Falls Just Ahead-

Lines Foi Piima ry Being Drawn

Mounting signs now point to a Democratic Party gubernatorial prima^ drawn between candidates which purportedly will represent the liberar' and the conservative* wings of the party.

Rapid developments in the past week have drawn politicians toward an earlier-than-normal climax to what might be one of the classic party struggles for the Democratic nomination in the history of the state. sj

Dan Moore of Canton, a corporation lawyer and billed as a representative of the conservative" elements of the party already has his hat in the ring. There are persisting reports that negotiations are still underway to have I. Beverly Uke, arch conservative candidate of three years ago, to abandon his own campaign plans to join the Moore

There have been few occasions in which gubernatorial con-, tenders have announced their candidacies so early. A heated contest is e|)viou8ly in the makings and the already chargd political atmosphere could

For the moment, at least, it appears that issues rather than personalitiesmay play a more prominent role in the Democratic gubernatorial campaign next year than has been the case in many years.

camp.

On the other side of the fence the strategists appear to be trying to decide between former party Chairman Bert Bennett of Winston-Salem and Judge Richard Preyer of Greensboro to represent the more liberal" elements of the party in the gubernatorial contest.

It is unlikely, in our opinion, that both Bennett and Judge Preyer will become candidates for the Democratic nomination. It is also doubtful, in our opinion, that many more days will pass before one of them bows out in favor of the other.

But this is early September, and even with two principal contenders in the race, the door cannot

New Industry Adds New Asset For City

Warlick Sees

!!^lateau Today

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES

RALEIGH Circling tb# square;

Scratch the name of federal Judge Wilson Warlick of New-ton as possible gubernatorial timber.

His name was suggested and the veteran jurist given hearty endorsement last week by editor J. P. Huskins of the Statesville Record snd Landmark.

This was done in an editorial column wtch contained the now widely-quoted summation:

"Tom Pearsall is too far east. Dan Moore is too far west. Rlc-hardsoo Preyer Is too far left. Beveily Lake Is too far right.

"But Wilson Warlick is a solid, seasoned man. tempered by war, depression and prosperity, extreme in nothing but exact in sverythlng."

WARLICK Judge Warlick, now 71. expressed appreciation for Huaklns' endorsement and the resulting interest but said be could not undertske "any such proposition."

It is a little known fact but Wilson Warlick was at one time, briefly, a candidate for governor of North Carolina. This was more than two decades ago.

Prienda prevailed upi him to run for governor and he made on announcenient of candidacy, then withdrew from the race. He was one of the best known attorneys hi the state, then served as a superior court judge for 19 years before appointment to the federal judiciary in 1949.

While declining to become a candidate himself. Judge Warlick had observations on the 1964 campaign for governor.

"I believe the p(K>ple of North Carolina want a conservaUve now," he said. "Many of the things done by the Sanford administration have been outstanding, but In politics, as In everything else, sometimes it's necessary to sit in the shade awhile and catch your breath.

"I believe weve reached that plateau In North CaruUna now."

Judge Warlick said he felt that both Dan K Moore of Sy-Iva or Judge Richardson Preyer of Greensboro "would make good men."

JUDGES Until the announcement by Dan Moore last week It had been nearly 12 years since a judge or former judge bad become a candidate for governor of North Carolina.

The last occasion was in 1952. Judge Hubert OUve of Lexkigton ran for the office with the active support of then Gov. W. Kerr Scott and lost to WU-Uam B. Umstead of Durham, backed by conservaUve. old

line elements of the party.

Moore, who was bom In Asheville, lived most of his life' in Sylva and now has offices in Canton. Is a former Superior Court judge. Chancea also are good that federal judge L. Richardson Preyer may become a candidate. There may be others.

One of f(wr lawyers who ran for the Democratic gubernatorial nwninatlon in the first primary of 1960, John Larkins of Trenton, is now a federal judge.

