Didnt Adhere To Policy Statements

His Sweeping Proposals**

Routing awards handed down by the Civil Aeronautics Board this week for Feidmont schedules ihrough Eastern North- Carolina killed, for all practical purposes, a decade of efforts to acquire a major area airport for this section of the state.

In the face of the CAB decision regarding the joint application of Wilson and Greenville for commercial air sei^dce, the Board indicated its favor individual community points of service rather than inter-city efforts to join together in using one air facility.

At least on the surface, the decision excluding service for a joint Wilson-Greenville undertaking appears in direct conflict with assertions of the CAB that it favors cities banding together to seek new air .service.

Less than a year ago the Federal Aviation Agency and the CAB issued a joint policy statement on the development of air carrier airports which concluded with the following paragraph:

'The Federal Aviation Agency and the Civil Aeronautics Board agree that the use of a single airport ser\ing adjacent communities, where such action may result in a saving^ both to the Federal Government and the locality' served, as well as improving the air service to the area, should be an increasingly important factor in considering applications for federal funds for airport construction and applications for certificated airline service.

The action of the CAB this week in refuting its own examiners recommendation for certificated sendee at a joint Wilson-Greenville airport spoke much louder than its words of last

We can only conclude that if tie^^AB is not guided at least in part by its own assertions when it comes to certificating air service, it cannot expect cities of the countr>' which are seeking air service to be guided by policy statements of the CAB.

Certainly we do not begrudge the additional air service awarded this week to our neighboring

Mountains See Tourism Grow

By BUD WILSON

LINVILLE. N. C. - Tourism and vacation visits increase yearly in North Carolina and nowhere in the State has larger growth of this industry been noted than in the mountains.

Not only do Tar Heels like to retreat to the cool mountains, but the area has been draw-ing more and more people from Florida, Ohio and Georgia Many have established summer homes.

To help meet the increased demand for tourist facilities, several established attractions have begun expansion programs.

Grandfather Mountain for example, opens its new visitor facility on April 1. The new structure presented something of a challenge to Its architect, Charles Hartman of Greensboro, because it had to be desiged to withstand the severe winds and rime ice of winter The new building features a meeting room for civic or fraternal sessions and can sea^ 200 people. Atop the building are the new U. S. Weathr Bureau instruments, also specially designed to withstand high winds. In past winters since the Weather Station was established nine years ago. Instruments have been de-atroyed each winter and the new ones are expected to save that loss.

One other sidelight of the new building atop the highest mountain in the Blue Ridge is the hinged flag pole. As with the Weatem Bureau instruments, Grandfather Mountain has had to replace its flag pole after each winter. Now when winds In excess of 125 miles an hour are anticipated, the new pole is merely lowered and saved.

Elsewhere In the mountains. Twectfile Railroad between Boone and Blow'ing Rock has announced a $800.000 expansion program which will begin immediately.

An amusement park and a chair Mft are among the major

The CAB decision handed down this week has done more to discourage efforts to establish joint air facilities than any of its statements has in recent years to encourage the sort of development it has said it favors. 1"

Bloodiest Battles In Algeria Still Ahead?

In spite of high hopes that the cease-fire agreement reached between the French and the Moslems in Igeria will end more than seven years of warfare, the dark cloud of the European Secret Army still looms as a force to be reckoned with.

These Europeans who are determined to keep Algeria French have defied the deGaulle government openly by words and action. They have fought the cease-fire, aiid already they have voiced their intention to continue the war which alreadjr has cost more than 17,000 lives of French soldiers and and 141,000 Moslems. Unless the secret army is persuaded to lay down its arms, Algeria will continue to be torn by civil strife and bloodshed.

President deGaulles ability to negotiate a cease fire between his government and the Algerian rebels appears to be only'the first step in restoring peace to Algeria. It has, in effect, brought together two of the elements which have been carrying on the fight for Algeria, the French government and the Moslems. There remains, however, the third element of the secret army.

Whether the first two groups will have to join in open warfare against the third before an election of self-determination can be held in Algeria remains to be seen.

Suffice it to say that the cease-fire w-hich has been effected in Algeria is no guarantee that the bloodbath will not continue. The bloodiest battles may still be ahead.

items planned for Tweetsle.

