Law Enforcers Always In Jeopardy

FORECAST

Data From LBJ And

Until November: Very high temperatures and gale warnings to remain in effect.

The slaying of a highway patrolman in Hok County vividly illustrates the constant hazard that accompanies law enforcement officers even in the most routine duties.

Patrolman W. T. Herbin, a 13-year veteran with the State Highway Patrol, probably had stopped thousands of automobiles for routine checks just as he stopped the auto Monday in which his alleged slayers were riding. Only this time what transpired was far from routine.

Many citizens, we feel, fail to appreciate the fact that the men who make up the law enforcement agencies at every level constantly place themselves in jeopardy in the carrying out of their duties. Potential danger always lurks in the shadows of alleys for the night foot patrolman and even for the patrolman who stops an auto for a routine check in broad daylight.

Only at the times that an officers life is taken in the performance of his duty is the hazard of the occupation brought home to the public. In a very realistic sense, the officer has given his life in his so-called routine job of protecting the lives and property of the public.

No citizen should lose sight of the hazard to which every officer exposes himself day-by-day in carrying out the duties of hia job. And no citizen should fail to appreciate the responsibility that is thrust upon every officer no matter how routine his duties appear to the casual observer.

Ranks Of Our Heroes Now Lessened By One

No

Opposition i'o riis Program

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES RALEIGH Political notebook:

Leaden of tbe Dan K. Moore erganlaaUoQ are Increaalnsly opUmiatie about bavins atrons leslalattve auppmt for Moorea latifraina in the 1965 General Aaaembly if tbe new Democrat tie nominee la elected gover* dm:.

Tbua far there are no signs of major cmitroversy nor outright opposition among large blocs of legislators to tbe bare outUnea of what Moore la likely to recommend In tbe way of a legislative program.

This could develop later, of course, when specific recran-mendatlOQs are made. But it Is encouraging at least that no revolt is indicated against what Moore has suggested thus far.

A top Moore aide says, "it lodes like well have or should have pretty fin support in tbe legislature, it looks that way. We are being promised support at this stage.

IMPORTANCE - The importance of legislative support is not being overlooked in the Moore camps scheme of things although this source adds, right now, its about the least of our worries it Just looks that good.

An incoming governor Ot North Carolina, lacking veto power, is heavily dependent upon a favorable legislature.

Unless the legislature cooperates. the hands ot the new chief executive are tied insofar as his recommendations are concerned. This applies to^ appointive powers and other prerogatives. A hostile legislature may clip the wings of an incoming governor in many ways.

Moore himself says. Im happy to say I d(xit look for my problems along that Une.

I think well get along fine. Things are shaping up nicely. REPORTS Reports coming to the Mode headquarters indicate that if elected Moore probably will enjoy the support of a majdlty in both bouses ci the General Assem-

bly on most matters.

Of course, exact makeup of the 1966 Gmeral Assembly Is not yet clear.

But estimates on the basis of probable winners in November and hedges of support already received indicate fairly widespread sui^ort for Moore tn the House and at least a good core of strength

in the Senate.

These estimates take into account the possibility of increased RepubUcan representation in the 1965 General Assembly and also Democrats who are cool toward unfriendly to Moore.

CANDIDATES - Most legislative candidates played the statewide poUtical situation close to the vest and kept their support quiet during the Spring primaries, especially if they had opposition.

Others, however, took sides openly in the primaries and a number of these were Moore men. actively working for Moore. A few supported Dr. I. Beverly Lake in the first primary and switched to Moore in the second.

Some supported L. Rlchard-smi Preyer and one of these. State Sen. Ralph Scott of Alamance, was particularly active and vocal for Preyer.

PLEDGES Moore has received assurances and pledges of support from a number of key legislators who stayed on the sidelines during the Mimarles.

Aides say these have been expressions of good will and support both in the coming campaign and in the 1965 session.

As added insurance for tlw General Assembly, Moore is counting on the help of at least two strong legislative liaison men plus that of one of the two candidates for the post of Senate president pro tern. State Sen. Robert Morgan of Harnett. ^

Morgan, who was a Lake supporter in the first primary, actively assisted Moore in the second and is expected to play a leading role in the Fall political campaign.

For legislative liai s o n. Moore can call upon another state senator, Robert Morgan of Shelby, who was his regional campaign manager for western North Carolina; former House speaker Joe Hunt Jr. ot Greensboro, and his state cammlgn manager Joe Branch of Enfield.

In addition, an incoming governor is able to wield considerable legislative influence through patronage and appointments.

