TOWNS ~ There are 415 In-conxn^ted towns and cities in North Carolina, more than in any other atate in the union. That is what Robert Barbour, chief of the division of community planning, told the Board of Conservation and Development at its faU meeting in Hickory. Of these places 210 have over 1,000 population, but only seven have over 50.000. Most of , the population growth m the past Ciccade occurred in these 210 towns. The increase m them was 29 per cent, whereas in the rest of the stale the rate was only 1 per cent.

The planning division is work-Ing with 34 communities, and a dozen others have asked for av sistance. These statistics led to prediction that this agency will become increasingly popular. It is our hope that no preset can ever be marked completed. said Barbour, because planning is a continuing need as long as there is potential growth.

The cost of the operation is shared by communities and the Federal government putting up most of the money, the state a smaller part. An area branch office at Salisbury, and one under way at Kinston, are not costing the state anything for operation. The Mt. Airy-North Wilkes-boro area is seeking a branch cffice.

This program is cited as an excellent example of the effectiveness of Federal, SUte and local co-operation,

I. E. C. The CiiD folks were given another example of how joint effort accomplishes more than could possibly be achieved by one level of government alone. The board took lime out to join in dedication exercises for the new Catawba Industrial Education Center. This is the 12th unit to be opened of the 18 autborixed under the 1957 legislative act for the State.

The buildidg was erected by Catawba county at a cost of 1400.000, practically all of it from ABC store profits and without additional taxes. Equipment was obtained out of state appropriations and Federal loan of turplus property. In the planning for the institution and its operation the cost is dLstributed among the state, and administrative school units of Catawba county, Conovei'-Newton and Hickory',

Commenting on the source of the county funds, one man said *MVs our building, but our neigh-hor.s paid for it.^ He explained that Cataw'ba is surrounded by

legally dry counties, which furnish a large part of the ABC store patronageand profits.

Attending the dedication lunch-con, which was held at Catawba coi^try club, in addition to the Ckd party were members of the Stale board of education, a pozen or more leglslator.s from the area and representatives of the State department of public instruction. The principal address was by Dallas Herring, education board chairman, who cited this type of school as a significant development in the educational program which had been growing ever since the days of Charles Aycock, Governor Hodges predicted that the idea will prove so valuable that many more schools of this kind will be established.

BIGGER In his address at the C&D, banquet, Governor Hodges compared activities and budgets of 1953*55, the first biennium of his term, and 1959-61, the last period. The total went up from $5,933.760 to $8,724.939. Biggest increase was in the forestry division, ft Jump of more than ft million and a half dollars. Next biggest was in advertising, nearly half a million. The commerce and industry division went up a little more than $200,-000. (However, a substantial part cf the advertising increase was for Industrial development.) State parks also had more than $200,000 jump.

DIVIDENDS Governor Hodges said that to him these figures do not mean just an in-crea.se in expenditures, but a fignificant increase in services to the people of North Carolina.

Dallas Herring emphasized the same idea In his talk. The hundreds of millions spent on education is not an expense, but an investment. Nothing is more expensive than ignorance, he said.

Bill Austin,* Jefferson lawyer and C&D board member, in a private conversation added testimony to this investment idea. Ten years ago, he said, Ashe county did not have any industrial payroll. Now it has more than $6.0(X).000 a yeai, due to cooperative efforts on part of local and state agencies and individuals.'

Many managers of new' plants located in North Carolina during the past decade have testified to original lack of technically trained employeesa lack that is being reversed by such institutions as the community colleges and industrial education centers.

The fixing of quiz programs on TV is serious enough in itself, but the matter of committing perjury before grand juries strikes at much more basic things in our system of justice.

All adverrtalng copy m<isi be received at least one day before pumicatHM) (Bale.

By James Marlow WASHINGTON <APi The statements of Henry Cabot Lodge, No. 2 man on the Republican presidential ticket, are getting him personal attention over and beyond the usual require-menu.

For instance: what he has had to say about a Negro in the Cabinet and about the legality of the U2 spy-plane case. He was back on the Cabinet-Negro theme again Tuesday.

On Oct. 12 in Harlem he said there should be a Negro in the Cabinet and added it is part of our program if Vice President Richard M. Nixon wins the presidency and it is offered as a pledge.

