sounds like a

dull way to exist, even combatting a cold.

Just cant see my way free

from living dangerously another month and that chapter in my life entitled Man vs. Virus.

WASHINGTON (AP) One of the best insights into the mind and tactics of Sen, Lyndon Johnson, leader of the Senate Democrats, is In the kind of civil rights bill he offered Tuesday.

The Johnson bill Is strictly a compromise; too mild for the liberal, too strong for the Southern Democrats. But If any civil rights bill can pass this year, its probably thU one. or one like H, Just because It Is nUddle-road.

Beciuse it's that kind. H fits completely a description of Johnson given last week by one of his closest assQCiatea; "Here in Washington issues are all around us. But Johnson doesn't try to create issues: he tries to settle them."

Johnson uses compromise to do two things ntslnly: to inch forward and to avoid long fights that create blttcrnees and delay the Senates work.

One of his aides said: Sometimes hell talk to as many as 50 people, in Congress, in government. outside government to get the best advice he can before he makes up his mind. He's a brslnpicker.

"Sonu't lines he finds, through these consullallons In and out of Congress, that a alight change in the wording of s bill means the difference between enough voles to get U through and determined opposition."

All this, of course, is in addition to the many favors he docs f(r fellow senators, who are not unmindful when he badly needs them.

Hiving made up his mind, he

turns to strategy: picking the time and the situation for making his move. He gave a demonstration of that Tuesday.

Both the Eisenhower administration and the Senate liberals sre expected to offer civil rights legtslation fairly soon. Sofe bills already are in. Before others were offered, Johnson unexpectedly produced his proposal.

This got him the maximum aU tcntion for his bill. It became a yaidsUck for Judging other proposals made later. By being first with a compromise bill, he took the steam out of any more far-reaching bills.

Johnson did the same kind of thing on the opening day of this new Congress. LiberaLs had said they'd put up a tough fight to change a Sejiiate rule to make it ea.sier to smash a flltbuster.

On opening day, before they had a chance to open their mouths. Johnson offered a plan to make it just a very little bit easier to smash a filibuster. The librala didnt like it and neither did the Si)utherners, but for opposite reasons.

But because It meant only a mild change, the Southerners did not ftllbuster and the change w ent through. What had seemed ou opening day as a long fight was cleared up in less than one week.

In 1057 Johnson did what many people had considered impossible he steered through the Senate the first real civil rights bill to pass in this century, ft was truly a compromise bill, too mild for the liberals, too strong for the Southr erners yet not strong enough to cause a Southern filibuster.

Other Eiditors Saying... Should Support Hodges

(Goldsboro News-Argus)

Senator John P. Kennedy of Massachusetts, in Charlotte for an address, made his manners in the direction of Governor Hodges as a vice presidential candidate on the Democratic ticket next year. He did it most graciousjy with well chosen words.

Governor Hodges, he declared, would add distinction to any ticket, He said he spoke from per.'ional knowledge and ad-mlrathm of and fen- our favorite governor.

Naturally a man come visiting from another state wishes to do the correct and courteous thing toward the state and its chief executive. But the words from the Senator have too genuine a ring to be mere courteou* pleasantries.

Hodges as a vice preiidenttal candidate for the Democrats would make sen.se.

Despite the cantankerousness. If not contempt, of Chairman Butler, it is vital for Democratic prospects that the South stay with the party in the coming election. It is most important that the South does not take a walk.

Hodges is the best prepared to assure these conditions for the Democrats ol all names which

come to mind. He is a moderate who by his own wsord and example has the re.spect of both sides of the segregation and civil rights question. His position of superior Influence in Uie Council of Southern Governors gives him authority wherever he appears.

North Carolina can offer Hodges w^ell and above the favorite son category. He had won for himsolf in the national Democratic circle a place of responsibility and respect with service in Europe even before he tried politics on his own at home. His broad acquaintance with party leaders throughout the nation would be valuable for the ticket. His acquaintances are found as often in the ranks of Influence in the East and Middle West as in ihe South.

As a campaigner Hodges would be a great help to the ticket. We have only to think of his success with public relations in the "sell North Carolina" tours to New York. Chicago and Philadelphia to recognize this. He Is equally at home on radio, television or in the press conference. He Is an excellent speaker and definitely of the modern version that relics on logic and not platitudes.

The Democrats need Hodges. North Carolina should organize a campaign in his behalf.

