The Innocent Bystanders Are Hurt

Already feeling the pinch of a long steel strike, pace of the nations economy has been further slowed by the walkout of longshoremen at major ports on the East and Gulf coasts.

Unless agreements are quickly reached and the disputes settled, a significant potion of the nations economic operations will come almost to a standstill. The longer the strikes continue, the greater the number of people not directly involvtd in the disputes will find themselves without work until the disputes re settled. , ' ' '

The longest steel strike in history already has taken a terrific toll of productive power, wages and earnings. Some hklf million steel workers have been away from their jobs for 80 days now with the strike apparently still faf from settlement even in the face of. increasing government pressure. To these idle workers can be added another 20,000 whose jobs have temporarily ceased because of the steel strike./

Now with the strike of longshoremen many thousands have left their jobs and new thousands of workers will find themselves laid off because the source of supplies and raw materials witn which they work has been cut off.

Many industries which had l)een limping along on a trickle of foreign steel since Aaic rican mills closed down wdll now' find theniselves without materials with whih to continqe operations. T-ansportation, already

WARNING Richard Graves, who delivered the opening keynote address at the recent Llague of Municipalities meeting in Asheville, and Robert Kennedy, who made final speech of the session, each emphasized the threat of industrial development to the peace and pleasant living which North Carolina has known. They made the point that labor-management troubles are certain to follow industry.

Graves is director of big industrial development organization at Philadelphia. The cynical might say that he was attempting to discourage our efforts to draw business from that sector.-' except that his presentation was obviously based on his own experiences. Kennedy, until very recently, was counsel for the Senate select subcommittee on management and labor relations. He recited a long list of facts disclosed by his Investigations of corruption and crookedness in labor unions and some great corporations alike. He recognized, that these problems do not concern this part of the South now, but warned that in five to ten years the big crooks would seek the same kind of hold here as they now have in the north and west.

Siimilar expressions have been made many times, but when two such eminent authorities on the subject open and close a convention of city officials with the same theme the danger is more obvious. It is unthinkable tnat this situation justifies a slow down in the industry promoton campagn. Kennedys pleas w'as that because everybody will be affected, it is everybodys job to help correct and prevent abuses by any of the parties involved.

BUNCOMBE Some oldtim-ers can hardly believe what they see happening in Buncombe county Democratic circles. Loss of the seat in Congress which Buncombe had held for the better part of 50 years to one of the small counties, accomplished more than all the. pleadings of state leaders for unity among Bunhombe Democrats. It was bad enough when the congressional seat went to Haywood and Henderson for relatively short ' periods. But these are fairly large counties. When Jackson copped it last year with election of Davnd M. Hall, largely because of disunity in Buncombe, it was just too much.

Now the Democrats are trying desperatelj', and with considerable evidence of success, to get together on one candidate for the primary next spring. Indications are the man will be Roy A. Taylor of Black Mountain, former legislator and for the past ten years county attorney. His residence outside of Asheville and the fact he has not been involved in recent factional scraps to

great degree make him an acceptable compromise.

Another evidence of party unity was the resolution adopted last week by the regular county executive committee pledging full support of the senior party for the Young Democrats, who are hosts this week to the State YDC convention. Unanimous vote of a Buncombe county committee on any matter constitutes news. ^

All branches and factions of the Democrats are joining hands to stage a huge regional rally as the wind-up of the YDC convention Saturday night.

COLOR There are bright splotches of red and yellow on the mountainsides, but Western North Carolinas far famed color parade will not get on the road for another week or ten days. It looks like the visitors here during the Southern Governors Conference will hit the rising peak of the show. Parkway rangers and other experienced observers doubt the show will be as striking as in some years, because of excessive rain during the summer and continuing warm weather.

Only the experLs will recognize anything short of perfection. Inquiries and advance registrations at hotels nd motels in the area indicate more people than ever before will come for the show, Ive had a good year, said one operator, and every night when I say my prayers I thank the Lard for it and then pray real hard for a cold, dry. sunshiny October.

With several new links in the Blue Ridge Parkw^ay, rangers are preparing for the heaviest traffic of r^ord. Sam Weems.

Major Step By South American Countries

A major step by seven South American nation.? toward lowering trade barriers between themselves is important to all of the Western Hemisphere just as it is to the nations immediately involved.

