Simple Peace Formula Offered In UN

UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. (APIU.S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson pledged today that the United States will Continue to defend southeast Asia against Communist attacks as long as the people of the area are de-temiined to preserve their in-deiaendcnce.

The chief U.S. delegate charged tliaT the clear aim of the Indochinese Communist Par-JjT-and the Owmmmist leadership of Viet Nam is to take ~Dvor x;ontrol of all Indochina.'

Stavensoa.who 40ished JDack

Wednesday from a European tours, told the UN. Security Council that the United States has consistently come to the aid of peoples attacked from the outside.

And it will do so again, he said, Unless the lessoil is learned once and for all by ail aggressors that armed aggression does not paythat it no Iqr^er, woii&rrr-that-- it wtilnofrl': be tolerated.

He asserted that the crisis In southeast Asia has taken a tura for-the worse.__

My government takes a very grave view of these events, he added. Those who are responsible have set foot upon an exceedingly dangerous path."

The council debate originally was sparked by a Cambodian charge that the United States and South Viet Nam had committed aggression in recent border incidents. Both_ the Jlnited ^ates ahd Viet Nam replied that the violations were acci-' dental and that they wanted to settle the matter peacefully.

Meanw^hilc, howevci-r- the Unit-

Stevenson told the council:

Key Posts For 2 Pitt Demos

J. H. Harrell, local attorney and chairman of the Pitt county Democratic Executive Committee, and C- D. Langstom farmer and president of the Bank of Winterville, were elected to key positions at the State Democratic Convention in Raleigh yesterday.

Harrell was elected one of 130 delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City. New Jersey in July. Langston was elected a member of North Carolinas delegation to the ElectoraL~Coiiege.

This action came in the First Congressional District Democratic caucus yesterday in Raleigh.

Harrell said this morning that many of the Democrats attending the caucus wanted to go to the national convention, but that was not possible.

The delegation nomination committee was appointed by

The grand jury last w'eek returned an indictment charging Lee with false prtense in obtaining checks totaling $15,000.

The indictment charged that Lee falsely pretended to be the owner of certain stocks, bonds and debentures of General Tire Co. in obtaining the checks paid by Dr. Frank Longino in February.

The law, passed by the 1963 General Assembly, forbids Communists or persons who have pleaded the Fifth Amendment from speaking at state-supported colleges.

A resolution by John W. Mayor of Smithfield calling on North Carolina Democrats to applaud passage of the bill never reached the floor.

The convention did adopt a mild civil rights resolution, but did not take a stand on the civil rights bill now before Congress.

The civil rights resolution that passed without discussion or dissent stated:

Nine Pitt Candidates Report Expenditures

Nine Pitt randidate.s for state nnd local offices subject to next weeks primary election have filed statemenls of campaign expenditures to the Clerk of Court.

In compliance with regulations requiring .such statements, the candidates listed total expendi-ture.s and. contributions toward their campaigns up to yesterday, the filing deadline.

Walter B. Jones of Farmville, candidate for election to the office of State Senator, reported expenditures totaling $598.25, and contributions to date of $240. Jones' expenditures represent the largest amount spent by any of the candidates who have tiled,

W. A. (Red) Forbes, candidate for the House of Repre.sentatives from Pitt, filed an account listing expenses to date totaling $162.10, and contributions of $100.

' C. W. E\erctt of Bpthcl. Forbes opponent in the election, lists tile largest amount in con

tributions, having received $415. Expenditures were listed a.s

$332 73.

Brantley T. Jolly and T. G. Worthington, two candidates for the~Pitt Board of Education, re-porteil their only expen.ses to date have been the required filing fee of $5. Jolly, in his report, noted he expects to spend more and will itemize and report to the Clerk's office when he does.

James H. Sonhy Fisher, candidate for the office of constable in Farmville township, reported a total expenditure of $32.80. Pennell Burnette, in

competition with Fi.sher, report-e'd 822 17 in $t ami)aign cxpcnse.s to date.

