Cold War Goes To Main Street

By WILJ.IAM A. SHIRES

SEMINAR The bic iMuiner with red lettering tcrosa the sUft of a downtown Raleigh theater read:

The North Carol Cold War Seminar.

The same title was on the marquee outside.

A new awareness of the cold war and the role that U. S. citisent have in it was being, brought to main street in North Carolina.

It was the first a series (tf seminars sixuisored by the governors recently appointed Educatlmal Council mi National Purposes, and outgrowth of,the-owference on national strategy and goals held a year ago at Ft Bragg.

Programs for the seminar were printed in red, white and blue, wtth a subhead entitled. *a new citizenship program in Americanism vs Communism.*' And the theme expounded was that a free society which is un-informed is vulnerable.

HOMEHVORK The program. arranged by the Educational Council headed by Holt McPherson of High Point, and by the Seminar Committee for Raleigh drew an audience of 350 iMders in business, education end government.

And thrae men and women were urged by the seminar speakers to do their homework in Americanism, to study and be aware of the Communist strategy, its Ideology and doctrine, its propaganda and its techniques. ,

The sptikers for the fast-Paced, daylong progrim were men with solid backgrounds in the cold w, former college professor Priak Rockwell Bsmett, Intemationallv-known author end lecturer on Communist strstc-gy; Charles I. fCbuck> Vetter Jr., lecture- at the Professicmal Training School of the U. S. In-fwmation Agency and Dr. Arthur Larson, director of the worW rule of law center at Duke University.

SPEAK Barnett outlined the subtle, clever technicsl tricks of propaganda which, he said, Invert cause and affect reasoning and count on an imperfect memory on the part of the public.

Such propaganda, he said, may be disseminated not only by Communists, or fcUow-travcl-ers but by anyone who is beguiled Into believing and repeating a specific propaganda theme In a variety of disguises.

One of these, he said, is the

line that the U. S. has ringed the Soviet Union with missile bases, whereas the truth may be found in a correct recollection erf the post-war era of 1945-46, the demobilization of U. S. armed might, mothballing of the fleet, and when, he said, "we beat our swords into plow-shares and television sets* and former U. S, soldiers went to -college on the GI bill.

It was then, he said, that Sta-Un maintained huge armies, engulfed Eastern Europe and Czecb(lovakia and masterminded the worldwide spread of the communist conspiracy.

While the U. S. was conccm-- ed ^ith relief agencies and demobilization. he said, communism was stealing atomic secrets and kidnapping the Ger-man rocket scientists.

TERMS Vetter said the U. S. citizen must understand the vocabulary of communism, and must do homework to stretch the scope of philosophy %nd experience to reach areas of understanding and communicating not only with Russia, but the rest of the world.

For communism, he said, now is a time of ultimate struggle, and that communism is in a posture of conflict.

The Marxist-Leninlst terms of capitalism, imperialism, socialism and communism must be understood if the U. S. citizen is to be Informed.

The Soviet Union, for example, is not now. in Marxist terras, communist. It has not attained that ultimate utopia of swiety, economics and political life which Marx called communism. Instead, the communist world believes that Russia is in the highest plane of socialism, and 9Q years from onmmnni'm.

But, he said, this Ideology snd doctrine is simple and one that is offered to underdeveloped countries, their students and people as a shortcut on the ladder of social development.

This first must be understood to find the flaws, and to counteract it with a positive program of goals and strategy in a free, democratic society, one that- Is highly complex and variable, wltti the greatest capacity and productivity of humankind.

SERIES The seminar programs will be repeated In Charlotte, Asheville and Winston-Salem. There will be the local National purposes groups organized. *nie entire. Raleigh program was filmed and will be used in further conferences and workshops across the state.

It is not pleasant to think of death or injujr/ on the highways as part of a holiday that is sup-posed to be full of fun and relaxation. But we may as well face reality. The odds indicate more accidents during the holiday period than at other periods. With more traffic on the roads, the hazards are increased. With the rush to take full advantage of the holiday, some drivers are less cautious than the occasion demands.

The Labor Day weekend is upon us. The motorized migration is about to begin and with it the traffic hazards increase. Extreme caution is the drivers only protection again being numbered among the statistics when the weekend is over.

' By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) - The greatest Irony in Justice Felix Frankfurters life Is this: At the beginning and end of his career on the Supreme Court an attempt was made to give him a red tinge.

It is irtmlc because this prim and pedantic justice who retired at 79 Wednesday because of Illness went on the court as a hero to liberals and as the years passed increasingly disappointed them with his ctmserva-tism.

