Recreational Development Of Tor

No Super Highway Ahead

Those of US who have lived here on the banka of the Tar through the years tend to think that the muddy little river outlived its usefulness when the railroads came through at the turn of the century and the commercial boats disappeared.

Some time rafter that, municipalitie^s along the Tar began to install what was thought of as modern pewage systems. For years after, raw sewage was dumped into the river. Except for this and providing a source of water for some municipalities the Tar serv^ed little purpose.

It is true a paddle boat was to be seen occasionally lazily floating down the Tar, a half asleep fisherman at the helm. But all he was likely to catch was catfish or carp, two fish that many true fishermen consider less than desirable .

In this time of increasing leisure and the boating, water skiing and sport fishing craze, however, the Tar can serve the thousands who live along its banks.

A step in this direction has been taken with the announcement that the Corps of Engineers is taking bids for snagging and clearing the river

channel from the Green Street bridge to Tarboro. This will provide a minimum 20 inch depth suitable for boating and other recreation.

The question immediately arises: Why stop at the Green Street Bridge? Just beyond in the Shore Drive Redevelopment area the city has plans for a park with boat launching ramps along the waters edge. '

Thus it is completely logical that the clearing of logs and other obstructions from the Tar be continued in an easterly direction. This, after all, is the straightest stretch of the river and persons launching boats in Greenville would be likely to head downstream toward the ample waters of the Pamlico.

Thanks to modern sewage disposal plants the Tar has been cleaned up. The Corps of Engineers project to clean out the channel from Greenville to Tarboro is a good one. It simply does not go far enough.

We urge everyone who is interested in the recreational development of the Tar to lend his support to efforts aimed at continuing the snagging and clearing project eastward to Washington.

Moore Intends At This Point, unity

Make Chanaes

By WUXIAM A. SHIRE.S

RALEIGH PoUUcal notebook:

Dan K. Moore made it clear last week that there will be sweeping changes in state government if he is nominated and elected governor.

This, 0 course, has been lAsumed all al<mg virtually since the 1964 campaign began and Moore assumed a role as an anti-Sanford administration candidate. But he stated it flatly last week on his second primary campaign tour through 48 Eastern and Piedmont counties, territory which he described as Lake country.

He called making changes In the administration" (me of the most important "common objectives he shared with Dr. 1. Beverly Lake.

And. said Moore, I mean to make these changes if 1 am elected governor of this fine state."

CHANGES Thus it is now double clear that if Moore should be elected, the axe c 11 be expected to fall in many places within reach of the gov-em(w8 office.

It is the prerogative of every incoming chief executive to make as many changes as he wishes within limits of his c<mstltutioaal and appointive powers, or that he can persuade the General Assembly to enact. Governors of North Carolhia. while king the legislative veto, derive much of their influence and pre^ige from their wide power of executive appointment.

This power extends into many, many departments and agencies, boards and commissions and into the state's Democratic party machine r y as well.

Moore did not mention specific Jobs or positi(wi.s beyond a renewed promise to reorganize the State Highway Commission which he has attacked repeatedly for political activity during the campaign.

But he left no doubt that there would be numerous changes many changes" in the present administration.

IMPORTANT - What Moore proposes to do a.s goveni o r takes on increa.sed importance In the .second primary campaign. Many political oteervers believe that Mo(re. with the backing and endorsement of Lake and the bulk of Lake's first primary support. Ls the iront-nmner and favorite to W'ln over L. Richardson Prey-er in the June 27 run-off.

He spelled out some of his proposals, including that for making widespread changes, and said my theme was unity unity of the Democratic party and unity of the .state of North Carolina." ,

He promised no favoritism or partiality and said there

is no meaningful difference between East and West our problems are essentially the .same." And he said, I have no desire to build a political empire.

In the matter of making changes, Moore again appealed to first primary Lake supporter by saying I am sure Dr. Lake would have made the same changes." Moore earlier promised that the people who supported Dr. Lake in the first primary. , .will, Indeed, have an important voice in my administration and I expect to .seek Dr. Lakes own advice frequently throughout my administration."

POINT This pledge to the Lake people has been a strong point in sustaining enthusiasm among the Lake supporters.

One Lake leader, now prominently In the Moore camp, explained his enthusiasm this way:

After losing three times, wouldnt you be enthusiastic to think that you're finally going to be on the winning side?"

