CAB Action Indicative Of Interest

Decision of the Civil Aeronautics Board to review the hearing examiners decision in the Eastern Carolina regional airport case is in the best interest of this area of the state and all its citizens.

The case is of sufficient import to Eastern North Carolina and its future air service to more than warrant reviw of the hearing examiners ruling by the full CAB board. The CABs Bureau of Economic Regulation, which during the hearing endorsed the area airport proposal, has been severely critical of the hearing examiners decision since

Wondering A Stone Defense

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES

WORDS An uniual and unexpected press release was handed to reporters in the governor's ^iice last week a prepared statement by vacationing Gov, Terry Sanford entitled "A Word for Clarence Stone.

The Word for Clarence Stone Immediately became s o m e-thlng of an enigma.

It had all the earmarkl of sponUneity. But it has caused a lot of wmiderlng. A lot of questions are being asked. There are questions about its design and purpose, if any, beyond the stated fact that criticism of Senate president Clar-^ ence Stone haa made Sanford *gt least a Uttie bit unopm-forUtWi* and that it was issued to fairness.

tlMrt are qiMstions about what'exactly prompted the governor's special statement, what occasioned it and why it was Issufd at thM time.

It turns out that the governors word for Clarence Stone came out at the same time that Clarence Stone was saying a few words oi his own.

SPEECH Sanford telephoned his statement to his office from Pinehurat a few hours before a scheduled ^ech in Winston-Salem by the subject of the governors statement.

It was a speech that stone himself had been advertising as blunt and outspoken. It was to bo quite a speech.

Its not going to pull any punches, stone has told punches, Stone has told fri-friends. He planned to Speak his mind and not spare anyone. He had been working on the speech for some time and had even rehearsed by quoting portions of the speech to friends.

STIlONO Sources who heard about what Stone planned to say reported it was to be a -strwig and blistering speech, characterisUc of Stone's sensitive feeling on criticism of his actions in the 1963 General Assembly.

Stone feels most strongly about criticism of his role in enactment Of the controversial anti-communist speakers ban on the next to final day of the legislative session.

The occasion of his Winston Salem speech was a meetiua of Dost officers oi the American Legion. The North Carolina department of the Legioh supports the speaker biUi. Xrtxii-cally, Govtroor Sanford does not.

True to his word, Stone delivered a fiery speech. Like Sanford, he attacked the press for its criticism saying he has been ^vilified, scorned, chastia-pd and pictured as a disgrace to my state because he aided in enacting the speaker ban. stone went further and singled out a newspaper, the Chapel Hill Week^, for attack. He also blasted generally at the **Ubertl press and accused It of making hatemongers out Of our people,

CMAftOKD - Me charged that many of thoae who oppose the apeaker ban are liberals enslaved by academic free

dom. The speaker ban p r o-hiblts known Communists or anyone who has taken the fifth Amendment to avoid questions on communism and subversive activity from speak 1 n g on state-supported campuses.

"Im not hell-bent on destroying this land of ours with sea-demic freedom, Stone said. Many of our young people are impressionable and easy to sway.

If these people who are c(Hnplf tnlng about the bill had Used more Judgment in hiring the teachers they hired to tesch there would be no need for this bill anyway, Stone said. This was a thinly-veiled attack on the University oi North Carolina administration. The admin-istration is strongly supported by Sanford.

Stone made no reference in his speech to opposition by the governor and his aides to the speaker ban,

DjEESfNSE Sanforils state-ment issued in Raleigh shortly before Stone spoke in Winston Salem was a defense of Stone who, the governor said, has been treated unfairly by news media.,

It did not cite instances, now did it mention the speaker ban specifically.

Instead, Sanfords statement began by saying too often in life we observer some unfair action Which doesnt affect us, mabye 9 none Oi Our business, but which causes us to feel at least a little bit uncomfortable. It went on to cred i t Stone With a most constructive record over the years.

He a warm hearted gen-ermis and kind man. extremely loyal to his friends, Sanford said. I like qualities in a man and I like Clarence Stone.

He has had far top much abuse. No man In public life expects to be free frOtn Citlclem Like the reat of ui clarence Stone has made mistakes, and the mistakes have been reported. But in fairness, the criticism, should be balanced with a report of the unselfish Contributions of a lifetime. POLITICS Aside from the words for and by Clarence Stone last week, more political implications of the ant l-communlst. speaker ban became clear.

