Another Weather Observation

Coastal N. C- Goins Tourist -Appeal

area to vacationers of the Tar Heel state and those from other states is reflected in the development of coastal areas of the state.

Each passing year sees the construction of more homes, more motels, more apartments as well as more commercial enterprises the entire length of the North Carolina coast. And these new facilities in turn provide an added attraction for people who look to thf coastal areas for their vacations.

This year, however, it appears that the coastal area of North Carolina will begin to rival the mountain area in attracting tourists. If it is any indication of what will come in the futureand certainly it must bewe may

expect the coastal area of the state to contnue to develop as one of the most popular resort areas along the Atlantic seaboard.

Although this spring has been unusually cool for North Carolina, most of the week-ends have found the beaches crowded, the boaters and fishermen numerous. To the casual obeserver at least, there also appears to be more out-of-state automobiles in the coastal area of North Carolina this year than in the past, even this early in the season.

The tourist potential of the states coastal area has long been recognized by many people of North Carolina. The effort made to develop that over a period of years now appears to be bringing returns to an area of the state that once was one of the poorest, economically speaking, of any in North Carolina.

Ail of these things indicate the growing popularity of the coastal area of the state as a summer playground. They also indicate that the coast, which once was viewed as a place to go only during the very hot-est months, is now becoming more of a year-round resort area.

New Sputnik Seems A Propaganda Gimmick

Russias new SputniR is impressive because of its size and it is impressive because of the timing which put it into space on the eve of the summit conference.

North Carolinas mountain areas have for years been a favorite spot for out-of-the-state vacationers. The coastal area of the state only recently has become a major attraction for vacationers from other states.

But other than these two factors, there appears little of importance about the new Soviet satellite. Apparently its importance for propaganda purposes outweighs its importance as a scientific device for space exploration.

!^ot Much Time i6ft To Choose

By LYNN NISBET

SENSITIVE As always happens during the final days of such contests the campaign for tite Draiocrac nmninaUon for Governor has reached the sensitive stage. As tim runs out opportunities for revising strategy and correcting mistakes are lessened, tempers flare and patience grows thin among the candidates and their responsible organisations.

With voting day less than two 'weeks off citizens are waking up to the fact they cannot much longer postpone the duty of choosing a candidate. There remains a big sitent vote, but experienced observers from the sidelines can see the campaign beginning to shape up more nearly along traditional lines tian has geen the case up to now. The off-side observers, with varying degrees of impartiality, are aided in their appraisals by the sensitivity of the main actors.

SECOND PRIMARY One conclusion seems Inescapable. Nobody now is running for the nomination on May 28. All four of the candidates are running for position in the second primary. Of course, each of them wl vigorously deny this attitude, but their campaign activities tend to discount their denials, and developments of the past two weeks seem to justify positive prediction that no majority will be obtained In the first primary. These developments however, do not afford assurance of who will be eligible for the run-off.

Big factors in that uncertainty are the questions of how many people will go to the polls on May 28: what sections of the state will produce heavy voting; the Imp&ct of accelerated registration of Negro voters, and the potency of old time political organizations to hold the line against the new concept of individual free-wheelingwithout regard to party or factional loyalties,

POSITION Twry Sanfwd, who has been actively running longer than anybody else, and who claimed a fairly efficient statewide (wganization when he formally announced, has been all along conceded first place. Preponderant evidence is he still holds it. though not as far in frwit as seemed certain a few weeks ago. There Is widespread feeling that he reached, his peak before the others really got started. Whether or not he has actually lost support, he has lost relative position because of gains by others. The objective of his forces is to hold top place, and to keep the spread between him and the next man as wide as possible.

His leading position is attested, perhaps unconsciously, by the other candidates who have singled him out mainly for their personal attacks. And *he has, perhaps unwittingly, confessed vulnerability in his sensi-

The size of the new satellitefour and one-half tonsrepresents a payload far above that which the United States has achieved in its space program. The fact, however, that Soviet scientists have said they will not attempt to recover an escape capsule from the satellite suggests they are not ready to risk an unsuccessful attempt to recover the capsule.

tive response to charges of lagor support and pie in the sky promises of expanded services without increased taxes. Instead of earlier policy of ignoring other contenders, Sanford lately has been placed on the defensive, at least to the extent of recognizing opposition.

