Always Ready to 'Negotiate*

Well Keep Psychological Advantage

President Kennedys order for the Uhited JSefM to resume the testing of nuclear devices, but^liimtuig euch teste to underground explosions and laboratory testa, suggests at least two importwt factors^

It must be presumed that the President and military officials have concluded that the United States has ample strength in big nuclear weapons not to be concemtd immediately with further testing of these devices

It must also be presumed that the United States hopes to retein the propaganda dvantege it now has by hammering the fact its nuclear tests will not add rydioactivt contami^tion to the atmosphere as have the Soviet tests in the current series.

The Presidents announcement that he has ordered resumption of nuclear testing in the United States indicates these tests will pfimarily be aimed at nuclear weapons of limited scope that could be employed in

a limited war

Jba in ihfflclontiiumber to carry out any desired Wh* taiiatory action in case of an all-out nuclear war. Certainty these leaders would not have agreed to limiting the scope of U.S. testinij: if there were reason to believe that the Soviets had surpassed the U.S. in the development of huge nuclear devices.

By limiting the tests m he has done, the President has afforded the United States with a continuing propaganda advantage in that our teste will not increase amount of radioactive material in the atmosr phere. Increased radiation in the atmosphere already has been registered as a result of the first three Soviet explosions in recent days.

The United States will receive criticism front some quarters for ending its own moratorium on nuclear testing; but as the President said, . . W must now take those steps which prudent men find essential. The United States, through these tests, apparently will seek to strengthen what many belir- -to be the weakest point in its defense posture ... the improvement of weapons with which to fight limited wars effectively.

If that is the case, it follows the previous shift of U.S. military strategy toward the build-up of its forces that are capable of participating in small, brush-fire wars rather than all-out liucl^ar

highly doubtful that the President would |Ur-.-, RllQltieSS-Like

have specifically limited the nuclear tesU' to under- lYIOrG DllSlllCDB UAXVC

ground explosions and laboratory blasts if there were any doubt on the part of high military leaders that this nation has big nuclear devices of sufficient power

.og Of A Labor Day Road Trip

By LYNN NI8BET

DAYS TRIP The log of a tSO mile trip (165 miles each way) on Labor Day may have some general Interest. In the firat place, the Idea of Uravellng on Labor Day was not attractive. The trip waa undertaken solely because of Interest in the Cancer Society benefit rodeo at Love Valley. It turned out to be a very pleaaaot day.

Advinca^ieara that we would aeeWhS roadside cluttered with wrecks, and maybe participate m one of em, proved grouna-lesa. We saw only one accident and it was very minor. One car had xdowed Into the rear of another Just a few feet ^yond where US 64 branches off from US I near Apex. A patrolman waa on the scene and there was no sign of personal Injury nd not much property damage.

Prom that point on to Love VaUey and back we saw four other patrolmen. Three were patrolling the highways at routine peed, but one went by at what we estimated to be at least 90 miles an hour. No Idea what the occasion for hurry was. (The we includes the boss lady of the house who among other good Qualities is an feXcelTnt driver.)

We tried to stay within legal speed limits, but confess exceeding the tolerance (?) in some instances. We passed two passenger cars, one pick-up and two pieces of tractor-drawn fa^ machinery. We didnt count the

nunibcr of cars that ^ed us. but estimated more than 300

about one a mile.

Slightly more than half the cars had lights burning, although a good many had wily the parking lights onwhich was only tt^en compliance. (Heres a glnunkk to remind you to cut off your ghts In day time: Punch a bole in a piece of paper and hang it on the light switch.)

LOVE VALLEY The goal for the trip was Love VaUey, situated in the hilly semi-moun-tainous country about halfway between Statesville and WUkes-boro, fdicre Andy Barker and his associates have developed a combination of a western cattle town and rodeo corrals wha*e bronco-busting, buU-ridlng. calf-romping and ctther entertainment features are presented during the summer. Proceeds from all activities there over the past weekend were donated to the American Cancer Society, and HoUywood cowboy stars Bob Carson and Rex Allen came to perform.