Ghost Mountain at Magpie Valley \^ill soon open for its econd year after a very successful launching last spring.

Many new motels and several new restaurants have opened in the mountains of North Carolina during the past year, indicating that the tourist business is indeed continuing to increase.

The opening of the new link of the popular Blue Ridge Parkway at Waterrock Knob adds still more interest in that, the most popular of scenic routes in America.

PROMOTING TRAV'EL Most industries take market .surveys, and the tourist industry is no exception. It has become evident in the past two years that the Carolina Mountains have become a prime target of Floridians who seek escape from the heat.

Spot checks indicate North Carolina residents omtinue to travel tte most in their own mountains, followed by South Carolinians and Virginians. But Florida continues to send more tourists than would normally be imagined.

Ohio. Michigan. Georgia and Maryland, as well as Washington, D. C.. continue to be important sources of tourists, too. at least as far as the Tar Heel mountains are concerned.

Thus many people engaged in the travel Industry in the mountains are taking part in the Cincinnati Travel Show and are-beginning to look with considerable interest to the South to see what can be done to attract still more visitors.

For dollars expended, probably the greatest return in promotion of the Carolina mountains would be derived from investment in whatever can be done to sell Florida. Alabama. Georgia, Ohio, Maryland and other states within comfortable driving range that the mountains of western North Carolina are the ideal summer spot for those who enjoy clear, crisp air, cool nights, and scenery that cannot be surpassed.

Geft Evader O:: Head-On Clash

By JAMES MARLOW

WASHINGTON (AP) - If President Kennedy w^ere a traffic cop, there d be no head-on crashes at his comer, at least head on into him.

After 14 months in office hes a firm believer that a soft answer tumeth away wrath and that grievous words stir up anger.

He uses the soft, and avoids the grievous, particularly with people with whom he has to keep on doing business.

In this year alone a number of people have headed straight for him, but he managed to detour them without using a blackjack.

One was New Yorks Gov. Nelswi A. Rockefeller who, like the very conservative Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona, is a possible Republican presidential candidate in 1964.

Rockefeller accused Kennedy of political fakery when the President said hed like to have a Negro, Robert C. Weaver, head up a proposed department of urban affairs and housing.

Kennedy w'as asked about the governors crack at his n e x t news conference. He could have gotten into a shouting match with the governor. But he brushed him aside. He said he ftad heard nobody could get to the right of Goldwater but now he doubted it.

Next came the highly conservative Sen. Strom Thurmond, South Carolina Democrat, w'ho went after the Kennedy administration for censoring military officers, speeches and forced a Senate investigation.

It was just at the time Kennedy, rejecting Soviet Premier Khrushchevs bid for a summit meeting at the disarmament conference, said things ought to be worked out first at a lower level by foreign ministers.

At his next news conference a reporter, noting it w'as Valentine Day. asked Kennedy about having a heart-to-heart," talk with Thurmond who had called his foreign policy defeatist.

Kennedy, instead of giving Thurmond what-for, grinned and suggested a meeting with the senator should first be arranged at a lower level, Not long afterward Thurmond excitement about censorship melted away.

This week the President and former Vice President Richard M. Nlxoni, who bumped heads in the 1960 presidential race, tangled again. Nixon started the tangling.

In his new book Nixon said he got angry at Kennedy in 1960 for calling for action against Fidel Castro after being briefed by the Eisenhower administra

tion that a Cuban invasion was being prepared.

Kennedy avoided a direct clash with Nixon. Instead of answering the California himself, he had the White House issue a statement that he had not been told about the invasion plans until briefings after the election.

The. President was supported in this by Allen W. Dulles who, as head of the Central Intelligence Agency in 1960, was the one who briefed Kennedy. He said he had never told him about the invasion plans during the campaign.

At Wednesdays news conference a reporter went fishing with a question about Nixon. It Was a good chance for Kennedy to cut loose on his former rival. Instead, he said the White House .statement had finished the business.

One of the wonders of Ws^h-ington is how Kennedy can refrain from going after both the Republicans and his own Democrats who try to massacre his programs.

He may feel he wants to avoid conflict with Democrats in the belief some of them can be won over later if no ill will is created. He can hardly feel, however, he can do the same with the Republicans.

