Come Close To Absolute Rule

MONAEICH ~ Although the Governor of North Carolina Is elected by the people, and hmited by constitutional provisions to one elective terra of four years, he is during his Incumbency almost as absolute nionarch as will be found at the bead of any government. By succession from the Lieutenant Governors office, it is possible fw a chief executive to serve fcMT practically eight years. The present Governor will have served more than six years when his tenn ends.

Literally millions of words have been written about the fact the Governor of North Carolina is the only ttef executive In North America without power of veto over legislation. The implications of Impotence (i part of North Carolinas Governor in these stories is largely negated by statutory powers cimferred upon him as Director of the Budget. His power Is further enhanced by legislative delegation of authority to appoint most of the administrative officers, policy making boards, and advisory recommendatory commissions.

Governor Hodges discovered w hen he checked the recwd that the 1959 General Assembly had Imposed upon him the responsibility to make 399 such awwint-menis. There were more than 100 holdovers in appointed posi-tOTis of high authority who had been named by the incumbent executive or his preitecessors, as weU as a cumber of advisory groups..

In most tnstancw the Governors awxntng power is absolute. In the few cases where legislative c<mfirmaticm is required, it is largely perfunctory. The only appointees who must be confirmed by the Legislature before aaiuming their duties are members of the State Board f Ekiucation.

CONTROL The extent of Uie control of the Governor over North Carolina governmental activities is apparent from a partial list o appointive officials.

In addition to his very great powers as Director of the Budget, he names two of the six members of the Advisory Budget Commission and all of the administrative officers to handle State budget and finance matters. He has absolute au-, thority to name the Commissioner of Revenue, the Director Tax Research, and all members ctf the study commissions on government organization and taxation.

He appoints ten of the 13 members of the Stats Board of Education, which controls the putdlc school system: all nine of the Board of Higher Education. and some 100 members of boards of trustees of State

supported colleges not embraced in the Consolidated University. (The General Assembly reserves the right to name university trustees).

The Governor awwints all members of the Highway Commission and the Ports Authority, seven on each board; all five members of the Utilities Commission; all nine of the Wildlife Resources Ccwmmission, and all seven of the newly constituted powerful Water Resources Commission.

He appoints all 18 members of the Board of Conservation and Development, and all 15 of the mental hospital board. He names nine of eleven members of the Banking Commission, and five of the nine members of the State Board of Health. He appoints 10 of the 11 members of the Board of Agriculture, with the elected commissioner being ex-officlo chairman. While there are ex-officio members ot the boards administering retirement, employment security, and other social services. the Governor has the authority to nsune majority control on all these boards.

ANTI-CLIMACTIC In such unrelated areas as prison administration, local government, arts and music, public libraries, rural electrification and the conduct of elections, the Governor of N<M*th Carolina has authority to appoint the folks who will handle these projects. Approval of a grant or a loan for a new hospital or a manufacturing plant or a college dormitory depends largely upon the attitude of the persons whom the Governor of North Carolina has appointed to places of authority.

In view of these factsthe control over financing vested in the Governor as Director of the Budget, and crmtrol over administration inherent in his appointive powers, any discussion of the lack of veto power for the Governor of North Carolina is anti-climactic-There would seem to be little need for veto when the revenue appropriations bills had been presented by the Governor, and the administration of laws enacted to implement them would be in hands of people whom he had appointed for that purpose. This situation is in striking contrast to that in South Carolina, where the Legislature named th personnel of study committees and reserved the right to name the officers who would administer the program.

There may be question as to which plan is more democratic. The fact is that in South Carolina and some other states the Governor is not much more than a figure-head. In North Carolina the Governor is the big boss of the whole warks. North Carolinians seem to like It that way.

When the crime rate in the nations capital increases to the point where a membf:r of Congress calls for several hundred Marines as auxiliary policemen, it is certainly time for action to increase the police .force of the city.

Rep. Omar Burleson of Texas has proposed that a few hundred Marines- be assigned to police duty in Washington to help regular police officers cope with the wave of hoodlumism that has swept the city in recent months. The rate of crime in Washington which has risen steadily over the years apparently has taken a sharp upturn in the past six months. Congress is considering adding 500 men to the existing 2,500-man police force for Washington, but reports say the legislation may not be passed until next year.

Certainly if the rate of crime in Washington has reached the level where Marines are needed as a stopgap measure, Congress should be able to find time to pass legislation increasing the regular police force before it adjourns for the summer.

