Humpty-Dumpty

A Great Role In Individual Lives

As a freneral rule the bigrger an organization is the more difficult it is to distinguish the part an individual plays in the life of the organization and conversely, the part the organization play! in the life of the individual. ^

In an international organization such as the United Nations, the meaning of the UN to the individual citizens of its member nations is often obscured by major international problems, gigantic debates and international politics. Close examination, however, points up sharply the fact that the United Nations has been extremely meaningful in the life of individual citizens of the world in the 13 years since its organization.

Although it has failed to achieve all the things which were expected of it. the United Nations has proved an effective instrument for preserving world peace at times when open conflict between nations loomed had not such an organization been in existence. It has been a medium of better understanding between nations and it has been the instrument through which

We Hope Our Guests Enjoy Their Visit

The Daily Reflector welcomes to (ireeiiville the newspaper men and women from Eastern ('arolina who gather here today and tomorrow for the meeting of the Eastern North Carolina Press Association.

It has been several years since the association has met in our city, and we find it a source of satisfaction that they again have chosen Greenville for the site of their annual business session.

We trust the newspaper people, like all other visitors to Greenville, enjoy their stay in our community, find its people friendly and helpful, and will be anxious to visit Greenville again.

We are confident they \\ '\ find that local citizens demonstrate in their every-day contact with visitors the citys motto, Our Greenville, Yours If You Come.

Harriman Says J Will Be Nixon

significant progre.ss has been achieved by some of the worlds most under-developed nations.

Nations, after all, are composed of individual citizens, and that which comes to bear on the life of the nation-good or badhas its impact upon the individual citizens of the nation. As the United Nations has helped to relieve international tensions, resolve international disputes and maintain international peace, it has directly influenced the lives of individuals throughout the world. As the UN has helped bring cultural and^ economic progress to nations, it has brought cultural and economic progress to the citizens of tho.*ie nations.

Without que.stion, the average person feels him-.<!elf far removed from the organization of the United Nations. Yet, the work of this great international organization in the pa.st 13 years has done as much to influence the every-day life of nations and their citizens as any other man-made in.stitution. Without the UN, the world pattern of international relations would have been different during the past 13 years. And if the pattern of international relations had been different, so would have the domestic life of individual nations and their citizens.

W^hat the United Nations means to the and to the nations and their citizens, it also means to the individual citizens of the world and the nations.

HARRIMAN What Avercll Harriman said to reporters on his visit to Raleigh this veek tuas more significant than what he said in his prepared speech at the United Nations dinner. The former Governor of New York and ambassador to Moscow, multimillionaire liberal Democrat, thinks the Republicans will have to nominate Richard Nixon for President next year. He said Nixon speaks the Republican language, while Nelson Rockefeller (Who defeated Harriman for Governor la.'^t time ls an independent Demcxrat whose philosophy IS incompatible with the cold-blooded hard-boiled element which controls the Republican party.

He was not nearly so sure about who would, or should, be the Democratic pre.sidential nominee. He has Adlai Stevenson heading his list of five prospects, the others being Senators Lyndon Johnson of Texas, John Kennedy of Mas.sachusetts. Stuart Symington of Missouri and Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota. Any one of them can win, he said. Considering the divergence of views from conservative to ultraliberal in that group, he wa.s actually predicting that any Democrat who Ls nominated can win in 1960. Because the Republican record for the past eight years. Harriman doesnt think much of that record, pointing out that the United States ha.s lost face and prestige among the nations continuously since 1952. He thinks the people recognize this and will put a Democratic adminLstration in power to recoup the loss.

He joins Governors Hodges of North Carolina and Collins of Florida in the belief that the presidential nominee should have large voice in picking liLs running mate for vice president.

