RALEIGH Political notebook:

The spotlight that played on probable candidates fdr lieutenant governor during the recent session of the General Assembly has been flicked off since adjournment.

Maneuvering by various potential candidates and (actions Interested In the governorship now commands keener Interest and occupies the political center rtage.

Relatively little has been beard from the half-doeen or to men who were Urted prominently during the first half of this year as likely candidates for the states No. 2 spot. This does not mean they have been Inactive.

It Is still expected that there will be two, three and possibly even more candidates for this office In the Democratic primary next May.

REVIVE Speculatlwi about the 1964 campaign for lieutenant governor probably will be revived when the promised special session of the legislature is convened.

The reason la that most of the likely candidates are members of the legislature.

These Include Sens. Thomas J White Jr. of Lenoir. John Jordan Jr. of Wake, W. Lunsford Crew of Halifax and Perry Martin of Northampton and House Speaker H. CUftwi Blue.

White, Jordan and Crew were unofficial" candidates for lieutenant governor from the time the 1963 General Assembly convened. Each expressed Interest that bordered on Intention to run.

LIST - The tugging by this biumvlrats In the Senate for aui^rt and advantage was a idandoff. And the list grew. Late In the session another senator Martin, emerged as a clear pos-alblUty for lieutenant governor.

The most striking development in the pre-campaign Jockeying however was the re-maiicable rise of support for House Speaker Blue. Raleigh observers are saying that Blue eanw out o the regular session as the strongest and apparently the leading candidate for lieutenant governor.

Thla bown for the Aberdeen newspaper publisher, a p a s i president of the North Carolina Pi-ess Association. 1s expected to influence the ultimate decisions of several other potential

candidates for lieutenant governor.

StUI others mentioned In recent weeks In connection with the lieutenant governors race have been Robert Scott of Haw River, son of the late Gov, -Sen. W. Kerr Scott, and State Sen. Irwin Belk of Mecklenburg, Both Scott and Belk also have been mentioned as gubernatorial possibilities, but It Is believed that both will decide to wait another four years before setting political sights that high.

COALITION All doubt appeared to be erased this week about the fact that former superior court Judge Dan K. Moore was the choice for a much-dl.s-cu8.sed "coalition of conservatives" wilhln the state Democratic party.

Numerous con.servatlve spokesmen have predicted for the conservative Democratic would get together by Fall and agree on a single candidate to support for governor next year.

The hope has been, of course, that such a coalition would prove strong enough to keep the Democratic piimary field at a minimum and If possible avoid a bitter intraparty fight next year.

Moore has now offered as a fiscal con.servatlve and a moderate" on the race l.s.sue, and at least the partial makings of a coalition gathered behind him at the start.

ROLES The roles that other party stalwarts will play In the developing campaign are largely uncertain.

Remaining to be answered are questions about such figures a.s Dr. I. Beverly Lake of Raleigh. about the Bennett-Sanford organization and former Gov. Luther H. Ho<l: A statement

of Intention by federal Judge L. Richardson Prever of Green.s-boro Is Imminent, and this may clear up some uncertainty PICTURE During the Intense speculation about the political Intentions of Judge Pie-yer, visitors to the State capital might find an unusual twist In a small visitors booklet entitled the Governors Mansion."

These booklets are distributed free to Capitol visitors. On page 7 of the booklet there Is a picture of a formal receiving Un at the mansion. In the receiving line are Governor and Mrs Terry Sanford and with the San-fords receiving g\iests are Judge Prever and Preyers wife, Emily.

into violence on occa.sion. It is unfortunate that Negro children, at the insLstance of so-called leaders, have been chosen to boycott school.

It is unfortunate that the scheduled opening of school in some Alabama cities has been thwarted under gubernatorial orders that the schools remain closed. It is unfortunate that some school facilities have been damaged in recent weeks because of explosions.

All of these incidents have become part of the g WINFRED L. GODWIN spectre of race relations which now confronts the American people. There are many others, too num- *r *r

erous to mention, that could be cited from every section of the nation.

Without exception, the incidents have made the basic problem more difficult, rather than easier to solve. They have caused moderates to become extremists on both sides of the issue. They have

By ROtiER BABSON BABk)N PARK, Mass My advice to young men and women entering college this fall is not necessarily to major in whatever seems good right now. They should consider. Instead, what is likely to look good several years from now after they get out of school.