The United States, for its own welfare and that of the entire. Western Hemisphere, must devote greater attention to its neighbors of Latin America in the future than it has in the past. It must offer greater assistance to bring economic advancement to its close neighbors as it has to nations scattered in far parts of the globe.

As a vitally interested party ig^the development of the whole Western Hemisphere, the United States should offer every possible assistance in supporting this new move which promises to bring greater economic progress and better living standards of a large portion of the South American people.* , ^

The agreement tentatively approved by Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay will not receive final approval until February and will not provide a completely common market between the nations until the end of a 12-year period. As such, it offers the United State.s another good opportunity to put into action as well as w'ords its good neighbor policy toward Latin American nations.

,S. And China Caught In Myth

By HENRY HOWARD

This Big, Fierce Dog

Bv JAMES MARLOW

WASHINGTON (AP)The United States and Red China are caught in a myth wrapped in irony within a dilemma.

The myth: This country insists Chiang Kai-sheks Nationalists on Formosa are the legitimate government of all China and not the Red Chinese who have now controlled the entire mainland for 10 years.

j The irony: This country ha.s presured Chiang into agreeing he will not try to retake the mainland by force. Without force it seems certain he can never go back to the mainland or conquer its Red masters.

The dilemma: How can this country agree with world communism on world problemslike disarmamentunless Red China, w-hich the United States refuses to recognize, is included?

True, through better relations with the Soviet Union, the United States could settle problems involving only the U.S S.R, and the West. For instance, Berlin, which has nothing to do with China-But it seems impossible to think of setUements on world problems without agreement with the Red Chinese. Agreement would almost of necessity require closer relations.

Therefore, if relations with the Soviet Union improve, it seems like relations with Red China will, too, although this will go against the grain of many in this country who are strong for Chiang and violent against the Red Chinese. n

A lot of things hapi^ned in 1949. This country, which had been giving Chiang billions of dollars in aid while his government was on the mainland, suddenly washed its hands of him. His government was corrupt and hLs situation hopele.sSfc-That same year the Commun

ists took over the mainland. He fled to Formosa, an island 100 miles away, and set up shop there with the remnants of his government. Even in early 1950 President Truman refused to intervene between him and the Reds who threatened to take Fonnosa. Truman refused to protect him.

This changed instantly when the. Korean War began. Truman ordered protection for Formosa. This has been American policy ev'er since. The Red Chinese by their subsequent tactics froze this American policy solid.

They sent volunteers into Korea; they were branded ag-gre.ssors by the United Nations; they still hold American prisoners; they have repeatedly shelled Formosa; they continually threaten to retake it.

Although 32 nations have recognized the Red regime, this coun-tiT not only refuses to do so but has been able to keep the Reds out of the United Nations.

Only a few weeks ago in the U N. this country blasted Red China in tliese words: In nine years it has promoted six foreign or civil warsKorea, Tibet, Indochina, the Phillipines, Malayan, and Laos. It has fought the United Nations.

Last year Secretary of State John Foster Dulles visited Chiang on Formasa and the two men issued a joint statement in which Chiang agreed he would not try to use force to retake the mainland and throw out the Reds.

It was clear why. The United States wouldnt help him make the try. Without such help he could ,do nothing. Thus, in effect, he agreed to die of old age on Formosa, while claiming to be the rightfpl master of the mainland.

Thus the United States and Red China are in an almost absurd historical position.

Once in a great while, that kind of joke that amuses only a few really gets a laugh.

Such was the situation with the following tale:

A prominent businessman in a small Midwestern town was the proud owner of the most ferocious and bow-leggede5tj3ulldog ever to tread Gods green earth.

It was a lasting habit of the man to take the great and fearsome creature strolling, at the business end of a strong leather leash, every Saturday afternoon.

This weekly hike for the proud and powerful animal was virtually all the freedom he would get since he had some sort of K-9 psychosis or something that constantly drove him to devour ^ any apparent sign of life

' especially other dogs.

Well, this particular Saturday aftemnon, Mr. Big Bulldog was engaged in his weekly outing. Much to his pleasure, he had already broken aw^ from his masters grasps ,on three different occasions to hopelessly mangle less fortunate creatures of his own kind.

As his pride rose to its afternoon peak, the devouring :devil spied a small yellowish creature trotting complacently along on at the end of a slender leash held by a 12-yeai'-old master.

