iramc Jriow is 3eing Studiec.

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES STUDY A study is being made of North Carolinas east-west highway traffic flow and patterns and Raleigh, litersdly, Is in the middle of it.

Being the state ciU)ital, Raleigh Is a city which is close to all North Carolinians. Every Tar Heel may feel and rightly 80 that he owns a part of the capital city, and that its problems in a way are those of the state.

Raleigh Is In the middle of the current highway traffic study for another reason it Is at the end of the U. S. 2^70 trans-Piedmont crescent which carries the greatest volume of east-west traffic across the state.

And tr this crescent Is extended east to the coast. Raleigh stands as a big Ix^eneck In the middle.

APPARENT It already Is apparent that (Hie of the conclusion^ which must be reached in the study by the highway departinent is what to do about . S. 70.

Several years ago, even a mere few months ago. the principal U. S. 70 bottlenecks were those stretches of inadequate highway between Greensboro and Durham.

These now have been Improved and brought up to modem standards. One stretch of Interstate 85 now bypassing the formerly (KMigested . S. 70 route in the Hillsboro-Durham area is regarded as the most modem, up-to-date road of its type In the state.

This swings around Durham, tying Into roads to Durham, to the Chapel Hill area and to Oxford and into the . S. 70 segment known as the Raleigh-Durham highway.

Less than a decade ago the Raleigb-Durhsmi highway was considered a model, four-lane divided highway. It now is considered outmoded, d^riorating and almost inadequate in comparison with the newer interstate roads.

PROBLEM R will be some months before the traffic data now being assembled on east-west traffic is analyzed and a report made, and the U.S. 70-Ralelgh area will be only a part of the overall pi<rture. ^ Nothing is being said officially. Privately the thinking is that the Raleigh area will present the most difficult traffic problem of any encountered in the state.

One factor giving rise to this Raleigh area problem is that the capital city was left off the

Interstate ^ highway system, without 90-10 interstate highway financing, Raleigh area projects are very costly to the state.

And without interstate projects, Raleigh has fallen behind in meeting the increasing traffic needs in the area thus becoming the bottleneck in comparison to other cities In the cresent.

A decade ago Raleigh enjoyed an excellent traffic situation in relation to problems entangling a number of other larger cities in North Carolina. Growth has changed that situation and what projects have been approved for the Raleigh area have not kept pace.

There have been several major projects In the Raleigh area and a number of other improvements are either being made or are on the drawing boards. Engineers admit these have been piecemeal.

There is a Raleigh belt-line under construction, but this is far from being completed. It is presently aimed at a north-south connection rather than east-west. The east-west link will come later, probably several years in the future.

The citys suburban growth already has leapfrogged the belt-line sections. This has resulted in increased costs, construction problems and delays.

The citys interior thoroughfares lead nowhere in relation to maximum traffic flow most tie in with older streets at right angles in various parts of the city.

The principal mid-town traf-

Despite the bigness of government and its business and despite the fact that it is constantly grow ing larger, there is and will remain for the individual in democratic governmentparticularly at the local levela vital role that entails more than paving the tax bill.

^ By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) - President Kennedy, in his I960 campaign for the White House, told a crowd r I do not say the job will be easy. Hell have been President 18 months Friday. It turns out he was a good prophet.

But. just because he was right in this, he was inaccurate in some of his other 1960 forecasts. For instance, he said:

If the American people give u.s their support at the polls in November, and elect a Democratic administration and a liberal Congress, we will be able to give the countiy the legislation and leadership it so badly needs.

He got hi.s wish: A Congress overwhelmingly Democratic although its debatable that it's liber?!. But one of the toughest, and most cii.'^astrous parts of liw ,iob ha.s been to get this Congres.s to approve the legis-iation he says Is needed.

It killed or sidetracked these major Kennedy prograin.s: Farm, federal aid to education, medical care for llie aged, a new department of urban af-fai' s and hou.'^iug. And it has shot holes in his ideas on tax revisions.

It is mpviiig toward approving his foreign aid program. If it didnt the United States would have to make monumental changes in its foreign policy It has pa 111 V approved his foreign trad bill which Is still umier consideration. Most otlier major items are .stii) b(jttl(d 11.

Although it may have Jieeii overlooked. It wa.s in this IbK cumpaigii ttiat Kennedy let the country in on his plan to keej) and mices down, a plan that he has not yet clearly .stat ed lie scid at that time: Without resorting to the compulsion of vvage or price controls, the President of the United .States mus^ actively use the powers of leadership in pursuit of well-defined goals of price stability. For these pnw ers or reason, .moral v^r-.^ua.rion, and lnform''d pnhlir orlnion. Influenelne df puhllr op-

inlon have by no nidans been &

exhausted to date. '

What he meant in 1960 he put into action in 1962 with the steel price and wage settlement. But this brought him one of his greatest headaches: The businessmen turned sour on him.

