The Dirty Smoker

Challenges Are Part Of Our Past

Is it 80 bad to live out ones life in the face of uncertainty, peril and challenge? '

In his address at Chapel Hill, President Kennedy asserted most Americans of today are destiriid to live out theii* lives under these conditions. If his prediction proves to be true, Americans of today will live out their lives under conditions similar to those faced by other generations of free men down through the years.

Since colonial days Americans have lived in the face of uncertainty, peril and challenge. These conditions have served to make the nation what it is today; they have been part of the price free men have been re<|uired to< pay year by year for their freedom.' The lives of the colonists were full of uncertainty arid each day brought its own perils. Wringing a livelihood from the new and rugged land presented a daily challenge.

So it was with those who lived in revolutionary times when the American colonies were emerging as a new nation far across the sea from Europe. And after the new nation gained its independence, it continued to face challenges, its future was uncertain, and the perils of the years from 1776 through the early part of the 19th century were real indeed.

And what of those Americans who lived during

Not The Same Man This Time

By LYNN NISBET

KENNEDY The John Kennedy who came to North Carolina Thursday was not the same personality who visited the state on September 17 of last year, although he was the same individual, and casual glance would discover very little difference In his looks. He is a year, older according to th calendar, and a year at his time of life is not Important. The events of that year have made a, very great impact upon Kennedy, that is apparent even to casual observers.

Some of the differences in the two visits are due to factors beyond control of even the President of the United States. Last year he came as a candidate of the Democratic party for the highest office in the land ~in fact, the highest office in the world. His itinerary then was arranged by Democratic politicians with a view to geU ting the most possible favorable publicity. He reacted to the cheering and bally-hoo with boyish enthusiasm. He was the shining knight who was to lead the people into new frontiers of freedom.

He came this year not as a candidate for one party, but as the President of all the peoople. He could not criticise how others handled the affairs of nations, because he was conscious of the sobering fact that chief responsibility in the field rests upon his own shoulders. It was not an eager-beaver youth who spoke at Chapel Hill Thursday, but a mature man conscious of his obligations. And the people who heard him were not boosters for a partisan candidate, but citizens recognizing the seriousness of loyalty to their President.

For example, one of the most prominent signs in Kenan'Stadium was one proclaiming 'NC-YRC WELCOMES JFK. That was the tribute of the Young Republican Club at the University to their President.

GUARDED . The President was very closely, although often inconspicuously, guarded by the secret service men with him. They were all over the place.

Last year Candidate Kennedy had some protection, but nothing like that accorded the President this week. One little incident; A teevee announcer sought to move in closer to the President while giving a running commentary into his mike. He found that someone had stepped on the wire connecting the speaker with the recorder, and he impatiently tugged to get it loose. Then he discovered the man standing on it was a secret service fellow and that was his way of keeping the newsman from getting too close to the President.

Despite the close watch of the detectives. Kennedy slipped off to the and '^hook hands

with a dozen or two citizens, pressing against the ropes.

WEATHER Last year the weather did not cooperate fully with the candidate. He had to cancel his Asheville appearance because his plane could not land. The weather Thursday was as nearly perfect as mid-October in North Carolina can provide. Chancellor W. B. Aycock in presenting former Governor Luther Hodges reminded the audience that the weather bureau is in the Department of Commerce, over which Hodges now presides as secretary.

CROWDS EstimaUng audi-enees is a hazardous busines.t. Most estimates of attendance at the Raleigh-Durham airport range from 1500 toN^OO. There were a thousand or more fining the roadside from the airport to Chapel Hill with heavy concentration at Nelson and Lowe's Grove. The crowd in Kenan Stadium was fairly easy to estimate. It was about 30,000.

COSMOPOLITAN - The audience was about as representative of all segments of North Carolina citizenry as could be imagined. Both United States Senators and nine of the States 12 Representatives in Congress were on handalong with most of the high level officials in North Carolina government. Millionaire busines.s men and tenant farmers rubbed elbows in the crowd.

