Moving To Meet Traffic Problem

It is arood to learn that bids will be received next month on the four-laning of Greenville Boulevard from Memorial Drive to Elm Street.

This much needed project will help alleviate what is already becoming a major traffic problem. It is also clear that as tie areas on each side of Greenville Boulevard build up, traffic problems will become even more acute.

The thoroughfare will also serve to bring traf*. fic into the Ficklen Stadium-Minges Coliseum area. Access to this area is going to become more and

hducation ?olitical Role

By WILLIAM A. SIRES

Reflector Raleigh Burean

RALEIGH Requests for public educatim enrichment and unprovement have come to play a role of increasing importance is statewide political campaigns in North Carolina, and no candidate for governor overlodcs them.

It had earlier beginnings politically it dates back to 1960 when Terry Sanford ran and wona platform of upgrading education.

WrXlABI

8H1RE8

A saliept point In Sanfords gubernatorial campaign was his endorsement and backing the proposals by the United Forces for Edcation (UFE) idiich, at the time, was a newly organzied and loosely coordinateid group of organizations already committed to Sanfords idea for enriching the public school system. In some quarters, UFE was regarded as a Sanford-sponsored organizaticm. Its base is the North Carolina Education Association ( N C EA) but also includes a do-sen other groups.

NCEA Was Slapped NCE.A was slapped. The organization (UFE) was spotlighted and prominent in the 1960 gubernatorial campaign which Sanford won. It came forth with proposals and goals again in 1964.

This time NCEA and its officials were slaf^ed for favoring and giving aid to a chosen candidate, L. Richardson Preyer, and the stigma of political favoritism stuck. Sanford won on a pro-education platform, but Preyer was defeated in a second primary.

The subsequent result was that the new state administration, that of Gov. Dan Moore, recommended and won the largest appropriations for pubUc education in state history.

Not Choosing This time the United For-cs (UFE) will not choose nor endorse a candidate for governor.

They do not need to. A lesson has been learned. Political candidates in North Carolina will attach priority to educational enrichment and goals and these automatically become politically expedient.

Endorsement of a particular candidate isnt necessary nor required and it is now omitted.

The fact is that both principals in the Democratic primary Lt. Gov. Bob Scott and J. Melville Broughttm Jr. have come close to endorsing the UFEs 19^71 goals. There is no real choice and as yet UFE does not attempt to make one.

Three Points Program

UFE decided to hi^k with tradition this year. In tlto past UFE has i^sented a program with as many as 12 points for educational enrichment. Ibis time, it came out with a simple three*points legislative program calling for increased teacher sslaries, summer anrichment programs and allotment of additional personnel in tiie public teacher field. Overall, the three points {ffogram would cost approximate $300 million per biennium.

At present, each guber-nahnial candidate is attempting to come to gripe wifh the UiFE proposals. Whether w not they can be met, they are nonetheless vp-ryi mportant politically.

Visit exposes Groups of state legislators are visiting campuses of newly created region 1 universities at Greenville, Boone and Cullowhee.

Pdntedly, perhaps, the campus of A&T university in Greensboro is being omitted. The Greensboro campus, predominantly Negro, was added to the regional universities bill almost as an afterthought but at the insistence of Guilford legislat(. Many observers felt the amendment was actually an attempt to defeat the regional universities bill. The inclusion of A&T was of^osed on grounds that this institution was in in the same city as another campus of the consolidated university UNGGreensbo-ro. This in itself presented problem because UNC-G was formerly Womans College and was the last of the UNC branches that state legislators were willing to see integrated.

Several sessions of the legislature were required before it was agreed to admit male students at Greensbwo. UNGG is still regarded as IH*imarily a womans school.

Visit Boone At Boone, groups of 40 or more legislators and former members of the General AssemWy met with ASU officials, trustees and others for A first hand view* of construction projects.

more important as time goes on.

It is likely that the Memorial Drive-Greenville Boulevard route will develop as an intra-city four lane thoroughfare in future years. It is already apparent that eventually the Highway Commission is going to have to plan another limited access bypass beltline to cairy high speed traffic around Greenville. Until this is done, the heavy load of traffic coming through Greenville will be channeled on Memorial Drive and Greenville Boulevard and this latest four laning project can only help the situation.

There will, of course, be much inconvenience to motoriste while the road construction is underway and this will call for care by drivers who use the route every day. The inconvenience will be well worth the ultimate benefits, however, and we are happy to see the project got underway.

On The Right Track To Encourage Tourists

North Carolina has awarded contracts for construction of welcome centers on Interstate highways 85 and 95 near the Virginia line.

