A Scholarship Given By The State

Strange Economy.

President Leo \V. Jenkins of P^ast Carolina CoUegre, in a guest cdltfnn which appeari'd in The .Daily. Reflector and 25 other afternoon newspapers of the state last week, p9inted out something on

tnery citizen of the state has a financial interest in the college education of every student in a state-supported facility. Even though the student or his parents pay the full cost of fees, tuition and other

which there has been too little emphasis in North charges of the college, each student is subsidized by

Carolina for too many years.

Dr. Jenkins* asserted:

Every student in a state supported school is to a degree the recipient of a scholarship given him by the citizens of the state. This fact should be known to all our youth and to their parents. Tliey should be the first to understandf that it is not the teachers and administrators alone who have a primary interest in and responsibility for admission policies'. College facilities are owned, operated and controlled by our citizenry.

In spite of the stiffening of admission requirements to most state-s\ippoi/ed colleges in North Carolina in recent years, there are still far too many students and parents who fail to recognize that

STATE FAIR IMPROVEMENTSAmong improvements scheduled for completion prior to the op>ening of the 95th Slate Fair. October 15-20. are additions to the rabbit and pigeons barns, enlargement of the Village of Yesteryear, and the winterizing of the cafeteria of the Youth Center.

Making the dining hall of the Center usable all year by enclosing the side' walls with louvre - type aluminum windows and installing heat-ihg equipment will make this widely used facility an even more valuable property of the St^V. Located in a quiet, pine-forested section of the fairgrounds, the Youth Centet was originally planned for housing junior exhibitors who show livestock and other exhibits at' fairtime which require tlieir presence throughout the weeik.

The two dormitories and the home for the superintendent were equipped for all-weather use. Due to the mildness of the weather in October, it was thought the dining hail would be adequate if it were boxed in and screened. But. with the increasing demand for u.se of the Center for groups of students attending State College short courses, housing for visiting athletic teams, bands, 4-Hers, and folk attending conferences, a need has grown, for all-w^eather recreation and study facilities.

STUDY HALL The cafeteria is operated only at fair-time and during the Everett Case Basketball School. However. there are several hundred business men who attend such study courses as the Tractor School or the Banker's Course in Modern Farming. and other State College ihort courses who are housed at the Youth Center. They will find adequate and comfortable study space during their two to three-week stay. Several thousand other North Carolinians who spend one or more night.s at the Center with both schoolage and adult groups will be able to use the hall for meetings, band rehearsals, etc.

MANY USES AND SERVICESIn this connection, many other buildings and areas of the fairgroundsii are used throughout the year with great frequency. Hundreds of Wake County student drivers get their instructions and practice driving le.s.sons on Us eight miles of roadways. A number of the employees of an electronic concern learned their skills at the Lounge Building. It served both as a manufacturing plant and training center until the company's new building was ed at Cary.

Building contractors for a State building often use storage space in the exhibit halls for furniture and fixtures

which have arrived before the new ^ structure is ready for

their installation. For several years great quantities of surplus goods have been stored m Fairgrounds buildings un

til the new warehouses of the State Surplus Agency were

built. Much other equipment, many cars and trucks of both^ the State and Federal Gov-' ernments are stored here from time to time until assigned to individuals, divisions and agencies,

SELDOM IDLE For ilwe who think the State Fairgrounds sit idly by from October to OctotM?r each year, there have been few' weeks in the past several years during which no event has been scheduled for at least one or more of its nearly 50 . buildmgs. , Many days have .<ieen several unrelated activities in progress simultaneously in various areas of its 228'acres, w ith several hundred people participating in each affdir. In fact.

few state facilitie.s served so many people in so varied ^ manner, in addition to their Intended special purposes, as do the various buildings and grounds of the State Faii. .And. except for appropriations for erection of some of the larger permanent structures. very few tax dollars are spent on the sounds. Production of the annual Fair, premiums, .salaries, mangement. maintenance and other annual operation costs are paid our of profits of the Fair and the rentals of facilities during non-fair time.