The corrals and action arena is at the foot of a hill which lends Itself readily to adaptlMi as a stadium, and rows of stone seats are being installed. On top of the tUU is the replica of a Western cattle town of 19th century vintage. Although not more

than half finished, the town has the appearance of mature old age.

CHOST TOWN Just a few weeks ago your r^rter had occasion to pay a very brief visit to Ohoet Mountain, and mulU-milUon dollar development above Maggie Valley in Haywood county, promoted by R B. C^um and associates. The contrast is interesting and striking.

In its three separate villages the Ohost Mountain project emphasizes the violence of the Old West. Hourly performances are given by skilled actors in battles between lawmen and bank robbers, between Indians and whites, and among new-rich miners in town after hitting it rich. It is authentic history of a part of the Old Westand in less than three months operation the Ghost has attracted nearly a quarter million of visitors. It Is a fast-moving combination of old west violence and modern business promotion.

CONTRAST Whether or not there is significance in the names, Love Valley does not feature violence. It offers the story of the peaceful and restful activities of cowboys and horsemen. Perhaps that explains in part the slowness of the development here In the edge of the Brushies as contrasted with the fast action in the e^e of the Smokies.

Different as they are, both projects have the virtue of authentic presentation of an important phase of our national history. And that brings up a question to whidh those concerned with the promotion of travel and tourism in North Carolina are seeking an answer. It is a question of basic policy with respect to State advertising.

POLICY With Just enough exceptions to prove the general rule, it has long been the policy of North Carolina that the State would not spend tax money to publicize privately owned profit moUve attractUms. That policy has ipcluded pn^MUon against accepting paid advertisements by these phvate profit enter-lu'iaes in State publications, even when revenue tram such advertisements would reduce the taxpayers cost ft* printing.

Honesty compels the State to recognize such privately owned attraction as Blowing Rock, Chimney Rock and Grandfather; Blltmore and Orton, and the avallabillty of fishing piers and marines, et cetera; as well as such publicly owned attractions as the Blue RWge Parkwayr, Halteras Seashore, Tryon Palace, et cetera.

Since the State cannot honestly ignore these private attrac-ons, why not bring them into full cooperation for an overall all-out promotion effort? mmssaaBssauassasmBssaaa

Approach Works Well

The formula recently adopted by the Greenville Utilities Commission to determine the annual amount from utilities which would go into the city* general fund represents a much more business-like approach to the matter than the method formerly used to determine the annual turn-over to the city.

On the basis of the new formula, it has already been determined that the utilities turn-over to Greenvilles general fund during the 1962-63 fiscal year will be $5,000 more than in the current fiscal year. It means, of course, that the Utilities Commission and the city will know well in advance of budget-prepara-tion time what utility proceeds will be put into the citys general fund. It likewise means that under the new formula the growth of the utilities operations will be reflected annually in the amount of funds from this source that go into the citys operating budget.

In the past the amount of the turn-over from utilities funds to the citys general fund has been arrived at by mutual agreement between the Utilities Commission and the City Council. Usually this method meant that the two groups could not arrive at a figure until they were in the midst of their budget-prepara-

tion procedures.

The new procedure will afford the city and the Utilities Commission a better basis for their <3perations and their budget planning, and it will likewise re%ct a more realistic portion of the proceeds from utilities revenues being designated annually to be turned over to the city fot its general fund.

WASHINGTON (AP) The meeting of the 25 so-called neutral nationsthey call tlyernselv-es nonaligned ^ was more than Just nonsensaonal. It was * mixture of power, lack of power, and hypocrisy.

These 25 nations represented at the Belgrade meeting have a total population of 740 million people. So they do reinresent to some extent a broad section of world opinion when they denounce the West for colonialism or the remnants of It.

In this sense they have moral force.

But it was hypocritical for them not to denounce Russia and Red China for the same offense. They spent no time complaining about the bondage in which Russia holds the European satellites or China the Tibetans.