LAND The Advisory Budget Commisslmi may act at Its next meeting to approve purchase of 70 acres of land for expansion of the fast-growing campus of East Carolina College.

No date has been set for the budget commission meeting.

ECC, with a present enrollment of 6,000 students, has an optlwi to purchase the adjacent 70 acre tract for a $210,000 price tag. But Advisory Budget Commission approval Is necessary. The 1963 General Assembly appropriated a $2 million lump sum for land purchase by state agencies and institutions and sUpulated that the Advisory Budget Conmiisslon determine how the funds should be spent

REDISTRICT Virginia reapportioned Its General Assembly two years ago but is now In the position of having a special federal court find Its acts were unconstitutional.

The special three-judge federal court held that the 1962 i-eapportlonment acts amounted to "Invidious discrimination" against pomilous urban and me-tropc^tan areas such as northern Virginia and the Norfolk luea. Vlhiinla attorney general Robert y. Button Is now appealing to the U. S. Supreme Court contending (1) that the act should have been tested in state courts and (2) that the only discrimination alleged Is one "exclusively of numbers" based solely wi variances In population between districts.

The Supreme Court has scheduled hearings this Pall.

Another new industry for Greenville, althougrh it is small, will add further to the economic diversification of the community and help bolster economic stability.

Announcement that A. L. Robertson, Inc. of Baltimore has established a plant here to produce fabricated covers and other items for pleasure boats, machinery and equipment opens another field of opportunity for industrial growth in the community.

Although the plant is slated to employ only 25 to 30 people by the time it reaches peak operations next spring, its presence here will provide job opportunities for that many more people. And there is always the probability that a new industry in the community has the potential to expand in future years, providing employment for many more people than it initially indicates.

Greenville welcomes another new industrial citizen to its midst with the hope thai Its successful operations here will lead to larger operations here in future years.

The House of Representatives, to the consternation of the President, has reduced the authorization for foreign aid by a billion dollars below his latest recommendation. Many considerations entered into this action. First there is the need for economy in all forms of federal spending. In anticipation of a substantial tax cut. Then, the increasingly serious condition of our International balance of payments suggests the wisdom of tightening up on all outflows of American funds. There is also a strong feeling that the other developed nations of the Western world are not assuming their fair share of the burden.

Probably the most Important factor in the decision by the House Is a sincere doubt that foi-elgn aid. as It is presently conceived and operated, Is really accomplishing much either for our own country or for the recipient nations.

In large part, the acceptance of foreign aid as an Instrument of national policy has been based on its undeniable success in laying a groundwork for European recovery in the years shortly after World War II. European economists freely admit that Marshall - Plan aid was an essential feature in the process which led to their present prosperity.

It is equally clear, however, that they could never have achieved what they did If they had not created an economic climate calculated to encourage the growth of productive enterprise. What they did for themselves was far more important than what we could do for them.

Foreign economic aid now goes to the underdeveloped countries of Asia and Latin America. Here, unfortunately, we can see little progress toward the creation of an economic environment which will attract capital and bring out the pi'O-ductive energies of the people. In some cases the countries are governed by military groups with neither the talent nor the Inclination for Improving economic conditions. Even where emerging nations are democratically governed, their leaders show more Interest In setting up a welfare state than In raising productive efficiency. "Social reform Is a more attractive political slogan than "increased productivity." The redistribution of w'ealth and Income Is given flret priority and the process by which wealth and Income grow tends to be lost from sight.

We are continually reminded. by proponents of foreign aid, of the threat of Communist Inroads in the underdeveloped nations. It Is desperately necessary, they tell us, to

raise living standards In these areas. Yet we would deceive both ourselves and the nations receiving the aid if we pretended that our assistance can play more than a supporting role.

C(Mitrary to the laws oi physics, nations can raise themselves economically by their bootstraps. In fact even with a heli^g boost from the outside there is practically no other way for them to do It. Without the firm tug on the bootstraps the outside boost will be wasted effort.

