Evory Effort To Intimidate U. S.

The violent demonstration near Tokyo against If the Presidents plans to visit Japan are altered

James Hagerty. President Eisenhowers press secre- at the last minute, more than likely it will be because tary is bound to cause another Washington evaluation the Japanese government decides it cannot give the of the proposed trip by the President to Japan next President the protection he needs, and withdraws the week. invitation.

Obviously, the demonstration against Hagerty was ' another attempt by extreme leftist groups to intimidate the present Japanese government as well as the President of the United States in the hope of causing a change in the Presidents plans.

There can be no question that the President will be placing himself in a position of some danger by going ahead with his trip to Japan. There is, however, considerable speculation that when the President arrives in Japan he will not be confronted with as violent demonstrations as those so far staged by the leftists groups in seeking to prevent the visit. He will be the guest of the government and a guest of the Emperor and he will be accorded much greater police protection than that given Hagerty. It is also possible that the flame of violence which has been displayed in previous demonstrations will not bum so brightly when President Eisenhower arrives.

It is important that the President of the United States not take unnecessary personal risks because of the important position he holds in this nation and among the nations of the free world.

On the other hand, it is important that the government of Japan be kept in power. It is important that the prestige of the United States and the free world not be shattered by communist-inspired attempts to prevent the President from visiting a free world nation to which he has been invited.

A Beginning For ;Road Overlooks

By LYNN NISBET OVERLOOKSThe campaign (?) to have the National Parka Service provide elevated ramps or overlooks along the Halteras Seashore road bearing some Irult. Information is that one or two such overlooks have been built lust south of the Pea Island Game Fefuge area, and others are planned. These places are a great help, but do not quite meet the need, because they require driving some distance from the regular highway. The Idea for overlook stops on coastal roads is spreading. A group of easterners is working on petitions to the highway commissiOD to afford drive-outs to the water edge to make more accessible small boat launching points and fishing areas, along many of the state roads which parallel the coast.

LINGOEvery trade and profession has a l^guage peculiar to itself. Some of the most picturesque expressions were developed in the old days of sailing ships, steam railroading, and" hand composition print shop.

A chok^e example comes from J.M. White, head man in the North Carolina Railroad Association. and sometimes called *Mr. Railroad. Jim has been railroading nearly all his life and can talk the lingo of the roundhouse as fluently as the language of bankers and legislators.

Pew modem railroaders would understand this; The jam buster gave a green eye, and the .rattlers hogger rapped the sack as he headed up the tangent .on a ball of fire.

Translated into English that means: The assistant yard

^master gave an all-clear signal, and the freight trains engineer opened the throttle as he headed up the straight track on a fast run.

BAD WORDS? Every old time print shop had a boy whose job was to do the dirty work, and he was called the devil. There was a box under the table into which was thrown te-oken up type, rules, etc., and known as the hell box. The print shop lingo was expressive in other ways.

On a visit to the shop one day the president of the missionary society heard the editor yell to the foreman; Tell the devil to cut the head off the bishop, throw it in the hell box. and put on a new head. The good woman fled in panic. And her little boy was never

able to understand why he was not allowed to play with the editors son. All the editor was doing was getting a better headline on the story about the bish(H>8 sermon.

There are fascinating stories about devices used by news telegrai^ers in the old days when all messages had to be tapped out in dots and dashes of the Morse code. And oldtimer recalls one message that caused consternation in the newspaper office until it was translated. The message read: Brutus

killed Carnegie. As it speared in the printed news story: The Supreme Court of the United States today ruled adversely on the petition of Andrew Carnegie for reorganization of his steel company.

Peculiar lingo survives in conversations about many topics, but nearly the only place it can be found in print is on the sports pages. The sports writers are a hardy breed and despite efforts of the purists they till have southpaws jrielding Uiree - baggers and boxers kayoed by left hooks. And, of course, there remains the gobble-de-gook of governmental bureaucracy and diplomacy, which is intended to confuse rather than to enlighten.

CODE Then there is the story, if memory serves aright it is an O. Henry piece, about the newspaper correspondent caught in a Central American revolution. Censorship was clamped on news and he could not get his dispatches to his paper.* So he faked going crazy, became so violent he had to be Jailed. He demanded, upon

threat of mayhem to his

guards, the use of a typewriter

and the right to send out a message.

