Research Park Gets Another Boost

Location of a huge basic research laboratory in North Carolinas Research Triangle is another major step in realizing the dream of Gov. Hodges and other leaders instrumental in founding the Research Park several years ago.

^orth Carolina will also be assured of pilot plants

The announcement that Chemstrand Corp., one of the largest producers of chemical fibers, will locate its basic research laboratory in the Research Triangle adds to the importance of North Carolinas new research center both from the standpoint of the state and also from the standpoint of outside industry. It is certain to attract the attention of other large industries of the nation to the facilities which are offered in the North Carolina Research Triangle, It also adds to the importance of North Carolina as a hub of a broad area undergoing vast industrial development.

and probably full production facilities esewh^ in its borders to manufacturer items which result from the research which goes on within its borders.

The huge Chemstrand laboratory will, in itself, be another large industry for North Carolina. Of even greater long range importance, however, is the fact that it adds impetus to North Carolina's Research Triangle as a location for the research laboratories of some of the nations largest industrial concerns.

MP IT KEEPS GETTINC STEEPER MP STEEPER/

Research, both basic and applied, has become one of the most important phases of operations with many of the nations largest industries. It is an operation which is being constantly expanded and one which has become literally the backbone of many large industrial concerns.

Keep Eyes On The Ball During Home Stretch

The fact that North Carolina has set its sights on attracting the research facilities of both large and small corporations to its Research Triangle is destined to play a major role in furthering the industrial development of the state. By cultivaling in the heart f the stale a major research center for industries,

Thorough Study Of Court Section

By LYNN NISBET

THOROUGH The court Jfection of the new constitution iiAg been etudied is thoroughly almost any matter ever pre-aented to the North Carolina Legislature. A 30-member committee of the N,C. Bar Association devoted more than three years to 4i, and that committee was en-irKed for 18 months by an equal number of laymen. A constitutional commission of i,* members appointed by the Governor pursuant to resolution of the 1937 session spent the better part of two years rewriting the constltu-^n. The different versions pre-i^nied by these study groups ^re freely discussed at Joint yiieetings of the full Senate and House committees, 23 Senators and 38 Representatives.

After two anonths of such open disctuwion, the court section (Article IV) was turned over to a subcommittee of 15 5 Senators and 10 Reprcaentatives .to codify, consolidate and retsoflr-^le the divergent proposals. The Kibcommlttee worked for many days and nights and brought back R revised text to the full committee Tuesday of last week. That new text has been batted around by the Joint committee fur a total of eight or ten hours and there remains substantial disagreement among committee-Tnen. Further amendments, additions and deletions have been made in the aubcommmitlee product.

It is the hope of the respective chaiimen to get an accept-md draft of the full new constlu-"tion adopted by each committee 31cparately in time to get It printed and reported as a committee substitute early next week not later than June 3. That historic record would indicate that the proposed text ha* been as thoroughly studied as possible and refM-esents the composite thlnk-tog of more than 100 very able 'Ijjen.

INCOMPLETE Despite the thoroughneee of the 66 members of the two committees who have heard the explanations and had opportunity to discuss and ask questions, the presentation of the eonstitution still must be made to the full membership cd! the House and Senate,

An affh'matiyc vote of three-fifths of tlie entire membership in each house Is required to submit a conetitutlonal text to the people. That means 30 Senators and 7i Representatives must vote lor it. In other words, if every member of the commlltee supports the approved text (and that is very doubtful), they must get 7 more Senators and 39 more Representatives to Join them before the matt4r can be passed on for popular vote. If every one of the .V) Senators approves and nly 71 Representatives, it will fall, also tf every one of the 120 Hepreseniatlves votes a.ve, and 21 Senators say no, the

During the legislative home stretchthe pressure of business, the confusion in the ru.sh toward adjournment is the period in which most poor legislation gets written in%p Iaw-

It is a natural consequence having to- do a tremendous amount of giving attention to niajor items and having little time to devote to minor items.

