PHEasURE - Always tbf day or two before the formal convtn-liui of a General Assembly finds Halcigh hotels crowded with the vanguard of legislators, lobby* iMts and spectators. Usually U ts a gala cK^caslon for a happy group of people, renewing old acquaintances and making new friends. 1 he crowd Is here, has been since Sunday afternoon, but the atmosphere is more tense than gala, Legislators and lobbyists are striuus-mlndedly going about the business of soliciting support for the two candidates for Speaker of the House and two for President pro tern of the Senate, Ihey have had no time to play. Both contests are closer than any time In 20 years, and there is too much it itakt for monkey business,

Addison Hewlett of New Hanover and Carl Venters of Onslow each came to Haleigh claiming enough voles to assure election as Speaker of the House. Since the Speaker will appoint the coiTimillee* and channel bills to them, the stakes are high b<Jtb

Although the Governor has repeatedly said he is taking no personal hand In either race, there Is Indisputable evidence that his close associates in and out of State government have applied all the preaaure they could in behalf of Morgan, and to slightly less degree for Venters In the House. This pressure has been liitcnslfted since arrival of the early corners Sunday, and Is expected to continue until the final vote in the caucuses Tuesday night,

The race la so close for Speaker that Secretary of State Thad Kure, who has watched legislatures clMiely for 30 years, has had two seating chart plates prepared and has arranged for printers to stay on the job through Tuesday night to print the appropriate chart after the caucus. It's the second time in the eleven sesalons he has served T T as Secretary of State when such arrangement was deemed nK;-essary. The other occaakm was In Ifi.'iu when a three-way contest resulted In a two vole margin for Libby Ward over Victor Bryant, When the I.ieflslature

WASHINGTON (AP) --This Is the story of how a giant grew

up

Gone Ts the cool Western feeling of luperlority. In its place; uneasiness, worry, aelf-crltlclsm. Ten years have brought the Soviet Union setf-confldenci and achievement.

Ten years ago. compared with the United States, the Soviet Union was away back in the economic woods Hope waa being expressed here that Soviet clU-aena, fed up with tyranny and poor living, would kick up their heels

There la UtUe of that any more, There la no evidence to aupport It.

Today the Soviet Union la Indisputably the worlds second economic power and is closing the gap it has shown such arnsaang actentlflc and Induatrial progress no one here is trying to laugh off the danger.

Instead Premier Ntklta 8. Khrushchev's boast about closing the gap, and Soviet accompUsh-ments, have forced debate on whether this government U doing ail it can to keep the gap open.

This country decries soclallam. But, Ironically, too much Soviet progress could force the American government Into even greater participation In the American economy

The greater the participation, the greater the degree of socialism

Ten years ago the United Stales oulclHssed the Soviet Union mlll-larlly. Not now Hardly anyone anymore predicts victory for either side In war. The guMwlng now Is that both aldea might be obliterated, *

Ten years ago at this time the Soviets did not have an atom Iwmh. Tlif United States atlU had a monopol,v. .It was not until September l49 that the Soviets had their flrat atomic exploaton.

Then the United State* went on to develop the hydrogen bomb. The Soviet* *oon caught up with that, too. Now both aide* have a plentiful supply of both kinds of bomba.

In 10 years the Soviet* have made gigantic atrlde* with jet planea, ubmarlnea and miaslle*. A decade ago the idea of an Intercontinental mlsaile was only a gleam In a sclentlats eye.

It was a shattering blow to American complacency when In the fall of 1957 the Soviets sent up their Sputnik*. They showed their continued lead and superiority in this field with their moon shot in 195*.

There 1* no better evidence of American concern than the searching investigation begun last week by the Senate Preparedness subcommittee into the state of American mlssUe development as compared with the Soviet Union,

The Elsenhower administration take the position that the mlsaile gap has been exaggerated. The President himself said last week he sees no reason for a "hang do* attitude of humiliation

The fact that word "humiUa-tion" occurred to him In relation to the Soviet Union -- is a sign of the limes.

The Democratic leadership In Congresii acc\ise.s the administration of concealing information about the muslle gap and putting economy ahead of nation* 1 security.

