An I Said Wi

An Enigma To Much Of The World

^The American poiiticai system ^hich is diffic\xit ^ even for many Americans to understand at times, must appear an enigma to many people in other parts of the globe who have followed the recent presidential election in the United States.

During the campaign these overseas viewers read of heated blasts by Presideent-elect Kennedy at President Eisenhower and the program of his administration on both the domestic and international fronts. They read of Vice President Nixons blistering attacks on Kennedy for his immaturity, snap decisions, lack of experience in government affairs.

lYom afar it probably appeared that the Democrats and Republicans were in a pitched battle for control of the United States, and indeed they were. But it was a battle unlike those in many nations of the world, for here it was a battle of words, not guns, a battle for mens votes, not for their enlistment in a cause that would subject others to their domination.

The winners would control the government, to be sure, but only for a specified length of time. The losers would lose their jobs, perhaps, but not their heads.

To compound the confused overseas impressionA Roll Call Of ;M. C. Industry

By LYNN NISBET

ROLL CALLThe November iMue 0 the magazine We. the People, official publication of the North Carolina Citizen.s Association, presents a roll call of North Carolina Industry.

The color cover pages carry the trademark insignia of 140 industrial companies having manufacturing plants in North Carolina, which the magazine calls Symbols of Progres.s Many of these plants are owned by out of state interests, but some are local and all have taken a place in the business family of North Carolina.

There are special stories about 30 industries which manufacture the unusual, or have distinctive Tarheel flavor. It is noted that this state, long recognized for leadership in furniture, textile and tobacco manufacturing. Is moving now into prominence in the area of electronics, metal working, paper and paper products, fiber glass, and other items unheard of in this section a few years ago.

There are 5.440 manufacturing plants in North Carolina, of which 1,125 employ more than ,300 peoplesome of them several thousand. The graphs and maps emphasize that majority Of these plants are In the central Piedmont area and points up the need for more industry lo the east and the far west.

While emphasis is on raanufac-tujring (which some people accept as synonymous with industry*, the stories and advertisements recognize the contribution made by Ninklng. insurance, transportation and other service industries to the development of North Carolina.

The November issue of "We, the People is a valuable addition to business . libraries throughout the country.

LOCAL AIDGovernor Hodges and his corps of Industry-hunters have emphasized that the most significant factor in locating new Industry is initiative and cooperative on part of the home communities. That is just as true with respect to promoting interest in travel as in lo-eating manufacturing plants.

A North Carolina newspaper man wrote the other day asking for information on the part a local historic site was playing In the state travel business. The only authoritative source of auch information is the site itselfa record of how many visitors, where they cajnc from, etc.

Representatives of national magazines assigned to do feature stories about North Carolinaand there have been dco-en* of them In recent years <

T- -'mSiSSSmT^r-'- fiaiiiMi

have complained about lack of cooperation on part of local people in giving facts and figures and human Interest material about their communities.

When the article is written or the plant located, the communities which failed to cooperate often are the first to complain that they were discriminated against. There is an authenticated story about one local booster group being so busy in a membership campaign the employees did not have time to answer a questionnaire from a national magazinewhen it seemed apparent that the publicity obtained might have been worth half the annual budget of the boosters.

The American Newspaper Publishers Association used to have a slogan to the effect that All Business is Local. Some years ago the editor of a small newspaper in.sisted that world war news was local, because men from that community were on battle Unes in every part of the world.

JOB CHANGES-The coming of new administrations into power in Raleigh and Washington is occasioning many changes in jobs. A number of government employees, realizing they soon will be out of their present lobs, are seeking places in industry. And an almost equal number of current industrial employees are anticipating a place on government payrolls.

A few former State workers In relatively big positions have already moved into Indiustrlal berths. The effect of that transition is illustrated by a bit of overheard conversation between a high level industrialist and a man who knows a right smart about the interlocking relations between government and business. The subject of the conversation was a mutual friend, who lately had moved from public to private payroll.

