Room For Hope That Agreement Possible

The apparent about-face by Premier Khrushchev on the matter of on-site inspection of nuclear test facilities suggests again the deepening of differences between the Soviet Union and the Red Chinese.

It suggests also that the Soviet Premier is now anxious to bring about an effective ban on nuclear testing before Red China moves into the field of

A Difference In 2 Houses

me

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES DIFFERENCETheres another striking difference between the two houses of North Carolinas bicameral General Assembly which convenes for its 1963 session early in February.

The 120-member House of Representatives has been reapportioned to comply with the clear mandate of the state constitution, and the State Senate has not. This fact will bring about one of the major Issues of the sessionredlstricting of the Smate.

It was sidestepped in 1961, but Senate redistricting is a matter which must be faced now. The . S. Supreme Court has ruled that if state legislatures refuse and fail to redistrict the federal courts may do it. The specter of a suit in federal court to redistrict the Senate thus hangs over the 1963 General Assembly.

AGREBThere is virtually unanimous agreement among both Representatives and Senators, among Democrat and Republican, that Senate redistricting this time is a must.

There are predictions that ome redistricting proposals will be among the first pieces of legislation introduced. It is very likely that there will be several plans of varying hues and that a final, acceptable one must be hammered out painfully in committee.

On the other hand, it is regarded as entirely possible that a satisfactory soluticm might be offered at the outset and enacted in a surprisingly short space of time. Those who mention this point out the obvious advantages it would have in getting on with other legislative business.

STUDYIt is known that at least two plans for Senate redistricting are near the final drafting stage and presumably could be introduced in the first week of the session. Other ideas are being studied by Individual lawmakers.

Governor Sanford, who supported Senate redistricting in the 1961 session, has told newsmen he does not plan to offer specific redistricting legislation that his office is not woridng <m a specific redistricting plan.

I prefer to leave the method to the General Assembly, the governor said. He expressed , confidence that ultimately the legislature will redistrict the Senate. Its just a question of how and of getting to it. I have no doubt but that it will be done.

Sen. Claude Currie of Durham is mentioned as one of the legislative leaders who has definite Senate redistricting proposals in his pocket, said to be similar to those offered and finally beaten down in 1961. But there are other plansthose including both area and population, and even on a basis of the number of active voters.

TASKThe task of redistricting the Senate plainly is

Even so, there appears at this moment to be grounds for greater optimism that a test ban agreementwith realistic guaranteesmay be reached

by the United States and the Soviets.

or trade they try will be permanent.

Greenville is full of successful business and professional men who, for one reason or another, moved to their new fields of endeavor.

George Saieed, smiling proprietor of Carolina Grill on Dickinson Ave., was at one

more difficult than reapportioning of House seats. There may be argument as to why this is so, but on the face of it dividing the states population by 120 and allotting the result to 100 counties is easier than dividing by 50 and fitting that result into 50 districts of one or more counties. It proved so as a practical, political matter anyway.

House reapportionment was done this way:

Onslow, Cumberland, Alamance and Mecklenburg counties each gained one seat in lesuzig ueiure rveu v.^xuiia iiiuvea mtu Liie izeiu ui p A T VTKI T* A VT

Pitt and Buncombe each lost one seat. Mecklenburg had had four representatives and now has five. Buncombe had three and now has two. Cumberland went from two to three. Onslow and Alamance each went from one representative to two. Cabarrus and Pitt dropped from two to one.

REPLIESReplies to a legislative survey questionnaire sent to all members of the 1963 General Assembly indicated a concern about solving the sticky Senate problem.

Sen. Hector McLean of Lum-berton said he felt probably the biggest and most cwitro-verslal issue will be legislative reapportionment. Rep. William G. Reid of Pilot Mountain listed Senate redistricting as perhaps the most urgent legislative item. So did Rep. Claude M. Hamrick of Winston-Salem.

Rep. John T. Herley of Cumberland County listed Senate redistricting in importance with such matters as Higher Education, public utilities laws and highway safety.

Rep. C. E. Leatherman of Lincolnton said I am especially interested in senate redistricting because I think the greater mass of people should have greater representation.

SOLVEIn order for each senator to represent an equal number of people, redistricting is imperative, said Sen. Oral L. Yates of Haywood County.

Sen. Ira T. Johnston of Jefferson noted that reapportion-ment of the State Senate will no doubt come up. Since I represent the smallest or one of the smallest districts as far as population goes perhaps my po-sitiwi will be scrutinized. I do not think that any of us should be selfish when we consider ttds issue. Perhaps the number of folks who vote in each district should be taken into consideration as well as the population. More than 20,000 voters cast their ballots in the contest between my opponent and myself in the November election. I think this is a larger number of voters than went to the polls in a number of other Senatorial districts.

