By LYNN NISBET NEXT GOVERNOR Most peopte think it Is too early to engtge In definite plannlns for the ld64 governors race. There Is a big Senate race and another General Assembly scheduled ahead of that. But a right substantial minority of the citizenry thinks it Is time now to get things lined up for 1964. There are several trial bal-lois being launched. Joe Hunt Greensboro, speaker of the 1961 House, is perhaps tiie most active candidate. Bert Bennett of Winston-Salem, state Democratic chairman. and Woodrow Jones of Rutherford-t<m, former congresanan and state chairman, are at lea^ In the Bartds Is willin stage. A

County would reflect a savings of some $1.5 million annually for farmers of North Carolina who now pay freight charges on phosphate shipped largely from Florida for use in manufacture of fertilizer.

The opportunity for economic development that Beaufort County now has in its phosphate deposits should be enhanced by the action of state boards and state officials; not blocked by them.

would not have to go far Into the bushes. There have been some other casual suggestions including Tom Pearsall of Rocky Mount.

The fact is none of the potential candidates have much appeal for eastern Democrats. Reacti(Hi to the Pearsall sug-gesU<i was enthusiastic because most of the easterners really beBeve In the rotaticwi plan and think the governorship shotild go to tl west next time. Certainly the three or four active candidates for Lieutenant Govemor would rather keep the field to themselvw.

Chie bears more and more often another name more familiar to active Democratic workers all o\-er the state than any of the others menti(Mjed. There is nothing like a boom or a movement, but there are a lot of people who would be very happy to see Dr. Henry Jordan get into the race for Govemor next Ume.

JORDAN Jordan has long been promlnwjt In state affairs. This is not the first time he has been mentioned for the top place. His first venture in statewide affairs came in 1945 when Govemor Gregg Cherry aix>ointed him to the highway and public works commission. They had become good friends when Jordan was practicing dentistry in Belmont, before getting into the textile business in Randolph county. After four years as divisimi canmission-er be was named chairman of the highway canmlssion by Govemor Kerr Scott In 1949. He served four years in that capaci^ during the greatest seamdary road building era In history. Later be was elected to the State Senate from Randolph coun^.

Dr. Jordans prestige in politics does not rest as much on his official conduct as upon his activities outside the scope of public office. He wras an important cog in the machinery

the modernistic youngsters think thats mighty old. He Is a brother of United States Senator Everett Jordan, and some folks object to one family holding the two highest offices in the state.

FAMILY It must be remembered. however, that the Jordan family is out of the ordinary. Some four or five years ago this column paid tribute to this extraordinary family group of four boys and two glris One of the boys a United States Senator, one a State highway chairman, one a university vice-president, one an outstanding minister of the methodist church: both girls married to men as important in their fields as are Um brothers in theirs. More recently Chester Davis in the Winstoo-Salem Jwimal and Howard White in the BurllngtcHi Times - News have publicized the family.

There have been other families in North Carolina to which every member seemed to rate In the 100 percent class. The Smith familyCharles Alfonso, Henry Louis, et als; the Dixon family-Thixtias and others, of whom May Dixon Thacker, last of the generation, died ji^ last week: branches of the Ah-emethy family and others. In most of these families tl ties of blood and kinship were close, but the public did not think of them as families but as individuals. It never occurred to anybody to charge Henry Louis Smith with what his brothers Egbert or Charles did or said, any more than to blame or credit May Dixon Thacker with Thomas Dixons reconstruction era books.

So when Charlte Jordan speaks as vice president of Duke, or Henry Jordon talks as a manufactureror a candidate, there is only remote chance that Everett Jordan as United States Senator has any connection with their comments.

By J.%MES ^lARLOVV WASHLNGTOiN <AP) - Massive retaliation comes to look more and more like final retaliation while this overheated world torments with small, or

gucrriUaffwars In the hope it can keep them small.

The latest to put his finger on guerrilla fighting as the thing to look for is the Pentagons No. 2 man, Roswell L. Oilpatrlc, deputy secretary of defense.

In a TV interview Sunday he said Communist doctrine is conflict. He foresees a step-up in indirect warfare and guerrilla battles and mentioned the guerrilla fighting in Viet Nam as an example.

The United States had a monopoly on atomic weapons only four years: from 1945 until 1949 when the Russians achieved their first atomic explosion. They developed their hydrogen bomb in 1953.

