acutely conscious of the fact that And they

about the things they saw and heard here, and to suggest they come and see for themselves. TESTIMONY The visitation

this is a small world. After a luncheon at Salem College, following a tour Old Salem, the visttcrs were eagerly looking forward to dinner at home in Connecticut, Obio, Illinois, and to breakfast in California,

Walter Hubbard, editor of the AAA American Motorist, noted that the world is getting smaller in a sense far more serious* than the reduction of time for cover-tnf space. Despite the opening up of new polar areas within recent years, and the physical ladlities for transportation zud communlcatkm, are^ open iat travel is less than in many years. Where can you go with your family on a pleasure or educational trip, and live or travel in comfort and with a aense of security?

Not in several nations on the European continent; not in Siberia or any part of the Soviet area in Asia; not in Red China and in most of Tibet and India. You would not dare plan such a visit to Algeria or the Congo, w South Africa. And right at our front door, within cannon range of our mainland, the island of Cuba has become a suicide trap for those who once delighted in visiting there.

Human emotions and prejudices. said Hubbard, arc destroying the advantages of sci-lentific progress and Instead of twinging peoples closer together are tending to further divide tim. He suggested no more appropriate group to actively participate in a movement to reverse this trend than those wt are concerned with promoting travel.

OPPORTUNITY Worldwide ooodltions afford an opportunity for North Carolina to capitalize on the inherent urge to travel. People are on the move going somewhere. A.! conditions close many of the heretofore popular areas overseas, places of beauty and interest on this continent have greater appeal. No state offers comparable diversity of ' scenic beauty, cultural at-. mosphere and historic values as does North Carolina.

The two dozen travel experts who spent last week in the Cape Fear valley, ^the Sandhills and the Winsion-Saleth area, repre-" oent organizations with more than seven million members. They saw history at Old Bruns-wicktown and Fort Fisher and Old Salem. They saw beauty at Orton and Airlie and in the rolling Piedmont hills. They visited cigarette factories and discov-

Plans for the live telecast of the scheduled launching of Americas first spaceman bespeaks a great deal of confidence by top officials that this undertaking will be successful.

In spite of the fact that w'eather conditions brought a postponement of the scheduled flight today, it must be assumed that the live tv show of ^he event will still be permitted when the man-carrying rocket does take off.

Telecasts of missile tests are nothing new for ^ this country, but the fact that the first U.S. spaceman launching will be broadcast live is in sharp contrast with the strict secrecy which the Soviets covered their first man-in-space venture several weeks ago.

This in itself may have an important impact upon the worlds opinion of U.S. space experiments in spite HAL BOYLE

of the fact that the American is not scheduled to orbit the earth as his Soviet counterpart did earlier. The fact that the United States is not seeking to hide the

suggestion that the United States is both confident of success and willing for its own people aqd those of other nations to be aware of failure if tnf*flight is unsuccessful. -

to bring the battleship U. S, S.

North Carolina for permanent berthing at Wilmington as % memorial and historic shrine.

Enthusiasm o homefolks for that project was contagirnis, and the out-of-staters asked the privilege of contributing $205 to the battleship fund. That was impressive testiinony to the value of the project, and demwistrates that travel promoters are concerned with points of interest without regard to artificial geographic boundries.

ADMIRAL So far as can be ascertained from the records,

Wiley G. (Robbie) Robinson, manager of the Hartford Connecticut automobile club, made a ccmtribution of $100 to gain the honor of being the first out-of-state admiral in the North Carolina navy. He handed a check to Hugh Morton, chairman of the battleship commission, at Wrightsville Beach early Wed-nf^ay morning. Other members of the party did not feel like giving $100 each, but they took up a collection and presented two pieces of U. S. currency a $100 bill and a $5 billto the president of the Travel CouncU of North Carolina for the battleship fund.

An interesting development in this series of incidents was that next day, Thursday.

If they try to displace me JiLst for politics, said Robbie.

Ill sue em all the way up to the United Nations. He was facetious, of course, but his attitude illustrates the Interest people outside of North Carolina have in this battleship deal, and tends to shame the home state folks who do not cooperate because they dislike selection of the site for the old ship.

WASHINGTON (AP)In his first 100 White House days the picture of Preddent Kennedy gi^ bluared.

He could point to some victories. But he had suffered depressing Setbacks.

The victories were all at home in the field he knew: politics and dealing with Congress- His setbacks were in an area new to him: foreign affairs.

