H^sh Penalties Seemingly Favored

If North Carolina is to make the severity of the punishment in keeping with the seriousness of the crime, the legislature should pass the proposal now be-fore it to stiffen penalties both for actually destroying or damaging schools and churches, and for making

hoax bomb calls. ^

Since last Novehiber when the wave of hoax bomb calls began to North Carolina schools, countless stu-dent-hours have been lost from classes because of evacuation of schools. In some cases the same school has been distrubed day after day, resulting in students being dismissed from classes.

And the fact that some persons responsible for such calls have been apprehended and punished has not put a stop to the calls. They continue week after week, though in lesser numbers than was the case several months ago.

North Carolinians have made it amply clear in the past that they will not tolerate violence or destruction in connection with their schools and churches. The public has also voiced Us condemnation of pranksters and agitators who disrupt schools through hoax bomb calls.

The legislature should follow the pattern established (by the citizenry by writing into law stiffer penalties for such crimes.

The bill now before the legislature would make the destruction of a school or church, or the attempted destruction of a school or church by bombing or fire punishable with pfison sentences ranging from TO to 60 years The same bill provides that persons guilty of making- hoax bomb threats may be punished by up to 10 years in prison, and by fines up to$500.

While these penalties may sound harsh, It should be realized that such crimes against the people of any state or community within the state are sufficiently serious to Justify such punishment.

Harsh penalties for such crimes will certainly make individuals think twice before making a fake bomb call to a school or setting off a charge which will damage or destroy a church or school.

ROUGH WEATHER Sign n the horteon are that omt of th* adminlstraUon budget Item and reorganlsyiUon plana are in for rough weather. There ia belief In some quarter that Governor Hodgea may not have any more trouble* than he experUsn-ced in 1957, although there are more open expreaaiona of objection.

One veteran legislator who in-aiat that he 1 neither pro nor anti aeea a chance that It might be easier for the admlnlatratlon forces to combat oppoltlon In the open than If W were unexpressed.

Qucationa aaked at the briefing seaatona on appropriatlona and revenue bill clearly Indicated lack of full acceptance of budget recommendation In both areas. Strangely enough, expressions o far have been In favor of higher taxea to prvida reeded services, rather than objection to appropriation because they were too high and would irquire more taxea.

The agency, department and Institutional budget admittedly are more realistic than usual. The budget-makers have kept closer contact with spending officials. with result that there was less padding of request*. At the am time, many of the agencies will continua to fight lor more adequate ftmda In some special eases. This attitude was summed up pretty well by Col. Ed Kirk, assistant dta-ector of CltD and secretary to the State Ports Authority.

We ara tak-ly wall satisfied with the CfcD appropriation, he aald. "although wa will ask for adjustments In soma Items. Asked about the porta Item he aald he ooukl not believe the AutorhUy would remain silent 1 view of the drastic cuta in requested aOocaUoiui.

TRAVEL Prior to the 1957 aesaion of the General Assembly members got no allowance for travel or hvlng expenses while attending to their Icgtslatlve duties, Purauant to constltutloiml amaadmeni ratified by popular vote In 1956, they were allotted the aama per diem expenses as other State employees, and the sama travel allowance for one round trip for the enthe session,

A MU has been offered In Uie House by several far western members authorlatng payment for on# round trip every two weeks during any regular or spealal session.

This matter of weekly or hl-wedkly trips home ties Ur with ttte kmg established practice of holding only perfumtory se-slotui on faturday. and no committee meetings on Friday nnd

Monday. Members get per diem pay of $15 a day for 120 days and $0 subsistence allowance as long 8 the session lasts, both Including Saturdays and Sundays.

The weekend trips home, occasioning the short Friday and Monday meetings, are justified by the argument that it U Important for legislators to confer with their conatUutents particularly with local officials about pending legislation. For mountain members living as much as .ViO miles from Raleigh the travel expense la a big Item.

Just how much of It the State should contribute Is questioned by many taxpayers who point out that legislators mostly want to go home for their own private business and professional Interests, It la the ame old problem of differences between the folks who incur expenses and the folks who must pay the bill, whether in public service or private enterprhie.

JORDAN U. S. Sen. Everett Jordan visited his Raleigh office the other day on his way to his home at Saxapahaw and while here talked with some of his constUutcnts. Senate business was light on account of the Lincoln holiday and he took the time to loTJk after a few business matters of his own.

He told the story of a boyhood friend named Felix who served in World War I AEF. Veterans of that war will remember there waa a lot of grotmd based hand to hand fighting. On one occasion Felix and his company were ordered out of the trenches to meet an enemy charge. He saw a great big German diving at him with drawn bayonet, and later reported this reaction; I came over her to fight for liberty, but right now Im fighting for Felix. The Senator said there are tiroes when every Flix has to do a little fighting for himself.

