Tennessee, however, is not the only state interested in the question at hand. Indeed, in many states the question of legislative apportionment has

Ways N. c:

To Boost xDorts

Bj WADE LUCAS Information Officer, State Dept, of Conservation and Development Cuest Writer

EXPORTS Some 200 of North Carolina's better known businessmen got together In Chapel Hill this past Saturday to devise ways and means of boosting the States export trade In the fast growing foreign markets.

They attended the first Export vclopment Conference and Workshop sponsored by the Department of Conservation and Development as a part of Its 1962 program to aid further business development in North Carolina, a State which is now producing manufactured goods having an annual oatput value of more than $9 billion.

They heard Secretary of Commerce Luther H. Hodges tell of the effect of this nations exports on its total economy.

They were told the objective of the conference-workshop is to Increase North Carolinas share of the tremendous export market by shoaing firms what products are now being sold abroad, what additional products could be sold, and how North Carolina firms can obtain some of this business.

PLANS The conferees heard representatives of the . S. Department of Commerce, the North Carolina State business COTcems discuss world markets. export financing, and other phases of the export business. They were told the Department of Commerce and the State of North Carolina will provide all possible assistance in helping them expand their export trade.

They talked exports. They planned exports. They agreed that more of North Carolinas manufactured goods can be exported annually than the S400 million in such goods that Secretary of the Treasury C. Douglas DUlion said were exported In 1961. and they agreed that more of the States agricultural commodities can be sold abroad than the slightly more than $200 million marketed in foreign lands last year.

Plans discus.sed at length in this major effort to sell more North Carolina-made goods abroad aill be further developed and put Into operation.

North Carolinians did not need to be so forcefully reminded by Secretary Dillon in hi.s speech in Raleigh the other night to the North Caiolina Citizens Association that North Carolina has a tremendous stake in the nations export trade. The States business

leaders have known this for a long lime. And they have been working with all the resources at their command to do something about it.

REISULTS The States manufacturers have been increasing their exports. In 1960, according to a recent report of the Departmeht of Commerce, North Carolina led the nation in the export of tobacco, textile and furniture products. It also led all other Southeastern states in exports of manufactured products with $391.8 million.

Results are indeed being obtained because of the efforts being made to sell more North Carolinas products abroad. But the feeling is general that the State can boost its export trade by exerting greater efforts at State and local levels and North Carolinians all! hear more and more about what is being done to achieve this.

FAIR A limited number of North Carolina manufacturers arl have the opportunity of displaying their products next September at the world famous Levant Trade Pair in Bari. Italy. The number will be limited because the only space they will have will be In the 4,000 square foot U.S. Pavilion, whose exclusive use has been granted the State by the Department of Commerce and the State Department.

Governor Sanford. In announcing that North Carolina has been given exclusive use of the U.S. Pavilion at the Levant Fair, said North Carolina products to be sold overseas must be displayed overseas

Last year at the North Carolina Trade Fair in Charlotte a large number of foreign visitors viewed and admired the wide variety of North Carolina-made products. North Carolina trade missions have gone abroad to tell about the goods manufactured in this State.

At the Levant Trade Fair, an estimated two million persons will have the opportunity to look at the North Carolina -made products on display in the U.S. Pavilion. And more important buyers from at least 55 nations will get to see what" North Carolina manufacturers are producing and how they can obtain them for sale in their own countries.

Yes. North Carolina Is export-conscious. but it will become even more so as Its leaders step up their efforts, as they are now doing, to obtain a greater share of the ejgwrt trade and thus add more strength and stability to its over-all economy.

WASHINGTON fAP> There is a certain social benefit in nuclear testing. It^enables people to get together afterward with fresh conversation about not testing.

These talks, techhlcal as they may be, are never dull, even though they last for years, for everyone knows they will be interrupted by more testing which then provides more talk about not testing.

There have been enough meetings now of all kinds to persuade the non-gamblers not to risk a bet on the outcome of a summit, either, since the long-established odds are against them.

But Khrushchev, an enter-

Geneva w'here the United States. Britain, Russia and 14 other nations got together March 14 to discuss a ban on nuclear tests.

Probaoly very few people, except those who have no appreciation foi conversation for its owm sake, thought this Geneva discussion would wind up differently from any of those which preceded it.

This one didnt.

Secretary of State Dean Rusk and the other 16 foreign ministers are about ready to head for home 12 days after the opening of the Geneva session.

The United States is expected to resume tests next month, as President Kennedy said it would unless Geneva produced results.

The Russians, judging by the way they behaved at Geneva, will probably resume te.sts. too. In fact, Rusk suggested that's what they must have in mind in refusing to do business at all.

They had previously agreed to the principle of international inspection, to prevent cheating if there ever was an agreement, but they switched at Geneva and wanted no part of it.

If the two big powers now resume tests, it should provide

Nevertheless, this has been a challenging century for those who find it a great consolation to believe that man, through his many discussions about It. has showm an increasing consciousness of the need to disarm and eliminate war.