The 2,800 square feet of floor space in each center will be used mostly for a reception area where the visitor entering the state can find travel literature, weather information and other facts.

The centers will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily year round, with even longer hours during peak travel months.

North Carolina is on the right track in constructing travel centers which will cater to the tourists entering our state.

With our mountains to the west and the long unique coastline to the east, this state has a tourist potential which few can match.

It is such moves as this that will develop tourism in North Carolina.

Poll Is Awaitec. 3y Rockefeller

By ROWLAND EVANS and ROBERT NOVAK

COLUMBUS, Ohio - A secret poll to be taken by the Ohio Republican party early in June just after the May 28 Oregon Presidential primary may turn out to be Gov. Nelson Rockefellers best hope for the Republican Presidential nomination.

If Rockefeller runs markedly better than Nixon in that survey, it likely will give him most of Ohios 58 delegates and perhaps irreversible momentum for his President i a 1 hopes. Indeed, Ohio, traditional bastion of Republican conservatism, is ironically t h e main reason why the nomination cannot quite be wrapped up yet for Richard M. Nixon.

Flamboyant Gov. Jam e s A. Rhodes, Ohios all - time chan^km vote - getter, and John Andrews, the partys bright young state chairman, are determined to nominate a mimer this time. And neither they nor other O^iio leaders were convinced by Nixons uncontested sweep in New Han^shire that he is that winner.

Rather, they are inclined to Rockefeller while keeping resolutely uncommitted (with Rhodes declining an invitation to RocAefelters March 10 sununit meeting in New York) until at least July. Moreover, their pro- Rockefeller inclinations a(e backed up by polls. Contrary, to the cliche that this Midwes: e r n heartland is Nixon country, the most recent survey by the state party shows both Rockefeller and Nixon edging President Johns(Hi with Rockefeller running slightly stronger.

But party leaders here are interested in more than just beating Mr. Johnson. They want somebody atop the ticket to pull in state and local candidates. And, again contrary to cliche, the most recent poll shows lesser candidates in C^io running up to 5 percentage points better with Rockefeller on the ticket than

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS IMPORTANCE OF ORATORY The orator has had profound effect on the acts of men through the ages, yet oratory is almost a lost art today. Our lives are given over to TV commercials, to moving picture scripts, to endless columns written alleged authorities and placid at our disposal in the daily paper.

But how about the individual who from ancient times has stirred the multitude? Think of the pro(^ets of Israel who in spite of the fact that they were often rebuked nevertheless have a profound effect upon the life of their hearers whether these hearers agreed or disagreed with the message.

Daniel Webster spoke for some hours in his reply to Hayne. Abraham Lincoln in a few words spoken at Gettysburg set a standard for or

atorical excellence that has probably never been surpassed. Many of us heard Woodrow Wilson in the days of his p<Mer, and the excellency of his speech was something never to be forgotten.

It is a wonderful thing that the utterances of world leaders can be brought into our homes day after day by radio and television, but one would have to look a long time to find a real orator in political or church life today. Mars Hill and the association it had with the career of St. Paul remain a solid historical fact that has had its effect on human thought and behavior.

Let us try to do something to revive the ancient art of oratory. There are latent orators round about us. some perhaps in our homes.

Oratory Js a factor of real value in human life, and we should strive to make it work.

with Nixon.

(Consequently, Ohios traditional role at national party conventions as guardian of Republican orthodoxy is be i n g transformed to champion of political pragmatism a change understandable o n ly against the backdrop of the last four years.

In 1964, Rhodes was a state party leader in name on 1 y. Some 47 of the states 58 delegates were committed in advance to Barry (3oldwater no matter what Jim Rhodes had to say about it. Bowing to the inevitable, Rhodes bac k e d Goldwater at San Francisco. The dismal result in November was Goldwater carry i n g only five of Ohios 88 counties and scores of Republican candidates perishing in his wake.

The p^ty bounced back in 1966 behind Rhodess landslide reelectiwi victory and iimnediately began wor king against a recurrence even faintly reminiscent of 1964.

The first step was guarding against another infiltration of the delegati(xi in behalf of one candidate. State chair man Andrews, fully backed by Rhodes, permitted only delegates not opposed in advance to any single candidate for President automtica 11 y excluding confirmed Rockefeller - haters. The remarkable result is that of 58 regular party delegates only 17 were on the 1964 delegation (and more than half ri those are statewide at-large delega t e s picked because of their office).

