Hes Playing My Time

New Govmts Should Know By Now

Premier Khrushchev has provided headlines, ex- citcment and unprecedented outbursts during his participation in the United Nations General Assembly; but it is doubtful that he has done much to bolster the prestige of his nation in international affairs by his activities at the U.N.

- Certainly the Soviet leader has taken advantage of the propaganda fomm offered him by the U.N, session in New York. In his speeches he has lambasted the West collectively and as individual nations. He has taken to task President Eisenhower and other heads of Western governments and he has even lashed out at such respected U.N. leaders as Dag Hamarskjold and U.N. President Frederick H. Boland of Ireland.

It is not unlikely that Khrushchev may have strengthenedvjiis relationship with some of the members of the uncommitted bloc of the worlds nations. Neither is it unlikely, however, that Khrushchevs activities at the U.N. have caused many of the uncommitted nations to take a more careful look at the communist bloc and the man who is its chief spokesman.

Through the entire turbulent course of Khrushchevs participating in the current U.N. sesesion it has been obvious that the Soviet leader is interested only In having things in his way. Through the thin veil of appearing to want to ease world tension, the Soviet leader undoubtedly convinced many nations of the neutral bloc that the communists are only interested In moves which will further the achievement of their goal of world domination.

Khrushchevs first move in the General Assembly brought forth observations that he might have overplayed his hand by the bitter attack upon Hammar-kjold. As the Soviet leaders stay at the U.N. continued, It became clear that many of the neutral nations took exception to what he said and what he did. Certainly no participant could esecape the obvious attempt by the Soviet Union and its satellites to eitherState Fair Sees ^Diverse Interest

VTATE FAIR The Great llortb Carolina State Fair is in fan bkut thia week on the fijrawling fairgrouods Just west of Raleghs city limits. The optimistic billing aa the greatest fair in history may be true, because weather has been perfect nd attendance records have bei smashed.

Hie fair has three major objectives education, entertain-mrat and fellowship. Probably more people go for entertainment than for either of the other purposes. They were not disappointed. A couple hours spent by your reporter rambling around the grounds convinced him that there was educational value in most of the entertainmit features. Maybe that should be aiated another way: The educa-tumal exhibits had as much entertainment value as educational.

A surprisingly large part of the exhibition area was taken up with displays of State agencies devoted to educationseveral divisions of the Department of Public iBstmcUon, including school libraries and vocational tzalnlng; public health and san-Itatioa; material desi^ied to aid in ine^ratioo and processing of fbo^uf&; and heavy emphasis 1 emnmunity coopo'ation.

The Noih Carolina Press As-ociation and the Association of ^osdcasters had well devised exhibits emphasizing the importance of the peoples right to know about govermnent and business. Three ot* four booths were dedicated to family life, family religion, etc.

Then, of course, there was the usual di)lay of fruits, vegetables, culinary products and bandicraftsall in the educa-tloDsl field, but proving as entertaining as any of the honky took shows gbing on outside.

MACHINERY Almost as mocfa ^pace in the fairground rea was given over to display ef farm madilnery as was occupied by the riding devices, giriie-shows and the honky-tonk gimmick stands. One young man was demonstrating a gar-&ax tractor plow Job that wasnt s big as the man. Just a few Jeet away was a leviathan type Diesel machine with 12 little plows and six huge turn-plow uifbi attached. There were chain saws and irrigating pumps, all kinds of tobacco cur-ra, et cetera ad infinitum.

Inside the buildings the mech

anization trend was also noted. Hand work is out. Electric washing machines, mixing bowls, canning equipment and other mechanical gadgets leave LtUe work for hands except to push a button or flip a switch.

YOUTHIt was interesting to note that the most interested observers of the educational and health exhibits were elderly people. The youngsters were more interested in the machinery anl new ways of doing thtogs. There was a continuous warm of high school boys around that big 18-plow Diesel unit. Somewhat paradoxically, most erf the educational exhibits featured high school, FFA, 4-H Club and similarly sponsored booths.

The youthful atmosphere predominated in the cattle bams and other livestock exhibits. Ihere were commercial breeders who showed priete in their exbilrfts. but ttiere were many more high school boys who slept with their calves and pigs and lambs with both pride and affection. The evidence of pride was greater where blue ribbon showed, but there was no less affection for the non-winners.