Speaker after speaker ex-pressed shock at the Russian decision to resume nuclear testing. But this was where their basic ineffectiveness as a group showed throughtheir fear of war between the United States and Russia and their inability to do anything about It except urge both sides not to start it.

They had a wretched time even trying to agree on a final res-oluUcm expressing the wishes of the 25. In short, at this time the 15 have a tough time agreeing among themselves.

This group, anti-colonial, is all for self-determlnaition of peoples. This Is where the hypocrisy was at Its worst when kings and prliMjes sat shoulder to shoulder with revolutionaries.

In this group were leaders who. in dealing with their own people at home, used dictaUw^ ship or worse. For Instance: Ethiopia. Ghana. Saudi Arabia, Yugoslavia.

In Yugoslavia, of course, it is the Conununlst party, under President Tito, which dominates and permits no opposition.

But the kingdoms of Ethiopia and Saudi Arabia are 0 far from psrmittlte'freedom or self--dtotrmlnatior ' for their own people that they are truly medieval In their special brands of tyranny.

Ghana, under President Nkru-mah, uses x^oe-state methods to keep the people in line.

It was India's Prime Minister

Nehru who acknowledged the inability of the nonaligned to do more than urge. He said we cannot order about great countries, or even small ones. But let us use our moral strength rightly-

The Belgrade meeting was all for disarmament. But if that is ever achieved it will hardly be the result of pressure from the 25 nations whifh got together this week.

It will be the result of a decision by the United States and Russia that if they dont disarm theyll wind up annihilating each other.

It is possible that in years to come the ranks of the 25 non-aligned nations will grow, that theyll have more In common than they do now. and that they will be able to replace some of their i^ent selfishness.

But at thia moment such a meeUnf ia hardly more than a convenient forum for some Individual leaders to sound a little nobler in theory than they are in practice.

All in all this conference wasnt much more than a fashion show where some of the small big-shots wlUi all expenses paid, could wear their fancy costumes. M(we tean half of them wore their national dress.

You may be surprised to receive this letter from a complete stranger, the letter said. We, Ryoko Yoshioka and Tomoko Shimada, are 18 years old girl and live in Sapporo, Hokkaido. Japan.

We graduated from high school this March. 1961. Since we were very little girls, we have been looking fw and interested in your country, America. We have tried to go to your country, but we have had no chance to get it, because our family 1a not quite rich enough to pay for my staying passage and we were too young to save the money.

But we wish to realize this dream, to go to your country, however hard It may be. So we are saving the travelling money.

We do wish to live, study and work as one of the members of an American family.

Other Editors Saying_______

A F^e-Lifting Needed

(Washington Dally News)

Governor Sanford has on several occasions expressed the opinion that the state ought to look into the utility laws of North Carolina.

One Utilities commissioner, Thomas Eller, has declared the utility laws remind him of a house begun a century ago to which has been added many separate rooms over the years all without any blueprint and without planning.

People of North Carolina certainly realize that it is difficult for any Utilities commission to operate efficiently under an outmoded system and under outdated laws.

However, if it comes to a choice between an outmoded system operated with highly skilled and capable personnel and a modem system operated by men who ar not so skilled and not so capable, we prefer the skilled and capable men together with the outmoded system.

It has been our thinking for a long time that the North Carolina Utilities commission Is not as sensitive to the public interests as it should be. A little man ought to have the same opportunity to approach the commission wiyi a problem that a big company has. Yet. it is our present opinion that this is not the case. We know of an elderly colored man who wrote the commission with what we consider legitimate <iom-plaint. He never even received an answer.

The people of North Carolina

are greater than any one company or combination of companies. The utilities commission is not there to represent the interests of utilities companies any more than they are there to represent the people of North Carolina-

If somehow we could transform a UtUe thinking on the commission to the point that the members would be as sensitive to the wishes of the people as they are to what m?pears to us to be the complaints of utilities companies, then a major improvement in the commission would be realized even under operations now with an obviously outmoded system.