How is my friend, Ab, getting along with your company? asked the citizen. Hes doing very well, replied the industrialists. We are happy to have him with us. Of course. he added, It takes a little time to train a man who comes out of the Raleigh atmosphere from a government job to really work in our organization.

The IndustriaUst explained that he meant no reflection upon government workers. He was just saying that the method of approach to getting the job done is different in private enterprise. Those who transfer from private to public employment face similar necessity for adjustment.

Ah artvertWna copy must be received at lea.^t one day betort pubtirition date.

of what Roes on m the Umtod States during^ a national election year, Vice President-elect Johnson has now reassured members Of NATO that Preesi-dent Eisenhower is still held in high esteem by his countrymen. They heard the man who will be vice presidenta man who fought (politically) against Eisenhower during the electionsay that although the candidates supported by Eisenhower were defeated, the election was in no way a repudiation of President Eisenhowers support for the instruments of mutual strength in Western Europe.

His speech presented a vigorous bipartisan ap-l)roach to international problems . . . and it came just a few days after the heat of the campaign in which Democrats . were condemning almost every part of the Republican program and vice versa.

Little wonder then, that people overseas do not understand the unique system of politics in the United States. In a world in which most political figures who do not come out on top are sent to prisons or flee to exile, it is difficult for people around the globe to accept the fact that such is not the case in the United States. Particularly is it so in the case of an election such as the heated one this year.

Most people innately fear what they^ cannot under.*land, and to some degree the political structure of the United States may be a source of awe for people in other parts of the world. Even so as they see it in operation, and realize that it is genuine democracy at work, it is bound to bring admiration, respect and friendship for this nation so dedicated to freedom for its own people and those of other countries.

O

Fifty Minutes That Can Spell Life, Death

Those fifty minutes that have been shaved off the time it takes to send out a nationwide alert in case of attack upon the United States could mean the difference between life and death for millions of Americans if such an attack should ever occur.

Through use of a new system utilizing facilities

of two major news services, the Associated Press

and United Press International, the time it will take

to inform radio stations across the nation of an alert has bee, reduced from one hour to less than 10 minutes.

It is important as the world moves deeper into the missile age that warning systems for the civilian population be improved. Regardless of how quickly the defense .system of the country may know of an attack it will mean little unless the information can quickly be transmitted to the civilian population as well as to defense centers.

Communications have become increasingly im

portant as the tempo of modern life has increased. With each new scientific breakthrough that increases the tempo of modern life there must likewise be an improvement of communications upon which people depend to keep up with what h going on in the contracting world in which they live.

Word From Grenoble

(Editors note: This is the concluding portion of a report by N^ncy Harris of Greenville on the first three months of her stay in Prance as a Rotary Fellowship student in Grenoble.)

My six weeks spent in Paris was a period of extremes. There 1 lived the role of American tourist, foreign student, and Parisiene. I sun glad that I was there at the end of summer before the tourists left, for it was fun to meet them in shops and at the American Express and the American Church. It was interesting to try to guess their state by their accent. I was also glad to be able to remain in Paris after they left, for the city appeared entirely different then. It was

then when I began to feel like a Parisiene. Even though my primary purpose for being in Paris was for studying French at the Alliance Francaise, I also found time for sightseeing and visiting the many quarters of the city. My favorite times were those spent with new friends on such excursions, I especially enjoyed Notre Dame Cathedral and the Palace of Versailles. Often in the evenings we wocld visit different little restaurants to try new dishes in the sections of Montparnasse or the Latin Quarter, where most of the studen| life is centered. One night I dined aboard the Bateau-Mouche, a restaurant aboard a sightseeing boat which floats up and down the Seine, showing Its

disruptive Plan The Budgetary Troubles

For Alliance

Bv WILLIAM L, RYAN Associated Pres* News Analyst

A development in Paris Monday provides a clue to Soviet intentions toward the incoming U.S. administration. It indicates a long-range, back-door attack to divide the United States from its North Atlantic allies.

The Paris move carried a step further the Soviet attack on the structure of the United Nations. The Soviet delegation demanded that the U. N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization abolish the post of its director-general and substitute a three-iqember executive board, representing the Communist bloc, the neutrals and the West.