North Carolinas legislature apparently is not in the home stretch of the 1950 seMsion, The Joint Appropriations Subcommittee is ready to report to the full committee, and that usually signifies the beginning of the end of a session, puring tbe next two to three weeks before adjournment, legislators in Raleigh will have to give the vast majority of their time to resolving the major money matters for the next biennium. Most other Issues will be relegated to a secondary role and will receive less ftltcntion than they would have earlier in the session.

new coastitution will be a dead duck,

It 1* Inconceivable, ip view of the haJialing that haa gone on in the committee, that the 27 Senator# and 87 Repreaentatives who have had no opportunity to hear the explanationa or participate in dlacusslon will docilely accept the committee report without a lot of questions and probably further amendment*. Opinion is growing that if attempt Ls made to ramrod through the constitution, the whole project will be endangered for this year.

SQUEEZE PLAY? Oldtlm-er are wondering if the quee/e put on the 1941 General Assembly to speed adjournment will be repeated thi* year. The sltua-tlon is very similar to that prevailing 18 year* ago.

Governor Hodges has announced his intention to accept the Invitation to Join eight other Governors for a visit behind the Iron Curtain to study how the Soviet Union handle* regional government. The party i* scheduled to sail from New York on June 23. Administration leaders are driving hard for sine die adjournment of the 19.39 General Assembly by June 13, but man.v observers think it will be nearer June :K) before orderly completion of the work can be accomplished.

It is recalled that in 1941, the first Legislature of the Broughton administration, sine die adjournment wa* officially had before the work was completed, in order to let Governor Broughton keep a date with then Ambassador Joeephus DanleU in Mexico City.

It la of common knowledge, though not of official record, that in order to permit the Governor to keep that date and still not leave town until the Legislature had adjourneii, formal raUflca-tlon of a big batch of bills was announced before the text of tlie bills had beep typed and proofread.

Secretary of State Thad Eure, then and now in charge of the enrolling office which handles bills between final passage in both houses and ratification by signatures of the presiding officer*. swore that he would never again be a party to sny such arrangement. (North Cnro-lina is the only State which does not require the Governor to sign act* before they can become law, or veto thetn and have them rennacted by two-thirds majority in each house, It Ls also the only Stale in which the legislative branch urrend-er* custody of enacted bills before they become law to a department In the executive branch )

Question now raised i* whether Governor Hodee*' desire to take the trip to Rtmsla will be used to pressure the Legislature into ill-conldered action In order to speed adiournment?

Becaune of this, the danger of poorly written bills, hastily proponed legialation being written into law during the final weeks of the session.

A the 1959 se.asion moves into its final weeks, the citizens as well as the legislators should give more careful attention to the "little matters" which come up for consideration. Otherwise poorly written laws will be adopted and ha.stiiy con-felved and altogether impractical compromises

By DON SCHLIENZ

may be reached for the sake of getting through the heavy work load which mu.st be handled.

The next few weeks wdll be the most crucial period of the 1959 session. It is a period in which both the legi.Hlators and the citizens must be on their toes to see that no legislation detrimental to the state or its people gets written into* law for lack of proper attention.

He Cast A Long Shadow

On driving to work Tuesday morn I encountered the relatively rare sight of flags in front of the court house and post office at half-staff.

Held In High Respect

By His Friends, Foes

Having been preoccuppled wrlth the glories of a morning in Carolina. the sight briefly raised a question in my mind until recalling the President had ordered it for his trusted friend John Foster Dulles.

His thoughts and words affected the day-to-day livef of us all in every crossroads and hamlet of America.

In casual conversation about a Secretary of State most of us are prone to remember his influence in far-away lands; but his role in the life ,of. say, Greenville or FarmvUle Is largely overlooked.

our armed services are presumably preparing for the enlistment rush that follows graduation time.

Later, reflecting on the honor paid to a former non-elected government official, It shaped up as a good reminder that the late Mr. Dulles was not just a Washington figure. His shadow was long.