In other years, during their campaign season, the mails were full of March of Dimes publicity handouts from the national headquarters. Not all of it was carried by new'spapers (who prefer a local approach), but occasionally an editor with a bit of spare space would use the news release . . . hoping it might help.

But these days the March of Dimes mail traffic Is remarkably light.

Could be, that with the means at hand to route polio, ttie foundation is briefly I'ssting on Its oars, But another, and more likely answer might lie in the adding of birth defects and arthritis as targets. Instead f one enemy, now there are three. This requires a whole aeir plan of campaign.

Organising such-a program is a tremendous undertaking.

As of now, the publics dread of birth defects and arthritis doesnt match fears of infantile paralysis during the months it was most communicable or widespread.

Birth defects and arthritis cases far outnumber polio patients, even in the worst polio seasons; but the problems were given relatively modest attention. In terms of pain and wasted lives they dwarfed polio.

Now a big effort is underway to change all this. There are still polio patienta who need help, but the army of arthritic victims and children born with defects of the central nervous system aU are waiting their turn.

Those dimes and dollars going to the March of Dimes this year are the forerunners of a campaign that is really only Just getting started. It all depends on how badly we want another victory for health. Isnt it worth something to you?

By KBJC GOTTGETREU HAIFA, Israel, (AP) MAlw eel Yanku is a pioneer.

In SwitZ4N'laiid and Germany more than 40 years ago, the Bucharest-bffin painter and archi-tech was a leader Dadaism, one of the most avantguard movementa in modem srt.

Today, the 63-year-oId Yanku is among the top-nmking painters of Israd. And in addition he ia the countrys most colorful community leader: mayor of the Ain Hod artists' settiement, a cluster of Oriental houses perched on a MU south of the Mount Carmel range overlooking the Eastern Mediterranean.

He settled it himself.

Ain Hod is quite different from lets say, Greenwich Village, Chelsea or perhaps Ascona with its Monte Verita. Its history probably began in the 13th On-tury when the Crusaders built tba mighty fortress and harbor town of AtUt, half way between Caesarea and what is today Haifa Bay.

In the same period, it seems, they built Ain Hod more exposed to refreshing winds a sort of summer resort. Tha same large pre-Gothic arches found in AtUt can be seen in some of Uui old houses of Ain Hod. Others stand in the open.

Ain Hod, which is Arabic for Fountain of Splendor," was inhabited by Arabs till the Palestine war of 1948. Then the in-habitanU fled the country.

For some time the rather dilapidated houses remained emp-

triad to Mve thw, but it did not work. There was not enough water despite the romantic nameno electricity, no road to anywhere, and the soU wasnt Try fertile.

The newcomers also left and with no one there the Israel security authorities were somewhat wwried. To have an empty village close to one of the main roads and rail links of the country didnt seem expedient. They decided to blast the place.

Then Yanku stepped in.

Working at that time for th Town and Country Planning Department of the Israel Ministry of Interior, he had been charged with a survey of possible sites to be kept as natural preserves. Ain Hod with all Its romantic beauty was Just what he waa looking for.

"Okay, said the security people, "you may keep the place if you And enough madmen tc live there. We giv you two weeks.

An appeal wimt out to the 700 members of the Israel Artists Assn. Seven took the trouble to look at Ain Hod. Three said they would live there.

But Ain Hodism was conta* gious and others fi^lowed the first three. Th Ministry of Labor paid a group of workers to clean up the place. The Haifa Municipality adopted" it and helped out by building a road and a water reswrvolr and Installing a telephone. The artists themselves did much to make the village honwy.

ome artists have Jobs In town and come to Ain Hod only for a prolonged weekend, but others live there permanently. This is true wtrticularly for those occupied in one of the Ain Hod workshops, such as ceramics, weaving, jewelry making, oliv wood carving or even lithographic arts.

A fine album has Just been Issued with lithographs by Ain Hod artists. Some are among the best of the countrythough it would not be. correct to speak of a specific Ain Hod School."

It's a success, this vllag without agriculture. Tourists come in good numbers. For those In a hurry, a good selection of the paintings, sculptured and workshop products of Ain Hod is always on show in th eoopejatively administered art gallery on the piazza of the village opposite the hospitable ca terrace.

AMID THE DEAD

in two of the Gospels there is an account of our Lord' encounter with a man from the coiintiy of the Oadarenes who had hi dwelllna among the tombs. He had an unclean spirit Uiat IS, was insane "and no man could bind him, no, not with chains."