There wa.s one Instance which indicated that sometimes security measures can be carried a little bit too far. The folks planning the cavalcade from the airport to Chapel Hill borrowed several big black limousines from local funeral parlors. They were presumed to be somewhat classier than the highway patrol cars. The highway patrol offered to furnish personnel to drive the cars. The car owners and the secret service folks decided to let owner-company arlvers handle the Job. Result was one limousine got out of line, got temporarily lost on a side road, and the Presidents plane was delayed a few minutes in take-off waiting for the passengers.

the gathering storm that became the most vicious and destructive conflict in our history . . . the Civil War? Ufe was not easy for those who survived; nor was it easy for the nation to emerge from that destructive war among its own people. Uncertainty, peril, challenge . . . these were the^ order of the day for the people of those times.

And what of the Americans of today? For those who are approaching the evening years of their lives, they can count almost year-by-year the peril and the uncertainty which face their nation. The Great War that we now call World War I found many of todays senior citizens bearing arms in behalf of freedom across the* fields of France and the rest of Europe. To them, the uneasy days of the peace which followed are not messages from history books, but real and personal memories from their own experience.

Then there were the years of economic depression when uncertainty was the watchword and hunger,* despair and cold were not uncommon. Many there were who questioned whether prosperity and economic security would ever again be possible.

With the Thirties there was the emerging of a powerful Gern^n dictator who saw himself as the *man who was to become master of all Europe and perhaps the world. Again the clouds gathered not only over Europe, but from the East as well and the men and women who were part of World War I sent their sons into the battles of World War II for the same causes they thought they had secured two decades before. ,- .

In the past 16 years Americans have lived in the face of uncertainty, their.young men have faced the perils of Korea and the challenges of the Red menace in every sector of the globe.

Uncertainty, peril, challenge? These are not new to the ^American people. They are not unique to the generations of today. Since the nation was founded they have been faced succes.sfully by each succeeding generation, and the tension they have brought has become a part of life. They are part of the heritage which has made America great; a part of the tempering which make its people ,of today determined that . freedom will not be lost in this generation.

By WILLIAM L. RYAN Associated Press News Analyst

The bulky shadow of the Soviet military will hover about the 22nd Soviet Communist congress next week as It takes up u draft economic program advertised as heralding an abundant life for Soviet people within 20 years.

There are sigms that the military has placed roadblocks In the path of the program, which the Communists call a charter for humanity end a praspec-tive fatal blow to the Western way of life.

Nikita Khrushchev, the premier and party chief, himself a man with a long record as a political rather than a career general, has put up an extremely tough front for the past year.

OrJy recently, according to reliable sources. Khrushchev let the West know indirectly that he espouses vast military power and the use of that power for the aggradizcment of his own nation. Power, he is reported to have said bluntly, exists to be used and he would feel himself .derelict if he did not use it-^,Some of his remarks in private to visiting envoys are said to have been hair-raising. He is reported to have said, for example. that the United States has been accustomed to an urban and industrial civilization tor many years while the U. S -S. R. has been out of its agrarian economy only for 40, Therefore, he is represented as saying. the Russians have far less to fear from the threat of nuclear war than the Americans, who would have a much more difficult time readjusting them.selves to a more primitive way of life after the holocaust.

That sounds more like belligerent Red Chinese talk than the way Khrushchev himself appeared to feel not long ago. It all leads to suspicion that Khrushchev himself is on a tightrope and that the Berlin war scare was a necessary one for him. dictated by urgent needs to release pre.ssures from the career military and the StalinisLs.

Only a year ago this summer, when I was in Moscow, the Khrushchev plan to demobilize 2.">0,-(KM) officers and hundreds of thousands of men from a top-heavy conventional armed force was being heavily propagandized. The man power and investment Instead were to go into grandlose> programs for opening new lands, building villages and towns, developing vast undeveloped areas of the U. S.-S. R.

Indications arc that the officers didnt buy it. When the war scare was generated by Mo.scow through the Berlin crisis, the excuse existed for revoking demobilization orders, for b(;eilng up conventional forces all over again, for carrying out a long

series of nuclear weapons tests.