The prime example of letting an opponent off the hook without tearing his pants also came Wednesday In the case of Rep. Carl Vinson. Georgii Democrat and pew'erful chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.

Vinson not only wanted Kennedy to spend far more money on the RS70 bomber than the President thinks necessary but, in his enthusiasm, wanted the House to direct the President to do TO.

If the House did. It would have meant Congress w'as interfering with the Presidents authority. Kennedy said hed restudy the problem but the word direct must come out. Vinson backed down, defeated.

Kennedy must do business with Vinson many times in the future. At his news conference Wednesday he tried to save face for the Georgian. He said there was "no winner and no loser* In their fight.

Yesterdays report of increasing service rendered by Pitt Memorial Hospital (more patients, more days of care, etc.) in the annual report to the trustees, called to mind a problem met head on by the Wayne Memorial Hospital board.

Some months ago that hospital took up the problem of hospital visitation and announced that unless visitors began to show some measure of heeding rules and such, there w'as going to be tough measures imposed.

The Goldsboro News-Argus took up the cudgels, and air

ed some of the everyday gripes of hospital staffers and patients. It turned out the visiting situation in Haywood County Hospital was much the same; but thats another story. Back to the News-Argus:

Professional visitors who regularly make the rounds of w-ards to visit patient they barely know, and patients' they dont know, came in for hard knocks. (Patients didnt want em, and they cluttered up crowded corridors and wards.)

"No smoking signs were ignored, and one patient with an

Other Editors .Saying ,, Shirtless Ones Return

(Christian Science Monitor)

Irony lies heavy over the Argentine election results.

President Prondlzl has been set back essentially because of the legacy of economic chaos left him by dictator Juan Peron.

But at the next elections Perons followers may possibly reap the economic fruits of Prondizis long austerity program.

Once more the forces most devoted to responsible democratic government in Argentina have been forced to use undemocratic means on its behalf.

Argentinas slap at the Alliance for Progress may help persuade a hesitant United States Congress that funds for the alliance are crucial at this time.

Such paradoxes seem normal for Latin-American affairs at this point. They are so mainly because of the kind of economic time lag that has so bedeviled Arturo Frondizis four years in power.

Genuine liberal refohners who have come to power (Venezuelas Betancourt, Colombias Llears Camargo, Prondizi. etc.), have inherited bankruptcy from expelled dictators of the right. Castrolst (or Peronist) firebrands who challenge their power can promise Impatient audiences a chicken in every pot. Castros example no chickens and very few beans in every potis blurred by distance and el dorado oratory. And the alliancethe responsi^ ble but not very dramatic alternative-may, like Prondizis austerity program, produce few Immediate results for the shirt-less ones.

The Argentine elections help explain what to many North Americans and Europeans was a puzzling performance six weeks ago. At that, time the more modem industrialized states of Latin America the ABC countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile) plus Mexicowere the abstainers in hemispheric moves against Castroism. The strong states were apparently the weakest. Senor Prondizi himself made overtures to pro-Castro leftist groups in his country.

This weeks election returns indicate that his wooing was not enough. The potent descamisados shirtless ones of Peron8 day had risen again. And they are being used, wherever possible, by local Castro-ists and Communists.

Alliance for Progress officials are dealing with established governmentsthe inside of each country. The descamisados have been essentially outside the government and economies of their countries. The alliance seeks to reach the outsiders via the insiders. The method is social and economic reform. But impatience with the establishment sometimes mounts past the exploding point, as has been the case In the Argentine vote and Guatemalan student riots.

The solution lies in cutting 'the dangerous economic time lag. Congressmen in the United States are confronted with the necessity of taking a calculated risk and approving money for an advance wave of dramatic village-level projects. The best cure for the descamisados impatience is news that in some areas democratic governments have been able to make chickens appear In humble pots.

oxygen tent (and no-smoking sign) was badly shook by vivid imagination of perils involved.

Then there were instances wherein too many visitors left patients in such a state they needed sedatives at the end of the ordeal.

There was also the complaint that No Visitors signs were frequently ignored, and the visitors who disregarded such signs were often belligerent when asked to stand aside or leave the rooms.

Visiting hours? At Wayne Memorial that was apparently something for the birds.

Sundays corridor traffic was described as often so bad that nurses and doctors had trouble getting through the crowds to give medical treatment.