FOCAL POINT-Of principal interest to the first-time visitor i.s the famou.= Arena. Thqusands of school children on tour of the Capital City area vi.sjt this building weekly during the spring of the year, _and a ^steady flow, of tourists from ,the world over finds its way about the building Some one hundred and fifty or "more days each year the J S Dorton Arena is used, adapting itself admirably to such divergent affairs ' a.s: midget auto races and the Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner; tremendou.s display of plant maintenance machinery and the Garden Show; cow .sales and the Souths biggest horse show; dances, company picnics, barbecues and a Jav-Cee banquet; a rodeo, or a circu.s a basketball

school: a political rally and

a faith healer's .services-;, a top pianist in concert and a roc-k 'n roll show; Klobihzation Night.s of a religiou.s group and a big Christmas party; a gospel sing and a farm liia-chinery show . . . many of -them being annual affairs that are scheduled a.s regularly as the live.<;to.ck judging during State Fair Time.

the citizens of the state through' their tax payments.

The citizens of North Carolina, in return for subsidizing students in our colleges, have the right to expect that only those who are capable of doing college work should be admitted to colleges. They, likewise have the right to expect that each student who enters a state-supported schooland thereby accepts from the citizenry part of the functii to.pay for his -college educationshould apply himself to gain as much as possible from the time he spends in college.

The student not only owes it to himself to gain as much as possible from the time he invests in a<^ college education, he owes it to his parents and other citizens who fool the bill for providing him with the opportunity to attendcollege.

Too many youngsters enter college today without this fact being properly impressed upon them. Too many parents fail to recognize that atlults other tlian themselves have a financial interest in sending their children to collece. They likewi.^e fail to recognize that they also have a filiancial interest in the college education iH'pvidcd children other than their own.

The point niatle by Dr, Jenkins should be emphasized time and again to every parent and to every student in North Carolina.

All soils of Democratic persons in New York State offer themselves as candidates for the Governorship. It is a good year to nin because 'Democrats believe that there is a chance that Governor Rockefeller can be de-

Growing rcVognition of the importance of the concept of area' development in North Carolina was evidenced ai the recent state conference of the North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service.

Two principle speakers at the meeting a'^serted that the area approach to development is becom-^ ing more essential in North Carolina. It was further a.sserted that efforts to enhance economic development on a self-contained county basis are doomed to failure.

Such statements point up the importance of the effort now underway in this immediate .section of North Carolina to bring about a working area' development group. Pitt and five other countie.s have joined together to form .such a group and the feated

organizational proce.^.s is now being completed with Unfortunately most of the

committee selections. After the organization is com-

county basis, but on the six-county area ba.sis.

Obviously the idea of area development is iiot confined just to the matter of creating new smokestacks in the area or attracting more industries. A.--' evidenced by the various committees designated b the groupAo which Pitt belongs, attention will he given almost every phase of ]iossible development from cultural advances to agriculture.

County and community developnieilt groiijis will continue to play an importatit role in the overall .development of North Carolina.4)ut it is also evident that area organizations will likewise have an important role.

y.y RALPH ROBF.Y'

La.st January President Kennedy. in .hi.s Economic Message. said that he was going to ask for three .specific mea.sures to help him combat any future rece.ssion. The.se were pe^a-nent impro\ement in tlx> u^i-ploNment compensation system, stand-by authority to order large public works, and .stand-by authority to * reduce personal in-. coT^e taxes.

Me.s.sages outlinging the finst two of these proposals were sent, to the Congress long ago. but, the one on taxes has just been submitted. .................

At pre.sent our per.sonal income tax rates range from 20 to 91 percent of taxable income. The President wants the autho,nty to reduce these rates by up to five percentage poinU, or to a range of 15 to 86 percent. It Is officially e.stimated that .";uch a .reduction would amount to some $10 billion a .year.

Mr. Kennedy insi.sts that lie is not a.sking for a delegation of the power of the Congre.^.,. As lie explains tlie .suggestion.

laxes

\\as issued.

Pre.senting this plan at .such a late date in this .session of the Congress indicates that the Admihi.str'ation does not expect action this year. The legislative hopper i.s already far too full to get even casual considersition from the House Ways and Means Committee on such an amazing plan, and the bill can not move without the approval of that_ committee.

But even though there is no chance of the President being given nhis stand-by tax cutting authority, the move i.s none the " les.s important; This" is trur be-cau.se there i.s no justification even for a requc.st of such pow-er.

