No Justification For The Riotings

Now Let's Buty The Hatchet And

Unite Against The Donkeys!"

Mob violence and civil disobedience such as that which has taken place in New York in recent days should not be tolerated by public officials or condoned by any of the nations law abiding citizens.

It is the kind of mob violence which strikes at the very foundation of democratic government by complete disregard for law and order. The rioting and looting which has taken place in the nations , largest city cannot be justified on any grounds.

As is the case in all such situations where mob action gains control even temporarily, many innocent people have become victims of the raging mob. Civil authorities of the city, the New York police, have sought to cope with the situation but have so far succeeded only in restoring uneasy periods of calm that have been broken repeatedly by new riolence.

The civil disorder must not be allowed to con-^nue in New York any more than it would be allowed to continue in some smaller community else-where in the nation. If local authorities are unable to cope with the situation, the authorities should immediately request assistance from the state or federal government. Even in the absence of such a request, Gov. Rockefeller of New York, and indeed even President Johnson should declare in unmis

takable terms their disapproval of what has gone on in New York these past few days.

Beyond that, if the federal government has the obligation to protect individual citizens where a situation gets out of control in Mississipp or Alabama, it also has the obligation to move with equal vigor and dispatch to protect the citizens who are falling victims to the mob violence in New York.

Where protection of the individual citizen is concerned, there must be no double standard by the federal government based on the size of the community, or its geographic location within the United States. Civil disobedience in New York is just as dangerous to individual citizens and to the nation as civil disobedience anywhere else in the country. It should be dealt with just as firmly by authorities of whatever level of government is needed.

Drop Budget Method Plan

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES

METHOD The much-ballyhooed critical path method (CPM) for preparing and planning the state budget has gone by the boards.

On paper and in theory the pace-age system of programming work looked fine. It set up elalxM^ computer diagrams and precise timetables and deadlines for getting the work done.

Officials said it appeared Ideally suited to the complicated task of budget preparation. North Carolina was the first state to try it.

But it didn't work. Somehow the system bogged down in the complexities of working out line item budgeting for more than 5,000 separate activities in each group ai state agencies and departments.

ABANDON Budget bureau officials who were enthusiastic about CPM when it was put into effect last Fall now admit that it has been virtually abandoned.

Why didnt it work? No one knows exactly. Administration director Hugh Cannm said last October it was felt that it would be the most significant change in state budget procedures since introduction of the A" and "B budget concepta.

CPM is a modem technique of scheduling everything required for a project at exactly the right time and idace. It was develoiKd by and presumably works well for huge private construction companies. It has been adopted by the na-timal space agency for big space and missile projects.

HUMAN Budget officials scnnebow suspect that human factors were a major underlying cause of failure of the CPM system in state budget planning.

Because so many human factors are involved, from the people who submit a budget to the people it will affect, line-Item budgeting for state programs and services is unlike assembling a missile of building a skyscraper. There is a difference.

Human factors are involved dally in budget preparation, a year-around, statewide task. They are Involved all the way from determining of a need, to preparing cost estimates and architectural and engineering designs, to the member of the Advisory Budget Commission who walk through the wards of crippled childrens hospitals or the playrooms for retarded children.

ANALYSIS - Each expenditure of even a few dollars of tax rncmey by the state ctf North (Carolina re<iuires careful analysis by the budget bureau. This is required by law. The bureau observes it faithfully.

The property control division examines not (mly each budget request but also investigates each work order and request for authorization for expending funds even after the money is apprcH>rlated. It looks into financing arrangemrats.

It has the power to wltbold ai^roval on any project which it feels does not meet prescribed standards and purposes.

Wen in advance of requests for capital improvements funds from the legislature, the de-partm^t (rf administrations property control prepares detailed, itemized cost estimates. These are returned to the institution and Ixidget requests usually are based on the recommendations.

INSPECT Budget bureau and property control officials and experts are on a constant schedule of visiting and inspecting state-owned and state-supported facilities.

Then, when the Advisory Budget Commission begins its biennial inspection tours, the top officials as athninlstration director Hugh Cannon, budget officer G. Andrew Jones, Property control officer Prank Turner, assistant property ccoitnd officer Robert Bourne, Purchase and Ccmtact director John Henley and oiben.

Ih every case of a (uesUon, the exact information was at the commlsskms fingertips.

EXPLAIN - What the CPM syston would produce, as an end product, would be mere line items among many thousands of line items contained in the $2 bilUon budget.

