Conservatism

Keys Campaign

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES

THIRD Another candidate for Congress challenging in a tiaditionally strong Democratic district and campaigning more as a conservative than as & rock-ribbed Republican is Sherman Rock of Morehead City.

Rock is the GOP nominee opposing Democrat David Henderson tn the predominantly agricultural, down East Third district where normally a Republican candidate Is a apeck In a sea of Democrats.

It is not yet classed as a close battleground district by state RepuWican strategists. Init it Is perhaps s^ificant that the Third is a recognized hotbed of conservatism and Rocks campaign is otmserva-tlve-oriented.

The district contains some pockets of pure Republican strength, in such counties as Carteret and Sampson, but overall the Democrats va^y outnumber regular GOP voters In the Third.

What does stamp the district and the Henderswi-Rock con-

WILUA5

SHIRES

test with particular interest this Pall is the widespread conservative clement, tte >-parent popularity of Barry Goldwater and the manner in which Rock is conducting his tampaign.

SIMILAR Rocks campaign pattern and strategy is strikingly Rimilaj to that of the Fourth Districts Republican challenger, James Gardner of Rocky Mount.

Both are clinging to Goldwater coattails. Both are am-ducting vigorous, well-financed campaigns with an appeal directed at conservative voters of both parties.

Both have Identified their campaigns with Goldwater the conservative rather than Goldwater the Republican.

rock Rock has raised the issue of socialism and socialistic trends as his principal campaign theme.

He is idugging for free enterprise. amstitutional government, individual freedoms and less government control and Interference.

He is opposing federal civil rights legislation and denouncing government bureaucracy and regulation.

I dont want the government to ten me who to hire and who to fire, he says.

Who are these bureaucrats who want to teU you how to run your business?

He maintains that the issue te his campaign Is freedom ersus socialism.

He is cwitending that the Democrats have pushed the nation into socialism far beyond the hopes and wildest dreams of the Socialist Party. Rock is a relative newcomer to North CaroUna, a native of Pittsburgh. He is an attorney, promoter and developer in the Morehead City area.

RALLY A gala with political flavor, but billed as nonpolitical, is being arranged for next week in Greensboros Memorial Coliseum to boost the Republican cause in North I Carolina,

It sponsors are planning the rally as a climax to the campaign of GOP nominee Robert L. Gavin for governor. Gavin will speak, but the spotlight will be on nationally - known entertainers and performers. The gala is being billed as a Stars for Gavin show.

Name stars such as Dave Garroway, Dina Merrill and movie actor James Stewart and others will be on the program. Chairman J. J. Fras-sineti says these stars will be dcmating their services. They are Republicans and they want to see a two-party system in the South.

There will be politic i a n s there, but theyll be in t h e audience, Frassineti says. We enrision this as a relaxing evening for Bob Gavin and his supporters.

ENDORSE The ringl n g endorsement of President Johnson and Hubert Humphrey by Sen. Sam J. Ervin Jr. at Henderson came as the strongest support for the national Democratic ticket to date by a major state Democratic party spokesman.

It was regarded as especially significant because Ervin was <me of the staunchest foes of the civil rights act and is close to gubernatorial nominee Dan K. Moore. Ervin was one of the earliest supporters of Moore in his race for governor, and Is a top Moore advisor.

Ervin told the Democratic caravan rally at Henderson that Lyndon Johnson is the best qualified man from service at the federal level whos ever served as president. At the same time Ervin said Democrats should not yield to any temptation, however beguiling, to vote for Goldwater.

He admired Goldwaters political courage and applauded his vote against the av Rights act. Ervin said, but added that Goldwater needs more to be president . . .he needs understanding.

REGISTRATION Eligible voter registration In populous Guilford County has now reached nearly 100,000. A recent registration drive added 5,000 to 6,000 voters to the registration rolk, according to Mrs, Margaret Schecter, executive secretary of the Guilford elections board.

Tn the 1960 presidential election. 71.843 ballots were case In Guilford.

another challenge lies in the field of agriculture where North Carolina, in spite of the fact it is a great agricultural state, has not nearly developed

its full potential.

These things, plus others that are needed, will require not only time and effort by officials and citizens, but money as well. Some look at the per capita income of the state and ^assert North Carolina can hardly do more than it is already doing to foster its own development.

A careful and objective evaluation of all the facts, however, strongly suggests that North Carolina can ill afford not to do more in these fields if it is to achieve the goal of a per capita income at least on a par with half the states of the nation. North Carolina must carefully evaluate its resources and then use them to the best advantage in developing conditions, that will provide a higher per capita income for its people.

Differences

'-rom 1960 Race

By JAMES MARLOW

WASHINGTON (AP) The 1964 presidential campaign, boring in many ways up till now, isnt altogether different from the 1%0 race of Vice Ih'esident Richard M. Nixon and Sen. John F. Kennedy.

But two things make it unique in recent American history:

1. Sen. Barry Goldwaters repeated charge that scandal hovers over the White House, although he offered no proof, and his preachments on the need for morality in government. Voters havent heard that for a long time.

And then Wednesday night, it was learned that Walter W. Jenkins, an aide to President Johnson for many years, was twice arrested on a morals charge. He resigned.

