May Speak On Floyd Report'

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES

SPEAKUnless an appropriate occasion raises before then Ckwenior Sanford may chcNose an engagement In New York In February to make his first public comments on the most coQtroTersial port of the recent Fkord report. '

This part erf the Floyd report Ss&e one that has drawn heavy itfcism and oppositiaia proposal that North Carolina enter the field of tax-free revenue bonds for Industrial financing.

The rec(xiimendati(X) is a departure from North Carolinas traditional positkxi agahast coi-cesslons and so-called giveaways to attract industry to the state. The maiorttr erf the Ployd cexnmittee, however, makes a strong case for a eon-tnrfled plan of revenue bond financing and says this is deemed necessary for the state to maintain its cennpetiUve position.

The governor received the

Floyd Gommittee report without ent. He toM newsmen that

comment _____________

he would have something to say about it li^, but gave no indi-catioD as to when.

REPORTSRepmts are that Sanford now Is consk^rlng comment on this feature in an address to the Sales Executives C3ub of New Ywic on February 26.

This date is three weeks after convening of the legislature, but it may be that Sanf(d win decUte that no commenteither endorsement or omiosition is necessary prior to the legislatures convening.

CXX!ASIONThe occasion in New York is a Irfg feather in the cap tor the states industry Inmters. and the most is to be made of it.

Sanford accepted the invitation to speak on the salesmanship methods of the state of North Canrflna which have given this state the reputation of a national leader in seUing new Industry. Announcemei^ of Sanfords acceptance said he would describe to some of the natloos leading sales executives how North Carolina moved from a rural economy to an aconnmy balanced between g-rleolture and industry daring the past two decades.

Sanford is preparing to dis-eoss in this speech the salesmanship of state, county and municitel governments in NotUi Carolina, and it will be a natural vehicle for discussing the states traditional fiscal policy In r^ard to Industrial devel(H^ ment.

INDUSTRY^Industrial development ranks second only to

education thus far as a major accomplishment during the Sanford administratirai, and the source for this is the ad-ministratk itself.

First in accomplishments for the two yeare, the administration feels, is the fact that North Candna led tiie nation in advances in public education in 1961, according to figures ot the Natiimal Educatiixi Association.

But very close behind Is the record rolled up thus far In Industrial develoimient. Figures for I962s calendar year are to be published very soon, and there will be an interesting comparison with those for 1961.

A year ago, Sanford ajmounc-ed an all-time record in North Carolinas efforts to strengthen and diversify its industrial development program. Capital investments totaling $279,447,000 (m) were announced for new and expanded manufacturing plants during 1961.

AHEAI>Looking ahead, beyond the holidays.

Capitol square is closing up tight for its annual Christnns-New Yeai;; break, but there is plenty of worii on the horizon immediately afterward.

The special committee of the Consolidated Uhivereity board of trustees, beaded by Thomas J. Pearsall of Rocky Blount, has decided to delay its report on University expansion until after the holldas^. The committee win meet in early January to put its r^;ort in slume for a spedal meeting of the trustees.

Its expected, according to edited sources, that a series of major improvanents projects wfll be announced for another important eastwest highway in Eastern North Candna. Such a series-of improvem^t projects recently was an>roved for UJS.

70 east of RaJdgh to Moretead City.

POLITICS-Ih politics, 1963 Udt fair to be one <rf the most active non-election yean for political nmneuvering in Nrnth Carolina history.

State Democratic chairman Bert Bennett already has said he wants the Democratic partys macfah]^ and activities kept in hlrii gear throughout the year. Party officials have been laying groundwork for what Bmnett calls the most active non-election year program in tte partys history. Neither does anyone expect tte Republicans to be Idle. Tte OOPs legislative contingent and other key party figures including Rep. Charles R. Jonas began laying plans at a recent meeting in Charlotte.

ICBMs standing ready to be put into action on a moments notice, the United States has improved its military position considerably from what it was a few years ago.

Although it is to be hoped that the ICBM squadrons will never have to be used in warfare the very fact that the United States now has them ready for use should prove a further deterrent to foolish aggression by the Soviets or any other nation.

