UNC Committee Has To^ Decide

^ What the executive committee of North Carolina truetees does Monday with their new authority under the amended aj^aker-ban law will go a long way toward determining future legislative attitude toward campua speakers.

In a meeting set for Monday the University will decide whether/two speakers invited by a stu-denKgroup will be allowed to appear on the Chapel Hi campus. One is director of the American Institute for Marxist Studies in New York, and the other was convicted for contempt of Congress after taking the fifth amendment when asked about membership in the Communist party. ,

INieed Clear-Out Set Of Rules

By WILLIAM A. SHIRGS

QUESTIONS ~ The invit-ing of two cootroversial figures to speak on the campus at Chapel Hill next month has raised some fresh, rather urgent questions in the minds of many University of North Carolina trustees.

One is iHiether a set of clear-cut rules and regulations has been drawn up by the University administration s i n e amendment of t h e state's 1961 ^>eaker Ban law in a epe^ session of the General Assembly last Fall. Art foeb regulations in effect?

Apparently not Proposed mies and regulations have drawn up and tentatively approved but must now be dmiitted to the full UNC botfd of trustees probably at meeting on Feb. 20.

fp the meantime, what may be done to deal with formal raoueets to University offi-fldale to okay speeches by Herbert Apthecker and Frank Wilkinson on the Chapel Hill campus March 1 and March 9? The trustees executive committee has discussed this at length but reached no con-

To the Editor:

I decided to use this column for the parpse of telling the

rral pablic how much help GreenvQle aty Sdi ools received from the Public Works Dmariment of the City of Gremvule during the recent anergency,

Mr. Beatty, Superintandent of PnhUe Works, and members of his department cheerfully gave us every assistance pos-iuMe in getting the idtool ^^^^^^^rounds in such shapo that wo could open schools this morning. If we had not had tbtir help, we could not have opened when we did.

elusions and took no action.

ABEYANCE In effect, the matter is in abeyance. University officials take the position that it is up to t h e trustees to decide whether to approve or reject the requests.

But there is question as to whether the trustees executive committee slone is em-pow^ed to act The matter may be left hanging until Feb. 20. If rules and regulations to govern visiting speakers are adopted at that meeting, a decision may then be tossed back to the University administration.

Meanwhile there is pressure for a decision sooner than three or four weeks either by the executive committee, by the administration, or if necessary the full board of trustees.

Many feel the University must avoid any appearance of dodging rfsponsibility or indecision in the matter of visiting speakers and that definite action should be taken.

RULES Executive committee sources assume there will be another meeting to study and perhaps act in the Apthecker-Wilkinson matter within a few days.

In the absence of rules promulgated by the administration and approved by the full board of trustees, question will be raised as to whether a policy statement edopted by UNC trustees last November is sufficient to bar Apthecker and Wilkinson.

Also, it will be asked whether this policy does not give University administrative officers discretion in the matter, and whether It is necessary for trustees to take further action.

MEETING Sources describe last weeks three and a half hour meeting of the executive committee as an Informative, round table discussion.

The executive committee was not asked to act, and the matter was presented simply for information and clarification. Sources said the feeling generally among committee members was that the requests should be rejected, but that pros and cons were argued and the matter was left hanghig.

No conclusions were reached on.what we should do, a source reported. We more or less recessed the mee t i ng to think about it, and felt it would be best to have another meeting. It had been a long day/*

It is evident, it seems to us, that the appearance of these two individuals on the campus ^at Chapel Hill does not fall within the guidelines set forth by the legislature when it amended the controversial Speaker Ban law. Neither would their appearance on a state-supported campus fall within the guidelines put forth by trustees of state institutions in resolutions adopted with reference to visiting speakers on their campuses.

The executive committee of the University trustees considered the question last Friday but reached no conclusion with respect the invitation for these two people to appear on Chapel Hill campus. Certainly the committee should act decisively in its meeting Monday by refusing permission for these speakers to appear at Chapel Hill.

Are Junkers Dumped Into The N.C. Market?

Reports from Mainland that autos which do not pass safety inspection there are being dumped in North Carolina are puzzling.

It is true that North Carolina motor vehicle inspection law has only begun to operate. This law, however, applies first to autos now operating on the state's highways.

There is already a law on the books requiring inspection of safety equipment on used cars brought into the state. We would hope that this law would eliminate the type thing that Maryland authorities have reported.

There, according to Sen. George Snyder, thousands of "junkers'* have already been eliminated. He said state police have informed him most of the vehicles are being dumped in other states, mostly North Carolina.

Snyder said that 80 to 90 percent of the defects found in the used cars were faulty headlights, wheel alignments, broken or cracked glass and dangerously worn tires.

This is precisely the type thing that the out-of-state inspection law is designed to eliminate.