This proposal was similar to the one applied to the U.N. sec-retary-generals office by Premier Khrushchev during his spectacular show in the U.N. Assembly last month.

The proposal to abolish the secretary - generals office got little support, even from neutralist nations. But the Russians have been bringing up the general idea of three - man dliec tora tes time after time in various committees and agencies of the world peace organization.

To broach the idea for UNESCO. however, would seem to make little sense, even for the Kremlin. UNESCO is supposed to deal with matters largely outside the frigid atmosphere of the cold war.

It is difficult to see what the Russians expect to get out of their Paris proposal.

What the Russians seem to be doing is serving notice that nothing can be done toward easing world tensions by the United Nations as it exists today-By persLsting in their demands, and applying them in such unlikely fields as cultural

relations among nations, the Russians fortify the impression that they hope to freeze the cold war permanently into all U. N. organs. This indicates a Soviet presumption that the cold war cannot and will not come to an end.

Since the Russians* seek to build into all U, N. organs a paralyzing, disruptive veto power, it would seem logical to assume that they will not work within the world organization unless they can control it. Lacking much prospect of that for the present, they seem to want to stall any effective U N. operation.

If the Russians have their way. this will mean summits, summits and more summits. The indications are that they are now generating the steam for pressure they intend to bring against the administration of President-elect Kennedy to push him into a top-level meeting In April.

When Sen. Kennedy became the apparent victor in the U.S. elections, Khrushchev sent him a mes.sage saying that the eyes of many people are fixed on the United States and the Soviet Union, because the destinies of world peace largely depend upon the state of Soviet-Amerlcan relations.

This seemed to express the idea that the only nations which can attempt to settle world problems are the U.S.SR. and the United States. Should the United States seem to accept such an idea, it could arouse such distrust among America's allies that the beginning of the end of NATO might be In sight.

That Ls one of Khrushchevs most cherLshed goals. His attack on the U. N. structure may be just one weapon in his attempt to achieve it.

(Greensboro Daily News)

It IS increasingly apparent that budget requests of state-supported colleges, with particular reference to the Consolidated University of North Carolina, will become the center of a legislative battle. Where is the money coming from? How is It to be allocated? How will the indicated surplus be wrought into the next bienniums spending program?

These are questions which have hung over previous sessions of the General Assembly. And there is reason to believe that they will hang even more heavily over the 1961 Legislature.

The Daily News does not profess to have the answer. President William Friday, the University's Board of Trustees, heads of the other state-supported colleges and members of the State Board of Higher Education are all keenly aware of their responsibilities and, although they may have different approaches, are alike dedicated to the furtherance of education.

Any agency grappling with the educational program and we are thinking of the college level heremust recognize the demands of mounting enrollment, the need for more space, the obligation to keep education within the financial reach of our boys and girls and the necessity for readjustment to the changing pattern of which we are an inescapable part. Somehow the differences of our educational leaders mustand we are sure willbe composed so as to come up with the best answer within the framework of fiscal realities.

The Daily News has its own

convictions. With mounting enrollment, our institutions of higher education should make the very most of the space and the facilities they already have. That may well mean rearrangements of schedules and courses so that what is being done in four years now can be done in three. Drastic changes may cause inconvenience, but inconvenience is vastly preferred to ignorance or to denying a college education to a single boy or girl who desires it.

We are all in favor of quality education. While physical facilities are necessary, the faculty, inspired teachers and dedicated personnel make a university great. Certainly If it reaches the point where a choice must be made between more intense use of space, elimination of plush in college and university structures on the one hand and recruitment and retention of faculty members on the other, that choice should be easy; teachers and sufficient salary to retain them win hands down.

It is well enough, however, for all the fadts, all the angles, to come out now so that educators, budget - makers and legislators ahke may mull over them and come up with answers, doubtless involving the usual compromises, which will best serve the over-all interest o North Carolina and what is not only its most valuable but its most abundant resource.

