It is happening like that in Florida. Rock asserts, why not in Eastern North Carolina? He knows that already several plants have been established in North Carolina because of the proximity of recnsatlonal attractions. For this reason alone, he believes the industry seekers out of the Governors Office and C&D may have a special interest in Spooners Creek.

WASHINGTN AP) - The Algerian mystery Is not how the Secret Army Organization M able to kill Moslems in bunches every day but why French President de Gaulle has riot used the -French army to smash- the assassins.

It raises an unpleasant question about De Gaulle who takes such a strongman role against the Russians that he has refused even to join the United States in discussing a Berlin settlement with them:

How could he hope to x:op with the gigantic Russian military power if he lacks the = ability, or the will, to crush th comparatively small group of oreanlzed murderers In Algeria?

The answer is simple enough: He couldn't stop the Rus.sians for five minutes without American help, although this might not be gueised from his attitude toward American efforts vith Ru.ssla.

Through months of murder, committed on the public streets, the French army in Algeria has arrested s few leader.* of the

secret army but has never made any wholesale effort to crush it. *

It has stood by while the murders piled up. In these months, while the secret assassins slaughtered their people, the Moslems refrained from fighting back. They feared It would eventually Involve them with the French army and destroy thtir hopes of independence.

They finally reached the breaking point Monday after scores of their women had been shot down, and cut loose.

Until last March in Algeria, Moslem nstlonalist* fought the French more than seven years

for their Independence.

In 1958 when De Gaulles predecessors In office headed toward a settlement with the Moslems, the regular army joined the settlers in revolt against the government in Paris.

The thought of losing Algeria, the last big remnant of French colonialism, seemed too overwhelming for the French troops who had seen their empire cut away from Lebanon, Syria. Tunisia. Morocco, and Indochina.

It was after this that De Gaulle took over. In time, last March, he worked out a settlement with the Moslems, which wa.s intended to keep Algerian links with France but let the Algerians choose independence.

After the history of their years of revolt ~ and the fact that they outnumbered the European settlers 9 to 1 there was no doubt the Moslems w ould choose independence.

Thc decision was to be made in a referendum about next September. The secret army, which had already turned Algeria into its own private slaughterhouse. redoubled its efforts.

Any head of a competent state might be expected to act against organized murder. De Gaulles reluctance to do so doesn't speak well for the ability of the French government, under him or someone else, to control Its destiny.

It has been said he fears that an attempt to use French troops against their countrymen among the assassins might cause an army revolt on behalf of the settlers w-ho dont want the Moslems to run the country.

But this is one rnore example in a sorry history of French Inadequacies, both at home and in its former colonies. For example; the endless succession of French governments shice the

At this moment explorations for a satisfactory basis of negotiations about West Berlin may be more needed between Washington and Bonn than between Washington and Moscow.

The differences to be bridged arc, of course, nowhere nearly so great, but they are serious: for lack of cohesion here could Injure relations among the four major Western allies the United States, Britain, France, and West Germany. Before negotiations with the Soviet Union can be profitable it must be apparent that these four speak with reasonable concurrence if not with one voice.

Soviet foreign experts may have two reactions to the appearance of a rift between Chancellor Adenauer and President Kennedy. One could be to take greater interest in the American suggestion of an international authority over access to West Berlin, since the. Chancellor considers it possibly dangerous to German and Western interests. Another could be to want to know that the United States really has authority to speak for its allies before going into details.

Naturally, any difference which Moscow might exploit to make West Germaas feel let down by the British and Americans would be much to its liking. But thcre is ample room for confidence 'that no such substantial difference exists.

It appears, for example, that the 13 members of the propos

ed international authority would not represent their respective governments but Would act as individuals appointed by those governments. This, though ^ a subtle distinction, would relieve the Implication that the East German Government was being officially recognized by such an arrangement.

On the other hand, there still is question whether such an authority would prove workable in practice or whether it w'ould only help the Communists seal out of Berlin anyone they declared objectionable.

It seems barely possible that the Soviet version of such an authority,. presented at Geneva last month, could be taken as a gtarting point for revisions. It contemplated that the international group would only review East German acts of control. At least two vital amendments would be necessary; The East Germans would have to act as agents of the Soviet Union or under an international agreement. And the Soviet representativa could not be permitted to exercise a veto on decisions of the reviewing council.

It may be .said, of course, that debate on these two points would be as interminable as possible debate on the Western access..control proposal. Here President Kennedys Churchil-lian observation that it is better to try to solve difficulties by talking than by fighting has validity. But' there evidently will have to be fully as much talk-. ing among allies as between opponents.

the Gallup survey that showed 90 percent favored the United States maintaining its UN membership. Eighty-three percent felt it very important that the U. S. try to make the UNs mission successful. In addition, 78 percent thought the UN is doing a good or fair job in trying to solve world problems.