Senator Jordan said that as the with Congress gets into stride Lyndon Johnson of Texas, majority leader, is growing in stature as a statesman. He reports that Johnson and Sen. Everett Dlrksen, nUnorlty leader, understand each other's attitude and problems and get along well together.

He is still too new to speak authoritatively on mo.st sub-jecU, but he Is very optimistic about prosimts for reasonable" Federal legislation on civil rights and other matters affert ing tle South and the rather vague but often publlci/cd Southern viewpoint,

Asked for comment on the North Carolina l,eglslalure, the Senator said he had enough pro hlems In his own bailiwick

Look at it this way: -

The whole country is geared to a capability of overproduction.

Right now its especially evident in agriculture .,, and it is expensive when one looks at the burden of meeting surplus problems.

It is evident in industry . . . and it's expensive when one looks at the ability to produce at full capacity for a few months then coast for the remainder of the year. Employment figures dwindle during that aea-sonal layoff time, and unemployment costs get out of hand.

Noteworthy, in following this line of thought, is that even today when business and industry are moving into a new wave of prosperity, that it can be done without rehiring many laid off workers or the hiring of more workers. It's a matter of productive capability far above the need.s of Americana,

Its a fantastic .suggestion, but in the light of what we've seen in the Ia.st ten years, if agriculture and industry were opened up to 100 per cent capacity of production, America could probably feed, clothe and provide necessities and luxuries for its own people and all of Europe.

And as that capacity picked up momentum, the power to produce even more would likely be thrown into the economic complex . . . requiring an even greater and greater consumer market.

In a way, this tremen<lous production potential i.s a handicap. It Is showing itself in that light jtoday. .\mcrican.s are actually taxing themaelvc.a . , , and heavily ... as a direct result of being ab!e to overproduce.

This topsy-turvy condition coul 1 lead to a point where manufacturers are paid not to menn.'nature, fishermen paid not to iisb. power companies paid not to create electricity and petroleum firms paid not to produce oil.

Why not? It has already h.aopened in agr>iilt.ure.

One trouble might he thnt America ju.st does not know its own strength. 1lie country i^ geared to another day, another time. Certainly not to the present.

WASHINGTON AP)-As Vm uniolls, the big issues brtwceu Democrats and Ilepubllcan; seem to be spending the quality o* American defense, abU iorel;; ! policy.

And at this point the wnter in which all three issues are .swimming is a little murky, or rolled, as fishermen say.

The anniversary of Abraham I.lncoln's hlfth Is one of t.he best times of the year for seeing wha'. kind of ammunition the Republicans think they have for flrlmt at the Democrats.

This year one Hepubllcan speaker after nnother hit nt spending or, to pul It another way, callevi for RoUon to avoid luflation by spending no tuore than Presi dent Elsenhower a.sked In hi budget m''sage la.'t January.

Economy was the constant theme of the speeches. In hitting this the speakers were following the lead of Elsenhower who has been banging away at the "big spenders" In the Dcmo-crallc-run Congress.

The Republican attempt to pic lure the llemoerats as ip**uderi already had gotten under the Democratic skin, with Hen. Lyndon Johnson of Texas setting the pace In firing back.

Johnson, leader of the Senate Democrats, has cracked back with phra.se,s like these: "To set up the pre.sent administration as the guardian of the balanced budget is In the same cUu>s as hiring a covote for a watchdog over .sheep "

This years Republlean spi'ak-ers hit on oilier I hemes like protecUug civil rights but ecou-oniy was the main one Tlie DenuKuats already have been a.'i.Milllug the Elsenhower rtdmlmstrattou by (luesttoulug Ihe qiialily of the defense pro-Ki am spoiusoi ed by the President They a.sk; IS defeiuse being jeo-

pairtUed by FUenhower economy?

This Is indeed a murky field iince ih.f experts arc wrangling aiTioii'Jt themselves and the public IS ivirdly In a position to know who a right.

Demcrata have been critical of '.,ie adnilnlstratlona conduct of ilgn affairs but when these tif<.*i cnees are examined they rw not really basic differences out ratlier differences in details.

Avail! the public - which kno.v what the Insiders tiiow -- ct'U only guess as to who Is right.

Neverthpies.s, spending, defense and forelgr policy disputes will probably domina>e Democratic and Republic; '! 'datemenfs for the vest of the yen.

In an evolvlust ociet.v like thi.s the political issne.- seldom .^eem to change suddenly or be abandoned. Rather they change lltMe by little until, as the years go by, one finally Isnt heard of anymore and something else takes Its place.

Yet. a check back on the Issues Republicans raised at Lincoln Day dinners in past years shows that at least one thing which w as an t.sue in 195t la still being hammered on.