L. Richardson Preyer of Greensboro, the gubernatorial candidate supported by Sanford-Bennett forces, lined up with ewjh of his' opponents in support of the speaker ban. Preyer spoke in Kinston the dsy before the Stone speech and the flanfm'd statement, sSying thst he Is not for outright re-pesl, but feels a way might be found to allow scientists and scholars to visit campuses to exchange views on sdentlf I c and scholarly matters.

"I am confident that we can find a way to sustain the strong feelings of our people (in support of the speaker bani without cutting off our scientists and scholsri from the views of others,*' Preyer said. ^

On the same date as mqnes speech in Winston lalem, |ub-ematorial candidate 1. Beverly Lake said that the speaker ban is "a good law and if 1 become your governor It will be carried out. Lake said It may need a clarifying amendment.

Candidate t)an K. Moore came out tw'o weeks earlier

it was announced in early October. It pointed out in vigorous terms that a number of important fac-in the ca.se apparently were not given sufficient consideration by the examiner in rendering his decision.

In spite of the fact that a number of Eastern Carolina communities have adamantly opposed the idea of regional air service for this area, there is. We believe, a general recognition that the area will require increasing higher calibre cornmercial air service if its potential of development is to be realized in future years. We are convinced that the best long-ranife method of achieving the calibre

<1, bole is through

the concept of regional air faclitig.

'i.c* Miitrp cou lit t beLVvotii uje recommenda-llons of the Bureau of Economic Regulation and the hoaring examiner's decision in itself was sufficient to justify the action by the CAB in deciding to review the case. In addition to this, there are the policy statements by both the CAB and the FAA that they favor the use of regional air facilities where they are practical instead of slngle-cUy service. To these there can be added the sharp contrast of positions taken by communities in this area in their information presented to the examiner in the hearing of the current case.

The decision of the CAB to review the decision of the hearing examiner indicates the Board's interest in this particular case and the Importance it attaches to it. It is a decision which will stand the area and its people in good stead.

More Precautions To Protect JV President

In the few hours before his assassination, President Kennedj^ moved freely among the people of Texas, shaking hands with hundreds and moving into crowds of people.

There was a sharp contrast between that picture of the smiling President In the milling crowds and the one in New York this past week-end on the occasion of President Johpsons visit there. Reportedly, the precautions taken to assure the safety of the President in New York were the most elaborate ever taken . . . going far beyond that which was considered normal just a few weeks ago.

It raises the question, of course, of when things will return to normal so far as the movements of the President are concerned? Or perhaps what was seen in New York during the week-end has become the new normal method of handling the Presidents safety in order to assure his protection.

On the heels of the tragic event in Dallas, it is only natural that concern for the safety of the President is evidencing itself much more openly than it did before. There is alw^ays the chance that one attempt on the life of an important public figuresuccessful or unsuccessfulmay precipitate

A Monkey In The House

W, M, "Booger Scales, who has been known to have a prominent local physician paged at the North Carolina-Maryland football game, is the proud possessor of a new addition at his DreXelbrook home.

This particular addition arrived in a taxi cab last Friday evening. Were told the taxi driver delivered a six month old lively monkey to the Scales manse, shipped Railway Express from Miami, Fla. and then delivered in a crate to Scales^door, all charges prepaid.

Well, the Scales family immediately took to the animal, which was Installed In a big cage in the childrens p 1 a y-room.

The monkey, which Scales describes as very intelligent, eats bananas, eggs, milk, cheese and hamburger. He is not completely trained but he will take items from his masters hand.

"All the children love him, Scales declared. "They all come In to see him. The. taxi driver who delivered the monkey was sworn to secrecy and

would divulge no details as to who sent him.

At any rate. Scales plans to keep him and he says he has give him the name of Alphon-za Folger.

other similar attempts. There is also, in such circumstances, always the feeling that some little extra precaution on the part of the force protecting the President may have prevented the earlier tragedy.

Certainly the American people want every possible precaution taken to prevent another incident such as the one in Dallas. Even with this desire on the part of the citizens of the nation, it will be difficult for them to become accustomed to thinking of their President as a person who must be in constant fear for his life . . . one who m.ust always be shielded from his people for his own protection.

Things have changed so far as the movement? of the President in public are concerned. Whether some day the old way will be normal again remains a matter of conjecture.

Suffice it to say that in the tragedy the United States lost much more than a President.