One Eastern North Carolina senator, who declines to be quoted by name, said, I am very much interested in the manner in which the Senate should be redistricted. I fell that this should be done on both area and population basis.

WASHINGTON (AP) How does President Kennedys record look after two years? Overseas he had one spectacular success, one spectacular failure. Both involved Cuba. At home he has had some successes, a number of failures.

His leadership, like President Eisenhowers has been best in foreign affairs. Thanks to that, and to this countrys belated realization of its missile superiority, there has been a hew self-confidence In dealing with communism,

Kennedy has remained highly popular. There are two good reasons: his acute sense of public relaticms and Ms usually ^moderate positions, wMch 'means a reluctance to antagtm-ize groups or individuals.

He has given the presidency a great sense of life and hustle. But theres a deep difference between activity and leadersMp.

The result: he got much less than he asked or said he wanted, like federal aid to education and medical care for the aged.

So far there has been a greater sense of economic stability under Kennedy than under Eisenhower. In Eisenhowers two terms there were three recessions. Kennedy had to clean up the last of them.

In foreign affairs there have been no sensational improvements. Perhaps it would be better to say: no long - range improvements that are definitely visible. But anyone who expected tMs was unrealistic. Kennedy didnt promise it.

In Ms inaugural two years ago Sunday he said the overseas dilemmas might not be solved in his lifetime. In that inaugural he dwelt entirely ci seeking solutl(His abroad. He didnt even mention problems at home.

In view of what followed tMs was significant. He apparently didnt consider domestic needs so pressing. Then later he went far less than all-out for some

of the programs he promised in the 1960 campaign. So, Ccm-gress ignored them.

Why did tMs happen when Kennedys own Democrats ran Congress and in numbers overwhelmed the Republicans? Both parties, despite campaign talk, are mainly conservative except in moments, like New Deal days, of grinding urgency.

And, when there appears to be a national complacency, this conservatism is fortified.

When Kennedy took office the country although in recession and with large unemployment still had fairly high income. It was. Judging from the absence of any insistent al cry for new directions, rather easy about it all.

Kennedy seemed to reflect this absence of urgency. He didnt make any knock - down, drag-out fight for programs, like medical care, wMch would have meant new directions.

He stuck to Ms promise to try to get the country moving again. He did this through a number of remedies wMch Congress approved. They were not basically new.

Still, the eccmomy is far from moving In highest gear. So tMs year Kennedy is asking Congress to cut taxes to give the economy a lift. This is where he runs into the conservatives again. It isnt clear how much heU fight for tMs.

American missile superiority, now clearly established although it was probably acMeved In Eisenhowers time, has chilled sdme of Premier Khrushchevs belligerency. He even Is beginning to sound moderate, at least compared with the past. * This was one of the two things which apparently improved relations with Moscow. The other was the realization of Kennedys determinatl(m in leadership. The example: forcing Khrushchev to yank his missiles out of Cuba.

Still unexplained and still in-(Contlnued on page five)

(Hendersott Dispatch)

Most of the known cases in which professional gamblers or their representatives have paid or offered to pay college basketball players to alter tbe out-. c(Hne of certain games* have been cleared up. A few charges are still pending, but the cases have been aired and those arsons likely to face prison or fines have already been sentencedleaving tbe likeliboodo f probation in the cleanup trials. But just while college basketball is getting settled again, some ugly rumors have cropped up in professional football and basketball. No actual bribery cases have been brought to light thus far, but certain players In both sports have been accused of keeping czMUpany with per-SM1S considered undesirable by officials who want to keep the sitoria completely above suspi-cicm.

It is impossible at this stage to predict what might turn up. We hope, for the good of all atMetics, there will be no evidence at wrongdoing; but regardless. of tbe outcome, some steps will be necessary to prevent any further hint of a possible scandal. Already, players and heads of at least one pro basketball club are protesting a ruling by the league president that players will be held responsible for the company they keep and for places they frequent when not with the club group. TMs action may sound drastic, but It may be needed to keep public confldence In the game from slipping.

Major league baseball was reeling under Impact of the infamous Black Sox bribery scandal some four decades ago when club heads hired the late Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis as commiBsicmer and gave him alm(^ unlimited power to rule over everyone connected

with tbe big leagues. Judge Landis nUed with an iron hand, and it wasnt long until he had won lull respect of players and fans. As a result baseball threw oit its dark cloud and regained its Mace in competitive sports.

Professional football has grown by leaps and bounds in recoit years, and pro basketball has earned itself a strong following In some cities. But either or both of these sports could quickly fall to pieces if gamblers and receptive players ever undermine the confidence of spectators. Nobody wants to cheer for a team that might win or lose according to wishes of the underworld.

