RALEIGH - Qrcling the

- square.-and idlth echoes the political campaigns still ringing loudly In the ears.

Construction o the state's new science and technology research center In the growing Research Triangle Pailt is scheduled to begin within a few weeka. A nine - acre site has been selected and preliminary buUdlng plana approved.

The science and technology center was among the space-age projects authorized by the 1963 General Assembly.

It Is to be operated by the board of science and technology appointed by Gov. Terry Sanford nearly two years ago to plan and prwnote the state's fullest participation in space age science and technical advances.

PROJECT - InlUal project for the center will be the sdft-* Ing analyzing of masses of technical and scientmc reports on space-related projects which have been piling up for the past 10 years or more.

Scientists and space officials, along with industrialists, believe these reports are a virtual gold nne of information on new techniques and processes and should be analyzed, catalogued and made available to industry. Heretofore, the reports have been gathering dust in NASA files.

Work on this project will be done by a staff of eight or nine highly-trained engineers using computers and other Rp.search Triangle facilities.

It will be financed by a recent grant of $100,000 fnmi the federal space agency.

BROCHURE - It was well known during the primary campaign that selling the states $207,000 airplane Kitty Hawk" was the focal point of Dr. I. Beverly Lakes antiwaste program.

A brochure published and distributed by Lake suw>ort-ers In coastal North Carolina told what Lake proposed to do with the proceeds Iwy a dredge.

Lake said he would ask the Fisheries Cranmisslon to consider using the money to purchase SAd flfierate a shallow draft dredge to help open up Inlets and water course clcm-ged with sand and s4Jt from hurricane during the past 10 years. He suggested converting a surplus government ship Into such a dredge.

The limited edition brochure was paid for by fishermen and friends of highway No. 17. COSTS The same brochure In addition to proposing sale of the goveraors airplane and buying a dredge listed Initial cost of the Kitty Hawk at

$207,000, cast of operation In 1963 at $62,000 and average cost per trip at $422. pointing out that only eight trips were for as much as 300 miles.

Then it listed the cost of round-trip airline tickets on scheduled airplanes from Wilmington to Los Angeles, Denver and Chicago, which ranged from $127.16 to $312.80.

HIGHWAYS - Some of the delay in w?roving preliminary design for unfinished major sections of the Interstate Highway system has been oc-casicHied by a change in federal design requirements.

When the interstate highways first went on the drawing boards, the requirements were for a base design sufficient to handle 1975 traffic forecasts. This has been changed to require design based on 20 years from initial construction.

In other words the design for Interstate section being built this year must be based on traffic forecatsts on that mad in 1984.

REANALYSIS - This has brought about re analyzing of traffic projections and preliml-. nary design studies Tn t h e Highway Commissions planning and engineering sections.

One of these Interstate sections undergoing reanalysi.s is that alongT-85 in the rapidly growing Piedmont, especially in a corridor from Greensboro to swth of Lexington. It takes in the so-called death valley section on the Greensb oro city limits and preliminary design through Davidson County.

The last cost estimate for the Davidson County wras figured on bringing 1-85 along the present . S. 29 route as a four-lane divided facility meeting interstate standards. The revised design requirements, however, have forced reanaly-sls as to whether this entire route should be six lanes instead of four.

If so, costs for additional right of way, possible relocation and construction would be greatly increased.

PROJECT Another major highway project for the Davidson County area which is in preliminary design stage is extending of the north-south ex-pi-essway at Winston - Salem s(mth along the present U. S. 52 route to tie in with L - 83 at Lexington. This would be some 17 miles in length, including about 12 miles in Davidson.

Some of the 1-85 projects being planned for Davidson include from .south of Lexington to the Randolph county line.s. the Lexington bypass, from west of Thomasville to H 1 g h Point and from the Lexington bypa.s.s south.

Pitt County could ancPFtrould have done better than it did Saturday in getting-its people to the polls lor the Democratic primary.