Candidate for constable, Chi-cod township, Herbert Travis, stated jn his reixut he has spent $10 foj* filing fee and has received a contribution of 12,000 cards, cost unknown.

from Dan proach to road building.

Preyer told a luncheon.at the Dan VaUey Community Center: It would cost the state millions of extra tax dollars a year to give these short haul roads to private contractors and pay the extra amount it would take for these contractors to move their equipment half way across the state,

Preyer said Moore, one of his chief opponents for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, thinks a much larger per-centage of secondary road funds "should have been spent through the letting of private contracts.

Certainly majo r projects and roads other than short haul roads can be built more efficiently by private contractors. Preyer said. And it would be my intention to build the major arteries under my road bond Issue by private contract."

He said Moores approach would put many of our state highway employes out of a job unnecps.sarily, since they can build t h.f s e secondary roads much more cheaply and effec-lively than the private contractors.

The threats of attack have served a magnlficient purpose in forcing extraordinary measures upon the Castro regime and doubtless producing widespread unrest and chaos in the already-floundering Cuban economy, said another exile leader.

There was a flurry of rumors about sabotage and minor forays by junta forces led by Manuel Ray. But the Havana regime's radio confirmed none of them. Exiles recalled, however, that it took Havana radio 15 hours to confirm last weeks attack on sugar mill by an exile group. _

The' juntas statement appealed to all Cuban exiles to help the fight to overthrow Castro.

Popular victory docs not i come in the form of spectacular! invasion. it added.

No action was announced by two other leading militant forces among the exiles, the Revolutionary Recovery Movement, which attacked the sugar Mill, and the forces headed by guerrilla fighter Eloy Gutierrez Me-noyo.

Various reports circulated in Miami about events purportedly occurring in Cuba but there was no confirmatiim from Havana.

May Not Call For New Bids

Housing Authority officials have cmiferred with apparent low bidders on 180 units of low rent housing and they are hopeful of awarding contracts without calling for new bids.

Executive Director A E Dub-ber said he, the architects low bidder representatives and PH A officials will meet in Atlanta Friday to see if we can award the contracts.

We are very hopeful we can get everything worked out there so we can bring the contracts back for Mr. Howard (Charles Howard, Authority chairman) to sign," Dubbcr said.

Apparent low bids on the South Greenville housing totalled $1^-700.469 $87.841 over the amount budgeted for the project.

If all goes as expected, Dub-ber Indicated that the contracts could be signed'next week.

Campaign Expenses-Are High

Students Still Being Exposed To Good Books

WASHINGTON (AP)- Comic books, television and other forms of instant culture notwithstanding. American high school students still aue getting substantial exposure to good literature.

Thats the conclusion to be drawn from a recent survey by the Educational Testing Service. ETS asked 691 public, Roman Catholic and independent high schools across the country what major works of literature they offer their students.

Shakespeare, in this 400th anniversary of hLs birth, had the two top entries in all three categories of schoolsMacbeth and Julius Caesar.

The most popular works of literature in the public schools, those taught In at least 30 per cent of the schools surveyed, are; Macbeth 90 per cent. Julius Caesar 77. Silas Mar-ner 76, Our Town 46, Great Expectations 39, "Hamlet 33. The Red Badge of Courage and A Tale of Two Cities ,33. and The Scarlet Letter 32.

Juror's Charge Sets Off Near Riot In Courtroom

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) As the foreman was about to read a civil rights trial jurys decision Wednesday, one of two Negro jurora stood up and shouted, I was assassinated and crucified in the jury room because I am a Negro.

The charges touched off a near riot in the courtroom and caused Judge Andrew J. Eyman to declare a mistrial.

One courtroom spectator, W-liam Bancroft, 20. was arrested for hitting a court bailiff.

Juruis Geraldine Larp and Jasephlne Nichols made their charges after the jury had de-lilieraled 2.5 houi.s following the-two-week trial of 14 defendants.
