Our Priority Still Remains Low

Does the fact that the powerful Voice of America transmitters will be located in and near Pitt County mean that this will be a prime target area in case of enemy attack?

An Associated Press article in yesterdays Reflector pointed out that the number of important installations that have sprung up in the Carolinas in recent years have tended to make the area a likely target in case of enemy attack. Included in the list of important Unatallations was the new VGA facility which will be "located in a triangle around Greenville.

Maj. Gen Edward F. Griffin, head of North Carolinas Civil Defense,.said, It would be of strategic value, in my opinion, for an enemy to silence the Voice of America station.

There is no doubt that the location of the VGA facility here makes this immediate area of more in-tere.t to enemies of this nation in case of war than it Twould have been otherwise. It is reasonable to expect that Pitt County would have a higher priority for attack as the location for powerful VGA transmitters than it w'ould as a tobacco producing center.

The danger of this areas becoming a target,'however, may be more remote than one might expect.

Not long ago we had an opportunity to discuss with a man we regard an expert, the matter of Pitt with VGA installationsbecoming a target area in case of enemy attack. During World War II, with the shoe on the other foot, he was interested in seeing that powerful radio propaganda transmitters of enemy na-

SETTLING DOWNWith lesa than four weeks remaining time for filing notice of candicacy, the major races seem pretty well settled0 far as participants. not results, are concerned. The contest ot ttie U. S. Senate will be between Sen. Everett Jordan and Addison Hewlett. At least two others have azmounced. but they are rlrtually unknown and their entry is not likely to effect the primary outcome.

Dave Coltrane declining to get in the race for Lieutenant Governor assures a three - way contest there among C. V. Henkel. Cloyd Philpott and David McConnell, with a second primary indicated.

GOVERNOR The campaign for Governor is the center of interest, as is pnn>er and usual. The situation, however, is very unusual. As this is being written there are only two avowed candidates. Tory Sanford and John Laiicins. There is virtual certainty that by time it can be read, or within a few hours. Attorney General Malcolm B-Sea well will be in. And there is a 50-50 chance that Beverly Lake will get back in. Me. Broughton, highway chairman, definitely took himself out this week. Edwin Gill. State Treasurer, did that a few days ago and Arthur Kirkman, High Point railroad and B & L executive, is ready to remove his name from speculation.

Beverty Lake stepped aside, but not quite out. last week and a group of friends are trying to raise enough money to raise enough money to Justify him stepping back in line. At least a three-way race, possibly a four-sided contest, is shaping up with final result to be determined in a run-off primary.

A second race is possible for the U. S. Senate, but highly improbable.

UNPRECEDENTED The situation which has developed ,is without parallel in North Car-*olina political history. Terry Sanford has been actively campaigning for the nomination for at least three years. John Larkins is known to have cherished the ambition to be Governor for much longer than that. In broad general terms they represent the traditional factions" in the Democratic party.

Larkins has been in the inner circle of the party organization, dominated by the group that for lack O clearer designation has been called the conservative element. A veteran of many terms in the Senate, he has headed most of the major com-mltiees and served as chairman of the Advisory Budget CommLv Sion. He has been secretary and chairman of the Democratic State Executive Committee, has managed four or five Jefferson-

Jackson dinners, and is presently national committeeman for North Carolina.

Sanfords participation in State government was one term in the State Senate. He has been YDC State president, was associate manager of Kerr Scotts successful senatorial campaign In 1954, and is regarded the champion of the so-called liberal element in the party.

Traditional lines have gotten tangled. The conservative and liberal tags mean less than they once did. Sanford gathered some definite conservative support, and Larkins had appeal for some liberals. It became evident more than a year ago that a great many people were not satisfied with the limited choice between these two candidates. They begin to scout the field tor recruits.

Addison Hewlett, who had been catapulted to prominence as Speaker of the 1959 House, looked for a time like a gift from the gods and the answer to at least some prayers.

BUILD UP - EarUer there had been a flurry of trial balloons for Beverly Lake, champion of segregation, and Malcolm Seawell. the voice of moderation, with respect to public school integration. Always in the background as a sort of safety reserve was the scholarly Edwin Gill.

