Re-Appraisal Certainly In Order

The Strong Link He Welded

-STILL holds FlRfA/

The United States must not allow itself to be atampededi into* unnecessary mobilization m the face of growing international tensions. Neither can this country allow itself to assume-without careful evalu-ation^that its military position is as strong as it needs to be in the light of growing dangers.

Reappraisal of the nation^s defense position ordered by Defense Secretary McNamara plans already in progress for the United Stetes m connection with the Berlin crisis. Even so, the findings in this new appraisal should either confirm the wisdom ^of the steps already planned, or bring to light strengths and weaknesses which previously have been

miscalculated. .

At this moment most signs from Washington point to a build-up of U.S. military strength in a broad base in the next few months because of the anticipated crisis in Berlin. Such action, of course, might well have a two-fold purpose: 1. To bolster any weaknesses'in the overall defense posture and to increase both striking force and depth of strength j and 2. To*add weight to the U.S. assertions it does not intend to back down from the position it has taken in est Berlin.

The very fact that the United States does take positive steps' to build up its military position will indicate to the Soviets and to the world that it is not relying merely on words to maintain its position in West Berlin or elsewhere in,the world. At the same time, a build up will afford the United States additional strength with which to back up its words if that becomes necessary.

It should be clear to the American people by now that the growing crisis in Berlin will be serious. It

Step-Child O::

Budget-Writers

By AURORA DOLLEY

RED-HEADED? We're not fure about the "red-headed part, but .it aeem* as if the North Carolina Slate Library ia treated like a step-child,

Tia a pretty sad tale when aome wganization or group, private or public, gets more appreciation from out-of-state audiences than local bystanders and authorities.

Library groups from coast to coast give recc^ltion to the out-atanding contributions made by our State Library, and at these meetings members of the Tar Heel Ubrary staff say they are bursting with pride from the display of obvious esteem shown for North Carolinas State Library.

"Oh. . .Oh. youre from North Carolina . . . yes, I know, thats where they. .

But the sentence could be finished quite differently. Another truthful statement would be:

. .thats where they appropriate less for new books in the State Library than many, many of their towns and counties spend on local library books.

Though the State Library requested a budget appropriation of $43,000 each year in the blen-xum, the Advisory Budget Commission whittled this amount down to $18,000 per year, almost the same sum appropriated for each O the previous two years.

It is true that the recommended budget (total) represented an increase of 24 percent, but that is actually an increase of approximately $54,000.

STANDSTILL Among expenses granted no Increase what-aoever in the first year of the new biennium are supplies, materials, printing, binding, travel expenses, repairs, alterations, and general expenses.

Provision was made for four new employees, but the average salary Is Usted at sUgbtly less than the past year.

The aUotment for new books for the state Library is only sUghUy more than Pitt County pent last year for new books in the Greenville Ubrary; High Point, also, spent only a little less on its pubUc library books last year than the State of North Carolina contributed for new books for its State Library.

Charlotte PubUc Library. Incl-dantaUy. spent over four and one-balf as much last year on

its new books as was allowed the State Library for the same purpose.

SERVICESThe North Carolina State Library serves people who have no satisfactory local library service, and those whose sertous purposes arc facUitated by deaUng directly with the State Library. It serves other citiscns of the State through a network of Ubraries supplemented from State Library resources.

It Is a selected depository library for Federal documents, and the official depository for aU N.C. documents.

Microreaders are provided to facilitate the use of mlcrcfUm-ed newspapers, census reports, etc. . .the State Library borrows from other Ubraries within and without the State for aU Ubrary patrons . . . teletype service speeds handUng of Inquires and loans. . .a special coUecon of talking books is maintained and distributed to blind citizens. . . regular publications include bimonthly listing of state documents,

LEADERSHIP Mrs. Elizabeth Hughey, State Librarian for the past five years, has provided the leadership under which this has become one of the most outstanding SUte Library agencies In the United States.

Part of the financial aid for the State Library comes from the Federal government, and is directed toward a variety of programs and activities.

Some,of these Federal grants are directed toward pilot research projects; others are designed, through scholarships, to help train more librarians.^

NEEDEDThere Is a great need across the State for more thoroughly trained librarians, and for this purpose $2.000 scholarships (Federal) are being awarded through the State Library.

