Dividends Rest With The Students

How much youngsters get out of the new ities ever offered in the public schools of North school year will depend in large measure on how Carolina. But this in itself is only part of the quest much effort they put forth to take advantage of of the state for quality education for all its youn^ the opportunities that are offered. . people.

The people of North Carolina in the next Good schools, adequate classroom space, excel-Tiine months will spend hundreds of millions of lent teachers and all the extras that go with our dollars to operate the public schools around the public schools cannot provide young people with the state. In these classrooms the young people of the kind of education they need unless the youngs-state will be offered the best educational opportun- ters themselves are willing to put forth a great effort

to take advantage of the opportunities offered.

The hours spent in the classrooms will mean little unless the young people also apply themselves to study during their hours outside the classroom as well. The lectures of teachers will provide little information of lasting importance to the students unless the students put forth the effort necessary to learn.

Taxpayers of the state who are providing the millions in local and state funds that make possible the operation of another year of public schools expect that investment to pay dividends in the form of better educated young people throughout the state. Whether the goal is realized will depend not only on the effort made by teachers and schqol officials during the next nine months, but the effort that is made by the students as well.

Arms And The Man

nity Struggle At High

,evei

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES MEET At the time set for a second caucus of North Carolina's delegation to the Democratic National Conven-tiwi. unbeknown to most of the delegates, an important, high-level meeting was going on.

Leaders of opposing factions of the state party, who had been almost at each other s throats all week, were huddling privately' in a smoke-filled Atlantic City hotel room.

It was evident that they sat down together for a last-ditch effort to reach a compromise on the question of overriding Importance facing the waiting delegation what to do about the election and certifying of WilUam E. (Billy) Webb as national committeeman.

Word circulated that t h e White House was Interested in seeing the North Carolina matter settled quietly and without causing further clamor and unfavorable publicity on the national convention scene, already upset by the bolt of Mississippi Democrats and loyalty pledge defiance by Alabama.

The nomination of President Lyndon B. Johnson was wily a few hours and a few blocks away.

FUROR The furor In North Carolina was over the fact that Webb signed a Wallace for President petition cir -culated In the state last July and was being branded dis-lo.val because of it. ,

There were demands that his name be withdrawn, but gubernatorial nominee Dan K. Moore, who selected Webb, refused.

Moore said he was satisfied about Webbs party loyalty and assurance that he will sup-port the national ticket. He called the petition signing an immaterial accident.

At the same time. Moore felt that forcing Webb to withdraw now would split the state pai^y

fuilher instead of prwnoting ^ unity and healing factional Wounds.

. It would he felt, have the effect of driving 60,{W0 signers of the Wallace petitions out of the party.

RESOLUTION But a res-olution to rescind Webbs election was Introduced at the first caucus of the delegation ; Tuesday evening his ap-"polntment would be a source of embarrassment to the more than one million loyal Democrats,

The resolution added, We cannot expect to gain unity by putting Into a position of national leadership for our Party 'a man who so recently foUow- cd Wallace out of the Democratic party. We will lose far more than we might gain.

Pactional lines were clear. The resoluticm was submitted by supporters of Gov. Sanford and unsuccessful candidate for governor, L. Richardson Pre-yer, who make up a heavy majority In the delegation.

Prcycr himself urged approval of the resolution after such senior party stalwaits as Commerce Secretary Luther H. Hodges, Sens. Sam J. Ervin Jr. and Everett Jordan, and Rep. Herbert C. Bonner supported Moores position and ur^ed its defeat.

At Hodges suggestion aigl on his substitute motion, carried 28 to 231-2, the resolution was held in abeyance until Webb himself could be heard at a second caucus to be called by Sanford, the delegation chairman.

This was scheduled tentatively for 11 a. m. Wednesday.

HUDDLE When the time comes, word was sent that there would be no caucus for some time, possibly several hours not at least until the private, high - level meeting broke up.