Behind each Une item there is an explanati(m and human judgment and reason. Neither CPM or any other system of budget preparatloD could escape this.

Cannon stressed at the outset of toe CPM experiment, We arent replacing brainpower with diagrams or machines. The system had to rely on toe human factory as always.

The difficulty was, in ca-sence that these human factors and Judgments could no tbe so rapklly c(trolled snd regu-Uted.

Although he has withdrawn from the presidential contest as an independent candidate, Gov Wallace of Alabama remains an individual whose voice will influence the votes of many Americans who go to the polls in November.

In spite of speculation that he ultimately will support the candidacy of Republican nominee Sen. Barry Goldwater, the governor of Alabama has chosen for the moment to remain silent about his role in the presidential campaign. There can be no doubt, however, that Gov. Wallace will have a role in the campaign one way or the other. Aside from the two major party candidates themselves. Gov. Wallace of Alabama may well prove to be the most influential single voice in the country so far as the November presidential ballotting is concerned.

In view of this fact, and in view of the fact that Gov. Wallace has said he will await development at the Democratic national convention in August before saying more about his role in the presidential campaign, there is the suggestion that the Wallace influence may be evident at the Democratic convention.

Gov. Wallace has gained considerable support' in Southern states. But there is also the fact that his strong showing in Wisconsin and other states in which he entered presidential primaries suggests the views he expressed find support in more than just one geographic section of the country.

At the outset of his effort as an independent presidential candidate, Gov. Wallace said frankly he did not expect to become president of the country. His purpose, he said, was to give voice to a position he felt should be heard throughout the nation. In announcing his withdrawal, Gov. Wallace expressed the opinion his purpose has been accomplished. He indeed has made his voice heard across the country.

how much information you have on hand. My personal thoughts on the subject (exceedingly black at times) are that the worst punishment for an inquisitive lad would be to tape record his chatter on a trip and force him to listen to it on his 21st birthday.

Lets take this rather com-licated question as an example: Papa, how come it rained here?

Changes Stanc.

To the Editor

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) - Alabamas segregationist governor. George C. Wallace, is no novice In hopping from position to position. He has hopped again, this time in announcing his withdrawal as an Independent candidate for president.

This will almost certainly benefit Sen. Barry Goldwater. the Republican presidential candiste. who has said no Republican could hope to win this years election without the South. >

Goldwater, who voted against this years civil rights bill wasa expected to cut into President Johns<Hif Southern margin by capturing a lot of the segregationists, votes. But Wallace would have won a lot of them, too, if he ran.

JAMES

MARLOW

By running. Wallace would IH'obably have hurt Goldwater more than Johnson. Wallace (Udnt say Sunday which candidate he wUl back. He indicated be would say more after next months Democratic conven-tkm.

Wallace did say be would support whichever major party candidate proved to be tbe more conservative and zealous in upholding tbe principles of free enterprise, local government and states rights. Its Goldwater who has made n career of championing a 11 those points.

It seems hardly s coincidence, therefore, that WaUace stepped out of tbe race just

four days after Goldwater got tbe Republican nomination.

His present reluctance to name his choice can be interpreted as an attempt to pressure the Democrats into toning down the civil rights plank in the platform they nail together at the (xmventioo, since hes a leader of the anti-civil rights forces and the Southern vote is Important.

The Republican civil rights plank is surely milder than anything the Democrats are likely to produce if only because it was their Democratic-run Congress under Johnsons pressure which passed toe new Civil Rights Act this month.

Even some Republicans thought their plank didnt go far enough, but thetr attempts to strengthen it were rushed by the Goldwater forces.

Wallace suprised politicians ealier this year vjlth the votes he ran up in Democratic presidential primaries in Maryland, Indiana and Wisconsin. He zig-zagged on what he was going to do.

At one time be said be wouldnt be a presidential candidate. Then be came around to saying he would be a serious (me. Now he has changed again.

Asked Sunday If he would enforce the new civil rights law. he replied that was for the federal govemmmt to do. although, he said, he never encouraged disobedience or defiance of any law. He forgot about 1963.

Last year when g federal court ordered desegregation (A the University of Alabama and the admittance of two Negroes, Wallace said he would bar their entrance himself, adding? This Is legal resistance and legal defiance.

He barred tbe door and the late President John P. Kennedy had to federalize the Alabama National Guard before Wallace would step inside. Then he trotted away.

