Considered For

Cemo Chairman

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES

BLUE Former House Speaker H. Clifton Blue apparently is being considered seriously for the job as next chairman of the State Democratic Executive Conunittee.

In fact, according to reports In some quartnv the Aberdeen newspaper publisher may now be the front-runna* for this top party post He is receiving numerous endorsements.

Sources say Blue is gaining support daily, with endorsements from almost all factions of the party.

This, of course, may not be ture in the case of staunch supporters of Lt. Gov. Robert W. (Bob) Scott. Blue ran for lieutenant governor in 19-64. opposing Scott in two hard-fought primaries. The two men themselves have remained friends, however.

GOVERNOR - There are growing indications that Gov. Dan K. Moore may conclude Blue is the man he wants to succeed J. Melville Broughton Jr. who is reported ready to Step down shortly after the forthcoming state convention.

The governor is being told that Blue is interested in the job and that he would be effective in bringing most of the factions in the party together to present a united front in the elections next November. Also, Blue's considerable legislative experience would be helpful in dealing with the Democratic majority in the 1967 (jeneral Assembly.

As of last weekend, foe governor was not committed. Apparently he bad made no definite choice.

POSITION - Blue himself said he was not in a position to comment on reports foat be might be recommended as state party chairman in the near future.

T He said he had no definite Word and had not talked with the governor about it.

So there's nothing definite about it, he said. Its entirely in the governors hands. It was learned, however, that close politicad aides of

Moore have been in touch with Blue to discuss the situation and presumably to determine whether he would be interested in the post if it should be offered.

The governor may have several other people in mind, and Im just one of many, says Blue.

COMMITTEE Technically, the chairman of the State Democratic Executive committee is elected by the committee.

But in practice, it is the governor as titular head of the party in the state who makes the choice so long as Democrats are in power in Raleigh.

An entirely new state executive committee is to be named at the biennial state convention in Raleigh. One of its first chores, apparently, will be to consider sweeping changes in the party plan of organization made necessary by recent redistricting. This, however, would not necessarily affect the choosing of a new chairman nor conflict with it.

TRUSTEES - One of the states leading lady n e w s-paper editors, Mrs. Elizabeth Swindell, feels the press might assist in boosting attendance at meeti- gs of the University of North Carolina board of trustees.

Mrs. Swindell made her suggestion at a meeting of the Eastern North Carolina Press Association in Wilson last weekend. She is editor and publisher of the host newspaper, the Wilson Daily Times, and a former president of the North Carolina Press Association.

In view of difficulty lately in obtaining a quorum for meetings of the 112 member UNC board of trustees, she suggests that the states newspapers publish the names of trustees who attend the meetings and those who are absent.

This is such a coveted position, and so much sought after, the public has a right to know who goes to the meetings and who doesnt, she says.

University trustees at present are elected by the legislature, but alternate methods of selecting at least some of the trustees are under study by a commission headed by former Gov. Luther H. Hodges. This commission is scheduled to report before the 19-67 General Assembly.

The turn of events oTten has a way of bringing back that which has been relegated to the past.

Thus it is with the battleship. It seems only a short time ago when these gigantic war ships, once queen of the seas, were being retired from the service. With great fanfare the Navy proclaimed them to be obsolete. They had served well in their era, but now we were in an age of nuclear bombs and air supremacy and the battle wagon was simply outmoded.

That was a few years ago. Now we leam that the battle ships may not be so outmoded, after all. In fact the Navy is thinking of taking one or more of them out of mothballs for active duty.

This duty would not be merely cruising the oceans as a deterrent. The battleships would actually see combat duty in Viet Nam. It seems that the big 16-inch guns might be of service in the Viet Nam situation, just as they were in Korea.

Somehow it pleases us to think of the big vessels plowing the sea once again. It is true that modern weapons could knock them olSt in full scale war. Still there is nothing more awesome on the high seas than the silhouette of a great battle wagn.

By JAMES MARLOW

WASHINGTON (AP) -Sen. J. W. Fulbright, D-Ark., has had something critical to say about American foreign policy ever since he first spoke in the Senate with his maiden speech there in 1945.

And his attempt Tuesday to explain his criticism of President Johnsons foreign policy is not the first time he tried to explain what he said after being criticized for saying it.

In that speech 21 years ago, just a few months after election to the Senate, he complained that for more than

This Date-

40 Years Ago Today

two decades American foreign policy had been improvis from day to day.

As chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee now Ws words get more attention but through the years he managed to get attention and never more so than with his suggestion about President Harry S. Truman in 1946.

As soon as the Republicans gained control of Congress in the elections that year, Fulbright suggested that Truman, who had no vice president, should appoint a Republican to succeed him and then resign.

Washington Swing Set

By JOHN G. DUNCAN May 19, 1926 Says Men Who Followed Lee Will Carry On.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama-The men who followed Lee will Carry On as long as two or three can travel. Gen. W. B. Freeman, Commander in chief, said here today in his Keynote address at the opening session of the 36th anual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans.

