AAU Decision Compliments ECC

The Amateur Athletic Unions decision to hold its 1968 National Senior Mens Indoor Swimming and Diving Championships at East Carolina College is a source of great pride for all friends of the local institution.

There has been considerable effort exerted by representatives argument to AAU delegates who met A\ national convention in Honolulu. East Carolinas principal competition for the event was Yale Uni-verity, although other major univerities made a bid for it.

No doubt, the major thing in East Carolinas favor was the availability of a Natatorium here second to none in the nation. The indoor pool complex is now under construction as a part of Minges Coliseum in the colleges athletic area. Swimming Coach Dr. Ray Martinez has described it as perhaps the most outstanding in the nation. It will feature an Olympic size eight lane swimming pool with split second timing devices, and a separate diving pool.

The coliseum with the Natatorium are scheduled

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES

RALEIGH - Gov. Dan K. Moore has made it perfectly crystal clear. He does not intend to reveal details of his 1967-69 budget recommendations, his new tax cut proposals nor his entire legislative -program until the 1967 General Assembly convenes.

This, in effect, takes t h e governor off something of a pot He has thrown a blanket over t|iese matters, many of which apparently have been decided. 'Phere may be a few : peeks beneath the blanket be-cweea now and early February. but no full revelation.

Moore insists that he does not want to be evasive nor that he is being evasive.

It is traditional, he said, and the usual way of doing things.

It is just a matter of waiting until the right time,* Moore said. To disclose details now, at this time would be a mistake.

Reporters Are Persistent

Reporters attending the governors news conference~his first since the Nov. 8 elections were persistent in

SHIRES

their questioning. But Moore remained adamant.

'Time and again, he said this is a question which must remain unanswered. Ill have to reserve any statement on that until the legislature convenes.

In some cases, the governor pleaded that he did not as yet have adequate knowledge on a fiubject and withheld comment.

In most, on budget and tax matters, Moore deferred and aideatepped a specific answer on grounds that a reply would be premature and against tradition.

He refused to reply to more questions than be answered. At one point in the 40-minute press conference, nearing exasperation, the governor con

fessed, I have opinions on all of these subjects. But I cannot disclose them at this time.

Biggest News Very likely the biggest spot news obtainable during Moores press conference was contained in a prepared release or handout. This was the advisory opinion of a majority of the state Supreme Court that the farming out of prisoners serving terms Cor murder, manslaughter, rape, attempted rape and arson is per-missable under the states work-release law for convicts.

And there was a single dissent even to this, from Associate Justice I. Beverly Lake.

This was issued as a routine comment from the governor but obviously was of great significance to the State Prisons department and board of paroles.

Governor Hodges

The reporters bored in with questions about the goverors recently announced intention to ask for a general and broad cut in state taxes. Could he elaborate and furnish more details? Moore said no not yet.

We have prepared what we think is an excellent budget, he said. He called it forward and progressive and one which he feels will be satisfactory to all state agencies and institutions. At the same time, he said, it will offer some relief to the taxpayers.

Beyond this, the governor hedged and refised to divulge further details. When the legislature convenes, he said, he will make his position entirely clear.

Lunchroom Program Moore was non - committal on the future of the states .share in the school lunch program. This until last year was entirely a local - federal program, he said. Until 1965, at his request, the state has never participated in this program. Moore pointed out that he asked the 1965 General Assembly for $800,000 to assist in this program which was the first time this has been done, Now, he said, it is a matter to be considered. Again, he declined to go into budget details before the legislature convenes.

for completion next year, allowing plenty of time for any needed refinements prior to the AAU event in 1968.

Even with such a splendid facility, however, the college could never have gained the eVent, which includes national television coverage, without the utmost efforts of Dr. Leo Jenkins and Dr. Martinez. And their efforts might have gone for naught without the full support of Gov. Moore, former Gov. Sanford and many other influential persons throughout the state.

The fact that the event will be held here is a compliment to the college, the community and the state as a whole. With the outstanding facilities now available the college can expect to see other national and regional swimming meets held here, if this one is carried out successfully.