In dollars and cents North Carolina Is not a rich state. But it faces the grave responsibility of getting the most that it can out of the tax money it levies and spends.

passengers how beautiful Paris can be by night, and why it is justly called the city of lights. Another evening I visited the Lido and was a spectator of its world renown floor-show. I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to visit in French homes and attend their parties. It was quite musing to discover how popular American music is with the French young people. Most of them have a large collection of our records, even if they can not understand the words. Often they would ask me the meaning. The cha-cha is even more popular in France than at home.

While in Paris I lived in the American House at the Cite Uni-veraitaire. The Cite is a large residential section for students at the University of Paris, composed of dormitories from practically every country. Every time I entered the cafeteria there. I realized Its vastness and witnessed the international climate that prevailed, Nearly every nationality was represented.^* It made me strengthen my belief that only through an exchange of ediKational policies and viewpoints will come a world government someday. At each meal I had an opportunity to talk with students from different countries. All had impressions to share with me concerning the United States and questions to ask, especially since X was a Southerner. As large as the Cits $ is, among my friends there was a North Carolina girl, Susan Hatcher, from Hamlet. Sue Tucker married her brother. There were also four other Rotary International Fellows residing at the American House. One other friend who I must mention was Nicolas .Kopp. Nicky was a French medical student in Paris who had lived In Goldsboro. North Carolina, for a year with a Rotaran family, the John Hendersons. He spent his senior year in high school there on the American Field Service project. Nicky loved eastern North Carolina almost as much as 1 do! He knew several friends of mine at East Carolina now.

From Parts lo Grenoble was a big change, but I will .save Grenoble for another time! Since I have been away, from the clippings I have received, it seems that Greenville has been a, busy and exciting city this fall, with the visits of Hurricane Donna and Presiden^elcct Kennedy! Nearly all of the French people were for Kennedy. I was happy to see that my sorority sisters made such a big hit with him! The Pirates have been showing Greenville some real football this year, and I know that Coach Boone is proud of them. I really missed East Car-iCcntinued on page five)Subtle Hiss. J. -Story

By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKT

Copyright, 1960, King Features Syndicate, Inc.

It would seem that at this moment there is a renewed campaign in favor of Alger Hiss. The

effort is to show that Hiss has suffered martyrdom and is now litdng in poverty. The inherent appeal in such an article as appears on this subject in Esquire magazine, is for compassion and we arc a compassionate people.

' Esquire, by caption and the photographic setting as well as the nature of two articles in juxtaposition, shows* how Roy Cohn, who had been one of Hisss adversaries, has prospered. The titles are interesting; The Problems of Alger Hiss as contrasted with The Pleasures of Roy Cohn." Hiss is the man of purpose: Cohn the man of pleasure. Why this contrast is made, it is difficult to understand, as Cohn did not benefit from Hisss miseries nor did Hiss suffer from Cohns affluence.

Of Hiss it is said:

At present, Alger Hiss if selling stationery.

He lives at a water-front address in New York City in a third-floor walk-up, a sad building with a tattered green awning over* a vacant store front piled high with empty cardboard cartons, and next door, Harry Feldman, Slop Chest. Supplies Everything for the Sailor.* It looks like the kind of hide-out . . .that Whittaker Chambers would have picked in his darker days. Last Spring the apartment was robbed. . .the total loot was a $25 ring and a $5 pair of cuff links.

Since last year, he has been

separated from hla wife, Priscilla.

Of Roy Cohn, it says;

Roy Cohn is thirty-three now . . .Cohn today is a partner in the New York law firm of Saxe, Bacon, and O'Shea, from which he earns $250.000 a year. He is t major stockholder of The Lionel Corporation, maker of toy trains, fuses, and electronic equipment; a subsidiary manufactures sporting goods and another is a leading producer of missile components. He is a one-third owner of Feature Sports, Inc., which iwomoted, among other fights this past year, both of the Johansson - Patterson heavyweight championship bouts. He is a successful investor in the stock market, owns two middle-sized restaurants of no particular distinction in Manhattan, and holds oil leases in Texas, New Mexico, and Kentucky. . etc., etc.

