The President sized up the problem in those terms at his news conference Wednesday night while jhrusting at Republican criticism of his efforts to spur business and reduce joblessness. He also prodded the Democratic-controlled Congressmoving slowly so far to act speedily on his legislative program designed, h said, to get the american economy back on Its feet.

And the President, again with

Soviet Union clearly in mind, asserted that any attempt to destroy the United Nations in the Congo crisis Is a'' blow* aimed directly at the independence and security of every naUon. large and small.*.

He pledged the United States will continue to support the United Nations presence in the Congo. and said a U. N. pull-out theresuch as demanded by the Soviet Unionwould add up to disaster.

Kennedy said further this country considers the government set up under Joseph Kasavubu as president is the only legal au-

As for the domestic economy, Kennedy said the country Is most concerned about the very serious problem of unemployment. There are. he said, more than 5.5 million Americans who want work and cant find a job.

Told, then, that the Republican party as a whole seems to take the view that your administration has overstated * the economic recession, Kennedy said he is convinced that anyone looking at all aspects of the situation would come to the same conclusion he hasthat It is necessary to take some^action.

WASHINGTON (AP)President Kennedy today created a study eonunittee on problems of the textile inddstry.

The committee, which will submit recommendations to Kennedy, is headed by Secretary of Commerce Luther H. Hodges.

A White House statement said:

"The committee is e..^pected to explore such questions as the competitive position of the United Stales textile Industry and its ability to meet the pressure of imports. Attention also will be directed to the effect of technological developments in the industry, employment trends, competition among different types of fibers, changes in consumer preferences, and similar^ matters which may be affecting employment levels and profits in this large and vital industry."

But while this theme of hope for the future ran through Kennedys remarks, reflecting the governments view that there is still time to avoid a Congo di.sas-ter, his main emphasis throughout was on warning the Soviets and rallying the small nations.

Some Features Of Court Reform Bill Endorsd By Bar Assn

The proposed court reform bill endorsed by the Pitt County Bar Association Tuesday would serve f create uniform system of courts below the Superior Court level for North Carolina, according to bar a.s.oclatlon President Lubie M. Stocks and W. W. Speight. , e '

A main feature of the proposed amendment, according to Stock.s and Speight, who is a member of tha N. C. Bar Associations committee on court reform, would abolish the so-called fee system -IOW used by justlce-of-the-peace courts throughout the state.

Section 22 of the 14-pag^ pro-po.sed act .sltpulate.s; In no case shall the conipen.sallon of any Judge or magistrate be dependent uptm his decision or upon the collection of costa.*

The propoaal would replace the

justice-of-the-pcace courts with state-salaried magistrates who would serve as officers of a district court system also provided for in the act.

The bill provides for a district court sy.stem that would locate at least one. district court in eacn county. The new system would allow a uniform atate-wide system of procedures and court costs District courts, under the proposed measure, would replace the current system of county recorders courta. Jurisdiction of the district courts would indu'*' current authority now exercised by county recorders courts, but could be expanded at the discretion of the General A.ssembly.