Developments here and in other states took most of the wind out of the Lake and Sea-well balloons, and they were temporarily sidetracked from popular speculation. Recent events have brought them back into the picture.

Meantime, the Hewlett boom flowered like an atomic blast, while Sanford and Larkins went about the business of consolidating their support. For a per-ior it looked like a three-way race for Governor. Then in a dramatic and somewhat pathetic interview. - Hewlett took himself out of the running, citing lack of money as the reason.

Soon thereafter Hewlett announced his candidacy for the U. S. Senate, which many of his friends had believed was his first love all along. There was natural affinity among supporters of Sanford for Governor and and Hewlett for the Senate, because the Sanford group had resented appointment of Everett Jordan to the Senate upon death of Kerr Scott.

Obvious alignment of Sanford and Hewlett was not pleasing to all the supporters of either. Nor did the inevitable resulting line up of Larkins and Jor-kins and Jordan occasion happiness all through their camps. The search for another candidate for Governor was accelerated. That brought Malcolm Seawell back to front line-

tions were knocked out by Allied attacks. To his disappointment, however, it was only rarely if ever that targets more important than powerful radio installations did not take higher priority for bombing missions, both in Allied and Axis planning.

The gentleman explained it this way. In spite of the fact that propaganda has an important part in modern warfare, when the chips are down military installations, industrial and munitions plants, transportation facilities and other facilities are more important in winning a shooting war than propaganda. At any given moment during a conflict there will probably be more of such installations that need to be attacked than the attacking nation has personnel and equipment to strike. Thus in the rating of priorities for attack, it was shown in World War II that propaganda radio installations, although in easy reach of striking forces, continued to remain far down the.list.

ne striking forces were used to hit industrial are^g4uming out equipmeht essential to the war effort, ^^Ja'^sporlation centers, support ground troops, strike military installations and the like. They never sufficiently knocked out enough such facilities to find time to attack the propaganda transmission centers:

Should another shooting war comeeven though it is a liuclear warit is not unlikely that a similar situation would exist. If another nation decides to attack the United States, it will be most interested in seeing that American facilities for carrying on a shooting war are knocked out. Facilities for broadcasting American propaganda overseas may prove annoying, but probably not as important in the final outcome of the conflict as facilities for making missiles, ships, munitions or for transporting such items.

VGA installations, such as the one to be constructed here, probably would remain far down the list when it came to picking prime targets. There would be too many other more important things the enemy would be interested in destroying.

Maj. Gen. Griffins opinion to the contrary notwithstanding, in case of actual conflict, Pitt County probably would be in little more real danger of attack with the VGA facilities here than it would without them.

Were Supposed To Be Fed From Same Spoon

Justice, under the American judicial system, is supposed to be meted out to each individual solely on the merits of his case in accordance with the law.

For justice to be determined by political expediency, be it local, national or international, threatens the very foundations of our judicial system.

State Department intervention in the case of Caryl Chessman, condemned to death 12 years ago in California, is a matter that deserves the serious attention of the administration, Congress,-and the government of California. Indeed, it deserves the attention of the entire nation.

We place upon our judicial system the heavy rh-sponsibility of determining the guilt or innocence of an individual accused of a crime, and also the responsibility of pronouncing the ponishmeiit the individual should receive if he is found guilty.

Are we now to take from the courts this latter responsibility and place-it in the hands of pressure groups in our own nation or abroad? Are we going to leave it to the State Department to determine in the light of international relations \vhat punishment should be given persons found guilty of the more widely publicized crimes?

Under our judicial system, every person, rich or poor, famous or unknown, is suppo.sed to be fed from the same unbiased spoon of jthe court. That philosophy hardly seems to go hand-in-hand wdth the latest development in the Chessman case where the State Department requested Chessman be given another reprieve because of possible adverse reaction abroad if his long-delayed execution is carried but.

'Dog-For-A Dog Routine?

Tonight, basketball teams from East Carolina and Atlantic Christian Colleges will renew one of the siffest inter-collegiate rivalries in these parts.

Itll be interesting to see how the respective student bodies react. though the outcome of the hardwood scramble is of prime significance.

When the two teams met in Wilson recently, the visiting Pirates had^ a tremendous following, EC students filled nearly half of Wilson's community center to whoop it up.