In the 1960 campaign he said we are pledged to maintain a balanced budget except in times of natioal emergency or severe recession." But there is no national emergency, his administration does not say there is a severe recession, and the budget is not only not balanced but is not likely to be any time soon.

He told Congress, after taking office in 1961, that the American economy Ls in trouble. It still is. He pointed out then that unemployment in January 1961 was about 5.4 million people. This was 6.6 per cent of the labor force.

It has gone down to about 5.5 per cent of the total labor force, with *4.46 million unemployed in June.

The stock market, which had been staggering around for weeks, took a brief spurt upward a week ago when he liberalized for business a tax allowance of about $1.5 billion on depreciation of machinery and equipment.

But Wedne.sday the market ^suffered one of its wonst declines in months.

During the I960 campaign Kennedy talked a lot about improvement in civil rights, bul the National A.ssociatlon for the Advancement of (^oloix'd People Imsnt been conn)!etelv happ.s with him on what he has done in this field,

Althouoh >e is 1 RAniun Cs*h-ohc, the Catholic Jpadership and the Cat hoi ir pie.ss have Strenuously onposed his pr.)-gram of iederal aid 10 oublic schools, a program which would exclude aid to parochial schools. That program is now-all but dead.

skell, is brought (not against his will) to a deducation that when so much of the government has to go maybe the rest should too.

If Mr. Macmillan were at this moment confronting possible disaster in a national election, his intramural maneuvers at the weekend would not have saved him. These are probably addressed not so much to the voters directly as to the Conservative back - benchers and party workers, to keep them hopefully at political tasks after the August 3 parliamentary recess, despite the string of defeats-or warnings in about a dozen by-elections over the last several months.

The central issues are economic. Domestic austerity-in-pros-perity, the credit squeeze, the perpetual-motlon pay pause w'hich has neither made friends nor much influenced wage trends these are urgent. Once-removed, and hinging on them by a series of subtleties. Is the Common Market question, and suspicions among workers that the government is willing to expose them to corrective stresses via European competition. Sentiment for the Commonwealth

of Nations and regard for British commitments to other Eur- opean nations outside EEC also have. combined to make the Macmillan Europeanism less popular than it was.

The most dramatic and most meaningful change in the Cabinet affects the top Treasury post. Not the new appointment, but the removal of Selwyn Lloyd this is the key consideration. Mr. Lloyd had become a symbol of deflationary policy. The Treasury was under fire for trying to prevent enlarged buying power in the home market from diverting goods from the export effort. But also the budgeting for university and educational expansion Was called penny-pinching.

Mr. Lloyds stressing his politically unappetizing program on the very day the Conservatives were about to lose more ground in the Leicester by-election may have felt like the last straw on Mr. Macmillans back.

Not even the Conservative press gives more than a wait-and-see approval to the coui-a-geous Macmillan move. The changes in personnel may be overdue; will corresponding changes In policy come in time to arrest the flood of voters to the Liberal Party, and to offset the Labor Partys relatively les.s-impaired capacity for holding on to its own voters?

A young Cabinet now appears. But this tends to emphasize the age gaps between Mr. Macmillan and his colleagues. The changes also open the party to two new attacks in by-elections. Results of these will measure the political effectiveness of the new Conservative appeal.

Believe me. In Is not timeless.

India Tarzan

Remember that famous cry that echoed when Tarzan felt like yelling? In this last episode there was one feeble Tarzan yell: and it was cut short by changing reels.

Remember that thrilling sw'lng via vines through the cathedrallike jungle trees? In the whole movie there was about two seconds of vine-swinging in a skimpy-looking cluster of trees.

Tarzan is really in low cotton these days.

Its no wonder he went to India without Jane and his marriage certificate.

have not been able ta control the Reformers whom they bought Into power. They have thus far failed to destroy th Bronx Democratic leader. Char-les Buckley. President Kennedy has made It clear that he prefers Buckley. They permitted the mayor, Robert Wagner to give the impression that he is the Democratic leader of the state and have thus separated him from leadership groups In up-state counties. They have damaged the Influence erf the Keoghs in Brooklyn and have thereby left that enormous Democratic population without the leiuJershlp to which they are accustomed.

To a by-stander, it would almost seem as though they sought to make It possible for Rockefeller to run against nobody and get elected. The normal leadership in the Democratic Party is incensed by the conduct of the Reform Group and is seeking explanations, some of which are obvious in the personal and business relations of the various individuals Involved.

As the young man said to his , lady love, Tempus fuglt and lets go on! There is very little time left before the Democrats must decide on a candidate who can defeat Rockefeller. Such a candidate must have state-wide popularity; he must have a following among old-line Democrats and at the same time be satisfactory to the Liberal Party leader, Alex Rose. He must be satisfactory to Negro and Italian leadership and he must not, in his career, have established a record offensive to Jews. He must appeal to dissatisfied Republicans of which there are many.