Pre-Congress propaganda justifies speculation that career marshals, generals and admirals have served notice on the party that the militarys entrenched position is not expendable in' any measure for the benefit of economic plans.

The tone today indicates spirited resistance to Khrushchevs projects. The party and military now seem to have reached a sort of live-and-let-live arrangement calling, among other things, for less party interference in strictly military affairs.

Marshal Rodion Y. Malinovsky, the defense minister, probably can be considered a Kliru-shchev man. He has been making pre-congress speeches to Soviet troops around the country and even in East Germany. He has been pointing out, for example, this emphasis In the 22nd congress draft program:

Leadership of the armed forces by the Communist party and the enhanced role and influence of party organizations in the army and navy represent cornerstones of our military organization.

That sounds like party assertion ,of control. But Malinovsky quickly qualified it, adding;

The defense ministry has devoted much attention to questions of one-man command. . . one-man command is a most important principle in the organization of the organization of the Soviet armed forces and It is therefore necessary to strengthen further one-man command

Khrushchev is tugged in two directions. Apparently he wants to go down in history as the man who started the USSR, building communism. But he also is under pressure to push rapidly the territorial expansion of the Communist movement. The two are contradictory. For the latter he needs an enormous military installation whose costs Inhibit Investment in the former.

If the military Is satisfied for the time beingand the chances are that it isKhrushchev probably will be permitted to let the Berlin crisis ease for a while, so that he can make an attempt to get his program on the road.

Opinions In. Brief

The words you write by hand may betray your personality. This sounds very furtive, expressed as we have it.

Actually, analysis of handwriting can ' be fascinating as well as a revealing glimpse of ones personality. The dictionary defines graphology as the study of handwriting, especially as regarded as an expression of the writers character.

Some of the facts about handwriting analysis we gleaned this week during a Psychology Club lecture at East Carolina College by Dr. Irvine Rose, of the psychology deparUnent. We thought we would pass some of them on to you.

According to Dr. Rose, all of us have been taught to write a certain way. But we have adapted our handwriting to suit ourselves. Actually handwriting is a motor skill, directed by the brain, and thus is expressive movement. It is easier to conceive our handwriting as a key to personality when perceived in this light.

Some of the indicators to personality in ones handwriting are the pressure ot the pen (to get a good sample, (me should use

fountain pen and unlined paper); speed; slant of writing; upward and downard movements; size of writing;' rhjrthm,. type of writing. Very interesting informa-^ tion is gained from Inspection of the way he signs his name.

For instance. Dr. Rose explains the way a person writes the first letter of his name indicates his opinion of himself; the way he writes the last indicates his reference to sociability.

The is were particularly Interesting to us. A person who dots the i up. extremely high has an idealistic opinion of himself. A person who dots the i with a big round "o (youve seen this before) is extremely self-centered.

As for other influences of the handwriting, we understand that a person who writes quite rapidly is supposed to be intelligent, Before you begin to rationalize about how fast you write, we should warn you that this speed may also indicate abnormality.

Other E(ditors Saying ,,, Right-To-Work Laws

Quote

(WheeUng (W. Va.) Intelllgeacer)

Although relatively little has been heard of the subject of late, right-to-work is by no means a dead issue in the United States.

, In fact, according to a Business Week survey, more will be heard on this question in the months ahead than has been the case since the early days of the Taft-Hartley Act and the first subsequent flush of right-to-work laws in the south.

The battle will be fought out on two fronts. In Washington it will center in organized labors rented attempt to repeal Section 14 (b) which recognizes the rights of the States to enact legislation outlawing union membership as qualification for employment. Elsewhere, it will center in movements to introduce right-to-work legislation, to repeal or revise laws on the subject already in force.

Nations Business round - up suggests these prospects: In Oklahoma, right-to-work bills are bottled up in legislative committees, with this state of affairs to be made a major issue in next years campaign.In Idaho, farmers have renewed their drive for a right-to-work bill lor agriculture. The measure passed the Senate last year but failed by only four votes in the

House.In Maine, a right-to-work committee has been formed, and in both Texas and Florida new groups will undertake to strengthen laws on the subject already on the books.

