A No By Adlai Isnt Convincing

All you Madly-for-Adlai clubbers can still dream; your man hasnt said positively no yet.

His position this week is unchanged from that of the week before, or the months before that. He isnt ' . \ion because he is not seeking the nomination. It is a matter of definition.

However, for a non-candidate he does an awful lot of political speechmaking; he is not shy about his views on any topic; he gets around the country as well or better than most avowed Democratic Party candidates.

So we cling to the conviction that if ever there was a man poking antennae into the wild blue yonderhoping for lightning to strike a third time

Popular Publisher Is emoved From Scene

The death of W. C. (Bill) Manning of Williams-ton takes from newspaper circles ot North Carolina one of its most popular publishers.

Publisher of the Williamston Enterprise, the Robersonville Herald and the Roanoke Beacon of Plymouth, Manning devoted his life to the betterment of the Martin and Washington County area. He was a former president of the Eastern North Carolina Press Association and a director of the North Carolina Press Association.

There are few newspaper men in North Carolina that had a greater number of close friends than Bill Manning, and few whose lifetime of work on nondaily newspapers has been marked with greater progress in serving an area. His influence will be missed not only in the areas served by the newspapers of which he was publisher, but throughout the news paper circles of the state.A Difference In Extra Service

By LYNN NlSBET

EXTRA Fred Lowder is a veteran bus driver tor Queen City, now assined to the Ashe-villc-Salisbury section ot the express schedule between Memphis and Raleigh. He gives passengers on his bus a little extra service, which they appreciate-Just before starting on the trip from the terminal be announces the destination of the bus, the main points of exchange, and approximate time for arrival at the other end- As he moves along the route he points out places of particular interest to passengers unfamiliar with the areamountain peaks and rivers, big industrial plants and hospitals and colleges about which they have heard or read but not seen before.

This kind of information is routine with official guides for organized tours, and to some extent with airline hostesses. It is unusual on a regular bus trip- It is the kind of extra service that makes the difference between a pleasant and a bore-some trip in many instances, and is what North Carolina needs more of to encourage more travel in the state.

tory- Certainly, he said, there must be revision in highway construction to eliminate the taking out of cultivation of hundreds and thousands of areas of crop producing lands.

As we rode a few miles further we saw big tracts of land with no crops, not even pasture grass, or trees growing on it. He admitted that his fears of tillable land giving out might be premature; bit still insisted that future use of that land .could be made much easier than concrete paving or graves could be removed to grow food-

CRAIG George Craig, long time representative of Buncombe county in the General Assembly, and widely popular among his colleagues through many sessions, is in a hospital at Asheville suffering from effects of a stroke last week. His speech is impaired and his left side almost immobilized, but otherwise the reports of his condition arc favorable-

NON-PRODCTIVE A fellow passenger on an intercity bus the other day pointed to a new commercial cemetery along the roadside. It was about a mfie from one of these big cloverleaf interchanges on the Interstate highway system. The graveyard site perhaps included some 15 to 20 acres in the current development, undoubtedly more In the background. The cloverleaf business was aald to embrace approximately 40 acres of good farming land-The median strip between the dual lanes of the highway for many miles varied in width from eight or ten to as much as 100 feet. All told there were an undetermined number of acres of land taken out of productivity for food and fiber iirops.

The seat mate was concerned about this waste, and suggested that before many years some curbs would have to be placed on such useor non - use of fertile land- He shuddered at the idea, but said It might have to be faced, that the time will come when cremation or requirement for multi-storied burying vaults will be manda-

the former Illinois governor is that man.

Logically, if he wishes to be nominated, the present policy of disclaimers is probably the only way he can swing it. As a two-time loser it would be most difficult to make an out-and-out campaign .for the nomination as a probable winner. He must count on being looked upon as the logical choice for a compromise draft.

In the telegraphed denial as to his candidacy,

Stevenson leaves a hole through which a bandwagon can be driven, in saying I have declined repeatedly to comment on questions about a draft. I think I have made it clear in my public life, however, that I will serve my country and my party whenever called upon.*

The man cant make a simple denial without his statement being suspect.

It isnt entirely his fault; people who devote their time to interpreting Washingtons doubletalk find room for their talents in surveying candidates and possible candidates.

Somehow, Stevenson is always amongst them.