SUCCESSFUL WORKERS LOOK AHEAD The difference between the college graduate who just holds down a job and the one who gets promoted on a job is that the successful climber knows enough to look ahead. For example, the young man or woman who is a careful career planner wants to know fir.st where the road he hopes to take Is heading. Better this than to accept what looks like a good Job now and be regretful later on. My father told me long ago, and I have told my grandchildren the same thing: The first step In planning a career is to appraise your own interests, values, goals, personality, and abilities. Youve got to like the job youre doing, too

It Is a sad and much too common .sight to sec a fi'llow butt his head against a wall trying to compete in a position for which he lacks both the proper personality and the basic aptitude. If you want to be a success, develop youi- assets and do work for which you are fitted and which make.s you happy. These steps I feel aiv es-.sential, but they do not go far enough. All job hunters should Investigate, in their .search, the probably future expansion and growth of the Industries being considered.

WHERE OUR ECONOMY IS GOING

Our population right now is 190.0(X).0(K) and further definite gain.s lie ahead. More than 70.-000.000 are gainfully employed. Our gross national product lias climbed to $58 billion, and still further advances are In .stode over the years ahead. With a shorter working week and more efficient production, our people should receive In wages, interest. and other Income about $.550 billion by the time this year's college entrants graduate in 1W7.

Spendable income should grow' greater in the coming period.

and there should certainly be a continued expansion in con-siuner spending as a result. This will open ever broader opportunities for those going into advertising and the selling of new products. My forecast assumes, of course, that the international situation will not grow worse and that there will be a generally favorable economic climate so that business can operate without serious disruption.

ucatlon for the South. Whether the headlines on the program read research centers or economic evelopment or mental health, the discussion always returned to education as the bedrock for progress in any of these areas.

One program paiticularly attracted the attention of the assembled governors a program which launches a major regional campaign against mental disorder. Introduced through the report of the Commission on Mental Illness, entitled, Commitment to Health, the program mapped out fundamental goals and essential tasks for a campaign of mental health In the region.

This campaign, said the members of the Commission to the Governors, is like a stool

sitting on three legs, and each of the legs has a name service, educati(m and research. The Introducticm to the report pointed up the basic Issue in the way:

Over 2,000 years ago Western civilization came to a crossroads to go the way of Athens or Sparta. We follow those who chose Athens.

We have fallen short of the ideals of the Athenian way many times In many ways. But it Is in our treatment of the mentally ill and the mentally i-etarded that we have come closest to shame. The way of Sparta was to destroy the weak, the sick and handicapped. The way of Athens was to heal, to nurture and to restore.

We have not destroyed; neither have we healed or restored the mentally disordered. Though we did not destroy, we banished. We met the challenge of the Athenian way with fixed feelings.

There Is evidence all over the nation that these mixed feelings are being straightened out. Ac-

LOOKING TOWARD 1967

Labor costs both Industrial and agricultural should continue to rise, so give close attention to Industries that make labor-saving devices such as materials - handling equipment, conveyors, farm machinery, constiniction machinery, office machines, and automated processors. Remember, too, that the need for more new roads, hospitals, and schools Is bound to boom construction as the population increases. Still further development of new materials will ensure gains In light metals and high-speed alloys. Look also to the chemical industry. which could surpass most other lines as a result of unending research in farm chemicals, drugs, petrochemicals, plastics, and synthetic fibers.

I see no end to the uses of electricity, and output radldly will move ahead. Both domestic and foreign markers will expand for electrical appliances such as clothes dryers, electric lilankets. heaters, dishwashers, television sets, and r conditioners. The market for electronics applications Is also vei*y far from saturated. Englneere will be turning out a never-ending array of new products, new materials, and still-undreamed-of gadgets.

WANTED: SAI.E.S EXPERTS

Young men and women should note that there W'ill be excellent job chances for those interested in surveying, researching, an-aly ing. and motivating human wants. College freshmen should now look toward 1967, They .should recognize the fact that there will be a still Insatable demand for doctors, nurses, school teachers, and preachers. And. If selling intrigues you, that may be the best 1967 job of all !