Representative H. R. Gross, the Republican Congressman from Iowa, has finsdly blown the whistle on one of the best kept secrets in Washington. And that is that the Johnson administration is composed of a swinging mink coat set, which dances until three oclock every morning through the White House halls.

The good Congress man made a speech on the floor of the House deploring not only the swinging at the White

House, but all the Dolce Vita activities that have been going on, such as Press Secretary Bill Moyers doing the Watusi and Frug, and one woman who was sent home from an opera ball because she was wearing a transparent dress which Rep. Gross said made her half naked.

I was as shocked to read about all these goings-on as anyone.

As soon as I heard about Rep. Grosss S|^ch I called

my wife and said, We havent been invited to the White House this week, have we? Whats the matter v;ith you? she said. Weve never been invited to the White House.

Its just as well, I said. Do you know what they do there?

Dont tell me.

They dance the Watusi and the Frug until three in the morning.

Local Legion Post Holds A Splendid Meet

The Pitt County Post of the American Legion meet in regular monthly meet last night and the program featured short talks and copies of revised rosters were presented to members. It was decided that a prize of $120 in gold would 1^ given to the first member who procured 20 new members.

The Senior BYPU of the Immanuel Baptist Church enjoyed a gypsy tea at Green-wreath Park yesterday afternoon from 4 until 9 oclock with about 30 members present.

The Senior Girls* Club of Greenville High School entertained the Senior Boys Club at the senior dinner on last Friday. Miss Sarah Ogletree, president of the Senior Class, acimT^s'"lbSrifimPHS7We^

corned the guests. The response was given by Davis Lee Moore.

Truman ignored him publicly, but not off the record, and Fulbright got such a bad reaction that within four days he issued a five-page explanation, saying he had been misunderstood and misinterpreted.

But the explanation was only a repetition of the original statement. He was critical of President Dwight D. Elisen-howers foreign policy, much less critical of President John F. Kennedys, and then really went to town on Johnson.

Last September he attacked Johnsons use of troops during the revolt in the Dominican Republic last April.

Johnson said nothing and relations between the two men became pretty frigid. But in recent months he has piled criticism upon criticism of Johnsons policy in Viet Nam. Two* things in particular got attention:

He wondered whether the United States could ever overcome that arrogance of power which in some cases had destroyed other nations; and he called the Vietnamese capital of Saigon an American brothel. ,

Johnson still hasnt gone after Fulbright directly but last week in a speech at Princeton

(The Raleigh Times)

Bill Shires, Raleigh correspondent for the N. C. Association of Afternoon Dail i e s, gave an accurate Summary of the matter when he said that the trend toward official secrecy in t h e conduct of (North Carolinas) public business behind closed doors is increasing. Shires spoke over the weekend to the Eastern North Carolina Press Association.

This isnt news. The newspapers have hammered away at the closed doors for years, and it is true that in recent months they have run into more closed doors than ever before. They have tried, and are trying, to get them open so that the taxpayers can find out what is being done with and to their business behind those do sed doors.

The newspapers will continue to seek to the open those doors, and eventually some of them will open again and the people in those rooms will again conduct public business in public. But, the newspapers cant do this opening

job alone, and they shouldnt have to do it alone. For, it is the business of the taxpayers to know how public businesses is being handled. And, it is the business of the taxpayers to see to it that public business is handled in public.

If the people make their wishes known to their legislators, the doors will be opened again. Legislators have submitted meekly in recent session to the kind of secrecy which shouldnt be permitted. Even legislators themselves have been barred from the all - important meetings of the subcommittee which, in effect, passes the biennial budget bill. And, as some legislators found out to their dismay, some of their own pet projects fell secretly by the wayside in that clos e d room. When the legislat o r s found out about "the falling, it was too late to do anything about it.

The best place for public business is out in public. If you want to know how your tax dollars are being spent in Raleigh, tell your legislators about it.

like such nice people, my wife said.

You never know what goes on in someones house after the sun goes down, I told her. Did you know that the President dances also? It couldnt be true.

And Mrs. Johnson and Luci and Lynda Bird and Hubert Humphrey and Muriel. (Continued on page 5)

President Johnson recently did a slow burn at Princeton University over our intellectuals who think we should be rushing to deal with the Communists on Vietnam. But his spoken words, which called for the responsible element in our community of scholars to recognize the limited char^ acter of U. S. aims in Southeast Asia, were all too polite. The truth is that our more articulate intjellectuals, with few exceptions, are in full sympathy with Fulbring-Morse description of American foreign policy as arrogant. Wearing blinders, these Intel- * lectuals seldom, iJf ever, make mention of the Communist treatment of their brother artists, professors, philosophers, and literary men anywhere between East Berlin and Peldng.

Thats the first good thing Ive heard about the White House in months, she said.

Hush, my sweet, I said. The Devil niay have the line tapped. Did you know that an ordained Baptist minister has been leading the dancing and doing the Swim, the Monkey, and the LBJ Stomp? Heaven preserve us, my wife said. Could it be Reverend Bill Moyers?