QUERIES The State Board of Elections is receiving numerous inquiries about the residence requirement for voting in the November general election in North Carolina.

R is replying that the statutory requirement for residence in the state is still one year. In addition, the voter must be 21 years old and a citizen.

The 1963 legislature received a bill to lower the residence requironent for voting in residential electicms to 60 days. The measure was passed by the House but reached the Senate in the final days ot the session and died there.

Our world is filled with heroes, but today their ranks are lessened by one who was a legend: Sergeant Alvin York.

On one October day, nearly half a century ago, York accounted for 28 enemy dead and the capture of 182 prisoners. He is personally credited with putting a machine-gun battalion out of action.

His heroism does not rest on that feat alone.

The accolades bestowed on a modest and reticent man simply never did change him. He chose to live out his life in the way that was his destiny had there been no such upheaval as World War I.

His example won* him a respect and a place in the hearts of his countrymen that could never have been his if he had yielded to the offers to lecture, appear in the movies, appear on the stage, to capitalize on the events of one great day in the Argonne when heroics were in order.

Perhaps the name of Alvin York will stand for something more than that of the greatest civilian soldier of the war as General Pershing calle*d him, among children of today. But even his name will probably pass into a limbo of the forgotten in their succeeding generation.

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court, which has moved into vacuums Congress wouldnt fill, is getting its own particular kind of backlash from politicians.

In a struggle now over curbing the courts powers members of Congress have themselves so boxed in they may be here another month although they could use the time in election campaigning.

An attempt is being made to undo the courts ruling last June that voters in the states are entitled to far more equal representation in their state legislatures than they are getting now.

Example: Under arrange

ments unchanged for more than half a century in some states a relatively small number of people In one district, especially country district, one elect one legislator while four times as many per^le squeezed Into a single district else-

The court said representa-tl(xi In both houses of state legislatures must be apportioned on a p<H>ulation basis of (Mae person, one vote, and federal ciMirts have the Job to see its done.

The present attempt to undercut the authority and range of the court is looked upon as so dangerous by opponents of tbe effort that one of them, Rep. Ehnanuel Cel-ler, D-N.Y., said it could wind up rendering the court a nuUity, destroying our Republican system of government.

The powerful court over the past 10 years has infuriated one group after another with decisions ranging from a ban on segregation to a ban on official prayers in pubUc schools. It inflamed ttie politicians --some of them by its decision on state legislatures.

The politicians and political machines which hold power in state legislatures where representation is not on an equal population basis naturally dont want any changes that would cost them Jobs or power.

Some pemle. not directly Involved, may feel the court overreached Itself. But the Re

publicans at their ccmventlon this year responded to the opposition to the court ruling by putting into their platform a promise in support of: A constitutional amendment, as well as legislation, enabling states having bi-cameral two-house legislatures to apportion one house on bases of their own choosing, including factors other than population.

This would take away the courts power to order reap-portionment of both houses on a populaticHi basis.

A week after the Republican convention in July Sen. Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois, Republican leader of the senate, attempted to carry out the platform promise by introducing a proposed constitutional amendment in Ccmgress.

But there wouldnt be time to act on It this year, since Congress is coming to an end. It would have to wait till next year. So as an Interim move Dirksen made this proposal in the form of a biU to be passed this year: Delay any court orders on reapportionment for about two years.

He didnt offer it as a bill by itself he said he didnt think it had a chance that way - but as an amendment on the $3.5-bilUon foreign aid authorization bill.

President Johnson is anxious to get the foreign aid money. If he vetoed the bill because of the attached Dirksen amendment, the whole thing would have to go back to Congress. He very probably wouldnt veto It. Thats Dirksens strategy.

For some strange reason, although' the value of peoples votes are Involved In all this, Johnsim has said nothing, taken no stand. The Democrats in their platform played mousey by leaving out all mentUm of reapportionment.

Mike I Mansfield of Mcmtana, Democratic leader In the Senate, worked out a compromise bill with Dirksen, Just a Uttle milder, and with the help of the Johnson admlnistrati(ms Justice Department.

But some members of the Senate particularly literals led by Sen. Paul Douglas, a Democrat and like Dirksen from Illinois wouldnt buy any part of It and are determined to fight until they kiU it.

The two-year delaying action In the Dirksen bUl would give Congress time to approve the kind of constitutionail amendment he has in mind and then perhaps time for the states to approve. i

A constitutional amendment must be approved by two-(Continued on page 5)

Little by little the story is being revealed as to how President Johnson chose Sen. Hubert Humphrey as his run-ning-mate. We now can tell the whole story.