This was hardly the kind of remark which w'ould exhilarate white Southerners at a time when Nixon was extremely anxious to induce a large chunk of the Democratic South to vote Republican.

The next day Nixon toned down his running mates statement by saying he would choose a Cabinet based on ability and no< on race or creed. And Lodge, speaking that next day in the South, said Cabinet jobs should go to capable people, regardless of race.

He said picking a Cabinet was something for the president to handle but that he himself would favor a Negro in the Cabinet. Sen. John P. Kennedy, the Democratic presidential candidate, said Lodge was talking racism ii. reverse.

Last Sunday Nixon and Lodge met in Connecticut but the New York Times said they failed to eliminate entirely their policy differences over appointment of a Negro to the Cabinet.

Lodge said the article in the Times had been a work of imagination.

Tuesday Lodge returned to the subject and predicted that a Negro would be appointed to the

Water

Cabinet If Nixon wins.

He made this statement in Albany, N.Y., just as Nixon was in the Deep South, at Miami, making a campaign speech! Nixon said when asked about Lodges latest statement: I

have made no commitments... if elected, I will appoint the best man.

Lodge got into an argument with Kennedy Oct. 8 about a stetement made by Lodge in a TV interview Sept. 18.

Lodge was asked: Relative to the Soviet Union, do you think we have as much prestige and af much influence in the world as we had eight year.s ago?

The transcript of the program quoted Lodge as saying in reply: Let me just point to the ? case. Now you might say that if there was a case where we didn't have the law on our side, it was the U2 case.

The U2 plane was forced down over Russia last May.

Kennedy remembered that Lodge TV interview of Sept 18. And in his Oct. 7 TV debate with Nixon, Kennedy quoted Lodge as conceding that this country did nol have the law on its side in sending the plane over the Soviet Union.

Bui Lodge said Kennedy completely misstated my position on the U2 case. He first said it was a questioner on the TV show who suggested the United States did not have the law on its side, and that he w'as merely repeat-liiP the words of the questioner.

Kennedy, contending he had Quoted Lodge accurately, produced the question and answer from the transcript.

Lodge said the you referred to his interrogator when he said now you might say that if ever there was a case where w'e didn't have the law on our side it was the U2 case,

He contended he never had expressed a personal opinion on the legality of the U2 flights.

Immediately after Halloween 1959, the writer prepared some

to

Halloween 1960.

The notes were placed in a dea!: drawer, almost one year ago, and today they floated to the top ready for action.

With a year of ripenmg, these thoughts on Halloween must be pretty deep stuff; because ordinarily my tongue and typewriter work on a sort of extemporaneous^ basis.

Obviously its impractical and impossible and improbable that a meeting of parents be called to lay down some ground rules for Trick-or-Treaters.

It is likewise far-fetched to look around for a Trick-or-Treat czar to write a rule book. But here are some suggestions prepared when experiences of that one-night-of-the-year were in vivid memory:

(1) Homes prepared to extend a welcome to the little people should have their front lights or carport lights turned on; that way, children can avoid the grouches.

(2) Age of the trick-or-treaters

should be limited by mutual agreement to twelve years or under; accompanied by one adult: maybe offspring of two or three families can travel in a pack.

(3t Tie up the family dog.

(4) Working hours should run between sundown and 8:30 p m. (Even so, it means late hours for some of the tots.)

(5) For safetys sake, a flashlight should be in the crowd.

(6) For goodness sake, dont both parents go out to escort their smallfry; leave someone at home to meet other guests.

little can go a long way. Last year the young canvassers col--lecied something over $^.

And while were on the Halloween bit. its as well to remember therell be another crowd of visitors on the street that night. That would be the young people asking pennies, nickles and dimes for United Nations Children Fund. %

Its to their credit that these younsters are not asking anything for themselves, but for the hungry, the sick, the forgotten children in other lands.

They arent asking much because through UNICEF a very

Strength For Today

(Waukegan, III., News-Sun)

Now that the United States has

hung a few satellites in the sky, the hubbub over the shortcomings in our educational system seems to be petering out.

In case you are one of those who today are less concerned than you were when the Russians beat us to the punch with their Sputnik I, heres something to mull over.

