Tax-Free Bonds

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES REACT T1 retction of State Treaaurer Edwin Gill to a new report rQconunendins tax.imipt revenue bonds to attract new Industry was both awift and strong.

He was shocked and suiprls-ad. and flatly (gipoeed.

But the report, now cm Governor Sanfords (teak, raised a new and uni<]ue type of revenue bond flnancing proposal to spur the states industrial development. And it was backed, albeit aoBKwhat reluctantly, by s(xxie of the states teading private lenders, bankers and financiers including even the chairman of the Commerce and Industry eommlttee of the State Board of Conservation and Development, Carl McOraw of Charlotte.

The majority repcnt quickly recognised that opposition to the plan centers on ethical or jMDper role of government grounds and argued that these issues cannot be debated rationally.

GILL Gill, however, chose to debate them.

The veteran State TYeaaur-er. whose reputation Is that of watchdog of the states credit rating, borrowed a copy of the report from a newspaperman and read it with agitation.

"In my opinion, this is a very bad Gill said, tapping

the bine-backed document with a finger.

"That rm opposed to it isnt auiprtslng. Ive been flghting this an my life.. Re eaUed it encroachment of govemmwit Into private enterprise, and said the traditiKtal Philosophy oi exempting revenue bonds only for public purposes cannot be defended when it invades the field of puUic financing for a private industry.

REPORT The report is that of a governors committee on industrial financing headed by Dr. Joe S. Ployd Jr.. <rf CSiapel Rill. Its principal reo(uzienda-tion, whkA Gin attacked, recommends a strictly - controlled revalue bond program scxne-thing it concedes it (gqioses "in prlnctpte.**

At least two-thirds of the committee ircludlng Ployd opposed revenue bonds when the study began. But in final analysis it said it felt "compelled to recommend the program in lieu of other, mtve draatio tax oonces-atoos, induoements. giveaways and ginunlcka which North Carolhia has resisted heretofore in the race to get new industry.

Three members of the 18 member committee wrote a strongly - worded dissent, and GUI supported this position. Two

other members did not approve or disstqurove. or merely voted "present <m the controlled revenue b(nd plan.

'The majority, however, said that in light of its study and the facts (tf life about competing for new industry, it changed its mind.

"Given these facts, especially the federal income tax law, its applications and its lo(H>hol-es, we sec no alternative for our state.

PLAN The Floyd committee states its plan carefully, recognizing very real limits" on private local and the North Carolina Business Development Corporation to grant loans for industries to build plants and other facilities.

In essence, the revenue - bond plan would aUow local municipal and county governments to issue tax-exempt revenue bonds for such industrial facilities. The procedure would be controlled by a state authority and the bonds would not be general obligation bcmds but rather those to be repaid by pledging rental revenues.

TIm repeat makes plain that the entire committee <n>Poses this revenue bond financing plan in principie. But the majority justifies its stand in two ways. First, other states are using revenue bond financing and granting even greater tax con-cessicms and inducements, and secondly, on grounds that the federal govenunent allows an(i permits a revenue bond "loop-holoi* in its Income tax structure.

If the federal government will eliminate the tax loophole (mr plan ab(xild definitely be tennhiated, the majority said.

It actually urged North Carolina members of congress to support any move to eliminate these federal tax advantages which have led to nationwide use of revenue bonds for financing industrial facilities. CONTROL The plan the Ployd committee propc^d is called unique and the committee insisted upon strict controls.

This Cixnmittee is unwilling to endorse any revenue bond plan unless it is controlled. it said.

Tbe plan ccmtains other characteristics, sw^h as'placing initiative in hands of local, nonprofit devel(^ment corporations sponsored by a city or county unit. This would negotiate leases with prospective industry.

Then, a State Building Authority would be established to pass on and approve such plans and after winning approval the local grwp would raise the re-Qrired local contributions fnon private sources.

Freedom's New Voice On This Anniversary

Twenty-one years ago the United States suffered a devastating blow in the sneak attack at Pearl Harbor.

Today, on the anniversary of that well-remembered episode in American history, a new voice of freedom was heard around the world. It was the powerful voice of the new VGA transmitting facilities in this immediate area which began test operations on an eight-hour-a-day basis.

It is a significant day for the United States, for its Voice of America, and certainly for Greenville and Pitt County. When completed Vithin a few months, the local facilities of the VGA will constitute the most powerful short wave radio transmis- __

sion installation anywhere in the free world. In all nnxi Qr*IJT TTrxtry probability it will be the most powerful in the 1/V-fXN world. It will be capable of beaming Americas *Voic^ behind the Iron and Bamboo Curtains as well as to most other spots on the globe.

