By LYNN MSBET EARLY BIRDS - Hali a dozen or more members of the 1961 Houee of Representatives are either very active of admittedly wUlinf candidates for Speaker O the 1963 House. Traditionally, the position next time will be filled by a member from the eastern part of the state. There are more experienced men from that area than from the western half, and no lack of cx>mpetent material from which to choose. Many folks think it is too early for pottive announcements and active campaigning, with so much Important business of the current session still not much beyond planning stage. The real fights over nxMiey and redistrict-ing have not reached peak in committees, and the floca* scraps are stUl ahead. These are the occasions which test the capacity for leadership.

Some of the self anointed political prophets and would-be king ir.akers are speculating on who . will be Governor SanfordS choice for the Democratic nomination for Governor in 1964. That is really "early-birding the situaon. It Is difficult to determine whether these speculative newspaper and radio comments are intended to build up the prestige of the incumbent Governor as a Warwick (Riclrd .Ne\ille, Earl of Warwick. having been known as the king - maker in England and France some 500 years ago), or if the purpose is to embarrass him and deflate his influence In the present session of the G)eraJ Assembly.

One thing is certain: If Terry Sanford is smart enough to pick his successor, he is too smart to give any indication of choice until his administration program ]s much further along most likely not until after hi* second Legi-slature.

CANDIDATES - It is common knowledge that Lieutenant Governor Cloyd Philpott. presiding officer in the Senate, and Speaker Joe Hunt of the House both have their eyes on the big chair In the southwest comer of the captol. Only a dumb amateur in politics would express preference between these two, when both are essential to putting through a program in which he is vitally interested. It would be almost as foolish for the Governor to give any indication of preference for some other candidate i over the presiding of-

ficers. Whatever else might be said about Terry Sanford, he has proven t|^t he is not amateurish

in politics. ^ ^

i.aiely the name* of Bert Bennett and Bill SUton have been injected into advance prediction* about the Govemori race next time, along with sev eral others who had prominent pan m The nomination and election of Terry Sanford. He need* thetr continuing support for his program, and he is not dumb enough to jeopardize or forfeit it by picking any one as the crown prince at this stage Furthermore, if he has already picked the man he would like to have follow him in the highest office in the state, announce-ment of that choice now might well prove to be the kiss of death. North CaroUniana" have never tolerated political bossism, and They are not ready to accept it now.

It would appear that the "dope stories, put out under the guise of new*, irarpoifting to name the Governors preference for a successor are designed mainly to embarrass him and his friends, rather than to promote good government.

WEAPON The most effective weapon a Governor can have in promoting his aims 1* his power of appointment. Per-hfl4M the second most potent I* prcMTiise of support in the iiri-mary for nomination to high office. Gov'emor Sanford is running true to form in seeking authority to awint as many persons to prestige or salaried positions as possible and to withhold appointments to the latest possible date. He iMis been authorized to name 28 member* of the C&D board. 19 members of the highway commlasion. four addional special judge*, and a fiock less important boards and commissions, in addition to filling vacancies occurring on established boards.

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) - President Kennedy faces a tormented choice in Laos. Act to save it from the Communist-led guerrillas? Or let it go down the drain? -If the United States intervenes? Kennedy cant possibly predict the outcome. It would be a brush-fire war which could become a big one, with Red China^oving in.

11 nothing is done. Laos is surely lost. But thats not all. If the United States holds back, it will be encouragement to the Reds to grab for the rest of Southeast Asia.

This country has an alliance to protect the areaSEATO, the Southeast Asia Traaty Organizationwith seven other countries.

They are Britain, Prance, the Philippiines, Thailand, Pakistan, Australia and New Zealand, There is no sign of enthusiasm in this country for getting American men involved in war on the continent of Asia.

But if Americans dont want to go In the United States can hardly expect the British. French. Australians. New Zealanders or the people of the Philippines to send in men.

Not one of them 1* on - the continent of Asia.

Onlv two of the eight alls are: Pakistan, which is separated from Lao-s by Burma, and Thailand, which is Laoe next-door neighbor.

Yet, if the alliance fails to act, it is weakened and American prestige suffers in all South-ea.st Asia.

If Laos goes to the Communists, because of the failure of SEATO to act. the will of Thai-*land to resist Communist pres-sure is diminished.

It would probably be pressured fast.

Thailand is on one side of Laos. On the other is South -Viet Nam where Communist guerrillas from the north already have the country wobbly. Kennedy himself is skeptical

South Viet Nam can be saved. Shice the Communists think tune is on their side, they dont have to smash Thailand and

Two other Laotian neighbor* are already neutralist. Cambodia and Burma. The Communist* can by-pas* them, pick them off later.

What makes-Kennedys position doubly difficult is that he . aIked tough about Laos. That ' was on March 23.

He warned that unless the Red-led guerrillas agreed to a cease-fire, the United State* would have to act. He didnt say how.

But the guerrillas, supplied by Russia, ignored the warning, kept pushing, knocked off more pieces of Laos, have not agreed to a cease-fire.

Since Russia is backing them, tle lack of a cease-fire cm be considered a Russian decision to stall to give the guerrillas more time to take more of Laos.

But the stalling does more. Its costing Premier Khrushchev comparatively little to test Kennedys determination.

Since more than a month ha* passed since the Kennedy warning. his failure to act may be interpreted by Khrushchev as weakness or indecision.

Kennedy has done a lot of talking, with his aides, his security council, with former President Eisenhower and Hoover, and with Gen. Douglas MacAr-

Ihur. ,

Time is running out on him in Laos. Shortly he must decide to act or stand still.