The Taxpayers Assn. of New Mexico has reported the results of an extensive analysis made by a major steel company among 3.500 of its management personnel (supposedly well-educated people). The findings are shocking:

1. Eighty-seven per cent had no clear idea what kind of government the . S. Constitution sets up.

2. Seventy-five per cent could rot pick an outstanding Republican from among five men (four of whom were Democrats).

3. Seventy-nine per cent did not know that the Supreme Court Ls independent in our constituion-al s.vstem.

4. Sixty-six per cent had no idea what is meant by separation of powers.

5. Fifty-five per cent did not know how Federal laws are pa.csed.

8. Forty-seven per cent think Capitol Hill is the location of the White House.

7. Thirty-two per cent think Sam Rayburn is a Republican.

Need we go on? If youre not appalled by now then theres something drastically wrong with you too.

When Sputnik provoked such a hue and cry for more and better engineers, mathematicians, and scientists we applauded the eruption of concern. Certainly, a technological society needs plenty of well-trained technical people, At the same time, however, we were worried about an overemphasis of physical science to the neglect of the humanities and social studies.

The survey reported above vividly demonstrates how we need to improve our education for citizenship just as badly as we need to increase the production of competent scientists. Perhaps, right now the need for the former is greater than the need for th^- latter.

The National Civic Review commented on the steel company survey in its September issue. We think they state the problem brilliantly; How can we ever expect to win the war of ideologies if we fail to mass produce enlightened citizens?

As the 1960-1%! school year settles into its customary rut, this question deserves searching thought by educators and laymen alike.

CONCERNING PREACHING

A minister speaking recently before a group of fellow ministers had this piece of advice to offer: Either put more fire into your sermonsor vice versa.

We w'oader sometimes as we partake of tasteless food how some people ,can take the wonderful food we have today and lender it almost inedible. Likewise we should wonder eyery time we hear a dull sermon how' anybody could possibly be guilty of such an outrage. To be .sure, it lakes many hours of consecrated work to produce an effective .sermon, or an eetlive ad-dres.s of any kind. But the material Ls at hand if wc only have the srn.- to ut-e it. Just a* it li a crime of major proportions to take good food and spoil it by poor culinary procedure, so It is a sin befor# Ood to take its grtclou.s message of love end reilempfion and make out of it a dyll dirqupition on notli-ifignes-s. '

Pity poor preacher. He has to pWase all kinds of people, to on the alen ail Dm- time, to be up to dale and et to,

hold fast to eternal truths. There IS no group in the world who work harder than ministers and who frequently see so little result from their efforts. But there are results which the Mast High knows and which help them to put file into their sermons. And if' they cant do thi-s, then coun-.-el them to put their sermons into the fire.

Islanc-

Debate

By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY COPYRIGHT, 1960, KING FEATURES SYNDICATE, INC.

It is ludicrous that the most fiery debate in the present campaign should develop over th# islands of Matsu and Quemoy. Senator raised the is

sue as a passing remark; Vice President NUon grabbed at it. Senator Kennedys Irish rose and he grew obstinate, even accusing Vice President Nixon 01 being trigger happy. Vice^ President Nixon tried to establish that Senator Kennedy did not loiow what he was talking about.

May I make the observation that Senator Kennedy, If elected President, will not surrender Matsu and Quemoy but will be governed by the developments in our relations with Soviet Russia. May I also observe that if only Matsu and Quemoy stand in the way of a solution of all outstanding questions between Soviet Russia and the United Statsf, a way wl be found to han(|| that situation, iriiould Nixon be President.

In a word, this matter is being exaggerated out of all reality. But why? What Kennedy says is that we shall defend Formosa and the Pescadores but not Mat-80 and Quemoy. The reason he gives is that Formosa and the Pescadores are mentioned in our treaty; Matsu and Quemoy are not mentioned.

Nixon makes the point that if, at this time, we make a surrender of territory to Soviet Russia or to Red China, our entlie structure of defense w'ith allies and associates collapses. Kennedy complains that our prestige is low, the Vice President contends that if we surrender these islands our prestige, in the .world will dissipate itself to zero.

This is a condensation of the argument. As I am more familiar with this particular field of China and the relations of China to the United Stales than either Senator Kennedy or Vice President Nixon, having devoted all of my adult life to it, I can say that Nijcons v^wrs are correct.

