DISTRIBUTION - A quick glance at this list will disclose that while one fourth of the

counties furnished all emors, they came well disUlbuted areas state. The only sections not represented are the extreme southwest and the far northwest. Another notewcMrthy fact is that whe the big metropolitan counties furnished a few governors, and several of the very small counties are In the list, moet of the executives came from middle size counties. A further interesting item is that a sub-stai^ial number of the governors attained prominence and leadership in adopted counties, rather than in their native bailiwicks.

The town of Wiilterville is setting a pace of Civil Defense preparedness which sets an excellent example for other communities, large and small, in Pitt County.

From all outward signs, the community of Win-terville has taken the matter of Civil Defense pre-paredness more seriously than any of the other communities in Pitt County. The most recent example of this is the announcement that courses in home nursing and first aid are now being offered in Winterville and citizens of the community have responded to fill

the classes to capacity.

The response to the home nursing course was sufficient to warrant not one, but two courses of this kind. It is the kind of individual response on the part of citizens which gives community preparedness sufficient depth to cope with emergencies if they should

come. In far too many communities the matter of pre- _

Gov- paredness is left to a relatively few people who are xrTx^m a vt

primarily responsible for setting up the organization. By ALVIN TAYLOR In Winterville, however, the preparedness program

CONFLICTS A good deal has been aald about the conflict of dates of the North Carolina State Fair at Raleigh and the North Carolina Trade Pair at Charlotte In mid-October. Football fans are complaining about big college games at Chapel H1, Durham and Winston-Salem falling on the same Saturdays. But for a real mixed up confusion of meetings of related-interests groups, take a look at the first week in October.

The State Board of Conservation and Development and the Travel Council of North Carolina planned meetings at the same time in Winston-Salem. There Is no actual conflict, rather cooperation; yet it will be necessary for some people to miss one meeting in which they are Interested because of obligation to attend the other.

The Quality Restaurants Association and the North Carolina Bottlers Association are important segments of the Travel Counciland both these groups have annual meetings scheduled at the same time. Also the Motion Picture association has an important session on October 1-2.

Welcoming ceremonies for the Battleship North Carolina had to be postponed from the original September 18 date on account of hurricanes, tides, ocean currents, et cetera. That event currently Is scheduled for October 1. And October 1 is the date Governor Sanford, administrative officials and board members of the C&D department. wUl have to be In Winston-Salem for their official meeting^ ,

In our complex and fast moving society conflicts are unavoidable. It does look like the first week in October this year offers more than usual number of overlapping dates for groups of people Interested mainly In the same basic matters.

WASHINGTON (AP) One of the troubles with sending a boy on a mans eirand Is that be doesnt have long pants.

This may be the trouble in the United Nations In picking a successor to Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold, killed this week in an African plane crash.

If the successor isnt given his full title and full authority, or 1 chosen In an unauthorized way, he may feel too enfeebled to act when action is needed.

Such a result would be a victory for Premier Khrushchev who has sought to Intimidate the secretary-general and even abolish his job.

Yet the U.N. members may feel such a conditiona temporary compromise to postpone an American-Russian showdownis the only alternative to chaos.

Hammarskjold acted so quickly with UJ. forces during last last summers Congo crisis that he frustrated Russias attempt to get its hooks into the area.

Khrushchevs reaction was fierce and quick.

First, he wanted HaiAmarsk-jold fired. Then he wanted to abolish the job of secretary general and replace it with tlu'ee secretaries-general.

This had such a gimmick It took gall to propose. Under this plan any one of the three sm-retaries could veto anything the others wanted to do.

And one of the three would have to represent the Communist bloc. So, in any crisis created by Moscow, the veto would render the United Nations helpless to act.

Hamnmrskjold not only rwus-

skjoki was killed there seemed one possible way to prostpone a Showdown temporarily, provided Russhi was willing.

That was to pick someone to serve out Hammarskjolds unex-plred term. This might involve a compromise to pacify Russia temporarily, at least.