The power of the press and of those who control the views expressed has. of a certainty, reached its zenith. There was a time when one bad to turn to tbe editorial page in order to determine the political leanings of the Powers That Be. Now, however, the brainwashing and influence is found on the front page which has become tbe sounding board for most or many of our newspapers especially when we arrive at the ending of the quadrennial era of politics.

From east to west and from north to south, it is considerecl an undisputable fact that All the southern states are recognized by the terra, THE SOLID SOUTH. In essence, this means that all eleven southern states are fanatically dedicated and devoted to the Democratic party and will accept at face value, or whatever value we are told it may have, anything they wish to do to us regardless of its detriment to o u r well-being. Like the tree thats planted by the water, they shall not be moved in spite of the consequence involved. Oh, they will grumble, compahn, criticize, and literally swear some very strong oaths. But that is as far as it goes. They feel there is nothing they can do. Every news media that has its money-grubbing paws in the till has brainwashed poor SOLID SOUTH to the extent they honestly believe their only and sole salvati(m is within the Democratic jmrty. How did poor. SOLID SOUTH reach this sta^ tion in life?

The unreliable Gallup Poll and every other poU has been printed as tbe gospel and sounded off by our news commentators with such enthusiasm unUl poor SOLID SOUTH can no longer think for himself. He has been Influenced by the fattening which builds bigger and greater empires of

those so-called leaders oi the Democratic party. In order to get his vote, a handout is promised to everybody even the abolishment of poverty!

The slanted views reach us by design rather toan by mere coincidence. The well planned and organized machine has its views printed on the front page, the second page, the back page, the editorial page, and any other page that may be found Inside, The Democratic party and its Ideology has been so well nurtured In the mind of the SOLID SOUTH by this media that he had rather fight than switch.

The clarion call of today is the plea for revival. Not a regression to the Stone Age as the Ultra-liberals of either party would have us believe. This plaintive cry is merely asking for the restoration of the concepts forged by our Pounding Fathers into an instrument known as THE CONSTITUTION OP THE UNITED STATES OP AMERICA. It was by the adoption of this great document through the will of the people that truly has made America the Beautiful and sweet land of liberty.

In order to understand the term, revival, I direct your attention to the great men of old who, though in the minority during periods of severe crisis and Impending disaster, dared to stand and be counted as opposing the national trend toward heathenism. These great men are easilty researched through the pages of Jonah, Isiah. Jerlmlah, Daniel and others. Their prophetic caD to revival and return to God is still ringing loud and clear today.

There Is now appearing a small but growing segment of the SOLID SOUTH. Not all are blind. The grass-root movement has finally taken form. The shape is like that of an immature lass who we wUl (Continued on page 6)

The parent Is faced with (1) trying to figure out if the truck ahead is about to make a U-Tum or mearly weaving on the road, (2) guessing which side the oncoming car will choose to pass him and (3) whether to try and change the subject or give I full weather report with an explanation of atmospheric conditions.

Without waiting for an answer the child asks, Papa, what kind of rock formation is that?

No one wants to appear poorly informed so without any .idea of which rock formation you answer, Thats regional metamorphic.

The child then wants to know how can you tell when you didnt even look and you reply that you turned your eye enough to see. He then ask if you think his cousins went fishing today.

And you say, Im sure they are fishing now.

He asks. Why?

And you say, I heard them talking about going fishing. Next comes, What time is it?

You turn your wrist a little and suggest he look at the watch. Wberecpon he climbs to his knees on the seat and leans In front of you, resting on the steering wheel as you start into a curve and at course you shout loudly.

So he looks like you hit him with a fence post and asks. Whadda you yeU at me for?

In these moments you struggle with tbe idea of belting him one but finally answer, I didnt teU you to sit in my lap.

Maybe, maybe. But. dodging the lntemati(al InpUcatlona of P^Uis Schlaflys celebraUoo of accurate hip-shooting, one may say that the nomination of Barry Goldwater In San Francisco was quite In keeping with the citys tradition.

Nothing in the history of the town smacks of measuring out ones span of life In mincing spoonfuls of prudence. They werent prudent men who responded to the news of gold in Sutters mlUrace. They werent prudent men who marched behind Lieutenant Mtmtgomery to plant the American eagle in Portsmouth Plaza.

And the Kings of t h Comstock silver lode who reared their mansions on Nob HUl knew how to twirl a gun or two.

