For Many It Means An Education

Cheated!

East Carolina College means a great deal to Pitt County Communities in many ways, but not the least 'of these is the fact that it makes a college education possible for many Pitt County young people who probably would not receive a college education if East Carolina College were located somewhere else.

Rose High School in Greenville has over a period of years ranked at the top of high schools in North Carolina in the number of its graduates who continue their education in college. The presence of East Carolina college in Greenville is to a considerable degree responsible for this fact.

Of the 103 June graduates of Rose High School who entered college this fall, 64 have enrolled at East Carolina College. Many of these, to be sure, probably would have attended college elsewhere if East Carolina were not located in Greenville. Some of these 64, however, probably would not have been able to further their education in college had it not been for the presence of East Carolina in this community.

Many youngsters find it feasible from an economic standpoint to attend East Carolina Collega whereas they would not be able to muster the financial resources to go to college in the Piedmont or Western sections of the state.

Although East Carolina College can no longer .e considered a small college in any sense of the term, its geographic location has made it possible for many youngsters in this and other communities to receive a college education. In the past^and at present it is filling an important need for tfie people of the Eastern section of the state, and in the future it will continue to fill an ever expanding need for this section and for the state as a whole.

From the standpoint of Greenville and Pitt County, the f^ct that East Carolina puts a college education within the reach of many youngsters who otherwise would not have the opportunity to go to college, is often overlooked by individuals who consider what the college means to this immediate area.

To a lesser degree, the same thing applies in com- gl (10rQ3|0 HOP!

munities throughout Pitt and neighboring counties.

iappy Energies Were Wasted

By LYNN NISBET

HAPPY Governor Sanford and other who had part ki plans to relive impact of Hur-rican Ester arc very happy about having wasted a lot of energy and pcrhapa.oonie m<iey. They operated on the theory that it i bettor to be afe than sorry. In cominendiiig the cooperative response of all government agencies, organizations like the Red Croiss and the citizens of the threattied 'areas, Governor flanford said he was sure none of them was disappointed that ome of the protective measures were not needed. T dont think anybody was mad to find upon retumtog to the beach that the houM he had boarded up had pot blown away, he said-

The Governor with civil defense and other relief agency officials flew over the northeastern coast Wednesday to appraise torm damage. The total damage was much less than had been feared, Imt Governor Sanford emphasiaed that 1 one farmer kt his entire crop it meant disaster for him.

The hurricane alert and mobill-eation was a splended training exercise. It was much better than Just a Phony set up drill, when all particlpajits knew there was no real danger. This was the real tl^ig. The fact that there was no serious breakdown of electric power or in com-munlcatkms, does not minimize ignificance of the fact that auxiliary generators were in place and mannedand could hav been put hUo production in a matter of minutes. Self-eootatned ham radio broadcasters were ready, if they had been needed to maintain communication with the outside world.

SHELTERS Another gratifying phase of the overall hurricane episode was availability of food and shelter for residents evacuated from menaced areas. The Governor estimated that ome four thousand people found overnight sanctuary in Red Cross, civil defense and other havens Monday and Tuesday

Bights.

These shelters gave protection against the wind and the rain and the cold, but they would 4ipt have afforded any protection from nuclear fallout. TTie type of shelter for that purposes is* entirely different and much more expensive. Even so, the sponsors of nuclear falloutShelters at family level find support for their campaign in the experiences of Easterners during the recent hurricane.

8EAWELL Capitol Square folks are trying to figure the various angles in the case of Malcolm Sea well, whom President Kennedy said thta week he would not nominate for a Federal Judgeship despite his en-dfwrsement by both Senators Sam Ervin and Everett Jordan. The

President gave no reasonand is not called upon to give one for his decision. However, opinion hereabouts Is that the main reason was objection of organized labor to Seawell because of his part in prosecuting the labor rioters at Henderson three years ago. Check of the record will show Seawell had far less to do with that case than his labor opponents indicate.

This situation is reminiscent of . the 1927 incident when Labor blocked confirmation of another North Carolinian, Judge John J. Parker, for the Supreme Court. Parker survived to become the chief Judge of the Fourth Circuit Court, whose opinions were accepted by the Judiciary of the nation.