Now that both have the power to wipe each other out. neither wants to begin what neither could win. Thus massive retaliation, being a last gasp effort, would be a final retaliation.

In a sense, then, they have paralyzed themselves in the act of achieving their maximum power. It is useful to them therefore only in discouraging each other from any attempt at an all-out sudden victory.

But the Commuiii.sts were never discouraged, even while this country had that four-year atomic monopoly, from attempting to accumulate a series of small victories which, if permitted, would m time become total victory.

In the 1945-49 period communism under Stalin tried its luck in Iran, Gre(^ce and Turkey but gave up under the pressure of President Truman's unpredictable tougliness.

In 1948 it did take over Czechoslovakia. This was done too suddenly for Tinman to stop it. Then Stalin tried the Berlin blockade, an epistxie which gave some Insight into the unwillingness of both sides to blow the lid off.

Viet ground forces, didnt try to smash through to the city by land. Truman tried the airlift. This gave Stalin a chaiice to back away from the big war.

There would have been one if he tried to shoot down the planes. He didn't and backed off. Then he tried his luck in Korea. This time Truman stopped it with direct action. But he .w'a.sn't fighting the Red army thert.

Wlien the Red Chine.se pot in and roiled back the .N. troops.

Truman backed off from the big explosion. He might have smashed them with bombings. He didnt.

If he tried it, and Russia came to Chinas defense, that would have been It. The result was a stand-off. The Korean war ended where it began: at the 38th parallel.

It was President Elsenhowers secretary of state, John Foster Dulles, who made a big thing of tte phrase massive retaliation. It never became more than a phrase with him, and sometimes a completely empty one.

For example Dulles didnt try anything massive when the Communists defeated the French and toiric half of Indochina, even though Southeast Asia was important to this country.

Premier Khrushchev, who now has perhaps as much if not more hydrogen torch power as this country, has been careful so far not to push his luck to the point where this country felt it had to use Its full strength.

For example: his reluctance up tiU now to force a showdown on Berlin. But that American strength hasnt deterred communism from pushing where the United States would also be reluctant to go all out.

The guerrilla war in Viet Nam is hardly the kind, even though the country is lost, where the American leadership has shown any Inclination to make this the final test with communism.

There is no reason to think there wont be many more such Communist tries in areas which, important as they are, this country might not think important enough to risk mass

slaughter on two continents.

The college enrollment situation in North Carolina is very much like a treadmill on which a runner exerts every effort to show progress, yet gets no place for all his troubles. As a matter of fact, this state's Institutlc of higher learning are not making any headway against the enrollment crush, but are actually losing ground.

The future holds no prospects of improvement: on the contrary North Carolina educators have been advised to brace for the approaching tidal wave of college students. Where wUl this influx of students come from? Mostly from the great baby boom of 1947. Why 1947? That was a high tide for the return, marriage and settling down of thousand* of World War II veterans anxious to get their homes and families started.

The results of 1947 will begin to show up at the college door around 1965. Thats the year when about 100,000 North Carolinians reach 18 years of age. In 1965 about 60,000 wUl graduate from high school and some 30,000 will enter North Carolina institution-, of higher learning. Some of these will come from out of state.

In fact, the out-of-state enrollments are beginning to pose a problem as more and more native Tar Heels seek entrance to state schools. This out-of-state group makes up 23 per cent of total enrollment. Dr. W. C. Archie, director of the

Board of Higher Education, suggests a review of policies on admitting non-North Carolinians. As an example, last 3^ears freshman class at A&T College in Greensboro included 29 per cent of out-of-state students. This figure is entirely too high.

But how has North Carolina met higher educational needs? Very well, in fact, but the past decade has presented a changing picture and as a result the state is simply not keeping up with increased enrollment needs. There are several reasons for increased college enrollment.

First, there are greater numbers of young people of college age. Second, an increase in the percentage of students completing grade and high school. Formerly* the percentage of high school graduates was small; not so today. Thus, we see more students eligible for college. And third, a higher percentage of high school students seeking admission to colleges because of the Improvement of their income levels, greater motivation and ambition and greater allround opportunity to go to college.