He wrote up a garbled account about the lid blowing off the pot. money bags skipping off with the Dig shots skirt and all the boodle, and slammed the gate behind him. The censors let the message go out, since it was obviously the ravings of a crazy man.

One of the correspondents pals In the home office decoded the message and made it read something like this: The secretary of the treasury absconded with the presidents wife and most of the government cash. All communication channels with the rest of the world have been closed.

Result was that correspondents paper had the only story about what caused the revolution.

Api etite Is Whetted By The River Traffic

A tug boat and a barge on the Tar River in Pitt County this week whetted our appetite to see cargo moving on the river again as it did in years past.

The tug and its empty barge were headed for Tar-boro where the barge would be used in a construction project. There was no cargo. There would be no subsequent trips. It was just a stray that somehow found its way into the stream that many years ago was an artery of transportation for Pitt County and points farther inland.

Such craft as the tug and the barge are rare indeed on the Tar these days. But it was npt always so. In the hey-day of the river boat, the Tar had its share that carried passengers and freight to points all along the river. In more recent yearsuntil World War II came along^the Pitt-Greenville Port Terminal was a point of call for frequent inland waterway freighters.

Since then, the only boats on the river have been those of fishermen and boat enthusiasts. As a transportation artery, the Tar is no longer important. Efforts to restore cargo traffic on the river have failed time and again. Sand bars and snags have gradually crept nto the old channel at places, and the Tar has become a latent artery, waiting to be re-opened to take its place in the growing economy of the area.

For Pitt Coiinty the river affords a valuable natural resource, and it still has its potential as a transportation artery if only the right combination can be hit upon to bring about its development.

The tug boat and the barge brought memories of times that were, and provided a lift to the dying hopes that someday perhaps, the river will be useci again for transportation.

iiy precise

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) Twice In a row, with no one in sight likely to take the Republican nomination away from him. Vice President Richarl M. Nixon got jabbed with a red-hot needle. Both times he stayed quiet 24 hours.

Both times this happened to be just long enough to let the Republican leaders in Congress rush to his defense against the need-lers as they did before he did any talking.

The first time it was Harold Stassen who jabbed him, just when Nixon seemed to have the Republican vice presidential nomination sewed up in 1956. Now its New Yorks Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, just when Nixon seems to have the presidential nomination cinched, although Rockefeller woull like to get it.

Rockefeller said it was about time Nixon started saying precisely where he stands on the big Issues. Nixon replied that he not only has talked on them but has been more precise than Rockefeller.

The fact is: Neither has been completely precise at all. Few seekers of political office ever are.

It was only July 23. just a few weeks before the 1956 Republican convention, that Stassen started his dump-Nixon campaign, arguing Nixon would lose the party votes. Stassen suggested Christian A. Herter of Massachusetts for the vice presidential nomination.

Republicans in Congress, with visions of Stassen splitting the party, rallied around Nixon. Herter didnt have a chance. In fact, he said he not only didnt want the nomination but would nominate Nixon himself.

Nixon came out of silence then. He didnt waste any time on Stassen. He just praised Herter. But he reacted far more energetically to Rockefeller.

Rockefeller, who got out of the Republican presidential race last December and jumped back in May, fired his blast at Nixon on Wednesday. The Republicans in Congress closed ranks around* Nixon.

Then Nixon went to New Jersey Thursday and at a news conference said he had talked on the issues and had been more precise than Rockefeller. He challenged the governor to a discussion in depth, perhaps before television cameras. Rockefeller said Nixon doesnt need me to interrogate him on television. What follows is a run-down on

ihree

Study

By PATRICIA MOORE

Dismay In The Evenings

the positions Rockefeller took on the issues in bis Wednesday attack against Nixon and the vice presidents statements in the past on those same problems.

National Defense: Rockefeller says defense is not good enough, suggests spending billion dollars more right away. Nixon says defenses are just fine but this country must spend whatever it costs to retain its strength.

Foreign Policy: Rockefeller

did not say much more than that do something about it. Nixon doesnt condede any losses but he hasnt been any more specific than Rockefeller in this field.