For instance: The new man, instead of being given Hammarskjolds full title as secretary-general, might be given a diluted title, like acting secretary, director or something else.

Some U.N. members, particularly Ireland,and Norway, got busy on that idea Thursday. But, of course, there was a problem which had been there all along.

Under the UJi. Charter the libation Security Council must recommend to the 99-nation General Assembly a man for secretary general.

Then the assembly must approve. Butthis but is a beaut the United States and Russia both sit on the Security Council And both have a veto.

So either could prevent any recommenctotion from going to the General Assembly by vetoing any recommendation. Thats right where the choas could be-gln.

To get around this, some of the smaller nations are thinking of by-passing the Security Council by having the assembly itself approve a Hammarskjold successor.

This is treacherous ground because there is no provision in the chartar for anything like this. The charter says the Security Council recommends to the assembly first and then the assembly aWJroves, if it wants

Nothing is more ignored than a canceled stamp. On a letter the recipient seldom glances at the stamp, unless the letter comes from a foreign land.

Generally he tears Into the envelope, disgorges its contents and then discards the envelop, stamp and all.

Or so it would seem. Obviously though. people look at the front of the envelope more than one might think. At least the metered mail that comes Into the Reflector office would indicate this.

Metered mail is the kind that prints the amount of postage right on the envelop. Firms using this method buy a measured amount of postage on a meter pre-set at the post office. When this runs out they go back and buy more.

But along with the postage, the meter folks figured out that they cckild print an advertising message at the same time with litUe additional cost. So they seU such plates to meter users as an added benefit.

Thus all kinds of little messages come through the mails

every day. In addition to the obvious use by companies with commercial products for sale, various government agencies and other associations make use of this medium. .

Thus the North Carolina Department , of Agriculture urges Its letter recipients to: Plan now to attend your North Carolina State Fair, Oct. 16-21 Raleigh.

The Greater Myrtle - Beach Chamber of Ckxmmerce advertises World safest beach, Americas finest strand.

The Textile Information Service office in CJbarlottc points to U. S. Textiles. Working for a better America.

The Southern States Industrial Council carries the slogan The voice of the Conservative South.

And while the Department of Agriculture is pushing the State Fair, the State Board of Health carries the slogan Go North Carolina Trade Fair, Oct. 12-21, Charlotte.

The Baptist State Convention of North Carolina says. The Biblical Recorder in every Bap

tist Home.* ^

Mount Olive Junior College points to itself as A Christian college for men and women. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States calls for Progress through voluntary action and freedom.

The United States backed Hammarskjold. opposed Khrushchevs plan for three secretaries-general and insisted there slwuld be only one.

Nothing happened. And nothing was expected to happen until April 1963 when Hammarskjolds term would expire and his job would be open. So the showdown was postponed.

Hammarskjolds death with two years of his vmexplred term remaining made a showdown immediate. if Russia wanted it that way.

That they want it was indicated Thursday in New York when Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko spent four hours with Secretary of ikate Dean Rusk.

When the meeting broke up reporters were given to understand that Russia Intends to press for three U.N. secretaries.

From the moment Hammar-

vayeven if only temporarily and with such a half-baked titile as acting secretary or director, neither of which is provided for In the charterwould be In a kind of sick position

from the start.

This would be true, of course, only if Russia opposed but was outvoted in the assemb^.

Any Hammarskji^ replacement, unless picked with both American and Soviet approval, may find himself a helpless no-, body unauthorized to do anything except sign his staff's paychecks.

Quote

In the not too distant future It may be entirely possible that all telephone conversations, orig-nating from or going to feder^ agencies will be tapped, monitored, recorded, taped or overheard. In fact, such practices are quite common now. Of course, we recognize such tactics as the kind used for the most part in a poUce state such as Nazi Germany or Communist Ru^ia. One would not connwt such underhanded activity with a popularly-elected government such as our own.

