Election Regulations Need Study

mm >

'In My Heart I Know Your Plight"

The Madison County election controversy has been settled with the State Board of Elections cerUfying that Clyde Norton is the proper person to be the Democratic nominee for the 34th Senatorial District/ sGiit

. With the investigation completed, the court wrangle over the decision of the State Board of Elections endorsed by the Supreme Court, it is to be hoped that North Carolina will never again be subjected to the kind of election irregularities which apparently occured in Madison County on May 30.

In spite of the criticism leveled at it from some sources during its exhaustive investigation of the matter, the State Board of Elections has rendered a great service to the people all over North Carolina. It dealt with the matter firmly. It removed from their posts election officials who, in the opinion of the board, did not live up to the important obligations of their offices. It did nt hesitate to

call a spade a spade in evaluat^ iV/iindings and expressing its opinion that Norton rather than Ponder should rightfully be declared the winner of

the primary election.

North Carolina in recent years has taken several steps to strengthen its election laws to prevent irregularities and frauds in connection with balloting. With the experience of the Madison County incident this year, however, it has become increasingly evident that the next legislature should carefully review the states election regulations and the rules governing conduct of election of elections. Although charges of serious election irregularities in North Carolina are relatively rare, it is imperative that every citizen of the state be secure in the knowledge that when he casts his ballot the result of the count will a'ccurately reflect the will of the voters who participate in the election.

The state has the obligation to take every reasonable step to provide citizen^ with that assurance.

No Trouble in youngsters Have Fillino Stadium stake in Bond Election

RALEIGH Political notebook:

There should be no trouble filling Reynolds Coliseum for the visit of President Lyndon B. Johnson to Raleigh Tuesday night the big question Ls what to do about the overflow.

Officials are expecting large crowds all along the presidential route from Raleigh-Dur-ham airport and in the area of a railroad station where the presidents wife and daughter will arrive aboard their whistle-itopping Lady Bird Special half an hour before the presidents plane reaches Raleigh.

An overflow throng Is looked for at the Coliseum where the president will Join his wife and deliver a major campaign address.

It is no secret that large and enthusiastic crowds are desirable and deemed necessary for a successful political rally, and potential turnout is a factor always considered.

Weather permitting, there aeems to be no question about the crowd size that can be as-

Pitt Countys youngsters have a considerable direct stake in the state-wide school bond referendum that will be decided upon by voters on Nov. 3.

In terms of dollars, Pitt Countys two school administrative units will receive almost $2 million from state funds for school construction if the $100 million bond issue is approved by voters. ,

Based on school enrollment for the 1961-62 school year which will determine county-by-county allocations of the fund, Pitt Countys school administrative unit will receive $1,218,801 in state funds and the Greenville school administrative unit will receive $484,562. These amounts, plus what may otherwise be available from local capital outlay resources of the respective administrative units, ,could make a long step toward meeting the need for improvements and additions to the schools throughout Pitt County.

CROWD Blocks of tickets are being distributed free to various groups including Young Citizens for Johnson, col 1 e g e groups and students in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area.

The Coliseum itself is located (Ml the North Carolina State campus in the midst of donni-tory, fraternity house and married student housing facilities which alone could furnish nearly half of the expected crowd.

Crowds of college students recruited from other campuses and Young Citizens for Johnson organizations are planning demonstrations at trainside for the Lady Bird Special earlier Tuesday at Ahoskie, Rocky Mount and Selma.

If this means anything concrete, it is that agent oi foi^ ^ cign powers which are InvolT* ed in conspiracies or crusade of any kind must be watched as they have never been watched before.

filled Weather, however, was one cxMisideration which dictated having the presi-lent speak at the Coliseum instead of outdoors. There is a definite possibility of rain.

Another factor w'as the availability of concrete parking lots around the Coliseum for helicopter landings if the president decides to copter in from the airport instead of riding in a motorcade.

In any case, officials are confident the Coliseum can be fled.

SEATING Normally, the Reynolds Coliseum seats about IL.tOO. This can be expanded to 13,000 capacity and basketball crowds of more than 12,000 are not unusual.