Chief prerequisite Is a college degree; there is no age limitationmothers with grown 3hil-dren can become' candidates for the scholarshipsand It is not yet too late to apply.

The future librarians, armed witlj the scholarships, can select any Ubrary school In the nation; after graduation, it is specified that each must spend a minimum of two years as a public librarian in a Ubrary which serves (though not exclusively) in a rural community.

should also be clear that the United Statei must prepare itself for the worst in connection with the Berlin crisis while It continues to work and hope that open conflict will not be a part of the crisis.

The appraisal of our defense position will-afford valuable information not only in cdnnection with the Berlin situation, but as the military position of the United States relates to the safety of the .entire free world.

Martin Countys New; Plant Will Give Boost.

Location of a major new industrial plant in Martin County will give a major economic boost to that predominantly agricultural county here in Eastern North Carolina.

The 700 employes who wilL^ventually be,liired by Beaunit Mills, Inc. at its plant near Hamilton will vastly increase the employment opportunities in Martin County and in all probability will attract employes from surrounding counties.

While the new mill in itself will be of the utmost economic importance to Martin County, the very fact that this major textile company has chosen Martin County as the location for its new plant should increase the countys opportunities for securing other businesses and industries. There can be no doubt that the officials and members of the Martin County Development Commission learned a great deal from their successful negotiations for the location of the nw plant. With this important success behind them, they will be in a more advantageous position to compete for other new industries in the future.

In addition to its importance to Martin County, the location of the new plant is important to a broad area of Eastern North Carolina. It illustrates again that this agricultural area of the state is ripe for industrial development'to, supplement its agriculture. It shows that the area has advantages which are recognized by industries seeking sites for new plants. And it also shows that small towns as well as the larger cities can compete successfully for plant locations, particularly where there is a county-wide concerted effort at economic development through industry.

The people of Martin County should take pride in the fact that this large new industrial plant will be located in their midst. They should also commend their citizens and officials who were instrumental in successfully locating this new plant in Martin County.

A Time For Barn Tires

They Act, Anc. West Re-Acts

Once again the tobacco har^ vesting season is upon us and along with it we usually see a rash of bam fires throughout the county which are not only destructive to the building, but also to the contents that mean so much to the farmers of Eastern North Carolina,

To this columnists knowledge, there have been no such fires in Pitt county so far this season. Of course it is still early and there is plenty of time left for the destructive flames to do

their damage.* The majority of the fires last year occurred during the later part of July and the early part of August.

On August 3. last year, The Reflector ran an article on the barn fires which noted eleven such fires in eight days. H you sit down and think about the amount, of damage these eleven fires caused, the sum would be somewhere around $25,000. You say, that Is a lot of money. It sure is, and some precautions on the part of the fanners of Pitt coun-

By JAMES MARLOW

WASHINGTON (AP) The Communists act, the West reacts. Its been that way for years. Its that way now. It was true under Presidents Truman and Eisenhower. Its true today under President Kennedy.

It raises a question: When will the West take the initiative to put the Communists on the defensive, give them the miseries?

First it was Greece and Turkey. thep. Indochina, then Czechoslovakia, then the Berlin blockade, then Korea, then Formosa, then Berlin again, then Cuba and riots in Latin America and now again Its Berlin.

In each case the Communists called the 4une and the West danced, tndng to offset them. The West has created no crises for Russia or Red China. Its been the other way around.

1. Right after the big war Russia stirred up civil war in Greece, helped the Communist rebels there, brought prssure on Turkey to get concessions and bases In the straits.

Truman reacted with the Truman plan aid to Greece and Turkeywhich not only was successful but once and for all threw off American isolationism, put the United States neck-deep In Europes problems, shaped the future.

2. Indochina began to fall apart In 1946, although no one realized it at the time. Indochinese, led by Communists and sick of French colonial rule, began civil war. It lasted eight years. The French fought a halfhearted war. wouldnt let go.

In the end the United States helped the French, Too late. The Communists got half of Indochina. The result of all this: The United States set up South east Asian alliances to try to save the rest of the area from the Red.s.