Yet, that is what has been happeiaing, and its getting worse. What is the reason for this? Well, many government agencies dont bother to give an excuse. Others claim its done In the name of efficiency, though it is never explained how tapped phone lines increase efficiency.

The House Government Information subcommittee launched a survey of telephone monitoring (a poUte word for eavesdropping or spying) practices of 37 major government agencies and came up with some surprising and foreboding information. About 33 of the 37 agencies tap lines. Most of the skulduggery. it was found, was go

ing on in the Welfare Department.

The report by the subcommittee noted that most agencies rationalize their dirty work as an aid to efficiency. But when monitoring is done secretlyas Hitlers stooges did, and as Khrushchevs stooges now doit becomes eavesdropping and spying. and the bureaucracy is sacrificing principle on the altar of efficiency. One wonders, however, whether anybody connected with these big-eared agencies really believe telephone espionage Is done for the sake of ef-iieicney.

No matter what the excuse there is something mean, scurrilous, sneaky and unprincipled in a government officials arranging for a secretary, or a recording machine, to eavesdrop on telephone calls- More and more it is noted that such telephone spying is done without the knowledge of the other party.

The disturbing thing here is that obviously the government officials see nothing wrong with this practice. There are indications of a dangerous drift toward a huge bureaucracy peering over the shoulder of the private citizen. More and more there are Indications that the era of Big Brother government has arrived.

The Germans are intoxicated with their phjrslcal well-being. They develop great virtues In times of trial and scarcity, but as soon as the larder is full they lose all sense of proportion and kick over the traces. German economic minister Ludwig Erhard.

Petrov makes the point tlmt since 1948, there has been no marked khift from favoring Russia to tevarlng the United States. Note must be taken of the attitudes of Nehru'and Nasser at the Belgrade Conference which might Indicate a wearlneaa with Khrushchev.

On the other hand many of the countries which we assumed were pro-Westwhich Uterally means pro-United States, actually lean toward Russia.

The admission of Red China Into the United Nations might be regarded as a test of Communist strength in the United Nations. Petrov says of this::

. .the elevation of Communist China to a role as one of the guardians of intematlcBial

peace and security in the Security Council would automati-oaUy liKjrease the dangers to the Independents of countries like south Korea, the PhdUpptoes, South Vietnam, Laos, Malya, or Thailand. Their shaky regimes would feel abandoned and might well fall easy prey to pressures emanating from the most powerful nation of the region, even if the Clnese Communists did not resort to overt aggression. The pro-Westem governments of tbeee countries might, for a short tim, give place to neutralist ones as a stage before landing in the Communist camp. The United Nations, quite clearly, could do nothing to prevent this from happening. In other word.s, oiw more groim af'nations would lose their independence, and Chtna woukl acquire a b^ of satellites in tiie Soviet frtshion.

Obviously. Petrov is oarrect, for we are already witnessing process in Laos and in addition we are witnessing the astonishing effort to turn the Congo hito a Oammunist state. Is this effort associated with the death of Dag Hammarskjold? Was his a political mur* der or an accident?

There are some who believe that Soviet Russia would be weakened if stepa were taken to please Red China. No Communist has quarrelled with the Kremlin more vltdently than Tito, but when it comes to vot ing in the United Nations^ugo-slavla generally goes along with Soviet Russia on basic questions. The reason Is that tor a Com-muntet it is Importaat the fundamental Marxiam nuast not fall. Intramural quarrels must not be permitted to strengthen (Ccutinued on Page 6)

'i^ise Despite JFK Plea

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS THE ISSUES OF LIFE

When an Intolerable situation arises in almost any aspect of life, the reaction frequently voiced is We ought to have a law.

Certainly we need laws, and the more compUcated life becomes the more law we need. There are many today who believe that we have too many laws. They may be right or they may be wrong. But one thing la sure, namely, that we have to have more laws as our social and national life becomes more complex.