It was spending. In IH.jO Pre sldent Truman and Ida Demo-craUc administration had the job of running the country now held by Eisenhower and liLs ad-nuutstratlon and what he called the reckless spending" and ".soelulLsllc progratii.s of the New Deal"

That was also the year when Sen. Jo.seph R. McOaiThy of Wb fonsln began his crusade against Pummunlstx in government. It was ft theme which served the Hepublteaius well for u while but in four .vear, or after Mc-Parthy was luushed aside by liLs fellow senators, U faded away ft ml no one thus year was talking about U. ,

According to the news columns, Florida's chief librajlxn has relegated some more old book friends to the trash heap,

Tom Sw'ift, The Bobsey Twln.s and even The Wizard of Oz have .been given the brush-off. Horatio Alger Is similarly condemned.

With libraiies Instructed to ft! e these and other old favorites out of circulation, who else but Gov. LeRoy Collins would voice some small defense for Uncle Wiggily. I doubt even his plea for clemency will be heard. Librarians are made of stern stuff.

To tell the truth, the whole caper sounds like a publicity agents gimmick. For, during my llbrai-ybauntlng career, I have never seen The Bobsey Twins or Tom Swift books In a library.

One reason could have been that additions were made to the series at least twice a year, and what library could keep up to date. . . .could find room, . .for such prolific writing?

Actually, you acquired the.se condemned books on Christmas or birthdays: or maybe you borrowed from the neighbors kids. The most avid readers readily under

stood their taste did not mirror library-book standards.

The Horatio Alger books were a little before my time, though I did manage to beg and borrow a couple of dog-eared and cover-less old Alger stories to sate an eleven-year-old curiosity. Even then I regarded them as collectors items rather than a standard for contemporary boys books.

Contemporary books did I aay? The bookstores were full of them . . .The Rover Boys, Dick Hamilton and Pee-Wee Harris series, to name a few. And Id be among the first to aay they had no place in librariea: but as mentioned before, theres no reason to make a big case out of it by going to a governor.

There wet-e, and still are, worae things for boys to read than the Tom Swift or Horatio Alger books.

In them, readers of impression-abla years learn the word Honor is something more than an excuse for drawing a gun; that "pluck" and grit (words that seem archaic, today) win out in the end; that honesty pays; that re

spect and courtesy are not empty words. In brief all the the old virtues were vividly exemplified and painlessly taught.

Ive been out of touch with reading tastes of succeeding eras of small boys. Comic books, for awhile, seemed to be a big thing; but the hue and cry raised over them seems to have faded away. , . .Whether due to

acceptance or a faliJn popularity

lT

is uncertain to mt A few years from now, reading tastes of two vei*y young people very close to me will become imporatnt again. And if they arent all wrapped up in reading Constitutional law or the latest missile manuals, they could do worse than meeting some friends I knew nearly 80 years ago.

For Today

Othe: Editors Saying... Has Opinion Changed?

{r<oldslM>ro News-Argus)

There are straws In the wind which indicate that possibly the attitude of members of the General Assembly toward a cig-nretlc tax has chgnged.

Four years ago when the subject was broached aa a new source for state revenues, the legislators gave It .short shrift.

Many of you will recall what happened in Wayne County. The News-Argus, purely as a matter of information, stated a straw vote on the topic. It published coupons In the paper and invited readers to vote their ideas. The Durham Sun and the Greensboro Record, at the invitation of the News-Argus, joined in the poll.

In Wayne there had never been anything like It, Straw votes by the thoiLsands poured In. Leaders opposed to the idea, including some members of the General Assembly, organized canvass crews which visited churches and Sunday Schools on the Sabbath and colkH'ted votes by the hundred .

In Wayne the vote was stu-penduoiLsly against any cigarette lax In Durham and in Greensboro the number of votes cast was only a fraction of those cast ni W.iyne.

Tobacco farmers In Wayne felt as If they were opposing a di

rect tax on their raw tobacco.

The leaden who campaigned strenuously to get this opinion reflected in vbe poll, so strenuously that the personal and uninfluenced vote was impossible, argued that it would be psychologically bad for the greatest tobacco growing, cigarette-making state to Impose a tax on the manufacturered product.

Now the cigarette tax is being mentioned, along with other possibilities. as a source for millions for schools and or for other state purposes. The opposition of four years ago apparently has calmed down to an extent at least. Some of thoec who so violently objected that that Ume, feeling that they were protecting themselves and their people, are taking a close second look.

They have been traveling in the more than 40 states which have a cigarette tax. They have noted that con.sumptlon of cigarettes in these states ia in no way reduced from that of the two or three states which have no such tax. And they are thinking of the many millions which could be added to the states revenue.

