A small trial baUoon with Wades name attached was lifted ever so gently the other night at a dinner for the State Board of Conservatic and Develop-mcnt

Wade was the speaker for the banquet. And the possibility that be just might be considering the possibility ci running for governor was asenticmed in the lntroducti(m by Mrs. Ila Campbell. a member of the C&D board from Lake Junaluska.

He sp(*e on this subject to the C&D board, citing the importance (rf the travel business to the states economy. The vol-tnae of travel business in the tate, already the third largest single econcHnic factor after textiles and tobacco, is up 14 percent this year.

It Is COTiceivable, Wade said, that at some point in the future it might surpass these two great industries, but that can wily be when we have developed the business to a far greater degree,

He urged a new emphasis on certain aspects of developing the travel industry. This is not so much on spending for advertising as it is in stressing quality In facilities and services, in giving the tourist and

By JOHN ABNEY MEXICO CITY Well, we were sitting in the kitchen the other night discussing things like Beethoven and creamed spinach when the Lady from Puebla suddenly asked if I had baited the mouse trap.

And naturally. I hadnt be-

You put things like bread crusts or last weeks cheese on the trap and it winds up frozen solid from the cold shoulder it gets.

These mice are strictly buffet types.

So the Lady from Puebla said she couldnt understand how come mice ran around a nice new building like this.

Mice like a good clean place as well as the next person, I told her. Why should they set up shop In a hovel when they can bed down in a modem apartment with parquet floors?

So she said, Oh foo. They come in. from the vacant lot behind us because youre so sloppy and spill crumbs everywhere.

It doesnt add up, madam. These mice are haut monde and wouldnt stoop to scraps,

For Heavens sake stop scratching your stomach, she complained. All a mouse has to do is look at you and he figures this is the city dump. The trouble with our mice is they are spoiled rotten. Ever since the night you baited the trap with shrimp creole they quit going for cheese. Now they expect rare roast beef and turkey or they refuse to cooperate.

Food is food to a mouse, she stated vigorously. You never catch any because you dont know how to set the trap right.

Gee. you criticize me in this manner when I barely get home from a days toil at the office.

And the Lady from Puebla looked at me sharply and said, It must be terribly uncomfortable leaning on that bar at the Press Club all day. Did you ever consMer putting callouses on your fingers from typing instead of where you have them from sitting?

All rivht, be ugly to me. But we still got no .suitable bait unless you want to use some pate or have me run down to the market for lobster. They went for the shrimp, as I recall. Why dont yon just bait the

trap and stop the conversation, she asked.

Whats wrong with my conversation? The mouse sitting by the stove seems to find it Interesting.

So the Lady from Puebla glanced down at the mouse staring at her from the edge

maybe five, six feet up in the air and came down on top of the washing machine all sorts of things at me.

For Heavens sake, control yourself, I said. You frightened the wits out of the poor thing.

And she went cm and on and on. When the Lady from Puebla becomes upset she sounds like a machinegun firing n high C and it is almost impossible to know if she is talking or what.

Please! I shouted, only who could hear me? Youre going to give him complexes. Plain mice are bad enough but , emotionally disturbed, mice are intolerable.

So finally I started for the bathroom and the Lady from Puebla shriekti at me not to leave her and where was I going, anyhow?

Im going to get a tranquilizer to bait the trap, I told her. He will be out of his mind for a week.

And she came down off the washing machine and grabbed the kitchen chair and hollered, All right. Enough is enough and we are way past that point. Touch my tranquilizers, you slob, or try to feed one to a lousy mouse and Ill bust their chair over your head!

Actually, I dont know what else you could expect. Even the early philosophers discovered you cant carry on an intelligent conversation with women.

OihQi Editors Saying ... Union Dues For Politics

In

3rief

(Rocky Mount Telegram)

When the . S. Supreme Court reviews a decision by the North Carolina Supreme Court barring enforcement of a union shop agreement against a group of non-union employes of the Southern Railway, wie of the chief points in question will be the use of funds from union dues for political purposes.

Under a union shop agreement workers are required to join a union within a fixed period, usually after 60 days following the start of employment, and to pay dues. This kind of agreement is permitted under the Railway Labor Act. There has already been a court decision on the question of spending union funds for political purposes.