Straining fiercely at his leash, Mr. Big Bulldog snarled his Sunday Worst and gnashed his teeth hungrily at the prospects of devouring such a small and delicaterlooking morsel.

Taking immediate pity, the great animals master quickly cautioned the smaller creatures master to scurry away with his pet before the giant death-dealing monster could break away.

The little guy, completely ignoring all warnings, continued to whistle a happy little tune and follow his prize possession directly toward the menacing,^ w rithing mass of growling and snarling bulldog.

With nose quietly sniffing the ground and eyes lazily half-closed. the little animal boldly approached the beast.

Still straining to break loose upon his prey, the bow-legged giant pawed the air fiercely as his master watched the brave little creature and his master in awe.

As the great bulldog strained ) without success against his ma.v ter and the leash, the smaller animal crossed directly under the fierce-looking, 4urned-up nose and gave th^ first hint of awareness of the snarling giants presence.

In <3ne swift and simple movement, the little yellow animal turned and snapped at Mr. Big Bulldog.

The words, Order by Phone, will appear in constantly large type in newspaper ads from now on out.

Traffic congestion and population shifts to suburbs have complicated sales problems for downtown merchants in most citie.-.

Some store* have solved the problem by establishing branches In suburban shopping centers.

Others have tackled it with more special sales, stress on Vi'ider selection, and promotion of such lures as* fine restaurants and shows nearby. Recently, downtown areas in two cities were closed to all but pedestt*ian traffic and the streets turned Into malls, to attract shoppers. Results were partially good and partially bad. The mails attracted some shoppers, kept others away and infuriated some autoists.

Now more attention Is being centered on making more sales by phone and, frequently, by mail.

Other Editors Saying.. Pressure On Ministers

(Greensboro Daily News)

Southern ministers, the Rev. James P. Dees to the contrary notwithstanding, suffer far more pressure from racially conservative congregation leaders than from integraUon-minded hierarchies.

The Rev. Mr. Dees, by his spat with the Episcopal clergy of New Orleans over his'speech to the New Orleans Chtizens Council, possibly gave the impression that church organizations are bearing down in order to force conformity of pro-integration views.

When the New Orleans clergy sent a telegram to the Rev. Mr. Dees asking him not to make an appearance In that city, he replied. *I would presume. . .that the church would not deny any citizen the right of free speech on controversial social Issues or even try to bring pressure on them to suppress Ik

It is apparent that you would suppress the/ expression of opinions of everyone who does not agree with you.

Indeed the Statesville clergyman waxed indignant at the thought of suppressing free speech but he later told the Citizens Council that the churches have no business handing down edicts on a subject that is primarily anthropological and sociological. WhUe claimiag his right as an indivdual to speak out, smultaneously he would apparently limit the churches field and decide whatmatters they had no business attending to.

The Rev, Mr. Dees controversy serves to confuse the issue of pulpit freedom in the South, as an article by Ralph McGill in the New York Times Sunday Magazine makes cleau

Southern ministers and priests who havet he courage to take even a moderate position on racial Integration, Mr. McGill points out, feel varying degrees of pressure. It may take the form of advice by congregational leaders. In some places it .may be ostracism and obstruction. It may be telephone

calls in the night, whispered filth, threats of violence.

These, says Ralph McGill, are all part of a pattern familiar to ministers of Southern churches who try to take the attitude of tolei*ance required by Christianity, the ethics of Western civilization, the Constituton and courts of the Unted States and their own national church organizations.

The Rev. Mr. Dees* denomination may be, by Southern Protestant standards, a relatively authoritarian church, although his bishops have never stilled his voice.

But. as Southerners know, local churches, regardless of positions taken by their national organizations, have or assume considerable local authority.

It is .the all-out segregationists who apply the most pressure who put the separation of the races above all (Christian teaching, law or moral principle Their methods include petty hara&^ents and slow destruction of the pastors program, reduction of pledges by big givers, moving to a church where the religion is the right kind, or budget wrangling that disguises the true aimwretk-' ing the ministers program.

Ministers who have tried to put into practice Christs two great commandments, especially the secondThou shalt. Jove thy selfhave discovered quickly that for some communicants the church is not Christ and His faith but rather the building, the meeting with old friends, the a-ssociation in womens organizations. There is a great gulf between what some mean when they say they love the church. a minister told Ralph McGill, and what another means for whom Christ has validity, He added:

It saddens me to learn how many persons do not want Christ to intrude on them, indeed will not permit It. if He makes them uncomfortable.