At home he conveyed a sense of action and attention to details, es in the torrent of proposals to Congress and the executive orders he issued.

But abroad he showed hesitancy, as in, Laos, and failure to pay attention to details, as in Cuba.

On March 23 he gave a warning as Soviet-supplied, Communist-led guerillas swarmed down through apathetic Laos;

If these attacks do not stop, those who support a truly neutral Laos will have to consider their response.

He wanted the Russians to agree to a cease-fire. What happened? The Russians stalled, probably laughed, since Laos in Southeast Asia is a nightmare to defend.

The result: the guerrillas, Ignoring the warning to stop the attacks, continued them, gobbled up more of Laos.

Its questionable now that any of Laos can be saved. Theres no American mood to commit U.S. troops to the continent of Asia.

Besides, Kennedy hasnt psychologically prepared the nation for getting directly involved in Laos. But if Laos goes, so may Thailand and South Viet Nam.

Kennedy himself is pessimistic about saving even South Viet Nam. One thing is certain; all Southeast Asia, where the United States has military alliances. Is in jeopardy.

As for Cuba: the 1,200 or 1.-.500-man invasion < against Fidel Castro would not have been possible without Kennedys approval

But it was a disaster. The men were slaughtered. ~ Castros strength had been grossly underestimated. So had the pro-Castro mood of the Cuban people.

That invasion was either worth doing and doing thoroughly. or it should never have been attempted. Truth Is. it was done far from thoroughly.

But the Kennedy administration still hasn't revealed publicly what went wrong, who was to blame.

Instead nf^destroying Castro, the invasion failure made him

look more the hero, angered some Latin Americans, made friends and foes question Kennedys Judgment.

Kennedy is in a contest with Premier Khrushchev. At the end of 100 days, If theres been a winneir so far, its been Khrushchev.

He even undertook, in a message made public for the world to read, to lecture Kennedy on morality.

Kennedy set out trying to get along with the Russians but in the one field of most direct contact with thembanning nuclear teststh^es been only failure.

The Russians insist on a veto anywhere along the line on any inspection system to prevent cheating once a ban was agreed on.

That Mils agreement.

Kennedy looked better at home where he acted like a take-charge president, wantod to stay on top of everything, laid down 33 legislative proposals to Congress, so far, he has suffered no major defeat in domestic politics.

Already Congress has passed about five of his proposals pretty much as he wanted but, the big oneslike medical care for the agedstill lie ahead, fate unknown.

But even In Congress, which he knows so well, as the 100 days drew to a close .some of his own Democratic leaders began to grumble. They resented what they considered too much meddling by Kennedy and his strategists in major bills.

As a president elected by the narrowest margin in history and OTced to deal with a highly conservative Congress, he was in poor poeition to try innovations. Hes tried none. Hes been moderate, as if only conservatism bad a chance. ,

All in all. hes done all right at home. But that isnt true abroad.

After all, shes married to her job.

Sometimes, dont you feel youd like to chuck it all for a husband and a home?

And now It is my pleasure to introduce to you Miss Nell Grapple, a pioneer in our field who, as' you all know, was among the first women in our industry to

Its not OTily that she knows the business Inside out. To hire a man with half her brains would cost us twice aa much. I'm sorry, madam, we donH serve imescorted ladles at the bar.

Miss, that is your third one. How about taking a look at the menu?

Let her pick up the tab. What if she is a woman,? Shes got a blggei^ expense account allowance than any mao in the office.

What do you do with all the money you make?

I know Im talking rough, and youll have to excuse my language. But Ive always thought of you as one of the boys.

Gee, I dont know the answer to that one. Youd better ask Miss Grapple. She was in the company when Abe Lincoln was chasing ambulances in a buggy.

Frankly, Miss Grapple, we think the titian tint makes you look a bit haggard. We recommend In your case our new tint, glamorine-gray, which is specifically designed to accentuate your mature youthfulne^ysand at the same time point out that here is a person of responsibility.

Im glad youve agreed to come to the office picnic, Miss Grapple. Youll be a real force in keeping it from getting it out of hand.

Y o u wouldnt bel^e It, looking at her now, but I can remember when she came to work with a ribbon in her hair. Would you mind taking up a collection in the office for Judy, who joined us fest month; Shes getting married,

We have to face facts, Miss Grapple. Our gross has dropped off three months in a row. Well have to cut our personnel 10 per cent, and since you are single

Why, Nell Grapple, what a

surprise 1 havent seen you since college. Meet my husband, George. What have you been doing all these years Having fun, I hope.