LOCAL At local or state level there was objection to Seawell for appointments as a Judge In the Middle District when he had not lived in that district long enough to establish voting residence. It appeared that this objection was raised not so much against Seawell as in behalf of another resident of the district. And besides the positive support for Judge Richardson Preyer and the opposition to Malcolm Seawell. there is involved an element of national and state politics.

Refusal to send in the name of Seawell for district Judge was the second time in one week that President Kennedy had slapped Senator Ervin. Earlier he had nominated Spencer Bell of Charlotte for a circuit Judgeship when Senator Ervin had vigorously supported Judge Will Pless for that post. It is important here to remember that Sam Ervin Is something more than Just one among a 100 senators. He is a member of the Senate Judiciary committee and chairman of the sub-commitf which must pass first upon presidential nominees for Judges and district attorneys. In twice slapping him the President must have been pretty sure of his ground.

One can argue until blue in the face that there should not be politics In Judicial appointments. It might be possible to make out a case on the record to substantiate that claim off the record.

Senators Ervin in a statement about the matter conceded that the President has full right to appoint whomsoever he pleases, and the Senator is disposed to go along with the presidential selection. It should be remembered, however, that the system of check-a n d-balance ' provides the Senate must confirm the appointment before the can asspme his duties. And it should not be forgotten that Sam Ervin is up for re-election next year, and that he is not in highest favm* with the State administration folks who are closest to President Kennedy.

Little Confidence

President Kennedy disarmament proposals that are to be laid before the United Nations offer continued hope that nations of the world may some day reach agreement on eliminating war as a means of settling international disputes. While attention is being turned again to disarmament agreement talks, however, major powers are simultaneously boosting their present military might against the possibility of war.

The Soviet Union has resumed testing nuclear weapons in the atmosphere, and the United States is carrying out smaller nuclear testa on a more limited basis.i^At the same time the United States is calling some of its reserve military units to active duty and Soviet satellite states are mounting drives to boost their number of men under arms.

Although there is probably hope at top echelons of government in the major powers that'disarmament under a satisfactory agreement may one day be achieved, there apparently is little expectation that such an agreement will be realized any time soon.

Certainly the growing number of small, uncommitted nations throughout the world will increase their pressure upon major powers to move positively in the ^ direction of disarmament. Many small nations will likewise increase the pressure on the major powers for the gift or loan of arms for their own protection as the major powers continue to strengthen their own military position and that of their closest allies.

The overall picture, therefore is one of conflicting desires, with the acknowledged immediate need of being in a position of military strength taking precedence over the desired long-range program which eventually may eliminate the need for the major military machines.

Generally the small nations have placed the blame on major powers for not bringing about disarmament but the small nations themselves have participated in the build-up of military might just as the major powers have.

Other Editors Saying... The Bullet That Blessed

By JAMES MARLOW

WASHINGrON (AP) Op-mism, that Uttlc fire burning brightly in the dark woods of the world, got rained on again. So those who insist man is too Intelligent to blow himself to blazes must still wait and see.

Talks between flhe IBiited States and Russia, not only on banning nuclear tests but on disarmament in general, have broken down. On Sept. 9 the two power* recessed their conversations on banning nuclear tests after 340 sessions in 34 months. It was about time. slnc the Soviets, after a layoff of almost three years, had already resumed testing.

Premier Khrushchev brushed aside such talk.* anyway. He said there would be no more moratoriums on nuclear tests until there was agreement on general disarmament.

For the Inhabitants of the sunny side of the street this was Indeed gloomy news but not altogether black because ever since midsummer the United State.* aJKl Russia had been holding separate talks on disarmament.

Rather, the two sidesIn sessions in Washington, Moscow and New Yorkhad not actually been discussing disarmament but only how to set up full-scale discussion on disarmament.

Then Wednesday this collapsed too. The United Sutes and Russia reported to the United Nations the complete failure of their talks on how to start Ulk-ing about disarmament In general-

Since the end of the war In

1945 the two countries have had perha.pB tbeusands of conversations on dtsarmament. Just the two of them alone or in various intematonal groups in various places. The result is still nothing.

