One Man Bears Much Of Burden

Vm Taking Your Advice

Election of tj Thant of Burma as new secretary-general of the United Nations puts that international organization back into operation with a full-time administrator for the first time since the death of Dag Hammarskjold.

The neutralist.U Thant did not hesitate in his address immediately following his election to call attention to trouble spots of the world, and he pledged the power of his new office to continue to work for international peace.

It is perhaps of significance that American Ambassador to the U.N. Adlai Stevenson heaped praise on U Thant and pledged this nations support of the new secretary-general. In contrast, the Soviet representative who addressed the U.N. assembly immediately following the election declared that U Thants election represents only a temporary arrangement until changes are brought about in the method of administration of the United Nations.

The position left vacant by the death of Dag Hammarskjold on September 18 will not be an easy one to fill by U Thant or any other diplomat Particularly is this true in view of the apparent determination of the Soviet Union to continue to press for a dra.stic change in the powers of the office of secretary-

No Pressure On

ne N. C. Voter

By LYNN NISBET

PURPOSE Governor Sanford reiterated to newsmen at his lateet session with them that the primary purpose of his'lJres-ent speaking tour is not to "sell bonds" but to Impress upon the people the responsibility they have for making the educational program productive.

Asked if he would make an urgent last minute appeal next Monday for the bond Issues, he said he had no idea of doing that. In fact, he has not and docs not intend to put on pressure for a bond vote, "Our purpose," he said, "is to provide factual information to the citi-sens. I think a good job has been done in that area. I Just dont see how anybody who has this information and understands the situation can fail to support the bonds."

He finds sentiment strong for the bonds, and cannot believe they are in serious trouble. He has found, too, that morale Ls very high among school people with respect to the total program.

He was reluctant to give a forecast of the number of votes to be cast next Tuesday, but finally suggested "perhaps around 175,000 to 200,000." 'That is somewhat higher than most estimates, but still le.ss than ten per cent of the registered voting strength. That casts some doubt on the claim of high morale and active interest.

Adverting to charges that government costs are going up too fast and these bonds would add to the cost, the Governor pointed out that State government costs are not rising as fast as population or per capita income, and that the normal course of progress would enable the State to pay off these bonds without additional tax levies.

EXTRA CURRICULAR-Gov-emor Sanford has no patience with those who criticize college students for participating in the torchcarrying promotion of the bonds. With a grin he said he would also condone those who are old enough taking time out from cla.sses to go and vote. He thinks college students should have larger participation in civic public affair.s, both in discussion and action pha.ses. Some sort of balance must be maintained. The clas.s room must be the most important place in the college set up. and the regular courses of study must have priority over all other activities. But no sensible person has suggested that there should not be other extra-curricula activities for .studentsor that these extra activitie.s are not necessary for development of a full man or woman.

IMMATURE? - One reporter asked the Governor if he did not

think most of the students were too immature to take part in such programs. He referred to some admittedly off-color and almost crazy proposals made by students in the mock legislative assemblies staged in Raleigh every year. The Governors answer to that can be accepted by preponderant majority of adults as sound reasoning. "Of course' they are Immature," said Sanford, Then he expanded that idea with observations that this is an Inescapable problem in the business of growing up. But a lot of these college boys and girls are more mature in their thinking than many older people. Age is not the sole factor. Out of their ideas comes progress, and out of their enthusiasm comes the willingness to work to establish that progress.

Not only the college participants in the torch-bearing parade, but all the members of the Young Democratic Clubs assembling in Durham next week can find comfort and encouragement in Governor Sanfords position.

BALANCEDuring his nearly one year in office Governor Sanford has shown more consideration and respect fw the status of other constitutional elected State officials than any chief executive since Governor Clyde Hoey. There has beeen no serious breach in relations between the Governor and the

members of the Council of State through the years since then, but there have been times when the Governor quite obviously resented the fact he could not "run" the departments headed by

elected officials, and there have been instances when these officials resisted efforts of the Governor to exercise his statutory authority over fiscal and personnel matters in their departments.

Governor Sanford has leaned over backwards not to offend any of his elected as.soclates In government, and relations have been very cordial. First intimation that Governor Sanford may be re.stlve under con.stltu-tional limitations Imposed came at his latest weekly news conference.