"rhe thing I often wonder about you career women Is: who zippers up the back of your dress when you go out of an evening the elevator operator?

Actually, our size 14 Is cut tight and is the same as size 18 in the less expensive shops. I would recommend size 14. Youll feel more comfortable and your girdle wont show.

Gee, Aunt Nell, I appreciate your present so much. You do too much for me. I wish you had a daughter of your owm. You are a wonnderful person. Any girl would be* lucky to have you for a mother.

TO THE EDITOR:

The eyes of- education-minded citizens of North Carolina and many other states will be turned toward Greensboro on Thursday.

A special session of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina will convene that day to consider a recommendation that the Convention raise $45 million to provide additional physical facilities for the seven colleges operated by the Convention.

Dr. Douglas M. Branch, general secretary - treasurer of the work carried on by 900.000 North Carolina Baptists, Is giving strong support to the proposals which the special Convention committee will recommend.

He said recently: I know of nothing which will do more for our future than a great host of leaders whose academic environment was set in our Christian colleges.

North Carolinas forward-look ing Governor, Terry Sanford, has also been enthusiastic in his support of the proposed campaign.

Speaking at Campbell College on a recent occasion. Governor Sanford emirfiasized the importance of the i*ivate church-related colleges in the states educational network. He pointed up

the fact that even with the present tremendous employment of state expenditures, church-related schools now accommodate about 48 per cent of the states college enrollment.

Church - supported colleges must bear their proportionate share of. . .the avalanche of 13 and a half million American boys and girls who will be of college age in 1970. and. who will demanding full intellectual and spiritual development, Governor Sanford stated.

He further said that the church must not now relinquish its traditional role of leadership and influence In the field of higher education. Evidently, many North Carolina Baptists agree.

Never in the history of our great state, or any other for that matter, has the leadership of a religious denomination dared even to think of an educational advancement program of such magnitude, much less to recommend it to the constituents of the denomination. That which happens in Greensboro on Thursday could well turn out to be cne of the truly momentous actions in Tar Heel history, and to the history of American church-related higher education as well-Sincerely, Bruce E. Whitaker President, Chowan College Murfi-eesboro, North Carolina

Copyright, 1961, King Features Syndicate, Inc.

The assumption of cxpertness Is Inevitable in our -current system of education. The word, doctor. only spells out the duration that one has spent In a particular discipline. So tiiere are Doctors of Medicine, Doctors of Philosophy, Doctors of Law, etc.

In the 19th Century, where few could r^ad and titles were important. If a man bore such a title as doctor or professor, he was regarded with awe. Today that Is not so because there are too many In too many fields and their expertness has become so minute that often outside their little areas of discipline they ara not of great Intelligence.

Medical doctors, who are harried men because of the pressure of time and the rei)onsi-blllty for life, sometimes tend to become both pbmpoua and narrow-minded. They revert to tha mental attitudes of the witch doctor. Great men arc not Hka that because they realize that anyone can read what they read and that their value is only experience and sensitivity which an individual may or may not possess, dependtog as much upon his personality as upon his training.

There can be no secrets in any fields and the expert needs not only the ability of the technician but also the imagination of genius. This applies in all fields. Wo are so refining education by a system of majors in college training and specialization In post graduate work, that few know a whole subject and the person who is as well-read in universal literature and history as he Is in his specialty is rare, indeed.

The effect of expertness is sometimes markedly dangerous because it gives empha^ to leadership qualities where they do not_exist. I know a physician whom I respect for his ability and kindliness but who is so devoted to his specialty that when he discusses another subject, be sounds like a child. Although this man has had excellent schooling, his concentration on the minuteness of his particular discipline has so cmnpletcly absorbed him that he has little thought for anything else.

This same Illness appears in the so-called career men in the State Department. The Poiffth FTom* of the l^tc Department where the Designen sit is made up of experts, authorities about specialties in which they become so absorbed as to be part of the other country. For instance, the China experts became so absorbed in Chinese affairs, that they forgot that they are Americans: the Chiban experts were so Cuban in their outlook tiiat it is not obvtous that their concern was not for the United, States but for some political group to Cuba that they favored.

While their expertness could be an advantage 1 it were framed properly. It has actually become a nuisance. For instance, Portugal and Spain are imports ant to the maintenance of the international position of the United States. But the doctrinaire Deskmen are anti-colonial and therefore have injected themselves to the question of Angola, Just as they have to the destruction of the Dutch, British and French Empires.