A note from the Fleet Home Town News Center advised it is liringlng its files up to date In order to give better coverage on Navy and Marine Corps personnel from this area.

Promptly answered with the desired data, it stirred the thought

Offhand, I can think of few decisions a young grad could make that might h^ter serve him (or her) if said graduate was uncertain about going to college, the course of study to pursue, or a choice of career.

Siatenmon from around the world gathered today along with officials and rank and file citizens of the United States to pay their la,st tribute to John Foster Dulles who for the pa.st six years made and administered this nation's foreign policy.

Though often a controversial figure in ,i TT'^'4. O ' _

American circles, former Secretary Dullea apparently u ner Laitors leaving ... enjoyed the high esteem of top officials of other na-tiotiH. IIis closest allies and his most adamant opponents in the field of internalional affair,s have issued glowing tributes to the hard-working, tough Secretary ot State since his death.

Although during his career he wa.s the object of high praisf and severe criticism, it is evident that John hosler Dulles was held in high re.spect by those who liked him and also by tho.se who didnt like him, lie WHS a man of action, a man of decision, and a man W'ho remained .steadfast to what he felt right even in the face of heavy odds.

For one thing, it provides time in which to look things over before making that important and highly personal decision as to the future. For another, it removes some of the uncertainty about being called by Selective Service at a less opportune time.

Right Shoe On The Foot

Of such characteristics are great men made.

important Day To Sec. Dulles

By JAME.S MARLOW WAvSHlNOTON (AP) - Wed-nesday. May 27, had been an important day on the calendar of Secretary of State John Foster nuUes. He never dreamed how truly important It would be in a more personal sense.

It wa* to have been the cold war's da-y of crLu* and showdown with the Soviet Union over Berlin, But there t* no crisis.

Instead, it is the day of nuiles funeral with his old Uine antaKonlst and oppo.site number. Soviet Foreign MlnLMer Andrei Gromyko, flying the ocean to pay hi* la.st respect* to him.

I,a.sl Nov, 27 fbemler Nikita Khrushchev gave tlie We.stera Big Three the Unitfd Slate*, Britain and France six

month* to get their troop* out of West Berlin or face a .showdown. Ttiat placed the six months deadline at May 27.

It meant a new ciiais, but only ttie iate.nt of many, for Dulles who waa still the basy, biLstllng and eemlngly inde.*tructlble secretary of atftte. tie had no reason Uien to siuspect May 27 would be his own per.sonal deadline.

On the contrary. he immediately began a long, diplomatic battle against the Soviet deinand to free* Berlin. He wa* firm against abandoning the West Berllnera but he wa* not de-iiaiit. This time he thought it better not to be Uather he wa* rouclliatory. He made tremendou* efforts to line up the West tor % stand BRalast the Soviet preasure.

Eventually, he propo.sed that the West and the Soviet Union talk things over, Out of this proposal came the present talk.s in Geneva, between the Western toretgn imulaters and Gromyio, to find a peaceful solution to the Berlin dl.?putc,

Dulle.s helped .sh.Mpe those talk* and plan tticm They lu uan three week.s ago They havi' uceoin-plLshed nlisolutelv noihlim except to eel ovei tfie May 2' dcaditne without cri.sjs

Thev may go on for week.s. In the cud thcie may be cn.sb.

But it wa* only after the West had propoaed these Geneva talks that Khrushchev backtracked a bit and said he really didnt mean, back in November, to make May 27 a deadline.

But today the foreign ministers suspended their talks for two days so all of them including Gromyko can fly here for Dulles L* having some efefet on relations with the Soviet Union.