(Rocky Mount Telegram)

The U. S. has taken a proper attitude in frowning on Pakistans flirtation with Red China. U. S. Undersecretary of State George Ball is in Pakistan now as a special emissary of President Kennedy for three days of talks with Pakistani President Mohammed Ayub Khan and other officials in the administrative capital of Rawalpindi. And from the looks of things, Pakistan is ready for a showdowm with the U. S.

The American aim apparently is to find out how far Pakistan, partner with the U. S. and other allies In anti-communist alliances, intends to carry its friendship with Peking, Pakistan has already signed an airline agreemment with the Red Chinese opening service be-tw'een Dacca and Shanghai.

The U. S. showed its displeasure by halting a proposed $4,:i-mllUon loan for a new jet airport at Dacca, principal city in East Pakistan. Pakistan is expected to take a stiff line in talks with Ball. The U. S. should take the same stiff line. Pakistan cannot play both ends against the middle in hopes of garnering material gain from both sides.

One thing that irks Pakistan Is Americas military aid to India for its buildup against further Red Chinese aggression along the disputed border. Pakistan also claims that U. S. failed to get concessions from

India controls pai't of Kashmir which Pakistan claims. The latter fears India will use U. S. weapons in the Kashmir dispute.

Some observers feel that while the vast number of Pakistanis are anti-Communlst, the government thinks it can do nothing else but be friendly to the big Chinese neighbor. The implication is that Pakistan is determined to keep extending c(m-tact with the Chinese unless U. S. policy on India and Kashmir is changed; in short, diplomatic blackmail.

Pakistan is paying with fire in inviting a militant Communist nation onto the doorstep In that part (jf Asia. Pakistan willl seek barter trade agreements wth the Red Chinese similar to the one Pakistan has signed with the Soviet Union for an exchange of $1.05 million worth of goods each way.

In the background Is the Issue of American aid to Pakistan which has totalled $3 billion since 1951 and is running at $.500 million a year. These figures do not include military aid. Since foreign aid supporters claim it Is for the purpose of preventing underdeveloped nations from falling for the Communist line, how well has this covstly aid program succeeded In Pakistan, as it prepares to move closer to the Soviet Bloc through economic agreements and other accommodations?

tion Is evident on all fronts to indicate that the mentally disturbed are not swept under the rug of our national conscience as before.

Commitment to Health," gives the governors of the region a plan for improvement of service to the mentally ill; Improvement in education of personnel to work in mental health service and research, and improvement of mental health research.

The report outlined two main tasks for the Improvement of professional education in the field of mental health to increase the quantity and quality of personnel in the mental health professions and related fields; and to formulate a definite policy of providing money, people and time for professional training in state mental health agencies.

States should encourage and assist universities, mental health agencies and professional associations with their efforts to increase the supply of new personnel and to provide new skills and insights to those already employed, the Commission said. This can be done by training personnel in agencies, by training those in professions related to mental health, by educational and professional training for university students, and by state recruitment efforts for the mental health fields.

A definite policy allowing time and funds for training would mean that states should create the position of training director wjiere none exists now in state departments of mental health and fill this position with an individual qualified to encourage and coordinate the necessary training activities. It means, also, that a budget must be set up specifically for training. Since all mental health personnel are in short supply, the reasons for and benefits of such an investment in education must be made clear to everyone concerned, from the governor and the legislature to the patients and their families, said the Commission.

It wears many names and many faces, but the concern of more and more state leader is education in many forms and guises.

Should historians try to make history? WeU, a historian is a human being like anyone else, and if he feels a sense of commitment to a cause or a ^r-son there is no rule to keep him from trying to act ^ events as well as to describe or analyze them.

The historian with a yearning to give history a push, how-ever, takes his chances when he writes campaign literature instead of balanced analysis. When he produced his Kennedy or Nixon; Does It Make Any Difference? a.s his contribution to the Democratic campaign of 1960, Professor Arthur Schlesinger Jr. of Harvard assured himself of a crea^ tive role In the Kennedy Administration. His creative tt-vice has not always been good; indeed, his affinity for a n y-thing that may be descried as the n(Mi - Communist Left has resulted in some curious w-ventures, notably the one that helped persuade the ChrisUm Democrats of Italy to try their ill - fated opening to the East." Maybe Italy and the West will survive the mistake, but President Kennedy may not survive Professor Schlesinger for another and quite inadvertent reason.