John Larkins, also a long-time prospective candidate, and actually first to formally announce, has puzzled many observers and still doesby lack of aggressiveness in his campaign. In fact of complaints that he hasnt got off the ground he has built an organization based on the old line party workers at county and precinct levels. The roster of his advisers and local managers is replete with names that have been potent in North Carolina politics for a long time. His strategy conforms to the traditional; and traditionally his kind of operatives do not put out In lull force until the last two or three days. For that reason it will not be surprising if Larkins vote is a good bit, more than some people not familiar with old time politics now forecast.

There is evidence that the big spurt in appai'ent support of Beverly Lake, which was going like a prairie fire a few weeks ago, has slowed down. He moved into the east, especially the northeast and southeast, and captured support which had been reckoned in the camps of Larkins and Sanford. His strength is spotted. Reports from the big mid-state counties indicate he has not made much headway there. The silent vote which had been considered a source of strength for Lake is becoming vocative and is found to be divided among all the candidates. It would appear that while Lake ing places, he has not main-in gplaces, he has not maintained the rate of gain which marked the first weeks after his entry into the campaign.

Malcolm Seawell, latest comer into the race, and least known personally of all the candidates, started from scratch and worked fast to build an organization. His support is distributed over the state, but is stronger in the Piedmont counties. He Is at the extreme other end from Lake in the race question, advocating the moderate approach of recognizing the efficacy of court decrees, and the existing plan as the best guarantee of keeping the schools open. He Is more moderate in advocating additional government spending than Larkins and Sanford. He is credited with having support of the Hodges group. These factors contributed to his hope to be in the second primary.

When all the conditions are taken into account, it appears that as the campaign goes into next to its last week therea re next to Its last week there are a month ago.

In the case of the United States, efforts in this direction have been made several times, although without success. Efforts to put a man into space, of which this new Soviet satellite is a part, depend upon the successful return to earth of the man who makes the flight. On the surface it appears that the United States is farther advanced in this phase of the space program than is the Soviet Union.

By GEORGE SOKLSKY

If the Soviet space probe were primarily a scientific endeavor, why did it come at this particular moment? If it is a forerunner to a manned space flight, why is not some effort to be made to recover the dummy said to be contained in the satellite?

ine-Up For Second Place

The four-ton satellite is impressive for its size, but other than that, there is little so far to indicate that this latest launching puts the Soviet program ahead of that of the United States.

Poor Output By This Congress

By RALPH ROBEY

No one knows exactly when the present Congress will adjourn. July 8 is a frequently mentioned date, and it will about that time in order for the members to get to their national political conventions. This does not leave much room for enacting badly needed legislation, and this presumably was one of the reasons for President Eisenhower sending a special message a few days ago urging those items which he believes are essential to the national welfare.

It is, of course, common practice for a President to send messages spelling out the desirability of particular pieces of legislation, but it is highly unusual for him to transmit recommendations covering the same range of issues that were advised in his State of the Union and Budget Messages and his Economic Report, One should hasten to add, however, that it also is highly unusual for a Congress to come to this late date in its final session with so little accomplished.

Reasons for Poor Record*

This poor record of output by this Congress has been primarily the result of the endless debate on civil rights, plus the desire of the Democratic majority to create campaign Issues by passing bills which, in many instances, it knows are contrary to the wishes of the Administration and hence probably be vetoed by the President.

In his message, or lecture, to the Congress the President used fairly strong language in taking the Congress to task for its devotion to politics rather than the well-being of the people. The reaction of the majority leaders wa.s as might be expected. Speaker Rayburn of the House said it sounds to me like the Republican platform. and Senator Johnsons answer was that the Congress if proceeding in good order to transact the public business.

The nearest thing to a new suggestion in the Presidents message was the broad outlines of the Administration program

for the care of our older citizens. This is the hottest political Issue on Capitol Hill. It started with the Porand bill which would provide extensive medical aid to those under the Social Security system. Next came a compromise plan by Wilbur Mills, chairman of the House Ways and,Means Committee. Then a group of liberal Republican Senators offered their plan. And it has been known for some weeks that the Adminisb*ation also would offer a program, grant* ing it could get agreement within its own ranks.