The very same, I told her. Its as if Sadie Thompson had come back to earth and moved into the Lincoln Room of the White Hou?e. The LBJ crowd seemed

WhAt the one-eidedness ( the average American Intelleo-tuals response to the confrontation of East and West a'ddi up to is a treason of the intel^ cctuals, to use the Frenchman Julian Bendas phrase for it The U. S. is, in effect, being sold out by its thinkeri which means that they are bad thinkers and not really entitled of the name of intellectual.

Where, to cite one flagrant instance of failure to defend the integrity of artistic intent is there any intellectual protest at the corrupt concessions to the Communist Polish government made by western film makers who wanted to shoot certain scenes of The Night of Generals in the streets of Warsaw? The Night of the Generals, a novel by Hans Helmut Kirst, is the story of a Nazi army officer w)io, after 1945, becomes a general in the East German Army. The general is a murderer who is wanted for the killing of some prostitutes. Ana-tole Litvak, the director of the* film being made from the novel, wanted very much to take some shots in Poland in order to give verisimilitude to the moving picture version of the tale. But, to get Polish permission for taking western actors to Warsaw, Litvak had to alter the plot of the novel. Instead of portraying a German general who has enlisted in the East German Communist army, Peter OToole is a neo-Nazi who is in the pay of sinister West German industrialists. And his suicide no longer occurs in East Germany; it is being switched to Hamburg!

In other words, to please a Communist country, American movie makers and British actors are perfectly willing to lend themselves to the Communist propaganda that West Germany is still Nazi-dominated.

This is the sort of censorship by indirection that should have our John Herseys and our Arthur Millers leaping to the barricades to defend the right of an author to uncorrupted presentation of his (Continued On Page 5)

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS NO VISION We read in the Book of Proverbs (29:18) that where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint.

The word vision is t h e translation of a Hebrew word closely related to the word prophesy, or the sett i n g forth of divine truth. So the statement is, therefore, that where there is no setting forth of divine truth, the people cast feff restrairit.

The*present-day increase in crime' is alarming to .all thoughtful people. Juvenile delinquency, acts of violence, sexual immorality, and divorce are appalling realities over which statesmen, parents, social workers, and ministers are becoming gravely anxious.

After all other causes have.

After all other causes have been enumerated, the lack of religious faith certainly stands as* the greatest cause of crime and wrongdoing. The overwhelming majority of moral evils occurs among groups of people who are'untouched by the Church. In these modern times we are becoming increasingly aware of the soundness of the ancient dictum that where there is no setting forth of divine truth, the people cast off restraint.

Certainly the cure can be stated simply and briefly-' More devo t i o n to Church, more religious training in the home, better Sunday schools, more serious use of Sunday as .a religious day, and more effective Biblical preaching.

By ELMER ROESSNER The British Labor par tys plan to use taxes to get more workers out of service industries and into production jobs calls attention to the fact that more than half the United States labor* force is working in service industries.

The labor plan is to impose L payroll tax of $3.50 a week on every male employee, and somewhat less on every female employee. However, in production industries, the employer would get a rebate of $4.55 per man a week. In transport and a few related industries, employers would get back the original $3.50 a week, but in the service industries, they would get back nothing.

The plans first purpose is to raise more tax monies for the government. The second purpose is to force service employers to cut their staffs, hereby making more workers available for production.' HOPE; TO BUILD ^ '

EXPORTS^ ~

The Labor party hopes that with moro-workers available, and what amounts to a subsidy of $1.05 a week per man, production companies will increase their output and export more, thereby helping to improve the balance of payments situation.

The plan is not a stop-gap idea, the government Ians to make it permanent, starting Sept. 5.

The Tories are in lusty opposition. They point out the plan, would increase the cost of jliving at least 1 per cent. A.L.P. Barber, a former Tory Treasury Minister, said that

Ihslead bfTdllbvraig either the hawks of the Doves, Chancellor of the Exchequer James Callaghan was following the cuckoos. Another Conservative pointed out that the first result of the new legislation would be to increase the number of service workers: 3,500 more people to administer the tax in the Rev-' ene Service.

THE AMERICAN PROBLEM

The rise in the number of service workers in the United Staes has concerned many ^ economists. A recenty stycjy 'by the Ndtional Bureau of EcoBopiic Research, fmi^o ed by the Ford Foundation, showed that more than half the labor force in the U. S. was engaged in services. Service includes far , more than servants. It includes the professions barbers and beauticians, bank and insurance employees, real estate employees, store and gas station employees, bowling alley

workers and on. And one of the biggest groups of all is government workers.

The study also showed that since 1929, the output pci man has increased almost 2.5 per cent a year in the commodity-producing industries, but only 1 per cent a year in serv-ice industries.

Since American wages are in general tied to productivity, this means that when an auto workers production is increased 2.5 per cent, he expects a 2.5 per cent pay increase. But the barber, whose productivity has increased only 1 per ceat, if any, al$o x* pacts a 2.5 par cant rlM* And if he doesnt gat it, ha Is likely to either strike or quit his job and seek one in production.

This situation creates a minor though constant probl e m in the economy, leading to stresses and strains. So far, these strains have not led to calls for such drastic steps as Britain is contemplatiag.