While citizens across the state went to the polls in larger numbers than was the case four years aiiib. Pitt Countys total vote in the Democratic primary fell about 50(b short of the first primary in 1960.

In the gubernatorial race four years ago, Pitt Countians ca.st total of 12,501 balots In the^ race.s for the top spot on the Democratic ticket in iSaturday.s baHotting, Wtt^CountiansqMit anly 12,084 vote.s in the box.

-^lost pe<>pl^v-lH>inUftg to the growth of population in the county during the pa.st four years, the interest generated in the long gubernatorial campaign and the predicted record vote on a state-wide lasis, had assumed Pitt County would casst more votes Saturday than it did in May of 1960. The fact that Pitt came up short of its vote of four years ago should be a cause of concern for every citizen of the county.

While one may find many reasons for the lighter vote in ,the county this year, it all boils down to the fact that too many of the registered voters just didnt make it a point to get to the polls. Too many of the registered voters of the county were willing to leave it to their fellow' citizens to decide which of the candidates would be named to the various oftices. Too many citizens did not exercise their prMlege ami responsiMHty to partidpate in this fundamental democratic process.

University of Texas officials had a pleasant problem thi.s commencement season of finding room for all the students and their families ~ clamoring to see, hear and shake the hand of the commencement speaker on May 30. President Lyndon B. Johnson.

Special stands and seats were constructed on the South Mall of the Austin campus to accommodate 16,000 spectators, including a record-breaking 2.000 candidates for bachelor and graduate degrees.

Mrs. Johnson added to the luster of this particular graduate procession, receiving an honorary doctor of letters degree while her husband became an honorary doctor of law.

The First Lady was I'eturn-ing to her alma mater where she earned a double bachelor of arts and joumalism degree. The President was adding another doctorate to the score he already holds from U. S. high- er institutions, plus his earned B. S, from Southwest State Teachers College. San Marcos. Texas.

The Johnsons decked themselves out, like academicians have for some 800 years, in the regalia .so necessary to the pomp and cireumstiice of (roj,-, lege graduations the bfack gowns, moiiar boaixis and colorfully lined hoods that symbolize the institution conierring the degree and the subject ma.stered

Their hoods were lined with the universitys oi ajige and white and Mrs. Jotin.sons was Ininmed with more while for letters and the President's with purple for law.

Their mollar boards and tho.sr of fellow doctors in the prores.sion carried gold ta.wls, in contrast to the black one which the niKlcrpradnatcs .shifted when they received their decrees

In addition to tl>e elatK>rate maces carried traditionally by nnivrrsitv marsjials. this procession ' included a sliiny new ff topped with the American fcle, signifying the presence of the Chief Executive.

Like the University of Texas

graduating class, record-enj-oll-ment Clases of 1964 over the nations are holding similar pomp and circumstance ceremonies this season. Of the estimated 440,000 American men and w'omen earning bachelors degree, some 140,000 are in the South, the largest number in the regions history.

And, as in past Junes, It w'ill be the parents rather than the students or faculty w'ho get the greatest kick from the processioning degree awaiding and speech making.

Graduations have come a long way from the early ones at the College of William and Mary, the Souths oldest, when the whole town turned out and most of the ceremony w'as delivered in Latin. Now school officials must pressure the graduates themselves to sit and stand through the long, hot proceedings and wordy rhetoric.

When Barry Goldwater was Interviewed last Sunday on television, he suggested that one of the ways of destroying the Viet Congs supply lines in the jungles was to destroy the foliage with low-yield atomic weapons. When you remove the foliage, you remove the cover, the Senator W'as quoted as saying. This, we discovered, is known in military terms as defoliation.

There were many harsh criticisms of the Goldwater suggestion. not bec^se it was considered reckl^, but be-caiLse mast Americans were astonished to read you could kill foliage with atomic bombs.

If the government knows of

w'ays to .eliminate growth with nuclear weapns, most homeowners feel_ they should be made available to us rather than shipped to a foreign country.