One Goldsboro hospital patient wrote his corridor audience problem was solved by closing the door, "But first thing I knew a guy burst In without knocking. Never saw him before. He was about as surprised as I was and I firmly believe he thought Isolation was a medical term for "Mens Room. ...

These complaints were liberally publicized by the Golds-'boro' p>aper as a service to patients and the hospital staff. The purpose, of course, was to head off necessity of stringent measures that nobody wanted but would have to be imposed if the situation didnt improve.

All this happened several weeks ago, and Ive been watching to learn the outcome. 'Thus far, Ive read nothing to indicate the hospital board had to call in the police or sheriffs Department. Maybe airing the problem helped.

The Wayncsville Mountaineer (in Haywood County) followed the Goldsboro story and recently let it be known their local hospital was suffering from the same problems and cautioned unless the situation cleared 'up their hospital could and would take drastic measures.

Of course we don't have any of these problems in Pitt Memorial Hospital. Visitors scrupulously read and heed all signs. No more than two visitors are ever found at one time at a patients bedside. Family only signs are duly heeded. You never see smoking when signs advise otherwise. And professional visitors or sightseers looking around to see if they know anyone, Just dont exist here.

Did someone just raise their eyebrows?

The problem that President Kennedy faces, as President Eisenhower faced it, is how to disengage tine United States not only from the complications of World War U but" the consequences of a long series of events and agreements prior and subsequent thereto. It Is very much like an Individuals attempt to get out from under, as the expression goes. It very often Is impossible.

To the layman, this particular problem always seems easy. Some say that we ought to go to war with Soviet Russia and thus solve all problems. Others say that an atomic war is the most horrible event Imaginable and that if. to avoid such a war, It Is necessary to give In to Khrushchev, then we ought to give In. But Khrushchev Is not our only problem. What about all the financial obligations we have undertaken in all parts of the world? Must we keep on pouring out our wealth? Must we accept the responsibility for every new country that has come into existence? And must we keep the United Nations alive even should it prove to be an Instrument for our

damage? , , ^

Some say. why not let these little countries go their own way even if that way leads to the Kremlin. Others say that we assumed the responsibility of world leadership and that having gone this far, there Is nothing we can do about it. And thea there is a mass of Am^ can public opinion which mak' distinctions between the Ooun-trles they like and the countries they dislike irrespective of American interests. There are the Anglophiles and Francophiles and those who love or hate Spain, and the Old China Hands who would destroy Mao Tze-tungs regime and those who would use food to rescue all peoples from the consequences of their sins by giving them our surplus wheat and butter and whatever comes to hand and there are those who would let all Communists starve to prove that Marxism is a failure. Need we strengthen our enemies so that they might bite the hand that feeds them?

Public opinion in a free country is Inevitably mixed because each individual sees things as his knowledge and experience permit and he always can back his opinion by a vote. Besides, we believe that out of debate will come the truth.

Thus, an American President, in his first term, is a prisoner of the complex of differing views. He might succeed as Roosevelt did to direct the force of public opinion into the channels that he chose, but Roosevelt, the politician, was at the beghining of a phase of history in which we still find ourselves and he was extraordinarily popular, although as some of us believe then, as more believe now, undeservedly. It was his personal popularity which made it possible for him, in his second term, to make vast alterations In our economic and social system and in his third term to involve this country in what eventually became World War II. If World War I was an historical error. World War II and our partnership with Soviet Russia. particularly our wUllngnesa to sacrifice the British and Dutch Empires to Soviet Russia, proved to be a magnificent tragedy, Teheran and Yalta will go down in American history as headstones of defeat.

However, it is not easy to stay within the margins of our responsibilities without bringing on a war, if not on us, then one with our allies and our new friends, the former foes. Nor is it easy to disengage ourselves from these responsibilities without giving Soviet Russia a free hand to conquer much of the world. Two ideas, conflicting ideas, offer themselves as remedies;.