(Henderson Dispatch)

When B. C. Mangum, president of the State Farm Bureau, said the other day that "the real meat of the situatl(Mi with respect to low tobacco prices is that "weve got too much tobacco, and were in a buyers market." he expressed the fear we have held all the while. It is basic as of now.

Flue-cured tobacco growers "cannot hope to have an enthusiastic market as long as there is a tremendous surplus, he declared. If there is a better or essentially different explanation of current unsatisfactory trends we have missed out on it.

One of the most important mistakes made as to 1963 was the decision of the Secretary of Agriculture to cut acreage allotments by only five percent when it should have been ten percent. Most growers apparently are of that mind. What action will be taken as to quotas in 1964 Is uncertain as of now, but the logical move would appear to be a further cut, of at least five percent from 1%3 plantings. <

E. Y. Floyd, of Raleigh, veteran farm leader, is on record with the suggestion that if growers would express themselves now, some improvement In the current marketing situation could be expected. That theory also was expressed here several days ago. and It is still regarded as a reasonable step.

Some observers of sales in Eastern Carolina got the idea that buyers are now overly anxious to bid on offerings, of whatever quality, on the warehouse floor. They either have about all they want to put in storage, or are willing that Stabilization should take a sizable portion of the leaf, and redry and process It to be held until manufacturers call for It. That could be within a year

or might be several years. After all. Stabilization still has some leaf on hand from 1955 and 1956 crops, some seven to eight years ago.

Mangum has announced a series of area meetings In .the States flue-cured counties for the purpose of discussing tobacco problems. At that time growers will have an opportunity to air their convictions. Out of those meetings may come a cross section of opinion and desires of the producers. By near the middle of October, however, a large portl(Mi of the current crop wiU have been marketed, and even If a decision to ask for a further acreage cut were reached and put into effect, then much of the benefits, whatever they might be, would have been lost.

No one w'ants to rush Into the problem without weighing the effect in every direction. The view has been expressed that it is too early now to arrive at any conclusion.

But the hard, cold fact remains, namely, that there Is too much tobacco, as the Farm Bureau chief said. There are only two alternatives in dealing with the surpluses. One is for a tremendous increase in manufacturing, which does not appear at all likely, and the other is a sufficient acreage cut in 1964. A reduction in quotas would hurt, but It would not be any worse than the unfavorable situation that already exists.

Certainly there Is ample time before another crop Is planted to devise a satisfactory course of procedure. Wishes of growers should be a factor in whatever decision may be reached, whether immediately or m(mth8 in the future. They should not be hesitant about expressing their opinion, for, they have as much at stake as any one, and perhaps a great deal more.

Maybe youve already met the best-seller (it came out In 1961 and I only got around to the book a few weeks ago). . . . but If you havent, theres a treat for fans of shrewd lawyer-type activity in easy-to-read narrative.

It is now available In a 95-cent Pyramid Book, and describes some stranger-than-fictr Ion circumstances of the Quentin Reynolds-Westbrook Pegler libel case, the Billy Rose divorce spectacle, a song-theft that baffled experts, the marital mix-up of John Jacob Astor who apparently had two legal wives Louis B. Mayer and the great Loews proxy fight, and others of less notoriety but equally enthralling.

On finishing the book you may be convinced that Louis Nizer is the greatest trial lawyer of all times; and you may also have a feeling that Nizer might Mily half-heartedly deny such a title. Nevertheless, the reader Is given an Insight Into a world that is foreign to most of us.

Repeatedly Nlzer describes the intense research required in presenting his cases, and quite deliberately (Im sure) leaves the Impression that he had to know more about the circumstances and facts and opinions than anyone else, even more than those most intimately Involved.

This holds true, to a greater or lesser degree, in a number of fields; but Nizer makes It seem imperative in his specialized field.