Colleges have taken many steps to keep their atMetes away frcmi undesirable cmtacts, and the pnrfessionals may have to do likewise If they are to survive. The best move would be for partteipants to police themselves and stay away from persons or places that might bring on gossip; otherwise it wUl take another Judge Landis to set and maintain a straight course.

College basketball has over-c<wne two periods of scandal (e about ten years ago and another within the past year and several attempts by gamblers to gain control of football have been Mpped in the bud. But every case makes the comeback harder. Bribery cannot succeed if athletes of all ages will be guided by decent moral standards and turn their backs on perscxis who would willingly corrupt the lives of normally clean young men for a few dollars of perscmal gain. Gambling probably cannM be stamped out, but bribery can and mustbeto protect sports for the millions of people who care.

lauranl on Fifth Street, was once a laboratory techziiclan. In fact, he met his wife while he worked in Louisburg and. with a growing family, decided to enter business.

One of Greenvilles newest attorneys was once with GE Credit here. He was transferred to another town, and then succumbed to a calling to the law. He entered law school and upon graduating returned to Greenville to become associated with Louts Gaylord Jr.

Three highly successful In-surancemen here started out in different occupations. W. M. Scales Jr. was once a parts man with Flanagan Buggy Co. He was asked to try life Insurance and sold a handful of policies the first day. His has been a success story ever since.

Another is Louis Collie, who graduated from East Carolina College and taught school for a year before entering the insurance business. Both these men last year not only exceeded the million dollar mark so coveted by life Insurance-men, they actually sold over $2 million each.

Still another insuranceman. Prank Strawn, was In the plumbing supply business for years. Launching a successful career in insurance, he has since become area manager for his company.

Herbert Lee is now executive secretary for Home Savings and Loan but Mlowtng college he entered the diplomatic service with the State Department.- In this capacity he traveled far and wide throughout the world before returning to Greenville and Home Savings.

There are, of course, hundreds of examples in Greenville and in every other dty, just as there are those who decided as youngsters on their life work and never wavered.

There is, however, a lesson In this for the young man or young woman who will enter the working world this spring. Don't be afraid to try that which interest^ you. Probably you'll like it, bUt if you dont, a second chance is nearly always availaMe.

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS PERHAPS WE CAN DO IT

Many years ago a young man wrote a book on the advantages of free enterprise and contrasted this system with the unnatural regulations imposed by socialism. He offered his book to publishers but they would not accept it. Finally he had it published at his own expense. One day some unknown person mailed a copy to the great Chinese leader Dr. Sun Yat-sen, who at that time was a devoted adherent of socialism.

The Chinese leader was giving a series of lectures in the United States at that time showing the advantages of sociMism and communism. Upon receiving the book he suddenly cancelled the six remaining lectures of h I s series. Some months later he re-tcrned to the same platform and turned to' the same platform and he began a series of lec

tures vastly different from those he had previously given. He pointed out the weakness of .socialism and the evils of communism. Prom that time forth he was a solid and intelligent defender of free enterprise as it is known and practiced in Western Europe and the Western Hemisphere.

No one, will ever Imow who it was that sent the Chinese leader that book. It was a daily good deed wMch someone performed and by so doing changed the history (if Ms era. Today the great work wMcb Dr. Sun Yat-sen began has fallen apart and the world observes the spectacle of a divided CMna, the largest part of which, geographically, is under the domhoa-tion of communism. But we hope for better things as the years roll on.

You or I may become a factor In changing world history. Who knows?

By ELMER ROESSNER The use of temporary employees is rising. It is going up so fast that some unions are trying to get contract clauses to block it.

Fringe benefit costs are going up. So are overtime rates. So are costs of payroll bo<^-keeping and personnel records. A way out easier than suicide Is hiring temps.

One company points out that a permanent, full-time clerk hired at $70 a week costs about $92. Fringe benefits. Social Security, Federal and state insurance payments, payroll handling, bookkeepMg and hiring costs account for the difference.

But a girl of equivalent competence can be hired for about $84 a week from a temporary agency. And, it * points out, a single check can cover the service of from one to 100 employees each week.

SAVINGS ON OVERTIME Furthermore, it Is never necessary to pay overtime rates to temporaries, if properly

managed. Overtime is costly in most compaMes. Some pay premium rates. Those that dont usually give supper m(X)ey or other benefits. But having temporaries come in at specified times eliminates overtime.

There are two other major benefits. Employers never have to pay for time lost by lateness or by sickness. The latter can be very expensive. Many companies carry sick or injured employees on payrolls for mcmths at n time. Temps are never paid for absences.