In the beginning all the polls Indicated that, no matter who Johnson ran with, he would lose votes. So he decided to run alone. But he needed a legal ruling on it. So he called the Attorney-General, Robert Kennedy, and said, Bobby, can you tell me if Ah need a Vice-Presidential candidate on the ticket?

Mr. Kennedy said, Yes, sir. I'm afraid you d(r. <

Thats a shame. You dont have any suggestions, do you?

I havent given It much thought, sir.

Well, if you can come up with somebody, let me know. The following weeks it Is known that the President talked to everyone concerning the Vice-Presldency. He sought the advice of Senators, Congressmen, businessmen, and Governors.

Every ^once In a while he wandered over to the White House fence and asked tourist whom he thought it should be. It- was a big decision and he hated to make it alone.

As time went on the Ust got longer. He let it be known that 12 Secret Service men were Congressmen. 50 women, and 12 Secret Se ecirmvenw ere being considered seriously for

the office.

And every day he called up Bobby Kennedy and said, You come up with a name, Bobby? Im racking my brain, sir, but I just can't think of anybody.

Other Editors Saying Rights At Convention

(Christian Science Monitor)

Hardly anyone seemed to understand what was going on at the Democratic Convention on the question of civil rights. Americans at their televisira sets saw a confused melee of maneuvers and demonstrations. The struggle for credentials and seats swayed this way and that. The outcome seemed obscure to those who did not follow it closely.

Actually the course of events was fairly logical, given the conflicting forces at play and the effort to concUiate. And the outcome was fairly sum-etrlcal. Neither aide wholly won. Neither side wholly lost. There was an uneasy standoff between .the tendency to spUt and efforts to conciliate.

As the convention opened, the civU-rights group was playing for all or nothing. Their chief object was not Just to get seats and votes on the floor and to oust the aU-whlte Mississippi delegation. If this were all. it would have been subject to compromise. What they reidly wanted was to force the battle for civil rights into the convention and the television view of the American people as dramatically as possible. This is why they risked

Irritating moderates and did not want to ccrniprcnnise.

The Mississii^l regulars had a similar and opposite aim. They were less concerned with seats and votes than with which party would test support their cause and their probable conclusion that It would be the RepubUcans. So they, too, were not disposed to have their cause compromised.

The party leadership understood this and was dealing not only with the controversy but with Its effect on other

conflicts within the party and the voting public. So it sought a rough'balance which leaned somewhat on the side of civil rights. .Both sides rejected it. Then the regulars left their seats on the floor vacant. So some of the Negro group moved in while others stayed outside to protest the compromise. So some of the regulars returned to their seats whUe others left in protest for home.

It remains to be seen whether the outcome favored the formidable efforts by the party leaders to mediate or the formidable efforts by the two sides of the Negro question to advance their causes. Only the next weeks and the voting will tell.

If earlier worker retlrwnent and Increased pensions are to be tbe big features of the new union contracts, the stock market should get a fiUip throughout the Autumn nKmths from pension fund buying. This wUl certainly suit the J o b n-son Administration to a T, for a buoyant WaU Street is absolutely essential to the LBJ strategy for winning the election on the peace, prosperity and tbe people slogan.

The unions should be warned, however, that, once the election id over, the same Administration which hopes to benefit politically from pension fund buying may be ready to stage a legislative drive to put the funds under close Federal regulation. There are currently some $70 billion an various welfare and pension plan reserves, and if the Federal government could take its cut for helping to contrd the operation of the plans, it would help keep many a bureaucrat in br^ and butter and many a union or company pajing money lor paper work that might better go to pension beneficiaries.

With its usual keen nose for bureaucratic threats, the United Mine Workers of America organization has id-ready started a move to head off any post-election attempt to put private pension pla^ under Federal control. The stand taken by the miners is that there are plenty of laws on tbe books to penalize and prevmt fraud and embezzlement in pension plan administration. They point to the fact that a U. S. District Court in (Chicago has Just recently sentenced the Teamsters Unions Jimmy Hoffa to five years in prison and fined him 110,000 on conviction In a union pen-

The President conferred with Intimates in Texas, close newspaper friends. Pentagon officials, and his accounting firm of Haskins and Sells. They all had suggestions and President Johnson wrote down every one. The list had teen extended to Include 136 Mayors, 230 state legislators, 590 county chairmen, and everyone who had contributed more than a thousand dollars to the Democratic National Committee. ^

He, caDed up Mr. Kennedy again. Bobby, its getting near the time. Ah sure could use your help in this matter. .