If he stands still, and tht is something he has to consider, the next time he talks tough the Russians may give him the ha-ha.

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS PLACE OF MINORITIES

Minoritie* often seem despised

In the eyes of men but we can be sure that they are often beloved in the eyes of God.

Practically every great moral and spiritual movement recorded in the Bible began as a minority movement. The patriarch Abraham, unable to endure the idolatry which prevailed in Ur of Chaldees, went out seeking a new faith and a new country. Jacob and hi.s family went down into Egypt to Uve first as a privileged minority and later as a hated minority. AU through the Old Testament the prophets represent a minority point of view.

When we come to the New Testament we find Christianity emerging a* decidedly a minority movemecti The -U^e^ holy

Jesus and Hi* disciple* were a Uttle handful of truth-bearers amid a vast ocean of error.

North Carolina can be justly proud of its successful efforts to open the first state-sponsored International Trade Fair next October. It is an event that has drawn praise from President Kennedy who has been invited to come to the state and help open the event. Said Kennedy I am delighted North Carolina is taking this iniUative. He added the hope that other states would foUow the lead of the Tar Heel state.

The event wont be just another exposition. It will be designed to show people from all over the world North Caro-finas manufactured goods and the international trade potential of the sUte. The fair ^ meets with the policy of the U. S. administration in encouraging the sale, of American* goods abroad, tourist travel Ad the strengthening of the ecoqpmy of the U. S.

A kick-off dinner scheduled for Tuesday will be attended by some 5,400 of the nations leading Industralists who wl hear Gov. Sanford address the group on the purpose and goals of the fair. The presence of these businessmen and economic leaders gives some indication of the importance attached to this project. ^ ^

What are the goals of the fair? As Gov. Sanford indicated, we are going .to.aee what we can do for the country through the

Fair

exchange of trade, ideas and good will. Those Items are important in themselves. While minor in Itself, the state leaders also believe it will be an important step in the right direction toward solution of the problem of the gold imbalance.

And of course it is hoped the fair will set the pattern for selling American good will abroad. The event will fall on Oct. 12, which happens to be Columbus Day, and as the governor pointed out, the state is inviting many friends from overseas to rediscover America and North Carolina.

To give an idea of the extent of this fair project, it might be mentioned that industrial, commercial and governmental leaders from Europe, Latin America and the Orient are being invited to come to North Carolina for this big occasion. With an eye on furthering our own Industrial potential, Tar Heel leaders are frankly looking to this fair as an opportunity to make sales and take orders for quality North Carolina goods which will be on exhibit.

It is another example of Tar Heel enterprise and initiative. Other, states will follow our pioneering example. If Gov. Sanford and Secretary of Commerce Hodges are proud of this project they have every reason to be. All citizen* of the state can look forward with Interest to this fine event.

tionai politics."The answer to this question will be determined

by history.

Already a vast change has occurred in the structure of American life by the rapid shift from the compromises of a representative republic to a democracy by pressure groups.

Most Americans are not conscious of tWs alteraUon in the structure of American government or how rapid it has been.

In fact, the word, temocrcy. is used to describe the American form of government despite the impedimenta of the Constitution which were designed to prevent us from becoming a democracy. More Kod more- institutions come into existence which establish democratic forms, mostly consisting of pressure groups which means that decisions are made not by deUberative action but as responses to immediate popular demands.

Those who hope to keep the United States a representaUve republic often advocate specific measures which eliminate the checks and balances designed to prevent" us from becoming a de-mocran'. A younger generation grows up which has never known that we are not a democracy or who can define a democracy. They respond to the word as though it were a mark of political superiority. They arc not taught at school what they should know, namely, that no government on the face of- the Earth is a democracy and that no such government flourish under present conditions.

Our problem then is we can, under the pressure of events, continue to be a representative republic, with the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. The greatest luxury of American life has been the extensive liberties of the individual; his right to form the pattern of his own life; to hold to his owh views and to pursue them Into ction, taking personal responsibility for his conduct. It has been this which explains the individual independence from governmental authority, th subjection of government to the choice of the people, and the vast and rapid development of the private facilities for production and distribution.

Can all thks survive another war or even tiie preparation for war? Can American industry survive the restrictions put upon it during war? Can American industry survive the requirements of over-building of industrial establishments for war prepara^ tion and then the reduction of the use of such plant and equipment during a period between wars?

Is it possible for the United States to act with efficient speed in an emergency? President de Gaulle was able to handle a very difficult situation in four days: the United States has not even been able to formulate a workable Cuba policy in two years. Are we too over-organized for swift action? Are there too many committees, boards. departments to be consulted? Does Congress hold up the President or does Information come up to the top too slowly, so that a President of the United States is Inadequately informed until the action taken no longer serves? Certainly, neitlwr Pre-ident ELsenhower nor President Kennedy was properly and swiftly informed regarding Castro.

The drive is ihtende<i to reduce the number of deaths, mostly of children, by taking medicine* in mistake for candy, taking wrong medicines, or taking those that have lost their effectiveness. A total of 1.200 persona are fatally polsootd each year by such mistake* and hundreds of others art sickened or suffer permanent Itiiurles. Four hundred of the deatha are o children under four.

The sponsors of the campaign. Bauei & Black, urge the discard of all drug* that are overage or of onoertaia content, and

placing of all potentially harmful drugs where children cannot reach them. Discarded drug* should be flushed down drain*. In every case of doubt, the bandage concern urges, get rid of the drug.
