Reorggnization Of The C&D Board

<jOV. Sanfords proposal to reorganize the Board of'Conserv^ation and Development from within rather than creatingvone or more new state agencies is a aound approach to the problems which face the C & P and the state. ^ ^

Because of the diveree activities carried ofiSy^the Department of Conservation and Development in many fields, consideration has been given to separating some of the activities now handled by the department and creating other agencies to look fter them.

In bis proposal to enlarge the C&D board, Gov. Sanford has chosen to retain the one large apncy, but to alter its structure to give greater emphasis to some of the programs. Under the governors proposal, membership of the Board of Consolidation and Development would be increased from the present 18 members to 28 members. At the same time board members would sene only on a single committee for the department

rather than on several committees as is now the case.

This reorganization will place in the hands of a

PERKING UP Tbe Democratic party In North Carolina la showing nacre evidence oi liie and activity than it has for several decades during non-election years. First step in the upgrading program In^ted by State Chairman Bert Bennett was employment of an almost full time executive secretary. Dr. Wallace Hyde has performed some other services for the Governors office and State agencies, but has given most of his time in recent months to strengthening the Democratic or-canixatlan.

Announcement has just been made that the State committee will publish occasionally a Bews maga^e for the purpose f keeping party officials and workers alerted to developracnta and plans. Ultimately it is expects to have r^ular monthly editions of the periodical.

Plans for the annual Jefferson Jackson money-raising dinner cootemi^te much greater ^attendax^ than ever before. The affair will probaWy be moved from the Sir Walter Hotel to the Pairgrounds Arena in order to accommodate the anticipated 1,000 to 1,200 guests. Some party wwkers question the wisdom <rf changing the place, because there is a social attraction at the hotel dining room which cannot be matched at the fairgrounds. The top strategists. however, regard the J-J dinner as s practical political rather than social occasion, and the more people they can get to buy tickets and to hear Mr. Sai; Rayburn, who will make the principal address, the better they will like it.

Y.D.C.There is closer liaison than for some years past between the regular party organi-aalion and the Young Democratic Clubs. The state UDC joins In sponsorship of tbe proposed news-magaslne. The young folks staged a successful educational rally here the other night at which Admiral Rickover made the principal speech. The affair Is rated as being very helpful to Governor Sanfords legislative program.

The Young Democratic Clubs also'have scheduled rallies to be held throughout the state this spring, comparable to the kind usually reserved for the late summer and fall of election years.

ORGANIZATION Perhaps the most significant step taken by Chalman Bennett was appointment of a special committee to revise the party plan for organization, and put som& teeth in the procedure for disciplinary action against Democratic party officials who step out of bounds In election years.

The Plan of Organization has been many times amended since Its original adoption in 1918, but has never been rewritten or adequately cQdified. Some material amendments were made in 1922. 1946 and 1952, and more significant changes made in

1958, The latest revisitm fw the first time recogsized sifiliattioo of the Democratic ""party in North Carolina with tbe National Democratic party.

The committee named by Chairman Benneft to rewrite the plan is headedi^by Thad Eure, veteran Secretary of State, and includes In its membership Attorney General Wade Bruton (who was chairman of the 1958 revision committee). Judge LJ . Phipps of Chapel Hill (Orange county chairman), John Warren of Charlotte (Mecklenburg chairman), RJI. (Fleet) Williams of Raleigh, retired editor of the News and Obser\er; Mrs. O. Max Gardner Jr., of Shelby, and Mra Leonard Lloyd of Robbins ville.

THOROUGHChairman Eure has Indicated that any changes in the present plan will be made only after thorough study and consideration. I^^^lias written every county chairman for suggestions and all these ideas will be analyzed and considered by his committee.

North Carolina is one of very few states with a written workable plan of organization for tbe Democratic party. It has been recognized in this respect by the national chairman and committee for many years. There have been times when the national folks did not approve some of the provisions In the North Carolina plan, but even then it was accorded recognition because 14 placed control in party membersif^ rather than in one man boss as was the case in some states.

Chairman Eure and other members of his committee give assurance that the plan which they will propose will retain control of party policy In the rank and file of Democratic voters, rather than in one man or small clique.

REPUBLICANS However much the Democrats may boast about their alertness to the need for revision of their party organization, the conclusion is inescapable that the Republicans deserve most of the credit for any modernization of Democratic policies. When the 1960 election showed the smallest majority for a Democratic Governor in half a century, and in-cre^ed legislative membership of the minority party from five in 1959 to 17 in the 1961 session, the Democrats realized theyd better get busy

Furthermore, the Republicans are not sitting in the shade and resting on their 1960 vistories. Under the dynamic leadership of youthful' State Chairman Bill Cobb and Rep. Bill Osteen in the General Assembly the Republican party is challenging the long time dominance *of Democrats in both State and local governments. Result Is that North Carolina, which has been accustomed to relatively mild partisan politics for three or four months every two years, is facing an era of full time political activity.

npmber of smail committees responsibility for various p(hases of the C &(D program, while the boar4_^ a whole will retain the authority to coordinate the work Ot its individual comrnittees. It will mean, we. believe, more concentrated attention on all of the activities of the C&D department which will result in a better balance of emphasis and better development of the e state bn the broadest possible basis.