Bobby said. Mr. President, Im stuck. You need a young man whos held important government office, is known to the American public, has traveled abroad, and has a large political machine behind him.

I dont know where we c a n find him.

Well, keep trying, President said.

For weeks a steady stream of potential candidates visited the Presidents office. Each one in turn was assured that when the final decision was made he would be the men. Unknown to all of them the President had added the Washington telephone book to his list of prospects.

But he was stiU depending on Bobby Kennedy to come up with a man.

Sion fraud case.

What the finers fear and they think this fear should be a universal one In un 1 o n circles is that if welfare plans are to be placed under government control, as If now projected by a Johnson task force, the big private Insurance companies might be called in by Washington to administer funds under Federal supervision. This, so the coal miners say, would increase the costs of administration by a great deal.

To back up this contention, the United Mine Workers recall that when John L. Lewis was originally setting up the UMWA Welfare and Retirement Fund, he asked private insurance cwnpanies to specify the cost of overseeing a pension operation. The replies varied, running to from ten to fifteen per cent of total revenues. Lewis decided to put the UMWA fund, which operates on a current basis, under three trustees, one drawn from the union, one from among the coal operators, and a neutral who would be mutually acceptable to both workers and mine owners. The neutral, Josephine Roche of

JOHN CHAMBERLAIN

Colorado, is the designated administrative officer of the UMWA fund and under her bare-boned austerity regime the cost of seeing to it that the miners get their welfare and pension money runs to something around three per cent of t<al revenue. The miners have had to open their pension plan books to federal agencies from time to time, which means they have been operating in a gold fish bowl. This being the case, they see no sense In be i n g supervised by bureaucrats out of a big extra sum of money, amounting to from seven to tw'elve per cent of revenues, that is now going to coal (Continued On Page 5)

No Ulcers Are Built Into A Job

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS OTHERWISE NO PROGRESS Centuries ago the people of China built a great waU to keep out the invader. It was a marvelous achievement, but It failed to fulflD its purpose. For the wall was scarcely completed before the Invader bribed gatekeepers and marched in unresisted.

Pew circumstances in hlsti^ ry are more eloquent than this one. It demonstrates that In the end our only security is moral character. We leave our money in the banks and do so with confidence that It Is safe. But it is safe only because we are quite sure that bankers, by and large, are honest men.

No law in the world wiU hold families together. The greatest system of armament wUl never insure any nation against invasion so long as there are neighbors who recognize no moral restraint.

The protection China's great waD was destroyed with a few pieces of gold handed over to a few tcaltorfe. Lack of fidelity destroys marriage.

Business depends upon credit and credit upon moral character.

All life comes back to the soundness of moral character. There can be no security, no happiness, no progress without it. Mankind in general must have it and we in particular must have it.

There are no ulcers built into certain jobs, despite popular belief to the contrary, according to Mortimer R. Feinberg, business psychologist.

Jobs arent tense, people are, he writes In Duns Review. Pressure on executives is no worse today than it was years ago. be finds, A study by a medical group showed that" basic work patterns of those who say they are under tension are not much dUferent from those who say they art not.

Every job contains pressures that can produce tension, but the degree to which executives feel the strain depende on how well adapted they are to facing and overcoming these pressures.

NINE WAYS TO SANITY

Dr. Feinberg offered nine ways for executives to keep the effects of tension within control. They are:

1. Face up to tension. Pear or avoidance can be destructive.

2. Take frequent physical breaks.

3. Never cheat oo aleep.

4. Learn to spot your own tension triggers (such as smoking, cocktails, loss of sleep).

5. Learn to impose strict order on problems that can be controlled.

6. When a problem is especially vexing, leave it for a while.

7. Clarify your personal values; develop your own philosophy.

8. Learn not to nourish petty annoyances.

9. Practice working off pressure. Turn to physical activity when emotional pressures buUd up.

THE HIGHER,

THE GREATER

Dr. Feinberg said that often the faster and further up an executive moves, the greater his emotional difficulties become.

Combined with the upward and onward pressure Is that of age, he added. Often, when a man reaches his mld-fortles, he develops an acute consciousness of age. Once he slips into his fifties, he usually befflna to adjust well to tbe

fsct that he is middle-aged, the top la the fact that with new success the possibility of failure may become more frightening, he wrote. Responsibilities create a sense of loneliness and isolation from others. Gone Is the friendly, spontaneous openness, for fear of exposing a management secret to others.
