In spite of the protests which have been raised to the proposed investigation, there is growing support for the idea whose merits far outweight any shortcomings it might have.

We trust the" CAB will give consideration to the question of the proposed investigation at the earliest possible moment, and that it will order the investigation in the interest of the entire area and its fut?ure.

GROCERIES This will come as a shock to Lewis P. runn but perhaps a si^al to hurry up the promoting of home-grown North Carolina food products.

Theyre selling borscht at 45 cents a quart down at the supermarket.

Also, in case you havent looked lately, they have champagne, tinna pepitas and fried agave worms.

These fancy items are at least an indication that todays grocery shopper is willing to try something newand that's Mr. Dunn's busbies':. Hes the new-b-appobited chief of the food processing sect-on in the state Commerce and Industry division.

Its Dunns job to get togeth er infomiation on what new food products and vriieties might derived frrm agriculture, processed in North Carolina plants a^d pronio.ed and sold in the "rocery markets at home and abroad.

CHANGE Theres certain ly a change in grocery store shopping brought about by development of the modem sper-maiicet. It used to be that you went to the grocery store for the old standbys to the way of groceries and staples, and that was It.

But today the variety of food Rems Is almost endless, and the supermarkets feature something ^ncw and different almost every week. And a good portion of the housewifes budget at the supermarket goes for non-food Items, too. so it isn't surpristog that they experiment with a line of delicacies and specialty items.

You can buy magazines, encyclopedias. toys _and out-of-town newspapers, chlira, glassware. rose bushes, fertilizer, hedge-clippers and garden hose, socks, shirts, light switches, putty, nails and fishing tackle, beer wtaes and party snacks so delicacies had to be next.

EXOTIC About the only thing n<^ available to tl way of food Items had been those exotic dishes tasted every year at the Explorers Qub banquets, and now theyre here along with mocha coffee.

No longer does one have to be content with a fancy restaurant to New Yoilt. or search to the delicatessen for something they have read aboutIts available at the supermarket, and In North Carolina.

The more cosmopolitan tried to take it casually, but there were plenty of second looks the other day when a new supermarket opened to Raleigh con

taining a veritable gold mine for gourmfts.

There were rich cheeses and tiny sausages, ming teas from Taiwan, Chocolate petlts fours from Paris, shortbreak cakes from Scotland and smoked frog legs from Japan.

There were hearts of palm from Brazil, natural aiails in tins or jars from FYance, truffled liver pastes, pumpernickel from Germany and sliced mangoes from India.

And the really exotic items were those fried agave worms from Mexico, the tinned pepitas t pumpkin seeds', and fried grpsThoppers and roasted caterpillars.

SEAFOODS The shelves were stocked plentifully with tijned seafoods, meats and fish products, roe and caviar, wild rice and spices, crab meats, .srrdines herring from Por-t'"pl. the Orient and Scandinavia.

Ba'ck at C&D. there has been corccm about the states seafood and" seafood processing industries. and all this was enough to make Mr. Dunn and other officials wonder about selling North Carolina clams and crabs, peaches and pickles in Paris or Bonn, and whether it could be done with the Common Mr'et and all.

Then came a bombshell from a well-known North Carolina editor w'hd is fond of succulent white North Carolina crab meat which is processed at several points on the Tar Heel coast. The editor noted that it cant be found in Greensboro, and presumably isnt available often In other population centers of the state, and wonders If theres something wrong with the marketing system?

WONDER There are. in the supermarkets. North Carolina hams alongside those from Georgia and Virginia. North Carolina peanuts, peaches, produce, chlpkens. pickles and relish, eggs, dairy products, and the state is well represented to many of the lines.

So the picture isn't dark by any means, and actually the delicacies are merely a challenge to what Is referred to to the C&D offices as Tar Heel ingenuity.

Those fried grasshoppers and roasted caterpillars arent going to get much of the market, and their potential is far less than that tasty crab meat from Belhaven or Beaufort. Or, for that matter, the peanut pie that comes to a ready mix.

Pretty soon it should all be available doun at the supermarket and they give trading stamps too.

Long Budget-Making PTocess Is Underway By patricia moore

Budget-making in North Carolina is a long and tedious process which may appear cumbersome, but at the same time provides the state with a careful evaluatioH of the needs of its agencies and institutions. _

It will be almost a year from now when the legislature finally gets around to adopting the budget under which the state will operate for the fiscal years of 1963-64 and 1964-65. Already, however, months of study have gone into the preparation of budget requests Avhich will go to the legislature.

The Advisory Budget Commission, the most influential body in North Cardlina when it comes to appropriations, has begun its biennial tour of the states agencies and institutions to review with officials building needs for the coming tw-e-yeal* period.

