With Sen. Hubert Humphrey officially out of the race for the Democratic nomination, Sen. John Kennedy remains the undisputed leader of the field of candidates, his position greatly strengthened by his victory in West Virginia.

d upon in more than one county must report to the Secretary of State. County candidates win file reports with the clerk of court These reports will be interesting, but perhaps not very informative. The statute Is somewhat lax in its requirements and by long custom further evasions are permitted without question. The situation is much better than it was a few years back when the legal limit for spending for candidates for Governor and U. S. Senator was $12,000. In face of commonly known and provable expenditures of $100.000 or more the candidates or their managers managers filed sworn statements showing a few dollars more than $11,000 spent. There Is presently no statutory limit, and most people expect each of the four leading candidates for Governor to report $75,000 to $100,000 spent.

While candidates are reluctant to report what they spent, and even more reluctant to tell where the money came from, there iS' reason to believe that popular estimates of spending are too high. In some respects the political spending estimates arc like the precensus estimates of population. The actual nose-count by census takers in almost every instance showed fewer people In cities and towns than the local boosters had claimed. Audited figures of campaign spending very probably would show more than reported, but a good deal less than popular estimates.

NOT ENOUGH The candidates are in full agreement on one or two points. None will admit he has enough money to carry on the kind of campaign he wants and needs, but each one insists that his opponents are having no monetary problems.

Early reports were that Terry Sanford and John Larkins had plenty of money before they started running for Governor. Malcolm Seawell told newsmen at his announcement party that he would not have entered the race without what be thought was adequate financial backing. Beverly Lake withdrew from the contest be-' cause he said he did not have enough money, then got back in big because apparently the money had shown up. Now all ^ of them say they are short of adequate financing.

At that, he is in better situation than most other major candidates. There is practically no prospect of a second primary for the Senate, although there are four candidates. There is almost certainty of a run-off for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, and experience suggests that is where money will really count in getting votes. It has been noted before that present efforts are directed more to position in the second primary than to winning nomination in the first.

HAND OUTS-This is a belated report, already out of date, but since the same kind of thing has happened before and is likely to be repeated many jtimes, it may still be of some interest.

There is a long table in the Governors puter office on which are placed the news hand outs. Some days the table is almost empty. Some days it is full. Often the handouts have real news value, either complete or as tips for development of stories by the reporters.

On Tuesday morning of last week the table was full of new stuff. Reporters eagerly grabbed for the sheets. Heres what they got:

One story designating May 1-7 as Mental Health Week in North Carolina.

One designating the same period as Brand Names week in this state.

WASHINGTON (AP) Why hasnt Uie United States been tough enough to call Premier Nikita Khrushchev a phony for his hypocritical show about the American spy-plane downed over The Soviet Union?

Thats one of the two most puzzling questions about this whole episode in which the Soviet captured the plane and the pilot and. through Khrushchev-ian propaganda, pictured the United States before the world as an international villain.

This is the other: Why for a week has Khrushchev been putting on the horrified and self-righteous performance against spying when he and the Soviet Union have been up to their necks in espionage?

The State Department after first lying about it but then admitting it after Khrushchev produced the evidence of the one downed planeacknowledged this country has been sending spy planes around and Into the Soviet Union for years.

, But the Soviet Union for years ihas been spying on other coun-

mit this long-time spying.

He actually made his military defense look oafish to be able to claim only one plane out of many. Instead of admitting inadequacy, he diverted world attention from it by crowing about the one plane brought down.

After a week of watching this performance, one question gets bdgger and bigger: Why did he do all this?

Its been guessed that, since he meets with President Eisenhower and the leaders of Prance and Britain next Monday at the summit, perhaps he wanted to put them on the defensive before they even sat down.

Dr maybe all this is a buildup to blame the West if the summit meeting is a failure. Maybe he just wanted to diminish the stature of the United States in the eyes of the rest of the world.

Maybe any one of these surmises is the true one. Perhaps not. The. truth perhaps lies somewhere else and wont be disclosed for some time. Khrushchev had worked suspiciously hard on this one.

(Henderson Dispatch)

As the date draws near for the approaching summit conference In Paris, some officials in Washington are looking a little more closely at a speech by Premier Khrushchev at Baku some days ago. The theory now is that the blunt talk was a Soviet ultimatum ordering the West out of Berlin,

An ultimatum usually contains a deadline- for compliance with the demand presented. But this does not dispose of what Khrushchev said, and there are fears that President Eisenhower miht brush It off as unimportant, only to arrive in Paris to learn that the Moscow dictator meant It as just that. The President has said he would not attend the conference under threat or blackmail, but if .he ignores the speech he could find himself present at the meeting under precisely such conditions.

One of the things that has always been amazing about dealings with the Communists by the West is that the West never or rarely ever at bcstrtakes the initiative. There is contentment to sit idly by and allow international relations to drag along without stirring up strife and ill wUl, On the surface that is good, but underneath is found an attitude that is direcUy opposed to such procedure. To be content with allowing affairs to rock along as they may in the hope that in the end all will be weU is not enough, as has often been demonstrated. To awair- a brazen demand from

Why not an ultimatum from the West? Why not now and then tell Khrushchev what he must do?

There could be several answers to this enigma. One is that the Western nations are not aggressors. They have no axe to grind. They only want peace in the world.

But wouldn't it be as sensible to demand that Russia get out of Poland, or Czechoslovakia or the captive Baltic states as for Khrushchev to demand that the Allies get out of BwUn? The West is in Berlin under terms of a solenm agreement, made in good faith. The Soviets are in the statellite states by force

Khrushchev would be just as adamant in resisting Allied ultimatums as he is crusty and rigid in assuming the initiatvc toward the West. He knows any such demands from his adversaries would not be backed by force, should that become necessary, Therefore, he ignores Western policy and launches out into the deep on his own. That keeps the Allies In hot water most of the time, but provides the Kremlin chief with a device for further advances in his diabolical ambitions for world domination.