This nation, after all, prides itself in being a land of lawful communities. Washington, as the seat of the federal government and one of the show places of the nation, should by all means have sufficient law enforcement officers to protect its law abiding citizens from hoodlums ^nd criminals. When the existing force of law" officers is insufficient to cope with the situation, that city should not be forced to wait six months or a year before enough additional officers are obtained to do the job of enforcing the law.

Frankly we think it would he a mistake to call several hundred Marines to Washington for temporary duty as civil police officers. At the same time, we feel it would also be a mistake for Congress to adjourn its present session and leave the nations capital without a sufficient force of law enforcement officers to cope with the task of preserving law and order.

That Air Route Change

A lot of folks have been wondering why so many planes are flying over Greenville these days, Charles Crone, WNCT advertising man and member of the U, S. Air Force Reserve, knows the answer.

Crone, who as a member of the reserve, is attached to the Information Office at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, says two air routes were moved 14 miles east to allow for air corridors at Seymour Johnson.

There are two air routes involved, Victor 1 and Victor 157, according to Crone,

Victor 1 usea tn run from Wilmington to Lagrange oyer Farmville and Bethel to Norfolk.

Victor 157 went from Wilmington west to Goldsboro, west of Wilson to Rocky Mount and then north. Because of the assignment of B-52 to Seymour Johnson, the Air Force established climb corridors from

ground surfaces to 55,000 feet at the air base.

So that meant the two commercial routes had to be moved 14 miles east to the east. This put Victor 157 squarely over Kinston and Greenville. That is why the big planes can be heard passing over this city day and night.

The planes are commercial aircraft and they travel both north and south on the route at different altitudes, of course.

CAIRO AP)Women will be women, now w 5,00 years ago.

It appears that Egyptian women as far back as 3.200 B.C. were old hands at the art of hair dying.

Remains of mummies recently discovered in a tomb in nearby Helwan had golden hair while others had fiery red hair. Since genuine Egyptian blondes and redheads are a rarity today, the chances are these ladies of ancient Egjrpt were no strangers to the tricks of hair dying. ^

Ancient Egyptian women also seem to have been experts on aU kinds of cosmetics, particularly eye shades, or what Is known her# as kohl. Pots of black, green, grey and brown kohl were discovered in the Helwan tomb.

Numerous vases were also found in the tomb containing several kinds of perfume and cosmetics. Analysis showed the cosmetic# were mainly composed of fatty material mixed with red oxide of iron and ground limestone.

This composition apparently gave the face a roey color due to the presence of the red oxide of iron, and the fatty substance contributed to a glowing complexion.

In the same tomb a copper mirror was found with a wooden handle. When well polished, the copper apparently gaVe a^rery good reflection, and these mirrors were much superior to any used by the ancient beauties of Rome.

Ancient Egyptian women were also sticklers for Jewelry. There were many varieties of necklaces but a popular design was several rows of small cylindrical beads covering almost the whole upper part of the bosom. Each row of beads were a different color. Also popular were semi-preclous stones. An average ancient Egyptian lady apparently had as many as seven necklaces and nint bracelets.

The Egyptian ladies of 8.000 years ago wore long robes reaching the feet. The upper part of the robes varied In design. Some had sleeves while others were attached at one shoulder. In most cases the left by a ribbon. The shoulder knot does not differ from the bow knot# we make today. Some of th^e robes had braces, which made the robe hang below the shoulder displaying a great deal of the back, like a modern evening dress.

Other Editors Saying Election Is Indicative

Bv JAMES MARLOW

WASHINGTON (AP) Premier Nikita Khrushchev took his time getting tough. Some men swear by nuts, berries or good, red meat for feeling fit. But Khrushchev acts like a man who got his muscles from missile milk.

You could see him grow, and his disposition change, if you went back day by day over his life since 1953 and read what he has said about the West. Stalin died that year and Khrushchev, comparatively unknown, became boss of the Communist party in the U.S.S.R.

Khrushchev then still was considered only the No. 2 man, under Premier Georgi Malenkov, w-ho succeeded Stalin. All through 1953 Khrushchev had practically nothing to say. By then, of course, the Soviet Union had come a long way.

It had the atom bomb. But it wasnt until the end of the year that the U-S.S R. developed the hydrogen bomb. The United States already had both! But the Soviet Union was worklrw on missiles, too. That was goingkto change things.