All of us who have been

figliting the battle of c r a b-grass, weeds, and dandelions have been w'aitlng for some

major breakthiough in the destruction of foliage. The mili

tary, it gppears, had the an-sw'er all the time, and if it

werent for Sen. Goldwater we would have never known about it.

- Of course the use of 1 o w-yield atomic weapons for home use must be handled very carefully. If not applied correctly, you might knock down your house at the time youre

Other E(diiors Saying

obs For Colleae Grads

A bit more enthusiasm may b(> evident in the slightly less pompous ceremonies held in high schools over the nation at this season, where some two million boys and girls are winning recognition for 12 years of successful academic endeavor. About 50 per cent of these young people will go on to col-lege, a national average.

About five per cent fewer of the 575,000 Souther high school graduates will continue their education. And many of the estimated 100,000 high school graduates capable of taking a Ihgher education but financially unable each year come from this region.

This latter group, who will^ not have the opportunity to attend their college graduations three or four years from now, may have been in President Johnson's mind as he spoke Saturday to the University of Texas graduating class of 1964.

MUSCULAR

DYSTROPHY

(Henderson Dispatch)

Job prospects are good for greduates of Southern colleges this summer, the U. S. Department of Labor says. This, to, despite a slowdown in recniit-ing activities by defense - related industries and increased competition, the Southern regional director said at the weekend.

Nearly half a million young men and women will receive bachelor degrees and an additional 100,(X)0 will get advanced degrees. It is estimated that in the twelve States of the south some 120,000 college graduates will be entering the labor force next month, or will be preparing for graduate study.

In most fields, stalling salaries will be slightly higher than last year. Graduates with high ranking in their classes and those with advanced degrees are the prime ob.iectives of the recruiters. Employers, it is explained, start at the top of the class and work down the ladder of scholavStic achievement for their requirements. It is noted also tliat jobs for qualified Negro college graduates have improved substantially over earlier years, *

High emphasis is placed on students who have excelled in the sciences^ engineering and mathematics and statistics* Demand is good also for forestry, teaching^ counseling, li

brary work, law. jouraal i s m, the health professions and civil service. Demand for accountants exceeds the supply in most parts of the country, the department says.

Most of these fields of endeavor represent hard work and detemiined effort on the part of students. The modem world's complex activities and requirements make no allowance for drones. Those who are capable, have ambition and are willing to make whatever sacrifice may be necessary toward service and success will not need to loaf. There will be a placd for them and at good pay. This ought to ^beckon those entering or finishing high school as they prepare for college training.

A high backlog of unemployment will be no problem for young people w'ho have sensed the need for equipping themselves for a career and w ho have seized upon opportunities open to them. Thase who constitute the problem for welfare agencies are the people who lack the Incentive to work and who are content merely to exist on government hando u t s. There are plenty of them, of course, have always been and ahvavs Will be .so long as a bem'ficient Federal establi.sli-meut offers encouragement to tlmt end, and so long as politicians are ready to extend the dole in return lor support at the ballot box.

trying to kail your crab grass.

Or you might destroy w'eeds in your own garden, but the fallout might injure ^rfectly good plants in your neighbors backyard. Sometimes, if not u.sed correctly, atomic weap-ons ckn be as dangerous as DDT.

We believe the ijest way to handle the defoliation program in the United States is to set up a Home Users Service under the Atomic Energy Commission. (If Congress complains that this is another example of government C(MitroI, the AEC could license 1 o w-yield atomic weapons to mailorder houses.

When the foliage in your backyard gets too great, you could call the Defoliation Service, which would send out an experienced crew to take care of the matter. They could either set off the atomic weapon by detonator or, in the case of larger lawns, drop a low-yield bomb from an airplane.

To do the job properly you would need cooperation from your neighbors. Despite the great strides that, have been made in defoliation, you still may have two to three days of fallout, and so your neighbors would have to agree to stay in their cellars until all your crabgrass is dead.