His whole life was dedicated to American constitutional and democratic processes but he could be painful. He lectured lawyers before the court, picking nd prunning his way through their arguments.

He wrote opinions endlesidy, when he was with the majority and when he was against it, particularly when he was against it. These opinions w'ere often tough to read and full of hairsplittings.

When President Roosevelt appointed him to the court Jan. 5. 1939, and the Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings on the nomination, extreme rightwingers protested and made the air of the committee room foul with anti-semitism.

K was Mrs, Elizabeth DUling, author of the Red Network. who tried to put the red tag on him. She aaid he had long been (Mie of the principal aides to the Red revolutionary movement in the United States.*

Last May. while Frankfurter was home with the illness which forced his retirement, an extremely conservative Mississippi Democrat, Sen. James 0. Eastland, attacked the Supreme Court in the Senate and said a majority of the court voted in favor of the positions advocated by the Communist Party. He put Frankfurter in the group. Eastlands perforaiance was called a "dlagrace by the assistant T publican leader. Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel of California.

The day after Roosevelt appointed him, to the delight of liberals, the New York Times In a remarkably clairvoyant editorial predicted he would reveal an "organic conservatism.

Walter Hamilton, commenting in the Yale Law Review in 1947 on the mind of the conservative wing of the court, in which he placed Frankfurter, described this particular kind of mind as;

So esoterically judicial that a slight deviation from court procedure often existing only in the mind of the Justice is a mortal sin. .

Hamilton sized up the differ

ences between the courts liberals and conservatives as the difference between the "Acti-visit and iegal approach to cases.

It was the difference between the Let's be cautious a n (1 lets get moving view of jurisprudence as Frankfurter had demonstrated a year before Hamilton wrote his piece.

In 1946 the court refused to tell state legislatures they had to reapportion their membership to give voters in a state fairer representation. Frankfurter, writing the opinion, said the court should not enter this political thicket.

The activists took over In March this year when a majority, brushing aside Frankfurters view of 1946, ruled for the first time that the court had to take a hand in reapportlonment It was a landmark decision but Frankfurter was still against it.

The Kiplinger letter of August 25 may give an insight Into the CAB decision on the regional airport to serve Eastern Carolina. The head on the article is Closing Down of Airports. The few paragraphs state that Government is looking into many airports that duplicate facilities of nearby cities.

It may order the airlines to serve only one airport in a region.

New Englands study starts Sept. 17, then Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Eastern,North Carolina, Dallas, Fort Worth and others later.

This statement by Kiplinger poses more questions than it answers. What is considered duplication? What is the government plan for locating airports? Would the government push the airport further away because of location of the Raleigh-Durham airport?

One paragraph in the first story telling of the CAB decision ordering an investigation into the advisability of establishing a regional airport, to serve Eastern Carolina, left much to the imagination. It says: The failure on previous voluntary efforts on the part of local political bodies to establish an area airport was not an impressive argument because the question usually can be solved only through the cooperation of federal agencies.

We are sending a copy of this editorial to L. H. Fountain asking him to get as much infor-. mation on the subject as he can obtain. Kiplinger has given us more on the government thinking than we have seen to date. And this is much too little for such an Important subject. What we fear is the delay that could follow, thus denying expanded service for another long period of time.

As we interpret what little we have on the subject, the government is taking over, and will designate the locatiim under a pattern to distribute air service and close expensive airports that have little or no service.

Now is the government going to supply the mcmey for the land? That is the local participation under the FAA plan. We will stop, for we are traveling in circles, so anxious are we to find some encouraging news on air service for the areas.

of the southern peninsula, theres a lot of wild country to the neighborhood. It used to be big deer-hunting country. Everybody hunted deer. The custom lingers.

When the season opens the roads are cluttered with the traffic of hunters. Often youll see cars parked on the side of a r(d. Where hunters left them to go into the woods.

Its a bigger thing than when rockfish are running down here; because it seems as though everybody gets into the act.

Carloads of hunters used to line up for miles, waiting for the ferry to cross the Straits of Mackinaw. And shoot deer by the hundreds in the northern peninsula. A new bridge handles the traffic now; and I hear it is one busy place in November.

Oh yes, the wire story with the Mancelona dateline was about a woman who had been lost in the woods overnight. It was a very short account.

It was the dateline that really caught my eye. After 16 years.