Those meeting privately included Governor Sanford, Moore, Preyer, out-gomg national committeeman W. W. Staton, former state party chairman Bert Bennett; Jr., nevr chairman-elect J. Melville Broughton and others.

Outgoing state chairman W. Lunsford Crew said he was certain that they're trying to work something out.

LAKE Not attending the meeting but keenly interested in the outcome were several supporters of Dr. I. Beverly Lake, among them State Sen. Robert Morgan and Quincy Nimocks of Fayetteville, both of whom supported Moore in the second primary and who were in Moores party in Atlantic City.

From Raleigh, Dr. Lake sent word that he feels the movement to oust Webb arose o| factional grounds because Webb was a Lake supporter. He warned that rejecting Webb would destroy chances for intraparty unity and harmony.

Morgan said that Moore personally selected Webb for the national committee post without advice of Dr. Lake on the choice, although Dr. Lake approved the choice after it was made.

Moore pointed out during caucus debate that he has attempted to make appointments from a cross-section of party factions in the interst of party unity. His latest appointment, that of Mrs. O. Max Gardner Jr. of Shelby as state vice chairman, was from the Preyer camp. Mrs. Gardner supported Preyer in the primaries.

WEBB Bly Webb himself was a key figure in the pre-caucus high level strategy meeting.

The Statesville Insurance man prevented from coming to Atlantic City earlier because of a tragedy, the sudden death of his father last weekend, flew to the convention city Tuesday afternoon and was prepared to appear before the

Mob Action For The Sake Of Pillage, Loot

Widespread rioting and looting which has taken place in Philadelphia in recent days by no stretch of the imagination can be said to have been precipitated by a civil rights incident.

It was obviously mob action for the purpose of plunder and theft, the destruction of property and the defiance of established authority. It is the kind of mob violence which is inexcusable and which cannot be tolerated under any circumstances anyw'here in the United States.

With some 1,500 police patroling the area in which the worst of the destruction and plunder took place, things have quieted down to some extent in Philadelphia the past couple of nights.

But the damage has been done. It was evident p ctat Pf^VT T?

that the normal police force even of that large city Py rlALi pUxIjI^

was unable to control the mob violence or provide protection for life and property during the outbursts.

This and other incidents which have taken place in some of the nations largest cities in recent weeks point clearly to the fact that there should be ready assistance available for local law enforcement agencies in such emergencies.

When such incidents occur there should be no hesitancy in calling out the local national guard units ^ help enforce law and order. If necessary, there should be immediate movement of federal troops into the troubled areas at the request of local authorities. It is not enough to wait until the damage has been done, property destroyed and lawlessness has run rampant for hours or days before taking such action to bulster the effectiveness of local law enforcement agencies.

Mob violence must not and should not be tolerated. -n i

Clues To Distinction

NEW YORK (AP) - It is a truism of our times that the sexes are getting more alike In America.

As a matter of fact, it is getting harder and harder to tell them apart.

In the Middle Ages there was no such problem. If a creature h ad 1 ong hair and wore a long dress, it was a woman. If It has on a suit of metal and clanked when it walked, it was a man. Each could tell the sex of the other on sight.

But since knighthood no longer is in flower, the identity of the sexes has become more puzzling. The spread of the equal rights movement and the rise of the togetherness cult have so intermingled the historicroles (rf men and women that both have become somewhat confused.

Women and men now work at the same jobs. They play the Sme sports. They dress alike, particularly in their youthful years, and they talk about the same things.

However there were reports that this still would be unacceptable to sponsors of the resolution, who plainly held sufficient voting strength to oust Webb.

They were reported to be insisting that Webb withdraw quietly and announce his resignation. and that Moore agree to this and nominate someone else as the price of unity in Atlantic City if not back home.

The two unit research facility for studying plant growth will be one of only five in the world. Others are located at Cal Tech in California; Moscow; Gif, Prance; and Canberra, Australia.

A phytotron is a research facility in which plants can be studied under a wide range of _ environmental conditions.

It permits scientists to ci^e-ate their own weather conditions temperature, light and humidity, without regard to natures growing seasons and whims.