To make a success of the AAU chmapionship wilil require much work by college organizations and also considerable effort on the part of community groups and its citizens. There is no doubt much will need doing between now and 1968 to see that adequate accomodations and entertainment are provided for the outstanding athletes who will be here from throughout the world.

Greenville's citizens and organizations should offer their full support of this major event and do everything possible to make it a success.

Pre-Christmas Rush Is Time For Extra Core

In this season when automobile and pedestrian traffic in cities and towns reach their peak, it behooves drivers and those who walk to take pecial care to keep a sharp lookout for each other.

In downtown shopping areas and in outlying shopping centers both walking and riding traffic will be heavier in the next three weeks than at any other period of the year. Generally speaking, people will be busier and in a greater hurry than at other easons of the year. The hazards for both driver and pedestrian will increase sharply as the number of shopping days left to Christmas dwindle.

Each driver and each shopper should see that the mormal safety precautions he takes when riding or wilking are not lost in the pro-Christmas rush. Indeed, each one should resolve now to drive a little more carefully on the streets, in parking lota and on the highways during the weeks immediately ahead. And each one should also resolve to walk wdth greater care in congested areas to avoid becoming both the cause and the victim of an unfortunate accident.

The nation has a chronic health problem. The diagnosis: a shortage of manpower in the health professions. The prescription: effective planning for the education and training of personnel to meet community health needs.

Over the last four years the National Commission on Community Health Services, with Marion B. Folsom, a native of Georgia as chairman, has conducted a nationwide study of community health needs, resources, and practices. The Commissions report indicates that such great strides have been made during the last several years that today our scientific knowledge greatly exceeds our ability to put it into practice. We must find a means of bridging the gap be tween what we know and what we do in health and medical care.

Personnel needs in the health professions are on the increase. Health and medical care have never before required so great a number of people with the ability to perform such a wide variety of tasks. Health, now the third largest industry in our society. Is on its way to becoming the first.

Modern quality health service requires the skills and techniques of many kinds of health personnel. A partial list includes not only doctors, nurses, and dentists, buy many varieties of laboratory technicians, pharmacists, home makers, health aides, social

workers, psychological and vocational counselors, nutritionists, engineers, and physical, occupational and speech therapists.

The concept of health service is changing, with new emphasis on man and his environment in relation to health and disease. We are moving toward the concept of health as a broad, community-wide responibility with comprehensive community health centers, in which many professionals and technicians share in the total health care of the individual.

To provide this type of care in the next ten years will require a staff increase of about 20 percent, some 275,000 additional professional and tecli-nical personnel.

Our colleges and universities, of course, must carry the greatest burden in recruiting and educating these additional personnel. But educational agencies such as state boards of higher education can contribute greatly by taking the lead in planning health education programs in light of community needs. Planning on this level will eliminate unnecessary duplication in curricula while making certain that state and regional needs are met. It will also assure that the best qualified institutions offer training in specific areas.

As the concept of comprehensive community health service becomes more widespread, colleges and unlversit-(Continued On Page 5)

WASHINGTON - Do you know what one of the troubles with the Vietnam war is? a colonel in the Pentagon asked me the other day.

Im sure I dont, I said in all honesty.

We cant make an enemy out of the enemy.

I though ^out this for a few minutes and\ then I said, Hows that a^ain?

Just what I said. Its impossible to describe the enemy in terms that will get to the American people emotional

ly.

You mean we cant call them yellow bellies as we did the Japanese in World War II? I said.

Exactly. Nor can we refer to them in racial terms, because the people on our side look exactly the same as the people on their side.

I never thought about that, I said.

The problem is how do you portray the Viet Cong in photographs and movies for what they really are without

Other Editors Saying Colds Can Still Resist

(Wichita Falls Record-News)

Many of the classic diseases of history have been conquered by the 20th centurys medical skills and mode r n drugs, and there is some hope other major malad i e s may soon be brought under control. However, we are in the season during which nearly all of us wish that the one disease suffered almost universally could be cured. But the cold virus still resists the best efforts of the worlds combined medical and other scientific research talent.