The right of workmen to organize and bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing is well established in the United States, It has been implemented in the National Labor Relations Act, in various state statutes, in court decisions and otherwise. Unfortunately, in 4heir zeal to promote exercise of this right those who lead and formulate organized labor policy overlook or ride roughshod over another basic right of the workmanthe right no to organize, the right to bargain individually.

Wisely, we have outlawed in this Country the so-called yellow dog contract under which a worker, in order to obtain employment, had to sign an agreement not to join a labor union. It is just as inconsistent with the concept of human rights to require a man to belong to a union In order to obtain work, or to join one after he has landed a job in order to hold it. Eighteen States now have in force laws prohibiting this practice. All of them should have.

Each time a Soviet Communist Party program* is enuncl-, ated, thousands of words are written, which are read with the greatest care by Communists throughout the wcx'ld. and by the experts in all foreign offices.

The Party Congress program is canonical and deviation from it means eounter-revolution and can result in expulsion from the party which often Involves serious eoneequenoes for the in-divldttal concerned. For some, it has meant death.

The Congress is to be held this month and to tt will go all the important Communist leaders from all parts of the world. Members of the party will watch who sMe on the t^atform. for not only does the presence on the platform but the portion of the individual, the pix^lnqulty to Khrushchev, determine a mans Importance and his futmre.

The docvunent is a paean ie Soviet aeeompUshments;

"The great October Socialist Revoltttion ushered in a new era in the history of mankind, the era of the downfall of capi* lalism and the establishment of Communism. Socialism has triumphed in the Soviet Union and has acWered decisive vio-tories in the peoples ttonocra* cies; socialism has become a cause of practical significance to ^ hundreds of millions of people, and the bearer of the revolutionary movement of the working elasa throughout the world.,

Further, the Platform aays; One-third of mankind if buildU Ing a new life under the banner of scientific communism. The first contingents of the working class to shake off obsolete oppression are facilitating victory for fresh contingents of their class brothers. The Socialist world is expanding; the capitalist world is shrinking. Soci^m will Inevitably succeed capitalism everywhere. Such is the objective law of social development. Impreialism is powerless to check the irresistible process of emancipation.

It is this statement which will have an enormous influence in the former colonial countries.

For when the Communists associate themselves with anti-imperialism., they take In a good part of the world that has been freed from colonialism, much of it through American aid. Thus the Airo-Asian nations are included in the success of Communism whereas, as a matter of fact, they have, most of them, not yet become stabilized in any political or economic systwn.

To Khrushchev that does not matter because he assumes power wherever he can; he accepts u<K;ess wherever it suits his purposes. For instance, in the statement of the fundamental struggle, the Platform says not a word of the enormous progress that the worker has made in Western Europe and the United State*. Instead, the party Platform says:

Capitalism, by concentrating _jnlUions of workers in its factories, socializing the process of labor, imparts a social character to pr<xiu<ttion: nevertheless it is the capitalists who appropriate the fniiti of labor.

This fundamental ontradic-tion of capitalismthe contradiction between the social character of production and the private-capitalist form of appropriation manifests itself in production anarchy and in the facY that the purchasing power of society falls short of the expansion of production and leads periodically to destructive economic crises.

This is an interesting statement beause tt recognizes the socializing process of production in the capitalist countries.

In the United States, for instance, increasingly the worker is an owner of the Industry in which he works or of other Industries. Borne industries are owned by labor unions. In a Marxist country, all Industry Is owned by the state monopolisti-lally and the worker only participates In ownership in the sense that as a citizen, he has certain rights within the state. Furthermore in a Marxist coun-tryt he worker is deprived of the most valuable fruits of production, namely, the choice of selection of consumers goods, for it is the state alone which determines what should be made and what should be used and (Continued on Page 6)

NATURE -Of- GENIUS

The word Genlu.'( U derived from a Latin word which means to beget, A genius, therefore, is a person who brings something new into being. He begets this new truth. He does not create this new thing any more than a father creates a child. A father begets a child. Parenthpod only makes it possible for new life to come into the world.