3. In 1947when Bulgaria, Romania. Poland. Hungary had been taken over by Communists, when Communists were the second most powerful political pany In France, when Communists were rioting in Italy, when all Western Europe was in danger of economic collapsethe United States came up with Its Mar-ahall Plan.

This economic aid program

saved Europe. The United States, learning the lesson, has continued the aid "'ever since, shifting to backward countries as time passed.

4. The west suffered a smashing blow in 1948 when Communists grabbed Ctzechoslovakia

-from within and Stalin tried to steal West BerUn with a blockade. The United States couldnt help Czechoslovakia, but it rescued Berlin with an airlift.

In that same shocking year the Senate approved putting the United States into a military alliance with Western Europe for mutual defense. Russia began to look frightening. The alliance was slpied April 4, 1949.

5. That year, 1949, was momentous by itself: The Red Chinese took over mainland China, drove Chiang Kai-shek to the island of Formosa, 100 miles off the mainland. Truman said hands off, that Chiang was on his own, wouldnt protect him.

But 1950 and the Communists changed his mind. They began the Korean War. The Red Chinese g.ot into it. The United States reacted by going to war in Korea, decUing to protect Chiang and Formosa. Its been doing so ever since.

6. Late in 1958 Premier' Khrushchev picked up where Stalin left off, threatened Berlin anew, really put the heat on in 1959, threw Into convulsions the West which didnt seem sure it wanted to hght for the city, set a six-month deadline.

In the end Eisenhower balled out the West" by inviting Khrushchev here. This calmed Khrushchev. He postponed the deadline, but didnt abandon it.

7. Those years1958 and 1959 were shockers for the United States elsewhere, closer to home, and gave It an insight into Latin America It badly needed.

In 1958 Vice President Richard M. Nixon was stoned and reviled in Latin America. With the dawn of 1959 Fidel Castro, whose sympathies with communism the United States badly misunderstood. took over Cuba, began his anti-Americanism,

This realization of the depths of discontent and Communist penetration among Its souther neighbors finally forced the United States into thinking of giving aid Continued on page five)

Other Editors Sayings... Soviet Scores In Korea

(Rocky Mount Telegram)

Gen. Douglas MacArthur said several days ago that Americas failure to win the Korean War "was a major disaster for the free world. He went further: "A great nation that enters upon war and does not see it through to victory must ultimately suffer mil the consequences of defeat.

It is ironic that this famed soldier should issue that statement when he did. The next day an announcement came from Moscow that the Soviet Union had signed a mutual defenhe treaty with Communist Nwth Korea. It could well be that this is the "consequences of defeat to be suffered by the U.S. For had the U. S. pursued an unlimited war policy in Korea there would be no North Korea Communist government today to be dealing with the Soviet Union.

As it is, the Truman Limited War policy (one of the most disgraceful schemes ever perpetrated upon American arms) now makes it possible for the Soviet to enter into any future conflict in* Korea- This means any future conflict in Korea will not likely be confined to a "brushfire type of action; indeed, it could go beyond the bounds of conventional warfare.

The policy of the U.S. during the Korean War, that of fighting only a half-hearted, half-baked type of war, now has opened the door in Korea for the Soviet Union to come in. From now on, anything we do in South Korea could be interpreted by MoscoMir as being detrimental to the welfare of North Korea, which Russia had "pledged ho support, In short, Korea could become the new tinderbox

of the cold war.

Nikita Khrushchev, in signing the mutual defense treaty with Nol|th Korea, said such action was necessary because of Western "resistance to easing world tensions. He said the treaty was aimed at countering a "growing threat of aggression from South Korea. He also pictured the East-West quarrel over the future of Berlin as a factor.

Washington officials apparently were caught by surprise over the Soviet deal. Some observers feel it reflects a deepening of the rift between Moscow and Red China. The treaty provides for mutual aid in the event of an armed attack (meaning Russia will help the North Koreans If the latter stage another sneak attack on South Korea) on either the Soviet Union or North Korea.

With the signing of this treaty, which is one of the most significant moves made by the Communist bloc since 1950, President Kennedy finds himself with still another major foreign policy headache. Prom now on his woes in the Far East will be multiplied. Any move made by American or United Nations forces in Korea will be the subject of loud blatherings on an International scale by the Moir cow propaganda organs.