The main challenger to the Rhodes - Andrew doctrine is Rep. John Asbbrook, a young doctrinaire conservative and loner in Ohio politics who is opposing tile two regular party delegates from his district in the May 7 primary. Despite opposition from Andrewss state committee, Ashbrook is eiqiected to win and go to Misoni Beach pledged in advance against Rodtefeller.

Besides Asbbrook, another new iH'eed rightwinger Rep.

The Heart Of The Issue

WASHINGTON - There is now a lively debate going on in merkcal circles concerning the moral aspects of heart transplants. Since there will be a Portage of donors and a large demand ior hearts in the future, great decisions will have to be made as to who will be entitled to a new heart.

Amoi^ those working on the problem is my good friid, Dr. Heinrich Apple-baum.

The doctor told me: I think what will be needed is an International Heart Transplant Authority that will have

the final decision on all heart questions.

Wliere would you locate the authority? I asked.

Hartford. Conn.. he replied.

But thats not spelled the same way, 1 saW.

Nobody would have to know that, he replied.

"What would tie IHTA do? I asked him.

The authority would have to decide many heart-rending questions. For example, if you had a world leader who was a hard-hearted person, would you give him a soft heart in hopes he would

Other E(ditors Saying Living Like Brothers

change his thinking, or would you find a warm-hearted person to replace him?

I nave heard it said that there are some world leaders can they get by? I inquired, who have no heart How can they get by? I inquired.

Everyone has a heart. Appiebaum said. Some people have hearts of stone, others have hearts of steel, and still others have heavy hearts, but we in the medical profession refuse to believe that anyone is completely without hcrt.

(Christian Science Monitor)

The House of Representatives should now follow the Senate's example airi pass a civil-rights bill which includes an open housing provision. In passing its bill, which strikes at racial barriers in some 80 percent of the nations housing, the Senate listened to tiie demand and the need of the times. The House should do likewise.

It is now unarguable that there will be no true, lastii^ answer to racial problems in the United States so long as millions of Negroes either through poverty or discrimination cannot find better housing. A freer choice of housing will not, of course, alone work wonctors. Much else remains to be done everybodys part But the ability to buy or occupy better housing on the iMsis of one's capacity to pay will relieve one of the pressures on the nonwhite population and will give it a greater sense of belonging and of being wanted. And it is this sense, which if an essence of lnt>-therhood, which will make

perhaps the greatest contribution to resolving racial tensions.

Not even the most sanguine observer predicts or believes tiiat open housing provisions, whether federal or local, will early change the housing pattern in the United States. It has long been pointed out that bousing in suburban areas will become available only as the nonwhite population improves its economic position. As of now, there is only a tiny propcsr-tion of that population which could easily move from urban ctmcentrations to the greater pleasantness of suburban living.

But it is crucially important that the Negro, as an American citizen and a Im-man being, feel that be has the right to go where his poc-ketbook and his choice take him. Today this right has become a conscious touchstone of full acceptance into the oppOTtunities and obligations of American society. This right is coming, however, slowly, in both schooling and work opportunity. It must also come in housing.

"Btfort heart transplants, Appiebaum continued, the average person bad many misconceptions about the heart, and we in authority are going to work to educate people as to the trutii of the hearts functions.

What do you mean? 1 asked.

WeU, I believe that the poets and song writers have given the heart many roles it is not entitled to. For example, how many times have you beard that one person Broke another peons heart? Now, this is not medicaUy possihle. There is a song with the lyrics *You took my heart and threw it away. This is possible, but its also wasteful, particularly whan we are so riiort of hearts.

**What about the song My Heart Cries for You*? Can a heart cry for aemebody?*

If something is heartrending enough it probably can. But the International Heart Transplant Authority (Coatinned On Page S)

Steadily Rising Prices In 1968

By ELMER ROESSNER The drum fire of price rises will continue through the year. It will get faster as the year goes on.

There will be a new spiral of prices to meet the higher wage settlements certain to come from the current strikes in copper, glass, moving. There will be another spiral when settlements are made on the coming demands of steel, telephone, maritime, aluminum, clothing, electrical and* other workers.

There will be still more spirals when railroads get another raise in freight rates, which the Interstate Commerce Commission has permilt e d them to file for, and when the airlines get thetr next fare boost, which they are now planning to ask^

And me biggest spiral of all

will come when corporal i wis raise prices in an effort to maintain profits after the next tax rise, which Is sure to come.

No matter what you read elsewhere, a substantial tax incregae is certain. The government must increase taxes to defend the dollar, to win the war in Vietnam, and to meet the rising :lamor for more and more welfare.

Painful though a tax increase wil Ibe, since it will both skim off incc^e and in-crtise prjcM, tha alteniftlve would ache even more.