Louis Nlzer Is very professional In the world of writing, too. He has a number of books to his credit, and I understand he has written a story for Hollywood which Is in the process of being filmed.

Obviously, he is a most remarkable man.

BY JOHN CHAMBERLAIN Copyright. 1963, King Featurei ( Syndicate, Inc.

It is always good for young people to go and see for themselves - provided they really want to find out. But how many of the fifty-nine "students who broke U. S. passport regular ti(xi6 to go to Cuba as the guests of Fidel Castro really wanted to find out?

The "educational returns on the trip were apparently worthwhile to 20 - year - old Clinto Jenks of Monroe, La., who said on his arrival In Madrid from Havana that the Cubans "never lived worse than they do now." But one wonders how Mr. Jenks and his friends prepared for the trip? Did they consult a big cros5-ectl(Hi of Chiban refugees In Miami, Fla. before undertaking their expedition? Did they talk with correspondents who have had a long experience in Cuban affairs?

There are ways of preparing for anything, and one obvious way is cross-check the refe reno* es in the printed words of previous eye witnesses. The late C. Wright Mills, a sociologist, wrote an early book on Castros Cuba, quoting unnamed Idola* tors of the bearded dictator and his lieutenants in the 26th of July movement. But Daniel James, a long-time student of Latin American affairs who is far from being a "rightrwing extremist" in his philc^phical orientation, pulled Processor Mlss work to pieces by checking its claims against the knowledge brought to Miami by scores of educated refugees who consider that Castro betrayed them. Did the "students" who toured Cuba begin by comparing Professor Mills and Daniel James?

No doubt a few of the "students were aware of the favorable accounts that Herbert Matthews of the New York Times had written about Castro. But how many of them were cognizant of the fact that the Times has had more than one expert on Cuba, and that Its other experts have flatly disagreed with Matthews?

The work of Ruby Hart Phillips, who was the Times correspondent in Havana for twenty-five years, was available to the touring "students." How many of them prepared for their trip by looking up her articles and reading her books? Maybe Barry Hoffman, the Brookline, Mass. "counterspy" who went along on the trip as an "investigator" for an Amei> lean lecturer on extremist movements, knew something about Ruby Phillips work. But it is doubtful that any of his companions on the trip had ever heard of her.

During an all - too - brief vacation I have been reading Mrs. Phillipss close-up account of the Castro tage-over, "the Cuban Dilemma (published by Ivan Obolenshy, Inc., in New York). This Is first-rate work by a correspondent who cant for the life of her see what got into her "good friend and able colleague Herbert Matthews" when he fell so hard for Fidel Castro.

Mrs. Phillips sweated out the first years of Castroism in Havana, watching the dictator with skeptical eyes. It is her considered and documented opinion that Castro never had any Intention of getting along with the United States. The systematic baiting of the U. S. started at the very beginning of the Castro administration, and it has never once ceased.

Fidel Castro could have had Americans eating out of his hand. Shortly after the Castro-ites assumed power, friendly American companies, which included the First National Bank of Boston, the First National Bank of New York, the InlematiMial Harvester Company, the United Fruit Company, the . S. government-owned NIcaro Nickel Company, and the Crusellas subsidiary of the Colgate-Palmolive Company, paid three million dollars in taxes to Castro in advance Just to help the Cuban Treasury when It needed help. When Castro visited Washington, he could could have gotten U. S. government aid for the asking. But he never had any Intention of accepting American aid or friendship.

How many of the U. S. "students" who visited Cuba under Castros "guidance" know any-(Contlnued on Page 6)

Strength For Today

BY EARL L.. 1K)UGLASS CHRISTIANS NOT PERFECT

Pe(H>le often point the finger of scorn at professing Christians and call attention to the fact that they are quite imperfect people. Yet the Bible nowhere claims hat when a man becomes Christian, he becomes perfect. There has never been but one perfect man upon the earth. He urged His disciples to strive for perfection, and this we must do if Wi'e are going to achieve even the most mediocre results. But no one ever reaches perfection.