Laos, Cuba and Berlin have been in the spotlight so far; these crises must now move over and make room for one that could be potentially as dangerous and fraught with peril as any of the previous three. Korea could now be the timderbox held by the Reds over the anxious heads of millions of peace-loving people.

ty might cut this amount down considerably.

We had occasion to be down in Beaufort County over the weekend stnd witnessed one of the first tobacco barn fires of the season. The fire occured Saturday afternoon at the M.C. Paul farm on the Yeatesville-Pamlico Beach Road,

The barn, which was full of the first pulling of tobacco from 14 acres, was valued in the neighborhood (rf $1500 while the tobacco in it was valued between $500 and $600. Of course, the bam ^an be replaced, but the tobacco cannot.

If it had not been for the quick action of the Belhaven Volunteer Fire Depu4ment Mr. Paul would probably have lost a shed and a second barn as weU. Water to fight this fire came from a small mud-hole which was full because of the recent heavy rains in the area. Most summers it would have been dry.

To a rural fire department extra water is a necessity. Their trucks cannot carry enough water to fight a fire without having to go back for a refill. Of course we cant say enough for the good which they do. However, if at all possible it is a good idea to have a pond or some water supply nearby.

One other thing which we should not forget to mention is the fact that Mr. Paul had no Insurance on his bam or cwi-tents. He attributes this fact to the unusually early harvesting which this summers wet weather caused. He just had not taken out a policy yet. We hope the many tobacco farmers in Pitt county wont be caught without insurance. You never know when you need It.

Another thing to remember is to check all of your curing equipment before using it. Fuel leaks and mal-adjustments can occur during the time the bam is not in use and could add to the fire danger. It Is also a good idea to check a bam several times a day when the curers are in (^ration. This little bit of effort could save you a great deal.

Karl Marx antieipated the permanent war in ttie vary nature of tbe class struggle, the racial struggle, |he death of imperialism. Lenin said:

The means combatting --inr are not a strike against war, but the formation of revolutionary nuclei in the combatant armies, their training for the purpose of twinging about revolution.

Admiral Zacharias, in his study of Russian policy and its effect upon the United States, entitled "Behind Closed Doors,* and published in 1950, wrote:

"This means that Bolshevik Russia wants war because the revolution is not possible without war and Russias survival la not possible without world revolution. But this also means that Bolshevik Russia wants war on its own terms and will unleash it only when those term are secured and the jwecondi-tions of the *just war art fully assured. On this grand theory of war is based SMallns own operational master plan. From it developed his world revolutionary theory, the Stalin doctrine.** Zacharias was perhaps our * principal intelligence offlcr and was, quite naturally, not taken too seriously because he knew what he was talking about. The Stalin doctrine was clearly Wue-jMinted in his works and despite Khrushchevs denunciation of Stalin diffing the 20th Congress, the Stalin doctrine Is the guiding principle of Soviet c<duct at the present time. According to Stalin, the World War had to have three stages:

1. The socialist war led by Soviet Russia. This effort has been remarkably successful and has now spread to every continent. Its influence upon the intellectual classes in all countries has been enormous, particularly in the weak and badk-ward countries.

2. The Imperialist war, led by the Anglo-Americans. Stalin expected that this would involve Soviet Russia in major difficulties. As a matter of fact, both Great Britain and the United States compromised with Stalin, giving up point after point iand getting nothing in return. Besides, the British and Americans became involved in basic differences, such as the recognition of Red China and the Suez Canal fiasco. Also, the British could no longer control their dominions and Commonwealth countries, as for instance, Canada, which Imperils the American policy concerning Red China and Cuba. The Anglo-American leadership has not proved to be a stumbUng block against Soviet Russia; it has indeed been only moderately successful.

3. The third phase that Stalin foresaw was the colonial wars the uprising of the colored peoples who would seek political and social equality. Stalin dould not have foreseen that the United States would risk impoverishment by the Marshall Plan and other aids in an effort to assist the weak and backward natioQs to establish themselves as independent states. While the United States has not been altogether successful in this effort, it has nevertheless impeded the ability of Soviet Russia to take advantage of the wasteful strife which Inevitably arose as these small countries emerged to equality.