Since it is still in ti experimental stage, there may be instances where the atomic weapon could be too strong for the foliage, and this could make everyone's garden in the area uninhabitable for several w'eeks. But you cant have an omelet if you don't break an egg. and you certainly cant have a good - looking backyard if you dont experiment with new types of weed killers.

We Teel Sen. Goldwater did a great disserxdce to this country by suggesting we defoliate Viet Nam when there Is so much unwanted foliage right here in the United States.

Anyone in his right mind knows defoliation be g i n s at home.

Bracing themselves against a loss in the California Republican presidential primary, the Goldwaterltee are already engaged in extracting comfort from the picture of their man as a brave small enterpriser who is daring to do up against a monopolistic hold Ing company called Rockefeller, Incorporated. The hold 1 n g company, In this portrayal, is described as a merger that has swallowed every other political unit in the partythe Lodge faction, the whole Ike Eisenhower crowd save the^ one that is loyal to the chanc-*' es of Richard Nixon, whose name is not precisely refulgent In California anyway.

Well. California has memories of last - ditch anti - monopoly fights, a the history of the great revolt of the,ranch-' ers and the fruitgrowers against the Southern Paci f 1 c Railroad (The OctojHis of literary legend) attests* Whe^ ther it W1 do any good to invoke the memorie In behalf of Goldwater at this late,date is a question. But Remiblicans who wouid settle in CaUfomta for a couple of down-t|ie-llne victories in November can extract .some crumbs of consolation from the fact that, in the senatorial primaries, It Is the Democrats who seem bent on doing themselves in.

Technically, the Democratic .senatorial fight is be t w e e n State Controller Alan Cranston and John Kennedys man Pierre Salinger, w'ho quit his holdover job as Lyndon Johnsons press secretary to become an instant Californian by dint of registering at a local hotel. Peculiarly enough, accord 1 n g to an equally instant California court decftslon, it is' legal for a man to run for office in a State In which he is not permitted to vote either for himself or anyone else. The carpet - bag aspects of the Salinger candidacy have been underlined in a gag attributed to Bob Hope: Hes the only fellow who ever came to Los Angeles and brought his own smog.

The California Democrat 1 c senatorial contest Is not just betwwen native and outlander; it is also one that involves . the sta.ving power of a memory. The memory. In this case, is not that of Salingers o 1 d boss JFK. Instead, it is the nostalgia that limns the incapacitated figure of Senator Clair Engle. Engles name is still on the ballot, even though the unfortunately crippled man has said he has vrtthdrawn from the race. This means. If precedent holds, that Engle, who has had two recent brain operations, will get a fair number of votes through plain old-fashioned sympathy.

* He will also get some extra votes because (rf inadvertence or ignorance. Whether this will take votes away from Cranston or Salinger is a question. Engles more conscious backers have urged a vote for (?ranston. His less ccmsclous followers would probably be sentimental SaJingerltes If they knew what waa going cm. for Engle is supposedly mad ' at Cranstons backer, Governor Pat Brown, for not sticking by the original Engle candidacy when it was still thought that the sick man would recover in time to campaign.

Another odd facet Is t h a t JFK-man Salinger, the outlander, shapes up as the Democratic right - w'lnger. Where Oanston is the nominee of ths California Demociratic Council, which is described as rep-re.senting everything left of second base, Salinger has been going around the state making speeches that sound a good deal like those of exactor George -Murphy, who Is the leading candidate for the Republican senatorial nomination. Mr. Murphy confesses that he wonders what Salingers political philosophy Is but. as he puts it. "although I didnt start the C(Mifusion Im doing everything I can to encourage It.

The rise in retail sales w hicli most businessmen and economists expect, as reported here yesterday will make itself felt. It appears to be be-'ginnlng now and will have impact on all business.

Both employment and unemployment will rise in June, as it frequently does. Employment \vill rise because of the expansion of constiiiction. the rise in agricultural work and t h c preparations for the .summer vacation season, which niay. al-.so set a new high in exptuidi-tuiTS this year.