A reporter a.sked what had happened to the "Agricultural Opportunities" program launched with a lot of fanfare about three months ago. The Governor said it was working, but not as fast as he had hoped. He said the folks at State College and in the State D<partment of Agriculture were keeping In touch. He thought maybe the program nc*eds a little shot in the arm or something. And then somewhat wustfully he ob.sorved. "You know the Governors office does not have as much to do with agriculture as It doe.s with commerce and industry, for exam pie.

general. -

To a great extent, the effectiveness of the international organization for keeping world peace now rests upon the shoulders of its new secretary-gentral. If he proves to be a strong administrator like Hammarskjold, the organization will forge ahead, taking positive action to cope with dangers in trouble spots around the world. If, on the other hand, he proves to be indecisive in the face of impending crisis, the effectiveness of tht U.N. in preserving peace may wane^ drastically.

U Thants election as secretary-general puts the U.N. over one of the greatest hurdles.it has faced in its history, but it by no means provides a panacea for all tht problems which face the international organization and the role it plays in world affairs.

It Is Well The U. S. Has Stated Position

With both the Soviet Union and the United States having asserted they will not be bound by a moratorium on nuclear testing proposed before the United Nation.s, the adoption of such a measure will merely serve to indicate the feeling of other nations with regard to such tests.

President Kennedy has not said the United States will engage in nuclear testa in the atmosphere, but he has clearly indicated the United States will undertake such te.sts if they are deemed necessary to safeguard security. He has further said the United States will make preparations to set off such tests if they are believed necessary.

Ru.ssia, on the other I pnd, has rejected any new U.N. moratorium on nuclear bomb testing as unfeasible in practice. At the same time they renewed their oft-heard pitch for complete disarmament.

The situation thus resolves itself to a point where the nations which do not have nuclear capabilities may clamor for a moratorium, but those which have such a capability will reserve themselves the right to determine whether they vvill make such tests.

If the United Nations membership goes on record in favor of a moratorium against nuclear bomb tests, the measure will carry with it a certain amount of prc.ssure in the form of world opinion. It will not, however, offer any sort of guarantee to any nation that these tests will not continue from time to time.

It is w'ell, we think, that the United States has made clear its position on the matter before the U.U. membership takes its vote. At least we have served notice to the world as well as to the U.N. where we .stand on the matter and why.

Bv JA.'VIES MARLOW

WASHINGTON (AP) - Harry Truman made a careerall the way up to the pre.sidencyof being a Democrat and banging the Republlcaas. At 77 hes still at It, full of pep and partLsan-f.hip.

The one-idPdnefi gets monotonous, as it doe.s with any politician. But he has an aggressive directne.S5 and tenseness that make Presidents Kennedy and Elsenhower look as cautious as Calvin Coolidge beside him.

At the National Press Club Thursday he was in typical form although he got to bed late the night before as Kennedys guest at the White House. He said nothing that could even obi'Quely be considered criti-cisni of Kennedy except for thi.s:

A.'-ked how often he thought a piesident should hold news conferences, Truman said once a week. In the 1960 campaign Kennedy talked of once-a-week conferences If elected. But. not that hes President, weeks go by without one. ,

Otherwise. Truman had nothing but praise for Kennedys ad-mini.stration, nothing but blame fei Eisenhowers, although he never mentioned Eisenhower by name.

Tne split which began between Truman and Elsenhower in the 1952 campaign Is still there and, ludging from Trumans perform-aiir( Thursday, he wont be the lir't to try to heal it. At the licino time, Truman and Presi-de'if Hoover are frlend.s,

1 ruinan has mellowed, but only a little, He had a kind woid foi the Republican-run 80th Con-gre.sN uhicli. in the 1948 < am-paivn. he called the "do-noth-in'i CoiiRre.s.s.

II .said Thursday it pa. .sed ".s'unr of the most .siciiiticant f')K in policy leglslafion in our M:.sfory lik aid for Greece and and the Maistiall Plan 1/Ut he .slill blamed it for beiim {'e nothing on problem.s at tioine

it wa.s no accident he .sfre.s.s-rri the significance of th<* aid for Gieect* and Turkey - when the CoiiimuiiLsts w(re hreathmg ditwn ttieir nerk- or the .Mai-.shall Plan whose econoimc help got .shattered Euidpe hack on it.v feet.

It's something to be self-conscious about.

He knows his place in historyand his rank among the presidentshinges on his foreign record: What he did when the cold war with Russia began and what he did when It turned frigid

His major foreign decisions be.sides the two just mentioned v/ere putting this country into military alliance wdth Western Europe, .setting up bases around the world of communism to contain it. and going into Korea.

Truman, through the.se actions. laid down the foreign policy which Elsenhower and Kennedy followed without any major change or addition.

But if Eisenhower and Kennedy w'ere his heirs in foreign policy they were not in dealings at home l^ie most obvioius difference is in the way the three men handled Congre.ss.