Khrushchev didnt do (any boasting in 19.53. He didnl^do any in 1954, either. He just Iwld his lip. When he did talk, it was friendly. He said communism and capitalism must cooperate. This was the beginning of his coexistence theme.

Khrushchev didnt really begin to talk until 1955, when Malenkov got the gate and Nikolai Bulganin became premier. Khrushchev was still only party secretary but more and more he bt*gan to sound like the No. 1 man.

Khrushchev even sounded humble in mid-1955. Just before going to the Geneva summit conference with Bulganin he said no one should get the idea the Soviet Union was going there on broken legs. There was nothing boastful about that.

By early 1956, Soviet scientists must have been making impressive progress with missiles For on April 26 that year Khrushchev began boasting: he pre-> dieted the Soviets would have a guided missile with an H-bomb warhead.

Still, he was willing to acknowledge the United States was the No. 1 power. He said on June 7, 1956, it was a "pat pn the back" for the Soviet Union to be compared with this country as one of the two great Powers, This humble mood didnt last long.

In November that year, Khrushchev was boiling. Britain. Prance and Israel had invaded Egypt and ihert bad been a re

volt in satellite Hungary.

He told Western envoys in Moscow: "Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you."

The new Khrushchev, the one the world has been hearing ever since, emerged. Irked by President Eisenhowers doctrine of giving military help to Mid East countries which asked for it, Khrushchev said; . That doctrine would land on the "garbage heap" of history.

In May 1957, he was talking of having an H-bomb that could melt the arctic ice cap. That same month he told the Western world its children wmild live under socialism.

By August he was predicting a higher living standard for Soviets than Americans have. Then the reason behind this surging confidence became clear: in October and November the U.S.S.R. beat the United States into outer space with its Sputniks.

The Soviet Union was ahead in the missile race. Khrushchev taunted this country by challenging it to a "peaceful rocket contest." By December he was warning American allies not to let the United States set up missile base.s on their land.

By this time no one had any doubts about who was No. 1 man. It was made official March 27. 19.58, when Khrushchev

pushed Bulganin aside and be came premier. He was modest, starting out, and peaceful.

He said "we shall conquer capitalism with a high level of work and a higher living standard* By April 1958, he was predicting Americans were destined for second place in tte world economic leadeiship. Then he stopped being mild-In August 1958, angered by American and British help to Lebanon and Jordan in the Middle East, Khrushchev said the U.S.S.R. would destroy both big powers if they let a new war loose.

Then he got tougher than ever. On Nov. 10. 1958, he told the United States, Britain and France to get their occupation troops out of West Berlin. He followed this threat; if they tried to force their way into Berlin they would regret it.

This started the Berlin crisis which brought about the upcoming mid-September meeting tween Eisenhower and Khrushchev. It was actually Khrushche' who proposed the exdhang* visits. He did this July IrJS* y When Eisenhower, on ^

announced he and tWe^Soviet Premier w-ould exchange visiU. it w'as really an acceptance of Khi'u&hcbev* idea.

(Kinston Free Press)

The Democratic voters in Mississippi in a run-off primary have nominated Ross Barnett, a 60 year old lawyer for Governor. (The Democratic nomination is virtually an election as Mississippi is a one party state).

Mr. Barnett opposed Lt. Governor Carroll Gartin who took a more moderate view of the segregation question than did his opponent. Both men are reportedly members of the Segregationists Citizens Council and both pledged a militant segregation policy if elected. The successful candidate seems to have been a little bit more emphatic in his promises to maintain segregation regardless.

The Lieutenant Governor had the support of retiring Governor Coleman, former Governor White and of most of the present state officials. In spite of that fact his opponent appears to have had about a 50,000 majority.

The successful candidate in his campaign is said to have frequently expressed his admiration for Governor Orval Faubus of Arkansas.

The election is indicative of the attitude of a great many people in the South who are not going to yield to integration of their schools regardless of what the courts may say.

Neither candidate in the

Mississippi primary favored moderation or integration on a limited scale as some southern states are practicing. They simply expressed their opposition in no uncertain terms to any mixing of the races of the schools whatsoever.

The Free Press has frequently said since the May 1954 decision of the United States Supreme Court nullifying a decision of the same court in 1896 which provided for separate but equal school facilities was handed down that in the present generation total integration of schools in the South would not be realized and perhaps not in the next generation.

The court decision has done kreparable damage to racial relations in the South and Incidentally there is no evidence that there has been any improvement much in the North and West except in the loud mouthed professions of some of the holier than thou crowd who never lose an opportunity to condemn the South.