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) This was not one of the splendid years. Neither optimists nor pessimists had much to crow about. It had scxne horrible m(xnents, s<xne flashing (xies.

It was a year of Incredible stupidity when the Russians thought they could get away with putting missiles in Cuba.

It was a year of at least one fierce and sturdy decision when President Kennedy forced the Russians to remove the missiles.

R was a savage and bloody year war In Viet Nam. the Red Chinese Invasiwi of India, assassinations in Algeria.

It was a year racism wore one of its ugliest faces when James H. Meredith, a Negro, got Into all - white University of Blisstssi];^ only after bloody rioting, two mens deaths and use of tte full force of government.

It was a year of few solutions there were none In Viet Nam, Berlin, tte Congo, all major trouble spots for years.

R was, like others, a year of empty Jaw-jaw East and West did nuclear testing while fruitlessly talking disarmament and a ban on testing.

It was even a dull political year after the November elections tte number of Democrats and Republicans In office remained pretty much the same.

It was a year of at least one political disaster defeated Richard M. Nixon apparently passed into political oblivion.

B was a year of a few brilliant moments when astronauts, American and Russian, sailed the sRy but Russia, with its etmoe twins, stayed ahead.

But it was also a year of unforgettable clash when Kennedy forced the steel Industry to drop its price Increase.

It was a year the stock market frightened the nation again in May a one-day drop was tte worst since 1929. Later the market straightened out.

B was the year when the summit slid into the valley Premier Khrushchev talked it up, but this week Kennedy saw no use In a summit meeting soon,

R was also a year of one

great possibility that Russia, after its horrifying Cuban experience, may be easier to live with. Kennedy doesnt predict it.

Out of Cuba tte Russians learned, at least, the United States can be tough to tte point of war. This may make them more careful. It doesnt mean it changed them. 'They may be far tougher in a new crisis closer to hme.

The United States couldnt claim much progress In saving, with men and supplies, Viet Nam from the Cmimunists. But the Communists couldnt claim they had made much progress tndng to gobble it up.

The Red CThinese invasion of India is still a myst^ since they pulled back. It may have been a costly blunder. R would be if it drove India into the Western camp. That hasnt happened yet.

As for the (tongo tte trouble that seemed to have quieted down by last years end is bubbling up at this years end. This can be real nasty. Russia let the heat wi Berlin cool down in 1962. Its stm fairly cool.

Its now 17 years since World War n. Russia and tte West seem no nearer agreement on disarmament that ^y did then. As for a ban on^uclear testing the two sides are still waltzing like a couple of flat-foots.

businessman is in business. Nor is he in business to proride jobs for pecle. Nor Is he there to provide an endless flow of dollars, to employes and to worthy objectives. His function is to provide the goods or the services for which he went into business in tte first place. That is the only rcaswi he is there. And it is about time we began to take notice of this fact.

The businessman who Is successful is usually the one who knows how to keep his eye on tte ball. And the ball, in each instance, is his own particular business. If he manufactures automobiles. it matters very little in tte Iwig run whether he Is a great big happy, fun - filled guy. What does matter is that he produce the best automobile he can figure out how to make and sell it at the lowest possible price to as many custom- ers as possible. If he provides some other goods or service, then his main function in Ufe is to provide the best goods and the finest service he knows how. All other events in his life and times are secondary.

This is tte problem. We get so involved with tte fringe benefits of living in a ciqrftalls-ttc country, that we lose sight of tte reason f(N* the existence of any of the fringes. And before long, the fringes have become more important to us than tte basic thing that makes the

American economy great. If the man who makes a superior mouse trap, happens to beUeve the moon is made of green cheese, this in no way causes his mouse trap to be Inferior. His beliefs and ccxirictions dont really matter. Nor does it matter one bit that he refuses to assist In financing a home for displaced feUnes. His function is the mouse trap. Let that suffice. Let him coicenti^ on his own device. Everyone will benefit from that, and from that alone.