The world has changed since then. But it might not hurt for Khrushchev and Mao Tse-tung to be reminded of the history of San Francisco.

I started to come back with him frtxn the Cow Palace to San Francisco at 12 oclock one night. It was three oclock before I got to bed. Walter had a taxi lined up to take us in. But when a group of CORE demonstrators attempted to lie down at the Cow Palace gates, Winchell said, I gotta see this. A minute later he was up (m the roof directing camera men.

Then he was down In toe crowd, insisting that a Negro civil rights protester with a big police dog in leash stop to be Interviewed. Walter wanted to know whether the protester was returning the compliment for Birmingham, Ala. He received this answer: Weve got the dog here for experience. Were training him."

Walter had the guts to remind the demonstrators that it wasn't quite to keeping with their protestati(xi8 of peace to shout, We want Barry Goldwater with a rope around his neck.

When our cab had finally broken through toe dem(HUtrar tors and gotten into the city limits ot San Francisco, we ran into a fire. Stop. said Walter to the cab driver, I gotta see this.

Auto Industry Is Put On A Spot

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS WHAT OF HIM?

We have aU, as we sat to theatres watching a dramatic performance, observed the part whicb toe spotlight plays. Away up 8(xnewhere. hidden from the view of everyone, is a cbMP who knows bow to work the spotlights. He turns them on the spot they are supposed to Dlumtoate and he meets his appointment by a split-second. Without him there could be DO finished theatrical performance.

Yet who knows very much about this spotlight operator? Do you know one? Do you know any(we who does know such a person? No, toe man who operates the spotlight is cooped up to some Uttle place where he never sees anything but tbe performance going on oefore him. Neither does any^ one see him. He Is Important,

but his importance is unsung. Everyone applauds the lead-tog actors, the great singers, the marvelous dancers. But nobody says, and wasnt tbe man who operated tbe spotlight simply marvelous?

How many people there are to life precisely like this spotlight operator! They bring light to others. They illuminate the world round about them. E)veryone finds the world so much better and happier because of their efforts. But seldom does t b e spotlight operator in any area of life get his just reward. Bravo for the great singer Hurraha for tbe wonderful comedian. And wasnt the leading lady a dream!

But the guy who operated fpotlight. who really mads the performance what it tamed out to be, what of him?

By ELMER ROESSNER Calliomlas approval off our exhaust control devices has put the auUMHobile industry on the spot.

The state earlier had approved several crankcase fume control devices and now requires them on new cars or any used cars that change hands. This controls about 30 per (^ent ot smog-making engine emissions.

The four newly approved devices wUl take care ot the remaining 70 per cent. According. to California law, all new cars sold in the state one year after exhaust control devices are approved must be so equipped.

Car makers were hoping they would not be re(]ulred to Install such e(]ulpmeot until the fan of 1966, when the new 1967 models wUl come out. Californias action at this time, however, means they must Install exhjJist controls next year on IWB models. Its either that or* be barred from a

lucrative 800J)00-new- a r s-a-year maricet.

UNPREPARED

The trouble is that the auto manufacturers are not ready with their own exhaust control devices despite a tremendous development effort to tbe last few years. And they wont be ready until the 1967 model year.

Therefore, they wiD have to buy and huall one of tbe four units recently approved on their 1966 model cars.

Another problem facing toe manufacturers is the possible steps other states and communities may take in the wake of California's action. Many legislatures are watching the slt-uatiiHi carefully because they have developed smog problems of their own.

The auto manufacturers concede that CTallfomias smog problem stems largely from car fumes. But they contend, correctly, that In many other smog areas toe automotole Isnt the principal vUlato. Fac

tories. refineries and other (xmimerclal operations also contaminate tbe air. FOLLOW-THE-LEADER

But political leaders may well enact blanket regulations modeled after Californias even though such a move wouldnt significantly help their own particular problem. This wUl add to manufacturers burden of sorting out what cars should have the e<iulpmit.

The manufacturers are also concerned that anti-mog equipment wUl increase ne^ car prices frcMn $30 to $90 and adding sales resistance.

One ironic fact is that used

cars to Calif(HTila wlU not

have to be equipped with ex

haust c(mtrol devices until a year after the new cars

If then. Yet old cars, with their worn oiglnes, are the

major c(mtributors to smog.

Tbe reason for tbe delay is that at least two devices must be approved by the state and be available for one year before they become mandatory. Only one of tte four devices recently approved U adaptable to used cars.
