Valuable Addition To Pitt Justice

A significant step forward has been taken by Greenville m purpha>iiig tne new Dreatnolyzer for use by its lawL,entorcement ofiicers in cases of persons suspected of driving drunk.

There is certain to be controversy over use of the instrument by officers and by the presentation as evidence in court the results of tests made with the instrument. Notwithstanding this controversy which is sure to arise, the new instrument can make a worthwhile contribution to law enforcement and to he administration of justice by the local courts.

The instrument will provide officers and the courts an additional means of helping to determine whether^arTJersorrwES under the influence of alcohol. It will be a more scientific means than those most often offered as evidence in the courts.

While it probably \yill mean more persons may be convicted of driving drunk charges in the local

Sports Fishing Faction Loses

By WILLUM A. SHIRES

ROUNDS - The states sports fishing interests have just lost couple of rounds in efforts to obtain stricter regulation of trash fishing, trawling and pier protection this season.

They failed to win approval of proposals to;

prohibit all trawling within half a mile of the shoreline and in the inlets.

prohibit traw ling closer than 1,500 feet from piers.

establish size limits on edible finfish and shrimp taken in North Carolina waters.

There is some disappointment about this. But pressure is mounting and the effort will continue on behalf of what sports fishermen believe is effective regulation and conservation of coastal fisher i es resources.

ISSUE There are predictions that if the effort is blocked, additional legislation will be requested when the 1967 General Assembly convenes.

In fact, fishing regulations already have become a hot political issue in coastal counties this Spring but from the standpoint of commercial fishermen who claim present regulations are too stringent.

Some political candidates in these counties are busy denouncing regulations already in effect and attacking the division of eonpn^fcial and sports fisheries and its commissioner.

POLITICAL - PoUtically, sports fishing enthusiasts feel their strength lies in the noncoastal counties, the home base of the many thousands who go to the coast to fish for fun and recreation.

They are busy too, contact-ting their candidates for the 1967 legislature and seeking support for the position of the states growing sports fishing Industry and conservationists.

This is no new situation.

There are few fields so beset with problems or stirred by controversy, and changes usually are achieved inch by inch.

REPORT At the present, a set of recommedations to be made to the state board of Conservation and Development in High Point next week falls far short of what sports fishing interests feel is needed.

In essence, a report by an 11-member advisory board is a much watered-down version of regulations proposed by a three - man subcommittee. Commericial fisheries interests, esi>ecially those in Carteret County, objected stren-ously to every recommendation and urged no action or that further study be made.

Voting on the recommenda-t i 0 n s, point by point, was sharply divided. Although close, the sports fishing interests lost out on their major points.

Make-up of the advisory board, by law enacted in 19-65, is composed of representatives of sports and commercial fishing interests, marine scientists and 1 e g i s 1 ators. Then of the 11 board members attended the meeting in More-head City. More than a dozen commercial fisherm e n showed up to express their views.

TRASH - In lengthy discussion, it was stressed that a definition of trash fishing is needed. It is a term not generally clear to the public.

As presently defined, trash fish include undersized fish of edible varieties, the young of native species which are food fish for humans, grey and spotted trout, croaker, spot, whiting or Virginia mullet and flounder, along with some others.

Sports fishermen recommended size limits on these species taken in conunercial quantities. As trash flsh, of any size, they bring |1 to $1.50 per 100 pound box at the fish houses - undersize or not and are promptly converted into cat food, mink feed or fish meal. A trawler may scoop up 2.500 pounds in a single drag. Considerable work is involved, hardly worth the $25 to $40 the boxes will bring at the fish house but on a slow day it, is better than nothing.

court, it will also provide addtional protection for the innocjsmt. It will provide the courts with better information on which to make the decisions required of them.

There was a time not too long ago when there was considerable controversy over use of radar and other electronic speed checking devices. The public generally has now recognized the advantage of using these more scientific devices for obtaining information for use in court cases.

The breatholyzer. though it may be resented initiallv by some citizens, is another step in use of scientific equipment by law enforcement agencies and by the courts for the protection of the public.

Rightly Pointed Out Who Sets The Policies

Prevsident Harold W. Tribble of Wake Forest College is to be applauded rather than condemned for bluntly and sternly pointing out to students at the college that it is the administration rather than the students who make policy at the institution.

In too many instances in recent years college officials have apparently left students with the impression that campus policy could be determined by students demands, picketing, parades and demon-startions. None of these things, of course, have occurred at Wake Forest in connection with the dispute between faculty and students over continuation of Saturday classes for most undergraduates.

\ When it comes to questions of policy, the ad-mini.stration of an institution is expected to set it, and the students are expected to abide by it After all, it is the responsibility of the admini.stration and faculty to educate the students . . . not vice versa.

It is to be hoped that Dr. Tribbles remarks have settled the matter o far as the Wake Forest campus is concerned.

WASHINGTON (AP)- Sixteen or 17 year.s look like a reasonable time to expect convulsions and, by the leadership, a morbid fear of change within the big Communi s t world.