This naturally raises some questions which, while old, arc still unanswered;

1. Does Russia really want disarmament or is it stalling until it acquires such a frightening arsenal of weapons that it can terroriie the world into sub-mission?

2. Is it to the best interest of the United SUtcs ever to disarm so long as Russia and Red CThina, with their endless resources of manpower, persist in their campaign to own the earth?

S. 1s It possible for a number of naUons to have the most modem weapoRsthe Ukilted sutes, Russia. Britain and Prance have them and Red China will soonwithout getting into war with them, by design or accident?

Only one thing is certain: Until there is a disarmament agreement, and no one is offering odds there will be. the United States and Russia will keep on trying to outdo each other in thinking up ever more nightmare weapons.

Quote

(Richmond Newa-Leader)

Members of the growing cult of non-violence on TV should all go into mourning for the demise of a childrens adventure show in which not a man was ever killed, or even wounded. The Lone Ranger, like the Phantom of the comic strips, always shot guns out of hands, thats all. And Tonto never did anything more permanently harmful than arch a lariat over some unsuspecting victim. 'They had gone now to the last round-i). After twenty-eight years of continuous network lifefirst on radio, then on TVthe Lone Ranger has hi-yo'd his last Silver and Tonto has git-um-upped his last < Scout. Old shows will be rerun in places, but no more are be-big made.

Even those who have some better way of Judging television than by a corpse-count nuy regret the fading of the Lone Ranger. The pattern of silver bullet and black mask, the mysterious legend, the magnificent white horse were figures of an heraldic simplicity on the screen. For thoee who remember it, the story of the Texas Ranger who became the Lone survivor of hla troop, was nursed back to lift by an Indian, and had to assume a mask, remains a whopping good tale. The adventures through which the Lone Ranger went his unperturbed way were stylized and ritual in their sameness. But most of the enduring folk tales are.

In fact, it is the loss of a ritual framework that makes most stories on televlsioo so meaningless. Of course, five or six hours of daily exposure t television take away the festival atmosphere, the desire for recurrence, that marks the folk drama of the pMt. Most peoples have known uie childs desire to hear the story of So-and-So again. The history of Greek literature is simply the

repetition, over and over, of the legends that clustered around Troy. Every dramatist told the same stories again and again. A pattern of expectation, of new meaning in old forms, was aroused.

Th5^ Lone Ranger was this kind of story. It had a simplicity that was unfathomable, in its narrative presentation of a silver bullet that cdways blessed, of a gun that dealt life. The right place for violence, the just use of force, the continuous fight that must be made against evil, were better taught in this tale than In the pacifists indiscriminate ban on violence. This was Americas addition to the worlds fairy tales. When some Grimm sets to work on our legends, he should spend less time than is usually devoted to the boisterous bluster of Paul Bunyan, the archetypal Ameri can business man, and study instead the cowboy legend, where our real heroes are hidden.

Even in its debased, television form, the cowboy show has a timetable of events that oae anticipates; and It is precisely this enclosure in ritual that keeps violeince from bepoBiimg virulent. An even more original pattern was developed by the early moviemakers, with their ple-in-the-face hilarity. The simple humor of the Keystone cop is'also profound, since it is inexplicable. You can explain a Bob Hope Joke. But ik> one can explain a pie in the face. That is humor at its purest and most mysterious level. It still works, as any of those know who saw Carry On. Nurse. And the English, that nation of humorists, have a continuing stage tradition of what we called vaudeville.

But enough of regrets. The Lone Ranger is gone from the childrens hour; and Newton Min-ow is providing the young with teen-age uew shows. Hows that for progress?

Court

By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKT .

Copyright, 1961, King Features Srcate, Inc.

Herbert Matthews, an editor of The New York Times and its principal correspondent in Cuba, baa written an apologia to explain away the various atr tacks made on him as a result of the Cuban fiasco. Matthews is entitled to his day in court and this book is Just that. It is his opportundty to affinn, deny, to explain or explain away various charges.

Toward the end of the bo<A appears this paragraph:

1 consider it almost an honor to be attacked by the Eastlaod-Dodd Committee, by writers like the columnist George Sokol-sky and William Buckley of the Natkmal Review, by publications like The American Legion Magazine and the Brooklyn Tablet. It such people did not attack me I would feel that there was something wrong with my work.