North Carolina authorities should carefully investigate these reports. If it Is found that autos rejected in other states are winding up here, then inspections should be tightened up.

Hoffa Review Snowstorm Out Of Hone.

nsures Power

By NEIL GILBRIDE

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme (hurts review of James R. Hoffas jury tampering conviction not only reprieves the Teamsters Union {xesident from prison, but virtually guarantees his re-election as head of the worlds biggest labor union.

The courts decision to hear the case, like the blizzard that enveloped Washington, felt like a fistful of cold snow down the necks of those who want to unseat the controversial leader of the Teamsters.

This means that practically anything Hoffa wants at the next convention, Hoffa gets, said one Teamster source.

And what Hoffa wants, many Teamsters Insiders say, is to win a new five-year term as president and then change the constitution of the union so he can run it from Jail If necessary and return to take over his plush office In the shadow of the U.S. Capitol.

Hoffa faces an eight-year sentence if the Supreme Court turns down his appeal, but could be paroled with 32 months.

And, jury tampering is not one of the crimes that bans a labor leader from holding office under federal labor law.

An this means plenty of fireworks at the Teamsters July 4 convention in Miami 'Beach, with Hoffa setting off most of the rockets.

Cautious moves inside the union to dump Hoffs if he went to jail quickly went underground in the wake of Mondays Supreme Court decision to hear Hoffas appeal.

Hoffa argues his conviction was illegal because a Justice

Partin is under federal indictment for stealing union funds.

A spokesman for Einar Mohn, West Coast Teamsters vice president who earlier said he would run for the top job if Hoffa went to jail, said today, Hes not going to put up any opposition to Hoffa.

There was also no hint of open opposition fraifi Teamsters Vice President Harold Gibbons of St. Louis, long an unannounced front-runner for Hoffas $75,000-a-year job.

If Hoffa is at the convention, he will have no opposition, a Gibbons spokesman said.

Teamsters sources differ over whether a Hoffa move to amend the unions constitution so he can pick his own successor or resume office after a prison term would provoke a fight. But they agree it would be an uphill battle with Hoffa handling the gavel.

To the Editor:

Your editorial, extolling the experience Waltzin Walter Jones, reminds me of the often, but seldom fully, quoted statement of Ben Franklins Poor Richard: Experience keeps a dear School, but Fools will learn in no other, and scarce in that . . . They wont be counselled, cant be helped, . . . if y o u will not hear Reason, shell surely rap your Knuckles. The voters of the First District are tired of having their knuckles rapped by the experienceo phantoms who will not appear before them. We who support Dr. Easts Reason against the experience of Walter, the Phantom, think that Ben and his inexperienced thinkers did a fairly good job back In 1787. We would like to keep wheeling - and - dealing experience where it belongsIn a political limbo.

Where was Walter with his

It had to come from the White House. My department certainly knew nothing about It We werent even consulted.

Do you think a blizzard was good thing to have at this time of the year

Well, you have to remember that President is the oiy one who can make this agonizing decision. He has aU the facts. While a blizzard may look like the worst thing to give the people, it could, In the long run, be the best thing we could do under the circumstances.

There are some people who believe Congress should have decided whether we s h o uld have had a blizzard or not. Congress gave President Johnson a vote of confidence in 1965 and said they would support any decisions he made concerning the weather.

brum

experience when the five Democratic Primary candidates were invited to appear before the gathering at the College? Was he standing tall on his record? Was he avoiding what was caUed a Delicate question

Where was Walter when the state together with Pitt County was being carved into politically acceptable pieces of pie? Was he standing on his record, or sitting on his laurels? Why wont Walter meet his opponent on TV be-for all the voters of the First District? According to another old saw, there is virtue in not opening ones mouth. My vote for Elast will be a vote to bring reason back into our government. Im tired of the kind of experience that men hide behind and use as an excuse to avoid facing present issues.

Bart Rpilly

Yessir, but they thou g h t they were voting for a light snowfall or at the most a white Christmas. They had no idea the President was going to get us into a blizzard. The President didnt want a blizzard any more than anybody else. For the last three months he has done everything to keep the weather from getting out of hand. But the elements have been against him and it is his opinion that, unless we stand firm In the face of heavy snowfall now, we will have a worse blizzard later on. Everyone in this Administration is for clear weather, but it has to be clear weather with honor.

Isnt one of the dangers of a blizzard that the harder you try to dig out of it, the more chance you have of getti n g stuck in it?

Nobody knows the dangers of a blizzard more than the President. He did not arrive at his decision to have one until he consulted with many, many people.

Was Dean Rusk in on .it Im sure of it. He had to notify our Allies what we plan to do.