Arms Control: everybody seems to be foi* this, including Rockefeller and Nixon.

National Economy; Rockefeller calls for tax changes to encourage investments. Nixon said Thursday he has urged tax revisions, too, and then some.

Farm Problems: Rockefeller is doing something about them. Nixon says he is, too, but he has indicated before he wouldnt have a new farm program of his own until after he gets the presidential nomination.

Labor: Rockefellev- is for com-puisory arbitration, if necessary, to end big, damaging strikes. Nixon is against compulsory control. But how hed cope with such a problem isnt clear at all.

Civil Rights: Rockefeller says he is all for racial equality but vague on how to achieve it. Nixon Is for protecting civil rights but hasnt gone beyond the Eisenhower program, only part of which got accepted this year by Congress.

Federal Aid to Elucation: Rockefeller is for federal aid for school construction and for scholarships. Nixon is for federal aid to school construction.

Medical Help for the' Aged: Rockefeller is for a medical program paid for through Social Security taxes. Nixon is against this way of pay the cost, but is supporting a federal-state sharing of part of the cost of voluntary health insurance.

Both men have a long way to go before they spell out in complete detail Just where they stand Ml the Issues. Nixon, for instance, has said he will stand on the Eisenhower administrations record but he will build on It.

He also says he differs with the administration on some major policies but wont spell them out until after he is nominated.

It was Monday night and all through the house everyone was scampering around like a mouse.

The dishes were dried and put in their place and the television station we were ready to face.

So we turned on the set and what did we get an hour of boredom instead of good cheer. But at nine oclock out came the suntime for our favorite, one Peter Gunn.

And thats when the boom fell.

It was not Peter Gunn, nor a facsimile, but a political candidate tor the governorship. So we missed Peter Gunn. The next night it was another, and so on through the week.

Its gotten so that now, when one man supports one candidate and a friend supports another, the Lake man is mad at the Sanford man because Lake came on television when the Sanford man wanted to watch a program. And the Sanford man gets mad when Lake comes on television. It is a hot campaign, to say the least.

But watching these admirable

characters on television results in several things. You can hear the candidate Ulk. You can

watch his expression. You can tell when he is tired. You

can tell when he flounders In

mid-4q>eech. He may have habits you don't like.

In other words, shallow as It might sound, the viewer be

comes more pereonally acquainted with the candidate.

Continuing on the subject of television, we heard a story the ottier day about two television stations, both carrying football games. Naturally, the games were different.

The viewers watched station <me for someme, finally notic-that the sound wasnt following the game.

Our informers switched sta-ti(Mi8 to catch part of the other game and noticed they were seeing different games but hearing the same one.

This situatlMi continued for about 30 minutes.

Suddenly, static number one switched off its sound and came

back later with the right sound for the right picture.

Well, eye for eye, nose for nose, we always say.

Socialinl&on of an Industry inevital^y produces far worse problems than any it was designed to solve. Camden (B.C.) Chronicle.

Other Editors Saying... No Anonymity

This country will be moving toward real political maturity when men seeking office are judged on a broad plane, rather than by the narrow gauge of service to limited Interes. Waltham (Mass.) News - Tribune.

(Greensboro Daily News)

As might have been expected, more anonymous leaflets, aimed at influencing the Governors race In the June 25 Democratic primary runoff, have bobbed up. They are being investigated by the SBI. whose director, Walter Anderson, has appealed to Tar Heel citizens to turn over to his office any such campaign materials which they may receive.

Frankly the SBI downt know whether the leaflets, which it already has are Illegal or not, but it is studying them and will depend upon the attorney generals office for rulings as to Illegality.

There is plenty of room for full and free discussion of the issues as the two candidates and their supporters see them without getting into vituperation, racial bitterness and animo^ty or ^mear attacks which smack o what we had hoped was a thoroughly discredited McCarthy-ism.

The Daily News receives

numerous anonymous communications. They are never published, as someone, assuming that these communications are not libelous, must first of all assume responsibility; they must be

signed, with name and address

duly established. With us anonymous communications find a ready wastebasket. A person who docs not have the courage to sign what he or she writes, isnt a person to wwry about.