Press-Chronicle

In Cleveland, the Machinist and the Teamsters Union were campaigning for the privilege of representing the employes of a manufacturing firm. As the representation election approached, both unions placed advertisements in Cleveland newspapers, stating their arguments and criticizing the arguments of the opposing union.

Then the Teamsters Union objected to an ad placed by the Machinists Union, and their members who drive trucks for the Cleveland ^papers refused to deliver the newspaper in which the ad appeared.

This is a situation which will bear watching. Suppose union reporters refused to cover speeches by men with whom they disagreed? Suppose union printers refused to set type for editorials with which they disagreed? Or stereotypers to cast the plates or pressmen to produce the copies?

So far, all these unions have realized that such acticms are not their rights or privileges. Now the Teamsters have violated the general understanding. Threats to a free press, it appears. come from curious sources.

I have a friend.

Name unknown, but my friend sent me some assorted pages tom from a popular magazine. Reasons for which have not yet been determined.

Material included: an ad

for hay fover sufferers and a promise the capsule will make life more pleasant. (Sorry, no hay fever here.)

Another page advertises a popular tomato sauce, which the Missus already uses and which needs no calling to my attention.

Theres an article on how to stop smoking ... of interest to those who want to stop . . . and an ad about a motor oil (with a slick chick in a rauu-muu). and an ad on a new product designed to deter rust. Both items interesting, but other than reminding me Its time to have oil changed in the old buggy, hardly startling.

The sum total adds up to little, except for the possibility someone saw to those pages an item that made them think of me.

Someone cares.

And it inspires a glow . . . mixed with a background note of concern.

Has my pipe dropped a coal that burned somebodys ankle-deep wall-to-wall carpeting?

By GEORGE . SOKOLSKV Up in the Berkshires in Massachusetts. we have been cele-bratinf during the past week, the 200th birthday of the founding of Sandlsfield in which my house and farm are actually situated.

Sandisfield was once the fourth largest township in Berkshire County and waa very prosperous. the farmers making here the famous yellow Cheddar cheese, which has gcme by the name of York cheese. Store cheese or Cartwheel. At one time. Sandlsfield produced 300,-000 pounds of cheese and 106,000 pounda of butter each season. Also maple sugar, hay, apples, cider and a home-made rum. This area was famous for the Independence of its farrr.ers and although they fought well In the Indian wars and in the Revolution, they also took part in Shays Rebellion.

The reasc) that Sandisfleld ceased to be agriculturally and Industrially Important is that the new means of communication, the railroad, passed to the west of it, going through Sheffield, Great Barrington, Lenox, Lee and Pittsfield. However, this area is being restored by another form of transportation, the automobile and the bus. which bring the summer residents from New York, Hartford and Springfield to these parts, which with the Tanglewood concerts, the Jacobs Pillow dances end the camps for boys and girls are witnessing a revival.

The Bl-Centennlal has been lots of fun. All the neighbors came to the dances and the speeches and the pari^ the good, old-fashioned parades showing all the neighboring fire departments and interesting fl(t8 and old costumes and dances on the grass and not to be ommitted, hot dogs, popcorn, balloons, pink lemonade as well as the modem soft drinks.

Sandisfield is a Democratio town for some reason or other. Most of the other towns hereabout are Republican, also for some reason or other. But most of the local great men arc Republicans and they came to _ the Bi-Centennial. Governor John A. Volpe of Massachusetts was there to make a speech and he developed quickly all the chara<> teristica of local Informality.

He interrupted his speech to tell his audience to watch the parachute jumps which included a girl Jumper from Texas who wia veiy pretty. And that made tlje day lor iH the girls because tt just showed that what a man could do. a woman could do.

Governor VolPe spoke about the homely virtues of such a town as Sandisfield which has always maintained a pay-as-you-go policy that is truly wonderful in these days. As a matter of fact, Sandisfield meets its bills every mcmth and docs not get Into debt, except to borrow occasionally from a bank and It meets such an obligation as a sound businessman does.

Governor Volpe said that he wished other parts of Massachu-sctte could be so financially sound. Although the popoula-tlon of Sandlsfield is no longer predominantly Anglo-Saxon and has long foregone the ways of Jonathan Edwards who hails from here, it nevertheless has maintained a tradition of thrift, both for the town and for individuals.

When I first came here, we had no electricity on our hill and there are still some houses who do without it. I used a small plant but now buy city electricity which I find on the whole less expensive and less troublesome. The little Red School-Houses are Kone, too, and there is a central school which is well-run by a Yale graduate, George Etzel, who prefers the simple life and lives it faithfully.