^ With its activation, the United States will have on its own soil a transmitting facility of far greater reach than at any previous time. The, Voice of America will speak louder and clearer to neonJe of other nations than it has been capable of^^dofng

in the past. he has the cigarette package

It is also significant, we think, that the be- h

ginning of these regular tests today come two weeks TeSy night? ttT wuiS

ahead of the original schedule for the project. More ' ......

often than not in a project of such magnitude un-forseen difficulties in construction over a period of many months puts completion behind rather than ahead of schedule. We commend the Voice of America personnel, as well as the contractors who have^had a part in the project, for making possible the beginning of regularly scheduled transmission teste on this significant date in American history.

had brought back to Greenville from Beaufort. He brings a quantity of those Liggett and Myers wrappers every week from Beaufort, for the Ficklen Stadium collection.

It all began, says Williams, soon after the tobacco company offered a penny-per-empty-pack-age toward the stadium. He was in the C. D. J(Mies Red and White Super Market in Beaufort, and the market manager was balling up an, empty cig

arette pack and about to throw it away when the Greenvillite said Dont throw that away, I can use it, and proceeded to tell about the paper penny campaign.

A customer came in at about that time and heard part of the story; ancr she volunteered she had known about it but didnt know who would do the collecting.

The next week when Williams called on the market there was a small bundle of wrappers awaiting him. And there has been a bundle, from 40 to 60, awaiting him every week. A number of people were getting in on the act; and this has been going on for months and months.

There were no Beaufort col

lections while Williams was <hi his vacation, and when he resumed work this week the Beaufort Friends of East Carolina College had a king-size bundle of wrappers waiting. He was mightily pleased.

WASHINGTON (AP) Theres a chatterboxK>r maybe a bunch of chatterboxes in or close to President Kennedys highly secret National Security Council.

The Washington Star suggests Kennedy use the FBI to find out who did the talking to the Saturday Evening Post about how the council advised the President on handling tbe Cuban crtik is last October.

This would mean an investigation of those clcMete to the President. Meanwhile theres no assurance there wont be more blabbing after another secret meeting on another crisis.

The Post this week not only published an account of who said what at the October meeting and what measures were discussed but mentioned what was in an luter-office memorandum distributed in the super-secret Central Intelligence Agency.

Yet this week when Kennedys press secretary, Pierre Salinger, was asked to comment on the story he said: "Proceedings of the NSC have been secret since its founding in 1947 and will continue to be.

The magazine story was written by a close friend of tha President, Charles Bartlett, Washington correspiMident of the Chattanooga 'Times, and Stewart Als<w, who reiwrtedly has close connectiims in the administration.

By Itself their account what was said at the meeting would cause surprise. But evoi that was subordinated to the storm raised by the part they said was played by Adlai Stevenson. U. S. Ambassador to the United Nati(ms.

Their story said that even after a "consensus of Kennedys other advisers on the NSC said that a Cuban blockade should be the first step in a showdown with Russia, Stevenson "dissented and even suggested making concessions to tiw So

viets by swapping Allied missile bases for Russias Cuban missile bases.

This article was widely interpreted in Washington as a sign the Kennedy administration was putting, theSkids under Stevenson and wanted to bounce him, What followed, as the storm got bigger, is curious in itself: SaUnger read to reporters a White House statement saying "Stevenson strongly supported the decision taken by the President on the quarantine. . White House officials said the statement had been prepared with the knowledge and advice of the President.

The statement at first glance seemed to support what Stevenson by this time had already said: that he had favored a blockade. But on closer examination it looks ambiguous.

It didnt contradict the Post story by saying Stevenson agreed with the consensus of the council that there should be a blockade. Kennedy made his decision after hearing the-council. The White House statement said only that Stevenson agreed with the Presidents decision.

Stevenson expanded Wednesday on the part he played in the council meeting.

On an NBC television show, Stevenson said the Bartlett-Al-sop story was a classic example of irresponsible journalism . . .untrue as to what I proposed and as to what I opposed. He said he had emphatically approved the blockade and he denied advocating a swap of missile bases with Russia. Here in Washington there was a broad feeling Kennedy would have to give Stevenson per-scwial and diretit support if the ambassador were not to suffer great loss of prestige at the U N.

Wednesday night the White House released a letter from Kennedy to Stevenson in which the President said he deeply regretted the "imfortunate stir

(Henderson Dispatch)

For years President Tito of Yugoslavia assumed the role of a communist lone eagle. He broke with Stalin years before the latters death in 1953 as the dictator of Soviet Russia. The amazing thing about his conduct is that he has always gotten away with it, whereas Red satellites elsewhere have been held in line by force or by threats of it. Tito took the chance and was not molested.