This tour, while it is time consuming, provides the six members of. the Advisory Budget Commission a first-hand view of the states agencies and institutions. It gives them an opportunity to evaluate needs not only from the standpoint of figures and statistics set forth on paper, but also from the standpoint of actually seeing the physical plants of institutions and agencies.

.Nfot The Sole Answer

The foUowtog is a fairly accurate report of a conversation heard to one of Pitt Countys more progressive small towns: Man no. one: What this

town needs is a lot of pretty girls.

Man no. two: Yeah.

Man no. one: Think what that would mean to this town. Man no. two: Yeah. (eyes get big and happy looking.)

Man no. one: It would really start things booming. All kinds of things would be happening here.

Man no. two: Yeah. Indus-ti-y. activity, all kinds of things.

Man no. one: Well, what do you really think would happen? Man no. two: Things would

be happening, thats for sure. But...yeah, maybe It wouldnt work out after all.

So, we take it that even though people like to have pretty girls around, they may not be the sole answer for bringing industry, activity and a healthy community. Well, it was just a report we were presenting.

Our better half had the same thought.

And, to a nutshell, that was the agony of the tobacco loss some farmers have suffered this year.

On a weekend outing, we were noticing fields of tobacco, some pretty, some sick. Wed been looking for several miles.

We were passing a routine-looking field with some kind of green things growing, but didnt pay any particular attention to it...at first. Then we realized suddenly that It was (in the past tense) tobacco.

O

ner

There can be no doubt that this tour of the -j. j

Advisory Budget Commission plays an important JNJ O OSltlVF^

role in their recommendations that are made to the woilj. v

legislature. It affords them a considerably broader scope of information on each of the agencies and institutions than they would have just from the budget requests presented.

WASHINGTON (AP) - None of the luster has been rubbed off the memory of Sam Ray-bum by his successor as speaks er of the the lanky John

W. McCormack of Massachusetts.

The 70-year-old New Englander is a pale figure compared with Rayburn, a Texan- who. when he died last year at 79. had become the patriarch of the House Democrats.

Raybum became speaker in 1940. Betw'een then and the time he died McCormack had been his right-hand man as majority leader or Democratic whip.

Rayburn went home sick in 19(il before the Democratic-run House had finished its work for the year, leaving McCormack to charge. When the session was over McCormack spoke proudly of its record.

He cant do the same so far this year, although he has been top man for the beginning and Democrats heavily outnumber Republicans.

McCormack may get an A for trying but not for performance.

The simple fact is he was never as colorful as Raybum. Isnt now. and probably couldnt be or want to try to be. He has none of Rayburns dramatics or his .sense of dramatics.

What counts more politically Is what kind of captain soothsayer, and magician has he been in gettir.g his Democratic administrations programs thmnrh?

He hasnt been particularly distinguished to any of those three categoi es. Take the soothsayers role first.

Relations between Hou.w and Senate are not as good as when Raybum was speaker and fellow Texan L.yndon B. Johnson, now vice president, was Senate Democratic leader. Sen. Mike Mansfield of Montana is Johnson's successor.

Twice within a year the House, witli McCormack in charge, has jfiended the Senate. At the end of last year, at the very end. the House passed an appropriations bill, sent it to the Senate on a take-it-or-leave-it basic and quit for 1961.

Mansfield didn't mention McCormack by name 'he didn' have to) when he told his fel-low-senators: It Is outrageous We have to swallow It. But I think it is a poor sign of the comity which should exist between the two bodies.

This week the House Appro priations Committee passed a resolution which, to effect, ac

cused the Senate of being responsible for two-thirds of the $32 billion added to the national debt to the past 20 years.

The senators could, and did, take this as meaning they were being called wasteful spenders. Sen. A. Willis Robeitson. D-Pa.. called it deliberately insulting.

Raybum had worked hard to keep relations between the two bodies cool. If he had been around he might have been able to prevent both pokes to the Senates eye.

The second poke was the product of a dispute going on for three months between the House and Senate Appropriations committees which handle a prestige clash. Government employes who had their pay held up a while because of It may call it something else.

The House committee demands that, w'hen it meets with the Senate committee to discuss money, half the meeting be held on the House side of the Capitol with a House member presiding at half the meetings. It goes on and pn.

Nor is McConnack likely to get any special decorations as a captain this year. The House killed both President Kennedys farm bill and his plan for a new department of urban affairs and housing. The farm bill slaughter w^as a shocker to the admintotraton.

The Republicans, w'ith one exception. voted against it. The )cmocrats had plenty of votes to beat them. But 28 Democrats joined the Republicans to demolish the bill. 21.5 to 205. Some Democrats, as Kennedy complained. have been splitting off for "ears to vote with Republicans.

But its to this smoky field of drifting Democrats where Democratic leadership has to prove Itself,

Theres been nothing magical about the response of House Democrats to Kennedys programs. A lot of those programs are bottled up In House committees and may never get out this year for a vote.