Grifton Has A New Club

3oth Republicans Have A Problem

STATE REVENUEThe National Federation of Tax Ad-minifitrators report that State revenue from sales, motor fuel, tobacco and alcoholic beverages taxes jumped sharply 1st year, after a business recession slowdown in 1958. The rise in State excise tax collections reflects the increase in consumer spending, which is almost a synonym for the cost of living.

General sales tax collections in the 34 States which have this type of levy were up 14.8 percent over 1958, for a total of nearly four billion dollars. Motor fuel taxes, collected in every one of the 50 states, were up 9 5 percent for a total of more than three and a quarter billion dollars.

Forty-six states imposed taxes on cigarettes 15 of which taxed other tobacco products) for a total of more than $830 million.

While there is some - diversion everywhere, the motor fuel taxes in most states are legally dedicated to highway construction and maintenance. North Carolina was one of the first states to adopt the intangible, non-property tax levies, as primary source of State revenue. Others are following that pattern to greater degree each year.

By JAMES MARLOW

WASHINGTON (AP) Vice President Richard M. Nixon and New Yorks Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller each has one strike against him and one major problem.

Nixons strike: He seems sure of the Republican presidential nomination but there has Seen a Democratic tide in the past three elections, even though President Eisenhower won overwhelmingly in 1956.

Rockefellers strike; He wants the nomination but seems stopped cold. The Republican pros back Nixon, as they showed again by rallying around him when Rockefeller attacked him last week.

Nixons problem; How to keep the conservative Republicans behind him and still attract enough Independents and switch-over Democrats and Republicans to win.

Rockefellers problem: How,

if he is denied the nomination, to persuade the Republican convention to adopt a campaign platform with his fairly liberal views and his ideas on the needs of the times.

Three times in a rowin the 1954-56-58 elections the voters rejected the Republicans as a party by giving the Democrats control of Congress.

That they did this while reelecting Eisenhower in 1956 showed the big distrinction they made between the highly popular President and his fellow Republicans. ^

The Democratic candidate will stake out the liberal road for himself, more or less. It remains to be seen just how liberal the Democratic party or

its candidate will be, since liberal is a loosely used Word.

Nixon cant make too many liberal sounds without antagonizing the con servative Republicans. He couldnt win without theni, but li couldnt win by appealing only to them either. #By his own figuring voters are divided into 40 per cent staunch Republicans, 45 per cent staunch Democrats, with the remaining 15 per cent made up of independents and Democrats and Re-publicans, who switch around.

So he will have to keep his 40 per cent and try to cut into that nebulous 15 per cent. How he is going to do it is his main task since he has nowhere near the personal popularity of Elisen-hower, who cut across party lines.

Nixon has described himself as a positive, progressive conservative as constrasted with negative conservatism. This could mean anything and will need some explaining.

His basic appeal, even before his campaign gets under way, seems to be this: Do the voters want a conservative administration for another four years?

Nixon says he will run on the Eisenhower administration record he couldnt do much else, since he has been part and parcel of itwith some ideas of his own.

Rockefellers criticism of both Nixon and the administration have probably greatly diminished any chance Rockefeller had of being an influence on the Republican pros when they fashion their party platform next month.

They dont like people who upset applecarts and thats what he was doing with his criticism.

Jack Morgan and several members of the Greenville Civl-tan Club traveled to Grifton last night to install a new chapter of Civitan International there.

With several district officials on hand to Install officers and induct members, the prt^ram was a good one extra good for a hot night.

Things went along smoothly until the time for the Sanford-Lake TV debate began to draw near. People began glancing frequently at their watches hoping the program would hurry. It was over just in Ume.

North Carolina District Governor W. Glenn Kenneriy presented the charter to the new Grifton Civitans.

But before he presented the official document, he had some choice remarks. In addition to explaining the purpose, etc., of Civitan, Kenneriy told the group the secret of the success of his marriage.

He said he and his wife, at the outset, had sought some method of dividing the decision-making authOTity around the house.

After mudti consideration, he

said, they decided the madame would be responsible for making all the minor and relatively unimportant decisions.

In turn, Kenneriy said, he would make the vital and important decisions.

I must be the luckiest man alive, he declared, because, up to now, nothing important has ever happened to me.

Sounds Uke a good plan.

C^timist Little League Coach Pete Carraway was enjoying his dinner at the weekly gathering, chatting merrily with those around.