2. This years election will decide the direction of the government for years to come, since Johnson wants continuation of big government, with new programs as he thinks theyre needed. Goldw a t e r wants smaller government.

Because of this No. 2 prob-

lem the 1964 campaign, unlike that of 1960 is not strictly a personality contest. There is a real issue and a real difference from the Nixon-Kennedy contest.

There was no basic difference between them on domestic or foreign affairs or t h e kind of government needed. They didnt offer to change it but to improve it.

So the main question for the voters then was: Which of the two men could run the government better? In 1960 Nixon and Kennedy wrangled over their ideas on how to defend the offshore islands of Quemoy and Matsu frwn Red Chinese attack.

This was a pretty emiXy dispute, as time proved, becau.se the problem of defending the Islands has never arisen since 1960. It was an issue which hardly caught fire: the Islands were too far off for voters to visualize the problem.

Something like that is happening now in the dispute between Johnson and Goldwater over whether the NATO commander or the President alone should have control over the use of Ibonventional atomic weapons.

This is a complicated subject, shrouded in national security. and so far out of the experience of ordinary voters that most of them cant understand or visualize all thats Involved.

As for the needling business,

without which a camp a i g n would be no campaign, Nixon and Kennedy needled each other and so do Johnson and Gold-water, Nixon and Kennedy were a little clumsy at it. So are Johnson and Goldwater.

Goldwater came up with an idea: Hed cut taxes 25 per cent at the rate of 5 per cent a year but he had to attach a couple of ifs to it: If Congress approved and if .the budget was balanced each year.

No one can predict what shape the budget will be in five years in a row. This suggestion didnt raise sparks and Goldwater doesnt mention it much if at all anymore.

Johnson, on the other hand, has been trying to play it cook, making practically no promises he didnt make before the campaign began. Since hes out front in the polls or has been until now he seems to be coasting.

But as this is written just a few hours after the news of Jenkins arrest broke theres no telling whats going to happen in the campaign or to it.

Nixon and Goldwater faced the same problem: Trying to pull the conservative and liberal wings of the Republican party together long enough to vote for them since a Republican needs all the party votes he can get to win.

In 1960 Kennedy had to criticize the Eisenhower administration in order to say he could do better without criticizing the highly popular President Eisenhower. If he had hit Eisenhower, it might have cost him the election, Johnson, having watched a number of liberal Republicans split off from the conservative Goldwater, has been wool n g them as hard as he pitched for the Democratic vote.

If, as Secretary of. State Dean Rusk says, the Red Chinese are due to puU off some type (rf nuclear esg^losion fore very long. It will mean that the .S. must fish or cul bait on its Par Eastern policy.

Do-It-Yourself P ackage

Every four years we ixit out a do-it-yourself Presidential Campaign Election Kit, which makes it possible for any person to pretend he is running for the highest office in the land.

This year we present two

one for those who wnt to run on the Democratic ticket and one for those who want to run on the Republican ticket.

The Democratic do-it-yourself kit comes with a Texas hat, a barbecue grill, a miniature television station, and two

toy beagles.

The speech that comes with the kit is as follows:

Thank you, Governor . Fellow Americans and citizens of the great state of .

I am so happy to be in the beautiful town of ----. My

To The Editor:

You are to be congratulated for the editorial in The Daily Reflector on October 14, 1964 entitled Our Unrealized Farm Potentials. I have been watching your editorial page closely for several months hoping for news of this type to appear before the public.

Tobacco, no doubt, will continue to be grown and used and will satisfy some farm families with their needs and wants. For those who can look into the future and see this will not be true for them, now is the time to diversify because it will take from one to five years to realize income from most any type farm program. I am optimistic about the future of our agriculture because we most likely will continue to need all of our known agricultural products, and with the Increasing population some one will supply the market.

Eastern North Carolina has all it needs at the very finger tips for diversification, that is we are blessed with a type of soil that will grow a variety of crops and livestock, the climate excellent, and usually sufficient rainfall (irrigation can supplement if needed). Capital is also available to farmers who operate on sound basis. This Is the situation farmers are currently facing. A typical farmer is having to push hard Just to maintain his present competitive position. If he is to move out in front, he must efficiently use every resource available to him.

With specialization and increased farm size has come rapid adoption of modem production technology. While pro-ducti(xi know-how has increased yields and reduced labor

requirements, it has not been without cost. Today an average of about 70 percent of gross sales of farm products is required to cover production cost. Farmers turn to credit institutions to help them meet needs for operating and development capital. On January 1, 1964 the principal lenders in North Carolina had farm loans outstanding of $456.3 million. These lenders, no doubt, stand ready to increase their amounts to meet the needs for all sound agricultural programs.

Would it be impossible for enough counties to join together and the farmers form a cooperative and own their own food processing plant? Our own State College and Department of Agriculture, no doubt, could supply valuable information on the subject. Changes in t h e structure of production and marketing suggest opportunities for improving farm incomes. In each case, however, an adjustment on farms is required. Only rarely is the farmer able to bend the market structure to suit his own purposes.