Here is a fundamental confusion of policy that has proved to be very costly to the United States bto is Inevitable whei. policy is actually made by experU whose task is to gather data not to interpret it. This error to or-ganization has been ever-present to the CIA where evaluation is made at too low a level. Although the CJIA rejects respon-sibtty for the Cuban errors, vestigation would show that the CIA man to Cuba was pro-Castro whereas Ws job was to gather accurate information about Cuba and Castro and to transmit it to his superiors for evaluac tion.

The expert too often suffers from the conceit which comes to one who knows a great deal about a small areawhat can be called the specialist of the left-eyebrow, who only too often fails to recognize that his is a part of a problem.

A physician was once very determined about a diagnosis. I knew the patient very well; I asked the physician if he knew him at all. He had been called In as a specialist but a plumb-(Continoed On Fags 8)

The Yoke Of Self-Discipline

Perhaps no one hears the word discipline without wincing. It is a word which suggests being kept altor school when wa wara young, or doing extra guard duty as a soldier Yet discipline I a most vital and important word for daily livingespecially when It becomes self-discipline.

Self-discipline is the true mark of adulthood We begin to grow up when no one has to make us do what is right..'Adults who lack self-discipline are not truly adults: they are overgrown children who have never assumed the responsibilitiesor known the deep Joysof adulthood.

Self-discipline is the foundation of our moral, social, economic, and political order^ We do not

have a strong moral character until we do what we know we should, even when we do not want to do It. No social order is possible unless the majority of men voluntarily submit to the rules and restrictions of community living. Only the self-discipline of hard work, saving, and intelligent planning for the future leads to economic progress. The freedom of^deraocracy is possible only for people who willingly Impose upon themselves the duties and resonsi-bllitles of 'taxation, military selves the dutlesv and responsl-tlcs of government.

Real freedom comes when we can say not. Nobody can tell me what to do! but instead, Nobody has to tell me what to do.

Here are things to expect in business:

More FTC . crackdowns: The

Federal Trade Commission has been heartened by the Kennedy Admlnfltratlons attitude toward business finagling, and so will rush pending cases. Some may clobber industries least expecting It.

SlowdOM'n in plant spending:

The Kennedy proposal to ladle tax gravy to corporitiions who increase spending for plahls a&d equipment wUl. for the moment, have a reverse effect. Corporations will hold up spending plans until they see what happens to the proposals Results may be long in coming.

Oriental swindles; Japan, which historically pays investors much higher returns than Western nations (8 per cent is not high), is now permitting Americans to invest in a small part of Nipponese property. But fact-buck operators may be moving in. Warning: If tempted to Invest in Japanese certifi

cates, etc.. do so only throng regular brokers and banks, and ask searching questions. SECURITY, ANYONE?

More postal jobs: Postmaster General J. Edward Day has Indicated intentions to add more permanent personnel, dropping temporaries Already, Civil Service is stepping up the number of examinations. If you know any youngster who wants a job with fresh air and security, turn him around three times and head hlin. toward the nearest post office (where Civil Service exam data is available). Note:Estab-llshment of a postal West Point is being talked up. but Congress probably wont go along. It wants to keep postal plums on a political basis as long as possible.

No instant mail: Meanwhile, dont expect careers in facsimile transmission of mall. In the old V-matl way. PM Day is not enthusiastic, and is under intense pressure from telegraph, phone and other qulck-commu: nlcation organizations.

NEW BUG KILLER ,

Insecticide coming: A new insect eliminator, said to kill a broad spectrum of bugs without danger to pets, plants or cotton bolls, will soon get national distribution and promotion.

Instant waterproofing: Pinal

'laboratory tests are nearing completion of a pill which, dissolved in a gallon of water, will produce a waterproofing mixture for basement walls. It will ,wa-torprool other surfaces too.

Drive-throngh market: Just as there are drive-in bank windows, there may soon be drive-through supermarkets. Shoppers need never leave their cars to get the days foodstuffs, which are placed In bags hung on car door. The first one Is being tested In Dayton, Ohio.

New film glamor; A new television film projecting system, said to make old movies have the snap of new ones, will be unveiled next month. The system uses an optical multiplexer," said to project the best pos

sible image from films or slides.

Lift plane: Ready in a couple of years will be a plane with lift fans In each wing to give it a vertical rise, and jet en< gines in the fusliage to give it go. Research is in progress at Schenectady, N.Y.