We can turn summer to winter a.s far as plants are concerned. explains one of the leaders of the project. We can crowd three or four plant generations into one year, go Immediately from one life cycle to another, not waiting for normal planting and harvesting seasons.

\^ereas under natures control. a plant study might take three or four years to complete, the ph:rtotrons push button weather can produce the same results In a matter of months.

.The facility will consist of

two units, one at Durham and the other at Raleigh, operating as a single research enterprise under a board of scientists from the two Insittu-tions.

Plans are currently being drawn up by architects with a three year completion date in mind. N.C. State will start construction with a $750.(XK) grant from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation; Duke, with a $383,000 National Science Foundation award plus $250.-000 in other funds.

The Raleigh unit is estimated to cost $1.8 million when completed: the Duke unit, approximately $1.4 million.

Each unit will consist of a multi-story structure composed of greenhouses, laboratories and plant growth rooms with special chambers simulating particular growing conditions, such as a high light intensity chamber, high humidity chamber and the like.

Both facilities will also include offices to house not only local researchers but visiting -scientists working on projects at the phytotron.

CTimatic conditions from North Carolinas Outer Banks to the Smokies can be simulated in the phytotron units, along with those from almost any part of the UB. or world.

Plants to be studied will range from pine trees to micro-organisms. Tobacco, Its nutritional needs and its resistance to disease and pests, will be one of the initial studies.

Facilities and research emphasis will differ slightly on the two campuses.

The role played by Dr. I. Beverly Lake in the threatened knock-down, drag-out fight over the seating of WUUam 'Webb Jr., a Lake backer, as national conunitteeman at the Democratic National Convention brings up the question of just how much the Dr. Lake faction will act as a shadow government if Dan K. Moore is elected governor.

Moore said his strong backing of Webb, who signed a Wallaoe-Por-Presldent petition. was his own idea. However, on Monday Lake sent a telegram from Raleigh warning there would be no unity among Tar Heel Democrats if Webb was dropped. Lake also talked with Moore by telephone and Moore later issued a statement saying he would stick by his nomination. Nobody picked him except Dan Moore. said the gubernatorial candidate.

He said the appointment was cleared with Beverly Lake only -in the interest of party harmony. Lake, defeated in the race for governor; supported Webb for the committee post.

Now comes the announcement of an organization of former supporters of Beverly Lake to promote good government. Webb is listed by news stories as on the executive committee of the group. Raleigh businessman Alex Brock said the groups present plans

are to work wholeheartedly on behalf (A Democratic nominee Dan Moore s candidacy for governor.

Brock said I have every confidence Moore needs no advice or pressure to do the right thing. He said his group is not jn any measure a pressure group. Brock insisted that Lake had nothing to do with forming the group. In no way can it be considered an attempt by Dr. Lake to perpetuate his political organization, said Brock.

He maintained it is a grassroots organization formed by Lakes supprters. It was all their idea, he declared. He said the group Is expected to work for good government primarily by furthering the candidacies of selected'men, beginning with Moore.

Certainly this group was not formed simply to get together for tea each afternoon. Nor was it formed to offer members a good chance for fellowship and a chance to play tiddley-wlnks.

The big question is just how much influence will this Lake group have with Mr. Moores government because of this and past support.

Any politician worth h i s salt welcomes all the help he can get. But Moore is the candidate for governor and he should make it quite clear that he .is boss and is not going to be dominated by any particular group.

As an Inevitable result, they look more alike. As a matter of fact, teen-agers now look so much alike that only their own parents can tell which is son, which is daughter.

But it is almost as hard to tell Pop from Mom when both put on slacks to go golfing, or Grandpa from Grandma when they dress up in old clothes to go fishing.

What we need is a kind of Baedecker of Sex to tell the genders apart. Here are a few ways it still can be done;

If it smiles when you address it as Maam it is feminine. If it grunts and growls. It is masculine.