BY JAMES MARLOW

WASHINGTON lAP) TM United States has been lucky, in a grialy way, because death was choosy.

Eight presidents have died in office, four of them assassinated. Seven vice presidents have died in office.

Death never tapped a president and vice president in any single four-year term.

But now once again. With Vice President Lyndtto B. Johnson moved up to the presidency, there is no vice president.

The law which provides for a successor to Johnson, If the president died, la a lot more pretentious locking than it really is.

Next in line for the presidency, when there is no president or vice president, are these people in this order:

John W. McCormack of Massachusetts. 71, speaker of the Mouse; Ben, Carl Hayden of Arizona, 86, president' pro tempore Of the Senate; and the Cabinet, Starting with Secre

tary of State Dean Rusk.

This order of succession, laid down by Congress in 1947. serins down by Congress in 1947, oeems to be generously spi*ead out over the government. Thats misleading.

If Speaker McCormack became the president, he would automatically have to resign from Congress and give up the speakership.

It's a safe bet this would follow quickly;

The Mouse would elect another speaker. Then, if McCormack died the new speaker of the House would be next In Bueeesslon, not the Senate's president pro tempore or any member of the Cabinet.

Since McCormack says he favors the law which puts him next in line, to Johnson, there Is almost no chance the House will change the order of suc-cc.sslon.

Thus, the House, under ordinary circumstances, has a strin-Rle-hold on the line of presidential succession.

(Washington Dally News)

Lyndon Johnson as president of the United Staes today not

only gives that office a new man, but he also gives the American political 'scene anew coat of paint.

First of all, the Kennedy haters around the country can no longer base political campaigns nationally or in the states on anti-Kennedy planks. And with primaries and elections coming up in the states next year, it is quite clear that many of the campaigns were not to be based on local or home issues but rather oh anti-Kennedy issues.

President Kennedy as such will no longer be a campaign Issue in that vein. If he is an issue at all, he will be so among those who strongly revere his memory and who will call for fulfillment of what he stood for.

Many gubernatorial c a m-paign, particularly throughout the South, were headed for the anti-Kennedy trails.

Nationally, a new evaluation must now be undertaken by both parties. Prior to the death of President Kennedy. It was -generally accepted that Mr Kennedy and Mr, Johns o n would again be the standard-bearers of the Democratic party. No other names were being mentioned, and this was about a sure bet. People all over America knew where Mr. Kennedy stood, and It is generally felt that the Democratic convention Would be little mOfe than a Kennedy rally.

To a great extent that Idea has changed. While flow it Is generally coaccded thit Mr. Johnson will be the Democratic nominee for presldeflt. there is the job of choosint a vice presidential nominee. Then the platform must b CirvOd out to suit Mr, Johnson. The Democrats will have the advaftttee of having their candidate In office just as they would had Mr. Kennedy lived. But Mr.

Johnson right now is more of an unknown quantity than was Mr. Kennedy. A more aggressive campaign probably will be waged than had not the tragedy occurred.

On the Republican side the candidacy of Benitor Barry Goldwater has suffered to a great extent. Whereas Mr. GOld-water, if he is the GOP prest-' dential nominee, had every expectation of carrying the Southern states, now he must look at the White House and realize that it is occupied by a Southerner even though his Views are not of the general Southern view. But fighting a Kennedy and fighting a Johnson in the South today offers a different attack. Mr. Goldwater certainly realizes that the political rug in the South might have been pulled from under him.

Then Mr. Johnson is considered to be a more conservative man that Mr, Kennedy. If Mr. Goldwater is to base his campaign on conservatism, and it is generally agreed that he was to do this, then he might have to take a second look at where he wants to go and how he hopes to get there.

Actually Mr. Kennedys death has given new impetus to the candidacies of both Governor Nelson Rockefeller and to Richard Nixofl. Mr. Rockefeller was running behind Mr, Goldwater and he probably Will continue to do so. Mr. Nlxon did hot seem to have much heart to face Mr. Kennedy* but facing Mr. Johnson might he more enticing to him.

, Wi can look at the political pioture anyway we wish in this country, But we all will have to admit that It is a changing political pioture and one that oannot be told clearly for lome month! yet.

A lot of political water can go over the dam within the next six months, and watchful Waiting Will be the attitude of a lot of pacplS;

History

City Attorney R. B. Lee believes that his old University of North Carolina room is what is now the presidents office.

"They tell me that, he told your columnist while chatting before a council meeting the other night.