There is a difference, however, when such communications, derogatory to any candidate, are circulated in political campaigns. North Carolina wisely has a statute which makes such circulation illegal. Emphasis that such a law is on the books and that the SBI is prepared to look into every anonymous circular or pamphlet should prove a strong deterrent, for those who do not have a sense of decency but do fear the law. It will be difficult to trace down such illegal material, but there is always the possibility that some offender wiU be spotted and feel the full effect of the law.

Choosing a Governor in North Carolina is earnest, serious business. It should be done in fairness and reason by people who, regardless of the victor, are going to have to live and labor together. In the whole process of reasoning together, vituperation and venom, always to be deplored, cannot be allowed under the the cloak of anonymlx.y The right to face ones accuser is as fundamental as any single component of democracy.

Proposed changes In U. 8. income taxes would cut some and increase others. The only OTie certain not to lose is Uncle Sam. Richmond (Ky) Register.

The mood of the country at the moment is such that, never mind what the Issue, no politician would be wise in recommending a cooling-off period. Columbia (S.C.) State.

SyMUeate* le.

Three Beeiet scwexneii. WH> liam Randolph Hewat, Jr., Fntplc Comxlff and Bob Coosi-done, have written a book on their experienoes with Khrushchev. Tbe Hearst team spent considerable time with him twice; on the first visit Joseph Kingsbury ^Knith went along. It was an experiment In joumal-ism, sending a team instead of an individual. It was also an experiment in intoviewlnc. Khrushchev was ai^iareotly so sox-ious to win American good will that he gave these men sB the time they needed and spoke freely. It now appears in a book. Ask fe Anytliinf.

Not one of the team was an expert on Russian affairs, M>oke Russian or had any partimilar relationship to the Conmnmist movement. Their work, therefore, represents an <^jecUvity not too usual la reporting on these subjects. That they came out so well is not as surprising as It may aeem. for ttieaa man are competent reporters. Also, they are *not acctuttomsd to stuffy vrriting.* P^haps the Hearst strie ot journalism is not the ideal the pandits of the eehodia ot journalism, but what aM>esrs in piim aaa be rmui with understanding. And so it Is with this book. Taks tiese paragraphs:

Khrushchev's first pwge la credited with being a direct cause of the suicide In November. 1932, of Nadyeshda Alfluy-eva. Stalin's wife. She took her life in protest agahiM what her husband, fiirough Khmshebev, wss doing to cdd associates. Her death helped Khrushchevs career. II permitted Stalin to legalize his long relatiooship with Rose Kagsnovk^ sister of Khrushchevs patron. As Ka> ganivich rose, Khnisbehev iras pulled along. Be began la be invHed to the partas of tbe hierarchy, even to the informal fetes wtfich tbe new Mrs. Stalin gave at their dacha outaide Moscow. A Preneh govcmeaa of the Stalin children wrote later:

Anumg ofiier regular guesta was a Ukrainian, aaore-tary of a committee at Moaeow. He danced well, aosnetimes alone, sometimes wrlth fals hostess. He wss a good sincer and also liked telling anecdotes which made even Stalin laugh. On one occasion, too. be brougM with him his Uttia boy who played with BasiL the son of Stalin.' "

This is the sort of peraontl relationship that makes history. As Westbrook Pegler put a, If you want to know what a man thinks, look at the other head on tbe pillow.

We read of new names and sMne of them Isive no trails in our historic memwy. Por instance, who Is Mrs. Fintseva. the only woman oo the Presidium? How did tu emarg so swiftly and reach such a high place in government? The anthers say:

Furtseva fiiat met the dy-nunic little man from the Ukraine in 1937, when she was studying chemistry at Moecows Lomooosov Institute. She is said to have become, not long after, the protegee of Nkdal Bulganin vrben he was party boss of the Moscow distriet. Bulganin appointed her propaganda chief in his branch.

During World War n, te quickly rose to become Secretary of the raion, or 'dLrtrict.' She also managed to get a part-time j(^ in clutrge of po^tieal agitation in the armed servioes, which permitted her to eon-tinue her association vrith Nik-ta Khrushchev.