Even more Important, temporaries are (Ufllcult to unkm-Ize. Sotpe of them want to work cHily two or three days week; others want to. worii only In mornings, afternoons or evenings. One of the best secretaries I ever knew wmild work only when she was not appearing In or trying out for a stage play.

SPEOAL SKILLS

Some agencies specialize - in furnishing temporaries with unusual skills. For example, Mar

Some of the temps are interesting women (and men).

As the Bolshoi Ballet packs up in New York to return home to the Soviet Union, two American dance comimMes, Qetuge Balanchines City C^ter performers and the Martha Graham troupe ccune bade from a series " of stands In Iron Curtain countries and natiaos just this side of the great poUtical dividing line. Though nobody speaks very openly oi propaganda in cm-nectlon with the great competl-_ tlon of the dancers, it Is quite obvious that both the Soviets and tbe United States have been using pirouettes, entrechats and the more modem techniques of contractlon-and-release In the battle for mens minds.

At first inspectloD it may eeem a Uttle silly to suppose that dancing, which is a lang-ttage of movement, can convey anything oi Importance in the way (tf pdltical staten^t. But there are subtle overtones in this battle oi comparative dance techniques, and both tbe . S. and Soviet politicaj auttxMlties think they get something of value by sending their dancers abroad. *

Just where does the balance actually lie in this esoterio branch of pditical C(dd Warfare? Having watched the Bolshoi Ballet reccny in New Tortc. I think the advantage must go to tbe Americans. The Bolshoi dancers are remarkable, no doubt about it; there is a mighty power to their leaps, and a crliq> precision to everything th^ do. But what do they bring to America beyond their technique?

The answer is that iey bring a whiff old Imperial Russia. They dance the Nineteenth Century fairy tales tbe Swan Lakes and the Oiselles with all tbe old magic. But when they try to adapt the mannered elegance of traditional ballet to proletarian themes, the results are comic. So. in the cultural battle for mms minds, Khrushchevs ballerinas prove nothing beyond the fact that tbo Soviets have to fall back on a creaUon (A tbe time of the RomanMf dynastry when they want to impress forelgnerB.

With BalancMne and Martha Graham, however, the Russians. tbe Serbs and the Poles have been treated to soowthlng that proves the non-S o v 1 e t world continiKs to be freshly inventive and,adaptaMe. To-Russian audiences. Balanchine shows that traditional ballet technique can be c<xnMned with an the new discoveries in movement that have grown out of the modem dance. As for Martha Graham, she has taken to certain countries .of the Old World a number of remarkable modem interpretations of their oldest legends.

In Israel, for example, she recently staged a tremradous group performance of something that had been commlsdoned by Israel, Legend of Judith. Then, in a long tour that moved from Ankara in Turkey, to Athens in Greece, to Zagreb and Belgrade in Titos Yngoelavla, to Poland and Sweden and Finland, she took other dances from her wide and inventive repertoire. In Athens she aston-isbed the Greeks with the in-tenrity of her dan< verskns oi their own ancient drama: the citizens of Athens would not have believed that the values oi Aeschylus and Sophocles could be enhanced by filtering them through a choreogTM^ bom of the American modem dance. Miss Grahams CSytemnestra* brought down the bouse in Athens even as it had on Broadway in New Yoric. And when she and her company danced it all over again in Zagreb, in Communist Yugoslavia, they chanted her name in the streets and gave her a salute that is normally reserved for dictator^ Tito.

It may be fandful to suppose that any of this is of grei^ moment, propagfoidistkially iq>eek-ing. But where the BMshol Bal-i let proves to Americans that the* Imperial Russia of the Cars could produce something oi beauty and hand on its traditloa to proletarian usurpers, the trai-velling American danoe companies show that the democratic and capitalist western worid is still busy spinning off new and adventurous thtngs.

So. on this one small sector of tbe Cold War propaganda front, we are ahnoet oertakily gettMg tbe best of someUttng^ that is euphemistically called w cultural exchange. WoulC that our ^experts In poUtieal-warfare could do as well in. bigger ttiiiiga.

Rising

One interesting git)up is the retreads, women who were onca^ crack office woricers and wboi having reared their families or lost tbeir husbands, want to work part time only.

Another group consists of those on man hunts. d

woridng in an offlee where all the men are married, they prefer to work In short spelte in various places in the hope that on one Job theyll meet the enr they want to go Into orbit with.

Not all temps are glainorous types. Now and then an employer may find a girl who can work only two or trree days a week be^se the rest of the time sre. is in an alcoholic stupor. Or he may find a girl who cannot apply for a steady Job because her past will not stand too searching an investigation, v*.

The agencies do investigate their employees, but they are Inclined to concentrate more on what a girl can turn out be* tween 9 and 5 p.m. today thaik. oir where she was on JanuaifL 21. five years ago.