(Henderson Dispatch)

People who keep the vast American tobacco industry on the move are as anxious for business as .any one, but they are not wilUng deliberately to sacrifice the public health to fatten their own purse. In addition to other agencies making studies of the relation, if any, between smoking * and health, particularly lung cancer, tobacco companies have established a research organization of their own. Some of the best experts in medical science have been employed to carry on the program, and have been charged with the necessity of arriving at unbiased conclusions, whichever way the pendulum may gwing.

Dr. Clarence Cook Little is director of the Tobacco Industry Research Committee. Speaking at the Burley Auction Warehouse Association annual convention in Lexington, Ky., the other day. he said the case against tobacco use from the standpoint of specific disease causation is exactly where it was eight years ago when the initial charges were made against cigarettes on the sole basis of statistical association. He flatly declared that no experimental or pathological evidence has been adduced linking tobacco use wdth lung cancer. There Is not going to be any great calamity In the tobacco industry because there is no evidence to cause such a calamity^ Dr. Little said.

He asserted that intensive efforts to Induce lung cancer in animals by having them Inhale tobacco smoke have failed, even through cancer can be Induced in some animals by other causative agents. Not one ca.se has resulted, even though the ani

mals have been exposed to 'tobacco smoke in much greater quantities than a heavy smoker would be, the medical scientist told delegates.

It was an encouraging report the doctor gave, but there were also other optimistic assurances at the hurley gathering. Frank "V. Snodgrass, vice-president and managing director of the Burley and Dark Leaf Tobacco Export Association, said the American blended cigarette is the cigarette of the future, and entrance of the United Kingdom into the Common Market will spur this shift in cigarette use Is expanding throughout the world at an an-nuEd rate of five per cent.

So far as health is concerned. we would certainly be among the last to encourage use of a luxury which could undermine the health of the nation. Not only amopg the last; we just wouldnt be there at all.

But it has always seemed to us that those w'ho are anxious to proclaim their theories as to a possible health menace should be willtog to look also on the other side of the coin. Moreover, the public ought not to be led down a blind alley without po.sitive proof of statements made.

Even granting the food faith of those who lean to the cancer idea, it appears that they re.st much of their argument on. the basis of statistics. But there should be more than mere figures if there be sound reason for claims that are made.

It was a reassuring outlook the burley group received from their speakers. We cannot believe that what they were told was from the standpoint of bias and prejudice, but rather from facts as they appear.

Since everyone else has been paying tributes and writing about William Faulkner, we would like to present one of our favorite passages here, something we noticed some years ago In one of Faulkners stories called The Bear.

This passage concerns a universal thought about land owm-ershlp, origin of the land and God; and mans relationship to the land he was put on:

...He made the earth first and peopled it with dumb creatures, and then He created man to be His overseer on the earth and to hold suzerainty over the earth and the animals on it In His name, not to hold for himself and his desbendants inviolable title forever, generation after generation, to the oblongs and squares of the earth, but to hold the earth mutual and intact In the communal anonymity of brotherhood, and all the fee He asked was pity and humility and sufferance and endurance and the sweat df his face for bread...

It is not enough that we give European countries military and economic aid, but some of them arrange their laws to damage American firms by encouraging the stealing of the results ol American ingenuity and competence. This has long been true in the drug business in which Americans spend hundreds of millions ci dollars in research only to find that European firms, mostly Italian, steal their products.

These thefts have been encouraged indirectly by the Pen-tagMi which purchases these stolen products. The Italians can, of course, .be the lowest bidders, because they have no cost of research and development; their own cost for obtaining the drugs being the corruption of American employees who do the actual stealing for the Italians and the microfilm on which the results of research are photographed.

The American Cyanamld Company, one of Americas foremost chemical enterprises and the owner of the Lcderle Laboratories, has gone Into court to a suit against Sidney Martin Pox, a former employee, and his company, Kim Laboratories, Inc., obtaining an injunction against Pox and his associates, who, they claimed, conspired with (rfher employees to divulge confidential information to the conspirators relating to the production of antibiotics and steriods, and that they did use this confidential information belonging to the plaintiff in the development, research. Improvement and manufacture of pharmaceuticals, selling them to pharmaceutical com-panles< .

The theft of cultures and documents was disposed by other employees who swore to affidavits. There ought to be a law about industrial and scientific espionage to make both punishable by a death sentence to discourage further attempts.

The Injunction signed by Justice Arthur Markewich states:

It is also demonstrated that the defendants are continuing with foreign firms through the activities of defendant Pox and other conspirators..The power of the court to redress a wrong by civil and provisional remedy Is not shackled by a plea of prejudice with respect to pending proceedings arising out of resort to the Pifth Amendment

Between 196d and 1961 Italian pharmaceutical companies were manufacturing and selling large quantities of broad spectrum anti-biotic drugs. This surprised American manufacturers because it takes many years of research to learn how to make these drugs and requires a large staff of doctors, chemists, biologists, pharmacologists to work on the projects and runs Into costs amounting to many millions of dollars.

