Getting Harder and Harder-

Successful negotiation of a noii-inflationary two year contract in the steel industry is an achievement of great significance for that industry and for the nation as a whole.

It removes the threat of a possible strike similar to that three years ago which closed down this basic industry for 119 days and had serious repercussions

Such a situation will stabilize the value of the dollar from year to year. It will strengthen the position of the United States in the world market and it will place this nation in a better position to compete with industries of other nations in international trade, which is of increasing importance.

RANDS OFF? -i* Governor Saniord's statement that he will take no part in any of the con-fressional primary races, particularly the one in the eighth distiiet, was ipeoted. It ia the usual attitude taken by Governors with respect to contests in which they do not have a direct stake. And as usual this statement can be taken with a good bit of salt.

It would^ be entirely out of placa for the Governor of North Carolina to intervene per-scmaUy in a political contest in which be cannot 'vote and the result <rf which would affect him only Indirectlyi It Is traditional for them to announce that they wUl keep hands off unless U^ir administration or some specific acts are attactc-ed. In 1932 Governor Gardner said he would take no active part in the primary to select-his successor. But when Dick Fountain almost violently attacked U Gardner policies, the Governor came out openly for Ehiinghaus.

In 1944 Governor Broughton said he would have no part of the race between Ralph McDonald and Gregg Cherry to succeed him. The near end of the campaign McDonald charged Broughton with participatLng in shady deals Involving the famous (or infamous) Rocking Chair liquor and the Governor was forced to defend himself with a counter attack and full support of Cherry.

There have been other instances where participation was less obvious but few in which the Incumbent chief executive did not to some degree aid one of the candidates seeking to succeed him. Two years ago Governor Hodges supported Malcolm Seawell in the first primary, but bv tba run-off there was 'po question about his back-

AID This year Governor Sanford has openly called upon the voters to reflect the members of the 1961 General Assembly who supported his prog.'^m. He has a direct stake in the voting records of the next General Assembly. His Interest in Congress and other offices is less direct, but it is difficult to conceive of him not exerting what influence he can in behalf of candidates whose philosophy is in line with his own.

He Is not likely to go into the eight district or to make any public statement endorsing a candidate there. But in Mecklenburg and Richmond, the two

counties generally regared as *key points, there is ample evidence that the Sanford influence is at work for John Kennedy. These are Counties where big money is usual in primati es. It was widely reported at the time, though of course witr-out any sembliince of factual proof, that Richmond county folks spent more than $25,000 to elect a man to the General Assembly that candidate running Along with the Sanford ticket for Governor.

Kennedy and Kltchln both have Independent support of loyal personal and political friends. The issue In Mecklenburg and Richmond, however, will be determined largely along lines of pro-Sanford strength as opposed to other groups.

Indications are that more money will be spent in the eighth district congressional primary than in any other race in the state, and that the November general election between the primary winner and the Republican Charles Raper Jonas will be another expensive affair.

The proposed post office building in the eastern section of Greenville will provide a much-needed facility for this city which has seen its volume of mail multiply many times while facilities for handling mail have not been enlarged.

It was a little more than 47 years ago when the present post office in Greenville, located at the corner of Evans and Third Streets, was put into service. Some years later the building was expanded, but for the past 20 years there has been no expansion in the amount of space used by the local post office.

Some indication of the increase in volume of mail being handled by the leeal post office today compared with two decades ago, is given by the fact that postal receipts here have risen from about $68,000 annually to almost $300,000 annually.

In the present post office building there is approximately 5,600 square feet of floor space which is devoted to the handling of mail. According to information from the Post Office Department kindergartens eventually

We noted with great Interest an article appearing in our yesterdays edition of The Daily Reflector on the probability

the proposed new substation building would be approximately the same size. Thus the total amount O post office space in Greenville would be doubled when the new substation is completed and put into service.

While the Post Office Department is engaged in a nation-vvide program of improving its facilities, it is encouraging to note that here in Greenville more adequate facilities will be .provided for post office operations.

PARKING Associate Justice Hunt Parker included an obvious dictum In a decision which he wrote the other day. He said that no one has inherent right to drive on the highways: that is a right conferred by the State, Therefore the State has full authority to prescnbe the rules or to deny the right entirely.

Xhe same thought might be carried a step farther and perhaps with more, assurance. Nobody has an inherent right to park an automobile or other vehicle on a public road or street. The streets belong to all the people for thoroughfares, nut to a few for parking lots. The municipality grants the privi-. lege nf tpmpnrary parking as ft favor, not as a right. The

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) The right-wing former Army major general, Edwin A. Walker, repeatedly stumbled and mispronounced and his hands trembled as he read from a 31-page prepared statement.

The article, written by the Associated Press, said that most educators are convinced that kindergarten will In the future become a part of the public school system.

Greenville is with the times. This towTis P.T.A. Council inaugurated a summer kindergarten program for children without previous kindergarten experience last year during a four-week period. A similar pro^ gram will again be conducted this summer, under sponsorship of the City Council P. T. A. and with aid of civic funds, as it was last year.

It is obvious that educators and parents feel there is advantage in childrens having this experience.

Kindergarten grades seem to adjust better to first-g r a d e work, and are able to begin their class work more readily than those who have never been to a similar kind of organized

class before. Some of the benefits are spcial adjustment, the childs learning to remain away from home and mother without crying, and learning to understand and follow directions. The kindergarten graduate has mastered these accomplishments and is eager for the ABCs, reading about Jack and Jill and writing when he enters the first grade.

Difficulty arises when some children are ready for first grade and others are not. The difficulty is, of course, harder on the teacher, but the AP notes that the kindergarten graduate tends to remain ahead of the child without this experience for about three years. Then the students tend to be on an even level.

