Thad Eure Went !dome To Vote

By LYNN NISBET TRAVELING VOTER ~ Thad Eurt, Secretary of State, like most other State officials, went home Tuesday to vote In the bond election. Mr. and Mr. Eure voted at Wlnton In Hertford county a they have in every election Ince 1932. Thad eald he isnt sure exactly how many trips he has made between Raleigh and Wlnton in the past 30 years Just to vote, but he knows the aggregate mileage I well above 12,000 miles. Although the law used to permit absentee voting in primaries and still allows it in general elections. Thad has utilized the absentee ballot only one time Governor Terry Sanford also went home to Fayetteville to cast his vote for the bonds Unlike Eure and the other State officials, however, the Governor didnt have to dig into his pocket for expense money to malie the trip. He had the State-owned "Kitty Hawk plane at his service for an appearknce In New York City Tuesday morning, a luncheon meeting and ^ech at Albemarle Community College at Elizabeth City at noon, a swift side trip to Fayetteville to vote, and then to Rocky Mount for an area development association meeting.

So the propaganda for and against the two candidates for YDC president now takes about this course:

The Graham folks say the Y. D.

They cite Terry Sanford. Gordon Gray. Clifton Blue and other former president' who later achieved recognition \ big party councils.

That is what YDC is for. argue the.se people, to groom and train future leaders. When we find a man capable of promotion, they say. we ought to carry him along. Lets boast these unknowns into prominence and thereby get Indirect credit for YDC.

Back in 1940 the Corpa of Engineers estimated such a project

The Neuse was built at White Hall (now Seven Springs) and designed to be the most deadly ironclad In the Confederate Navy. She was 200 feet long and 50 feet wide. The turret was 50 feet wide and 60 feet long at the base, inclining gently from bottom to top.

She was brought downriver to Kinston for final battle-readiness . . .and disaster.

Kinston was beseiged in March, 1865. and in trjdng to move the Neuse to safety she became stuck on a shoal. To prevent its capture, the crew set fire to the vessel. The flames reached one of the, guns, setting it off. tearing a hole below the waterline and flooding the boat. Naturally, the fire was ex-ting^hed.

Subsequently the Neuse was divested of her armor and as

much of the equipment as could be salvaged. Theres considerable doubt as to how much actually remains; some say there is very little.

The salvagers have recovered some timbers, described as heart pine with no evidence of water-logging, an old soldiers boot, some iron spikes, a hatch-cover, an iron bearing shaft and an ancient whiskey bottle.

Needl^ to say. the operation has been closely followed by the Kinston newspaper and scores of onlookers at the scene. Lenoir commissioners were approached for funds (work lik(; this is bound to run Into money), but the board was advised it couldnt legally appropriate for such a project.

In the meantime, speculation runs high. Just what are the salvagers going to raise? Can they really raise the craft?

Well probably know next week.

Many are puzzled by the dlf* ference between Socialism and Communism and write inquiring whether there is reaUy a difference. There are many forms of confusion arising from the disasaociatlon of word from fact.

If, Instead of using the words Socialism and Communism, we speak a Marxism, we come cloeer to the truth. Karl Marx, in aasociatloD with Priedrich Engels, in 1848 wrote a pampl^ let, The Communist Manifesto.** in which they attempted to recite concisely a theory of social developnMnt based on the evolution of mankind by historic forces.

The history of all hHherto existing society 1 the history of class struggles.

Freeman and slave, patrician iJid plcblan, lord and serf,

* guild-master and Journeyman, in a word, opiwessor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either In a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.

