Three-Way Split !h Demo Ranks

- By Wll.MAM A. SHIRES

z DIVISION - All Gaul is

divided Into three parts and so is the Democratic party ot 1964 in North Carolina.

Distinct division in party ranks exists now and is likely to continue for some time. The divisions are, in general, liberals, moderates and conservatives and each 'wing has its ' recognized set of leaders.

What degree of party unity Is possible under conditions of this tripartite division remains . to be seen.

None of the three is willing to give up its identity, its goals and principles nor ^ its factional clannishness. E ac h has demonstrated* this clearly and publicly in actions of re-

* cent date.

* Yet the leaders . of each Z group recognize and profess

that unity of the partys factions during the next t w o months is probably essential if, first, the Democratic party Is to remain in power in the

- state and. secondly, deliver Z the states electoral votes to

- the national Democratic tick- ct.

GOP The states Repub-, licans who have experienced

- their share of disunity and ; cross-purposes in the past see

Nov. 3.

This third group would be made up of disgruntled Democrats drawn from each of the majority partys-factions, pro-tives and segi*egationists. in-test voters, die-hard conserva-dependents and others who stray regularly from straight party voting.

IDENTIFY Even the most casual political observer may easily identify the Democratic partys present. divisiwjs' and their leaders.

Party liberals and progressives control the present state administration and are Identified with the wing headed by Gov. Terry Sanford, form e r party chairman Bert Bennett Jr., and its unsuccessful candidate for governor, L, Richardson Preyer.

At the opposite end of the party spectrum is the conservative group led by Dr. I. Beverly Lake of Raleigh, twice unsuccessful in primary campaigns for governor.

And in between is the moderate camp, the so-called old guard, recently placed in

ulations.

The state already has prescribed what it thinks will be adequate regulations to prevent pollution of the waters of Beaufort County in connection with the phosphate mining. It has authority to invoke additional regulations if the present ones do not prove to be adequate. With this in mind, there is little reason for the state to sit back and refuse to grant additional leases to the companies which are developing a new economic frontier in Beaufort County through the phosphate industry.

More Than Merely A Final Summer Fling

Final summer fling or not, there can be no excuse for the rioting of youngsters such as that which took place at Hampton Beach, N. H. and a few other resorts over the Labor Day week-end.

The fact that most of the participants in the riots were of high school age should cause every parent and every young person to take careful stock of the standards of behavior expected of people of any age this day and time.

Has such lawiessness really become acceptable among members of the younger set? We doubt it.

Has adult guidanceor lack of itcontributed to such behavior? Has adult example provided young people with the misguided impression that they are

the clear division in Democratic ranks offei'ing them their best chance for victory in many years.

There are still two wings of the Republican party in North Carolina. But the GOP division is less distinct, not as clearly apparent and from outward appearances probably less serious. It has existed at aU levels, but may now be best described as pro-Goldwater and anti-Goldwater.

THIRD The Republican leadership, which is pro-Gold-water, is trying to break down intraparty disagreement over Goldwaters political philosophy by bringing the GOP presidential nominee into the state for campaign stops.

These stops. Incidentally, are planned in centers of questionable pro-Goldwater sentiment.

The fact Is that however successful Goldwaters trips to North Carolina may be, the Republicans in the state are counting on a third group to join them in November.

It was a third group which decided the outcome of the second Democratic prim a r y for governor last July 27. And the Republicans feel that It may also be a third group swinging to the GOP column which will decide the outcome of the general elections on

middle-of-the-roader Dan K. Moore and Moores choice of a moderate for the party chairmanship.

LINES Thus the lines are drawn not only for the present but just as clearly for four years from now.

Actions in the past few weeks have been both for the purpose of achieving as much intrapary unity as possible for the Pall campaign and for preserving the identity of each group and holding it toether as a separate political force, come what may.

The conservatives, including Dr, Lake, resorted to a formal oi-ganizatiwi with (rfficers, directors and committees and a membership list. This is roughly the organizatlwi which supported Dr. Lake in the first primary of 1964 and, so organized, delivered almost intact its 217,000 first primary votes to Moore in the second primary.