The trouble with most of us is that we Eire so tnfenuly collectivist minded. We not wily beseech the successful businessman not to be too successful, we call upon him (through government) to underwrite tte losses of his competitors. It is, as (me businessman recently pointed out, as though we asked a champion football team to be careful and win by only (me point over Its keenest rival. We want success. But we cant stand the idea of overwhelming success. Too many of us are in the habit of tiylng to get oth ers to share with us some of the fringes they may have earned. Too few of us are actually in the (MMnpetitlve arena, striving manfully to win and to win overwhelmingly against whatever odds a free market may conjure forth.

There is only one way for an economy such as ours to survive. That way will be for the men who pnxluce to concentrate upon production in an all-out manner. Let them win their victories by superior performance in the field they have chosen for themselves. And from each victory let them strive for ever greater victories. Every-one seems to want to mind ev-ery(me8 business. There are few problems in this world that couldnt or wouldnt be solved by a good dose of minding ones own affairs.

A news story told something about the CJhrlstmas party and entertainment provided by Women of the Moose for their escorts last weekend, but It couldnt begin to capture the spontaneity and fun In the event. I know; for I was there.

As one of the ladies told me, we look (m this as a sort of family affair, and of course everybody has a ball.

They have a membership large enough to Insure a wide variety of talent: some of which Is bound to fit into the field of entertainment.

This years programme of something for the boys was a panttxnime band with a varied display of pantomimed specialties. And this jrear, as In the past, their audience was dazzled and not a little proud.

The Chapters Christmas party Is lo(rfced forward to by the men, and for good reas(m. It marks the gathering of a host of friends; the food is good, the entertainment is entertaining and the atmosphere is always (me of warmth.

By HAL BOYLE

NEW YORK (AP) One of lifes little ordeals is the problem of Christmas cards.

Every year the head <rf tte house swears that this year Uie family isnt gdng to mail cards.

Waste of time and mimey, he mutters. Nobody pays any attention to them.

Well, then a few stray cards start dribbling into him, and he panics. He decides to fight back.

He ioes Into a stationery store and as he browses among the nickel cards a salesman tells him: *

D(mt you think it Is more tasteful to send a pers(malized Christmas message?

Heres a cute one showing two fat Santa Clauses trying to get down the same chimney. We can ofier this one with your name on itseasonal good wishes from Oswald J. Gill-muddy and family-for $75 a thousand. Wl you require three or four thousand?

Ill take 500, says the man of the house, feeling a bit cheap.

So he takes the 500 cards home.

A Christmas card without anything written on it seems so cbld suggeito the wife.

But what to write? After heated arguments man and spouse agree the simple thing to do is to write the same thing on every card:

The world wouldnt be tte same without you.

That says it all and commits no one to anything.

Sosupposing youre the maxi of the houseyou start addressing tte cards.

After you finish those to all you want to rememberyour close friends, your landlord, your boss, and people you owe m(Miey toyour wife looks up and remarks.

'Dear, we still have 475 left. What will we do with them?* The sensible thing would be to throw the remainder down the incinerator. But no that seems wasteful.

So you start sending them to half-forgotten people, like the Lemmings, that gay couple you met on a cndse to Bermuda in 1948.

Then 3W1 get out your old high school annual and send greetings to all the old familiar faces you knew when young.

That's better, remain y(mr wife cheerfully. Now we only have 450 left.

What to do? Your Christmas cards now become deadly weapons of good cheer. You decide to send (me to every person you ever met in life and you envy or have a grudge against.

My, this is real fun, remarks your wife. Wont they all feel guilty when they open the envelopes? I just wish I could see tte expressi(m on their faces.

When you finish this list, you find you now have only 339 cards left. What to do now?

You pick up a telephone book and begin addressing cards at random to the names therein. When the 500 (iards are finally finished, you chuck them into the nearest mailbox.

Your reward?

Before the first of January you receive In return s(ae 385 hurriedly sent New Year* cards fnn foes and total strangers bearing such messages as: The world wouldnt be the same without you either!

There is nothing quite like a C3u1stmas card to widen (mes wonderful world of fellowship.

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS WHERE WE HAPPEN TO BE

Jesus began his ministry with the declaration; Tte time is fulfilled, the kingd(Hn of God is at hand: Repent ye and believe tte gospel. (Mark 1:15).