Officials are expecting a crowd of approximately 10.000 In the Coliseum itself Tuesday night, with some seating space being sacrificed for location of a speakers podium, press tables and facilities and for security reasons.

The presidential party and entourage with Johnson and his wife will number several hundred persons. The stage must be large enough to seat U the party dignitaries.

About 10,000 tickets have been prepared and are being distributed through Democra-

Coliseum doors.

CIRCUIT Johnsons visit to the North Carolina State campus and Lady Birds appearance Wednesday at UNC-Greensboro will complete a circuit of first family visits to all branches of the Consolidated Univer^ty In the past three years.

It was in October, 1961, that President John P. Kennedy went to Kenan Stadium at Chapel Hill for a major policy address of his administration, and ceremonies there under blue autumn skies.

There were huge crowds at Raleigh-Durham airport and along the route of Kennedys motorcade in Chapel Hill for that occasion. However, the roads from Raleigh-Durham to Chapel Hill were closed to traffic that day for security reasons.

It will be after dark Tuesday when President Johnsons big 707 jetliner reaches Raleigh-Durham. Nevertheless, it is expected that there will be crowite there, too, includi n g welcoming officials. The motorcade route could be via Raleigh-Durham highway to the Raleigh Belt Line to Western Boulevard and the campus, or via several routes through the city.

Both weather, crowds and security will dictate choice of the presidents route.

NOTES Richard M. Nixon, who was the GOP presidential nominee at this time four years ago. will be the speaker at a Republican rally in Salisbury on Oct. 10. Nixon is campaigning for 1964 nominee Barry Goldwater.

There are denials of Democratic party dissension and refusals to work together in Mecklenburg county. Myles Haynes, co-chairman in charge of ammgements for the Lady Bird Special stop in Charlotte says There is more harmony in the (Democratic) party now than mo^ people believe.*

Southern states will receive almost $26 million to help low-income youngsters go to college under the educational provision of the war on poverty program. Total for the nation will be more than $70 million.

The new program will, in one year, open college doors for approximately 25,000 bright young people in the South. It will not be free education, because students will be working for their money in public schools, in public health programs and in a variety of community services.

Student-aid money, when it becomes available, will be distributed to schools on a state-by-state basis. The 15 Southern states will be allotted the following amounts: Alabama, $1.8 million: Arkansas. $1 million; Florida, $1.8 million; Georgia, $1.9 inillion: Kentucky, $1.4 million; Louisiana, $1.7 million; Maryland, $1 million: Mississippi, $1.5 million; North Carolina. $2.5 million; Oklahoma, $1.1 million: South Carolina, $1.3 millicm: Tennessee, $1.8 million; Texas, $4.3 million; Virginia, $1.6 million: and West Virginia. $900,000.

Allocation of funds by states Is based on a three - part formula; the number of full-time students enrolled in colleges and universities in the state; the number of high school graduates in a recent year, and the number of children under 18 years of age in families with annual income of less than $3,000.

Included in the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, thi.s work-study program will enable Tindergraduates rto earn up to $500 in a' school year and an additional $500 in the summer. i^udents in graduate and professional schools can earn about twice that amount. Student wages will be supplemented by loans or scholar.shlps. when necessary, supplied by the colleges and universities.

To be eligible for work-study aid, a student must be from a

low-income family "whose total income and assets are such that it cannot be expected to contribute any significant support to the educational expenses of a prospective student, according to the Act. This has been set as an Income of $3,(X)0 or less for a family with one child in college.

Participants in the work-study program will be full-time students and their outside work is limited to a maximum of 15 hours a week during the school year. Jobs may be sui^ plied at the college or in specified types of employment off the campus.

Off-campus jobs are restricted to community or public service work or work that is directly related to the students educational objectives. All jobs open to students must be newly created jobs: the student workers may not displace people who are already employed.

To be eligible for work-study a.ssistance, a student must be from a low-income family and need a job to stay in college or to start college. A good academic standing is required, as is U. S. citizenship.

Work-study assistance will be administered by coUeges, so a prospective student must make application for this aid directly to the institution of his choice.