While the debate goes on Recretary of State John Foster Dulles paid an Indirect tribute to the SovleLi' growing power by deciding to fly to Europe for con-sulUUon* with the British, French and West Oermam

The Soviet determination gel the Allies out of West Berlin has jolted the West Into tense uneastneaa. Dulles' trip. It aeeim. la an effort to mend fence*. to five assurance*, to calm nerves.

Other Editors Saying... Indentical Crimes

(WMhtagtoa Dally News)

This may or may not be a true story. But two men were Indicted and charged with identical crimes. One was a rich man, and the other waa a pauper. The rich man hired a battery of outstanding lawyers to defend him. The poor man had no counsel to defend him.

When the trial came along, both men wwe convicted, and ix>th were sentenced to the loads. Before enterre* were announced, the lawyer* defending the rich man argued that their client had auffered enough. He had lost his social position* he had lost his leadership in the community: the mental angtUsh he had suffered over the crime was sufficient punishment for him. But the judge would not go along with the argument.

However, the rich man's attorney* entered an appeal. The poor man left to serve hia time in prison. When the case reached the higher court, a new trial was oi-dered for the rich man.

When the second trial was held, again the Jury found the rich man guUty. But this time the arguments that hla loss of social position, of leadership, and the mental snguish he had suffered Impressed the judge, and he let the rich man off with probation and fine.

But the pauper was already in prison serving hla time. The public Immediately began to talk In tetm.s of the scales of Justice being Upped in favor of the rich man. On the street corner* on# . might ssy "the rich man got out, but the poor man g<A the pri

son.

This atory conceivably could happen many times in the annals of American justice. It probably has happened. The courts erf justice cannot weigh truthfully a mans inward feelings. There Is no measure of remorse and regret a man Aiight feel. But Uie very fact that Identical crimes meant prison for one man and freedom for another la not a good recommendation for American Justice.

Regardless of how we try to change the working conditions of our courts in North Carolina, we art going to find that in certain cases people will feel that true Justice is Impossible. Bui that very fact *:*:)uld not stand in the way ot coLU t reforms where reforms are practical and needed. We will reach perfection in this matter of meting out justice. We do not condone in any sense one type of JusUee for the rich man and another for the poor man. But we all feel it has happened Inadvertently or otherwise on many occasions In the history of our courts.

What we do to improve our court system In North Carolina will be of great value in Improving Justice to all. The coming legislature will hear much about court reforms. The people of North Carolina one day will go to the polls to speak out on court reform proposals.

We will never reach perfection, but we should work toward it. And the court reforms now propo.sed in North Carolina will mean much In our quest for fuller Justice for all the rich man and the poor man alike.

Years Of The

Doubts

By HAL BOYIX

NEW YORK (AP) - They ay there is nothing nunre awk^ ward than being a teen-ager.

Weil, there is something more awkward. It's being in "the in-betwMn age." I mean between 40 and SO.

A teen-ager has at least one consolation )% is growing up. But a man in the in-between age, is be is growing at all. is growing down.

It isnt life that begins at 40 ITS DOUBT.

It U also confusion. Your in-between-ager is just a crazy, mixed-up kid, trying to find an ego.

The period between 40 and 50 is Just a vale of years when one is netther young nor elderly, and can't qtrfte get used to considering oneself middle-aged.

Here is a picture erf the t!ypl> eal in-between-ager;

' He is not altogether bald but. on the other hand, combing his hair isnt a majcx* exercise with him.

If he does ten deep knee bends before breakfast, he has the bends the rest of the day.

It takes him until noon to feei as good as 1:^ used to at dawn. Every time he successfully eats Every time he siwcesafully eats a piece of com on the cob it is a moral victory foor his dentist.

He gets suspicious <rf doctors. He becomes angry at atenog-raphers because they have never learned to spell words h# has not forgotten how to spell.

Promotion - wise, hes in a swamp too old to be a Junior executive, and too young to be a senior executive.

He tries to hide the fact Ubat no longer has the steam to stay up late by remarking, "Nobody ever said anything memor-Able after midnight."