Truman was far more aggressive than the other two in fighting for legislation he thought wa.s needed. And he made the pre.s.dency a lot more personal in the .sen.se of fighting openly w.tn individuals who.se policies Cl lactic.s he had no use for.

Be.sf examples: his open and nrojonged quarrels with Sens. Hehtrt Taft and Jo.seph McCarthy. Elsenhower avoided personal olsputes completely. Kennedy ha.e so far.

Whether Truman's method v.n.; better is debatable. Despite Trumans antagonism. McCarthy got bolder and stronger.

It was the Elsenhower admin-.itiatjon. although Elsenhower hinuself avoided a head-on clash, which laid the foundation for the dKstruction of the Wisconsin senator witii tlie Army-Mc'Carlhy hearing.s.

3ut one thing Is for sure: The V/h:i( Hou.se under Truman wa.s a tar more lively and colorful than it has ever been un-cici Et.srnhower or Kennedy.

State Democratic Chairman Bert Bennett, while paying Pitt Democrats a visit the other night, hit the nerve that runs through the center of practically any or-ga nizationmoney.

In discussing the business of money-raising to pay for large scale politicking. Bennett said hed be the first to admit: "This money business is a tough proposition."

To punctuate his discussion, he related a story of a money-gathering campaign during Gov. Sanfords politicking tours of 1960. It revealed an old characteristic: "A mans hesitant

about greasing the palm, but his own Is always outstretched

Scratching the back of his head lightly, Bennett recalled aloud that many donations come in small nenominations. "Then,

sometimes wed get a check," he said.

He said he and the Governor (before he won the office) were just before leaving a political rally in the West, They had picked up several donations for the campaign.

Then one of the Westerners sidled up to Bennett and very inconspicuously handed him a folded check. ,

Bennett remembered how he and the candidate were forced to restrain themselves from peeking at the amount of the check donation until they were in private. "Its just not polite to take a check like that and immediately look to see how much," he said.

But soon they were far enough away and both eagerly unfolded

the check to find only a scrawled message::

Terry: When you win this election, how about a job?"

Other Editors Saying Crow For Gen. Von Fleet

(Greensboro Daily News) Gen. James A. Van Fleet has repeatedly distinguished himself os a fighting man, but he added nothing to his stature with the off-target and unjust attack on U- N. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson. Very properly he is now helping himself to the crow At a meeting in Lakeland. Fla., earlier in the week. General Van Fleet remarked off the cuU according to press reports, ihat President Kennedy should have "fired" Ambassador Stevenson after the Cuban fiasco He repeated the usual charge that the second air strike against Castros minuscule air force, which was to cover the refugee invasion was called off at Mr Stevensons insistence.

What really happened? General Van Fleets story is almost cfitainly a secondhand or ill-remembered version at the story put about by Stewart Alsop in nis post-mortem on the Cuban al-fair in the Saturday Evening Post In the Post for June 24, Mr Alsop reported:

" . .An essential part of the Kennedy plan was the knocking out of Castros tiny air force The first air strike occurred or. April 15, two days before the landings. According to plan, it was billed as a spontaneous act by pilots defecting from Castros air force.

"The President had given orders that nothing was to be none to "impair the credibility of .Adlai Stevenson. . .Stevenson should not be lied to, and should not be asked to lie. Stev-en.'on was aware of these orce Thus when he heard from the State Department that the pilots of the April 15 air strike

actually were defectors, he believed it . .

"Stevenson thereupon arose, passionately protested American innocence, and even produced a photograph of the plan which had landed in Florida, showing Cuban Air Force markings (which had, of course, been painted on by the CIA. When he heard, too late, that a State Department underling had been stupid and that the defection story was in fact a lie, Steven-s.>n was understandably furious, and demanded that there should be no more of this sort of thing. He was supported by Rusk in Mr demand, and the President ordered that the second. . . fiirike against the Castro air force. . .be called off. . . .No doubt the chances are high that th# eventual outcome would have been the same if the President had not. . .canceled the second strike against the Castro air force."

ThUs Stewart Alsops plausible report did not attempt to brand Ambassador Stevenson as the evil genius of failure. It rather suggested the folly of not following through once a scheme is afoot, of not having "the will and the means to prevent failure." Obviously. Alsops sympathy is with Stevenson, who was "understandably furious. Stevensons anger may have Siernmed. not from the air strike itself, but from having been made a liar and a fool before the U. N. when he had been promised that he would be told all. and not deceived.

It is always easy to find a scapegoat, if you look for >one, "And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities."

"Lets stop kidding ourselves or allowing our enemies to kid us. Profits have a place an honored place In American life and American society. Without profit there would be no America as we know it. Junk the profit motive and we would have as dull, as drab and as unpleasant a place as the communist countries which would like to have us abolish profits in favor of socialism."Dallas Times Herald.