One is that we use friendship, propaganda, educational exchanges. good-will and all the virtues of our civilization and the advantages of our wealth to aid nations to rise in their standards of life and to find it in their hearty to love u?;

The other is to continue the arms racfi with Soviet Russia until the overwhelming cost of missiles, rockets, satellites and similar' exhibitionistic instni-(Oontinued on Page 6)

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS SECURITY Every parent should bear In mind that the happiness of a child depends most of all upon his sense of security. This is sometimes not recognized, but It is absolutely fundamental in the cultivation of happy and creative childhood. The child must feel secure In his environment. He must be sure of the love of his parents; he must have great cimfldence In tbelr wlsdom> he must have complete trust in their integrity. The greatest eyfl of divorce is not just that it' leaves one parent to raise a child, but that it leaves a child bereft of that sense of security which the presence of two loving parents produces. Widows frequently raise children quite successfully. It Is not absolutely essential that

a child have two parents to be well raised. But when a child' has two parents that are separated. he loses much of that sense of security which comes from loving cooperation. Educators everywhere maintain that most of their discipline problems arise among children from divorced homes. The reason is that the child, having lost his sense of secuHty, Inwardly protests and frequently goes haywire.

The most fertile soil in which childllfe can grow Is that of security. Give a child a sense of security and you prevade his nature with a .sense of well-being and,balance from which normal life develops

True love ,means security, and upon security childhood almost invariably depends for liappiness.

By ELMER ROESSNER

Each spring, William Karpinsky. of American Cyanamld previews the years collective bargaining for the American Management Associations Management Review. Here arc significant excerpts from his 1962 forecast:

"The shorter work week and other means of reducing working time without loss of pay will be appearing more frequently in collective bargaining negotiations during the years ahead. This does not mean that wage demands will be abandoned; in fact, pressures for greater wage increases will mount during 1962

The drive for greater employee security is becoming a real force among employees. Higher pensions, vested pension rights, company payment of full health and insurance plan premiums, relocation and severance pay, job training when transferred, pi^ for lost time due to short cheduled work weeks . . .are being pushed more vigorously. . . 1

KKSLSTANCK

Employer resistance to

shortened weeks is strong, however. simply because reduced hours without a corresponding cut in pay is too costly a package in these times of declining profit margins. . . .

Work rules will grow important as management attempts to curtail wasteful practices and unions strive to retain and expand job security. It might be recalled that it was the toilettime controversy that did much to precipitate the two most widespread strikes In recent years: steel in 1959 and autos in 1%1. . . .

"The prospects of profit shar-Ing being widely* adopted are not very bright. . .

Theoretically, the benefits of productivity should be shared by labor through higher wages. by business through higher profits, and by the consumer through lower prices. Actmly, however, total wages and salaries in private industry have risen about 75 per cent and average weekly wages by about 50 per cent since 1950. while corporate profits before taxes hav? grown about 10 per cent nd Inustrlal profits have advanced about 22 per cent.

Karpinsky did not report It, but consumer prices rose 24.7 per cent in the same period. MODERATE AGE INCREASES Continuing his preview: "Direct wages will probably continue to move in the range of of 6 to 8 cents per hour in manufacturing with bigger gains being forced in transportation and construction. Wage advances held within these ranges would average slightly more 3 per cent, which is a considerable Improvement, from an Inflation standpoint, over the 4 to 5 per cent increases of five years ago. . .

In the export Industries, the bargaining position of unions be strengthened by added output aimed abroad and they will press more mllitantly for subjective benefits unless deterred by strong management resistance of government fiat. . , The Administration is confronted by a serious dilemma in combatting wage-push inflation. . .The failure of the government wage pause policies in England and France attest the difficulty. Education of the public and the call for voluntary restraints Is one approach

but,, as demonstrated abroad,* its chance of success is not cheering. . .

If a general settlement in steel Is followed by individual plant walkouts over local Issues, as was the case after last years automobile negotiations, managements. . .may have second thoughts about the value of one big negotiation. . . .

Internal bickering in the APL-CIO does not foreshadow a weakened labor movement at the bargaining table; on the contrary. It spells trouble for management. . . .

There Is every* expectation that the National Labor Relations Board will feature reversals of past rulings and new administrative Interpretations that will be favorable to labor. Picketing curbs will be eased, freedom of expression by employers will be curtailed, union security applications will be curtailed, union security applications will be broadened, government pressure on nonunion plants undergoing organization will be Increased and union aims in general will be promoted. . . Activities. , .Illegal yesterdaj will be legal tomorrow.