CO.MMITTEE-Harriman wa.s Ic.ss critical of Chairman Paul Butler of the National Democratic Committee than most Southerners have been, but he confe.ssed he saw no reason for Butlers evident effort to stir up sectional strife in the party. At the same time, he fully endorsed the Butler plan of an appointed Advisory committc". which has assumed many times to speak for the party in declaring

attitude.s and positions not alw^ays in harmony wdth the elected national executive committee-

He Ls a member of the ad-vi.^ory group, along with Adlai Stevenson. Harry Truman and others who were not chasen by their states for membership on the authoritative policy-making committee of the party. Inasmuch as Butler named this extra group because he said the leadership in the Congress w'as not speaking accurately for the party, it was surprising that four of the five potentials for President named by Harriman are members of the U.S. Senate, with not a Governor in the list,

EVERETT Harriman digressed to pay high tribute to Mrs. B.B. Everett, national coni-mittecwoman for North Carolina, and one of the few' members of the committee to be named on the extra advisory group. She Ls a very lovely lady and an able person. he said. That in face of the record that on almost every issue Everett has voted with the minority against majority decisions supported by Harriman and Butler, and the dominant clique in the group. Mrs. Everett has said she dislikes being cast in minority role all the time, but she has won the admiration of her colleagues tor standing up for her convictions regardless of the odds.

POTPOURRIGovernor John Patterson of Alabama is a nephew of LaFayette Patterson of Raleigh, who operates a travel service bureau here. The Raleigh man went to Asheville during the recent Southern Governors Conference to see how my youngest brothers boy is getting along. He was not disappointed. . .

Multimillionaire Averell Harri-nian. connoisseur and patron of arts, stayed over an extra day on his Raleigh trip to visit the State Art Musuem. . .

Mrs. Fred Morrison of Washington, Charlie Parker and Mirian Rabb of the State advertLsing divLsion. were caught in a huddle the other day trying to figure out some w'ay to get a more attractive float in the DLstrict of Columbia parade for North Carolina Society Day than the prize-winnmg job entered la.'^t year. Theyve got a real job. but odds are offered they'll come with something belter than ever. . ,

Need For Simpler Tax Rules Is Demonstrated

For tho.se who have trouhle.s with their income lax forms once every year, there may he some consolation in knowing that even the Internal Revenue agents .sometimes have trouble filling out their own income tax forms.

The Tax Court has ruled tliat a Los Angeles agent for the IRS must pay an additional $220 in taxes because he deducted as an expense using his car for field trips rather than requesting reimbursement for the trips from the agency.

In all probability the agent was doing what he thought was the proper thing in filing his return the Avay he did. Being an agent for the Internal Revenue Service he had, in all probability, spent a great deal more time studying the rules and regulations governing income tax returns than the average taxpayer would in several lifetimes. Yet, his interpretation of what the regulations said differed from those of the Internal Revenue Service by which he was employed, and by the Tax Court as well.

All of which adds further support to the oft-heard suggestions that income tax forms and the regulations behind the form.s be simplified so that the average taxpayer could under.stand betler how to file his income tax return pioperly.

Hs a belated appraisal, but embarking these cla.vs on a 500-page tor more novel can be a hectic thing.

Time available for that kind of reading comes in bits and pieces. Most mortals have obligations that call for their attention. and novels need must take a backseat.

Oh they are read. . .no question about that. Writers keep writing and publishers keep publishing; and paperback editions soon make bestsellers available to all.

My own idea of how to enjoy one of those lengthy literary blockbusters involves a complete

lack of distractions for the length of time it takes to read the dedicatory note in front all the way through to the last printed w'ord on the back of the jacket,

Thai W'ay you can wade in up to your eyebrows. . .lose yourself ill the makebelieve world of the author. It doesnt happen to me any more.

The skein of carefully plotted characterization, the sub-plots and over-all tide of events, the occasional touches of coarsene.ss, slick sophistication and the passages mirroring life. . .they all form a part of the spell of the whole.

By JAMES MARLOW

WASHINGTON (AP) An.vone bothered by the feeling the international air was getting too clear for comfort can breathe easier now. The smog is coming back. Things are getting to be tiieir old foLiled-up selves again.

It was like watching the departure of a busy tugboat, leaving behind a phosphorescent wake, when Premier Nikita Khrushchev barged away from here last September. He left behind a kind of glow.

The dark and sinister waters of the world seemed a little brighter, if only temporarily. There was a feeling, perhaps only a hope, that maybe now things would get smoothed out a bit, and better.