It happened in the Soviet Union and is happening now in Red China.

If the spectacle of Americans heckling one another over the Vietnamese was given an impression of some uncertainty about U. S. foreign policy, the antics of the Red Chinese give a positive picture of confusion and frustration.

Stalin began his infamous purges in 1934, just 17 years after the Bolsheviks took over Czarist Russia, By forced confessions, trials and executions he got rid of thase he considered a threat to himself and his policies.

Now, 16 years after seizing mainland China, the Red Chinese leadership is humiliating some of the leading Chinese intellectuals, among other things by publicizing their alleged confession of wrong-thinking.

So far there has been no news of executions of intellectuals or fwrner party faithfuls in Red China. But the leaderships public castigation of the intellectuals reveals the dis-

Stalin was a black reactionary. He had the genius to drive the Soviet Union into becoming one of the great powers. But he did it at a dreadful cost in lives and comfort The Chinese leadership under Mao Tze-tung is just as reactionary.

But Stalin had more time than Mao and those close to Mao to silence the discontented, the disenchanted, and the critics of his regime. Stalin was 54 when he began the purges and 73 when he died in 1953, a span of 19 years.

Thus he had plenty of time to make his will prevail. And it did prevail, but only until his death. Then he was repudiated and changes began.

But Mad is already 72 with not much time left for silencing the critics. Until Tuesday, when Peking reported hi m back in circulation, he had not been seen since November.

If Mao alone was the old one in the Red Chinese leadership, he could expect those close to him would persist in his policies. But those in his leadership group are close to him in age. Time is running out for all of them.

This is not the first purge of the Chinese intellectuals. Mao inflicted a previous one on them in 1957. the fact that he finds it necessary to repeat the dose is testimony to the discontent beneath the top leadership level.

And the leadership was reason to be unsure of itself. China in recent months has suffered one diplomatic def e a t after another; in Cuba, Indo-nesia, Algeria. Ghana.

The Real Secret Agency

The CIA has been getting so much publicity lately that one starts to wonder how secret our secret service really is. Esquire magazine devoted an entire issue to the CIA, the New York Times had a five-part series on it, and the CIA is defending an Estonian in a slander suit in Baltimore. In another case coming to court soon, a man who says he worked for the CIA is being

tried for smuggling arms destined for Angola and Mozambique. You cant pick up the newspaper or a magazine these days without reading about the organization.

Many people are bewildered over the amount of publicity the CIA is getting, but I can put their minds at ease. The reason the CIA is getting all the publicity is that it is not our major secret service or-

!ast Carolina Rectangle

(Goldsboro News-Argus)

Raleigeh, Durham and Chap-pel Hill have their Research Triangle. The Mid-State Piedmont region has its Golden Crescent.

Mid-Eastern North Carolina should have its Go Forward Rectangle.

The proposed Rectangle would bring together for united action and effort the men and assets of one of the richest potentials in the South.

Eastern North Carolina in the next five to 10 years will grow more rapidly in population, industry and wealth than any section of the state. That is the verdict of qualified economists who have made projections and careful studies of the new day dawning for the East.

A business man who declines to allow use of his name would start the Rectangle with Greenville, and include Kinston, Goldsboro, Wilson and Rocky Mount.

Focal point at Greenville would enable the Rectangle area to make general use of the Institute for Community Development at East Carolina College. 'Through use of the computer and other modern methods business and industry and distribution officials seeking new sites could find what ttiey might require and that quickly.

Already a start at Greenvile and East Carolina College is preparing data on assets and opportunities offered by various communities. The data will be fed into a computer. The company seeking a plant site could feed the information into t h e computer and it would select and hand out the names of the communities which most nearly meet all requirements of the seekers. Such an operation would make unnecessary visits to all possible sites; the visitors would study (he computers offerings and select the ones from which to make final determination.

The Go Forward Rectangle would do what developers have been saying must be done since the late George C. Royall was president of the Eastern Carolina Chamber of Commerce-work for regional progress rather than fight among all cities seeking designation for plants.

And the Rectangle would invite as members, all cities and counties of Eastern Carolina.

The example of what the Research Triangle is accomplishing could do more to bring a Go Forward Rectangle about than the continued pil^ach-ments and pleas of the regions leadel.

ganization. It is, in fact, a cover to detract from our real central intelligence agency which is the Department of Agriculture.

Yes, the Department of Agriculture is the real intelligence organization, operating without fanfare, rarely getting its name in the papers, and maintaining a discreet silence worthy of the greatest intelligence operation in the free world.

It can now be revealed that the CIA was set up for no other reason than to keep people from prying into the affairs of the Agriculture Department.

The $46 million CIA headquarters at Langley, with its 16,000 employees, the far-flung spy network, the gathering of information from around the world, is all a ruse which, up until how, has worked beyond the Department of Agricultures wildest dreams.