If the discussions did not result in wars elimination, this can be attributed to such hidden factors as true motives and

Academic standing of an Institution of higher learning Is, Indeed, a difficult item to measure.

We know that Harvard, Yale and Princeton are great institutions, but we dont really know why. Probably their faculties are the best that can be hired and their students the cr^m of the crop graduating from the high schools each year.

We can assume that the ' great institutions of the nations are known and respected because of the little things the public learns of them each year: A professor makes an important scientific discovery; an alumnus distinguishes himself in the world of medicine; a big new endowment program is announced.

Your columnist is c9nvinced that the little things are beginning to add up for our own East Carolina College. As the result of various programs and additions, it^ prestige is mounting, almost without us who live with it every day, knowing it.

The latest in a series of

events which are contributing to this prestige build-up was the announcement of new listings in Marquis Whos Who In America Saturday,

Theres no doubt^hat most of the great colleges and universities could snow ECC under with numbers in this particular volume. But we are concerned here with growth. 'Thus it was gratifying to learn that Greenville had 15 new listings in 32|nd edition of Whos Who. Fourteen of them were staff members at the college and the fifth was J. Herbert Waldrop, chairman of its board of trustees.

This placed Greenville thanks to East Carolina College-only one behind the largest city in the state. Charlotte had 16 new listings. This city w^as also only one behind Durham, home of Duke University, which had 16.

Raleigh with N. C. State College and the state government had nine new listings. Chapel Hill with the University of North Carolina had five, Winston-Salem, which includes Wake Forest, had six and

^ / The great mass of Republi

cans welcome the omscrvatlvcs of various shades of opinion because they may help to win elections for Governors, Senators and Representatives In 1962. Many Republican leaders fear this conservative infiltration, believing that. In time, the conservatives may take over their party as the Americans for Democratic Action have gained mastery of the Democratic Party and as the Liberal Party In New York City has captured New York during an Internecine fight among the Dcm-ocrats.

The conservatives have the advantage of being able, during this early stage of their development, to have a popular candidate for the Presidency, Senator Barry Goldwater. They suffer the disadvantage of being made up of a very young, intellectual group with leadership aspirations and aDilities, and of an over-age element which confuses conservatism with reaction. The RepubUcan Party cannot accept all these elements.

Governor Charles Edison, a leader among conservatives, said at a Mamson Square Garden rally that all conservatives should get together, which is like saying that Norman Thomas should agree with Khrushchev because they both call themselves Socialists. R Is a negation of reality.

In New York State, a new party, the Conservative Party, is being organized mostly by young lawyers. This has attracted considerable attention amOng politicians who fear that should such a party be on the ballot. Governor Nelson Rockefeller would suffer in his effort to be re-elected. Should the Democratic candidate for Governor be Mayor Robert Wagner, two liberals will be running against against each other.

Douglas Caddy, National Director, Young Americans for Freedom, Inc., does not favor a Conservative Party, as a third party. He has said:

As a supporter of Senator Goldwater, I cannot reconcile myself to the strategy mapped out by those who wish to ffeht the political wars of conserva^ tlsm outside the two-party structure. In the case of the announced plan of the newly-organized Conservative Party of New York to oppose Governor Nelson Rockefeller, conservatives should ask themselves: Will the defeat of Governor Rockefeller, admittedly a liberal Republican, and his replacement In Albany by, say. New Yorks Mayor Wagner, an ultra-liberal Democrat, benefit the conservative cause?

It is, of course, a sound question to which the answer could be that such an election might w'eaken the Republican Party in New York State until it losei^ all authority. No one can accept the progressive Republicanism of Senator Jacob Jav-

Greensboro with Womans College had five.

Other North Carolina cities with new listings were: Asheville, 2; Boone, 1; Burgaw, 1; Camp Lejeune, 2; Cullowhee, 1; Fayetteville, 1; Gastonia, 1; Henderson, 1; High Point, 1; Kannapolis, 4; Lexington, 1; Penjbroke. 1; Pisgah Forest, 1; Sanford, 1; Wake Forest, 1; and Wilson, 1.

East Carolinas home town fared well across the nation compared with other college towns. New Haven with Yale had 20 new listings; Atens with the University of Georgia had one; Ann Arbor with the University' of Michigan had 17; Baton Rouge with Lousiana State University had 16; Hanover, N.H. with Dartmouth listed 13; Athens with Ohio University had six; Clemson in South Carolina had one; Columbia, S. C. with the University of South Carolina had 11.

In Virginia Charlottesville with the University of Virginia listed 14; Blacksburg with VPI, 9; Lexington with VMI, 5 and Williamsburg with William and Mary, 13.

The Hague peace conferences of 1899 and 1907 were followed by World War I. The League of Nations, world disarmament conference of 1932 and the talks of naval disarmament by the maritime powers after World War I were followed by World War H.

But the multitude of discussions since then on disarmament of all kinds has dwarfed the combined conversations of all our ancestors on this subject.