And maybe they will. But just Wednesday there was new evidence that for anyone who loves to see things get fouled up, this is a very wonderful world.

For example; It was generally understood that Khrushchevs meeting with President Eisenhow'er however would be followed, sooner or later, by a summit meeting between Eisenhower, Khru.shchev, and the heads of the Briti.sh and French governments. The only question left was when.

British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan favored a summit meeting all along. The somier the better seemed to be his motto. Elsenhower reportedly had suggested to the Allies that it be held in December.

But Wednesday President Charles de Gaulle of France held out for a meeting not before spring, with a big if attached; If the world climate has improved by spring. That leaves the door wide open for de Gaulle to back out of any time he pleases.

Since word also came from Pans Wednesday that Khrushchev may visit de Gaulle in January. the possibility for snafu increased immeasurably. De Gaulle isnt easy to get along with. And Khrushchev can be difficult.

If they dont get along, will De Gaulle want a summit meeting

at all And between now and spring a lot of things can happen to kill the whole idea of a summit meeting.

Then there's the question of disarmament and Red China. While here Khrushchev talked in such a hearty w ay about the possibility of world disarmament that no one was quite simple enough to buy the package wholesale.

It was good propaganda for the Soviet Union but there are a million details in disarmament and they have to be agreed on before there Is any. No one expected it to happen soon, anyway.

And right in the middle of the disarmament notion was an enormous question: What about Red China The*Chinese Communists arc armed. But the United States refuses to recognize them as the legitimate government of China.

Further, this country doesnt even think they're fit to be in the United Nations. Still further, the Red Chinese have vowed to take Formosa away from the Nationalist Chinese of Chiang Kai-shek, an American ally.

They cant do that without guns. And what good would any agreement on disarmament with the Soviet Union do if the Red Chine.se stayed armed. But how can we make an gigreement w'ith them if w'e refuse to recognize them as a government

These were all questions that couldnt be pushed under the rug. And Secretary of State Christian A. Herter even said this country hold.' the Soviet Union responsible 111 some degree for the actions of Red China.

If he really sticks to that, then things are really nies.sed up. Late Wednesday the State Department said Red China shows no sign of abandoning its announced intention to u.^e force, if nece.isary. to take Forma'^a.

Thi-s news yas Lssued after it became known that Khrushchev had sent Eisdnhower a letter dealing w'ith Red China. The letter said Moscow supports tlie Communist Chinese claim to Formosa.

Oiher Editors Saying ... Who Is Breaking Faith?

(Ilendersqn Dispatch)

If Khrushchev did not know of the indignities and insults heaped upon the American Embassy official in Moscow last week, and if It were not done wth his knowledge and consent, then he would do well to investigate. If he did know about it, and if he were sympathetic to the incident, he Is breaking faith with his repeated assurances of a desire for peace and good will.

The officer in question was surrounded by five plainclothes-men as he stepped from a bus on a Moscow street a block from the Embassy, was forced into a wai-ting car and w'hlsked away to a secret hideout and given the third degree in questioning about his activities. 'The official was accused of spying and of attempting to obtain state secrets. .He was threatened with violence, and th security of even his wife and three young children residing with him in the Russian capital was hinted.

The U.S. Emgassy charge daffaires vigorously protested, as did the State Department in Washington, but thus far to no avail.

If Khrushchev was sincere in his professed claim to desiring an end to the cold war this incident belies his statements made here and elsewhere since he left the United States a few weeks ago.

In our book, it all adds up to the conviction held all the while, namely, that the No. I Communist was only. trying to deceive the people of this country, to mislead them into leeting their guard down and to seducing the free world as to his motives, to the

end that his despicable scheme world conquest might speeded and made the easier.

And no time have we ever believed he was talking and acting in good faith. We have never thought that his coming here boded any lasting good for this country and for free people generally. This latest incident, hard on the heels of his claims for peace, disproves all that he has said. His smiles were only skin deep. His grandiose promises were no more than lip service ill the hope of magnifying and intensifying the colossal hoax he was seeking to perpetrate.