An old tradition"Bohunk touched off something of a mild riot as the game ended. Bohunk is bedraggled well bucket surrendered to the winning team at each athletic event staged between the two schools.

Pirate followers somehow felt the old bucket would not be handed over properly and took It on themselves to retrieve same.

Apparently, the result was mass confusion. Somebody got the bucket and rumors have it somebody else stole the bulldog ACCs mascot.

Tonight, Bohunk will again be a stake. ACC students will make the short trip from Wilson to reclaim the old bucketif the Bulldogs should beat the local cagers.

Maybe its wild speculation, but it could be the Wilson crowd may be looking for a different type of revenge. If EC folks snatched up the stocky canine mascot in Wilson the other night, there may be foul play affot again.

The old adage, eye for an eye, etc. may take on the appearance of something like, dog lor a aog.

A litle advice for the Wilson crowd, though: If therell be an attempt to capture Buc, ECC's giant Great Dane mascot, therell

have to bt a full corpa of organized kidnappers.

WASHINGTON (AP)-Its Just possible, government officials believe, that Wall Streets nervous tremors are caused by the fear of noninflation.

The economists say they can see nothing else in the business outlook for 1960 to explain the sinking spells of the stock market.

Production income and profits are at record highs and expected to keep going up at moderate speed. Gradually improving employment is foreseen.

These are substantially the same forecasts as were made on New Years Day. Only one significant change has been made: There may be less inflation than weve gotten used to.

Practically nobody expected the economy to race. Remember the headlines over the New Year forecasts? They said: Record 60 prosperity seen but no boom.

Thats exactly what we're getting. And even if a recession should come along later, government economists say the first reliable signs wont be visable for at least a month or so.

They contend that President Eisenhowers forecast that the economy will keep expanding through 1%0 and beyond is still as good as anybodys guess.

So why did sentiment in the money markets shift in January? Why the recent recurrent stock-selling waves followed by good rallies that dont quite make up the losses?

For the answer, a good man'y people here point to the White House. The psychological change, they say. dates from Elsenhowers State of the Union Message.

Earlier that week the steel dispute ended-^lth a hardly inflationary settlement. The stock market zipped to a record high. Then Elsenhower announced the government would run a surplus of more than four billion dollars next year. The market has looked less robust ever since.

The big surplusto the extent it comes U'ut means the

great weight of federal fiscal operations will be deflationary. TTie government will be taking in more moneyand soaking up more buying powerthan it spends.

The treasury will be engaged in paying off debt instead of deficit financing. It will not be competing heaxily with private business for investment funds. Already credit has eased a trifle and Interest rates have fallen a litUe.

Some of the economists who had foreseen a 1960 price rise of Hi to 2 per cent now expect only about 1 per cent. Wholesale prices have been edging down.

Farm prices are expected to continue to decline.

This is not an outlook that spurs people to buy stocks as a hedge against depreciation of their, dollars. Nor Is it a business climate in which you can count on making a fast speculative buck.

. And many of the shares that were bought in expectation of ever-advancing Inflation are likely to be overpriced. Todays market seems to be squeezing the inflation out.

(Henderson Dispatcr)

Any one who has ever driven up to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, walked up the long steps to the shrine on the banks of the Potomac river, and facing the towering Washington

Monument and the Capitol in the distance, and then paused in front of the giant statue of Abraham Lincoln seated in a great arm chair more than

twelve feet high, cannot escape the welling up of tremendous emotions within him.

Ones whole frame surges to the point of overflowing in a high degree of patriotism.

There is admiration for the man who did his utmost to preserve the Union and who gave his

life to that end. It has been

said that he was the best friend the South ever had. and in all

likelihood .the status of the.

States of the defeated Confederacy would have been infinitely more dignified and would have been established with far greater Justice to them and to the nailon as a whole had he lived to. preside over the Reconstruction era.

Lincoln was a man of the utmost compassion, understanding and tolerance. There was nothing vindictive about him. His prosecution of the war was not so much the subjection of the seceding States as it was to make the Union secure and strong and great. Even despite his tragic and untimely death, his influence was felt and to

day is more appreciated than ever before.