If Gromyko had stayed in Geneva. while the We.stcrn minLster.* flew here a final tribute to DulUis, the U S S R, in the worlds eye* would have looked gviilly of sullen bad taste,

ThL* will give an idea of DuUes efforts to avoid the May 27 ciLsL* after Khi u.slichev*a demand and warning on NoV. 27:

On Nov. 30 he flew to AugURla, Ga,. to talk.* with Pre.sident Kl.*enltower about It. On Deo 4 tie was in San FYanclsco making a foreign policy speech. He came back here the next day and wont Into Walter Heed Army Hospital to get a checkup on an Inte.stlual Intlammation, There w as alw ays the possibility he was having a recurrenre of the lii-le.stinal cancer for wlilch he had undergone surgery two year* earlier

On Dec. 12 he got up out of his haspltal bed. visited Elsenhower at ttie While Hou.*e and that same day took a plane to Fan.* for talks with the Western foreign minbters.

Then to Jamaica for a two weeks vacallon. He got a virus Infection there, recovered, came back to work On Feb. 3 he flew to Europe again for conferences with the Western leiaders in London. Pari.s snd Bonn.

In Part*, ironicftliy. he look * few minulr.s out for vaccnaUon ngaiiui MUiiU pox. That imght indicate .he tfiought hr had a long mne iell. But time had run but on ,him .

In a few day.* he wa.* back In Wasfiington, back In the ho.-.' lUtal, and back under xnrgery irom cancer, that wa-- almo.xt the rnd. H((t not quite WjUle he had strength left he had a hand in prepaiiug- fur Geneva.

(St. Loui* Pot-Dtspatch)

Money federal, state or local alone will not overcome what threatens to be the worst weakness of American education In the decade* ahead, the shortage of teachers and the inadequacy of many of those employed as teachers. So the Ford Foundation has performed an outstanding service In granting more than ^,(X)0,000 to nine institutions of higher learning for m breakthrough in teacher training, quantitatively and qualitatively.

Our teacher trouble, the dhec* tors of the Ford program agree, stems from the relatively poor quality of instruction for future teachers in many places, the neglect of subject matter In favor undue concentration on teaching methods the relative lack of attention to the importance of practice ... in developing the art of teaching, and barriers presented by state tacher-certi-ficatlon requirements to improvt educational programs."

Courageous teachers before now have pointed out that educations worst enemies may be educationists, that teacher.*' colleges can be the worst breeders of poor teachers, and that those who have a vested interest in a system whlch cannot stand on its merits have anchored It In the statute books of many slates.

To challenge this .system, the Ford Foundation has enlisted Barnard. Brown. Chicago, Claremont, Duke, George Peabody, Harvard. Stanford and Wisconsin.

The new teacher-training prbi

grams are not alike at each institution, but they have a mim-l^r of common objectives. These include:

1. More general and liberal education for future teacher.s, more knowledge of a subject itself.

2. Cooperation between colleges and schools comparable to the relations between hospitals and medical schools so that future teachers may serve teaching internships,

3. Development and use of new technological teaching aids such as television, films and tape recordings, and

4. Long-range financing of tcachers-trainlng, Including payment of teaching internes.

Says Clarence H. Faust, formerly of the University of Chicago and now vice-president of the foundation:

These new programs should serve to recruit abler young men and women into teaching. Many of those who are now repelled by or advised away from teaching as a profession can be recruited into It, we believe, if the preparation for teaching involves substantial liberal education.

He is right. The eager, intelligent student wants to study history, or science, or language, not methods of teaching them. And the good teacher must know history, languages and sciences rather than methodology. It Is Important, of course, that he should know how to teach, but It Ls more important that he should know something worth teaching. The schools being helped by the Ford Poundgtion are putting the eight shoe on the right foot.

If college follows that Interlude in uniform, that little bit of added maturity is Invaluable. Shrug off that cry of so much time lost; at that age, one has more time than anything else.

(No, the recruiters havent even given me a book of matches.)

Quote. .

SDeak,

Speak,

Speak

By RELMAN MORIN new YORK (AP) For years, said the man from Texas. I ordered chicken salad sandwiches, which I hate, because it was the only item on the menu I could pronounce without stammering.