As the board is now constituted, members serve on a nunjber of committees, with more than half the membership on the committee on commerce and industry. These factors in the past have given rise to the suggestion that too little attention may have been given to facets of the states development in the overall economic outlook.

The C&D boards organization as proposed by Gov. Sanford offers many advantages over the earlier proposals to split the department into several agencies, each with specific areas of responsibility. The present proposal likewise would bring about a considerable improvement over the manner in which the board has found it necessary to operate in the past.

As one of the most important state agencies in the future progress of North Carolina, the C&D board should be reorganized along the lines Gov. Sanford proposes. The work of the board would be much more effective in many areas of activity under the new proposal, and the state as a whole would receive greater benefit from the efforts of the department.

Highway 13 Extension Is Worthy Of Support

Extension of U. S. Highway 13 beyond its present southern terminus at Goldsboro is a worthy undertaking which should be supported by all the communities of Eastern Carolina through which the highway By PATRICIA MOORE now is designated.

Pitt Countys Development Commission this week gave its endorsement to extension of the highway all the way to the South Carolina line. Other groups in cities and counties now on highway 13 are being asked for similar endorsements. What the current events amount to is a big push to have U. S. 13 designated

WASHINGTON (AP) Presi-dent Kennedy is undergoing changes, ^and not for the better, in his news conferences,

1. His answers are losing precision, are beginning to wander, getting needlessly complicated.

This was typical of the way President Eisenhower answered for eight years.

2. Kennedys sentences are suffering from the wandering. The more Involved he gets, the more he leaves sentences dangling. So did Elsenhower.

Kennedys first meeting with the press last January after taking office was a classic: Sharp and tidy. It was televised live and was impressive.

His seventh conference Wednesday would have had less impact if It,- too, had been seen live on tV; Perhaps because it wasnt, Kennedy felt free to be more relaxed.

After Wednesdays conference this writer read each question and answer in the transcript carefully.

The impression was that Kennedy a number of times had ducked direct answers.

In order to decide whether the impression was correct, this

if.not outright aidto parochial schools. Kennedy made two points clear:

President Kennedys Peace Corps for the young people of the United States is no imprac-

He wants federal aid to pubU<utical dream.

schools passed first and the question of loans to private schools considered later since such loans, in his view, may be unconstitutional.

This was delicate ground, as Kennedy Indicated, for he didnt want to be put in the position of giving an opinion which only the Supreme Court can give.

Still, he took up a good part of the news conference in making his points. Just because he sawed back and forth. In fairness. newsmens questions, going back over the same ground, pushed him into taking up a lot of time on this issue.

But what created that initial Impression he was avoiding answers? Only this: He got overly complicated in giving answers.

But one thing has come through clearly in -every Kennedy news conference, Including Wednesdays: Hes an extremely busy President who does his homework, pays attention to details, knows whats happening.

The fact that he takes the trouble to be informed not only on the big problems but on the

It could have been just that. It could have evolved into another giant government spending project where the people intended to be helped got a relatively small percent of the services or facilities.

The Peace Corps could have been a Juicy plum pie for paying off political debts, for making and financing adventurous sojourns in "far away places and living in American luxury in lands of poverty. Had that turn been taken the Corps would have worsened attitudes of have-not peoples to rich and unfeeling America. -

whom the young Americans are working. The volunteers will live as the natives live, eat the food the natives eat, wear the clothes the natives wear. They will become a part of the community in which they are working.

President Kennedy gave these broad details in announcing'the Corps hoped to have 500 to 1,000 Peace volunteers on the field this year. Congress will have responsibility for a system to continue the Corps.

Sought primarily as Peace Volunteers are young people with special training and interests in teaching, in agriculture and in health.

We would have to admit that the plan sounds idealistic, maybe overly idealistic, but if it can be maintained as pictured each

A distinguished scientist recently wrote as follows: Because I have for many years been in the environment of the physical sciences, I have seen first-hand the rapid unfolding results of research and engineering. This unfolding, this understanding, and this application of science has been greater during the past century than for all the centuries which have gone before. We might well ask why did all this take place in so short a time relatively? Why Is this ours to deal with in so short a time? Why are we being provided with the means powerful enough to destroy life on this earth, yet which'might prove the basis if so used, to vastly enrich our physical life and material life? . . .

But protections against such of the volunteers will be a mls-

a happening are there. Young Aihericans will volunteer for the Corps Yet they will get no special favors auch as draft deferment. . '

They will not be paid a salary. They will receive a subsistence allotment. The subsistence allotment will not be what Americans mean when they say subsistence but it will be the subsistence of the peoples with

sionary for democracy and brotherhood. Here might be a way to recreate the foreign image from the Ugly American to the serving American.

There will be a rush of young people to volunteer as Peace Workers. Of greatest importance will be picking those with sufficient hardihood of body and mind, those able to adjust to low-level living.