The Optimist squad, under Petes tutoring, had compiled a record of six victories without a loss when the ro<^ caved in last Friday and the Optimist lads succumbed 17-2.

Naturally, it is expected that a game will be lost now and then. Its all in the same, but Pete would rather not talk about such a lopsided score.

At past meetings, the coach had been called upon to report on the progress of our Little

Other Editors Saying.. The Law Doesnt Provide

(Rocky Mount Telegram)

Occasionally we are reminded of the inadequacies in our laws and constitutions in providing for the removal and replacement of chief executivesboth in state and federal government. One such reminder was the ill health suffered by President Eisenhower in his early years in the White House. Another such reminder was the highly questionable activities of the former Louisiana activities of the former Louisiana govwuor, Earl Long, who spent some time in an institution.

The Commission on Reorganization of State Government says it will suggest to the North Carolina Legislature in 1961 that it put several proposed changes to a vote of the people. Under the suggestion the Legislature could declare the governor of the state mentally or physically incapable of performing his duties under a proposed change in the state consituUon.

There is no provision In the present constitution for temporarily replacing a governor who becomes Incapacitated. This same shortcoming exists in the U.S. Constitution, which'Simply does not spell out in detail the methods to be used in such an event. As things stand now It would be extremely difficult to

remove a chief executive from the White House except by. his own consent.

Under the proposal the Legislature of North Carolina would be able by a two-thirds vote of its membership to temporarily replace a governor with the lieutenant governor. A governor could also remove himself from state duties by filing a written statement with the secretary of state, declaring himself physically incapable. He could put himself back in by filing a statement saving he is well again. This latter should of course, be filed under advice of a physician.

Once the Legislature has displaced a governor, after giving him a chance to be heard, it could reinstate him by a majority vote of its members. The proposed constitutional changes also give the council of state the power to call the legislature into session. This power would be necessary in case the governor was replaced or was declared incompetent.

Such a provision as that offered here probably would never be needed. It certainly would do no harm to have the measure available, however. It could help to avoid friction, controversy and confusion at some date in the future.

League entry.

Last night Pete vowed he was due at a Church League softball game hnraedialely after dinner. As he rose to make his exit, some of the boys around the head table wanted to hear the weekly report.

To their questions Pete replied simply; We lost Friday."

What was the score?

Strength For Today

By EARb L. DOUGLASS HEROISM AT THE RUSH HOUR A few months ago a woman rushing for a subway train slipped and fell, and her leg became wedged between the edge of the platform and the car, A hero appeared at that moment, not on a white charger or with any of the dramatic accompaniments of a great rescuer, but in the form of a sensible middle-aged chap who knew what to do in a Ume of crisis and how to get people to cooperate.

As if he had thought it all out in advance, he held open the door so the U^in would not start and told half the people to sUy in the car and throw all their weight on the side opposite that on which the woman was pinned. He then used as many people as could get their hands on the side of the car to shove it away from the platform. They were able to move it only a fracUon of an inch, but this was enough to free the woman.

Here were 50 to 100 pebplc almost entirely unacquainted with one another who got together heroically in a time of crisis. Here was a prosaic individual who used keen observation and the sense God gave him to perform a rescue worthy of a decoration. Poetry stalks our streets, heroism rubs elbows with us every day. greatness abides in little people.i ruman Shoulc.

President Harry Truman, in an off-the-cuff interview, took the posiUon that he abhors gpylng and would have nothing to do with it. It said that be had an airplane that could go to enormous he^hts and Uiat he had consulted Secretary of State Dean Acheson and that between them they agreed not to use the highflying plane for spying. The former President said nothing about having a camera to take the kind of pictures a modem camera can take from a high-fiyisg plane or from a satellite.

President Trumans memory must be hazy on this subject because he was President when the CIA was organized and the CIA exists lor the purpose of spying (gathering intelligence), evaluating the Intelligence, correlating it. It also engages in counter-espionage. So secret are the operations of the CIA that its total budget is hidden even from the eyes of C^ongress.

The United States has. of course, always had inteUtgence-gathering agencies. The State Department received reports from ambassadors, ministers and c(Hi8ul8. The Army had its G-2 which watched all countries, particularly objective enemies. Navy Intelligence was always regarded as a very able arm of the Government. We did not go in for the type of espionage that Czarlst Russia had in the Okhrana or that the British produced In various branches of government until World War H when General Wild BIH Donovan created the OfilS.