It Is further evidence that no dependence can be placed in Soviet promises. We are thus warnd again of the inherent dangers of trying to do business with the Communists. The only way that can be done is by surrender, and thats the last thing free people will do if they cherish their liberty and are determined to safeguard it. The Moscow incident is proof that tbere was no good faith in what was promised by Khrushchev when he w'as here or at any other time. Thats the only logical interpretation that can be given to the insults heaped upon the American Embassy attache at the week-end.

A full explanation and apology ought to be demanded by Washington. It could even be the basis for backtracking on the summit conference which seems now to be near at hand. It Is an example of what may be expected in duplicity and deception when and if the heads of state come together.

To have it broken, not once but a score of times, can be trying.

And aside from those distractions occasioned by duty, there are other distractions by choice. For instance, the reader-of-noveLs Is also apt to peruse tw'o weekly news magazines, a couple of monthly publications and one or two other magazines on the side, a daily newspaper, a trade publication etc.

But a good novel leaves Its imprint in the reader; distractions, whatever they may be, are only temporary breaks in the skein. The reader can sometimes shrug off his interruptions wthin a paragraph or two and be caught up again.

My own wonder at the novel Is largely directed at the writer. To instill a logical development of character among the scores of characters who wander in and through the pages, to blend the many facets of activity into a unified w'hole, to keep constant his goal throughout the prolonged gestation period, to then go back and polish thrice-familiar phrases . . .all this would appear to make the writer an even more fantastic creature than the personalities he inserted in his work.

Harder yet to understand, the successful novelist doesnt stop with one. He keeps going.

Quote...

Wp believe the time ha.s come when the Sta<c Department of Labor should devote it-.self to a study of the child labor laws and recommend the repeal or modification of many of them. It has been demonstrated that these laws cannot be enforced nor do they produce the .salutary social consequences which were anticipated, in fact, recent studies of juvenile de-linqueitcy indicate that these laws may be a contributing cause to youthful wrongdoing. The lad,who is Idle, invariably is the lad who gets into trouble. Insuring his a Idleness and spreading the philosophy that honest work is an evil against which our young people must be protected is the surest way of encouraging the delinquency that is shocking the nation today.A.^bury Park (N.J.)

By HAL BOYLE

NEW YORK (AP)-If I succeeded, anyone can succeed, said J, J, FrekeHayes, whom courage made a millionaire.

I dont understand healthy people who don't make the grade. You can do whatever you decide to if you put your mind to it.* The life of Freke Hayes, founder father of the nations telephone answering industry, bears vivid testimony to the truth of his creed.

Jay. now 59. is a man who simply doesnt know how' to quit.

Thirty-nine years ago. as a voung clerk in Akron, Ohio, Jay was paralyzed after injury in a dive into shallow water.

First the doctors said he would die, then they told him he would never walk again.

I didnt believe It, he recalled. I dont know whether it was faith or Ignorance. But I knew I W'as going to walk. Jay worked at his reluctant muscles until he could move haltingly about.

In 1921 he conceived the idea of a direct telephone answering service for doctors,

For a year I ran it myself, sleeping at night by the switchboard. he said. Then I hired a girl to run the service during the day, and I set out to get new business.

Paralysis lingered in his left foot and made every step perilous. Fifteen to 20 times a day Jay would fall to the ground, pick hinxself up and move on to his next call.

By 1953 Freke Hayes had 30 telephone answering exchanges, 7.000 subscribers and 500 employes. He sold out and moved to Babson Park, Fla., intending to retire and take life easy.

But he simply couldnt quit. He now has 10 more telephone answering exchanges, and Is ready to launch out in a new field organic farming.

But the mere act of walking remains a problem to him. He still falls down about 10 times a week.

It keeps me physically exhausted all the time. he admitted, smiling ruefully. I get so tired I can trip over a match-stlck. I have big bumps on my knees from falling on them so many times through the years. His wealth enables Jay to indulge in many acts of quiet philanthropy, and his own long suffering has given him a deep feeling of kinship with all who know trouble.