John Quincy Mahaffey, editor of the Texarkana Gazette, is a gifted practitioner of the art of afterdinner speaking, much In lemand. He stands there, mesmerizing an audience, weaving his ancient witchcraft. Nobody moves except when he make* them laugh, which is often.,

Afterward, a few remember that J. Q. has a speech im^di-ment.^

Or rather, he uses It to enhance what he wants to say. Stammering no longer terrorizes him.

Years ago. however, it throttled him to such a point he thought he might have to give up being a newspaper reporter. He couldnt ask questions. He would freeze, completely unable to talk.

His managing editor heard him struggling on the telephone one day and passed the word around the office, Dont let Jake talk long-distance ever. Hes unbalancing my budget.

Day after day, J. Q. despairingly settled for the chicken salad sandwich. Once or, twice, he said, I made a stab at ordering the plmiento-and-egg. But I never made it."

Im told there is a matter of .status among the very small fry as to where the innoculatlng needle strikes.

The mother of a four-year-old tells me there had never before teen any trouble about her offspring taking his shots until he lately began associating with six-year-olds.

When they began telling of preschool Immunization* IN THE ARM, he began to sit up and take notice;

So when four-year-old was informed he was getting a shot, he told the world it would be in hlii arm, too.

His biggest artillery barrage of wails and teai's failed to sway the nurse.

To his everlasting disgrace, the needle was embedded in ... in his . . . well, in the gluteal re

gion.

Status isnt easy to achieve.

Canada is a young nation whlcte'can ateorb many thousands, yes mtlllon.s, of indu.strlous young people from other nations. But the vote-catching expan.sion of welfare .state scheme.* does not make for national economy: It is increasing the national co.ts rapidly as more and more people, including comparatively recent newcoiner.*, take advantage of receiving .'something for nothing. Or, should we say something which someone el.se pay* forLangley (B. C.. Canada! Advance.

Then the turning-point came.

It came in a hotel barber shop through a face full of lather.

Will Rogers, the cowboy humorist, arrived in Texarkana on a fund-raising tour. J, Q. was assigned to meet him and get a story, a funny story, of course.

All the way to the airport, he kept repeating, My name is Mahaffey and Im a reporter. My name is Mahaffey and Im a reporter It came out smooth as silk.

But when he saw Rogers, he froze again. The words stuck in his throat. In ,panic, he followed Rogers to the hotel and called him on the telephone. Rogers answered it himself. J. Q. couldnt even say hello, He hung up, completely shattered now.

A moment later, Rogers came downstairs and went to the barter shop. J. Q. followed him and sat there, struggled to speak. Suddenly, tiie barter looked at J. Q. and said Next you, youre next. J. Q. only shook his head. .

At that point, Rogers sat up in the chair and beckoned to J.Q.

Old country boy, he said, youve been following me all morning so you must want something. Now you sit over here and tell me what it is you want. J, Q. sat on a high stool beside the barber chair. He managed to fight his way through the words. My name is Mahaffey and Silently, he pulled out a reporters note book.

And you want to know what Im going to do? And what I think about things? And a few quotes?said Rogers. J. Q. nodded.

The cowboy talked and talked, J. Q. got his story, a great story. When he was finished, Rogers sail You know, old country boy, you dont haVe to be afraid. Because anybody who amounts to anything will know before you open your mouth tijat you sutter. And the others aren't worth talking to, anyway."

This is not quite the end of the story, J. Q. did not emerge overnight as the William Jennings Bryan of Texarkana. But what he did do. and to his own immense astonishment, was to accept a speaking engagement not long afterward!

That was the worst week of my life. he said. You see, a stammerer can look down a whole long sentence and see th# word that's going to throw him. Sure enough, when he comes to it, it does throwh Im.

How did he overcome it?

By accepting every time somebody asked me to make a speech, he said. Every time you mak* a talk. It throws that old trou^ ble back just a little further. After nearly 30 years, and thousands of public appearances J. Q. no longer has to order tha chicken salad sandwich.