What does this contrast mean? It means that Alger Hiss has taken his downfall and bitterness and resentment; it means that Roy Cohn, who was smeared because of his association with Senator Joe McCarthy and who accumulated a host of enemies, went to work to achieve a personal success. One man who felt he was unjustly treated, lives in the past, resents the present and has no future; the other man has gone ahead.

In these articles. Hiss is painted as a Werther and Cohn as a Till Eulenspiegel. It is an interesting contrast but wholly untrue as to Cohn and I presume, not knowing Hiss, that he wUl on: day be released from his miseries by finding a place for himself In which his talents can still be used in his countrys Interest,

These talee of two men who took divergent paths may be interesting and therefore they justify some magazine notice. But it is not a true contrast because Roy Cohns success in business has nothing to do with Alger Hisss failure as a public servant. Roy Cohns capabilities are in the fields of law and finance. His father was a distinguished Jurist in New York; hla grandfather was a banker. He comes by his abilities naturally. Alger Hiss also is a lawyer and as such has had a brilliant start, but he got caught In the Marxism of the 1930s and went to prison therefor. Cohn avoided such entanglements which apparently shocks "Esquire*

which quotes Richard Rovcre as foUows:

In all probability, Cohns anti-Communlsm was somewhat less of a caprice and an Improv Istation than McCarthys, for Cohn was Jewish and from New York, and at about the time he came to mans estate and participated in the Rosenberg pro#* (Continued on page five)

By ELMER ROE.SSNER New models of autos, appliances and other durables an* now bringing the annual exclamations of pleasures from some people and the annual grumbles from others. Once again people complain: All this new-model business is a racket. It's a scheme to make our cars and refrigerators out of date to force us to buy replacements. It le phony obsolescence.

It is true that changes in dt-sign.s in durables, no less than changes in fashion* In apparel, ate intended to peteviade pcee* pecU to throw away their Ca^l-lUacs (Hr their bubble skirts.

But what is not generally recognized is that there would be model change.^ even if there was no conscious effort to create obsolescence

GENERATED BY RESEARCH Here art reasons why.

1, Manufacturers are constantly seeking to Improve their products for competitive reasona. Uften a new improvement, such

as wider tire placement or a shorter television tube, require new models,

2. Manufacturers are also extremely sensitive to complaints about the performance of their products, whether they be autos toasters or washing machines. When the public complains about a fault, they are quick to remedy It, even if it involves extensive model changes.

3. Competitors improvements, or even gimmicks, can force' a model chain. If a competitor adds a device that offers an additional beneftt, auch -a# w new ayeoem for getting vacuum cleaner* up and down stairs, other manufacturers must meet th challenge and this often means a new model.

PUBLIC A FACTOR. TOO

4. Public taste changes. What was once a highly popular model may suddenly bt passed by The manufacturer must then produce a new model or fade away.

5. Tools and die* wear out. And

instead of replacing them, it is often cheaper to make tools and dies for a new model, especially if it will generate excitement and interest.

6. The law itself may require model changes. Many features on todays cars are there because the legislators of only a few states require them.

7. Changing cost ratioa alao dictate model changes. As one material becomes more costly, a manufacturer has a choice of ntising his price, or producing a new model using an alternate.

6, Chwnflng labor costs also compel ehangea. The original autos wtre all handmade. As labor rates' ross, manufacturers were compelled to adopt new models that could be made largely by automation. This trend will continue and models will have to be changed con-atantly to provide for atlU more automation.

It should also be remembered that the public exercises veto powers over new modela. *Many

new model autos have been rejected. That turtle - ahaped Chrysler of scnne years ago was so far ahead of its time that a more conventional model had to be rushed into production. And many other new models of large and small appliances have been vetoed, just as aome of the Paris fashions are each year.

LAWN BOWLS AND BALLS EXEMPTED FROM TAX \ baU to be roUed ln''i bowling alley is taxed by the Federal government, but a ball rolled on a lawn is not.

Section 4111 of the 1954 Revenue Code impoaas a tax on certain sporUng goods, including bowling ball* and pins.

But since lawn bowling involves no pins, the Internal Revenue Service has ruled (Rev.