We believe the present commissioners to be capable and honest men. Not for one me-ment would we ever doubt those qualities. But honrat and capable men can lack a spirit dedication and thus not be of the full service to the people normally expected from such a group.

The work and decisions of the Utilities commission affects the lives and pocketboc*a of all North Carolinians. It is one of ^ most important bodies in the Slate government.

What the state might do profitably is to streamline the op-eratlonal procedures and Impress upon the coanmlssioners that they are there to serve all the people of this great statethe humble as well as the proud.

The state should hot let the initial effort toward Streamlining die. This is too Important to let alone.

Meanwhile locally the gas wax continues unabated. Lowest price is still 19.9 as it has been for several days. Speculation was that it would rise Tuesday morning following the Labor Day holiday. But it didnt.

One 19.9 station reported a man drove up. filled up and asked if he could buy a barrel.

We dont have them, the station attendant replied. But if you get one well be glad to fill it up.

The driver left only to return a short time lata*. He opened the boot. There were 16 soft drink syrup one gallon Jugs.

Pill them up. he said and ptiitinn -fih]lgixi,r

But the clincher was then the station attendants learned the man had bought the Jugs from the drug store. Cost: 10 cents each. This, of course, meant that he had 29.9 cents Invested in each gallon. Thrift, its wonderful.

Soviet Stanc. n 43

By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKT Reading the Teheran Papers provides an opportunity to zee the Soviet technique of defeating the purposes of other nations. As early as May 5, 1943, Roosevelt wrote to Stalin to say that he thought it would be a smart thing for Stalin. Churchill and Roosevelt to meet, perhaps at Khartoum In Africa or someplace on either side of the Bering Straits, to talk things over.

Stalin did not object to a meeting but said to Joseph E. Davies, who was in Moscow, teat the Second Front was very importp ant. He said that he was unable to go too far from the Russian Front. Churchill thereupon suggests Scape Flow in ScoUand as a good meeting place, but Stalin turned that down.

It 80<m becomes clear that the only place StaUn would go to was Teheran. Roosevelt pointed out that that was very inconvenient for him because when Congress is in session, he is required by the Constitution to be available to sign or veto leg-iriaUon with 10 days of passage. This Stalin ignored altogether, Averell Harrlman, who was at that time in London, writes Roosevelt a long letter explaining the situation which read in 1961. is most astonishing. I give here on paragraph;

. .1 am a confirmed optimist in our relations with Russia because of my conviction that Stalin wants, if obtainable, a firm understanding with you and Ammca more than anything glseafter the destruction of Hitler. He sees Russias reconstruction and security more sountly based on it than on any alternative. He is a man of simple purposes and, although he may use devious means in attempting to accomplish them, he does not deviate from his long run objectives.

Anyhow, the correspondence goes on month after month. In a letter from Roosevelt to Star lin, dated October 14, 1943,

Roosevelt says:

The problem of my going to the place you suggested is becoming so acute that 1 feel I should tell you frankly that, for constitutional reasons, I cannot take the risk. The Congress will be in session. New laws and resolutions must be acted on by me after their receipt and must be returned to the Congress physically before ten days have elapsed. . .The plx;e ycKj mentioned is too far to be sure that the requirements are fulfilled. This plea leaves Stalin cold. Roosevelt suggests Cairo, Asmara, shtos lying in the Mediterranean, Baghdad, Basra before Stalin had already said that it must be Teheran. So that settled it. There is not use talking alx>ut alternatives. On October 21, 1943,, Roosevelt writes to Secretary of State Cordell Hull, who was toen in Moscow:

I have received a message from toe Marsh^ stating that it is In^tosble for him to meet ChurchiyL And me anywhere else piit in Teheran. A careful checkup on time risks and constitutional requirements here make Teheran impossible for me.