Rather elaborate eulogies at dinner meetings with speakers are anything but the exception.

At the Scottish Rite party at the Moose Lodge Thursday, at least three tributes to dignitaries about to be introduced drew good-natured insults. One inspired the other two.

It all started when Judge Dick Bundy heaped praise upon New Berns Bob Pugh before bring-mg him to the microphone.

As Pugh took his place, he handed the judge a one-dollar bill. Thank you. Dick, he said, and the crowd roared.

Later, Bundy, in his most eloquent language, did the honors for U. S. Sen. Sam Ervin who vas attending the Scottish Rite affair as a guest.

As Sen. Ervin took his stand behind the mike, he expressed hb gratitude for the tribute by handing Judge Bundy two one-collar bills.

Still later. Budy took the mike again to introduce the evenings speaker. Again, out flowed the flowery words of superlative praise. This time for Rev. Lauren R. Sharpe of Kenansville.

Not to be outdone. Rev. Sharpe warmly and roundly thanked Judge Bundy for the eulogy. He declared: "Id give you five dollars, if my wife had given me money tonight."

Nehru j Is Not An Ally

By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY Copyright. 1961, King Features Syndicate, Inc.

There are those who have believed that India could be bribed-into favoring the United States.

Up to now. India has been a neutral that favored Soviet Rus-isa On the other hand, Krishna Memon, Indias delegate to the nited Nations, has beeix antagonistic to the United States, supporting Soviet Russia on every program including the firing of 28 atomic bombs in sucxession.

Indias position is beyond understanding, as Nehru postures as a moralist, a person who lives by a code rathr than by political expediency. The fact is that India has pursued a policy in the United Nations which has no explanation in historic reason. In fact, Nehrus support of the Two China Policy can only create confusion in Asia by Red China. Nehru has not protested Tibet or Nepal or Kashmir against Red China, although it Is Impossible to find any moral explanation for Indias conduct, particularly as Nehru l*s(^ures as a moralist and there can be no morality in Indias attitude toward 'Hbet.

At the Geneva Conference which was called to put an end to the nuclear bombing of humanity, the Bidian delegation always equated the United States and Soviet Russia, although the United States had stopped testing and Soviet Rus- ,

.?ia is exploding increasingly larger bombs, culminating in the futile and monstrous 50 megaton bomb.

Tiie American delegate, Arthur Dean, said:

"It may seem a matter of indifference to the Indian delegation whether a state conducts upward ot twenty atmospheric tests in seven weeks, culminating in a fifty-megaton shot and other shots of up to thirty-mega-tvons, and continues to test in the atmosphere, even this very morning, while another state conducts but three underground explosion in the small kiloton, or thousand-ton, range which involves no radioactive fall-out.

Nehru would like to be re-garced and respected as the pnncipal moral force In the Asia-African world today. Asia and Africa cannot be associated realistically as one area, which It is not. although at certain points the two continents meet ethnologlcally and religiously.

The Bandung Conference (April 1955) sought to build a unit among the Asiatic and African states to offset the colonial powers which are organized in NATO.

But Red China sought to build the Bandung Conference Into an anti-American, pro-Soviet bloc and to a degree succeeded largely because Nehru would not take a moral stand but submitted to Soviet leadership. If fact, Chou En-lai, the Red Chinese Premier, asserted himself as superior to everybody else at that Conference.

Krishna Menon has attempted to give the impression that explosions in the atmosphere are the same as explosions underground which he knows not to be true. The object of Menons statement was to give the Indian people the false impression that the United States was more wicked than Soviet Russia, that underground tests did more harm than atmospheric tests which he also knew to be

untrue. In a word, Krishna Mepon has acted on behalf of Soviet Russia and sets out to damage the United States although he pretends to represent a reutral nation. This neutrality is hard to define.

Most Americans are growing weary of both Nehru and Menon and the time has come when aid to India must be regarded as aid to an enemy state. No alternative is available, partic- ' ularly in view of Menons constant attacks upon the United States.

There Is no excuse for the shooting of the 50 megaton bomb. No scientific purpose is achieved by shooting off this bomb. If a five or 10 megaton bomb can be fired, it stands to reason that In due course a 50 or 100 megaton bomb can be fired. But what is proved by this? What end does it serve?

What benefit is it to mankind?

Soviet Russia is filthying the atmosphere and dirtying the soil of all countries including its own and that of its allies. Soviet Russia has become an outlaw nation, a borrow to mankind, a brute force on Earth. If India (Continued on Page 6)