There are reports, not confirmed either by Moore or Lake or their top aides, that in the event of a Moore victory some choice appointments wiU go to leaders in the Lake camp, possibly even to Dr. Lake himself if he should de.slre such. However. it was made clear In the Moore-Lake negotiations following the first primary that Dr. Lake asked nothing for himself, only that his supporters be recognized. Moore quickly said the people w'ho supported Dr. Lake in the, first primary are people any candidate for governor would welcome in hLs campaign and in his administration."

NOTES Preyer-for-gover-nor forces have launched an Intensive campaign to lncrea.se the voting turnout in heavily-populated Piedmont counties. This effort includes newspaper advertising urging a maximum effort for Preyer to help offset the western bloc-voting and special Interest opposition. .

It says heavy Piedmont voting is critically important" because Preyer Is pitted against an extremely powerfu 1 political alliance behind a highly sectionalized candidate.

Ninth District Republicans mapped campaign strategy for Rep. Jim Broyhill of Lenoir at a meeting in Statesville ia.st week. Broyhill promised to campaign in every precinct of the district this Fall,

Democratic hopeful Dr. W, D. 'Billi James of Hamlet is chafing for the Eighth Congressional district campaign to begin. The campaign "is In a lull right now," he says, but not because I'm not working.

If Pennsylvanias Gov. William Scranton pulls off his bid to stop Goldwater and become the GOP presidential nominee, he probably will become known as Bili-the-giant-killer.

In a year that has seen a fabulous parade of stop-Goldwater hopefuls, it seems most unlikely that an eleventh hour coalition of former leading GOP candidate.s will be able to sidetrack the Goldwater wagon train.

First there was Lodge who scored an early victory in New England and snatched the spotlight from Goldwater. There was a time when Richard Nixon appeared to be the man to whom the Republican might turn as an alternate to Goldwater. Then there was the Rockefeller victory in Oregon that seemed for a few weeks to have snatched from Goldwater the Republican prize. But then there came the California primary and the Senator from Arizona again appeared to have enough marbles to win the game.

Saturday the young Republican governor of Pennsylvania announced boldly that he would challenge Goldwater in the face of almost insurmountable odds. Yesterday Gov. Rockefeller, after a multi-million dollar effort to gain the nomination, announced he is supporting Scranton in an effort to grab the nomination from Goldwater.

For whatever else may be said at this point, it does not appear likely that any Republican who gets the (iOP nomination can expect to have wholehearted support even within the Republican ranks come the fall campaign.

Scranton Also Contradictory

By J.\MES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) Pennsylvanias Gov. William W. Scranton and the man he is trying to head off for the Republican presidential nomination, Arizonas Sen. Barry Goldwater, have one thing In common: they contradict

themselves.

So does fonner Vice President Richard M, Nixon.

On June 4 Scranton said he could run for the vice presidency on the ticket with Gold-waler and said he did ot know of any extremely basic differences" betw'een them.

He said: "Both of us believe in a strong foreign policy . . . In the governments actions being .strong on the local level. then on the state, and finally on the federal level.

There are comparatively little differences betw'een various Republican leaders.

He added he didn't know precisely Goldwater's views on civil rights although why not is hard to explain. Goldwater has talked plenty about them.

Up to this time Scranton had said he was not a presidential candidate, would be willing to be drafted, but wasnt .stirred up enough about the issues although in almost the very next sentence he said he was stirred up about for-eicii problems and our lack of leadership

Then on June 12 he switched, announced his candidacy for the presidency, .said he had said many times he was not Interested In the vice pit'si-dency, and called Goldwatcrs views a weird parody on Republican beliefs. He listed a number of differences between him and Goldwater.

He went on to accuse Goldwater without mentioning his name of spreading "havoc" and complained that a small but vocal minority too oftc:i has made our party .sound naive, irre.sponsible, re

actionary and heai-tless."

But after this he was a.sked: if Goldwater got the nomination, would he support him: He said he would do everything in his power, no matter who is nominated, to see that we have a united party."

Nowhere has he precisely spelled out where he disagrees with Goldwater except now he says one of the factors which induced him to become a candidate was Goldwaters vote last week against ending the . filibuster against the civil rights bill, a position Goldwater had long said he would take.

Yet since Juue 4. when Scranton said he could be Goldwaters running mate and saw no basic differences between them Goldw'ater has neither said nor done anything that he hadnt said or done before June 4.