POLITICS Visitors to the State fairgrounds didnt go there for political reasons. They went for education, entertainment and fellow;^p to learn siwnething new, to have a good time, and to mingle with friends whom they seldom see at other times and places. This represented subsconscious desire to escape from politics. There was some indication that many of the fair attendants resented the political intrusion erf a Republican cabinet member and a Democratic former President for political speeches.

Since the political element was injected. North Carolina officials accorded the visiting speakers every courtesy due their positions. Governor Hodges put the State No 1 car and driver at the service of the Republican cabinet member and the Democratic ex-president alike.

The fair management went all out to show ever possible con-sideratioiT*iti<i_ the distinguished visitors. The managers of the fair and the state oflicials were not responsible for the lack of enthusiasm manifested by the fairground audiences for the Republican speaker. Or for the greater response, but still less than expected, ior the Demo-o*atic ex-president.

render the U.N. ineffective in international affairs or to bring it under communist domination.

The course followed by Khrushchev during this historic U.N. session will not be quickly forgotten by the emerging nations who are taking their place for the first time in consideration of world problems. They have seen first hand Soviet tactics and they have been able to evaluate the obvious motives behind those tactics.

They probably will be much more cautious about embracing Soviet causes and getting caught under the Soviet boot than they otherwise w'ould have.

You Can't Vote Unless You Are Registered

The most intensive national political campaign in years is being waged now and it is certain to bring to the polls on November 8 a record number of voters.

Certainly among those w'ho already are greatly interested in the campaign and the 'forthcoming election are individuals who will not be eligible to vote unless they take time to get their names on the registration books.

For the next three Saturdays the voter registration books of Pitt County will be open at each of the 25 polling places of the county for the purpose of registering voters. Only those who are properly registered by the time the registration period nds October 29 will be eligible to cast their ballots in November.

In Pitt, as in other counties, there are many people who are nqt properly registered and therefore are not eligible to vote in the national election. These people who know they are not registered should make an effort to get to their precinct polling place on one of the next three Saturdays and register in order that they will be eligible to vote on November 8.

There are also in Pitt County some people who probably are not sure whether they are properly registered. Unless they personally check on their registration on one of the next three Saturdays, they might go to the polls on election day only to find they are not eligible to cast a ballot.

In this national election year it is important that as many people as possible vote for the candidates of their choice. The decisions made by the voters at the polls on November 8 will determine the course of this nation and this state for at least the next four years and perhaps longer. Every individual citizen not only has the privilege of registering in order to be eligible to vote; he likewise has the responsibility to do so.

Pitt County should record its largest vote in history on November 8. If that is to be done, however, it is important that each citizen makes sure beds registered and eligible to cast a ballot on election day.

3ackgrounds O:: Quemoy, Matsu

By DON SCHLIENZ

Tradition And Contract

By JAMES MARLOW

WASHINGTON (AP) The prefiidential candidates are blowing up a storm over what each would do about two smaU islands Quemoy and Matsu off the Red China coast.

Should they or shouldnt they be left out of the area which this cotintry would defend against the Red Chinese? Sen. John P. Kennedy says yesin order to avoid being dragged into a war over them. Vice President Richard M. Nixon says . nobut he didnt say hed go to war to defend them.

The islands became a campaign Issue last week in the Nixon-Kennedy TV debate. Those islands, close to the China mainland, are claimed by Chiang Kai-sheks Nationalist government on Formosa which is 110 miles from the mainland.

But the Red Chinese on the mainland claim them, too-Chiang keeps a lot of his troops cm them. The Reds have been

bombarding them for years. Sooner or later, as Red China gets stronger, it will probably try to take them by invasion.

This country, by treaty with Chiang. is bound to defend Formosa from Red Attack. It is not bound to defend Quemoy and Matsu. And President Eisenhower has always avoided saying this country would go to war to defend them.

But. on the other hand, he has never said this country wouldnt go to war to defend them. This apparently has been intended to keep the Red Chinese guessing on what" they could expect if the. did attack.

Whether or not the islands would be defended has always been tied to this question which has never been publicly or fully answered: Are they really necessary to the defense of Formosa Itself?

Kennedy said that as pre.sident

he would try to persuade Chiang to pull his forces back from the offshore islands. Why? Because, he said, he sees no serise in this countrys being dragged Into a war over two islands which are not strategically defensible.

But he said: He would not let the Red Chinese force the evacuation of the islands under the threat of force.

Nixon conceded the two islands are unimportant he even .said the few p?ople who live on them are not too important but he said he wouldnt let the Red Chinese have them. Why? He said it is a matter of principle.