But The Communist Manifesto is not the entire story. Hegel, a German philosopher, was laying the bases for modern Socialism; Bakunin was advocating a form of Anarchism'; Ferd- inand LaSalle propounded a form of Socialism akin to the reformism of the ."New Deal* and his ideas were accepted by Bismarck. Many ideas were being circulated at this time. As Karl Marx said: "Hitherto, it was the mission of philosophers to interpret the world; now, it 1 our business to change it-**

The socialist movement can be traced back to the immediate aftermath of the French Revolution. If it is possible to have political equality, why not social and economic equality? Many attempts were made during the 1830s to effect these changes by mass demonstrations. In 1844. the "Society of the Democratic Friends of All Nations was organized but it was difficult t do more than stir up a sentiment for Socialism that is, government ownership of the means of production and distribution and ex-

pass up the vote Tuesday. It was due to no lack of Interest or patriotism but to some solid facts of life. The State could not allow pay for the time employees used In going to and from home to vote. The amount was charged agaiast their vacation timeeven if they could get off. Then it would cost from five to 12 cents a mile to make the trip, running in some Instances to well more than a day.s pay plus the loss of time. Admittedly that is a rather heavy con-trtbutlon to expect from the average employee

Y. D. C. The conte.'t for president of the State Young Democratic Clubs offers a choice and a study in qualifications of the candidates. The outstanding entries, and there Isnt likely to be any more, are W. Ray Lackey of Stony Point In Alexander county and W. E. (Dub) Graham of Charlotte. They are approximately the same age, in the mid-thirties. Both are very popular 'as persons and as Democrats.

Graham U a lawyer. Lackey ft layman with business training. Graham has manifested .some Interest in politics through the years- but this Is his first venture Into big time rough and

give to YDC some extra prestige on that account. There has been some disposition on part of regular party leaders to Ignore the YDC a.s a sort of crackpot or irresponsible organization, seeking nothing more than headlines and the opportunity to wave flags in a political parade

Selection of a president who has worked with local govern ment in an elective county office, with State and general public in the Legislature, might tend to erase this idea of Irresponsibility.

The YE>C constitution ha.s a deadline of 40 years for officer.s Anybody can vq|e in the YDC convention who can muster a dollar to pay his dues, but no person above 40 can hold office Both Graham and Lackey are several years on the under side of 40. There are some who think the 40-year Is too high, and a few would even bring it down to 30. which is the minimum age limit for a Governor.

The choice facing YDC at its convention in Durham next weekend is whether to select a president for training into capacity for full leadership, or to choose one already trained and proven as a leader in political campaigns.

WASHINGTON (AP)-Its not Just the eyes watching thats going to make filling Dag Ham-marskjolds job tough for his successor. The very title of the Job, and the fight over it. force him into self-consciousness.

Be.sidea. the power of the office has been diminished. So It will not be unexpected if U Thant, the Biu*mesp diplomat who replaces Swedish Ham-marskjold, does only a so-so Job, and maybe not even so-so.

Hammarsk.jold, killed In an African plane crash in 'September, was .'ecretary general of the United Nations. U Thant, chosen last Friday to succeed him. Is simply acting secretary-general. .

He will fill out the uncxpired part of Hammarskjolds term which ends in about 18 months, April 1963.

It was Hammarskjolds willingness to assert responsibility to the fullest authority of his office, as he saw It that sometimes angered several Western nations but particularly infuriated the Soviets.

In the Congo, for insUnce. it was the United Nations under Hammar.skjolri's leader-ship which frustrated Rus.sian efforts to move m on a chactlc predicament. It was no wonder Premier Khrushchev said the RiLssians didnt trust the Swede.

Khrushchev in his anger went so far as to demand reorganization of the United Nations to provide not one secretary-gen-eraJ but threeone each representing the West. Russia, and the neutralsand each with a veto over what the others wanted.

This so-called troika plan could have paralyzed the United Nations in any emergency

and truly turned the world organization, which is suppos-

to preserve peace, Into a namby-pamby debating society.

The Russians, with Hammar-skjold dead, saw their chance to push for the troika. The United States was dead agaiixst It.

Other Editors Saying Degrees Of Fear

(W'ashington Daily News)

Russia has been busy lately setting off powerful explosions of nuclear bombs. The biggest explosion in history took place last Monday as Russia exploded a nuclear bomb variously estimated to be of a range between a 30 megaton and a 60 megaton size.

What does Russia hope to accomplish in a world already beset with grave tensions by setting off such powerful bombs? Does the Soviet Union realize that her actions serve as an invitation to other nations, particularly the United States, to set off huge bombs also?