If it strikes a kitchen match on the seat of Its trousers, Its a him. If it waits coyly for you to light Its cigarette, Its a her.

If it takes off its shoes at the movies, its a w(nan. M it gets down on its hands and knees and starts looking for the shoes, its a man.

Does it do its fair share of pushing while going through a revolving door? Its a gentle-man for sure. Does it leap in front of you and grab the taxi you just flagged down? Its a lady every time.

It it brags about the steaks it cooked in the backyard, its a man. If it dimples when you praise the roast it cooks indoors, its a woman.

If it wears a red ribbon in its hair, its a lass. If it combs its hair like the north end of a duck going south. Its a lad.

If two go to the supermarket, the one that pushes the loaded cart is the mister. The missus is the one that holds up the line at the checkout counter as she fumbles through the wilderness of her purse.

If you open the door to it and it tries to sell you a box of cookies, its a Girl Scout. If it helps old ladies across a street, its a Boy Scout.

Does it bring its paycheck home in its mouth? Its a man. Does it think money grows on trees? Its a woman.

If It writes newspaper columns such as this. It's a him. If it reads columns such as this and loses its temper. Its a her.

ATLANTIC CITY -- If there was any c(Hiimon denominator of MHNebensi(m at this generally emug conventioo. It Is.that Lyndon Johnson may have formed the habit of trying to slide over thlngv too long.

Nobody, when ^ the pro(^d-ings stcurted, considered there were any real storm clouds on the horiz(i. The argum^its over seating thelegally elected Mississippi delegation or d^B* loyal members of the AlalMuna delegation would be settled In due course by Hubert Humphrey in his new nde of pacifier. The image of Lyndon Johnson, as the man who met force wltti f(wct In the Gulf of Tonkin, would stand up through Senator Pastorea keynote speech and beyond. Then, following the choice of vice IH^dent, the showing of ttie John P. Kennedy film, and the coronation of LBJ in Ms own right, the happy delegates could stage a boardwalk bash (the fashi(mable word for wild celebration) In honor of the presidents August 27 birthday and go home.

all the way with LBJ for the U.SJL.

UnhaK>ily, the real word at this c(mvention has intruded.

It intruded ~ just a bit in the embattled shapes of Birminghams Bull Conn(M* and the ADAS JoseiA Rauh Jr. who recalling tiie antagonistic cooperation between ttie rhinoceros and the tick bird, brought the reality of the South Into the convention hall anterooms. The LBJ theory was that an all-white Mississippi delegation could be seated this time, with a promise that in 1968 things would be different. The South, according to the LBJ thesis. Is evolving, the Bull Gcmnor type has all but dfeapp^red from every Southern state except Mississippi and Alabama, and in four more years it will nttt be coming to national conventions from anywhere. So why have a fuas now just to satisfy Joseph Rauh Jr. and his little band of wilful men?

Well, the reality of colliding forces in Mississippi forced a compromise. It was a teensy-weensy one, to be sure, but it was just enough to remind voters that Democrats do have problems In the South ttiat may spill over from Alabama and Mississippi to take votes away from LBJ.

The picture of the president who had the commies fighting a losing battle all over the world after four Kennedy-Johnson years was suavely presented on the (giening night of the convention by keynoter Pastore and by a judiciously edited film Uiat distributed praise just about equally between JFK and LBJ.

But came the dawn and the delegates woke up to leani that the regime of (Seneral Khanh in South Vietnam was tottering. Buddhists and students had forced the strong man to rip up a new constitutional provision that had given him dictatorial power to cope with national emergencies. And in the Congo. Tshombe had been compelled to h i r e mercenaries some of them from apartheid South Africa, no less to keep Communist-backed tribemen from overrunning the eastern provinces of a country that has always been held together by baling wire.

The labor bosses at their headquarters in the Hotel Tra-*^ .vmore have been working quietly to help build up the EBJ image for the battle against Barry Goldwater. But reality intruded in the shape of news (Contimiert on page 4

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS VICES OLD AND NEW Each generation has its own particular vices and virtues. We look at some of the past centuries, such as the 13th, the 16th, and the 19th, and see in them certain achievements which for all time will add luster to the pages of history. Similarly, we observe all historical epochs as characterized by vices which make them odious in the sight of subsequent generations.