Kennedy was actually echoing the views of some other Democrats in past years. Nixon was echoing Eisenhower, even to the extent of using some of the same words the President has used, in the past. .

Wednesday night Kennedy accused Nixon of being trigger-happy In insisting upon holding on to those unimportant. . . indefensible islands-

Wednesday night Nixon likened Kennedy willingness to g^ve

them up to the Western allies* concessions at Munich before World War n.

Heres a little background:

After the Red Chinese drove Chiang from the mainland in 1949 he fled to Formosa with his forces. This country had little interest in Chiang or Formosa at the time.

President Truman even announced this country would not attempt to defend Formosa ot Chiang from Red attack. And American military leaders didnt consider even Formosa essential to this countrys defenses in the Pacific.

This attitude changed when the Korean War started. Ever since, the United States has made defense of Formosa a prime policy. But Chiang claimed more than Just Formosa.

He claimed the Pescadores Islands, which are close to Formosa. plus a string of islands which, lying close to the mainland were more than 100 miles from Formosa. These included Quemoy and Matsu and 100 miles up the coast, the island of Ichiang and the Tachen Islands.

In 1955 the Reds captured Ichiang and this government per-sualed Chiang to abandon the Tachens because they were not essential to Formosas defense. At that time Eisenhower didnt mention any prlnclpfe being involved in letting the Reds have Ichiang and Tachens.

Later, however, he said the American people would stand by a "principle in not letting Que-mov and Matsu go. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles said they might be important in the defense of Formosa. He didnt, however, say they v^ere.

This country, meanwhile, signed a defense pact with Chiang, pledging to defend Dormosa and the Pescadores. There was no pledge to defend Quemoy and Matsu. But the door was left pledging to defend Pormo-sa and open 0^ thi.s by -saying this country would also defen i other territories it considered nte-cessary.

Dulles said he thought surren-c'erin.g the islands to Red China would not aid the cause of peace. Still, through the years the Elsenhower administration has avoided saying it would defend Quemoy and >afeu unless they wer(> consilered* necessary to Pojino.>a'.s protection.

Initiates to the game of chess are bedazzled on their introduction to the ancient game when they leam there are entire books devoted to recording games of past and present masters, play by play.

They are humbled by acquain tance with combinations of moves that art a part of chess tradition and bear the names of their originators.

The true chess addict rarely regards the game as a "game, but a science. Over the centuries chess has acquired a tremendous lore. A newer,' much more recent game, contract brilgeapparently is developing along those lines too.

Several years ago my parents, both contract bridge enthusiasts, encountered a hand which might be considered a part of the card games growing traditionalism. My father was so intrigued he copied the hand on a bit of paper and carried it with him in his wallet.

A couple of weeks ago a bridge-player displayed a hand that represented a test of playing skill. Mother thought it familiar. and on returning to her apartment, found it the same as

the one shown her and Dad when they were living in Virginia.

Those are the circumstances which prompted the premise that Contract is acquiring some of the traditionalism of chess.

Anyhow, Mother couldnt remember exactly how the puzzle was solved: but she did eventually work it out. *

Is there a bridge-player in the house?

This is the problem:

The bid is sevwi hearts. How do you make it?

Thia^is the hand:

North (the dummy) bolds no spades; the ten, nine, eight, seven and six of hearts; Uie ace and king of diamonds; the ace, ten, nine, eight, seven and six of clubs;

South bolds the ace, queen and three of spades; the ace. king, queen and Jack of hearts; the queen, jack, ten, nine, eight and seven of diamonds; no clubs;

West holds the king. Jack, ten, nine, eight and seven of spades; the five,'four three and two of hearts; no diamonds; the king, queen and Jack 6f clubs;

East has the remaining thirteen cards.

What You Can Tell From The Books In His Library

By HAL BOYLE

NEW YORK (AP)It is said you can tell a man by his library.

But this assumes he has read the books in his library. Often he hasnt.

A touer appraisal in most cases, probably, is that you can teU by a mans library what Jie aspires to beif he only had time.

Most mens libraries arent made up of the books they have read and treasured. They iure made up of the books they intend to read somedayorne day when there isnt something more pressing to do.

To be literate a man doesnt have to read a large number of books. He needs only to know a few choice books well, and to increase his understanding by rereading them.

Even three books can produce a well-Mocked mind. These books are the dictionary, the Bible, and a collection of Shakespeares works. No one who knows those three books well is less learned than he who has skimmed 10,000 other books.