What all this evidence is sup-> posed to mean Is that the American people in the operation of the United Nations. That the AAUN strives to publicize favorable public opinion indicates real opposition exists among the confident public.

Its quite likely that the average man-on-street actually knows very little about the daily routine inside UN headquarters. He probably realizes that the business of hearing and seeking to solve international problems Is one of the toughest Jobs.

He generally contents himself with the knowledge that the giant United Nations building in New York was constructed at a cost of about $67 million (financed'by a $65 million U. S. interest-free loan); that the 1961 operating budget was nearly $73 million: mnd that the UN membership now stands at 165, including names of countries hed never before heard of.

With this understanding, skimpy as it is, the average man still realizes that, whatever the UN Is not, it Is the best of Its sort weve got.

Pew members o the House of Reptesentatlves ever build a national following or can claim a national reputation. The House mlrrofs the nation and achieves it by having a variety of members, some educated, others^ dull: some Interested in certain problems, others only interested in their own election. Each represents a comparatively small area and a small part of the total population. The device for forming the House of Representatives was designed to bring these persons close to the people.

Dr. Walter Judd hails from Minnesota but his experience has been enormous. He has been a Protestant medical missionary in China, devoted to the Chinese people. The Communists imprisoned him, but he was repatriated by the Japanese. Since returning to the United States, Dr. Judd has given up his medical practice and has devoted himself to politics. One of the countrys most brilliant speakers, he has travelled over the landr telling the story of China, of the Communists and ^ of the need for the United States to defend Itself against a conspiracy of conquest.

His first-hand account of what the Communists have done in China has had no better reporter. He has been elected to the House of Representatives 10 times, serving for 20 years and the probability is that, with great effort, he could be elected again. His district has been reapportioned in an outrageous manner with the object of eliminating Dr. Judd.

Of it Dr. Judd has said:

I could win in this new district, if I spent most of my time just running for office, but that w'ould deny me the opportunity to do the kind of thing- for which I entered political life. I left the medical profession for poli-, tics In order to w'ork at ideas, both domestic and international, which I considered essential for a strong and sound America in a world of peace. Under this new situation, I must now leave politics in order to continue w^orklng for the same purposes and ideas.

Perhaps the politicians of the Minnesota'^iegislature do not appreciate that their state is honored by such a Representative as Walter Judd, whose reputation is international and whose standing in the Congress exceeds the size of his district or the funct n of his office.

Few men are prophets among their own people and It is likely that to his constituency Dr. Judd is just another Republican politician. In him, they have a profound thinker, a leader in the intellectual renaissance of this country, a person of such experience as few Americans have had. His departure from the House of Representatives will be a loss to tha United States.

One of the weaknesses of our relations with the Par East Is that since the 1930s, our government has eschewed counsel with those who have long lived in Far Eastern countries and who have been close to the peoples of those lands. The Old China Hand, for instance, was regarded so unfavorably during the Roosevelt Administration that a wealth of experience was lost.

The ^small fry who were accepted as experts proved their worth by believing that the CTii-nese Communists were Agrarian Reformers, as stupid a phrase a* the description of Fidel Castro as a Democratic Revolutionary.

Dr. Walter Judd went into the Congress where h could not be Ignored, He took to the lecture platform. He forced the truth about China into the open and his witnessing to the truth forced the liars and hypocrites to flee before him^

The medical missionary was, in my days in the Far East, a beloved figure, for he not only preached a doctrine of love and devotion but he healed the sick and brought comfort into families in despair and hopelessness.

I have known such missionaries living in outposts, without the comforts which we, in this country, regard as so essential.

I have seen ^ them deliberately go into plague areas, among those suffering from smallpox and from cholera, to do their work of mercy.

By E.\RL L. DOUGLASS WHY GROW OLD?

Why should we grow old? What makes people old? Doctors have many answers to questions such as thq&e. There eatr be no4lmibt that oertain deteriorations take place within the human structure as the years pass, producing gray hair and feeble knees, trembling hands, stiff Joints, dull ears, and eyes that have lost much of their vision.

But there is undoubtedly a psychological aspect to the situation also. We cannot stay young simply by determining that we will be young, whether or no. but certainly we can make ourselves old by dwelling too much on our failing powers. Tho.se who believe .in llie-sovereignty of God do not doubt

but that the moment of their departure from earth is determined and arranged by God, but how we are going to hvc before that time arrives is something that is largely up to us. If we^at 4o muchi worry too much, long to have people wilt on us, and give in on all occasion* to irritation and anger, we may expec^o grow old pre-, maturely. If we strive to live a useful life, continue our activity to the very limit of its reasonable bounds, take an Interest In our fellows, and love all men. we may expect to live longer.