We mould, however, face the fact that necessary as laws are they never reaUy eiUe any U-, sue. We are told In the Bible that out of heart proceed the Isues of lift. Out of the heart

proceed Ufes issues and in the heart lifes issues are settled.

As a man thinks so he is. The otUcome of Ufe is >4ip to us. We cannot pass the responsibility for living over to some law no matter how good that law may be.

Usually when we want to call upon the enactment of law to solve some problem we confront, it is because we are not willing to roU up our sleeves, turn the brain up to high speed, and get to work. Nothing can ever be settled for us. If we have no part in the solution of a problem we have no part in the beneflU this solution confers. Not by a new law nor by government intervention are we going to arrive at a succeasj. but

Steel prices will rise. They will go up despite the urging of President Kennedy that the 12 biggest companies hold the Une.

. However, the Pces wUl be neither as high or as broad as originally intended. That much President Kennedy has gained.

The October I rise in wages makes it almost imperative for the steel companies to get some increases. It they did not they would face stockholders suits alleging mismanagement. The President asked us not to, is no defense of aotions that dissipate capital.

Furthermore, the steel companies are in a position in which they must chaUenge the White Houses right to unllater-aUy fix prices. So to maintain solvency and to maintain the right of free enterprise, the steel companies wlU' have to increase

But because they will be un-ler official and public scrutiny, these Increases wUl be cautious; they will not be posted unless etch company is prepared to defend each increase at the bar of public opinion.

FIGHT FOR SALES Here are other look-aheads in business, based on analyses of current developments;

Big car-ad drive: Because the 1962 market looks better tiian the 1961, auto makers will step up the advertising battle for sales. The stuggle begins this week end in many papers.

New Christmas high; Perking prosperity is causing many retaUers to plan for new high in Christmas sales this year. Orders are being stepped up apd more flamboyant advertising is

on the boards. _

More mergers; *rhe coming Ford acquisition of Philco wUl stir merger talk among other auto makers. It underscores the iiriportanc to dlverslfteatlon. If you cant seU them an auto, seU

them a toaster!__

CIIARGE-IT M)RGERS

Fewer credit cards: Plans to merge Diners Club and Htn credit card operations wUl also cause more mergers and, more significantly, help speed sni^ler credit-card operators out of business.

Vendors are tired of the variety of credit cards. A restau*

rant, after having qualified to accept six different kinds of cards, is often confronted with a seventh of which it knows nothing. SmaU card (xxnpanies are finding times difficult. Some lay there may be (Mily two or three big card companies.

Costlier money: Industrial expansion, slgnaljfr be the rise in defense spending, is increatig demand for borrowings, and this wiU tend to boost interest rates. A rise In the next few months is likely.

Firmer chentical prices; For a variety of reasons, prices of many basic chemicals bav aagg-ed. However, the defense step-up is Increasing demand and firmer prices are ahead.

I.oager shopping hours: The struggle between department stores and discounters and city and suburban retaUers is tending to make shopping hours longer, especially since Tush hiUlday

shopping is ahead. Night openings will start earlier this year and. where laws permit, there will be more Sunday selling.

NEW YORKERS PAY $19

MILLION FOR |10 MILUON 1 IN ROADS

The Old Promoter came in to-di^, uninvited, and told us about a trip through New York State. "Passed a big highway extension job, he said, and a sin said that the state was paying only 10 per cent of the cost.

I imagine those slick New Yorkers thing that they are getting a $10 mUlkm. highway job for only $1 million doUara. Well, the oth^ ^ millioa must come from someplace, so it comes from New Yorkers and others who pay income taxes to Federal government

But New Yorkers have a ~ per capita Income about twice the people in, says, Arkansas. And since the mwre the income, the higher the tax rate. It looks as if New Yorkers were paying ll million in state taxes and about 118 million more in Federal Inoonne taxes for that $10 mUlion highway job

If Treasury Secretary C. Douglas Dillon or CcMnmerce Secretary Luther H. Hodges have any facts to refute the Old Promoter; ru be glad to print them.