The CIA has been blamed for the U-2 incident, the foul-up in the Dominican Republic, and the setting up of the Diem government in South Viet Nam. What few people realize is thats exactly the way Orville Freeman the Secretary of Agriculture, wants it, because the more things the CIA gets blamed for, the less chance there is of discovering who was really behind these operations.

Whenever someone starts getting inquisitive about what the Department of Agriculture is*up to, the CIA immediately (Continued On Page 5)

I once had a talk with Uie son of Phil La Follette. It was in the period of Phil s political eclipse. Phil had been the pre - World War U Governor of Wisconsin, he had tried unsuccessfully to ; t a new national Progressive Party and now, after a lifetime of public striving, he had nothing to show for it but memories. His son, surveying the scene, told me that politics was a mugs game, with ingratitude its prime award, and that he would have nothing to do with it. He was going off to Alaska to pioneer.

Well, politics Is a mugs game, aU right. It is played viciously and for keeps. Take, for instance, the recent experience of Bill Miller, Barry Goldwaters Vice Presidential running mate. When the 1964 campaign was over. Bill Miller swore that he would not talk with reporters about politics for a good long time. He let down the bars the other day, but not in any sense that he considered dangerous. When he was asked a leading question about the pbssiblity of supporting Nelson Rockefeller for Governor of New York State next autumn, Bill gave the reply that might be expected of any Republican. He said he would vote for the choice of the partys convention.

But, as things turned out, this was the beginning of what rapidly turned into as neat a bit of mousetrapping as has been seen in a month of Sundays. Before the story had ceased to spread, Miller had turned down an invitation to run for Governor on the Conservative Psuly ticket. Rocky had sent him a note thanking him for his assurance that he would not join any Conservative third party move to trip up the regular Republicans in their quest for victory, and Miller had offered to campaign for Rockefeller. The only thing wrong with ^11 this Is that not one single item in it happens to have bei true. There was no Miller offer to campaign for Rockefeller. There was no wrong with all this is that not one signle item in it happens to have been true. There was no Miller offer to campaign for Rockefeller. There was no Conservative Party bid to Miller to head a third party ticket. And, after Rockefellers employe, former baseball star Jackie Robinson, had made an issue with his boss of its Miller or me, it developed that the New York Governor had not communed with Miller about help of any kind.

Disgusted with the w h o 1# business, Bill Miller tried to set the record straight for tha benefit of a Buffalo, New York, reading public. But the correction has battered at the doors of downstate in vain. In New York City, where there has been a newspaper strike, the newspapers that continued to publishtwo liberal papers and one tabloiddid not seem to be particularly interested in helping Bill Miller out. Meanwhile conservat i v e Republicans who knew nothing of the circumstances hava been left with the wholly fallacious impression that Miller had tried abjectly to crawl back into the good graces of. the Republican liberals.

Oh, its a mugs game, all right, But it has its comeuppances, or at least the possibility of them.

Just who is running this country anyway?

Lyndon Baines Johnson?

Or William McChesney Martin?

At the moment, it looks as if Martin is.

Late last November, surely with the approval of President Johnson and the rest of the Cabinet, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Fowler publicly warned against an increase in the discount rate, which controls practially all money rates in the United States. Exactly a week later,-the Federal Reserve Board, of which Martin is mainspring and chairman, raised the discount rate from 4 to 4.5 per cent.

It may be that Martin, not Johnson or Fowler, was right. Perhaps the increase was necessary to slow down Jiome-htuJding by increasing tne rat

es on mortgages, to slow business expansion and to put a brake on inflation.

But the question remains; Who is calling the tunes at this hoedown?

WHOS CONTROLLING TAX RATES

In the last few weeks. President Johnson has indicated that he is not in favor of increasing income taxes now; t h a t he believes other methods of checking inflation should be tried first.

But last Wednesday, Martin called for a simple, clear-cut, across-the-board increast in both personal and corporate taxes. This he said, would be the logical way to deal with inflation despite the political problems that might be involved.

Just who is the Lawrence Welk of the economy today? Who is calling the one-an-

a-two?

Martin, speaking before a savings bank meeting, said if the administration did not move to increase taxes, the Federal Reserve would have to act on its own, which could only mean boosting the discount rate to 5 per cent or higher.

Whos at the wheel of 11 s old ship anyhow?

On the day Martin spoke. Challenge magazine appeared with an article bv Micbael D.

Reagan, University of California professor of political science, blistering the Federal Reserve Board and questioning its place in a democratic society. It had been written before Martin spoke.

Reagan conceded that the Federal Reserve was created to be independent of the Presidency, but that original cir-curostances no longer exist, and that the argument that the Fed is responsible to Congress is no longer valid. It is not, he said, responsible to the voters, as is the President and CongrW-

Congrtii control over ad-miniatrativa bodies is generally exercised through the appropriations (it gets its money from reserve bank earnings), nor does it select the chairman. The President appoints the chairman and his term is for four years and members are for 14 year.