Have they supported him in the blizzard policy

They havent given snow plows or road-clearing equipment, and there are some of our friends who asked the President to hold off on the blizzard indefinitely and give the elements a chance. But here again the President had to make the final decision. (Continued On Page 5)

Copyright, 1968, King Features Syndicate, Inc. ' HARRISBURG, Pa. - The Republican Party may be in 'a bad way nationally, but in Pennsylvaiiia it is airea d y squared off for the 1966 state election with scarcely a cloud in the sky. The main reason is that the States tall, friendly and incredibly hardworking Lieutenant Governor, Raymond P. Shafer, a man with a rangy George Romney look, has managed to lock up the right to the Republican nolfn-ination for governor to succeed Bill Scranton while all the other aspirants were busy talking.

JOHN

CHABIBERLAOl

The Shafer ehievement must be reckoned as one of

the slickest operations ever carried out In the first week in January they were saying in Harrisburg that there was no leading candidate and that Governor Scranton still had options in picking his successor. But by the second week in the New Year, Scranton, who had sounded out the state through his personal trips and those of his State Chairman Craig Truax, was ready to giye Shafer h i s blessing. Shafer had It anyway. All that remained to be done was to induce the other contenders to settle for lesser spots on the ticket

So the Pennsylvania Republicans have unity, forced by a methodical campaigner who knew how to get it. They also have a candidate who upholds the conservafive with a heart theory that the objectives of the Great Society can be achieved by methods that will not by-pass either the State capitals or local communities. The pitch in Harrisburg is that the Republicans under Scranton have beaten ttie Federal Democrats to it In making Pennsylvania prosperous and in setting up programs designed to clean up rivers, save the land from strip mine uglifica-tion, and provide good education for every community.

The Pennsylvania Republicans have statistical cards to trump Johnsons aces. When Democrat David Lawrence was Governor, state unemployment was 7,4 per cent compared to a national 8.8 per cent. But for seven straight months in 1965 the state dropped below the national average. More than a bun<ired thousand persons had left the 'relief polls under Scranton to find gainful employment. The gains, no doubt, were due in some part to national prosper^ ity. But, 88 a salesman who had helped attract some eight hundred new plants to Pmn-sylvania in 1964 and 1965, Scranton Is in a position to say he planned it that way. Under a Pennsylvania Industria] Development Authority (Pida), which stood ready to grant loans for factory construction in areas whera unemployment ran over six per cent, the state has had its own depressed areas program.

The secret of financial success is to spend what you have after saving instead of saving what is left after spending. Dawson Ck)unty (Ga.) Advertiser.

The womens club will hold its regular monthly meet! n g Thursday afternoon at 3:30 oclock in the annex of the Model School. Miss Sallie Joyner Davis will speak on citizenship. , .

By ELMER ROESSNER The big idea for February for everybody from Du Pont to Gus, the delicatessen man, is to re-examine products, containers, promotions an<i everything else shipped.

Costs of sending everything, anything, from Hither, Me.,, to Yon, Calif., or from any two places in the United States, are going up. Workers in transport unions are seeking higher pay,; truckers and railroads are seeking higher rates, and President Johnson has got into the inflation act and called for higher parcel post rates.

The increases are inevita- ble and substantial. Often the cost of sending a product from one point to another may equal half the selling price.

And the time to do something about it is now, before the higher transport rates go

into effect.

WHAT TO DO IN FEBRUARY

Here are some suggestions for beating the coming shipping ripper:

1. Restudy the product, with special regard to weight. A plastic part substituted for a metal one, or an aluminum item used instead of a copper one, may not have saved much a year ago, but the added savings in shipping costs may make the change a bargain soon.

2. tatudy the possibilities

of shipping products in stripped-down fashion, with extras added at the point of delivery. V

3. Once again compare railroad, truck and barge rates. Changes In rates in one area may make It possible to save in others.

4. Restudy the classifications of products. Reclassifying some may gain lower rates.

5. Once again compare relative ecis of own trucks, renting trucks, and delivery services. These, costs constantly shift; what may have been cheaper last Feb. 2 may be costlier today, and vice versa. Also, check with your tax accountant.

6. Rechack packaging. Newer contaliMrs may be cheaper to buy and ship. Foamed plastics may give greater protection and cost less in shipping wei*^btthpn what von

low using. In other cases, xtra Inj

now

extra Insurance may be cheaper than added packaging.

T. Call in experts on shipping rates, product englneer-ingi and packaging. They

may save more than their fees; make that a condition of retainer.

8. Ck)ntider using suppliers closer by. Savings in shipping may offset minor price disa(I-vantages.

9. Stage contests among employees for ideas to save on shipping costs. Some employees may be sharper than you. Or I.

10. Consider decentralizing production. Assembly plants in other .areas, nearer to customers, may save coets. A plant on the other tide of the continent, for instance, might reduce shipping costa by using locally made com-