Under the Constitution all rev-ehue bills must originate in the Hou.se of Pmpre.sentatives and in that organization the Ways and Means Committee has been assigned the function of handling all such measures. The Hou.sc always has been jealous of this right and it is unthinkable that It would relinquish this crucial opruation.

But suppo.'-e the Congress ilid.

it still would be up to the Con-0 iii'ant the Pre.sident this limit-

gri'ss to cstabli.sh the cotn^- c (loiLs under whiclv tiix rate\ > could be lowered.

of Charlotte, Some observers are saying that this contest i.s very close and that the winner \Vill have only a .small margin of victory when the votes are counted. . }

Rcdislricting ha.s given the Eighth distrjct a most'unus'ual image. Regardless of whether Mr. Kitchen is nominated or Mr. Kennedy, the winner still has a fight on his hands in November.

It so happens that the winner will have to oppo.se Charles Jonas in November, the fair haired boy of the North Carolina Republicans. Mr. JOnas i.s a known vote-getter, and many Democrats today are worried about thi.s hotly conte.sted primary race. They fear that it i.s .so spirited that some bitterness may carry over to November and thus play into the hands of Mr. Jonas.

If we look at the newly con-.stituted Eighth Congre.ssional district and look at how each county in the district voted for congres.sman in the last Democratic primary two years ago, we find that Democrats outvoted Republicans by a margin of approximately 7.tK)0 votes That l.t a rather big margin for the Republican candidate to overcome. and Democrats arc confident that it cannot be overcome.

However, Mr. Jonas is making his November bid already witlPthe big-Mecklenburg county vote as nis challenge. He mu.st carry Mecklenburg by a larger majority than he has ev-Vr carried it before if he is to win.

There Is another angle which is important. Heretofore. Mr. Jonas, an arch conservative, has generally been opposed by Democrats considered to be far more liberal than he is.

Now' if Mr. Kitchen wins the Democratic nomination, he i.s just as con.servative as is Mr. Jonas, and so the conservative-, liberal f!|ht hardly could materialize in a race between the.se two men.

If Mr. Kennedy is the succe.ss-ful nominee for the Democrats, he is considered to be of the liberal hue. but he is a native of Mecklenburg county. Either way. Mr. Jonas will have his work cut out for liim. If Mr. Kennedy is the nominee, certainly Mr. Jonas cannot be expected to carry Mecklenburg county by any overwhelming riiajority. If Mr. Kitchen is the nominee, the con.ser\ative versus liberal fight cannot materialize.

Because of the.se unu.riial factors, all North Carolina i.s w atching this congressional \bat-tle. both in the primary now and in the general election in November. From reports from the district, the heaviest vote ever recorded in the counties involved is expected to be ca.st both on May 26 and in the general election in November. That is a healthy thing too, because the larger the vote, the better pxpresson of democracy we have from the people.

In a real sense the political futures of three men are at slake. Many believe that if Mr. Jonas lo.ses, fie will be eliminated as a GOP contender for gov-enior next time. If Mr. Kitchen loses now or in November, his political future is probably derailed. Mr. Kennedy is young, but a defeat will place hini at the political crossroads.

Any way one looks at the Eighth di-strict, the races now and in November afe most interesting.

in New' York.

The man who fits thLs bill I.s. silent. He w'ill not say Yes! and he W'ill not say No! He does not need the job, as he has one that pays more and gives him a chance to travel throughout the w'oiid. He manages to attend public luncheons agil dinners every day. The name Is James A, Farley, familiarly knowm as Big Jim To tbose who still remember it. he was responsible for Franklin D. Roosevelt becoming President of the United States and he served as Postmaster General. He broke with Roosevelt over the Third Term and the American people endorsed his view by jiassing the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution.

Frley Ls obviously popular, not becau.se he is neutral or all things to all men. but because he i.s an independent per.son who turns out to be right generally. The only objection I have heard to the candidacy of Big Jim is that he. is old. 74 years old. In our modem world, age is not a matter of years but of arteries' and ulcer.s and such matters, Farley pos.se.sses the stamina of a man in his 50's.

If this description of the man .seems excessively enthusiastic, biased, partial, 1 can only admit that the description is correct. And that,is one rea.son why I believe that FSrley can be elected. So many Republicans believe that if I^arley ran again.st Rockefeller, they would vote for Farley and many Democrats say that they will not \'ote for the other names mentioned either for factional reasons, or because the persons mentioned have in.sufficient stature to warrant running.