The OSS was the first attempt In the United States to estaWksh a professional espionage c<xi. General Donovan started from scratch, recruiting various personalities to do work for which none of them were particularly trained. Some of them seemed to be suitable: others were

worthless for this work and had to be weeded out. Some were Communists and were uj^oub-tedly Russian plants. Nevertheless, General Donovan worked on his own, took little advice from other agencies, particue larly from the FBI which he ignored altogether.

When the war was over, the OSS continued to function but was falling apart. In 1947, when Harry Truman was President, the CIA was established by Act of Congress to take the place of the OSS and Admiral Roscoe HUlenkoetter. a txilliant naval officer, was appointed to head it.

HiUcnkoetter did Uie organization work but returned to the Navy and General Walter Bedell Smith tqok over. xiith was replaced by Allen DuUee, tnother of John Poster Dulles, a lawyer and experienced in intelligence work, parUcuarly in Germany. Allen Dulles is presently the Director of the CIA.

There had to be a division of functions between the CIA and the-FBI which also was engaged in overseas intelligence. It was eventually worked out that the FBI is in charge of investigations in the United States while the CIA is in charge outside of the United States. There must be areas where their programs overlap but there have been no overt conflicts between the two agencies.

President Truman therefore cannot say that he disapproves of spying because it was in his Administration that our most important spying organization was established by an Act of Congress which he signed. The year, to repeat, was 1947.

In this ccMmection, it must be noted that the record will show that the U-2 Nvhich the Russians brought down was operated neither by the Air Force nor the CIA. It was operated by a private company for which the pilot, Francis Gary Powers, worked. It is not unusual for espionage (wganl-zations to contract with outside firms to do particular jobs. In fact, there are some such groups that rent themselves out for hire and some are dcmble-agents working for both sides. They are pail by both sides and serve a special purpose. Usually such contracting groups are abandoned when they become problems.

A real professional might commit suicide if caught, but he will surely destroy all documents. When he neither destroys documents nor himsell, his conduct -becomes beclouded by suspicion* (Continued on page 5)

The American Institute of Mens and Boys Wear has a good point. While prices of almost everything else have shot up since the end of World War II, male apparel prices have remained almost unseemingly constant.

Take food, for comparison. In the April, I960, Consumer Price Index of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, food is up to 119.3. In other words, it costs 19.5 per cent more to cat today than the average of 1947, 1948 and 1949.

In housing its costing even more than it did 11 to 13 years ago31,4 per cent more for home purchases and maintenance and 41.4 per cent more.

Getting around is much more expensive, Private transportation is up 34.4 per cent while public transportation, everything from a subway ride to air ti-avel, has risen 99.4 per cent.

Keeping healthy j costs 55.5

per cent, personal care 32.9 per cent, and reading and recreation 21.1 per cent more.

All in all. it coats 26.2 per cent more to live today than it did 'during the average index years of 1947-49.

Compared with this, the cost of a mao keeping himself dressed has gone up only 9.5 per cent. Today a man can dress himself like a real fashion leader with just the difference in cost between the family car today and a dozen years ago, said Louis C. Pfeifle, president of the mens and boys wear Institute.

A man purchasing a good basic medium-priced wardrobe two suits, two sports jackets, two pairs of slackst a topcoat, a raincoat, a car coat, four dress shirts and four sports shirts, six neckties, a sweater, four sets of underwear, six pairs of socks, two pairs of shoes and a pair of slippers, two pairs of pajamas and a robe, two hats, a pair of gloves.

a scarf, a dozen handkerchiefs, and two belts and miscellaneous jewelry and accessorieswould have plunked down about $455 in the average mens shop during 1947-49.

This fall he will be able to get such a dress-right wardrobe without going above $500, saifl Mr. Pfeifle.

If anything, he noted, the additional $45 gives even greater value than indicated by a comparison to todays other values.

"Contrary to opinions that male fashions never change, he asserts, "the last decade has seen a vast difference in styling. aVreblrth of color, and a virtual revolution in fabric and garment technology.

"Comparing the styles to be shown this fall to those of the postwar period, no one can fail to note the streamlining Hhat has taken place, the terrific variety and the extremely imaginative use of new and exciting colors.

"But there are many im

provements not quite as visible to the untrained eye. such as greater comfort, built-in neatness and easier care, which have resulted from technological advances In the use of fibers and fabrics, with practically no advance in the price you pay.