. Taking part In organization of this political g^oup but lat^ er resigning frran it in the interest of unity were Billy Webb of Statesville, Moore's choice for national committeem a n, and Quincy Nimocks m of Fayetteville, new state party executive directw. Both' were first primary Lake supporters. - OPPOSITION - Preyer. Sanford and Bennett drew the lines more distinctly at a dinner of 2,700 Preyer campaign workers. They pledged loyalty to the party ticket but Preyer himself said he and Ids supporters would constitute a loyal opposition to the Moore forces.

We will continue to use our influence, .take our part in the dialogue. . .be one of the many voices that the Democratic party has room for, Preyer said. And we will look to the future. Well be back.

He predicted political victory eventually for his wing.

By GEORGE HAGEDORN

Trading in commodity futures is under attack again. The Senate recently passed a bill to prohibit futures trading in potato contracts and a .similar bill is pending in the House of Representatives.

Futures c(Mitracts are a form of insurance and offer processors and growers of raw materials the opportunity to hedge against the risk of un-forseen price changes.

Ot course, when such a market is set up, others who are neither processors nor growers. and perhaps have no direct connection with the Industry, enter the market in the hope of a profit. Such persons are described as speculators 'which is often regarded as a dirty word.

Stabilizing Effect

Speculators are sometimes accused of creating or accentuating price fluctuations. Actually they generally have the opposite effect of stabilizing the price trend of the commodity they are dealing in.

Speculators seek to earn a profit. If they are to succeed ,in doing so they must, obviously, buy when the price is low and sell when-it is high. Thus they support the price when it is lower than it should be and reduce it when it Is too high.

To say that the operations of speculators exaggerate price fluctuations is to say that they buy when the price is high and sell when it Is low. If they actually operated this way they would cwislstently lose money and wouldnt stay in business very long.

Speculators thus exert a

steadying innuence on market prices, and to prohibit their activities is to remove a useful economic stabilizer. Yet they are sometimes regarded in political circles as pariahs whose elin^aticHi involves no real loss to society.

Serves Good Purpose

Trading In onion futures was outlawed by federal legislation in 1958 and the same fate may be in store for potato futures. The alleged abuses in the' trading of these contracts should not be the cause for eliminating a practice which serves an ec<xiomic purpose.

While hedging in the futures market can reduce price risk, raw material users or producers are not required to use this protection. But the advantage of hedging was demonstrated in July when two sugar-importing firms flled for bankruptcy. They had made heavy cash purchases of raw sugar without hedging by the sale of futures cwitracts, and a sharp decline in the price of sugar resulted in a $6 million loss.

The elimination of futures markets would force producers to face risks of price changes in addition to the other problems inherent in our production and marketing system. This could create new difficulties, especially for small business people who do not have the facilities for continuous appraisal of prospective price trends.

Other Editors Saying... Tough Policy Needec,

(The Raleigh Times)

The license division of the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles reported yesterday that a general increase in major driving violations are up a shocking 20 per cent the first six months of this year compared to the same period last year.

E. R. Peele, director, blamed the bad attitude of drivers for this increase. By the end of June this year there had been 25,213 licenses suspended compared to 14,620 for the same period last year. It wasnt until October last year that suspensions had reached the 25,000 mark.

And. said Peele, violations that tend to end in death and maiming show an alarming trend. There was 35 per cent jump in convictions of driving over 75 miles per hour, reckless driving charges were up 48 per cent.

Whos to blame and what can be done about it?

The motorists attitude is given chief blame. Peele said

the trend is bad and will remain 60 until drivers change their attitude, until laws are tightened and until courts are stricter in enforcing the laws.

The term hanging judge" naturally has a bad connotation, but this is exactly what is needed to break up this rash of lawlessness. Too many charges are dismissed or lowered and those motorists who tend to flout the law to start with are only enoucraged by this practice.

Enough patrolmen should be put on the force to give the highways thorough protection. Then the courts must be tough ones and mete out the prescribed sentences.

Education campaigns to try to influence the reckless ones thinking to a more wholesome attitude are good. But letting a law breaker know that he is going to get caught if he disobeys the highway laws and knowing just as surely that he will be given stiff punishment one of the best educators in the world.

Mr. Kennedy says.

Very good, Mr. Smith says.

Whats the land mass over there on the other side of the Hudson?

Thats New Jersey. We dont have to worry about that place.