If we, who are charged with serving agriculture, are to be of much help to the farmer in this struggle, we must be able to recognize the forces responsible for the dilemma and be ready to bring our efforts to bear on the problems.

Agriculture holds a great future for those who put forth the willingness and guts and are able to manage .the con-tinued Increased amounts of capltW that will be needed to do the job.

Very truly yours.

tween the Chinese mainland and Formosa, could easily be immobilized by the most primitive sort of nuclear bomb. And it would not be a superhuman feat for a Red Chinese pilot to drop a makeshift bomb on Formosa Itself.

The question Is not whether Red China wiU or will not have what is called major atomic capability In the near future. The question Is whether the U.S., which has bigger bombs and a developed missile delivery system, is prepared to put its weapons at the service of small Asiatic nations if Red China tries to blackmail them. If our dJpltv 'macy Indicates for a, single moment that we will not come to the assistance of Formosa. South Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines or India in case Mao Tse-tung chooses to brandish a primitive atomic weapon at one of them, we will be through as a force in the Far East. The rush to propb tiate Red China will carry ev-er^hing before it.

The moment that Red China gets an atomic bomb it will make any soft diplomacy academic so far as the Fw East is concerned. How could you significantly neutralize a South Vietnam that is close to a fire-breathing Mao Tse-tung armed with nuclear power? The only way you could do It would be to offer atondo sanctions to the neutralized nation, prtHnising to devastate Red China or one of its privileged sanctuary satellites in case the Communists chose to violate the neutrality guarantee. What this means, in practical terms, to ^

North Vietnam must call off its infUtration of South Vietnam if there is to be any guarantee of South Vietnam that means anything. But tW* J* precisely what the North Vietnamese have proved themselves unwilling to do. A r s they likely to be any more pliable once Red China has a crude atomic bomb?

The recent Cairo conference of the non-aligned world proved the difficulty of dealing with nations which are unwilling to follow the line that peaceful co-existence with tho capitalist West is possible. Indonesias Sukarno and Ghanas Nkrumah may have been outvoted by the more peacefully inclined non-aligned nations, but the tough Sukarno dlspl^ ed no willingness to relax In his fight against what he calls the old forces of domination.** And with Mao Tse-tung brandishing an atomic bomb, tho nations would surely step up (Continued on page I).

By EARL L. DOUGLA.SS IT STARTED IN EDEN

Food experts tell us that we hunger only for calories not for vitamins or protein; only for calories. 0 course we all know what calories do to the waistline. If we could ju.st get hungry for vitamins and proteins we could do a little something about this problem of overweight. But when hunger arises, it is for calories. It Is probably not stretching the application of this fact to the breaking point to remind ourselves that usually the things we want most are the things we need lea.st, or the things which would actually do us harm if we got them.

Calories have an important place in human diet. So does wealth in the general make-up

of a mans life; so docs love of power; so does that gay and carefree spirit which enables us to let down after protracted periods of hard work. But the trouble to that we want wealth and position and pleas- ^ ure too much. These have * their place in life but Just as our hunger to almost exclusively for calories, so our desires for lifes benefits usually lead us to want things that may very easily do u* harm.

Maybe this to what the theologians have in mind when they talk about original sin a greater hankering after things that will hurt us than after the things that will help us. Adam and Eve seem to have given a bad twtet to the minds and natures of ua all.

By ELMER ROESSNER CHever jewelry robberies may be hot stuff on television, but the really smooth crooks regard them as kid stuff today. The Brinks robbery and the British train heist may have set records in loot, but they ato act reomto In risk and many of the participants are in juggery.

The modem formula to to buy control of a legitimate operation, loot it and get out. There to no danger of getting shot and very little danger of getting a tough prison sentence.

This to how it works: The operator looks around until he finds a company that owns or controls a considerable amount of negotiable assets, and te a company in which control can be purchased for a modest amount of cash. If all the necessary cash to not on hand, lending Institutions can be, counted upon to advance the rest.

TAKE IT FROM THEREOUT TAKE IT!

After control to purchased, the operator moves hto ovm key men into key positions.

Then he puts on a public relations campaign, an important step to eliminate suspicion of future operations. J it to a

community institution, there will probably be a dinner for local leaders and a speech about what the new management is going to do for the community by creating more jobs, greater investment opportunities and perhaps supporting a civic (era company.

If tt to a widespread company, then there will be a series of statements about what will be done and how everybody will benefit.

THEN CASH IN After that, the process of milking the company beg i n s. There are many ways:

Putting relatives on the payroll.

Letting contiacts for sup-pUes at high prices, with fat kicklxicks to the operator.

Selling company-owned real estate, taking commiss ions and kickbacks.

Making easy loans to frleijds and conspirators. An institutlftn can be bled to death in a short time this way.

S e 1 n n R subsidiaries to friends and relatives at a fraction of their worth.

Making contracts with relatives to supervise advertising deals, etc. A ,br(>ther-ln-t a w might get $100.000 a year to

make sure television commercials appear, and might kick back $90,000.

Buying real estate and selling it to the company at great profit.

There are thousands of other devices. The milking of corporations yields some of the fattest cream avallabl to sharp dealers today.