Lincoln is better understood in the South nearly a century after his death than ever he was in life. His immortal Gettysburg address Is Inscribed in marble on the south wall of the Interior, and his second Inagur-al address on the north wall. The Gettysburg address is a classic of the American republic and will live as long as free men survive in this nation. It is cherished by patriots in all the States, and all or parts of it can be recited by millions of school children and adults in this broad land of liberty.

Today the nation pauses to commemorate the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, bom February 12, 1809, in a log cabin in Kentucky. The legacy he left to his country is that of liberty and Justice to all. Americans, as much today as ever in the past, need desperately the inspiration of the principles of government he enunciated, and conformity thereto. His integrity and patriotism, if shared by citizens generally, would be the basl for solving many of our pressing problems, and would enable the country to surmount and overcome many of the evils rampant amongst us as a people. He was one of the greatest Americans, and as much as any man of the centuries was a citizen of the world in his outlook and generosity. As has 50 appropriately been said, he belongs to the ages.

Walter B. Jones, in Parmvills last night, received a warm reception from his lellow-towns men when he announced his candidacy for First Congressional Districts seat in Washington.

Nearly 150 FarmviUe folks Jammed the town halls court room to hear his announcement and gave a standing ovation when It came.

Jones, veteran state legislator, becomes with his announcement potentially Pitt Countys first congressman in more than a half-century. Pitts last representative seated in Washington was Harry Skinner of Greenville who lost his Md for a third consecutive term when he wrs beaten by some 1,400 votes by J. H. SmaU in 1898.

For Today Sirength

By EARL L. DOUGLA.SS POWER OF CHRIST

Jesus CJhrist is universally recognized as the greatest of all emancipators. Even those who do not accept Him religiously and people of nations and races which adhere to other religions look upon Jesus of Nazareth as having done more to free the hu-race from bondage than anyone anycMie else who ever lived.

How did He accomplish this and how does He continue to accomplish this?

The freedom which Christ confers is entirely an inner matter. He did not lay down any free form of government. He did not even advance a philosophy of freedom. What He did was so to bring God in touch with the human heart that men could let go their sins, disavow their selfish purposes, and commit their lives to the will of God,

What does this mean to us today? We of this enlightened generation are Just as much in bondage as men and women have been in any age. Anxiety, hate, fear. lust. Jealousy, avarice, and every hateful demon that has ever possessed human souls poRsess the souls of men today.

The message of the Christian gospel is that we can be free-We become free when we accept that offer of new power which God has made in and through Jesus Christ. He is a person, we are persons. Our personalities and His can merge: and when this merger and co-mingllng of His life and ours takes place, we are free.

In the relations among nations, the conversations still deal with war. the preparation for war, the aftermath of*war, allies, antagonists, alliances. Even such a measure as Atoms for Peace can be twisted into a warlike device..

This is internacional pathology. It. is a universal sickness. It eats into the entrails of every nation; it slows up human development; it diverts the wealth of the world from useful purposes to stockpiling for war.

In this connection, it is interesting to quote a paragraph from a speech by Walter Mor-eira Salles. Brtsilian Ambassa^ dor to the United Ittatea:

I am sure . . . that future financial operations with Brazil will be considered in the light of our record bearing in mind that the strengthening of our basis economic activities will maks Brazil the powerful ally that the United States needs... I am also sure that a great step forward wlU have been taken when the United States-eecure In its wealth and power, grasping the present Brazilian economic, social and politteal cot>-dlUoos will make available more public funds to other essential programs la which the governmental oil tndnstry of my country should find Its place.

Iliert was a time whea the American eontlnsnts were a de-veloidng area which could no longer be open to European ed-onlzation. It may have been umbrageous for the .Latin. American countries to have been protected by the Monroe Doctrine, a unilateral declara-Uon by the United States, but they were given a breathing period which neither Asia nor Africa had. That they uniformly failed to take advantage of thie opportunity was not our fault: perhaps It was In the essential difference between the Anglo-Saxon and Uw Latin nature.