In actual figures, the state has Increased its aid to higher education from $2 million in the 1933-35 period to $59.5 milUon In the current biennium. Thus, no one can claim North Carolina hasnt tried to keep pace with the growing needs of its educational system. The plain fact of the matter is that our potential student rate is outstripping the facilities available.

For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS THE CREATOR AND HIS CREATURES Wisdom.

Is it a matter of schooling? Of diplomas? Of learaed degrees? Not at all. Washington and Lincoln Will always be listed among the world's great, but they had very little education. They were wise. They possessed wisdom. But they had very little learning.

Wisdom has been defined as the art of using knowledge, and this definition is true as far as it goes. But we venture the belief that wisdom is something vastly beyond this. Wisdom is a gift which comes from God Himself out of the blue, as it were. Our brains are like the antennae which pick up radio and television messages. Our brains do not originate wisdom they lay hold on the wisdom sent out from (^s infinity.

Then its pretty much a fatalistic matter isnt it? If we have a good brain, okay, if we do not, then its just too bad. But this is only part of the story, and a very small part. The brain can be improved. Even the wisest people in the world use only a very small percentage of their brain capacity. We can all become many times wiser than we are if we set ourselves to learning how to catch that subtle supernatural thing called wisdom which comes to us out of the blue straight from the hands and fingers of God.

All life Is mysterious. Nothing is more mysterious than the factor we call wisdom. It is Gods thoughts being shared with His creatures.

I see that Murray Kemplon, the Liberal, has discovered that Fulton Lewis, Jr., and I are not being swept away by what the President calls Extreme.. Rightism. But then Lewis and I do not seek to change the world but to preserve it. We find that some of our colleagues on the Right, like so mariy on the Left, are anxious to change everything swiftly.

That Is a problem that faces <55*11 men who think about what they are doing. If we object to Lenin, as we do. it is not because lenin wore whiskers or was bom in Russia, but because we think that he has substituted materialism for morality. Bill Buckley prefers Thomas Aquinas as a leader and I prefer Moses Maimonides w'hich comes to the same thing. When we go back another thousand years or so, we split off and I remain a Jew and he becomes a Catholic, but again the difference is slight if we stick to essentials.

On the other hand, Lenin has nothing to offer us and the John Birch Society and similar Extreme Rightists even less because they are neither materialists nor idealists: they are battlers against those whom they hate. I, at any rate, find hatred unnecessary. It is a waste of intellectual effort and it is sheer emotionalism.

I was looking at an album ot pictures and beautiful scrolls, illumined on parchment, In Francis Robinsons office at the Metropolitan Opera House. It was a delightful thing got together for David Belasco by the Board of Directors of the Met on the appearance of The Girl of the (3old-en West. What is so stirrmg about the Album to me is the small fact that those who put the show on the road were all great souls and are still remembered.

There was David Belasco who dared to give the theater something better than a shrill musical; there was Puccini, idol of a new era of opera who brought together East and West in music and ideas: there was Toscanini who lived long enough to be the greatest in his field. And there was Enrico Caruso, endowed by God with perfection in artistry.

It was a period of peace and during peace, the arts bloom and it is during a period of peace that men think honestly because they are not afraid.

It is fear that drives us into false directions. And we do move in false directions because we not only fear the future about which we know nothing but the consequences of our mistakes about which we know a great deal now.

The difference between the era of Belasco, who could give us The Girl of the Golden West, and today when we^ have failed to meet up with our responsibilities and accept our defeats as victories and our stupidities as signs of genius, is that in thos days there was time to do things slowly and sanely and today we must rush because otherw'ise the missile will beat us to the punch.

A member of Congress bawled me out because whereas he and I agreed on fundamentals which is that we have lost so much time during the past two decades that our civilization is in peril, he felt that we could restore our strength by adhering rigidly to the ccmcepts of our Founding Fathers, whereas I felt that we must take drastic actions.

He. I am sure, has not had the experience of a cancer. I have. The question is, does one live or die and the answer must not only be swift but it must be correct and it must be made by one manthe doctor who has to cut the cancer out. There are no alternatives and the very method employed may be the killing factor. But one either dies or goes on living and no one can guarantee that the cure will not kill.

I remember when I lay in a haspltal bed decisionless. AU power was concentrated in this strange person whom I had to trust. I had no knowledge, no experience, no .wisdom. I either believed that what he did was right or I took my chances and accepted the consequences. (Continued on Page 5)