Meanwhile, Goldwater. who has created an image of himself a.s a Ro-get-em man with rolled up sleeves." Sunday refused an invitation to debate the issues with Scranton and New Yorks Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller.

Goldwater. a free enterprise man, said they could go get their own audience. Through all this, and before. Nixon had been performing.

In the past two years Nixon said he was finished with public office and would not even let himself be drafted for the presidency, then said he would accept the nomination. He tried to stir up opposition to Goldwater but said he wasn't trying to stop the Arizonan, called Sci-anton a puppet, said he wasnt a puppet, said Scranton had given a "weak" and vacillating" and bad impression" on television but changed to say he looks strong and wound up by saying he wasn't criticizing Scranton but w'as only trying to analyze his problems.

'"he Summer Goof-O

NEW YORK (AP) There are two annual goof-off periods in the average business office the winter doldrums and the summer doldrums.

We now are in the time of the sunjuer doldrums.

Management bulletin boards bloom with exhortatory signs of the staff.

Appeals make very little impact on the hired hands.

The boss calls a conference of his executives for ideas to pep up the morale of the staff and put more incentive and drive in the organization.

In the middle of the conference he looks around and discovers half his executives are dozing and the other half are staring out the window with glazed eyes. The great summer letdown has hit them, too.

His anger gives way to a yawn. He has become a victim of the general listles.sness himself. He thinks it would be nice to be out on a golf course.

There are several reasons why the work pace slows dur

ing the season of the summer goof-off.

The main one is that the staff is more interested in spending its own money than in making money for the firm. The w'arming weather fills them with a deepening laziness and drains ambition from their brains.

"Vacations become the all-important topic. The coffee breaks and lunch hours get longer as the payroll peasants brag to each other about where they are going, or lie to each other about the fun they had at the place theyve just been.

It is hard for an outside salesman to phone an order into the office. All the lines are tied up by employes calling travel agencies, arranging personal loans, or making longdistance calls to be sure that Lake Bide-a-wee has I'esei'ved a room for them for two weeks in August.

Another reason for the hot weather slump is that the office becomes pretty much like

Other Editors Saying.. eaf Mens Concern

(Rocky Mount Telegram)

Tobacco warehousemen in South Carolina took a long, close look at their industry during the past week and what they saw disturbed them. W. H. Anderson, secretary - treasurer of the Tobacco Growers Information Committee of Raleigh, declares bluntly that the tobacco industry is in serious trouble and much of it is unjustified.

One of the reasons for the trouble now facing the industry, of course, is the smoking report issued by the U.S. Surgeon General which labeled tobacco as a health hazard. This report has had a terrific impact on the industry. Thi.s can be seen in cigarette sales.

Cigarette sales declined by 13 billion units during the first quarter of" this year, and there Is no question that the drop was due to the smoking report. Federal tax revenues from the sales also were affected. declining some thing like $59 million from the same period last year.

Anderson has the same opinion about the smoking report as many others: that the surgeon generals report had .so much impact because it was introduced to the public In such a dramatic way. There are section.s of the report, however, which receiv

ed no publicity, sections which favor tobacco, calling it a fine, cheap tranquilizer.

But the atmosphere in Washington is currently not favorable for tobacco. Th e r e is some hope, however, that the situation will become better because in spite of a similar report some years ago prepared by the Royal College of Pliysician.s British cigarette sales reached record heights in 1%.3.

Even so, tiiere Is reason for concern about the industry in general. In Rhodesia there is a record crop of flue - cured tobacco being harvested about 300 million pounds. Practically all of this crop is available for export.

Canada has record crops of flue-cred available. Large stocks of low - grade f 1 u e-cured leaf have built up in the Philippine.s. India has been expanding its flue - cured production. Other nation.'i are l>e-ginning to expand hurley production as well as flue - cured output.

If the U. S. Is going to hold its own in the world trade, it must make its tobacco competitive in price as well as quality. That is a challenge that cannot be ignored by the domestic industry if the present woes are to be dealt with realistically.

a battlefield aid station. Half the employes have become walking wounded.

If they dont come down with summer colds, they come to work bandaged from insect stings, romping through poison ivy, fishhook injulres.or cases of sumbum or general exhaustion.

Attempts have been made to solve the problems raised by the midyear letdown. Some firms simply close up shop for the duration.

