lime Out For Fence-Mendina

By LYNN NISBET LLL Several people have commented on the fact that members of Congress have been spending some time at home during the past few days. They are nd running out on any duties at Washington. Monday was Lincolns birthday and a great many of the big Republicans had to go back to their home states to make Lincoln Day speeches and otherwise celebrate the occasion. The Democrats were just as eager to have a little time mending political fences ahead of the spring and summer primaries So by common consent it was agreed that no important matters would be brought to the floor of either ' branch of the Congress this week.

JUDGES The constitution of North Carolina provides for the popular election of judges of the superior courts and justices of the Supreme Court. Majority of the states have similar provision for election of Judges by the people. In North Carolina, however, and perhaps In the other bailiwicks, judges first go on the bench by executive appointment. Every member of our Supreme Court, except Justice Hunt Parker, first went in by appointment although every one of them ha.s

this and other countries for many years.

Another plan is believed to be unique. So far as can be learned it has not been tried out anywhere in the United States.

This is called the-North Carolina Independent Tour Plan and it was devised by Ted Dan-ziger, a native of Austria, who operates the Rathskellai and the Ranch House restaurants at Chapel Hill. Briefly it is this: More than 100 hotels, motels, restaurants and entertainment facilities have joined in a plan whereby cards are distributed in Europe to holders of passports to this country good for the first meal or nights lodging or show at half price. It is not available for Americans. Folders explaining the project will be distributed by the mission to Europe, printed in several languages.

The idea has approval of the U.S. Travel Service in the Department of Commerce and is sponsored by hotel, motel and restaurant associations in tls state.

The reaction of the people cannot be termed impatience, because by and large they are anxious that the orbital flight be attempted only under conditions which offer maximum possibilities for its complete success. There is no escaping the feeling Sometimes they might be right of disappointment, however, that the citizens throughout the nation have shared with those scien-

One is the idea of complete itineraries for two to six daj^ at different points in North Carolina at a fixed overall rate which will Include all expenses. The prices for these planned tours range from $9.00 for two days and one night to $62.00 for five days and nights Including transportation and entertainment. There is nothing new about this kind of travel package idea. It has been used in

since reconstruction days. The idea of Negroes public office is much more generally accepted now than just a few years ago. Colored members of town and city governing bodies are common.

Over in Forsyth County one W.R. Crawford, who is a member of the city governing board, and who last year got a very creditable vote in the executive committee for a vacant seat in the Legislature has announced his candidacy. Information is that almost certainly there will be Negro candidates in Guilford, Mecklenburg and Wake and perhaps other counties.

In each of these counties there Is a heavy registration of Negro voters, and it has been practice in the past for many of them to vote for only one candidate when there are three or more places to fill. That tends to build up disproportionate strength for the single favorite. It isnt hard to find a bet in Forsyth that Crawford will be one of the legislators in 1963.

WASHINGTON AP) -The whole tortured and gloomy problem of disarmament Is summed up In two condltlms laid dowm by President Kennedy.

1. Any disarmament agreement, he told his news conference Wednesday, would have to cover the world and that must ultimately include Red China.

2. And he said any agreement must Include an effective inspection system.

So one condition requires approval by the unpredictable Red China. The other Inspection calls for agreement on what has been unobtainable after years of negotiations.

But the Red Chinese, whom this country won't even recognize as the legitimate government of mainland China, are not among the 18 nations which sit down at Geneva March 14 to try to reach a disarmament agreement.

Even if the 18 did reach an agreement it could not. In Kennedy's own words, have real meaning unless Red China was then brought In and, this is the truly unpredictable, agreed to what the 18 had agreed.

The ultimate problem is as simple and as horribly complex as that, remembering its the Red Chinese who despise the doctrine of peaceful coexistence and insist communism must triumph through conflict.

The more immediate problem. just as complex. Is getting the United States and Russia to agree on disarmament terms which Include an inspection system to prevent cheating.

Russia says inspection Is spying.

The two sides have kicked around the idea of general disarmament since shortly after World War II, Banning nuclear test.s became linked with it after 1954, a year In which the United States and Russia had big tests.

From then on both sides came under. Increasing pressure to talk about banned tests altogether. They started talking Oct. 31, 1958. and, on and off. had 353 sessions which finally broke up Jan. 29. 1962.

In that time it might seem they made some progress: They agreed to a preamble and 17 articles of a draft treaty; and Russia even made a switch and accepted the American principle of inspection.

If that looks impressive, it shouldnt:

1. The Russians, who had refused to consider making test bans a part of general disarmament talks, made a switch and

decided they should be handled together.