Last year the U. S. Supreme Court said, in a Georgia case, that the union shop was not lawful. It suggested that a worker objecting to the spending of union dues for political purposes might seek an injunction against such use of his proportionate share of union funds. Or, the court said further, the worker might inform the union of his objection and receive a refund of his portion of the dues.

A group of Tar Heels employed by the Southern Railway sued against enforcement of a union shop agreement. They did not belong to a union and paid no dues to the unions involved. A Mecklenburg jury found that the unions used part of the dues for the support or opposition of

legislation and to Influence votes in public elections. The verdict said those activities were not necessary or reasonably related to collective bargaining.

The court enjoined the unions from compelling the objecting employes to join unions or conform to union rules. The North Carolina Supreme Court affirmed the trial decision; It was ap-* pealed to the U. Srhigh coort by the unions. They asserted the opposition by the objecting employes Is directed not at any particular activity or expenditure of collective bargaining representatives, but rather to the union shop and just as plainly the union shop is lawful.

It Is clear why some workers might object to the use of their dues for political propaganda. Certain workers might well belong to one political party when they know their dues money is being used to support an opposition party. The objection here. then, is well taken and that is what the state high court recognized in reviewing the trial in Mecklenburg.

Whatever the U. S. court decides in the disposition of the case. It should not Ignore the rights of a worker to see his dues portion spent as he wish es for political purposes. For a union to have a right to disregard his position in such a matter is to disregard the rights of citizens for the right to express politically his own preference.

There has never been any questi(xi but that (Thnit Kuo the Middle Kingdom the center o tlue universe must prevail. It Is this matter of manifest destbiy which givee to the Chinese tbelr peace oC mind, their poise.

The widest expansion of Cbt-na cxjcurred In the dynasty at the Emperor Chienlung (1736-1795). R was a period of prosperity and art. The (xaly census that was ever taken In China, was In Chienlungs time.

Dr. Sun Yat-soi, who made China a republic and Is regarded by the CMiese itesA as equal to our own George Warii-Ington. delivered a series of lectures which were brought together In a volume San Mia Chu I which influenced China more than any other facUsr du> Ing the next 40 years.

The second lecture deals wltb this:

From ancient times, the lacrease and the decrease of pop-ulatlcx) has played a large part in the rise and fall of natlona. This Is the law of natural scleo^ tion, many ancient and famcxis nati(ms have disappeared witb-ut leaving a trace. Our Chinese nati(m is cme also of great antiquity, with four thousand years of authentic history, and so at least five or six thousand years of actual existence.* In this lecture. Dr. Sun lists the territories which China has lost during the years when th European nations and Japan were slicing up the country. Among the countries that Dr. Sun includes are Annain (Vietnam) and Burma; the territorial losses along the Amur and Ussuri Rivers, the 111 and Khok-and Rivers (now In Russian territory), Siam, Borneo, the Su-lu Archipelago, Java (Indonefr la), Ceylon, Nepal and Bhu

tan.

He said:

In its age of greatest power, the territory of the Ohiness Empire was very large, extending northward to the north of the Amur, southward to ths south of the Himalayas, eastward to the China Sea, westward to the Tsung Lin. Nepal

In the first year of the Republic was still bringing tribute Into Szechwan, and then stopped because of the Impas-sability ^^f^ Jhe^ rp^s tl

Sun did not approve of Im-peralism but his definition of China was clearly the expansion of that country during the Chienlung Dynasty. The present war between India and Red China Is only a battle In a constant war for the CTiienlung lino which will give Red China control of the northeastern border of India and will take control of Ladakh, Bhutan and Nepal.

The ownership of Ladakh could give Red China a hold on Kashmir; the possession of Bhutan by Red China would give that country control of the Himalayan passes from Tibet to India; Nepal Is a valuable military asset to India which could be neutralized by Red China. The ultimate program Is to reach the Bay of Bengal. Thlf would eliminate India as a factor in Indian Oean affairs.

Again In his fourth lecture. Dr. Sun raised this question:

I was in Canton setting up the constitutional government. One day the British consul came to the headquarters (jf the commander In chief to see me and to discuss with me the possibility of the Southern Government Joining the Entente and sending troops to Europe. I asked the British counsul, Why should we send troops? He replied: To fight Germany. . .*

I said: 'Tsingtau Is rather far away from Canton. What about the place nearest to us Hongkong. , .China hasnt sufficient strength at present to recover her lost territory; If she did, perhaps she might first take back what Great Britain has usurped. . .