The genius, therefore, is a person who begela some new thinf. Columbus was a genius. Phidias in sculpture was a genius. So were the medieval painters because they brought forth (begat) something new. Bach. Beethoven sad Wagner were geniusesthat ia, they brought forth something new.

There are very few genlusei born in any age. There are

millions of., well-informed persons in the world today, and this abundance of information has existed In some form or other In certain past ag(*s. But geniuses are something more than wcll-lnform(xl persons They are people who can use their information in such a way as to produce something new. The Wnght , Brothers were geniuses. Albert Einstein was a genius. There may be a few geniuses living in the world today, but we can be sure they are not numerous.

Dont go asking yourself whether or not you are a genius. Just gd along doing what you are set to do, bpt do it well. If you are a genius, both you and the world will find this out later.

An avalanche of new aerosol products is coming.

The Food and Drug Administration has givn approval of Freon C-318, an odorless, taste-le.ss propellant gas, for use with foodstuffs.

The propellant has been developed by Du Pont and has been under test for two years to demonstrate its safety.

Its use will release a large number of new aerosol products immediately and spur food* processors into devising hundreds of others becau.se,it makes a better. longer-lasting foam.

Freon C-318 may be used alone, or in mixture with nltwus cxide, another approved propellant.

SUPER-WHIPPED CREAM The first product to be used with these combination of gases, because It is one of those tested so long, is whipped cream. The mixture is said to keep the (ream sterile for a long time and. when sprayed from a can. to produce a whipped-cream with a smoother and better-looking consistency. Furthermore, cream sprayed w'lth both gases or Freon C-318 alone are said

to maintain a stiffness longer than even chilled, machine-whipped cream.

But that may be only the beginning. Soon housewives may spray pancakes on griddle biscuits into a pan or puff cookies onto a tray.

The catsup bottle which has plagued catsup fanciers for years may vanish as diners spray the red goo from a Freon-charged can. Hot dogs may similarly be laced with mustard.

SPRAYED FIZZES

It may even be possible to get Silver Fizzes and Golden Iizzes from a spray can. Until that day comes, you might try my old Prohibition recipe for those drinks:

Silver Fliz: Get a self-charging carbonated water bottle and remove the glass rod. Put in six jiggers of gin, the whites of three eggs, three teaspoons-fuls of sugar, the juice of one lemon and a dash of Curacao. Benedictine, Cointreau, Grand Marnier or other citric liqueur, and fill bottle to the Plimsol mark with pure, non-chlorina-ted water. Carbonate, shake well. Put in ice box. When chilled, turn bottle upside down and. with gentle pressure on the trig

ger, pour into puncb glasses. Serves six.

Golden Flxz: Do exactly the same, but use three whole eggs instead of whites only.

OTHER POSSIBILITIES

It is probable that Federal rules will interdict the aerosol-canning of silver fizzes, gin fizzes, vodkas and tonic and other effervescent alcoholic drinks.

But the other posslbiliUes are limited' only by the imagination of American business. They could include jellie.s to be sprayed on breakfast toast, ready-mixed souffles, hickory flavor for outdoor cooking, Hollan-daisse .sauce.s, anchovy, dressings for canapes, foamed anything else for canapes, whipped potatoes, 101 des.sert topping, foamed vegetable for garnishing meats, mushroom puree for adding zest to .soups, whipped sour cream for borzcht, and countless decorations for cakes, puddings and flams.

A lunch counter can offer a hundred sandwich fillings, each sprayed from* a can.* An ice cream parlor, equipped with enough spray cans, can offer a choice of a thousand sundaes. A husband can get up in the morning and, by apraymg a-bit

of foamed butter, a bit of foamed egg, and a bit of Preon-powered cheese into a frying pan. can create a souffle worthy of Escof-fler.

Verily, the new era is being born6(juirted from an aerosol can.