He atarts listening to his wife. He now and then finds himself agreeing with her that is. unless she is proposing going out for the evening.

It takes him three martinis at the office Christmas party to say th^ things to his boss he used to say after one.

He never sees the moon set any more, but he finds himself waking earlier and earlier, for no reason. And lying in bed, he comper the sunrises of today with the sunrises of his boyhood. They are as beautiful, but colder, and the sun seems farther away. It is a yellow stranger.

When he finally gets up, It takes him longer to clear his throat than it used to take him to shave and dress.

But your man in the in-between age is cheered by one thought. Things may get worse after 30, but he wont mind them. He feels hell be too numb to notice any m(H*e change.

Opinions In Brief

"There has been timidity In ipvemment In facing up to the protrfm of wage-push inflation because it has been so generally viewed as one involving conflict between employees and management. This is a fallacious view, since the employees interest in avoiding inflation and assuring maximum progress Is fully as great as that of management. Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield.

"The great majority of people want the integrity of their money protected, their form of government preserved, their free enterprise system to survive. We must have a' national crusade frwn the grass roots to save our representative democracy.

How much Is a billion dollars^ Let us put I' tills way; If a man had been Ivrn on# bllUon dollars the 8V Christ was born and he and Ms de.srendenta had spent one thousand dollars a (av ' vcrv day from the year one of he Christian era until the >ear 1959, tht,billion dollara would still not be expended.

By ELMER ROESSNER The popular idea that the 19f.3 recession wa.*; ended by "built in" stabilizera is more or les.s chopped to hamburger by V Lew-la Bassie. director of the Illinois University Bureau of Economic and Business Research and one of the frequent dissidents to modern economic thinking.

Other economists have told us that there are automatic brakes to economic runaw'aya: that if large numbers of workers are laid off unemployment benefits will roitore their purchasing power, ending the downhill roll; that U farm price* drop, government purchases and loans will rastore farm purchasing power and all will be well again.

GOVFRNMF.St srENDINT. I P Oovci nmentai outlays did ' ior

crease sharply. "No doubt some IW8 projects were of an antirecessionary character. Dr. Bassie wrote in the Illinois Buslnejw Review. "The upsurge in highway building, for example, was stimulated by Federal funds made specially available. But this stimulus was specific to the situation and I* properly a Federal rather than a state and local contribution."

Various other Federal programs have been cited as help ful In ending the recession, which indeed they were But with the exception of trtn.sfer payments. n<ii were automatic stsblltrers. according to Dr Basile. "Transfer payments" is the economists tirade name for unemployment benefits, old-age 'pensions, veterans aid and other devices by which money is transferred from people's pocket* to those whom the government thinks neipd it more

Dr, Bassie notes these four types of spendinr which were gencralb regarded as automatic brakes on recrs.siona but which weit, in actuality far from aui-

iiiatic;

SPI TMK. NOT AITOMATION

1. Increases in defense spending. These "began with sputniks: it took several months to reverse the downward movement underwary and subsequently Uie disturbances in Lebanon and que-moy added fuel to the fire. Military considerations were decisive In this area."

2. Housing, Building was stimulated "by action* taken to make terms easier to home buyers. and to make funds available for mortgage financing. The action* taken in this are* were ad hoc and could not he automitl-cally repeated on other occasions.

3. Farm aid. ' Price supports are more generally thought of as part of the regular stabtimng mechanism. This program wa.s originally conceived as an anti-depression measure to protect fanners against ftillng nonfarm income But personal Income was hack to record highs by Hie third quarter of 19^. Dr. Hassle points out, adding, "large in-cr eases ui aovaruttwitt porchasss

of farm commlditie* ware due. therefore, not to falling income but to record production."

4. Pay increases of government employees. These. Dr. Bassie point* out, were not automatic, but the result of special lgisla-Uon. "They are primarily the result of well-known lags in bringing government compensation in^ line with rising incomes m the private economy "

Tba views are refreshing and they serve to remind that while there are some built-in recession brakes; the things that stopped the recent skid were not these brakes, but other one* applied at the spur of the moment. SCANDALOLS LIMERICKS TO SPARE. ANYONE?