A man's reading, taste is usually a^prisoner of his age. In youth he prefers romantic fiction, but as he grows older he likes to read factual material because life has taught him there is nothing more romantic than the truth, or more

novel.

The trouble with a library Is that if you have a really good book it somehow gets away from you. You either lend it deliberately or someone borrows it by his own choice, but in either case it rarely comes back home. It travels from hand to hand and mind to mind until it is worn out.

Every mans library s an index C his postponed reading pleasures.

Those row after row of dust-catching books arent there Just to aw the neighbors. He really means to get around to reading them some time when he has more leisure than he has now.

Everyone has his own favorite unread book. I have two in my library.

One is called How to Raise a Dog in the Suburbs. Since I live in a city apartment where only cats and mute parakeets are allowed as pets, I ravent got around to reading this important book. But I still keep it handy for an emergency.

My other favorite unread book is entitled "How to Retire Before 40.

It Is already 10 years too late for me to fin anything except an antiquarian interest in this volume.

Whats the favorite unread book in your library?

The opening lead (by West) is the king of clubs.

To non-players the preceding means little or notbmg. To players, the opportunity of bidding and playing a grand slam (taking all the tricks) does not come often. The foregoing hand can be played out so as to make the bid of seven hearts, but Im told that some have tried it and were baffled.

Let no one assume the writer could work It out- Opportunities for Jousting at the card table have been too rare these past few years, and to be a real sharpie youve got to stay with it. Last week I was asked to fill In for a delayed member of a bridge club. Those thirty minutes were rough going.

Ah well. Cest la guerre.

For Today Strength

By EARL L. DOUGLASS HOPE FOR THE HUMAN RACE

We attended a 50th wedding anniversary recently. Two old friends of ours stood in the church before their two minister sons and renewed their vowa. Caroline was wearing the wedding dress she had worn fifty years before. Andrew appeared fifty years before as he repeated the words of the service and kissed the bride.

The newspaper bffen seems to indicate that marriage has faUed pretty completely in modern life. This, of course, is not true. The divorcesand especially the ones seasoned ^ with spicy detailsmake the headlines. Terrible as it is to realize that one quarter as many people make their way every year to the divorce court as to the altar, nevertheless marriage is far from registering a failure. We see this in the hundreds of happy-faced men and woman who go by us day by day. We see It especially in persons like Caroline and Andrew whose fifty years of Christian usefulness, whose love for each oth^, and whose four fine sons bear witness to the divine character of marriage.

Because of world affairs I had experienced unusual depression the day of Caroline and Andrews anniversary, and I remarked to my wife as I entered the church, There is no hope for the human race. But after I had seen and heard Caroline and Andrew, I said, *T want to amend my former statement. There is hope for the human race.Really Not A !!)ebate

Those who 1SM to keep soore will attempt to decide who won the second <tobate between Richard Nlxcm and Jcrfm Kenr iie^. Tlils is difficult to do because it was not a debate. Nearly every subject discussed was left hanging in the air. Not one subject was completed. It could not be otherwise in view of the format employed. Here le ttie pattom:

1. A newspapennan asked a

Question:

2. A candidate replied;

S. His oi9<torat answered the candidate, during which he made certain allegations;

4. Anoth^ newspaperman asked a totally different question, cutting short the discnssion In hand as though a sentence ended with a semi-colon Instead of a period. For instance, when Kennedy, in polite language, said that Nixon was not tolling the truth or vice versa, there shouki have been a full statement by both men as to the facts and circumstances. Instead both were cut Miort. I shall 'give an example. Senator Kennedy in the course of his direct statement said:

. . J dont believe that the government contiacts division has operated with vigor. Everyone who does business with the government should have tl opportunity to make sint that they do not practice discrimination in their hiring and tiiat is in all sectcms of the United States.

This was sp<Aen Incidentally to a rather confused questi<m. Mr. Nbcon took umbrage. He answered:

Now, the Senator referred to the Committee on GovemmenI Contracts and yet that very committee, of which I am chairman. has been handicappd by the fact that they had not the adequate funds, we have not bad adequate powers, we havl not had adequate staff.