Further tbe authors say; Furtseva wss born In IflO, and Is better k>oking and dresses better than tiie average feminine Communist. Her husband. Bladimir Firyubin, has oocupied several top diplomatic posts, among them Ambassador to Yugoslavia. He returned to Moscow in 1959 and became Vice-Minister of F^uwlgn Affairs. dealing moetty with the Inter-Red-bloc matters.

Furtseva also deals vrith Soviet relations in the satellite nations, and has done public-relations work among the Communists in WestWTi Europe. A few years ago she visited France for the Bastille Day celebration in company with her Presidium colleague, Mikhail Pervukhin. She displayed her independence by abandoning the sour-faced (Continued on pege six)

Beware: Child Employment Laws

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS REQUIREMENTS OF SAVIOURHOOD

He emptied himself (Philip-pians 2:7).

This was written of Jesus. In that vast realm beyond, which we designate by the name heaven, *the Son of God had enjoyed kingly privileges far exceeding anything the human mind could Imagine. Then for the sake of bruised and sqfiering humanity, this Divine Being permitted himself to become incarnate and to live the life of a common man on the earth. He suffered an ignominious death. God raised him in splendor, and the Son then returned to exercise the majestic powers which had been his from the beginning.

It is always the course of saviourhood that the .saviour must empty himself. The man who sets out to help save his

country in the grim hocr of battle has to empty himself. He may be only one of a vast arfy and his rank may be nothing at all. But great responsibility rests upon him. Likewise, the parent who serves children with complete devotion empties hhnself or herself. That friend empties himself who in the hour of crisis puts all thought of self aside that he may of service to one who trusts him and relies upon him.

Jesus was the Saviour of the world. You and I in our way are little saviours. Originally we were created in the linage of God. As Christian believers we come to partake of the image of Jesus Christ. Our lives, if we are faithful, are fashioned after his likeness.

He emptied hiniself Thus did He meet the requirement of Saviourhood.

By ELMER ROESSNER There are both benefits and dangers in hiring young people as vacation replacements.

The big benefit can be the discovery of good, employable talent, for immediate work or after graduation. Other benefits may lie in the fact that apprentice pay, even in closely organized shops, is relatively low; and in the ideas and enthusiasm brought in by young, fresh minds.

The dangers Ue in Inadvertent violation of either Federal or State child labor laws.

Child labor provisions of the Federal law apply to all employees engaged in Interstate commerce or in the production of goods for interstate commerce. There has been a tendency of courts to broaden the definition of interstate commerce. To be safe, employers should check with the nearest office of the U.S. Department of Labor a.-s to their status Federal law prohibits the em

ployment of children under 14 for work other than agricultural, outside of school hours; theatrical; newspaper delivery, or for a parent.

Children between 14 and 16 may work in office and sales jobs between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. when school is not in session, but not for more than eight hours in a day or 40 hours in a week. Those between 16 and 18 may hold factory jobs if they are not hazardous, again check with the nearest U.S. Department of Labor office.

Violators of the Federal Wage-Hour law are liable ot a fine up to $10,000 and, for second offenses, up to six months in jail. Goods illegally worked on by minors may be banned from interstate commerce.

The Walsh-Healy Act provides that firms with government contracts totaling more than $10,-000 must not employ boys under 17 and girls under 19, except in office and custodial work. Violators are subject to a fine of $10

a day per child illegally employed and possible loss of government work for thre years. STATE LAWS VARY

State laws usually regulate employers not covered by Federal laws, although some states apply their laws to all businesses. State laws are often more strict than Federal.

These laws vary considerably as to minimum working ages and hours of employment. Hazardous occupations are generally barred to ^ose under 18; night work is generally prohibited. Agricultural and-domestic work, or working for parents. Is generally exempt.

Under the laws of 19 states, Prentice - Halls Information points out, if an illegally employed minor is injured while working, the injured minor is usually entitled to double the ordinary award and the employer, not his insurer, usually must pay it.

There are two paramount precautions:

1. Insist that every prospective employee not obviously In his or her twenties submit an age certificate. Most states require minors to submit such certificates. Enforce the rule;

No certificate, no job.

2. Learn exactly how botli Federal and State child labor laws affect your business.

Federal and State agencies art usually helpful. Company law- * yers can usually fumiah advice.

In organized plants, union of-ficials WiU frequently be able to supply current data.