If the Red Chinese get one inch of territory, they will fight for Formosa; they will imperil the Philippines and Japan and we shall find ourselves in a Far Eastern war beyond question, Matsu and Quemoy mean nothing; surrender means everything.

The Red Chinese had no prestige. no strength, no impudence until they defeated the United States in Korea. A(,,.that moment every nation In the east of Asia had to adjust its policy to meet the rising power of Red China, That countiY embarked on making the Chien Lung Line the western and southern boundary of China. This has meant the seizure of Tibet, the infiltration into Ladakh, an area of Kashmir, -the penetration into Nepal and peril to Assam and Sikkim. This means that Red China seeks to extend itself until it controls areas down into the Bay of Bengal India would be reduced to a fief of Red China and would have to fight for its existence.

Red China has extabllshed a hegemony over North Korea and North Vietnam and has weakened the remaining nations of what used to be French Indo-China. Also Burma and Malaya are in peril.

There are some who believe that Red China will extend itself northward as well, which would mean the establishment of B hegemony over Mongolia and over some areas of Russian Turkestan. Those who have this hope in mind anticipate a war between Soviet Russia and Red China prio^ to a war between-Red China and the United States. This is futUe speculation. Who can tell what the order of events will be?

But this anyone well experienced in Far Eastern affairs can say; Surrender an inch to Red China and the demand will be for everything. Chinese of all hinds are so accustomed to dealing with strong Westerners that when they meet a weak one, they kick him all over the place.

I witnessed that in 1926 and 1927 In the Yangtze Valley when the British were pushed out) of the Treaty Ports, but the Preach and Japanese took their tihie about it. The British thought that they could accomplish something constructive by a soft policy; they suffered an economic boycott.

'L,ittle More Than A Gesture

THE UNITED WAY

By ELMER ROESSNER

Cutting off United States poods to Cuba, excepting foods and medicines, is little more than a gesture.

Shipments of goods had swindled to a trickle by the fli'st of this month. Value was estimated at between 10 and 15 per cent of the flow a year ago.

The chief rea.son is that United States sellers demanded cash on the-.barrelhead,

American sellers were mindful of the grab policy of the Castro ic-gime. It seemed less than prudent to ship goods to Cuba if they risked nationalization when they arrived.

Furthermore, the foreign trajje restrictions Imposed by the Ca.stro Rovernmpnt made if ('ouhtful that the United States vendor could get hl^ mniv-y even If the goods Were no*

Castros controllers m refuse to permit th send money out of ' to pay for the gei.,.,.

CULTIVATING THE CUSTOMER

III addition, many U.S. industries have been deciimng tu sell to the Cuban government because such action may cause them to lose sales iA the United States. For example, machine tooling companies have been reluctant to sell replacement parts to Cuba for the oil refineries that Castro seized from American companies. Such a sale might result in an industrywide blacklist for the vendor.

Even compame* not in danger of being put on an industrial black list have been reluctant te sell because of the danger of being put in the position of trading with the enemy.

Tho.sc companies (hat were willing to sell, however, have Insisted on payments through Irrevocable letters of credit.

These operate this way: The ('uban buyer, usually the government iiself, deposits the purcha.se puce iu branches of Cauadian

banks in Cuba. The branches thereupon issue irrevocable letters of credit. These are for-w aided to banks in the area w'here the goods are ordered.

When the shipper gives the bank evidence that goods have been shipped, the bank pays the value of the letter of credit to the seller.

WHAT CUBA NEEDS

A German ship that left New York September 23 for Havana l'.sted these items in her cargo: 398 cases of trucks and parts; tires and tubes; tinplate, electrical equipment, chemicals, in* spctiCides, raw materials for plastics, roller bearings, seme sugar mill machinery, some petroleum products and some vlfa-niin.s.

Cuba is'Short of U.S. Dollars because we have cut off iturchases of sugar, because tourist spending is almost nil. ar^d becaue dollars w'ere shlp-

power.

Thus the things on the manifest above seem to be items that the island economy needs desperately. Most of the items appear to be materials to keep Cubas autos, trucks and factorl ies running. \

The one big thing the embaiM go can do is to cut off the ti-ickle of supplies for that pui-pose. The Red nations may well be able to fabricate parts to keep sugar mills, oU refineries and tutos running. But those parts will have to be made especially and costs wm therfore