There might be degrees of fear in the world. The people of one nation might be more fearful than the people of another nation. But are not the Russian people themselves sharing in the fears of the world too? We suspect that they are. And we sus-T-Kio 14 Pect that Russian people look at

This much Is clear already:, i^clear power in the same light

After seven weeks of maneuvering the United States and Rus-, sla finally worked out a compromise in picking U Thant.

He would be only the,acting secretary-general but he would seek to reach agreement on decisions with advisers he would pick. As soon as he got the job he named an American and a Ru.sslan as his advisers. He may name more.

In a way Russia lost. It didnt get three secretarios-general- In a snsc It wonU Thant is committed to consulting certain advisers although what happens if the Russian or American disagrees with him remains to be seen.

This very arrangement of commitment on consultation weakens the power of the office. Ham-marskjold had a much freer hand than his successor.

The Russians havent lost their fight for the troika. They may merely have postponed it until U Thants term Is up and the United Nations has to pick a full secretary-general.

Here, too, the acting secretary-general Is on the spot since he knows, on at least can suppose, that the way he handles his Job will have some bearing on whether the Russians will Insist on a troika in 18 months or settle for lees.

On top of all thiswith all these handicapsU Thant know that every one of the 103 member nations will be watching to see how he compare with Ham-marskjold. '

as people of America are looking at itas a power of destruction.

Somewhere along the line of fears, we wonder if humanity ever arrives at the point where yne more big bomb will cause any more fear than already exists. We are told that the atomic bomb used to destroy Hiroshima. And the chances are that 2.500 times more radiation will result than came from the Hiroshima bomb.

What will America do in the face of such demonstrated destructive power? Will we merely sit still and bemoan the awful fact that Rus.sla has taken such steps? Or will Americja now go

into an active testing program with all the radioactive dangers which are evident?

If the world today Is going to witness the spectacle of a nuclear race much as people look at a football game, then humanity is bound to pay a terrible price in the end. If we destroy the whole world, what has been gained?

There axe so many dynamic questions before mankind today which seemingly have no good answers. Mankind talks about peace in one breath and then in the next goes about the business of showing to the world its power to destroy humanity.

The whole business of nuclear testing is* a brutal anti-human episode in history. So many people are hungry and ill-clothed today over the world. We suspect that many Russian subjects are hungry at this very moment. But Russia spends huge sums to show to the world its destructive powers.

We just wonder if each exploding bomb means that fears are actually increased. It could be that many peoples over the world are already so afraid and trembling so much at the thought of what might happen that one more test explosion will make no difference. But we speculate that the fears are Just as rampant among Russian people as they are among other people over the worldincluding America.

If we are afraid, then Russia is afraid too. Make no mistake about this matter of fears in todays world. No one nation has a monopoly on fear.

Karl Marx was able to d^ vote hiniself entirely to changing the world, not only by writing books and pamphlets but by organizing "The Workers Educational Society and similar organizations in European countries. Marx became a clearing house for these socialist organizations.

The Communist League was organized in 1847. It was for thi association of socialist, reformist and other Leftist groups that "The Communist Manifesto was written. It was an error to assume that all of Marxism is stated in The Communist Manifesto. Marx was a prolific writer on a myriad of subjects and to the student of Socialism, some of his other writings are more important, but the "Manifesto established a working class movement which abandoned the Nationalism of the French Revolution and the Anarchism of those who held that all government is evil.

It needs to be pointed out that many socialistic concepts were accepted by various European governments, particularly Prussia and other German states, the Scandinavian countries and Great Britain.

From many standpoints the reformist ideas of Marx and Engels were making great headway throughout the world. The changes were not systematic, but met imme<iiate circumstances in certain countries. In 1903, the Russian Social Democratic Party met in London. This meeting divided into two groups, the Majority or Bolshevik Group being led by Lenin. Most of those who attended this con-

The Federal Trade Commission appears to be taking a new squint at the use of the word "free In advertising.