It is usually known In a technical Industry when work is being done. It was known that tjo research of this nature was being dMie In Italy. When purchases were made to Italy by the American Government, the American Cyanamld Company took a look-see.

In an affidavit, Walt R. Mansfield says:

...the loss in sales to the United States Government alone amounted to more than $4,000,-(Continued on Page 5)

ITS OUR RESPONSIBILITY

Let us be assured that we are here In this world for a purpose. Nothing to Gods scheme of things happens by accident. We may disarrange Gods plans for us and for the world. We may trust aside the gracious offers He makes us. We may tura our backs upon Him and walk in the opposite direction. But when we do these things we do not defeat Gods plans. We only delay the working out of these plans; we only make it necessary for God to try another approach.

Everyone of us is an eternal destiny not just has an eternal destiny but is one himself. These lives of ours are little points of existence which God

has caused to be incorporated in bodies in order that a great scheme which He has in mind and about wbjch we know very little may be consummated. We did not originate this scheme. Ninety-five per cent of our lives are the result of Gods plan before we were born and the working out of His plan since that time. He leaves us a comparatively few things to do compared with the multitude of things He has done, for us, to us, and in our behalf.

We have a trust to keep. We have a ^estiny to fulfill. This destiny may not be great in the eyes of the world, but it is great in Gods eyes. It is a thing of eternal significance. It Is a precious trust we have to keep a stewardship to fulfill.

Stock Boom If Income Tax Cut

Quote

"Representative government In the United States Ls in danger of being replaced by a dictatorship, the dictatorship of too many federal dollars 03 billion of them.Charie.y B. Shuman, president of American Farm Bureau Federation.

By ELMER ROESSNER terms most frequently discuss-

A Federal income tax cut cd, would mean $8 billion more

would jet the stock niarkct Jn.tP......in

the wild purple yonder.

The United States Chamber of Commerce and many corporation spokesmen are urging a tax cut. with special attention to corporate and upper-bracket levies, The AFL-CIO is also demanding a tax cut, with special attention to rates on those In lower income brackets. President Kennedy has said that the Administration is planning to propose a tax cut next year, but conceded that it was closely watching the need for one this year.

And if It should come, this year or next, watch stock prices take off.

There are three reasons to expect this. They are:

1. A tax cut would be infla

tionary and ,jstocks are one of the best hedges against inflation.

The last fiscal year ended with an $8 billion dificHy Without a tax cut, the current fiscal year,

.started July I, will run up a

similar deficit. A tax cut, In

This would be a total of $16 billion more spending than income. The U. S. would be using $16 billion more in credit instead of cash to pay its bills. That would be a 'direct inflation of the monetary system of $16 billion.

It would be a $16 billion levy on those least able to protest pensioners, annuitants. Savers and future generations. It would diminish the value of the dollar even further.

But since common stocks to sound companies tend to rise as the value of the dollar declines, there would be a rush by investors to take their money out of static investments, such as bonds and savtogs, and put them into common stocks. MORE EARNINGS,

MORE DIVIDENDS

2. A cut In corporation taxe.s would increase corporation eaniings, hence corporation dividends. This would make common stocks much more attrac

tive to investors.

3. A cut to personal income irm pmre- money for investment to the stock ex-chaaige.

The theory behind the proposal for a cut in income taxes Is that with less taxes to pay, the common people will buy more Comets, more Grape Nuts, more Dior-New York gowns, more Piper"Cubs, more Hormel hams and more of just about every kind of consumer product.

In the past, sudden increases of income have often resulted to increases to spending. However. sometimes such as during the recovery that started late last year people tend to save a large part of their added Income. And a popular way to save is to put money Into stocks, mutual funds or other investments tending to push stock prices up.

Therefore, a cut in Income taxes would exert a three-way pressure on the ^tock market.-people would bid up the pric-es of stocks to an effort to hedge against the new wave of infla

tion; stocks would become more attractive because of higher di-^vidend'ratesv'isffid

, higher personal income would be tempted to play the market.

CALIFORNIA S&L RATES NOW AT 4.8 PER CENT Speaking of savtogs, some savings and loan associations are now advertising in the East offering 4.8 per cent on deposits. Makes one wonder what poor Californians needing a house have to pay savings and loan associations for mortgages.

TODAYS UTTERLY RIDICUI^US IDEA

A scattering of United State, unions are reported to have taken action denouncing the Saskatchewan doctors who refuse to practice under the compulsory health insurance plan there.

This union action Is Interesting. Since the Canadian plan in effect puts a ceiling on pay rates, perhaps these unions are ready to submit to government^ ceilings on their own pay rates.