Then, when the United States agreed to this, Russia re-switched and said: Nothing doing.

2. While the Soviets agreed to the principle of inspection they made a job of it by insisting that (a the chief inspector on Russian territory must be a Russian and (b) that Russia could veto Inspection.

So years of talking boil down to this: The Russians have refused to agree to any inspection system that means anything; and. without It, Kennedy says there can be no agree-(Continued on Page 6)

Washington, Lincoln and Lee, all bom in February, leave the month unrivaled as a time for the contemplation of American heroes. Of the three. Lincoln is certainly most enthralling. because most human. Washington and Lee died assured of their places in the American pantheon; had neither lifted a sword, his position was already carved out. The two great generals were bom to command; and neither, to the nations good fortune, trifled with his heritage.

Our memory of Lincoln, whether we rely on the myth of the plains rail-splltter or on the view of scholars that behind the rough, ironic features there existed perhaps the most complex character ever joined to the presidency, is entirely different. Lincoln was born with no credentials. He told the newspapers, after his nomination, that his early life belonged to what Gray called the short and simple annals of the poor.

There would be long years of apprenticeship and failure before his chance came, and even seizing his chance he would be despised and reviled.

Lincoln, then, attracts us by his struggle and his doubt, and what was surely, on his part, an inability to decide what kind of fame he wanted. Whether he Is the abashed man who became President on the eve of

Sumter, tom with doubt over the nature of the Union; the Emancipator of slaves who undertook the humanest of presidential acts under the naked pressure of war politics and must have sensed its deep moral ambiguity; or the morose, troubled man who saw, on the eve of his assassination, a vision of his own bierhe is always doubting, and always tom.

Lincoln must have been a running quarrel with himself. By nature he was a fatalist and poet who, had he sought or found more personal outlets, Would have rivaled the writer of Ecclesiastes. But he enjoyed no birthright of power something he obviously coveted. His ambition, said his law partner William Herndon, was a little engine that knew no rest.

Lincoln, fundamentally the mystic, poet and teacher, was destined to be remembered as statesman and politician. But have shunned his deepest longings, the part of him honed by Bunyan and the Bible. Shakespeare and Gray, he lived only to feel that he had also misapplied himself, and had been a failure at political power.

He died, no doubt, struggling with himself little knowing whether he was, as he passionately desired to be. a good man as well as a powerful man. Devouring time has vindicated him. But he never lived to know it.

of thesethey are straight from the children themselves.

Of course, we have hardly listed all the spellings of the above words.

Not too very long ago, we wrote something about the creative child, as opposed to the academically talented child (and other forms of children such as specially educated prodigies, delinquents, pink, green and blue).

Now we propose the question: Are the children who Invented the above spellings for words they didnt know creative in the same creative sense, or are they grasping for straw's?

Wed say the child who spelled require as rechoir was using some inventiveness and showed a high degree of intelligence.

Opinions 'n Brief

Many a teen-ager decides he would rather go to work than go to school. The money he could earn looks extremely attractive. What he overlooks is the fact that in earning a few dollars a week he will be losing $70 a day. Why? Because a high school graduate during his adult earning years will earn about $50,000 more than the eighth grade graduate. And that means, in effect, for each day a youngster spends going to high school he is earning about $70.Chattanooga (Tenn.) News-Pree Press

The Presidents brother is maklnf a hit on his trip in Asia. Many regard Bobby Kennedy as a tough guy but if betog direct and straight-forward and saying what one believes to be*true is to be tough, then Robert F. Kennedy presents to the American public and to the world the kind of American that we used to know before we began to polish up. The Japanese Communists got a touch of Bobbys way when they were scared away from debating him.

The simplicity of the man and his wife is beyond doubt new to Asiatics and some may thlnie^that Bobby is putting on But they will soon know that this Is a well-organized mind, capable of dealing with facts as they develop and that there is now use attempting to put anything over on him.

Americans generally stand in awe of Europeans and Asiatics and tend to bow before the great, regarding the traditional pomp and ceremony of their surroundings as Important. They will find that while Bobby Kennedv has all the finesse of his brother, he can. with ease, push It all aside and not only skip rope but make ideas move fast bwausc he does not permit position to interfere with conduct.

He walks about his office In his shirts sleeves not as a demonstration- of Jeffersonian democracy but as a matter of choice. He decorates his office with his childrens drawings which he regards as good art and if anyone prefers Picasso, they are free to pursue their taste.

President Kennedy made no mistake in appointing his l)ro-ther Attorney General. He has turned that Into a hard, functioning office based upon a pr(ram that does not seek sensationalism but produces results.