During the first two years of the work-study program, federal funds will pay up to 90 percent of the cost the remaining 10 percent must be financed by the coUeges. In the third year, the government will supply 75 percent, the colleges 25 ptmeat. Colleges and unl'^ versities are allowed to obtain their matching funds frcwm any source.

This new program is a specific extension of opportunity to low-income families. As such it can especially help the South, which still has more than its share of needy but able high school graduates who could benefit from college.

I didnt have to wait long. A knock sounded on my compartment door. I reached for my Olivetti. I opened the door slowly and suddenly I saw her. A beautiful brunette, tall but not too tall, round but not too round, soft but not too soft, rushed in.

Saying.., Move

(Greensboro Daily News) Noting latest census estimates, which show North Carolina moving up to 11th place and edging out Indiana among the 50 states of the unicMi, the Fayetteville Observer hopefully asks if this upward population trend indicates that the outmigration from the Old North State has been appreciably reduced.

To that question we do not profess to have the answer. But encouragement and hope are justified. North Carolinas high birth rate has continued since the 1960 census and there have been many factors and forces to change the states social and economic pattern.

Lack of educational opportunity and jobs has probably been the biggest single cause for our young people leaving for greener fields, real or fancied. North (Carolina was moving ahead industrially in 1960, and it had to move rapidly even to begin to keep up with breakdown of our rural economy and the shift of displaced persons on the farms. Industrial growth and diversification has been stepped up sharply during the past four years. Thousands of new jobs and payrolls running weU into the millions of dollars have been added. One immediate effect. established by availa b 1 e figures, has been retention of

more of our college graduates at home.

Our educational system has been overhauled, from top to bottom. In addition to a stronger public school system, centered around increased teacher pay, there have been greater recognition of the problem of dropouts and its heavy toll, analysis of its causes and a determined program to do something about them. The community college has come into being, taking education beyond the high school level, back to the people; and technical institutes and Industrial train ing centers have sprung up to develop skills and train Tar Heels, who quickly demonstrated their adaptablty, for the jobs offered by new and expanding industry.

A North Carolina on the move should hold more and more of-its young people who have received their education here but gone elsewhere for the reaping of its benefits.

The things that North Carolina has been doing these last few years are now beginning to mesh and pay off. And it is high time that the citizenry should be recognizing and appreciating the leadership so largely responsible for this progress Instead of denouncing It In deed, word and voting.

"What do you want? I said, Before I could answer, there was a knock on the door.

"What do you want? I said, reaching for my Olivetti again.

"Were looking for a beautiful brunette. a Goldwater aide shouted.

"What does she look like?

I yelled through the door.

"Shes tall, but not too tall, round by not too round, soft but not too soft.

"Sorry, I havent seen her,

I went to the bar car where the search for the brunette was going on in earnest.

The Goldwater people were frantic. No (Hie can leave the train, an aide shouted, "until the suspect is found.

I bought a couple of sandwiches and went back to my compartment. I forgot the password and walked right in. There she was on the floor working a tiny mimeography machine which kept repeating, "In your head you know hes wrong.

You lied to me. I screamed, grabbing her arm.

"Sure, I lied to you, she snarled. "I am a Democratic spy and Im glad I did it. "Im going to have to turn you in, I said.

She put her arms around me and whispered in my ear, "Why? In my heart you know Im right.

I was about to ring for a porter when the thought occurred to me, What the hell. This is Goldwaters problem.

Seasonal delays in mail are likely to be greater than ever before, slowing down the delivery of direct mall advertising. WHAT TO DO

Here is what retailers can do to avoid costly jam-ups;

1. Reserve space and position ID' newspapers now.

2. Draw up schedules and get similar commitments from local radio and television stations.

3. Step up schedules for circulars and other printed advertising. Advance all dates by a week at least and crack whips to get material out by the new headlines.

4. Talk with the local postmaster about steps to be taken to speed the delivery of advertising material. .(Mention speeding of parcel post while youre there.)

5. Set up quickly alternate ways of getting through delays. Make plans to translate radio and TV material into newspaper and other advertising 11 time is not available. Arrange to have printed matter distributed by hand If the post office congestion gets too bod. Before that, search out stand-by printing facilities for use 11 printed material Is delayed.