It can be said of our modem days that we have Indeed found new ways of being lost. We have discovered new ways of damning ourselves. Economically we are depleting the soil, destrojdng crops, spending huge sums for armament and thu.s destroying untold treasure for all time. Morally

we are ruining our souls by getting used to killing people in wholesale lots.

Added to all these special twentieth century vices, we have the old vices which eat away at the hearts of men and women today precisely as they have through the ages.

As we review the possibility of death confr(HiUng people during the first forty years of their lives, we wonder how any human being can ever reach middle age. Yet the overwhelming majority of people do live. Somehow, under the grace of God, we shall be able to muddle through that Is, if we can make clear to pur minds what the particular vices are by which we and our generation are being ruined and fight these things in season and out of season.

By ELMER ROESSNER Here are more look-aheads in business:

More metals price rises: Demand abroad and strikes in America make higher nonfer-rous metal prices certain. Copper is selling at higher prices in Europe than here.

New rodenticide: Researchers are completing work on a new rat-killlng chemical, said to be harmless to other animals and humans. It will make headlines early in Sebtember.

European auto trust shaping, up: French. German and Italian auto makers are working on a cartel. If successful, both production and competition will be limited; and the Common Market, and p<^bly exports to America, will be divided among cartel members, DARNED CLEVER. THOSE NIPPONESE One-touch dial phones coming: Nippon Electric Co. will 60(Mi ship to the United States ' a phone attachment by which users can dial up to 30 numbers simply by pressing a single button.

Colored tires coming: Many of the 1965 model cars will sport tires with walls In color.

Some makes will offer whitewalls and (xie color. Others will have stripes of color. Many will have distinctive designs. Hopes for success are based on the popularity of the red-striped Pontiac tires this year.

New TV rules: The increase in community antennas and pay TV is causing the Federal Communications Commission to re-examine these competitors of local stations. The FCC doesnt want existing stations hurt.

Costlier steel: The steel in-

ELMER

ROESSNER

dustry is considering another round of selective" price raises. Demand is good and the Administration Is not likely to crack a rise down before election. However, if the auto strike takes place, all bets are

off.

BEER BARS GAINING

More home beer bars: As forecast here earlier, p(H>ular-ever. the season is late and a bar and a place f(H* a quar-ter-keg of brew, is spreading. However, the season is late and they wont bec(xne bestsellers until next summer.

Auto parts boom: Almost

every maker of auto parts is loaded with orders because of the high optimism for sales in the 1965 model year. An auto strike might slow down deliveries, bot sales already completed indicate good profits so far.

Costlier cement: While there has been some slackening in demand for cement, the expansion of the Interstate Highway System and related programs will increase demand greatly in the coming year. That is not necessarily a stock tip.

OLD PROMOTER HAS PLAN TO ZOOM CHRISTMAS SALES There was a liht in the old Promoters eye when he dropped in today and he announced I have an idea that will zoom CTiristmas sales in department stores this year. Furthermore,

I am going To toss it out for free, because it cant be patented or copyrighted.

There must be more wrong with it then, I said. -

No, he replied. Awr this Is the idea: Its for evwy department store to estgWlsh a mens lounge. Men balk at shopping with wives because they hate to be dragged through aisles. But U thefe is a lounge where they cm have a cocktail, they will wall endlessly. Of course, those men dont like alcoholic drinks can always have a rhubarb smash.

The idea has merits, I said.

Of course. he replied. We could hire cashiered bunnies as waitresses. Some husbands would be willing to wait for their wives as long as the store was open. And of course, there Is nothing to prevent the store from subtly dlsplayinp, some of Its best gift items or showing them on closed-drcult TV.

Or on bunnies. I saW.

I might even get interested in Christmas shoppini* myself this year.<\