Indeed the dampening of free speech comes not from the inte-

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (AP)^ Like the car-crazy country it is, America has always had road-racingprobably from the first time two duster-clad pioneers in goggles found themselves going the same way on an old dirt road. Now its going on all over, more popular than ever.

The glamor of Indianapolis gets the big headlines with its Memorial Day 500-mile spr^. but thats just one (albeil;^-mendous) race. And its on an oval, Just like the thousands of fairgrounds tracks about the country.

In the last few years, however, there has been a resurgence of racing the way it used to be in the old daysroad racing. And done on specially - designed, superbly - contrived courses attempting to duplicate the rations highways.

Every weekend, there are sports car road races of one kind or another. They havent been at it long in years, but the sport is booming.

There was a time when they raced on the public roads, like the old Vanderbilt Cup days or the more recent Elkhart Lake runs.

Now theyre racing sports cars more often than ever. A little Wisconsin vUlage started it all.

Having had its popu-ular around-the-lake races banned by the Wisconsin legislature after the 1952 spectacle, the little resort town of 572 popula-tion-and in particular one man, gravel pit operator Clif Tufte decided to do something about it. It took two years, but they did it.

Tuftes idea was to make use of the beautiful Kettle Moraine countryside surrounding Elkhart Lake, terrain gifted wilh rolling hills that could be turned into a race course gi'istling with sharp and gentle turns, dips and hills, and straightaways resembling a typical American roadway. People joined in, from bankers to a r golf pro, and once it got going the enthusiasm of the area gave it impetus.

Call Road America, the courses 4.1 - mile layout with 1.3 different bends or twists quickly captured the countrys fancy. Now there are similiar road-racing courses, from Lime Rock, Conn., to Marlboro, Md., to Riverside. Calif.

And. with so many expertly-designed places to run, the sport is booming.

And it Is a paradox that in America, where the pros are unhesitatingly the best in everything in sports, that the amateurs rule the so-called roost in sport* car driving.

Internationally - famed drivers like Ph HiU and Carroll Shelby, who teamed with Europeans to win the last two LeMans 24-hour classics in France, got their start in American sports car competition. Having proven themselves on such U. C. course.s as Road America and Cumberland. they were snapped up by the top European manufacturers to drive their factory team cars. And they have done right well.

Opinions "n Brief

gration-mindecj. as the Rev. Mr. Dees would have u* believe, but from the diehard aegregationist*.

For Urban Stores

will be especially heavy between now and Christmas. (Promotion of mail sales is always heavy this time of year.) There are ample indications that more stores will advertise the fact that they are equipped to handle phone ordersand that all stores with this service will promote * it heavily.

Phone orders have other advantage* in addition to the big one that they make sales -to shoppers who dont want to hassle with downtown traffic-They are:

1. They make sals_to injured and other persons unable to leave their homes,

2. They give stores a seventh day Sundayfor selling. Many people, browsing through Saturday and Sunday newspapers, place phone orders on impulse. Their Interest might lag if they waited until Monday and. then, had to journey to the store.

3. They extend the selling day for as long as the store finds it profitable to man its order phones. Phone order^ please.s many women who^ike to do their buying early In the day, or after

work in the evening,

4. Selling costs per dollar in sales are frequently much less; in a Baltimore store they were reported to be only 49 per cent of the over-the-counter sales costs.

DISADVANTAGES

5, Phone order-taking is retailers only defense against inclement weatherand we are approaching the inclement season.

Several million dollars in phone sales are made eau:h Sunday in seyeral large cities. Marshall Field. Chicago, is said by telephone company employees to have made 2,500,000 telephone sales in the past year.

But there arjc disadvantages, too:

1. The rate of returns op telephone sales is usually higher. Goods sometimes fail to nieet buyers expectations.

2. Store.s los(^'impulse sales so often made to shoppers who drop in to buy one advertise'* item and stay to buy other* not advertised.

3. Stores lo.se add-on sale*. Telephone order takers can be

trained to suggest additional items, but usually this is not as effective as the suggestion selling by trained salespersons.

In some areas, it Is difficult to recruit good employees for Sunday and night work.

The final test is in the profit-and-loss statement, if stores can make- more money by spending more to promote phone sales, they will do it. And in the next three months some Intensive testing will be done to determine potentials.