It looks easier to get to than Staten Island, Mr. Kennedy says.

Weil, forget about it. This is Fifth Avenue. It divides the East Side from the West Side.

Hey, thats a good idea," Mr. Kennedy agrees.

He studies the map for a few moments. Wheres the Common?

There is no C?ommon in New York, Mr. Smith explains. Over here is Central Park.

I got It. Is that where the Red Sox play?

Theyre not called the Red Sox, Bobby. Theyre called the Yankees, Mr. Smith says. And they play at Yankee Stadium.

The New York Mets, which is the other baseball team, play at Shea Stadium, Mr. Smith adds.

You mean New Yorks got two baseball teams?

Thats correct, Mr. Smith says, and from now on youll be rooting for both of them. Fair enough. Clue me in on football.

In New Yoi^ City we have Columbia Univerhity.

I know Columbia, Mr. Kennedy says. Harvard used to kill them in football.

Try not to mention that if you can, Bobby.

I get you. Whats that long cape sticking out there? Thats not a cape. Its Long Island, and there are a lot of votes out there.

Long Island. Thats a funny name for a cape.

Now, lets talk about some of the cultural aspects of the city. This is Lincoln Center, Mr., Smith says.

By JOHN CHAMBERUN Copyright, 1964, King FcaturM Syndicate, Inc.

On the platform at the At* lantic City Democratic convention Bobby Kennedy was a figure to tug at your beart-etringa. Behind him, ae he spiAe of his dead Ix-other. there loomed the gigantio plo* tures of Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humi^ey. Together, these pictures could be taken as a portent of sixteen years of the DemocraUc Party, future. With J(^sc In tbs White House untU 1972, and with Humify taking over from 1972 to 1980, .iy lingering ambitions that the Kenne-dys might have for a political djmasty seemed permanently scotched.

A few days later, however, it was not Bobby Kennedy who was the man to be pitied. The person to feel sorry for was Mayor Bob Wagner of New York. Standing (m the platform at the New York Mate Democratic convention at tie 71st Regiment Armory on lower Park Avenue, Mayor V^-ner praised Bobby Kennedy to the skies in nominating him for Senator from New York. But then the Mayor let 1^ a telltale phrase. He said he was thoroughly convinced "(mbal-uice that Kennedy was ihe best possible can<iidate for Senator that the Democrats might choose. The words on balance thundered through the hall; they brought up the vision of desperate hours of soul-earchlng on the Mayors part about the probable con-trol of the Democratic Party in the State once Kenn e d y energy, Kennedy prestige, Kennedy money, Kennedy relatives, and Kennedy friends had all gone to work to send Bobby to Washington to fill tlia shoes once occupied by Herbert Lehman or the senior Robert Wagner.

Lyndon Johnson supporters will tell you, though not for attribution, that the emergence of Bobby Kennedy in New York State is something that is meaningless in national power terms. They point to their man, Eddie Weisl, who has taken over Carmine dc S^io spot as New York Nation a 1 Committeeman. The patronage, they say, will go through Wagners bands, not Kennedys. And anyway, Johnsons choice of Humphrey as V1 c e President has boxed Kennedy in. nationally speaking. H u m-Phrey is the ADAs man. he is labors man, and, as a Minnesotan, he Is the farm e r s man.

rey theory of the future on some of the more ardent Ken-nedyites at Atlantic City and, later, in New York. They would not buy It. They pointed to the role of accident in political affairs, arguing, quite correctly, that nothing can be plotted in advance over a sixteen-year curve. Death can intervene; the world abroad can erupt; taxes can provoke political overturns. And the law of averages, which has gone against the Kennedys so severely ever since yoyng Joe Kennedys death in war time, could suddenly veer the other way. Teddy Kennedys recovery from an airplane accident could prove to be symbolic.

The hope of the Kennedyites conjures up a vision ef a mighty struggle for control of the Democratic Party. The hope is contingent on Democratic SUCC6.SS this November at the polls all down the llhe. If Pierre Salinger wins his sena-(Continued On Page )

Strength tor Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS KEYS ^ GREAT AND SMALL

Have you ever tried for several minutes to unlock a door, and then^ find to your disgust that you have been using the wrong key? One can have this experience when he is cold sober. In fact, most of the people who do iiave such an experience are sober.