We wouldnt be surprised that if the present Supreme Court or its successor didnt find it in order to review this unfortunate decision and come to another one more like the 1896 ruling. There's a far better chance of meeting that goal than In the present mixing program.

THE LORD LOVES THEM

How seriously do you and I take our religion?

A minister was telling recently about the extreme seriousness of a certain congregation concerning human need. Many churches in recent years have made themselves respon.sible for a few refugee families. This church made itself responsible for fifty refugee families although the membership of the church was only of medium size. The minister had no income other than his modest salary, yet he and his wife went generously into their pocketbooks and contributed to help people come to this country from stricken areas across the sea.

You can usually tell the value a person puts on his religion by observing how much he is willing to sacrificeespecially

to sRcrlfiet financially. If his faith costs him something in money tiien he really has faith. It is very easy to talk about loving the Lord and loving our neighbors as ourselves, but It is something vastly different to put such beliefs into operation. Yet there are churches, usually made up of people of modest means, which would put some of the largest congregations to shame by their sacrificial gifts. They will let their own equipment go unrepaired and unpainted in order to send money to the poor in their own country and the broken and pursued living at the ends of the earth.

Here one sees Christian belief being put to work. People who are willing to make such sacrifices are Christian in the best sense of the term. Keep your eye on them. The 'Lord loves them.

Opinions In Brief

"A man's right to work at his chosen occupation is one of the most fundamental American rights. That right is being violated constantly by compulsory union membership. Men are being forced, against their will, to become members of labor organizations and pay tribute for the right to earn a living. Many union members are against this but are powerless to stop the big labor bosses." Humboldt (Iowa) Independent.

More Car-Sellina Comaetition

By ELMER ROESSNER

A rooting, tooting, razzle-dazzle year of automobile competition starts next week. Auto 5 ears date from first showings of new models.

The competition will be as complex as it will be bitter. It 'ftrlll excel the days when there were more than a hundred makes on the marjiet. Come to think of it, competition wasnt very severe in those days and, with fewer makes, the car buyer has even great choice today.

In the year ahead, the Big Three will* be competing with

both American Motors and

Studebaker-Packard with their

new compact cars: they will be competing with each other; they will be competing with themselves in offering both compact and behemouth sizes; they will be competing with foreign small cars, which have already grabbed about 5 per cent of the American market. ,

Meanwhile, American ^ and

Studebaker-Packard. and tnbnu-facturers of foreign bitisler will not take this calmly. Their plans call for flgbtinji back the Big

Three, Foreign manufacturers have already arranged to step up advertising and sales effortis. Both Volkswagen and Renault are increasing promotion in the United States, and other manufacturers are Increasing their selling campaigns.

There are some indications that European markets are close to saturation points. That is spurring manufacturers to seek larger markets here.

This competition gets to be quite a daisy chain. Ford of England is making radical changes in the design of its Anglia and Prefect lines, presumably to be In a better position to compete for American sales, which will become harder to make because of competition by Ford of Detroit, among others.

Japan Ls planning to Increase sales to the United States, especially on the West Coast, where freight rates from Tokyo are competitive with rates from Detroit.

SUITABLE FOR THE VICAR

So we will have Big Three vs. Little Two vs. foreign com-DeUtion in the small car field.

and competition between the Big Three compact cars and Big Three standard cars. As if that were not enough, there is a new entrant in the larger car field, the Rover. This is popular In England; where its advertised as "suitable for the vicar or the professional man." There are a few in this country but Rover Is barking into the market In the coming auto year. It is priced just under the Lincoln-CadUlac-Imperial group.

Detroit is far from dismayed over prospects of rousing competition.

It expects the excitement stirred upplus the fact that incomes are rising and the boom Is waxingwill make 1960 second only to 1955 when 7,200,000 cars were sold at retail. Guesses are that from 6,900,000 to 7,100,-000 cars will be sold from October to October. Fear of higher prices because of the steel strike will aLso spur buying.

American manufacturers believe that sales of the compact cars will sharply check the sales of smaller foreign cars. (One poll showed that American auto-

ists definitely prefer small cars as long as they are large enough to crush other small cars in accidents.)

Note: Dealers' inventories of 1959 model cars arc generally heavy and concern over the publics interest in compact cars Is equally heavy. Cool shoppers can get rare bargains under these conditions.