But the only sure cure to let the disease run iUs course. By Labor Day. everybodys health is so run down He Is glad to get his mind back on the job.

With the coming of each setting vsun: Have you thought of the days work w^ell done?

We realize that your mind Is not an automatic device. . . but that it needs props on which to lean, guidance of .stronger ones, ones that have stood the test. Yet there Is within you germ thoughts of the future, as courage, tenacity. endurance, love and the will to move forw^ard.

Do .vou dare express your thoughts today? Do .vou?

Having failed to head off Barry Goldwater in the crucial California primary or to - drum up a last-minute coall-ticui against him at the Cleve-/^land Governors Conference, liberal commentators are now weeping crocodile tears in In their attempt to scare the delegates to San Francisco by pre^cting the worst for Congressional candidates if they have to run on a Goldwater ticket.

This is a desperatiwi tactic pure and. simple. Its fUmslne.ss is apparent the moment one looks at the regional patterns that govern Republican hopes for Congressional success.

So far as the third of the Senate" that is up for grabs this year, most Republicans who figure either to retain their seats or to bounce out Democratic incumbents stand to benefit from running with a conservative at the head of the national ticket. And the handful of liberal or neutral Republican Senatorial aspirants who hope to win are pretty much loners" who make their owTi campaigns anyway.

Lets run down the list a bit.

In Maryland, Senator Glenn J. Ball, Republican incumbent, likes to think of himself as a moderate, even though his letters to his constituents range him more often than not on the conservative side. Beall 6fay resist a Goldwaterite label, but, in running for office In a border state that laid marfS^ a Presidential vote on the line for Alabamas Governor Wallace in the Democratic primary, it cannot hurt Beall to i^ve Goldwater had up the graq Republican effort.

Indiana, which Is Gold-w^atefr Country. Democratic Sentor Vance Hartke Is wor-riea because there is a conservative drift in his state. In California Republican Senatorial candidate George Murphy, a firm anti-Communlst. will certainly be more at home on a Goldwater ticket than he w^ould have been on a Rockefeller ticket. In New Mexico, Republican Senator Ed Mech-em. who took Chavezs old seat, could be in trouble because of the .Spanish-Anglo" stand-off In local voting patterns, but the fact^'that Goldwater himself ri a $outhwesterner cannot hurt him.

In Wyoming, the Democratic .incumbent, Senator Gale McGee, Is himself in trouble becwise he is coming up for re-election In a conservatism. The same Is true with Democrat Bill Proximire of Wisconsin, w'ho has been veering toward the conservative side in hi.s votes in the Senate. As for Ohio. Democrat Stephen Young must fight against the Taft name as represented by young Bob Taft.

Since Barry Goldwater Is not demanding a national rlght-to-wnrk law. the old issue that once defeated Senator Bricker in Ohio will not rise to plague young Bob Taft even if Goldwater i.s the Presidential nominee. In Nebra.ska, Republican Senator Roman Hruska Ls distinctly his own man.

So where dos all thb leave us? It leaves us with Republican Senator Kenneth Keating worried about re-election in New York State, and Hu-ili Scott pondering his future as Pennsylvania envoy to Washington. The view from this column's perspective is that Keating and Scott are the sort of characters who will win or lose by their own behavior. Ken Keating, like Democrat Tom Dodd of Connecticut, is a hard-liner against Communist activity in foreign affairs, and Is consequently well-fixed to pick up conservative and minority bloc votes on foreign policy issue,s. Rut. again like Tom Dodd, Keating If a wel-Lue-stater at home. Whether he wins or loses will depend on his own independent appeal to congenital ticket-splitters. And Hugh Scott 1 s perfectly capable of getting many spllt-ticket votes in Pennsylvania, As for Delaware.s Republican Senator John J. Williams, he Is running on his strength as the man who blew the whistlt (Continued on page 6)

The danger of a new Federal law permitting price-fixing nationally by manufacturers seems to be over for this year at least.

The so-called ^Quality Stabilization Bill was" tabled in an early moraing session of the Senate Commerce Committed. This happened eight days after the Supreme Court had upheld tlie Ohio Fair Trade Law Backers of the Q S measure had hoped that the h i g h courts approval of the principal of price - fixing might give a psychological push to the Senate bill, whicli would allow every manufacturer of a trade market product to set the retail price theremi.
