Study In Budge

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES

DECISIONSArriving at biennial budget recommenctetions for the legtelature admittedly Is one of the toughest jobs in tate government.

But the eight men directly charged with* this workfor 1963-65 generally agree that there were fewer headaches this time.

The budget that will be presented by Gov. Terry Sanford this week represents more than six months of work and study. There were also more requests for more money this time than ever before, and the total recommended for appropriations W'ill be a record.

Not all the requests could be filled. Quite a few requests of various state agencies and de-partments had to be turned down. But all in all, the job of coming up with a balanced budget was easier. The reason is simple. There was more money available.

TASKSThe decisions that must be reached in preparing budget recommendations certainly involve more people and more money than anything else that Is brought before the General Assembly.

The budget traditionally Is the single most important business of a North Carolina legislature. It requires more time and attention.

The recommendations themselves are subject to line-by-line scrutiny and debate, and subject to final approval by the lawmakers. But in themselves the proposed budget items carry considerable weight and authority.

Putting these on paper for legislative consideration is a long and tedious task, and in their final form the budget documents placed before a General Assembly are the responsibility of eight men.

MENSix of these eight are the members of the Advisory Budget Commission, the workhorses of the administrations fiscal policies.

This years budget documents were drafted by a Commission headed by veteran state legislator Thomas H. Woodard of Wilson and including as members State Sens. Thomas J. White of KinstMi, James G. Stikeleather. Jr. of Asheville, Reps. J. Shelton Wicker of Sanford, Ralph H. Scott of Burlington and E. D. Gaskins.

The governor himself Is exofficio director of the budget and the budget recommendations are. in effect, those of the? governor. Sanford has the final say, and will support the recommendations in his biennial budget message to the legislature.

Sanfords chief advisor in budget matters is director of administration and actin budget director Hugh Cannon.

There are others, or course, who assisted and made various contributions, but the budget proposals in reality are the Product of the thinking of these eight men.

AII>-The fact that the state anticipates a surplus of slightly more than $100 million at the end of the current bienniimi jnile the job easier,

"his surplus was not apparent last summer when the agency and department requests for more money began piling up, when the Advisory Budget Commission conducted its study tours of the state visiting various institutions and hearing budget requests to meet needs.

The process of blueprinting the budget was kept flexible until the last, and to some extent still is dependent upon the condition of the state.s economy during the next few months. The budget proposals to a legislature convening in Febniary, however, must be based on estimates and available Indicators rather than on hard cash in the bank.

This, in reality, is one reason why North Carolinas General Assembly now meets in February instead of January as in the past. The convening date was changed four years ago to enable budget-planners to have the benefit of later and more reliable budget estimates.

PRESENT Cannon, as an administration budget spokesman. believes the budget proposals are fair, and In fact generous, and just as important, are realistic.

After the basic data on available money and needs for appropriations were gathered, Cannon says, the Job of budgeting boiled down to a matter of picking and choosing."

No budget apparently can satisfy everybody, nor fill all the needs, he said. When re-<iuests exceed available funds, there must be some that are turned down. This had to be the case this time.

whether these recommendations are followed and state funds spent for the preserv^ation program.

Citizens of the eastern section of the state are particularly aware of the importance of-the Outer Banks and the need for preventing their, destruction. We trust a majority of the legislators will lend their support to the request of the Outer Banks gy PATRICIA MOORE Commission for appropriations to begin the needed work on the sand isla,nds.

Relative Quie Along Potomac

Touching All The

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP)This is the time of year when Americans examine the Presidents proposals to Congress, Congress squirms and squawks and the fighting begins. There have been times when it looked like guerrilla war.

Not this year. This year therets, .comparati Washington.

It could be argued that the attention of everybody President, Congress and public has been distracted by events overseas, as It has so many times in the past.

But this year, unlike other years, there are no major East-West crises.

There are only jumbles and mixups at the moment with France and Candano matter how serious they become later, or uneasy suspicionswith Cubaand concern about the Russian men and weapons there.

These various distractions still dont explain why President Kennedys proposals havent given Congress a fever. The real reason seems to lie both with Kennedy and Congress.

He took the edge off his programs, before he even offered them, in public statements he made before Congress came back here to do its 1963 business.

He did it when, in talking of some of the programs he had In mind like medical care for the aged, he indicated he thought they might not get very far this year. This was pretty good evidence he wouldnt fight all-out for most of them.

That, and one other thing.

He emphasized early his real

ly big pitch this year would be in trying to get Congress to reduce and revise taxes. By itself this could be interpreted as telling Congress not to worry, that he didnt expect a lot.

When his tax proposal did go upas the major legislation of the yearit got the expected scrutiny and the usu-

time anyone, including the President, suggests cutting taxes without a budget balance.

The educa;|;ion bill, as usual, got a mixed reception but an unusually quiet one although it seemed to include practically everything involving help to education except a supply of Mother Goose books.