The program conducted here, Incidentally, is approved by the State Department of Public Li-struction. Superintendent J. H. Rose noted that the local plan was copied from Greensboros kindergarten program. Trained teachers of lower elementary grades are used, but they do not advance first grade work; they teach kindergarten in kindergarten, Rose said.

Apparently kindergartens are beginning to multiply in the state and this is evidence of sharpening interest in the education of the 5-year-old, the AP article said. It continued, As more and more parents send children to kindergarten, pressure is certain to build up to give the public schools the jol^

Of course, the article was speaking more directly about kindergartens conducted during the same time periods that regular school is conducted.

However, since kindergartens are beginning to meet the publics educational eye, it is nice to know that Greenville has a head start!

These observations are related to the current controversy in the Raleigh city council about installation of parking meters around Capitol Square. A two-hour limit on parking has been in force there for a long time without meter control. The city traffic folks say State employees have abused the privilege, and meters are necessary to keep traffic moving.

He was even critical of a book which, under questioning, he had to admit he hadnt read. He presented the picture of a man who feels enormously discriminated against, if not persecuted.

After Investigating him last year while he w'as in command of the 24th EMvision in Germany the Army slapped him for;

1. Labeling as pinks or Com-muni^s former President Truman, other leading Democrats, and segments of the American press and television-radio industries.

2. Trying to Influence his troops, contrary to Army regulations, in voting for members of Congress by recommending the use of voting materials not obtained through military sources.

Sen. Stuart Symington, who said he and his wife had read the book enjoyed it. asked Walk--er to say specifically what was wrong with it. Walker admitted he had never read it.

Late in the day Walker singled out Adam Yarmolinsky, a McNamara aide, as a particular enemy of his and said his connections with CommunLsm have been close and that his actions aided Communism. Yarmolinsky denied this, said his record had been anti-Communist.

Here are some examples from Walkers statement of how he saw evil forces working against him:

He said his assignment to Germany was an entrapment and that his case was not merely unusuaH but unique. He said:

Thk forces back of it must be extraordinary.. These forces cannot be fully identified, . .He said McNamara tried to create a false impression of what he had done. He said the Army treated him unjustly and there were unscrupulous forces back of his case.

In short, all that happened to him. according to him, happened because he was such an anti-Communist.

It is becoming Increasingly customary for officials of new revolutionary governments to seize American property- as has recently been done in Cuba and in Brazil; as had earlier been done In Red China and Soviet Russia. As a matter of practice, the United States In recent years has done nothing about such expropriations. During earlier administrations, the United States pursued what came to be known as Dollar Diplomacy, by which was meant that the United Sta es not only protected American life but also American property.

Since the Franklin Roosevelt Administration, American policy on this subject had to change because when Roosevelt recognized Soviet Russia, he Ignored the fact that Russia had expropriated American property in Russia without compensation of any kind. It used to be true, particularly In countries where the United States exercised extraterritorial jurisdiction, that any company could register at a consulate as an American company. In 1924/ Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes held that;

"The question, however, as to the extent to which this government should afford Such a corporation assistance in a foreign country is one^which may properly be governed in large measure by the nature and extent of the American interests involved.

Since the Franklin Roosevelt Administration It has bcm policy to protect neither American life nor American property anywhere, even In countries with a low level civilization, with the result that expropriations have become Increasingly usual. The assumption Is that American corpora^ tlons are owned by rich tycoons and to hell with them. The fact Is that American corporations are usually owned by thousands of small stockholders,^ often widows, orphans, trust funds left for childrens education, educational institutions and the like.

When an expropriation takes place, these stockholders have been robbed as though their pockets had been picked. Benjamin Javlts, President of th United Shareowners of America,makes the point that American industry is owned by 16,-000,0(X) shareowTiers. When the Brazilian government, for instance, expropriates American property in Brazil, the property of a duly franchised American company, it actually steals the possessions of the shareowners of that property. It is after such an event that our government entertains President Joao (Jou-lart of Brazil!

Are we to finance the Brazilian government in its depredations as we gave' Stalin $11,-000,000,000 to become our principal enemy?

bounds, and if all is as right as what meets the eye, the student body is as fortunate as can be found.

Our concern is for both the state-supported colleges and the privately supported; as we will call them for lack of better description.

We have no fear for the tax supported. We do for those dependent on tuition and endowment income. For even Harvard, whose economists are running the goveniment, is complaining because inflation is eating up the buying power of its endowment income.

We would like to look into the crystal ball and see what the future holds. With the turning tow^ard government for everything, from the cradle to the grave, we wonder how long our private colleges and universities will be able to compete.

It will be % sad day when they have to curtail their progress and opportunities, because of lack of funds. For these institutions have much to offer.

These were some of the thoughts that passed through our mind while enjoying a day at East Carolina College.

who hopes to profit, but may lose. ^ ^ ^

When, however, the foveni-ment encourages conrpahies to take a share of their Investments abroad, it assumes a specific responsibility, at any rate, to protect that investment from expropriation, which simply means taking away without any regard to the rights of the shareowners in their own property or the economy of the United States. At that point, we need to do something about it.

In the old days, when we were a proud nation, and were putting considerable money into Latin 'American enterprises, we did do something about it. We sent the Marines and maintained the Monroe Doctrine. But it was impractical to do that when the Russian Bolsheviks seizedd American property. We w'ere not ready to go to war with Soviet Russia. We did send aa army to SiberisKto prevent Japan from seizing the Trans-Siberian Railroad from Lake Baikal east, an act which prevented the partitioning of Russia among the Allies, early enough to contain the Bolsheviks in a small nd perhaps unconquerable area. This failed and has since been discussed with numerous and singular distortions by so-called experts.