This, however, does nc^ mean that such a man is not a Christian, for a Christian is one who confesses CHuIst as Lord and Master and earnestly tries every day to live up to the Implica- tlons of that confession. If we hold that a man is not a Christian until he becomes perfect, then no man was ever a Christ

ian but Christ himself. The regenerating power of the Holy Spirit changes a man's life, but it leaves him human still, with all the tendencies to evil latent in his heart.

What then is the advantage of being a Christian? Are Christians no better than non-Christians? They should be and gen* erally are. The Important point is that a Christian is a striv* ing man. His Hie no longer looks backward, nor does It by a process of retrogression proceed backwards. The Christian Is one who has turned his fact to a new divine ideal and who day by day presses on.

A man is a (Utrtstian aa l(mg as he keeps going in the (H>irlt of the faith he has confessed. No matter how sound his conduct may be, if he ceases to press forward, he has at the same time ceased to be a Christian.

By ELMER ROESSNER Franchising in America is coming back to the little fellow.

It began with him. One of the earliest forms of franchising was to persuade an aspto ing enterpriser to spend a few hundred dollars for a candied p<H>com machine and he was in business.

But these franchise opera-tl(Mis around the turn of the century were not very sound, and franchising was set back.

In more recent years, racketeers continued to Invade the franchise business. Himdreds of little fellows lost their life savings in buying coin cigarette and candy machines that did not bring them wealth.' Others were persuaded to buy ownership of strings of other coin machines which produced f a r less than was promised.

NOT FOR POOR STRIVERS It became apparent that fran-chi.slng was not for the little fellow. A fellow had to be able to finance a Howard Johnson structure or a $200,000 motel to get into franchisinir.

Neve rtheless, franchising boomed. Frsmchiscrs, out of the candied popcorn era, presented reasonably sound propositions. They developed the formula at their own expense; they provided materials, guidance, national advertising and fail-safe guidance.

About 300 franchising propositions burgeoned. The h i g h-ways are dotted with franchised vendors of accommodations, ice cream, hamburgers, meals, and dozens of other services.

^ FranchislnR is generally ben-Ificent for the independent en-tei-priser. As in banking, medicine and religion, there are always a few franchisers who are out to make a quick buck.-But the successful, sustaining franchiser gives the operator sound, tested advice on supplies, loca-ti(Mi, advertising, customer traffic and a hundred other things.

Dont take that as a blanket endorsement of franchise offers. Never, that is never, go into a franchise deal without a hep lawyer at your side.

But obsen-e that franchising hAfi. tn thi nnlnt. becom m-

spectable, profitable and opportunistic for the man who can put from $10,(X)0 to $100,-000 into the deal.

Now it is broadening out so that little fellows can get into it. A new proposition can be had for $1,500 down, on a total Investment of $14,000. It Is called the "Port-A-Store," with built-in facilities for serving hamburgers, hot dogs, French fries, milk shakes in 19 flavors and frozen desserts.

These drive - in establishments can be established on free space around service stations. along highways, and other places where people are. (Its by Tastee Freez Industries. 4311 W. Belm(Mit Ave., Chicago 41.)

OPERATORS ON OWN

The ciMTipany does not dictate to franchisers, yet it gives them sound advice and wUl not take money for franchises at spots that yield to little traffic to pay both the 'operators and the franchiser.

The store itself is built in Chicago and shipped In parts

to ill loQAlInn fitnroA. tha evwn.

pany says, should yield $7,0(X) to $10,(X)0 a year. Some 28 stoo es are now In full operation and 107 others are in the works.

Meanwhile, there are reports that another kind of portable store is being readied for the market. It is a miniature supermarket that can be erected in a comer of service star tion lot, with one man handling a check - out of up to 30 customers an hour who can choose among 1,000 items. It may pay off better than the roadside diners.