In makiny the arrangements with Stalin. Roosevelt forgot his Mend, the former naval person, -Winston Churchill and got a bawling out from'the Britisher therefore. So Roosevelt replies;

I have Just heard that U. J. will come to Teheran. I received a telegram from him five days ago which made me think he would not come even to that placethls because his advisors did not wish him to leave Rus-aian soil.

The U. J. referred to in these messages is Uncle Joe Stalin. Apparently the cognomen Uncle Joe proved to be useful as well as amusing and is employed throughout when reference is ^de to the benevolent dicta-

Roosevelt, meanwhile, had arranged for General Cihiang Kal-ahek to meet him and Churchill In Cairo. As Roosevelt and Churchill were going from Cairo to Teheran to meet Stalin, there was a possibility that they might take Chlang along. Chiang was toe ally of the United States, Great Britain and Soviet Russia. But already In November, 1943, Stalin was through with Chlang. So off November 12, he writes to both Roosevelt and Churchill:

It goes without saying that In Teheran a meeting of only three heads of the governments is to take place as it was agreed upon. And the participation of the representatives of any other countriee must be absolutely excluded.

Not only is China excluded but France is excluded. Neither Chlang Kalrfhek nor DeGauUe trusted Roosevelt after that.

In the not-too-dlsUnt future, when your wife comes back from the local supermarket she may bring you a carton of A. It P. mterUps, Safeway klM-siaee. or Duper-Duper mentooldated gaspers. ^

Private *iarette brands have invaded toe supermarkets.

It began in earnest a few numtos ago when toe 108-store 8hop-Rite Super Markets in New Jersey and nearby areas of New York. Peimeylvanla end Delaware, introduced Shoprlgkt king-size straights and Shoprite king-size filters. The chain la planning to add menthol end regular-slze cigareUee to the line.

EVERYBODY* PEEKING

The experiment ie getting considerable attention In the advertUing and tobacco press: other supermarket chains are studying the venture closely;

cigarette Jobbera ara working on plans by which smaller chains even one-store operators, can have their own cigarettes.

The Idea U not entirely new. Several years ago A. k P. and Sears Roebuck Introduced their own private brands, although not under their own names. They did not catch cm.

But in recent years, there has been a revolution In the cigarette business. The cancer feari have caused wldeapread shifts from brtmd to brand, from itruifhtt to klnt^B, from klng-AlSBs to filters, from filters to doubtefUtera, and so on.

The Industry is in a flux. *BraAda unknown a few years ago are near the top today; old favorites are sinking lower on the salea totem poto. Brother., can you spare a Fatima? / FERTILE FIELD

This has prepared the ground for private teentia. Old loymltiee

are dissolved; new ones hava not yet set. Why not try Shop-rites? Or Joes Comer menthols? Or toe Ducky Market regulare , that light under water?

Nor need the trend stop with supermarkets. Why cant Howard Johnson's, United Cigars, Union News, toe Santa Fe, Thom McAn, Macy'z the May Company, Rexall and all the other multii^etoutlet oratniza-tioos each have their own brand?

The tobacco industry is largely reeponaibto for this phenomenon. Because of the super-markets great volume, toe tobacco companies concentrated on developing them as ouUets. Today* the larfeat zlnito outlet for CigareUee in America are toe eupennarkets. The companies built up toe markets as outlets; now the outlets are taking over.

II you are a stockholder in one ol the big tobacco com-

panlea. dont worry. Know where these chains will get their pri-vattiy branded cigarettes? From the old-linp tobacco companies that have toe machines, the know-how and, of course, the tobacco.

AFTER CIGARETTES.

UQUOR? WHAT ELSE?

If the eupennarkets can cap* ture large segments of their local cigaratte markets with private branda, what will be toa next step?

Liquor, perhaps. In a few states, where marfcata can sell liquor, private brands have been experimented with, but results so far have not been impressive. But if cigarettes can shape a new dtotributtonal pattern, toe liquor Industry may adopt it. I

There are already private brands of beer and ale, nona very good.