Tte kingdom of God Is at hand. It was at hand .on that ancient day and It is at hand right now. This statement means several things. First it means that wherever Christ is there is tte kingdom. Because he was present in the world and still is, a great spiritual empire was founded which c(mtinaes to this moment to operate.

The statement also means that tte kingdom of God is right where we happen to be. The biblical assurance Is that there will someday be what Is called the consummation ot the kingdom. Someny the king

dom in all its heavenly fullness will be conferred up(xi m a n-klnd. But until that great com-summation occurs, the kingdom will be in our midst operating in the most minute and the most stupendous (drcumstances of life.

This kingdom is right where we happen to be. But. you say, I am a housewife In the kitchen and am seld(n out of It. Youre surely not talking to me. I have a $50 a week job and I dont know what day my household goods may be put out on the street. Me? Why I maintained a C average all through college,

So what? In the humblest walks of life tte dazzling spiritual enterprise of Christs king-dom is present. For all of us the kingdom is right where we happen to be.

Wave Of. Post-Christmas Sales

Eastern United States will see a great wave of sales at deeply cut prices In the next few weeks. Other sections of tte country will also see an unusual number of salea as some surplus stocks are shipped for dbqxNsal there.

Tte sales will result from the fact that total retail sales this m(th are dismally below expectations.

Christmas sales this year wer expected to set a new high marie. Because of high consumer Income and tte stock market recovery, total retail sales were forecast around $25 billion in December, a new all-time monthly high. They were $22.9 biUloQ in December, 1961.

But tte bitter cold wave aoroas the eastern part of the country and newspaper strikes In New York and CSevtiand retarded Christmas shopping and a lot of other spending. WAREHOUSES UNEMPTIED Most stores, had ardered

I

/

goods in anticipation of heavy demand. Now that this demand has paled, stocks are heavy and stores will be forced to mark down prices, even to loss levels, or transahlp goods at even lower pricM. Transshipping is tte sale of goods to storM in other localities. Transshipped merchandise often goes to discount houses.

The strikes and the cold kept pe(H}le from knowing what was ava^ble and from going out to explore. But tte effects did not end there.

The Florida vegetable crpp and much of Ita orange crop were ruined. This cut income not only in Florida but throughout the fruit and vegetable diatrl-bution sjrstem.

Railroad and truck earnings were cut by the torm. 8o were motels and hotels.

In New York several Broadway shows folded. Tte Clyde Beatty-Coles Bros. Combined Circus, which brought circus to New Yoik In tte winter as an experiment, was hard hit. Movie theaters, two with big pre

mieres. are finding this a bust week instead of a boom week. Night clubs, unable to get news of new acts .about, are suffering.

New Years Eve reservations are lagging, but there Is still time to catch up.

CUTS INCOME

Gevelands theaters, restaurants and movies were hit even harder as snow drifts impeded traffic. Otter cities on the eastern seaboard were also hit, but at least they had newspapers and shopperi who did not want to dare tte dold could order by phone.

There ar some gains: radio and television advertising has increased heavily in tte struck cities and to some extent in the rest of the cold belt. Smaller newspapers In the struck areas blossomed out with opportunistic imltati(Ni8 of the larger papers. Magazines sales Jumped. Some neighborhood theaters did record business.

But in total, spendable Income was reduced throughout the chilled area and alashdd in the

strike-beset cities. And with less income, less information about sales, and more difficulty in get-to stores, December sales, which include the bulk of gift Purcha^s, ar# certain to be disappointing.

GEORGE M. COHAN RULE DIIS WITH THE NEW YEAR

Tax ^countants for yeara have talked about the Cohan ^e. It was named for George M. Cohan, the Yankee Doodle^ tctor. The Internal Revenue tervloe tagged him on an Income tax return because he estimated hla spending for en-tortalnment and raatoig public appearances.

He fought tte case to tte Supreme Court, which said that people who must live well, tip well and entertain well cannot bo made into bookkeepers.*

But In ttUMrflng new laws covering Income tax deductions. Congress specially provided, tho^h not in 80 many worda, that taxpayers can be made Into bookkeepers. And so the Cohan rule passes into legal history.