Many years ago a stalwart old Scotch miner wa.s talking to his young son who, with the pa.ss-ing years, w^s J,o Ix'come one of the outstanding preachers and church leaders of America. Jack. said the old man, when I w'ant to find whether a stick is straight or not I take another stick that I know by measurement and experience is absolutely straight and lay it alongside the first stick.

Sometimes it seems as if moral measurement has been discarded In modern life. Becau.sc ceilaiii old weights and balances prove inofiective toflay there is a wldespicad movement to do away with moral weights and balances altogetlicr. There haa not been a time probably

in 2(M) years when men have cared less about the moral experience o' the race than they do now. We are in what is knowm as a period of law standards as regards personal morality.

Chiistianity is ba.sed upon the contention that there are values in the moral universe which do not change with the passing years. There are straight measuring sticks by which justice, honesty and purity can be mea-sn.'-ed. These arc found pre-eminently, of course, in the teachings of the Bible, and if a man wants to know whether or not a certain opinion, custom, or action is right, let him lay the straight mea.*>uring stick of God's eternal value.s alongside the matter in question.

No one really knows all the impacts the Cuban showdown V ill have on business. But some of them are highly probable. For instance:

1. Eventual stiffening of the .stock market. If the precedents of the last three or four wais ai-e guides, this is w'hat will happen: Stocks, except for those corporations directly engaged in defense, will waver for a while as the war babies shoot up. Then,- as inflation iiicrea.ses and shortages develop, other stocks will jirm up too.

2. Government spending in-crea.se. The armed service will discover gaps in supplies and will push harder for certain kinds of weapons, not necessarily atomic. This will lead to a speed-up of government spending, increasing industrial production, increasing employment, increasing stock values.

;i. Unemployment decrease The rise in defense spending will be only one factor. Increase in call-ups will be a second; a Irndrncy to hoard labor again.st a real-war shortage will increase.

OTHER PROBABILITIES

4. Delay in federal tax cut. Despite the promise of President Kennedy, it may be necessary to po.stpone the January 1 cut in taxes. Reason 1: the country will need all revenues possible to strengthen its defense machinery. Reason 2: The threatened rece.ssion, the cau.se for the tax cut plan, will be shoved hrto the future by factors cited above.

T). Tougher labor deals: Unions, fearing a wage-freezc if the cold war gets hotter, will demand all they can brdore the chill. Employers, fearing price free'/es, will resLst wage increa.s-es. They will also seek to keep labor costs down to strengthen their positions in bidding for government contracts, expected to rise in volume.

6. Higher steel prices: Regardless of government pressure. steel prices seem certain to rise. When unions demand higher pay and they will steel producers will have to increase prices to meet them. Thi.s time thei-e will be no Presidential quarantine of steel prices.

Reason No. 1: The last action to halt steel prices alienated business and was used to blame Kennedy (probably unfairly) for the current softness In business. Reason No. 2: When it becomes necessary to strengthen armaments, it is also necessary to increase steel production, even at higher prices.

( iian(;e-of-pace talks

7. Rewriting scripts: As the rising military preparedness Increases business activity, the economists and soothsayers will have to begin revising prognis-tications. At the same time, the politicians who have been blaming Kennedy for everything that has gone wrong will have to revise their themes, with election a little more than a week away.

8, Changed political consequences: President Kennedys firm action on Cuba may swing many votes in critical elections. The Presidents weekend excursions to the sticks may have awakened him to the fact that people at the grass roots were angered at the Administrations Cuban policy more so than over the Berlin .situation in which Kennedy w^as a^bit finner. Now that bis action this week show

ed firmness toward both Rusrit and Cuba, many Independenta will change their mind* about voting Republican.

OLD PROMOTER PROPOSES TRADING STAMP SOLUTION The Old Promoter, walking In uninvited and dipping Into my cigars today, came up with a proposal to end all dispute* oyer trading stamps.

Some people c(nnplain that trading stamps Increase prlo es, some merchants say the stamps create unfair competition, he said. Law* to prohibit stamps have been knocked out by Judge* or by that higher court, American housewives. I

I have a solutlwi. Let* pas* a law to require everybody to give tradi stamps. Then there will be no more conflicts between buyers and seller*, or among themselves. Everybody will get something for nothing, even If they have to pay for It themselves.

. I told him that, while it may he a wonderful idea, I certainly would give trading stamp* with cigars he helped himself to.