We waste a lot of Ume in life trying to open doors with the wrong keys. Most people want to open the door which leads to happiness, and they try first one key and then another. They try the money key, and they try the popularity key. They try the. indulgence key, and the liquor key. But the door doesnt open. Other people all around them seem to be opening tbelr doors with one

or another of those keys. That is, from a distance they appear to be doing so. But a close-up examination would

show that they/ are meeting with no more success than anyone else.

What are the right keys the keys that really open the doors to contentment, happiness. satisfaction, and health? One .of these keys is diligence. Another is self-control. There can be no doubt that the key which opens the door to pop-* uiarity is thoughtfulness.

Knowledge is a wonderful key, but there is a greater one still. This greatest key Is the key of faith. It Is reserved for no special group. All men can have. it, and having it they enter Into the eternal and walk therein.

By ELMER ROESSNER This Labor Day has been fraught with the danger of strikes that could tumble the country Into a recession. It is fraught with the possibility of wage settlements that could start another spiral of inflation. It is also fraught with considerable hope of peaceful settlements. It is sure fraught!

Fraught comes frMti an old word that once meant two buckets full. There surely Is a fraught of trouble this Labor Day.

The biggest and most pressing problem is the threat of a strike by the United Auto Workers. At this writing, the strike Is scheduled to hit Chrysler first, at 10 A. M. We^esday. By the time you read mis, the strike may be postponed. But the threat will carry on.

WHY CHRYSLER IS PICKED Walter Reuther. AW president, picked Chrysler because it Is most vulnerable. It has staged an amazing comeback and the new-model year has promised further gains. A strike here, now or later, may bring quick captujation.

General and Fords

are later targets, possibly be-. eaiKsc they can take a strike better than Chrysler; partly because gains wmi from Chry

sler can become realistic demands on Ford and GM.

The hope for peace here Is based on the fact that a strike this close to election might thrust the econ<xny into a sudden dip. And a sudden dip might hurt Johnson, and labor might not do so well under President Goldwater.

Furthermore,' the Administration realizes the political dangers to itself in a strike, and will do all In Its power to prevent or postpone a strike. And still further, Reuther knows the value of a semi-captive Administration and will not risk a strike that can cause a labor backlash.

LONGSHORE STRIKE, TOO

Another threat is the possibility of a strike of Eastern and Gulf longshoremen, whose contract expires Sept. 30. There is hope here, too, because neither the Administration nor the union wants an electlon-cve strike and If a contract cant be reached, a postponement is very probable.

If Reuther drives a bargain, and well he might, the effects on the economy will be prodigious. The immediate affect will be the gentle upward movement of auto prices, which can bleed off much of the monciy consumers gained

through Dhe Income tax earlier this yeaT.

But the UAW gain wUl be a landmark, or a guideline (whatever your choice of cant this season), for other unions. Every leader and negotlatcx* will have to win gains comparable to Reythers or face a contest for Ids' job.

Businessmen sitting down

ELMER

ROESSNER

With union negotiators from now until next summer will see the ghost of Walter Reuther at the bargaining table. FRAUGHT WITH INFLATION

And as union after union demands .and get comparable gains, so will the cost of all labor rise; and as the cost of all labor rises, so will prices and, lo and behold, there will be another round of Inflation.

Economists on the government payroll will, a* always.

declare that the increases can be absorbed, whatever that means, and that there is no danger of Inflatiwi. but there will be Inflation just the same.

And even if the UAW settles for moderate demands, and other unions are equally moderate. the danger is only postponed until next year.

For in 1965 the Steelworkers Union contract expires, and their leader, David McDonald, is tough, tough -- tough enough to have t(^d Johnson that Goid-water may beat him.

The steelworkers will not be held back by fear of embarrassing the Administration by making heavy demands, strap-ped with threats of a strike. / Turthermorc, as a matter of precedent, the union always asks for as much increase as the auto workers got, plus a little more. '

And any raise the steelworkers get will have to be reflected In prices. And the steel industry keeps telling us that ' nothing is made without steel.

So if another round of wage-price Inflation does not come theis year, it will come next year, no matter what anyone in Washington a a u a. How ^fraught it is!