Whatever the cause, the union of purpose of Brazil and the United States ought not to be based solely upon economio grounds. If that is all between the two countries, then an alliance la meaningless. We cannot drink aD the coffee that Brazil and ColomUa can produce; we cannot underwrite the the enormous development that must take place in Brazile economy. Our union most be based upon spiritual criteria which transcend economics. Ambassador SaUmaays;

...The coffee producing eono-tiies are k)w-incomc countries. They cannot afford indefinitely to buy up surplus producUoa and store it. liiey eannot afford to pay their producers to hold down production. Their only hope is to secure more orderly marketing of the coffee they produce. whUe hoping that consumption will somehow expand. The United SUtes Is by far the largest Importer of coffee in tbe world. Unfcrtunately, in some high income countries in Europe Imports of coffee are still held down, either by restriction or by high taxes lliis is a heavy burden on the coffee producing countries, a burden we are eager to see lifted.

The solution for the coffee-producing countries it to diversify production. Brazil is one of the richest countries on Ear^ th In terms of natural rcsouro-es. Its people cling to a comparatively narrow maritime area. President Kubitschek has, with a courage rarely witnesa-ed in these days of degenerate politics, risked eversrthing to build the city of Brasilia sufficiently inland to force his na^ tlon to recognize its immensity and its economie poasibiMes.

In this country, most that la known about Brasilia Is the bankers view that it has caused Brazilian money to depreciate. Actually, building this dty may be responsible for changing the character of Brazil, of making It the foremost oQppUy of Latin Ameriea and in perhaps as little as a century bringing Brazil forward as the economie equal of the United States.

On the other and, If the dead hand of political stupidity^ falls upon it, Brasilia could become a second Angkor a lost city In a vast Jungle, with vine# growing over Its structures and (Continued on Page 6)

By ELMER ROESSNER Lack of knowledge about foreign countries is costing American exporters tens of millions of dollars to change personnel abroad and straighten out embarrassing errors, Stefan Jean Rundt. business consultant, writes in the current Management Review, published by the American Manageihent Association.

Some past boo-boos:

Sending Christmas cards to Moslem customers-Using symbols showing men or animals in Islamic countries where such pictures violate the Koran.

Using trade marks shoWing twins or two of a kind on the West Coast of Africa where doubles are taboo.

Using window envelopes, except for routine enclosures, in many foreign countrle.s. , WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE!

Using Spanish in letters to Brazil, the largest Portuguese country in the world.

Using Castilian Spanish in

letters throughout the West Indies. Traders in Willemstad were not eyactly happy, Mr. Rundt wrote The fact that Bermuda was included In this mailing elicltecr a response

from a British gentleman, we should appreciate It if in the fu-,ture you were to be good enough to correspcBid in French, in the event that English is not within the realm of the possible. Sending literature printed in scarlet on yellow to Spanish speaking, countries. Falangists resented the Franco colors for commercial purposes; others regarded the colors as Franco propaganda.

There axe other common errors Mr. Rundt did not have space to list; scores of American advertisements, translajfed word-by-word into Spanish have made American Companies look ridiculous. idiotic or vulgar.

10 RULES FOR OVERSEAS PER.SONNEL Mr. Rundt listed ten points for American dealings abroad. They are;

1. Tolerance for the concept of mores and morals abroad, remembering we are the foreigners there.

2. Flexibility, in adjusting to mannerisms and attitudes abroad, and in marketing approaches and merchandise. In the United States, cigarette packs are wrapped in cellophane to keep the moisture in; in certain countries it should be advertised as keeping the moisture out.

3. Humility, and avoiding patronizatlon, condescension or playing the superman.

4. Justice and fairness, in recognizing that seeming primitive people may have far more ancient cultures than our own.

<r 5. Adjustability to varying tempos, to avoid looking strange in foreign climates.

EXPLORE FOREIGN LIFE

6. Curiosity aiTtf interest, in foreign lands. Dont turn native, but remember that a bar in a foreign hotel Is not the best place to learn about the cquntry.

7. Knowledge of the country, from learning the language and

something about the history, geography, government, sensitivities and etiquettes, economio factors and customs.

8. Liking for others. If you havent gt it, go home.^

9. Ability to command respect. Being liked is not enough; better than trying to endear ones self emotionally, win the intellectual acknowledgement and then th* faith of those with whom we deal.

10. Ability to integrate. Only those who work with the strean;i of forces prevalent in any given country will prpvall-

There are many morie things, but those 10 points cover a lot of ground.