One of the most diffic u 11 parts of the research is the fact a variety of viruses, possibly even a hundred, produce symptoms most of us call colds. The true cold is an infection or one or more of the viruses, and bacteria are believed to be purely secondary infectors.

We are warned each year by medical scientists that some of the drugs we take as cold cures are a waste of money and effort and some are even dangerous when used carelessly or in excessive amounts.

We are learning more about

the disease. It has been established that colds are harder to spread than formerly believed and that a fresh cold appears to be more contagious than the older ones. Furthermore it is established childrens colds are more contagious than those of adults.

One debate that still is raging in research circles is whether or not becoming chilled or damp increases the incidence of colds.

What do we do then when we have a cold?

Any treatment should be directed toward relief of discomfort of a runny nose, watering eyes, sore throat, fever and other symptons. Many physicians adminster an antibiotic in order to check the secondary infections from bacteria. But for the cold they suggest mild medication to relieve discomfort and rest or at least inactivity.

It is well to remember that a cold is not a minor matter. If it persists or seems severe medical attention. In its various forms it probably steals more man hours from business and industry than any otier infection.

offending the South Vietnamese at the same time? Through atrocities, of course, I replied. Cant you show the Viet Cong committing atrocities against the South Vietnamese people? Its awfully difficult, he said, because our television cameramen and still photographers only take pictures of the atrocities we commit, but never get any shots of the ones the Viet Cong commit.

The solution then would be to get our cameramen at-

tached to the Viet Cong, I said.

Its a good suggestion, the colonel said, but every time we ask Hanoi if we can have our camera crews cover their operations, they say we cant until we stop the bomb-mg.

And we cant stop the bombing, I said.

Of course not. At least not until they stop raping and pillaging the South Vietnamese villages.

Which nobody will believe theyre doing because we have no pictures?

Thats the difficulty, We dont even have any good films of the North Vietnamese in Hanoi calling for the raping and pillaging of South Vietnam. Remember in World War II those wonderful shots of Hitler, Goebbels and Goering screaming oaths at the Allies?

How could anyone forget?

3ehinc. Chinas _ nres

By ROWLAND EVANS

AND ROBERT NOVAK

HONG KONG A deepening rift over Red Chinas buccaneer foreign policy, particularly in Viet Nam, is now believed to be a main source of the convulsion sweep i n g the country.

As of this writing, the backlash against the outrages of the Red Guards of Mao Tse-Tung and his protege, hardliner Marshal Lin Piao, is seen here as a signal of growing concern over their shrill and agressive foreign policy line.

If the backlash proves to be decisive, more stable leaders of the Communist party hierarchy including such unlikely revisionists as President Liu Shao Chi, will have triumphed over Marshal Un and the Red Guards. ^

In the opinion of those who read the China tea leaves from the vantage point of Hong Kong, that would signal a slow but perceptible drawing back from dangerous foreign adventures such as the one Peking has been sponsoring in Viet Nam.

Liu and others in the inner party leadership have been attacked by the Red Guards for departing from the thought of Mao'* (which has the power of divinity) and for other heinous crimes. But when brought out from the veil of esoteric allegory which mask all political debate in Peking, the charge may ba seen for what it is: that Liu and a very large portion of the party bureaucracy are suspected, among other things, of wanting to moderate Chinas adventurous foreign policy and growing isolation from the Soviet Union.

MORE REALISTIC VIEW

Liu, Premier Chou En-Lai, Foreign Minister Chen Yl and the few other party leaders who have travelled bey o n d Chinas borders have a more realistic view of the outside than Lin, whose knowledge is strictly second - hand.

They know Mao guessed wrong when he informed Communist leaders in Hanoi that the United States would never intervene In Viet Nam in anything like the degree it has. They know that Peking has suffered incalculably throughout Asia, Africa and Latin America in its ideological schism with Moscow; that it lost the whole baU game in Indonesia; and that is half at wer with the U.S. (with forty to sixty thousand Cbinesa troops wlrking full time in North Viet Nam, buil(fing a large new air field and giving direct help to Hanois anti -aircraft defenses).