Undoubtedly the weakest link in the administrative chain of any Administration is the State Department. This is no criticism of Dean Rusk. It is a product of accumulation of errors beginning in the Roosevelt Administration when President Roosevelt Ignored Secretary of State Cordell Hull and operated through a series of under secretaries, thus creating n administrative confusion As a consequence the chain of command became dislodged and gave the irremovable lower echelon an authority in the formation of policy to which it was not entitled,

Robert Kennedy will see the maneuverings of small minds to keep themselves in jobs while great events are permU ted to pass them by. He wii: catch the frauds as they are practiced and he will observe the fraudulent personalitiee who will substitute theatrica] accents and mannerisms for propriety of conduct. We have a way of thinking of many o' these personalities as subvers Ive when actually they are only Incompetent. They are not subversive; they are often stu^ pld.

The stupid had better play their fol-de-rol on Boh Kennedy. He will see thro i them as swiftly as his bro but his response is likel be rougher. He has less t. ^ to be merciful. His interest in foreign policy Is acute but that does not mean that there Is to be a conflict between Bobby Kennedy and Dean Rusk. It simply means that the President's brother Is going to have a look around at what Is going on.

The first job of diplomacy, whether conducted by the State Department or indirectly by the CIA, is to keep the President Informed as to the details of situations. The evidence is likely to show that the President is not Informed neither swiftly nor accurately enough.

For some incalculable reason the hearings of the Eastland Committee have thus far been suppressed but there can be no doubt that their publication would establish that as regards Cuba, the President was improperly informed and probability is that tls has happened throughout the world. The techniques of information therefore need to be reorganized and speeded up. A slow-minded, self-serving, opinionated second secretary of an embassy can (Continued on Page 5)

Now that the Internal Revenue Service has turned a newly peeled eye on tax deductions for gifts of art, tax lawyers are developing a new deduction: the value of manuscripts, letters and other literary, remainders.

Variety reports that Ralph Newman, a show biz attorney, has been appraising such works for such persons as Edna Fer-ber, Charles Addams and John Gunther, and for Broadcast Music. Inc. When works of established value are given to institutions, the donor can deduct the value up to 20 per cent of his gross Income or, if given to a recognized religious, medical or educational institution, up to 30 per cent.

The Library of Congress, Mr. Newman said, is giving evaluation of material donated to it for just such purposes,

THE ART BIT This opens up a vast new area of deductions. The older movie compahles, for instance, may have .tons pf manuscripts.

letters, contracts, films and even old costumes which might Command high appraisals and. which, if given away to the right institutions, could reduce taxes 20 or 30 per cent.

It would also permit many authors to reduce the tax bite In years in which they wrote hits or best sellers.

The IRS can have no objections to these deductions as long as the appraisals are valid.

But, In the field of painting at least, Commissioner Mortimer M. Caplin has said that the IRS Is closely watching "willful attempts to evade tax and w'ould prosecute appraisers and others involved as well as the taxpayer.

Mr. Caplin referred to the practice of selling art at one price and certifying its' value at .several times the selling price. An art .sale.sman can offer a painting for $10.000 and promise that a recognized art appraiser will certify Its value at $40,000.

The purchaser can later give

it to an institution. If he is In the 60 per cent tax bracket. It saves him $24,000 in taxes a happy, happy return on hit $10,000 investment.

MAY BE RIGHT

The funny part about this la that the appraisers may be right. Art prices have been rla-Ing so rapidly (partly because of demand by tax avoiders) that a painting bought for $10,-000 may, in a few years, be worth $40,000. But Mr. Caplin Is not concerned about those cases; he is Interested In conspiratorial appraisers.

A number of art dealers have suggested setting up an appraisal board to work with the government. This Idea has leas mel It than appears. Since dealers generally profit on Increases to valuations, the board would tmd to< be biased on the upward side.

Meanwhile, Prentlce-HaHs Executive Tax Reports says that a va.st amount of art has bJen pledged to instltutlona. and that wills In existence will give the 'Metropolitan Museum

of Art $100 million In art. This, the editors say, la a fantastic waste of hard-earned dollars! The waste, they say, would be about $24 million.

WASTE IS RELATIVE There are a couple of flaws here. There Is no proof that the dollars were hard-earned, manv may have been inherited. And the waste does not exi.st To be sura, heirs will lose that amount but the government will gain It. If the heirs save it. other taxpayers will have to make up the jnilllon.

The Tax Report suggests the donors should give the Museum title to .the property at once by deed of flft, reserving n lifetime interest. The donor can get an immediate tax deduction but can continue to enjoy the painting as long as he lives This process will nor, decrease when he dies, and will not increase estate tax.