The Stalin doctrine remains the oontrolling factor in Soviet planning and thinking. The revolution can only succeed by the clash of contending interests. A placid, oonfcnming people do not engine In revolution, A frightened people do not engage in revohiticii although they may plot in underground.

Khrushchevs policy of co-ex-istcnce has been rejected by other Communist leaders, particularly by Mao TaeHung of China and quite rightly eo. In a prolonged period of oo-cxist-enoe, the ptdl wlU be in the direction of modified capitalism. This trend is already appearing in Soviet Russia. Opitalism. in any form, tends to lead in the direction of individualism, to the rights of man over the autlMMlty of the state. For Red China, (OMtinued on page live)

How To Deal With The Grapevine

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS THE PRICE IS HIGH

The statement is sometimes made by people who ought to know, that more people suiiered martyrdom for the.lr Chrl.stlan faith In the twentieth century than in any previous century. Most people have assumed that (Christians were cast to the lions by the hundreds in the Roman amphitheatre, also that through the centuries people have died by the tens of thousands for their faith. This appears not to be entirely accurate.

At least we can be well assured that persecution for ones Christian faith has not ceased to exist. It not onl* occurs in the world today; right in our own country the pressure of ridicMle and social ostracism is often brought to bear upon people who stand up for what

they believe to be right. Salvation is the gift of Ood. It is completely and absolutely free. It can never be bought or worked for. God gives It out of the fullness of His grace. Yet there is a way In which salvation Is the most costly thing in the world. We have to pay for It by a willingness to sacrifice and endure.

Pe(H>le often receive a great shock when they find themselves looked down upon by neighbors or associates because of something they are doing which by every standard of religion and ethics is precisely the right thing to do.

Endure any Inconvenlencf or even suffering which is involved in doing the right thing. Christian character and a clear Conscience are worth what they cost.

Trying to eliminate the grapevine makes no more sense than throwing away a typewriter because of a misspelled word, Keith Davis, chairman of the Dement of Management, Arizona State University, writes in the July issue of "Supervisory Management.

"The grapevine Is only an Informal system of spreading information; it is , not in itself responsible for the information vacuum that leads to unfounded rumors. he added.

"Once the idea of uprooting the grapevine has been abandoned. the alterhatlve is clear: to influence tt for the benefit of the departments goals.

"One of the supervisors most potent weapons for this purpose is preventive action. False rumors can spread through the company with the speed .and devastation of a summer storm This makes it difficult to kill t rumor once It's started Its more effective to create a climate that will discourage false rumors from the beginning.

"Pradqxlcally, the grapevine thrives on a lack of real information. False rumors are usually widespread in Ipw-morale groups that do not get enough

accurate, complete facts from management.

OPERATES THROUGH CLUSTERS

Prof. Davis reported In the American Management Association magazine that studies show the grapevine Is seldom a vine in form; instead, it operates through , clusters. One Informer tells three or four others. Only one or two of these will pass the Information along, but each to several others. "The transmission gradually dies out because those who receive the information dont repeat it

He also concluded that if on grapeviner is cut off from sources of Inside information, another person will take his place "A grapevine is more of the product of the situation than of the person.

In one company, he reported, "the chief grapevine link between two offices was a secretary in one office who went to the other office every day to pick up reports. In another compxny. the link was an accounting clerk who telephoned another department every morning to get cost data. The switchboard operator, obviously, is often the center of a communications net.

HOW TO VIEW VINE.

' Mr. Davis offered this guidt to executives for dealing with the grapevine;:

1. Accept the . grapevines existence.

2. Understand how the grapevine operates in your company.

3. Prevent false rumors by supplying employees with all the information they should have.

4. Get the facts fast to the key communicators on the grapevine.

5. If a rumor gets started, deal with it as soon as possible.

6. Look for the reason behind the rumor, to get Clues to employee gripes and misconceptions.

He concluded: "Since people are people, every supendsor is faced with the challenge of learning to live with the organization thats not on the chart.

"First, he should accept its existence. Then he should get to know Its structure, its attitudes, its goals.

"Finally,' we should direct his

efforts toward turning It into a positive force that will contri-, bule to a productive', cooperative department