The township, however, is so widespread, about 33,000 acres, that 5(Mne of the children would do better in schools in other townships closer at hand. But sentiment and loyalty and rules send them to our school despite snow and ice.

The local Congressman also came to make a speech. He is Silvio O. Conte, a Republican. He has told Ccmgress of the strong desire for self-government among these people. He said:

The first town meeting following Incorporation was called by virtue of a warrant Issued (Continued from page 1)

Profit-Squeeze Is Solid Fact

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS

LIVING LIFE TO ITS FULL

The word secular pertains to the worldly or temporal as distinguished from the spiritual or eternal. Things secular are characterized primarily by worldly interest. We live In a secular society. Crowded churches and the increased number of books and articles being written about religion seem to Indicate that the spiritual life of our nation is looking up a bit. But there are other factors which point to an opposite -conclusion. Crime is on the increase in unprecedented proportions. Sexual immorality has had a 300 per cent increase in fifty years. There are some who would like to take all references to religion out of government. education, and public policy. 1

hi other words, there is a

group in our midst that Is trying to deepen the secular aspect of society and to eliminate, if possible, every element of sacredness in modern life. The people who are trying to do this are not numerous but they are serious and dedicated. Only 3 per cent of the Russian people are communists, but they have made Russia and Its satellites communistic because of their persistence and the use of force. Those who have precious little use for religion are very few percentage-wise in the United States and Canada, but they can and will cause trouble.

The glory of modem life will depart If modem life becomes completely or even primarily secular. We are made in the Image and after the likeness of God. V'e must reco^^iz^ the spiritual iaciovB of life if we arc ti'uly to live.

By ELMER ROESSNER Steel Industry in Profit Squeeze, said a Chicago headline, Profit Squeeze is a World-Wide Term Now, said a heading in the New York Journal of Commerce. Higher Costs, Lower Prices Squeeze Profits, said a San Francisco paper. AU true.

Its true because .lt hgs always been true.

When Ramses the n demanded to know why there were not more bids from subcontractors on the Sphinx job, his Premier probably said, The buUders say they are in a profit squeeze. Whe Scipio wanted to know why the Roman Senate waa not buUdlng more triremes to fight Carthage, a Senator (R. NapoU) probably rose and declared that the boatbullders were in a profit squeeze and wouldnt bid. And when Don Quixote asked why the cost of lances was so high, Sancho Panza replied that the pikesmlths were in a profit squeeze.

AN) SO IT WILf> BE That's a fancilui approach to the solid fact:

In a free-entcrprlse economy, business wiU always be in a profit squeeze.

Under communism or fascism, busftiess is to no squeeze because the state dictates margins over cost. The profit is always what the dictator says it will be.

Under the cartel system, there need be no squeeze, because the cartels and trusts dictate prices.

Under the so-called fair trade" system, there Is supposed to be no squeeze, but mavericks keep popping up to offer goods at less than the fixed prices and thereby applying a profit squeeze.

IN A FREE ECONOMY

But in an economy where price-fixing is illegal^ the profit squeeze is built to.

Suppose Joe Copia cans com and makes 10 per cent on each can sold. Word gets around. Mike Aipoc figures he will be happy with 8 per cent profit. And. eventually. Pete Discount calculates he can get by with 'k 2 per cent profit. Joe and Mike are to a profit' squeeze.

And. though he may not know it until later, so is Pete.

Thats a simple case.

Now lets suppose that Oscar Devious devises a new product, such as a sarong swing. Or a new kind of pen. Or a hoola hoop.

NO PROFIT SECURITY

Being first in the market, he offers his product at a fat profit. And because It is a -wanted item, people buy. Then imitators spring up and Oscar has to bring his prlc down to meet theirs.

This is true whether the device is patented or not. If It is. the imitators will go ahead anyhow, gambling that the patent wont be upheld or. that. If it is, they can oolapse their business before damages can be collected. (That's one of the nastier sides of the free enterprise system, but no one has found a way to block it yet.)

Lets go back to steel. The minute the profit margin is large and not squeezed, foreign pi'oduccrs lush Into the American market.

If It were not for the profit

squeeze, you might be paying |2 a pound for hamburger, $3 for a haircut and 25 cents for a bus ride. Oh, you are paying that much for a bus ride? Then its because there is a Price-flxtog system for bus rides that eliminates the profit squeeze.

Next time you hear that some business or Industry Is in a profit squeeze, stay calm. In fact, rejoice. The profit squeeze is very rea. But it is a chtracteristic of free enterprise and democratic business.