Now, this iron ruler of the Yugoslav state is on an official visit to Moscow. He will confer at some length with Khrushchev. The red caipet will be rolled out for him as Kremlin big shots court his favor and endeavor to entice him back into the fold, idologically at least.

During these long years of his apostasy, Tito has pretended to lean to the West, and esr pecially toward the United States. As a result, he has been the beneficiary of hundreds of millions of dollars of American handouts, given in the hope of weaning him permanently away from the Moscow bloc. These gratuities have failed In that respect and as they have elsewhere, in the fantastic theory in Washlngt(xi that friends can be bought, which, of course,

' they cannot and never have been, at least no longer than the .flow of free money and goods continued.

" One wonders if Tito now. In reversing his attitude toward Moscow, has concluded he has gotten about all that can be expected here, that the American people are tiring of this falla-, clous policy toward him, and that these sources of bounty may ultimately dry up. He may be launching upon a policy which Nehru in India has pur-

To bring you up to date on the paper penny drive:

There have been to date three count-ups and three iwiy-offs since the campaign was launched last April. The total represents about $3,000.

The next count-up is planned around the first of the year, and Im told there are estimates this coming pay-off will be more than all previous ones combined.

All indications are that the collections are increasing with the passage of time and the saving habit spreads.

Ive been told, too, the Liggett and Myers people have agreed to extend this campaign until June; \riUch sho^d be a big help to the stadldm fundraising department.

sued through the years of Indian independence, namely, of pretending neutrality and blowing neither hot nor cold as he has attempted to play both ends against the middle.

In his extremity now. Nehru has little hope of aid from Khrushchev, and is calling desperately upon Washington to send assistance against the Red China invaders. His frantic appeals have not been lost on the administration , here. Huge transport and bomber planes have been sent to his aid with arms and supplies. But when and if the crisis passes, it will not be surprising If he lapses again into an attitude of softness toward the communists. Despite the Chinese Invasion of his country, he voted in the United N^cms to accept Peiping into membership in the world orgiinization.

Is Tito now assuming a role similar to that Nehru has held all these years? Is he also attempting to play both ends against the middle? If he reach-*es a friendly accord with Khrushchev, will he be cut off here? The best bet Is that he will not. There are those in the Washing- * ton establishment who would not hesitate to pour American bounties into even communist countries. Actually, it is alresuly being donePoland for example.

A distinguished congressmaii frm North Carolina was heard to remark several years ago that he would not trust Tito as far as he could throw the Capitol. But Washington generally accepts him and the flood of goods and cash has not been shut off. It remains to be seen now what will happen during the Moscow visit and what the American attitude will be as a result.

Fight TB and Other Respiratory Diseases

No public official in any part of the country is comparable to Robert Moses in his devoted and unending and mostly uncompensated public service for nearly half a century. Of the A1 Smith traditi(Mi, Moses regarded, public service as a career and he gathered about him able executives who built for New York City a superb park system, for New York State a beautiful and useful parkway system and for the St, Lawrence River, a power utility. He also manages the Triborough Bridge Authority tmd the New York Worlds Fair. He once held 11 jobs but 9, salary CMily for one.

At 73, Robert Moses can do more, of a days work than most and Governor Nelson Rockefellers plea, (Ki dismissing Moses from one position, that Moses was overloaded Is nonsense, The fact is that Rockefeller wants Mosess Job on the Park Council for his brother, Laurance, who is also overloaded with numerous real estate and c^er business operations. The Rockefellers must be jealous 6t the Kennedys, but that is no excuse for asking a competent, efficient, honored public servant to resign in favor of nepotism.

There is no criticism of Laurance Roidcefeller. He has been Vice President of the New York State Park Council, appointed by Governor Lehman l(mg before Nelson Rockefeller became Governor. There must be criticism of the Governors bad manners, his Ineptitude in proposing that Moses resign to give his brother a chance to shine in the public eye. It was absurd of the Governor to propose that when Moses resigned his numerous state jobs, he say nothing to the press on the subject. Mosess reply, I cannot ask anyone to print. It was explosive, direct and to the point. It was an older and more experienced man talking to a youngster in the tool-shed. I saw Bob Moses several hours later and his eyes were still blazing. He was not acting as a cover for anyone.

The significance of all this Is that it adds to the political turmoil in New York State and leaves Governor Rockefellers chances of running for the Presidency (m the Republican ticket more uncertain. No man can be trusted with major affairs who asks such a man as Robert Moses to resign so that hli brother might bask in the blocmi of anothers achievements. It Indicates a political instability that Is dangerous In times like these.

There also can be no doubt that Senator Jacob Javltss large vote in the 1962 election, compared to Rockefellers smaller vote, both running against inconsequential opponents, cut Nelson Rockefeller to the quick. That vote was a political set-back. True, Rockefeller had a frightfully insignificant speech-writing organization, whereas Javits rolled his own, as it were, but there were many other factors in the situation which turned the New York State voter againt him, whether Republican or Democrat.