Now, in the special session of Ckmgress and also in the session that preceded it, the Democratic Congress, in which tiiere is a two-to-one Deomcratic majority, was asked by the President to give us the funds and give us the power to do a job and they did nothing at aB. . . In effect, Nixtms reply aays that Kennedy is not telling the truth; yet by the rules <rf tius debate, Kennedy was precluded from answering Nixon or oi correcting hii statement. This happened to Nixon, too. At one point. Senator Kennedy said;

Wen. Mr. Nixon has stated the rec(rd inaccurately in regard to the dressed area bill. I am very familiar with It. It came out of the committee of which I was the chairman, the Labor mibcommlttee in 19S5>. I was the floor manager. . .* Senator Kennedys entire statement on this matin* was designed to Rabliirii that Vice President Nixon was not tiling the truth and that he Imew that he was not*teUing the truth- But NixMi had no opportunity to reply. The next voice after Km-nedy was that of a newspaperman asking a totally diffn*ent question. The matter was toft hanging in the air.

This is not debating. It Is a format that cannot be described. Time aftCT time, as I listened to this dlacussi(m. I wished that one <h* the other of the debaters would deal with some one subject fully. The geirfus of the Lincoln-Douglas debates was that they had no newspapermen to ask questions. It must be said, however, the second lot of Nlxcm - K^medy questions were more sensible than the first lot whkrfi aeemed to me to be extraordinarily stimid.

Senator Konedy, lor instance. makes a fuss over the fact that we art using our steel capacitir only 55 per cent. What coes he -expect? Daring World War n. we expanded our steel capadti^ to nmet the requirements of all the allied countries, including Soviet Russia. During the post-war years, we used our steel capacity for domestic purposes and to rehablUtats not only our allies but the ctofeated nations. Having provided them with mormoua eums for r^a-bilitation. they no Icmger need our steel but art exporting their steel, in competition with curs, at lower prices. Tbey are exporting even to this country. Would either eandidate be willing to say;

Critical Era For U. S. Industry

By ELMER ROESSNER

Regardless of who is elected President, the next four years perhaps the next tenwill be crhicaf for American industry.

Foreign competition, already grea . will intensify. Foreign picducts, priced low. will pour into this country in greater volume until step.s are taken to check them. Foreign - made goods Will compete with American productii in every market ii. the world

Tiiese are the factors:

1. Iron -Curtain production Is Increasli and the ojUjty of the good LS inifjiu. The Communist nation.^ are nungry for gold and foreign currency. However, they are even more hungry for prestige and influence. We are likely to see many Ins ances* in which the Red Bloc offers products below ouror itS;cost of p.roduction, to embatra.s.s m, to gain markets and to win a Jiltle hard

money even though they lose some of their soft cun*ency. IFIENDLY COMPETITORS

2 Our own allies, bless them, are even worse competitors. Their capitalism Is incentive; their labor is free. We have helped theni get on their feet and now they are runningin efforts to ouidistance us. German-made cars at the' moment seem to be gaining on U.S. autos in Latin Americaand now German cars are being made in Brazil. Our market there- may we say?Is compacted.

Thats only one incident, Around the globe our friends Western European and Eastern Oriental nations are turning out products that compete with the products of all 50 states.

We are struck with that situation. Any time we attempt to upset, for example, an effort by Japan to -sell washing machines Chile, we antagonize both Japan and Cha.

3. Foreign rivalry is intensifying competition amwig American manufacturers, especially between those who have established plants abroad and those who havent.

For example, several American typewriter manufacturers have established plants abroad. With these plants, they can sell typewriters in foreign markets at prices far below those for typewriters made in the United States.

TAXES AND LABOR

These three factors are mag-nii'd by United States taxes anr United States labor costs.

'Ine tax burden on American Industry is the highest In the free world, certainly after wink-ed-at evasions are taken Into account.

The corporate profit tax is around .50 per cent, much high-ei than in mo.*it Western nations. And where It is officially higher, full taxes are rarely col-iectod.

Taxss abroad ara ofton tower because tbs Unitod ates (you, buddy) pays tha coat of defensa, Geraiaiiy to an outstanding axampto. Forbidden to build up a miUtary fores. West Germany levies tow taxes.

One quarter of Amsrlean oor* poration profits go into dsfsoa-es. West Germany induatry, an* der no such burden, aan invast much more income into aiq>an-lon.

Labor diffraotials BCkiy ba v^ worse. AsDavid D. Dawson. Du Pont Tics prasldsQt, pointed out in a recei^ addraas:

The American manufacturing worker is paid an average of $2.30 an hour, with an additional 40 oenta in benefits. . .The Italian skilled worker draws 90 cents an hour, tlM West Germany 80 cents an hour (for a 45-hour week), the Japanese 56 cents, the French, about 90 cents.

What can be done about this situation will bs dtocus&ed here tomorrow.