The story goe.s the rounds that Pkanklin D. Rno.sevelt, Jr., is a candidate for thp office of Governor. He has actually not lived in New York State for a number of years. He has liv-(>d in Washington, D. C. where he is in the automobile sales busine.ss. Even when he ran for Congre.ss, his address, at one time, was the up-town Esplanade Hotel wheip he had a room.

It was obviously a makeshift address.

It is doubtful that Franklin D. Roo.sevelt, Jr.v. can fit all the conditions stated above. Certainly he would draw no Republican votes from Nelson Rockefeller. While he-bears his fathers name, W'hich means much in New' York City, it is clear that that name is a liability so far as Republicans and many independept voters are concerned.

New York Stat has bout 17.(K)0,000 por.sons. which is equivalent to the population of the whole of Canada. The population Ls very mixed; there are-many large cities and any rural areas; the racial complex*

Stocks

i oday

By ROGER BABSON BABSON PARK, Mas*..Investors are like ffocks of sheep. They run all Uether and blindly follow a leader. It was not , many years .ago that Investors were enthusiastic about railroad stocks; now they are dumping such stocks Indiscriminately. They are putting their money Into armament stocks that are largely dependent upon government contriwits which must come toward an end.

IMPORTANCE

OF

DIVERSIFICATION

The wise investor wdll not only diversify among many industries railroad, chemical, gas, and public utilities, etc., but should keep his investments fluid and remember that each classification is growing either better or worse, Henc a few airplane stocks are advis;-able; and a few shipping stocks. Certainly Greyhound should not be forgotten. But dont have too much Invested in any form of transportation.

Without doubt the passenger business of railroads is coming to a virtqal end, excepM; where .iubsidized by the Government. Short lines should be avoided; also lines subject to severe w'ater competition. Certain of the rich railroads, such as the Union Pacific, are still advertising passenger business; but they are paying for the lo.ss from their passenger business by their oil. gas, and other mineral Investments along the right of way which they ow'n. MANY MORE MERGERS ARE AHEAD This Is because if the automobiles and good roads had come before the railroads, only about a third of the present railroad mileage would have , been built. It is one thing to argue in favor of mergers, and it is another thing to reason with labor. Labor appears to have no regard for the nations welfare.

The basic reason why Inves-, tors should be shy of railroad investments i.s because of the attitude and pow'er of labor. It is not only neces.sary to eliminate featherbedding, which everyone, except the politicians. believe to be wrong; but labor insi.sts on dictating as to merger, pas.senger rates, - pull-nian equipment, and even train schedules.

' BANGOR & AROOSTOOK EXPERIMENT I believe the most forw'ard-looking railroad president In the country is W. Gordon Robertson. head of the Bangor & Aroo-.stook Railroad, which runs from northern Maine southerly to tidewater. It once prospered greatly by hauling wood and pulp, and later newsprint. It also prospered from the great potato industry of Northern Maine. President Robertson realized that he must have the most efficient rolling .stock to make a profit during the seasons when this freight was hauled, but he also devised a plan of renting the roads most modern diesel engines In the off seasons.

Even under the most efficient operation. Ills railroad could not compete with trucks. He therefore turned to a very original plan; He organized the Bangor & Aroostook Corporation, W'hich owTis 90 percent of the stock of the railroad com-* pany. This new corporation, however. Is able to carry on any kind of business W'hich shows a profit. An imiestor can keep his old Bangor & Aroostook Railroad stock if he desires. or he can exchange it for th<' .stock of the new busines.s corporation. I believe President Robertson will make a succes.s of his new corporation and many other railroads will fo) low hLs example.

THE K.ANSAS CITY SOUTHERN PROGRAM The Kansas City Southern Railway also has a progressive forward-looking president, W.

N. Deramus, who operates this road most efficiently notwithstanding water competition. However, he has now qome to the same conclusion, and has formed a separate corporation Kan.sas City Southern Industries, Inc.which willbe able to do anything from running supermarkets to operating oil wells along the line of the Kansas City Railroad. Too many railroad stockholders have forgotten the great value of , the rights-of-w-ay and adjoining " (Continued on Page 5)