What he calls the Eastland-Dodd CTommlttee is the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee. This Committee has been holding Executive Sessioo hearings with regard to Cuba. As for the Natwnal Review, The American Legkm Maga^ wd the Tablet, the official publication of the Brooklyn and Ixmg Island dioceses of the Roman CJathoUc Churti, they wUl survive Matthewss eatisfactlon that they were critical of him. As for Bill Buckley and myself, we can well afford to ask Herbert Matthews to state wherein we have been tocorrect.

For what I said was that when Earl E. T. Smith was appointed Amibassador to Cuba, he was instructed to accept briefing from Herbert Matthews who Was not connected with the State Department but was a New York Times reporter. This is what Matthews has to say on the subject:

The fact that I was supposed to have briefed Earl Smith before he went to Cul came up somewhat sensationally in 1960, and especially in the Senate Subcommittee hearing which I have already mentioned. Arthur Gardner, who apparently did not approve of his successor, first testified that he (meaning me) briefed Earl Smitii.

As I. not Arthur Gardner, am responsible for first calling attention to the briefing of Smith by Matthews, wherein have I sinned? After citing Smiths testimony before the aforesaid Senate Subcommittee to the ef-GCt *

"Mr. Sourwine. Is it true, sdr, that you were instructed to get a briefing on your new Job as Ambassador to cuba from Herbert Matthews of The New York Times?

Mr. Smith. Yes, that is correct.

Mr. Sourwine. Who gave you these instructions?

Mr. Smith. William Wieland, Director of the Caribbean Division and Mexico.

There is more to this, but what is significant is that Herbert Matthews admits to the truth of Smiths testimony and if Smith was truthful, I was, lor I wrote of this, not in 1960 but in 1959. Matthews says:

Allowing for a sour note or two, this was accirate testimony. It was correct information md good advice that I gave to Earl Smith, and it was a pity that neither he nor the State Department based their policies on it."

I cannot go into the consequences of the State Department and Earl E. T. Smith not taking Herbert Matthewss advice. I, too, have been a free sdvioe-giver In my years and have also suffered the cliagiin of watching men make their own mistakes- Had they chosen to follow my advice, fate might have smiled upon them more benevolently. Herbert Matthews believes:

Newspapermen are not turned out like Fords on an assembly Une-at least, not the topflight ones. They are undqu# works of art. not cogs in a machine. When they go, others come along to do Just as good or better work, but It will be different work.

It is indeed fortunats that a man has so high an opinion of his craft and himself. Herbert Matthews apparently bellcvea that he is a unique work of art, wMch he may be, but that does not at all answer how we happened to make so many costly errors regarding Chiba, ending in such a cruel fiasco. Matthews says:

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS RELIGION AND THE STARS

What of the stars?

Yes. what of them? They are indeed practically without number. One of the worlds greatest astronomers declares that the number of heavenly bodies is a hundred thousand million billion. Try to write that on a long blackboard, but keep out of the way of the ciphers else they will crowt^ you out of the room. And remember that most of thsse bodies are suns and perhapsprobably-^ve planetary systems revolving about them. We have nine planets in our system. If every solar system had that number, the heavenly bodies would Indeed be withoui number.

Some people would have us believe that these bodies came Into being by accident. It looks to ua like a well-planned, scientific Job with a Master Mind behind It. And the !ct that the universe keeps going with other worlds and galaxies apparently in the making adds up to a bigger picture than our little minds can comprehend.

Analysis of the Antertcan replies Indicated that most executives regarded Fairfax as a general capable of winning a battle but not a war. American executives regarded him as a doctor. who once having performed an appendectomy, was no longer needed The other solutions seemed Impractical to American managers.

INDIVIDUAL A FACTOR

A business leader said. The concern about thq collectivtty is one thing; that of the individual is another. Americana seem to forget there is no collectivity without individuals.

A Caeabtanea executive said. It was normal to America for

Americans to dismiss Fairfax. In our country it would never have been necessary, for the good reason that Fairfax would never have been allowed to become the manager of the company.

Both the Americans and French were stupides. The best thing would have been to sign Jim Fairfax to a long-term contract and hire him out at a profit to other businesses in trouble.