Under these circumstances I can be at peace with myself only by realizing that we are experiencing the unfolding of a determinat. j step in Gods plan, measured not on our calendar of time but on His. As Christians. we need to note that the spirit of God moves not in a frenzied hurry but with deliberate calmness. We need to consider when, in our impatience, we set out to take control and to set all things aright, that this was not the primary charge of our Lord and Master. The command was simply that we should witness to Him.

By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKT C(^yrigbt, 1961, Kihg Features Syndicate, Inc. ^ -

One of the words that has become a stumbling block to logical thinking Is inevitable. What is inevitable and why? Was it Inevitable that the United States should prefer Fidel Castro as a Communist dictator to Batista as a pro-American dictator? Were tie Government of the United States ignorant as to the activities and associations of Castro, it might be said that it was inevitable that the State Department* and the CIA should have fallen in love with his whiskers. But we now know that three American Ambassadors. Arthur Gardner, Robert Hill (and Earl E. T. Smith, had warned their govemmwit concerning this man. We also know that a former American Ambassador, William D. Pawley, also made a study of Ciastro and warned against him. Pawley, however, acted on his own.

Therefore it was not inevitable that the Oovemment of the United States should have been badly informed or that Ita evaluation of data should turn out. in this instance, as concerning China. Indonesia, French Indochina, and other countries, to have been so wrong. Nor can it be said that we are not structurally arranged to discover the facts. This countrys Intelligence instruments are fully organized and perhaps even over-organized and we are spending billions of dollars annually to get our Information and to influence other countries. Is it Inevitable that we should fail because we do not understand other peoples?

Why should we not understand them? Perhaps It is because wo assume that all peoples are fundamentally the same and that therefore given the same en-vironmentaJ conditions, the same impulses and compulsions, they will expapd in an identical way. Nothlbg could be more ridiculous. Too many centuries have gone into the development of human differences. To believe that the emotional and Intellectual responses of a Bantu are the same as the responses of a Britisher is a negation of the meaning of culture and civilization. It has taken centuries for the human being to learn how to use a knife and fork and in much of the world there are those who still use their fingers or teeth to tear their meat or to roll their kuzkuz.

The advance of man from cannibalism, for instance, has not been universally timed. Cannibalism exists contemporaneously and I knew two distinguished generals, originally Miaos in Kuangsl, who, in their earlier years, followed the tribal custom of drinking the blood of an enemy to gain strength. This habit, practiced also by the Vikings and continued with pigs blood in the sausage known as blutwurst, sold in delicatessen stores today, may be used as a yardstick to measure the vast difference* In the human responses to good and evil.

Those who betteve that we must accommodateanother tricky word ourselves to the facts of Ufe, such as, for instance. the continued existence of Red CHilna and that it is Inevitable that we ahould recognize Red China and provide a seat for its delegate to the Security Council, cynically regard all forms and stages of human culture as identical in essentials.

They ask why a amaH group of intellectuals can gowrn to numerous a people as the CJhi-nese without permitting them to vote. But then tbe Chinese have never voted In their long history. They are accustomed to being cMiquered, their history being a rhythm of being conquered by outsiders since early tUnes. The most recent conqueron, the Manchus. were defeated by a complex of forces after they had degenerated Into Ucentious grafters who were controlled by C?hl-nese who ultimately set them aside. I knew the last of the Manchu emperor* who went by the name <rf Henry Pu-yl. He ultimately became a ward of the Japanese during their effort to conquer China. He was a nice, young fellow when I knew him but utterly without any capacity either to rule or to govern.

Although it was tbe Intent of Dr. Sun Yateen who established the Republio of China to make It democratic and to be governed by a ooDstituti<m, sbmethbig like that of the United States, actually Yuan Bhfii-kal seined ((Continued on page five)

was

S^er.

The Initial Impression then shown to be wrong.

In mast cases Kennedy either gave direct answers or answers which he appeared to consider as^direct as he could make them wh'en considered against the problem involved.

For example. When asked what he thought about federal loans

He was asked what disposition the government would make of a surplus Air Force extrusion plant in Adrian. Mich. This might have seemed to small a point for a President to be Informed on.

But Kennedy knew about the plant and the problems, Including cast, which might be involved in trying to move it.

A magic kind of economics appears to have been discovered by Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman. He announced Increases in price supports for dairy produc^, rice and peanuts which may Increase farm In-income by $2 billion a year yet have extremely nominal increases on consumer prices.

Websters New Collegiate Dictionary defineis nominal: Existing in name only; not real or actual: hence so small, slight or the like, as to be hardly worth the name.

Peachy, vh? Then why not arrange $4 billion gr $40 billion increases fpr facers? Two or 20 times omlnal should still be nominal.

What Mr. Freeman did not stress is the fact that no government and no magic can give $2 * billion or any sum. to any group without taking \ It way from

.~=r-

^ome other group. ^

In this instance, It Is to be taken from the consumer group and given to the farm group The farmers will get that $2billion partly from nominal increases In prices of dairy products, rice and peanuts, and partly from taxes. And in the final analysis, consumers eventually pay practically all the taxes.

So the only magic in Mr. Freemans proposal is the extent to which it fools the public into believing that the government can give the farmers $2 billion without taking it away from you and you.