That agreement within the Administration has now been reached and the plan has been presented by Secretary Flemming of Health, Education and Welfare. It is still too early to judge what the final result will be, but it can safely be predicted that we shall have legislation in this field before the Congess adjourns. Whether what Is passed will be signed by the President is another matter, and will depend upon just how the program Is set up.

An Important Reference

Not new, but extraordinarily important, was the Presidents reference to Labor Secretary Mitchells recent statement that minimum wages can be increased moderately without disrupting the economy. A moderate Increase would be from the present $1.00 to $1.10 or $1.15. Granted this would be better than lifting the minimum by 25 cents an hour, which Is what labor union officials have been urging, it still remains true that raising the minimum by 10 or 15 cents an hour will disrupt the economy at many places. But with the Administration supporting an increase, it must be assumed that we shall have legislation to that effect by this Congres.s.

None of the other recommendations is of any particular significance from a legislative viewpoint. All in all, therefore, while it was a well worded message, it probably de.serves to be called a political lecture.

Both parties are going to have more than considerable difficulty selecting a Vice President. Among the Democrats, those who do not favor Senator John Kennedy for President would prefer a Johnson-Kennedy or a Symington-Kennedy ticket depending upon whichever candidate for President is preferred. Mayor Robert F. Wagner of New York and Governor Pat Brown of California are candidates for Vice President in the event that Kennedy is not nominated.

The situation regarding the Vice Presidency in the Democratic Party is fluid and no particular person is favored, ^at happens will depend upon who is nominated for the Presidency; what part of the country he comes from; whether he is a conservative or a liberal and other considerations.

In the Republican Party, there are those who favor Nelson Rockefeller for Vice President on the assumption that he has a sufficient following to be important. There are some Re

publicans who believe that a Nixon-Rockefeller ticket could win. On the other hand, there are Republicans who feel that Rockefeller Is not a Republican, that he cannot really be associated with either party, but operates entirely on his own. They have observed ^ him as Governor of New York State and are not over-enthusiastic.

The conservative Republicans want Senator Barry Goldwater to be chosen as Vice President and will put up a siff fight for him. His following is growing because he Is a man of sincerity, But it Is generally held that Goldwater will not be nominated. First of all. he comes from a small state: secondly, he Is a Westerner like Nixon; thirdly, he Is too far on the Right for Nixon who cannot altogether cut loose from the Eisenhower Administration of which he has been a part.

It would seem that the one man in the Republican Party who fits the cut for Vice President in 1960 is Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge. Coming from a leading New England family, he is a resident of New

Other Editors Saying... Advertising Sells

(Wilson Times)

North Carolina is getting another national boost in the ad McGraw-Hill publications is publishing in Business Week, Advertising Age and other business and professional publications.

The ad is a full page, magazine size, in brilliant color. It is a picture of Governor Hodges in the center of a large construction project. He lo<^s very natural, in the setting of business activity, with the white carnation in his lapel.

The Governor has won and earned for the state recognition, the nation over, because of the industrial growth that has marked his administration. We are delighted to say that the Governor recognizes the power and results of advertising. The heading on the ad says Advertising helped us sell North Carolina successfully. And it has, for this state has spent its money wisely. It has advertised in the national newspapers and many advantages to be found here, both as a delightful place in which to live and the opportunities to be found here.

The caption under the picture is w'orth repeating for it has been proven to be true. The Governor says, In my long business experience I have found that if you believe in your product, it is easy to sell it. I certainly believe in the future of North Carolina. He does and he lives by his

beliefs. He has made them come true, and to the everlasting benefit of the people of the state.

The people are reaping the rewards of his efforts now. But future generations will be the real benefactors. The progressive and forward looking program he has spearheaded Is proof of what he says in the page ad; We have a remarkable story to tell in history, resources. people and economic potential and I am convinced that our state advertising program has played a vital part in the excellent 'results we have already achieved in industrial development and growth.

There are some who will say that Governor Hodges is giving the McGraw-Hill publications a terrific plug. And he Is. But better still he Is getting for North Carolina advertising that would cost large sums of money. This Is another example of the two way street. North Carolina benefits and so does the McGraw-Hill publications.