There has been no World War III yet. It is even possible if not in 1962 then sometime the nations will actually talk themselves out of a new conflict.

(Washington Daily News)

Four doctors in St. Louis have decided to form a corporation, work for and draw a salary from that corporation, thus deriving certain tax benefits from the venture.

We do not know just what tax benefits wiH accure to the four doctors. The reports indicate that lawyers and tax account-anr.s nave told them that they can form such a corporation and as salaried employes, have more take home pay at the end of the week.

We do not have Information with which to ai^ue the point. But we can say this. Will not working for a corporation do exactly the very thing which so many doctors are now fighting against namely, regimentation of medical knowledge under what they see as a socialized system?

The doctors of this country are making it very clear that they are against the Kennedy medical care program for the aged. The doctors are against it because they see in it a step toward definite socialization of our medical program.

If such great and important facrors as incentive, ambition, private enterprise and the right to .serve as an Individual professional man are stifled iri any sense and by any method, have not the doctors .so Involved, by their own actions, helped stifie a professional responsibility?

We understand that from the legal standpoint, these doctors have l)eeni told that what they are about to do is lawful. But

is It wise? Is it not contrary to the very principles against which they are fighting now as they direct their attention to the Kennedy program?

It would appear to us thati such mention of forming a corporation comes at a most inopportune time. It could serve to furnish ammunition to those who have no fears of a socialized program of medicine. If this experiment works with these four St. Louis jdoctors, will not the experiment prove attractive to many other doctors in many other places of the country?

We admit that we may be entirely WTong in our discussion of this matter. But we are making it here in order that more thouffht can be provoked among all the people regarding the severe medical challenge before us today.

We do not w'ant to see. anything happen which nullifies the effectiveness of the individual doctors role in America. The patient wants to know full wejl at all times that he Is dealing with an individual and not a corporate body. He wants to feel a closeness with his family doctor -I a relationship that is above and beyond upsetting.

If that closeness has already died, then we have another problem. But even then w^e have the challenge to reinstate it swiftly, surely, and conclusively.

The St. Louis experiment could prove a novel one. But as we see It. when the novelty wears off, the results could de.stroy the very idea these four doctors are trying to build.

does not put East Carolina College at the top of the list. But considered with dozens of other exciting things taking place on the local campus, it does indicate tht quality education is becoming a reality at East Carolina College.

The ice cream cone that the Kennedy Administration is offering business, partly to prove that Democrats aren't anti-business after all, has melted considerably.

The Administrations tax bill has a little taste of ca.stor oil in It for business in its tougher rules on expense accounts and on income eanied abioau. The bill also .sets up a tax with-liolding system on dividends and intrrc.st and tightens tuxes on Savings and loan asvKuations.-To ma.sk this taste ^v.as a provision giving business an 8 per cent tax credit for new machinery and equipment. ri.l wa.s c.stimatrd to be an $1.8 billion scoop of Ice cream.

This tax iorgivene.ss wa.; Intended to encourage businc.'S to spend more on these items to

Increase employment, to in-crea.se construction and Industrial sales, and to make, plants competitive with foreign factories,

CAIN.S EQUAL I.OSSES

The Kou.se Ways and Means Committee approved this plan in HR 10650, but the Rules Committee objected. II would not pass the hill along to the House for a vote unless the tax losses were completely off.set by tax increases, and thats the way the bill stands now. After its passage by the Hou.se this week' it will go to the Senate Jliich may or may not change it.

Under the nvbion.s. bu.slness cm rail:' wiH gc* tax credits ol only 7 pm cent and utilities only .1 per cent for plant and efjuiiimcnl spending. In addition, each business will be Lim

ited to deductions of $25.000 pins one-fourth of the difference between $25.000 and the companys total tax.

However, unused tax credits could be carried over through the next five years. The reduced percentages of tax credit will save business up to $1.175 billion, instead of the $1.8 billion figure at the original rate. .STAND-OFF

In the end, business will gain $1 bllltor. plus while other tax-pa.vers, largely businesses, will pay SI billion more. It's .not quite a stand-off. because the gain will be by businesses that spend more for.plants and equipment. and those who lose will be savings and loan companies, tho.se with suislriiarles abroad, and those who have lx;cn fast and loose with expense accounts.

Thei't la a lot of misuuder-

standing about how the tax credit works. A corporation simply subtracts 7 per cent of the cost of new plants and equipment from its taxable income.

For instance, if a company had an income of $5 mlUlm and spent $1 million for a new plant, its normal tax liability would be approximately $2.5 miUi(xi. Its basic tax credit for cmistruc-tion would be $70,00()7 percent of $1 million. It could claim the full amount the first year, because there would be ample tax room under the fofmula.

However, if the c(npany'B eamlng.s were only $100,000 and its normal tax liability $50,000. it would deduct only $31,250 $23.000 plus one quarter of the difference between $25,000 and the normal tax liability (one quarter of $50,000 less $25,000. or $6,250).