Against protests that this huge bill is too hugethat it should have been sent to Congress in separate pieces which, separately might have a better chance an administration spokesman, knovdng Congress will do the opposite, insisted it must be considered as a whole.

When all this is taken into considerationand so far its all routinethere remains the likelihood Congress wont exert itself in 1963, certainly not after Kennedy Indicated his intentions were mild.

Its been strange to see a president short-circuit some of the things he wants before he even unfolded them. And when he doesnt fight hard, as he didnt for his medical ^program

The best way to prove It Is to observ^e the newspapers.

When we informed her that changes in weather, such as cold to very cold, or cool to very waiTO," seemed ^ gnr hami br hand with an increase in deaths, she raised her eyebrows. '

Other Editors Saying... The High Command

(Christian Science Monitor)

If there is a more serious subject than that which a Senate group under Senator Jackson is tackling, it would be hard to find. This subject is the structure and operation of the high command, and of command decision, in the United States in time of crisis.

Without heat, and with a manliest desire to be helpful, Senator Jackson said that President Kennedy had exercised virtual one-man direction of the Cuban affair. He questioned whether this could work in a prolonged

crisis. He asked whether a spe-these past two years, he does- ^ cial task force taken by the

nt figure to get much.

Washington rumpuses of 1963 will probably take other directions, as is happening now In the Republican attacks on the administration for what its doing, or failing to do, about Russian men and weapons in Cuba.

President from the executive committee of the National Security Council would likewise break down in time of prolonged crisis.

And he made it plain that the very use of Improvised leadership like this raised serious questions about the regular machinery. Why was the National Security Council too cumbersome to be useful? Why did the President virtually bypass it?

The Jackson group seem not to have been d(matic. Their first report (they plan hearings on this complex subject later in the year) recognized that strong leadership was necessary and that the President in fact exercised it in the case of Cuba. The outcome was successful. But they doubted this high concentration of leadership was good for the long run, or practical for more than short spurts of crisis.

One aspect of the Jackson report Is especially disquieting. Behind the successful direction from the rocking chair in the main Cuban crisis was the shadow of the Bay of Pigs. Those

who studied that episode closely. to determine what went wrong, came to the conclusion that the President's methods of leadership, his informal talks with selected infoiTnal groups of advisers "tossing the ball" back and forth, had somehow drakv ed the sense of responsibility out of the exercise. What was lacking was the awesome sense of obligation when the head of a great government department wa^ asked, under the old stilted and excessively formal procedures, what was his recommendation and his departments and what were the arguments to support it Most of us as onlookers had understood that an effort would be made to restore the sense gf responsibility.

It must have been done somehow, for the President seemed to have better facts and advice in his hands during the big Cuban crisis. There was, after all, some link to the Security Council through having the task force drawn from its executive committee. Until now, we had assumed the structure had been repaired. But Senator Jackson, rightly or wrongly, says that It has not, and that the present mixture of formal and informal support given to a president who centralizes a huge undertaking In himself, Is not good machinery.

We all must be as tentative as Senator Jackson has been. But this is the peoples government and with all the advantages of vigorous leadership from the President, who must speak the final word, it Is Important* that the government shcjild not center too exclusively, or with unbearable weight, on one peraonallty.

It's been a good feeling to turn on the radio and hear, on national news broadcasts, that the huge new Voice of America facility is opening officially In GREENVILLE, N. C. on Friday.

Though GreenvUle has always been on the niap for those who live here. It has also always been a bit exasperating to get mail'ffiarhasbecn mBseT to Greenville. S. C. presumably because thats just a bigger and belter known town nationally.

Well, we'll bet they dont do that so much any more.

At any rate, an office contemporary theorized that those who like Greenville and who take pride in their community may show evidence of said feelings by showing off Greenville (N.C.i a bit.

Mailing a copy of the Voice of America edition, which comes out today, could be a way of promoting the Greenville image."

The Inevitable Federal aid-to-education proposal has gone from the White House to Congress, and shortly we will ce witnessing the usual attempt to discredit oppements of such a^d as mean - spirited reactionaries Who want people to be, kept in ignorance. But nobody has yet offered any real proof that there is at present an "enrollment crisisin the American school world; local communities have been building schools like mad for fifteen years. And nobody has offered any good reason to suppose that these communities, save for a few benighted or poverty-stricken pockets, will not be able to meet and master the enrollment crises of the future.

the college level the Illusion of an Immediate enrollment cEfeis exists because of the phenomenon of multiple ap-plicatiiHis. Thousands of student try to crash the portals of th *Ivy League Institutions, for example; But after the turn-downs, which are heart - rending in some cases, the unsuccessful applicants salve their wounded egos by going to smaller, less famous private institutions or to the big State universities which are compelled by law to give local high school graduates a chance to show their worth. If the students who have been "bumped along" by the Ivy League and the other top-drawer univer.sl-tles are truly college material, thpy can get very good educations in the less glamorous places.