North Carolina has something to advertise. The Governor points out. And since our industrial growth(^ during this period has broken all records, we expect advertising to remain an essential tool in our future.

And what the Governor Is doing for the state on a national basis, advertising will do for you on a local and regional basis.

No one ever runs for the Vice Presidency. Many who are candidates for the Presidency hope that they will be able to settle for second place. The Democratic contest is more lively and exciting than the Republican and therefore there are more prospects for the Vice Presidency.^ In the Republican Party, one of the major difficulties is that few men are willing to give up governorships or seats in the Senate for banging the gavel in the Senate with a comparatively yojmg Piesi-dent wh6,. according "to the averages, is likely to outlive two terms.

On the other hand, several members of President Elsenhower's Cabinet are of Vice Presidential proportions. Fred Seaton, Secretary of the Interior. and James Mitchell, Secretary of Labor, have often been mentioned in this connection. Both are prospects and possibilities. although Mitchell seemed to be in disfavor with Nixon on occasion. Seaton comes from Nebraska, Is a newspaper. owner and very personable.

York. As Nixon comes from California, Lodge fits the requirement for an Easterner for Vice President. He had had a long legislative experience, having served in the Massachusetts General Clourt, as the state legislature there is called. He has served in the United States Senate. He has been a newspaper reporter and has a good niililgkry record.

But his principal service to the country has been as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations and on the Security Council where he proved himself to be an excellent debater and diplomat, giving the Russians a hard time when necessary. He has withstood the attacks on the United States courageously and without compromise. His understanding of Russian techniques is better than most.

BABSON PARK, Mass. ~ The days of rugged individualism have passed. Henry Fwd was noted for it. He always wanted to go alone, across lots and on foot, He had little use for committees or associations. For many years he #ould not join the National Automobile Manufacturers Association; .^he and others were In a poettkm to go it alone, becauap tlieY'^llld some original ideas and^ vease patient enough to wcn-k thm.

1 BELIEVE IN C:OPtERATION

The story of adVandi civiliza tkm, however, is a record of mans willingness to eo-<x>erate. The Trade Association Directory, prepared by the . S. Department of Commerce, shows that there are 3,000 regional and

7.000 local associations of businessmen. With these are affiliated 12,000 trade associations,

5.000 local Chambers of Commerce, and 30,000 busin^utmen's lunctnran clubs. It seems as If everyone is a joiner, and many join several tmslness groups. Yet even the above figures do not cover the many purely social, church, labor, and farm fraternal groups. As for employees' organizations, there are 200 national and about 8,000 local unions.

There has been much fun poked at the Organization Man, meaning a lower-cchelon executive in big Inisiness cor-lorations. But practically every man and many women are members of organized voluntary groups. In our free U.S., these members retain a very large degree of Independence; and, excel^ in cartels and some labor unions, indiviuals are not coerced or regimented or herded. On the whole, ours is a nation of free individualsthough not as free as were our piwieer fathers.

SMALL BUSINESSMEN

Freedom to organize is one of our basic American freedoms. Special and new interests keep arising in our wwld of rapid change; one new bristling area is that of Small Business, which since 1938 has been self-organized solely and specifically to protect the legitimate interests of independent small and medium-sized business people. The largest of these Small Business Organizations is the National Federation of Independent Business. with headquarters at Burlingame. California, G. Wilson Harder. President, This Federa

The Lodge family was brought up on the experience of governing. Henry Cabot Lodges grandfather had a long and distinguished career in the United States Senate. His brother, John, was Governor of Connecticut and is now our Ambassador to Spain.

An excellent campaigner and a good mixer, Henry CTabot Lodge could be a valuable addition to Nixons campaign.

Apart from Barry (Toldwater and Henry Cabot liOdge, no names are seriously mentioned for the Vice Presidency on the Republican side. There has been some talk of Senator Kenneth Keating of New York, who Is a good speaker and humorist, but be is hardly known to the country.

to the Small Business Committees of the Senate and House. It is outstanding in its co-operation with all Senators and Rep resentatives and in keeping them informed of grassroots opinion OR all legislation affecting small business. It has a highly respected and competent Vice President in Washington giving full time to matters of legislative activity.