This group includes, according to indications avalla b 11 here, the economists responsible for the next five - year plan, headed by U Fu-Chun, and other practical bureaucrats who have spent the past five years recovering from the almost fatal disaster of the Great Leap Forward.

These party hlerachs, however, can scarcely come out publicly against Mao, Marshal Lin and the Red Guar d s. That would be fatal. Their strategy must be to lie low, stay quiet and treat the shrill commands of the Red Guards with polite contempt The heart of their strategy is to let the Great Cultural Revolution defeat itself by the outrages and excesses of the Red Guards.

Strength For Today

December Sales To Set Records

By EARL L. DOUGLASS DRUG COMPANY STOCKS

This is not a financial column, but a certain modern business situation has such moral implications that it may well come within the area of our consideration.

Many investment counselors point out that well - selected stock of pharmaceutical and drug manufacturing firms constitute good investment. The reason is that as a nation we are using so many drugs today. These are not the so-called habit - forming drugs (opium derivatives but just plain sedatives, pain killers, or stimulants of some kind to pep us up when we become downcast. New brands arc constantly appearing on the market. Give us time enough and every individual will probably be taking a couple of dozen of of pills every day (except those for whom the taking of medicine is contrary to their

religious beliefs).

A drugged nation ia not a nation up to par. If we have to lean on stimulants and sedatives to get through the day, then there is something definitely the matter with our souls, for this is a religious and spiritual matter. The beautHul earth on which we live, the op-portunites of the mid-twentieth century, the benefits of a free country, the unusual food values now offered at every supermarket these contribute to make life amply rewarding for rich and poor, old and young, alike.

We do not need to drug ourselves in order to be happy. The Bible makes amply clear that happiness arises from what we have in our hearts and minds, not what we have in our pocketbooks or our blood stream, and especially not what we get out of bottles drug, liquor or any other containers.

December ia oH to a lusty start. Retail sales are moving to new peaks and employment is high. Iliese factors will have strong influences on others in business, including production, corporate profits, personal income. They will not, however, help construction, including home building, and December savings may diminish.

Earlier predictions that December would produce the largest sales totals in history look better than ever.

And while retail sales soar, especially in the department and specialty store fields, automobile sales will continue below year-ago levels. The recent call-backs of certain models, heavily publicized under new auto-safety law provisions, have created a feeling of uneasiness. No one has got over to the public the fact that

some bugs turn up every year and that manufacturers as a matter of good business regularly make adjustments.

A CASE IN POINT For example, back in the Thirties a new car I bought had an unsatisfactory braking

system. The manufacturer replaced it free.

But the excitement over unsafe cars, and the battle over new legislation, plus the publicity given to call-backs, has given many people the idea that autos are less safe, whereas the 1967 models are

probably the safest cara ever put on the American market Ungrounded fear is not the only factor bolding back sales. In the past, auto sales tended to rise one year and dip the next. But we have just finished two of the biggest <sales years ever, and a dip is not unlikely. People with one- or two-year-old cars dont buy many new ones.

Even wihout extraordinary new-car sales, consumer indebtedness seems on the way to another new peak. And while it probably will not go over $100 bUlion, it will be close enough to cause many economists and commentators to show great conoem.

CHEAPER COLOR TV There may be a broad break in color television receiver prices before Christmas. Admiral has cut fixed prices on 18 models in the New York area and other makers are

acting to meet competition,* as several said. This competition is likely to spread to other marketing areas. While there may not be a price wai^ color TV sets may be priced down into many more families* budgets.

The $1.1 billkm cut in highway construction ordered by President Johnson win not have modi effect in December. It will not affect projects for which contracta have already been signed, and'contracts are usually aignad three to six montba In advance, sometimes longer.

Effects will not be felt until sometimes next year, when they will be pronounced. In addition to the direct affect on road-building projecta, the cutback will affect the jvoduct-ion and sale of roMunlldlng equipment, concrete and other materials, and employment.

Meanwhile, in December all signs for bustneea ve fa.