As for the theory that the Federal government must move to meet an estimated $23 billion deficiency in college facUitle for 1970, this. too. is an Illusion. We shall, of course, need expanded accommodatiwis to take care of the education-hungry generations. But virtually every local or State community has within itself the means of antlciitlng the future in this matter of providing for education. I think of the growth of little Quinnipiac CoUege. in Hamden. Conn.. a town not far from where I live? It was started by an energetic group of local business men led by a per^ tinacicms educator named Samu-rt-Tator- JEhe_ group J)egftn.ln 1929 by offering business courses to fifty students in some rooms on the second floor of an office building. Now, with a millicai-doUar campus of its own and a vastly broadened curriculum which Includes a t w o-year program in the liberal arts, the college has 1,500 students, drawn from a 75-mlle commuting radius.

The point of this Uttle success story is that Quinnipiac College has managed to finance Itself almost entirely out of tuition In all the thirty - four years of its existence it has had only $20.000 in gifts.

It managed to grow, and to keep in the black whUe growing. by resisting the craze to build its own dormitories: its own students have either lived at home or provided for their own lodging in the neighborhood, just as-students in continental European universities have been doing for centuries. Quinnipiac hopes in the near future to move to a bigger campus, complete with dormitories, on land which it has acquired In the nearby countryside, but this is a story that Is still to be written. The college, seduced by the timespirit, would probably be willing to borrow federal funds for dormitory constitic-tlon if they are forthcoming, but the entire past history of this bootstrap institution is dramatic evidence that federal funds are not necessary to increase a community's educational facilities.

Moving, in my minds eye. down the coast of Cwinectlcut, I think of another experiment In local self-help, the Norwalk Community College, which, for Its classrooms, utilizes the space of the local Brien McMahon High School from 3 oclock in the afternoon to well Into the evening. The Norwalk Community College Is staffed by Ph.Ds who have jobs in the technological branches of nearby industry and by partially retired teachers who, for one reason or ^ another, are willing to take on

a course or two. I visited this college last Sprinfi;, and was struck by the esprit de corps of both students and faculty. And, in visiting it, 1 heard something about the communl-(Contlnued on page five)

Operating Motel Is Big Business

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS FATHER OF THE FAITHFUL

One of the great biblical characters was Abraham. He is referred to in the Bible as the father of the faithful. It was he who first recognized the value of religious faith and cherished that type of religious faith which we today either possess or strive after.

Before that day, man had put a certain inferior type of faith in idols, but this was an offense in Abrahams sight. He could not stand the idolatry of the people with whom he lived in Ur of the Chaldes. He left seeking both better land and an atmosphere in which he could find God, live in an atmosphere of fellowship with God, feel those qualities oi char

acter growing within him which made him truly a man.

Abraham is a very ancient figure. We turn and look back at him and we can scarcely see J)is figure standing against the horizon. But he is there, and we are all better for what he desired, thought, and did. He had a genius for faith. He was not satisfied with idolatry or with superficial religion. There was a God in heaven whose presence could be realized even up(Mi the earth, and Abraham was restless until he found God. To this very hour, Abraham touches our lives and lifts them up helpfully.

For there is nothing so wonderful as a life sustained and inspired by religious faith, and Abraham was the father of the faithful. .

' There may still be places in America where a supple couple can build or take over a small motel and earn a modest profit to carry them on.

There are still opportunities near small resort towns, In fishing areas, on well - traveled secraidary roads and other spots. But motel operatim is now big business. Unless the small businessman has a choice spot unknown to the giants, he might just as well challenge Standard Oil or General Motors.

HOTELS AT BAY The growth of the national motel chains, such as Holiday Inns. TraveLodge and Howard Johnson has j^rced even hotel

giants, such a Hilton and Sheraton, to take to the road.

The independents have been forced to unite in referral groups, such as Quality Courts and Best Western Motel, which act like chains in making reservations for each other and buy and advertise co-operatively.

The cost of a model motel today, with its TV tower anten* na, its swimming pool, its coffee shop and, perhaps, its cocktail lounge, are so large that few single investors can swing a deal. However, corporate investments and franchises per-the little fellow to at least dabble In the motel pool. HIL-rON, SHERATON LEAD ,

The trade magazine rates the chains with Hilton on top, with $230 million in annual sales and 31,000 rooms, followed by Sheraton, Holiday bins, Best Western, Quality Courts and Master Hosts. The last three are cooperative referral groups.

New investment money is tight. Institutions reports. The number of rooms has been in

creasing twice as fast as demand and Investors are cautious.

Patrons, it finds, are f&lling into two general groups: the vacationist who wants everything. including kidney-shaped swimming pools and the "siml-executive" or traveling salesman who wants a $5-a-night room. Chains are filling the latter needs, the magazine finds, notably the TraveLodge franchisees.

THE POOL DRAINS The granddaddy of all motel status symbols,'the swimming pool, has taken a sharp decline in popularity, Institutions says. "But you have to have one, even if they dont use it, aa one motel operator says. Apparently, a motel without a swlmr ming pool is like a castle without a moat. Not necessary, but expected.