Since the Election, Rockefeller has been remote from the public. Announcing himself as a candidate for the Presidency in 1964, prematurely, and ad-vising Republicans to go slow, he stirs the embers of the conservative fire in both New York State and California. The Conservatives are not likely to accept Rockefeller, even if he were willing to take Barry Goldwater for Vice President.

On the other hand, some non-political persons, carried away by the size of the Javits vote for Senator, are already mentioning him for Vice President which will stir up very ugly opposition in many parts of the country and a rampage of antagonism from Governor Nelson Rockefeller. In a word, the pot is boiling in these Parts and turning out a very smelly stew. From it, nothing good can come to Rockefeller.

It is curious, in American politics, how minor Incidents take on national significance. Governor Nelson Rockefeller has groomed himself for the Presidency, preparing for it since the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. He has met with some measure of (Continued, on Pag# 1)

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS TEMPTATION The New Testament tells us that Jesus was "tempted in all points like as we are yet without sin (Hebrews 4:15). ^

Why did Jesus need to be tempted? For the same reason that you and I need to be tempted, namely in order to strengthen ua against the power of evil. If we never had any exercise in withstanding evil, we would become morally weak and flabby. Jesus taught men to pray, "Lead ua not into temptatl(xi, which is another way ot aaytng "Use thy divine power, Heavenly Father, to enable us to keep out of the way to temptation. God does not tempt us He permits ua to be tempted. Some temptations oorae upon us through no fault oi our own. Most temptations, however, are the result of our way of think

ing. imagining, desiring, and acting. Let us face frankly the factt that most of the temptations which assail us are the result of our own weakness, Ig-ncuance, or folly. Let us not try to put on God the blame for deplorable situations which we ourselves have created.

Temptation resolutely confronted and triumphantly overcome constitutes the best exercise one can have in the development of a wholesale mind and a resolute spirit. Jesus was compelled to endure temptation before God sent him on his momentous career. His temptation was preparation practice, exercise of the spiritual powers he would later be called up(Mi to use.

The formula is a simple one: flee temptation If flight is possible. Resist it with undying zeal if it gets ^ou into a comer.

If President Kennedy wants to gear wage and price increases to the average hicrcaae in national productivity, he should have started by curbing the American Medical Associatitm instead of the steel industry. declared E Ray Oanterbery, Washington University economist, writing in the December Issue of Challenge.

"Since 1958, he explains, "wholesale iron and steel prices have declined 1 per cent while the cost of medical care has risen 16 per cent.

President Kennwys fear that a steel price rise would inaugurate an upward wage-price spiral was largely unjustified. In fact, over-all prices in the United States have risen slowly since 1958.

This relative price stability was primarily a result of aggressive competition from the resurgent economies of Western Europe and Japan, The American steel Industry In particular has been undercut by foreign-forged products.

INFLATION PLAYING

POSSUM .

Canterbery disagrees sharply with economists who have declared that the danger of Inflation has ended.

Walter Heller, chaimian of the Presidents Council of Economic Advisers, stated on Black Monday (May this year) that Inflation as a way of life was over. His view was so(mi echoed by many economists in and out of the Kennedy Administration. . .Are we to presume that the steel crisis and the market drop put an end to inflation?

The author does not think so. Furthermore, he thinks that the stock market crash was not caused by Kennedys action in the aborted steel price rise, but was the result of excessively high prices.

The U. S. today is afflicted by sluggish production, he writes, ^hlle the price, level remains ^latlvely stable. On the otherIpmd, West Germany, Prance, Italy and Japan are enjoying extremely fast rates of economic growth while both

their price and wage levels are advancing more rapidly than ours,

QUESTIONS AUTOMATIC PAY RISES

Canterbery questions the * proposals of the Council of Economic Advisers and others that wages should generally rise with the increase In productivity, estimated at around 3 per cent a year.

Productivity is increasing rapidly in some Industries, such as the electronic', and very little in others, such as tbe glass-blowing, he observes. In a free market, labor must b drawn to highly efficient growth industries by higher wages. But general rises in wages will result in serious mIsalJocatlons of labor.

But our worst enemy Is the false belief that the forces of lnflati(Mi have been vanquished, he concludes. Such an assumption will disarm us against the true dangers and gird us to battle phantoms.

We will remain blind to the real problems of the present and the future, such as the rapidly

rising cost of labor In the service Industries, the excessive cost of outmoded machines in many Industries, suid the waste of resource-starved growth industries operating along side the vast underutilized capacity which continues to plague durable goods plants. These inequities sap the vitality of our entire economy.