Of course, the building has been completely convert e d since 1918 when Lee was in school. He recalls at the time that there Were no baths in the dormitories. The students had to troop to the gymnasium for their showers.

And times were hard for college students Jn those days. Lee remembers that he lived off two bowls of soup a day for a couple of weeks. It got so bad that he packed up to leave school. Then a check for $2 or $3 arrived from home thd he unpacked and decided to stick it out.

The city attorney held down all sorts of job.'?, including one cleaning library books at 25 cents per hours.

"Ill bet I cleaned every book in the library 50 times, he says with a chuckle. At any rate Lee stuck it out and obtained his law degree. As a result Greenville got an attorney and a pretty fine city attorney, Lee was described by Mayor S. Eugene West as his "right arm when the mayor was inaugurated last May.

"We are now in a tight competitive position, with several leading countrie*. Automation should enable ues to pay our workers more, because they will produce more, and maintain our high standard of living. Thia is the norami development in our specialty mass production, mass production has enabled us to achieve the standards we now enjoy. Cureo (Tex.) Record.

Due to our habit of balancing our natltmal partf slates with presidential and vice presidential candidates who have contrasting character -tics, a strange rhythm has marked our recent hisKky. -conservative McKinley l| iha.. and the bronco-busting7 Tedc. ? Roosevelt Opens the Age (f Reform. Franklin D. Roo- -velt a patrician from 8 Hudson River estate and a btc -ground of Groton SchSiU ani Harvard, dies In office anti ii succeeded by Oive-em-Hell Harry Truman, the mri frcm the show me state of Missouri. And John P. Kennedy, once called the first Irish Brahmin. is followed by Lyndon Johnson, a largely self - made man from the poor ranch country. Of mid-Texas.

Now, when there Is a change In the presidency through death, - the suddenly exalted former Vice President invariably stresses the continuity of his party and Administration policies. But, though the intentions may be good, svtry-thing depends on temperament. The style, the rhrthm, the emotional boiling point, of the so-called back - country man from Missouri or Texas wiir never ber- the same as styles and rhyUims and- tempers nurtured in the cosmopolitan East. g

The mark of the Harvard-educated patrician, both in the case of FT)R and JFK was a willingness to trust that reason would prevail in the relations between great sovereign states whose aims might differ. So we had Prankl 1 n Roosevelt explaining to the late Forrest Davis about a Great Design for the peace of the world that would be found-ed on mutual trust between Stalin, Churchill. Chiang Kai-shek and the White House in Washington, Roosevelt always felt that he could manage Stalin.

When Harry Truman moved into the White House on that Spring day in 1945 when the war was coming to its end. Roosevelt's trust Stalin policies had already been sealed at Yalta.-In the ensuing deliberations at Potsdam Harry Truman had little opportunity to let his native uiplcibusness flower Into new policy, and the war was liquidated with West Berlin fatefully Isolated in Soviet - conquered territory. It didnt take long, however, for Truman to make a skeptical Missourian's assessment of Stalins character. Thus, In Greece, in Korea and in the countries of Europe which., accepted the Marshall Plan, Truman stood up to the evil genius of the Kremlin.

Khrushchev is a far more whimsical fellow than Stalin, and. with his own Ukrainian peasants reliance on sly alter-' nations of blueter and accommodation, he may merit more trust for fundamental sanity than his implacable predecessor. John P. Kennedy may. therefore, have taken a reasonable gamble in hoping to wangle Khrushchev via the hot wire and test ban. But it is Interesting to note that, in Lyndon Johnson, we now have a President whose* past utterances on the subject oi dealing with Communism would seem to put him in H a f r y Trumans skeptical company.

I have been looking through some of the literature, put out by Johnson* supporters for the presidential nomlnatirii in the Spring of I960, prior to the Demooratio convent 1 o n which passed him by for the top spot and then made amends by nominating him for Vice President. The literature Is anything but fxropiliat Dry toward Khrushchev. It quotes Johnson as saying: An international stalemata with C5om-munism would be the greatest waste of American resources and the resofcei of freedom, even though stalemati, produced no war. A vital government cannot accept atalemate in any area.

So, if words mean anything, this makes Johnson sound like the Douglas MacArthur who said there Is no substitute Tor

victory.

The I960 Johnson for President literature also glories In Nikita Khrushchevs reac-tiwi to Johnsons own and speedxoaaklng record In (Continued on Page 5)