This Is the demographic nature of New York State and politics must follow it. The Ken-nedys face an Intricate situation here and It is easy to make a mistake about it. The so-called nice, well-informed'* people can speak for Park and Fifth Avenues, but they do not know Albany or Syracuse or Buffalo any better than they do Brooklyn or Greenwich Village. Nice people are most often wrong In politics because voting is local and by prejudice. To know Adam Clayton Powell is to know only one phase of Harlem where the Black Natlcxial-ists vote as a body.

The old-line politician does not generalize. He has his ear to the ground; he mends fences; he makes deals and kisses ba-(Continued on Page 6)

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS '

SHARING

One of the most Important Christian ideals is the ideal of sharing. What we have we hold not as owners but as stewards. The poet Robert Browning put it in these words:

For I, a man with men am linked

And not a brute with brutes; no gain

That I experience must remain Unshared

We have scant respect for the miser. He gathers about himself his dollars, his check books, his stocks, bonds, mortgages, and cash. Some people look upon him with contempt. Behind his back they joke about his mean spirit and his odd ways. Nobody likes the miser.

Yet many an open minded, back slapping extrovert may b miser In disguise because he selfishly clutches every benefit to his own advantage and cares not at all for others. His wife knows the kind he is. Or to change rthe sex the husband has plenty to put up with. Friends raise their eyebrows when this selfish border of good things is mentioned. He Is blackballed in good clubs. He is universally despised.

Or, maybe he isnt. Then, indeed, he becomes dangerous. H moves among people a dark and sinister shadow. And while some may suspect that there is something the matter with this fellow, they may not exactly be sure what it is. "The person who will not share hinwelf with others is the most dangerous of all.

External Business Materia.

Bv EI.MER ROESSNER

A considerable amount of busiiiess information and data is available to the company executive from newspapers and business magazine columns, trade publications, newsletters, trade association bulletins and Government statistics.

This materia] is external in contnut with the internal company iniomiation. As wa.s pointed out here yesterday, a Kieat deal internal company information is iiuulequate. But so is much of the externar Iniomiation. *

The adequacy of external information yarie... depending on tli(^ researcli .standards, or eani/ation of material and presentation of it. Its ii.sefulnes.s also depends on how the corn pany executive employft it and what information he considers significant.

One principal failure of teniai information is its slow ner^s. Often material an execu live riecds for key decisions is only avai '.le long after the d( rislon should be made. This l.s usually not Inie of internar' iiioirnation, which nianuGcmcnt

controls.

ADMINISTRATION

HAMPERED

A classic example of the importance of quick information was the recent drop in the stock market. Many statistics, particularly those of the various Government departments, are kept current. These include retail activity, bu.sinoss failure.s and so ioith. Other information from non Government' .sources, sueh as car output, is also avail-al.'le irom week to week.

But many economic indicators tak a month or more to beionie available. Examples of . tlx'se arc' the Iron and Steel In.slitutes ivport on wages and saluiies in the steel industry; the national advertising index; pioduction and sales figure's for rrdio and TV sets; shipments of finished .steel, and dozens of others.

As a result, the Administration had to wait weeks to get a picture of how the stock price break wa.s affectin!. the nation This. In turn, held np its de cl.sion.'i on whet remedial mo\i\s :o make As the picture cleared, bit by bit. piecemeal correc

tive action was taken.

This frequently happens to business, too,

External information sources, particularly non-Govem-mental, often have vested interested in the field they cover and sometimes the complete-ne.ss and accuracy of their material is suspect. This is particularly true of trade associations and individual company re.search.

This is not to say that they are dishonest, but they do have a particular viewpoint that can color their reports.

PROPER VSK A Uiird wcaknes.s in external information is misuse of the' inloripytion even though, in itself, it is accurate. Often those making decisions will exaggerate the importance of particular information or use It without understanding Its background or without correlating it with other Information.

A report that sales of sandals rose sharply w'ould be a poor indicator of the state of tlu' iootw(ar industry, let alone flie genrrid economy, unless the season, style changes, what

Jackie Kennedy Is wetrlnf these days, medical reports on arch troubles, and other simllaj factors were In perspective. Then, too. Increased sales of sandals might Indicate a drop in the economy, not a rise, because fewer people could afford shoes.

A fourth problem is th vast amount of information available to business decision makers. Not only does the reliability and Importance of Information vary in itself but it must also be correlated with other sources and kind of information.

A number of Indicators, going up in varying degrees, balanced off against others going down in varying degrees, and all of them different in accuracy and importance, makes the decision makers job tremendously complex.

If a company is to grow and prosper, it is imperative that company officials assess their Information sources and needs, streamline their data processing and constahtly review their iniomiation system in the light of how effective their decisions have been