Opinions In Brie::

Indeed, one of the most interesting asijects of the new labor legislation is the nonpar-ti.san spirit in which it was adopted. Toward the end of the long congres.sional debates on this tough bill, it seemed as though the bill were scarcely controversial; legislators who voice the union line seem to be almost nonexistent these days. Some liberals like Paul Douglas and Hubert Humphrey, who had shouted themselves hoarse again.st Taft-Hartley, this time stood on the sidelines and finally voted for Uie bill without a murmur. Even pat McNamara, who went to Congre.ss after eighteen years as president of a Detroit pipefitter.s local ended up among the ninety-five Senators who voted yea.Fortune.

One of the strictest di.scjpliiuir-iaius among 18-century sea captains was Bartholomew Roberts, He never drank liquor; gambling wa.s forbidden in hi.s .ships: women were never allowed aixard: crew members off

watch had to go to bed early; and he enforced a rest period on tlip Sabbath.

But Captain Roberta was a pirate. He captured more than 400 ve.ssels before dying in battle with a British warship, and he wa.s. on a very large scale, a robber and murderer Despite his '.hrict avoidance of drinking, gamlilinu, and .so forth, he was a very evil man.

We .sometinii .s ignore much moie cimtial indications of character. Had Captain Roberts lived to retire a.shore and continue his ascetic habits, he would probably have been accepted by many people a.s a highly moral man.

American relations with Canada are worsening.

Canada Is still one of our nearest and dearest friends. We read the same comic books and speak the same languages. (C'est vrai. monsieur And even bad relations with Canada are a thousand time.s more pleasant th4ii good relations with Russia.

At -<he moment, w'e are making desperate efforts to improve relations with the Soviets and with democracies around the world, especially in Latin America at the moment. But America should not forget that Canada Is more important to ils than, say. Arkansas.

There are more United States citizea-s in Canada than in Arkansas: there are more Caiiadiaivs in the rest of the United States than in Arkan.sas. now RELATIONS HAVE DE-TERICR.^TED

Tliese are the causes of Canadian re.sentment of the United Siate.^; Canadian indiustry. There ha." been a big flow of American capital into Canada ."ince the end of ihf war, Canada has, la iact.

invited it. It wanted capital to develop its aluminum, oil, nran-iuni, and other industries. It wanted inve.stor.s to finance plant.s and factorie.s, and made the terms attractive.

American investors poured money in. They werent being ju.st friendly They were looking for profits, often tax - sheltered sains. But it ends up w'ith Americans owning sizable chunks. And a Canadian workman, trudging these chill fall days toward his job in a factory or mine. Is inclined to ask. Am I doing this for myself or those Yankees in sunny Florida

2. Now that investment.s have tapered off, the situation is worsened. The flow of capital ha.s diminished, but the outflow' of money to pay for borrowings has risen. This year Canada may have the biggest deficit in its balance of payments in Its history.

nORDFR CROSSINCi DIVIDENDS

3. The flow oi oivirirnds. al though included in the balance payuitnls deficit, is sharpcu-

Ing the situation. The shipment of divendend cash across the border hurls Canadian pride no less than Canadian banK statistics.

4. Canadians resent Yankee attitudes on the foreign exchange situation. People from south of the Canadian border have had to pay a premium when changing their money into Canadian currency. The sole rea.son for thus has been the flow' of American capital into Canada. Canadian dollars cost more simply because of the American demand. In otlier words, Americans are responsible for the rise in the value of the Canadian dollar yet Americans. as a rule, usually chide Canadians for the trouble. In face, some Americans have been insulting, trouble-making.

5. American farm surplus policies have offended the Canada ians. True, .some of the.se policies have provided windfalls for Canadian grain growers. But on the whole, they have been put Into effect with little consultation with Canadian aiitiiontie.s, There has been almost no effort to

solve crop problems together.

If we accept historic prece-denls. the only thing we can do under these circumstances us to declare war on Canada and wipe it out. Pow'erful nations have never afforded di.siruntled nations along their borders. But if we are too chicken to declare w'ar'' (and thank goodness we are') the only thing w'e can do is to make economic adjusU nienls to get along with Canada. And if we dont, the Canadians are likely to feel like marching down and knocking the daylights out of us.