There was established by Congress in 1953 the Small Business Administration and a subsidiary, the Small Business Investment Admnistratiw. This latter has made total short-temr loans of $856,403,000 to upwards of 20.000 individual Independent small business firms, in addition it has advanced long-term equi- * ty capital of $3,785,000 during the past year. It is now admin istertng over 19,000 business and disaster loans, including loan$ transferred from the former F. F.C. Sixty per cent of these loans were made in participation with banks. The cumulative losses through 1959 from SBA l(Mms have been only 1.1 per cent, a remarkable showing. I am convinced that the little people have financial responsibility and character.

ARE WE OVER-ORGANIZED?

Is organization cramping the style of individuals and reducing their initiative? Are too many of us becoming learners* instead of lifters**? I believe that as Icmg as organizations are voluntary, they will wither away when they lose their usefulness. Individuals can make their Influence felt within homogeneous groups of their choosing, dealing with problems about which they have direct knowledge.

For some yearswith my associate Earnest Gaunt of Oreando, FlwidaI have watched these small businessmen and women. At least once each year I like to publicly testify to their integrity, industry, and importance. They art tht hope of America.

Strength For Today Cut In Cuban Sugar Quota Likely

By EARL L. DOUGLASS GOD'S ARMS OF WELCOME The prophet Amos is a great figure in Biblical history. He was a shepherd and a dresser of sycamore trees. By this latter employment he eked out a bit more of a living than he could hope to get as a herdsman.

Yet this humble man went up into the Northern Kingdom of Lsrael and at the shrine at Beth-el, the kings sanctuary and the royal house, he denounced the vain w'orship of people in high station. He looked upon the tyranny of the powerful and called it theft and murder. He looked upon the emptine.ss of mens worship in the temple and the weak and corrupt lives of those who pretended to be Gods minister.^. You are an abomination in the sight of the Lord, he cned. I hate, I de

spise your feats, and I will take no delight in your solemn assemblies. . .Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.. But let justice roll down as waters, and rlghteous-nes^as a mighty stream (5:21-24.

There is nothing on earth so yain as vain worshipand nothing so blasphemous. When men speak evil out of one side of their mouths and attempt to praise God out of the other side, God Is angry with fierce and fearful anger.

Gods arms are held out in welcome to sinnersbut to sinners who want to be something else. No man can serve two masters' We cannot at one and the same time love good and evil, righteousness and the Satanic spirit of wickedness.

A cut in Cubas sugar quota is almost a certainty.

Congress is alinost sure to rewrite sugar legislation to set a lower quota pr to pass on to the Pre.sident the ver to set new quotas. The ! r step is more likely.

The quota system guaiantees sugar-producing nations sales of certain amounts of sugar above the world price. This constitutes a subsidy to sugar-producing nations. We pay them a third more than their sugar Is worth in the hope that they will spend receipts for American pro-'ducts.

The crackdown of Cubas Premier Pid^'^T^astro on American industries brought demands from those hurt for a cut in sugar quotas. The Administration, however, has been loath to act. It had hopes that

matters could be worked out. RISING TENSIONS

Then came the curious flight of Francis G. Powers into Russia, and the sharpening of international tensions. Congressmen are growing firmqr in demands that America be tougher against the Communist world.

A cut in the Cuban .quota would be triply effective. It 'would rock Castros power; it would be a blow against Communism that could not be challenged; and it would force the Communist nations to pick up the pieces.

They would have to buy large quantities of Cuban sugar whether they wanted it or not, and indications are that tljey want little of it.

If we reduced our purchase price for sugar, depression would threaten the island. Russia would be faced with the choice of

letting the world see a Commuh-ist depression, or of buying more sugar than it can use. Neither the Administration nor the Congress will overlook the propaganda and power-politics possible in this situation.

OTHER LOOK-AHEADS

Here are other likely futures in business;

High gas tax; Rising costs of highway construction is pushing the Federal highway program farther out the plank; its only hope of rescue is an increase in the Federal gas tax.

More foreign cars: The compact cars have not sMothU*ed imports of foreign autos; in some instances 1966 sales top those of 1959, Imporiers say they are still more economical and more stylish than American compacts.