The reason has to do with Schlesingers capacity for provoking people. When he wrote his Kennedy or Nixon: Does It Make Any Difference? Schlesinger made a lot of people angry because of the books ommissions. One writer. Victor Lasky, was so furious at Schlesingers good guy - bad guy posing of the personalities involved in the Kennedy-Nixon fight that he set himself a job of refutation that has consumed three years. The result, a massive book called J.F.I^; The Man and the Myth, to be published this week by Macmillan, should stand as an eternal warning that synthetic image-making breeds its Inevitable come - uppance. Mr. Lasky has destroyed the Schlesinger image of the noble Kennedy forever.

Curiously, however, both John F. Kennedy and his father Joseph P. Kennedy emerge fom Mr. Laskys pages as sihnpathetic and attractive human beings. Father Joe had just as much right to make a fortune as any of the scralUfig Lowells. Lawrences and Cabots had In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and one can QPlv* j^cJiXlire tly pertinacity and shrewd competitiveness that turned the Ken-nedys Into a moneyed clan. Because of Father Joes money, son John was able to develop his transcendent charan, a charm that is as undeniable as that of many of the latter-day Lowells who turned the original Francis Lowell's textile fortunes to such cultivated ends.

Mr. Lasky does not deny the fathers financial acumen or the sons attractiveness. B u t. despite Arthur Schlesinger, he wants the Kennedy record to , include everything, beginning with the picture of a young Congressman from Massachusetts who was very similar in many ways to a young Congressman fi*om California named Richard Nixon.

The liberals" have never forgiven Nixon for his original rise to fame as a liberal baiter. They still foam at the mouth when they recall Nixon.'s 1950 campaign for the Senate against the liberal Helen Gahagan Douglas. Mr. Lasky recalls a curious episode about that campaign. According to Robert W. Richards, chief of the San Diego Unions Wa.sh-ington Bureau, Nixon had in his comer in the fight against Mrs. Douglas no less a person than Jghn F. Kennedy himself. Says Lasky, quoting Richards: Shock - haired Kennedy strode into the Nixcm House offices . , .to see Nixons confidential secretary privately. . .Pulling the check for $1,000 from his pocket the Boston House member said he wanted to offer it to help out Nixons campaign against Representative Douglas. He didnt need to spell out to the then Nixon aide that it might be embarrassing if a Democratic member of Congress was known to be giving cash to the campaign of a Republican senatorial candidate. This is Just one anecdote (Continued on Page 6)

A fpw Sundays ago as we stood ui church during the sing-insi of a hymn, we observed a mother in the gallery with a child on each side. It wa.s amazing that these children, both under ten. were able to read the word.s of the hpnin with apparent ease inlact st'em-ed quite familiar with tluun and were evidently taking great satisfaction in the vhole ctiurch .serfice. It struck us that here was a parent preparing two children to get the most out of life. She was going alwiit it in the rigljj way. She was r.rtabllshinp withinthem a .^cn.se of \ahirs whieli would eondilion their thinking and acting in future years.

Why do good Christian people march off to church each Sunday morning without their children? Thousands of parents who are very solicitous for the welfare of their children go to church themselves each Sunday and allow their childmn to re-tinn home after Sunday .school to spi'iul the rest of the morn-iiig with the comic strips. Church going is a habit, and it is furthermore a habit which, unless It is formed in childhood, i.s Very seldom formed at any time later. Twenty-five vears from now many churches are going to empty, for the simple rea.son that a laigr pereentaue ol om Clinstian citizenship will not have been trained thiougti the years in church attendance.

High gold and dollar reserves in foreign countries. prosperity abroad, and strong promotional efforts will keep U. S. farm products moving overseas.

Coal outlook promising:

Weaker units in the coal industry have been weeded out in the last decade and the larger concerns remaining are generally In good shape. Modernized equipment and higher man-hour production has kept coal competitive in the electric power industry; transportation costs have been trimmed: and new high - voltage transmission lines have been developed which make it practical for generating stations to be located far from the consumer but near the coal .supply.