Nevertheless, it is difficult to see why anything could be lost by making some demands upon Khrushchev except that our side in making them would back away in the face of Soviet threats and force rather than risk open conflict. He knows that. DOes that explain Western temertty and tancy?

It is beginning to appear that Nikita Khrushchev wants to call off the Summit Conference or President Elsenhowers visit to Soviet Russia or both. The Summit Conference can now amount to nothing. Too much Is occurring before the conference to make it more than a meeUng of an estranged husband and wife in a lawyers office. The bloom has withered-The visit of President Eisenhower to Russia in June is something else. There can be no queson but that President Eisenhower ordinarily would bring cheer and good wlU to the Russian people. He has been blessed with a charming personality which quickly wins friends. Khrushchev is doing everything conceivable to break down the will of the Russian people to receive Eisenhower with enthusiasm. He may be afraid of the poUtkal consequences of such a reception. It may no longer ault hia purposes to have it happen. Khrushchev is now engaged in a vast enterprise of anti-Americanism in Latin America, the center of which is preseny Cuba. He may not want this enterprise interrupted even by the externals of friendship,

Khrushchev has a particular hatred for Vice President Nixon who bowled hlru over tn a free debate in pubiic In Mos- cow. Khrushchev can give pretty insulting talk but he cannot take any back-talk. This was early learned by Malenkov.

Molotov and Kaganovich. He chose the opening of the American Pair to give Nixon a bad time. With the skill of a trained debater. Nixon turned the tables and to use an old phrase, made a monkey out of Khrushchev. For this reason. Khrushchev hates Nixon and has made his hatred plain for all to see.

But there have been no prior indications that he also disliked Elsenhower or feared him.

In fact, the spirit of Camp David was a Khrushchev slogan for a while. Khrushchevs present conduct is making it increasingly difficult for President Eisenhower to go to Russia and the efforts are so persistent and so irritating that they are becoming unmistakable and sharply antagonis-C.

Khrushchevs game apparently is to get Eisenhower to decline to go. Then the Russian will enter upon a world-wide denunlcation o Elsenhower and the United States. H President Elsenhower sits tight, moves according to schedule. Khrushchev may find himself in the embarrassing position of being forced to tell Eisenhower that he does not want him to come.

Such a communication, after the reception that it might result in iM^aking off relations. It would if there were any pride left In the SUte Departracnt-This much Is clear: The

honeymoon engineered by Cyrus Eaton. Robert Dowling, Eric Johnston and other businessmen is over. The United States has consistently appeased Khrushchev, not to gain time, but with the pacifistic objective of avoiding war. It is not possible to cringe more or to crawl more or to take many more Insults. The rejection of Eisenhowers visit could be tha last straw.

What is not clear is what circumstances inside Soviet Russia are forcing Khrushchev to reorganize the political forces in his country. He has taken one of his ablest men out of the government and elevated him to the direction of the Communist Party. This elevation of Frol Kozlov would Indicate that there is more trouble in Russia than we know. If the party is strong, under the Soviet sys-temi the government wUl take care of itself. Stalin trusted no one with power in the party. Khrushchev apparently finds that the load is too heavy to carry and has to have assist- ajice of younger men whose blood pressure is not too high.

But what is the load that has become too heavy? Is it internal? Has>Mi generation which *

,tary s^ets;

If i(nyone has rignt to be outraged by spying its not the United States or the Soviet Union, both of which are. guilty oi it, but Switzerland. The United States and the Soviet Union are antagonists and, in this still primitive world, spying is natural for them.

But Switzerland is completely neutral and not allied with either side.

Khrushchev caught this country in a nasty trap through State Department blundering. This was when the department, without first knowing all the evidence Khrushchev had, denied there had been any aerial spying.

But the departments follow-up admission there had been such spying for a long time was a deadly embarrassment for , Khru.shchev although he was clever enough not to show it.

The fact that American planes have been probing deep Into the Soviet Union without capture or Injury w a terrible blow to Soviet claims of military defense. Khrushchev probably never dreamed this couulry would ad-

But this effort to diminish Eisenhowers stature Is as phony as all the rest. As boss of the Soviet Unioh. Khrushchev has had to do exactly what Eisenhower did but in reverse; He has had to give general approval for Soviet .spying.

This is the classic example of the upside-down and black-is-white world of communism. Still, for some unexplainable reason, Elsenhower and this government have been reluctant to wrap Khrushchev's own hypo-crasy around his neck.

Thats nice. Its undoubtedly true as far as the Conference Board sample went. But from w'hat businessmen tell me. small orders is one of their greatestproblems. After net profits taxes and labor relations.

A small order is simply an order for fewer of an Item than the producer can economically Wl. For example: A distributor, after ordering two carloads of refrigerators at a carload price, wires In for one more each of qiodels PX-756 and BX-999. at the caload price, natch.

But says the Conference Board, many managements have worked out ways to meet the small-order problem. Many other believe the losses involved In small orders are more than offset by good will.

The expense of filling small orders Is usually high in relation to value because the sales, bookkeeping and processing costs of any order are relatively fixed, the Conference Board .aid.

Several methods are being used to reduce losses ou small

Other companies use price differentials, either to add enough on the price to make small orders profitable, to Jack the price up to discourage smaU orders, or to provide incentives for purchasers to Increase the size of orders.

Still other manufacturers avoid small orders by channeling them to distributors and jobbers, and many others have established minimum requirements. Some companies take direct action to eliminate accounts that fall to meet desired volume standards, or that