This change, let it be said, is noted in the county of Wayne, which produced such determined opposlUoiv to the idea four years ago.

There are between four and five million alcoholics in the United States today. Alcoholism Is the medical and scientific name for a moral and social evil know aa drunkenness.

An organization which does research in the field of human behavior recently issued the statement that alcohol is not a particularly important problem inasmuch as only four or five million of the seventy million drinkers In the United States let their drinking get out of control. In other words, between six and seven per cent of all drinkei fall into habits which render them practically useless to society and problems to their family. In addition there are always about as many problem drinkers as there are alcoholics. A problem drinker is a drinker who is fast becoming an alcoholic. It is a dreadful truth to confront that one out of every ten per-.sons who starts to drink will become either an alcoholic or a '.voblem drinker.

Think of this huge social, economic and moral loss sustained only because certain people want to satisfy a certain physical craving or conform to social pat-!ernjs. Four or five million alcoholics out of seventy /nillion million drinkers may not appear a matter of overwhelming importance to men who sit at desks and work on statistical charts, but if your son or daughter, your husband or wife, your brother or sLster. your father or mother is one of tho.se four mil lion ruined person.s, hen the tune changes

A statistic becomes a personal sorrow. A digit becomes a lost soul.

NEW YORK AP) - Air, that's what I require in a book, i.aid Isak Kineaen, sitting in the exclusive EUtst Side club where ehe stayed during her first visit this country.

I begin my short stories with the stage, or setting, this distinguished Danish writer continued. "Of the four elements.

It is air that matters most. For me, the element in which peopl move comes before Ute people. Isak Kineaen la a pen name. Her father was William Dincsen. a writer himself, officer In th Franeo-Prusaian war and, cim-ioualy, a one-ttme viaitor to our West where he waa for several years a trapper with the Pawnee ifuhans.

Her real aame is Barones Christenoe Kreo Blixen-Fln-ecke. But more pe<H;>le take off their hats now. and always 'will, to the abhhag aristocrat Dinesea ' than to Blixen.

Author of five books, she has had three BoMt-of-the-Month Club cholees; Out of Africa. Seven Gothie Tales and Winters Tales. Two aew books have appeared within a year, Last Tales and Anecdotes of Destiny." Theres a note of finality aboik one title, but the baroness aid:

No, I shall never stop writing. I have just had to spend a couple of years te a hospital, and all the time there I kept thinking of new things I wanted to write.

Wie was invited here under the ausfdcee of the F<hx1 Foundation Fund for the Advancement of Education and the Institute of Contemporary Arts, and she made some educational films in Washington. After fulfilling all her duties she aettited down for a few extra weeks of pure enjoyment. with the intention of seeing New York and its museums and other ceiltural activities.

Im going to accept all invitations, the said excitedly. One of them was to be guest of honor .at a (Mnner of the American Academy and National Institute.

An incredibly weightless wisp of a woman, with an almost breathless, disembodied voice, she has turned in her 70s into a sort of presence as airy and fantastic as the stories which have made her famous.

Though I didnt know I waa ' famous. she remarked, until I came to the United States.

It is here, rather than in Denmark, that she has scored her chief success.

Married in 1914 to a cousin, from whom her title comes, she lived in Africa until the early 1930s helping run a eoffee plantation.

Thwe was air in Kenya. she remembered. Born at sea level, living now only 100 yards from the shore, she occupied an African plantation 6,000 feet up.

I loved the atmoephere. I nevw felt so wen. And there were certain books, I found, that read particularly well at that altitude. Ranine, for instance, did very well.

She never went to school, but was Iwought up by governesses. She read Shakespeare, Dante. Homer, Racine, 'Turgeniev. She studied painting in Paris, and was in her 40b before she achieved much success in story writing. Though it has been rumored that she wrcke one novel under a second pseudonym, she said:

I cant write a novel. Im a story teller, I write what is passed on by word of mouth. Her stories have plot, but also they have the air of which she spoke, the air for which she admired so much Mark Twains Huckleberry Finn with xis splendid feel for the mighty river.

The people Ji her stores ar .TOt just real, they are in fact Digger than real. There is a partly ghastly quality to the scenes and action, a touch of Arabian nights, of the iMiearthly and upernatural. Was there some connection between her birth nd upbrlJOfUig in an agricuUur-q country with respected tradi-ions, and the aloof, non-involv-ed. cool handling, the classical >r anstocratic handling, of her itoihes? .% wasnt sure.

Democratic literature, she Aid, is realistic literature. I am !0t a realistic writer. And my own well-springs seem to lie far oack, in the Denmark I knew before I went to Africa in 1914.

I do aot belong as a writer to any partteular generation in Deo*
