BOOM North Cau-olina is riding the crest of a rechrd boom in industrial develoi>-ment.

Figures bearing out an unprecedented rate of industrial grov^th are contained in a report submitted by the Commerce and Industry division, to the State Board of Conservation and Development, holding Its October meeting at Sedge-

^^The report for the third quarter trf 1964 shows total capital Investment in new plants and industrial expansion of $94,885,000 which is the highest on recwd for a corresponding period.

C&I officials said the third quarter total capital investment exceeded that of the same quarter last year by more than 50 per cent. The 1963 figure was $60.250,000 and that for 1%2 was $53,050,000.

WILLIAM

SHIRES

EXPAND The record rate of industrial growth was evidence of the states expanding economy, C&I said.

Expansions of existing plants led the progress with $55.223,-000 of total investment, while $39,662,000 was reported for new plant investment.

There were 94 plant expansions listed in the three months period and 41 new plant locations.

Textile products led the field in investments totaling $59,794.000 followed by food and kindred products plants with $8.174,000. Metalworking projects amounted to $7,777,-000 and furniture and fixtures $6,754.000.

C&I said new employment expected to be created by the location of new plants and industrial expansiwis announced during the period would total 9,936. This, officials said, will exceed the industrial employment gain for the two preceding years combined.

SERVICES Also reflecting the stepped-up rate of industrialization is steady growth in scope and volume by C&I's advisory service relating to industrial flnancing.

The section gives active assistance in finding sources of capital.

It reported Increasing demands for this service. During the three riMMiths period,

, the section assisted In finding

sources of loans amounting to

more than $15 million for new plants and expansions.

The report to C&D said that since the state must compete with public credit In many neighboring states, this finan

cing advisory service has become increasingly essential. North Carolina does not use pubUc credit, nor grant tax-free concessions in attracting industry.

Similar service by the commerce and industry division to provided for established and existing industry as that for new' industry. Such services during the past quarter included a government sales tour which brought government procurement officials together with manufacturers wishing to do business with government agencies.

It also reported success in assisting manufacturers to find sources of suw>ly and in locating outlets for cwitract manufacturing.

food C&I reported staff changes and strengthening of the food industries' program, especially in work toward development <rf the seafood industry.

Lewis F. Dunn, formerly section chief for food industries, was assigned wi a full-time basis to seafood development.

Calls were made on 13 out-of-state manufacturers and nine prospective food industries visited the state during the period. C&I reported assistance to food processing industries in the state on merchandising problems, distribution, sales and raw material procurement.

Other activities included a study for upgrading of commodity reports and special emphasis was placed on an economic study of peanuts and white potatoes. There was a sur\'ey of commercial freezers across the state to determine availability for storage space.

RESEARCH C&Is research and statistics sect i o n has compUed a comparative analysis of changes in North Carolina industry between 1958 and 1962.

This analysis gives statistical data on manufacturing in leading industrial counties and for the state as a whole. The summary shows an Increase In value added by msmufacture from $3,095,000.000 (b) in 1958 to $4,248,345.000 (b) In 1%2 for the state as a whole.

This sectiwi also prepares lists and maintains informational files an developing industrial prospects. Directories of the 500 largest U.S. corporations are screened carefully.

Forty six of the top 100 companies in the natiOTi have some type of weratiMi in North Carolina and of the entire list of 500 firms. 133 have plants in the state. Last year the number was 125.

OTHER C&I also is engaged in technical studies directed at advantage of plant location in North Carolina, In preparatlOTi and use of technical data, in locating sources of supply and services for prospective industry, in inventorying of available industrial buildings and inspections of indu^ trial sites.

, What is the problem of Communist subversion inside the United States? How does it enter the presidential campaign?

Communist subversion, curately defined, is that which stems from the international Communist movement. It is activity stimulated or promoted by Moscow or Peking, or the American Communist Paity, or some other center of communism.

Of such subversion, there Is probably less in the United States today than at any time since the Hoover administration. The Communist Party itself is very weak, its publications puny, its propaganda inept. The FBI has infUtrated organized communism from top to bottom. There are doubtless plenty of Communist spies in the United States carefully disguised, but this is something different. Anybody who detects anything he believes to be Communist espionage should communicate at once with the FBI.

In the face of such evidence, the John Birch Society says that 50 to 70 percent of everything of political or economic importance in American life is effectively controlled by communism! What do they mean? At the risk of putting words into the mouths of people who speak very freely and vigorously for themselves, we believe that they, and the numerous other patriotic Americans who are disturbed by many conditions in the United States, are talking about something quite different from anything accurately identified as cranmunism.

They are talking about policies and people they do not like. They are talking about big government the trend toward socialism which alsp needs more careful definition. They are talking about international policies of coexistence. They are talking about many aspects of the welfare state. They are talking and they say so about the income tax (which they describe as Communist-inspired) and the whole flow of social legislation from at least 1913 until the present. Some of them, as in the South, identify the entire civil-rights movement with communism.

All this, and much more that could be cited, gives communism altogether too much credit and power. It immensely exaggerates the actual role communism plays. It blurs and confuses, and makes it all the harder to hit at targets many of which ought to be hit.

When it is possible, as it so

traitors. They are not guilty of treason today. But there are serious questions, tests, restraints, reversals, which need to be applied to many of their policies.

The power of government should certainly be held to a minimum. But it is not necessarily Communist or socialist to advocate some particular governmental activity.

Individual responsibility for personal welfare, for retirement income,, for insurance, should certainly be maximized.

But federal and state t>rcrams of social security, properly safeguarded and administered and where individuals are not able to act, are not Communistic.

strong. But it is not treason to carry out economy pr(rams in

the defense establishment, or even to believe and act on the theory that the manned superbomber is on the way out.

Taxes should not weaken incentive or burden business. But the income tax is an efficient way to collect revenue. Held to proper bounds, it is not a Communist plot.

The dollar should be protected, But devaluation in 1933, or the loss of gold in 1950s and 60s, were not treasonable plots.

Let us, therefore, attack problems in explicit terms and on their own merits and demerits. This newspaper is opposed to the aggrandizement of government, the sapping of Individual initiative, the development of a welfare state, the constant taking-over of private activities by government. We would like to see many governmental enterprises turned back to private hands. We want fiscal policies not alone of the federal government, but of cities and states as well which promote a strong private econo my by the least possible burdens of taxation or regulation. We are basically conservative, if it is conservatism to believe in limited government, individual responsibility, and the fundamental freedoms.

Nevertheless, we know that the problems of the United States are complex, though simple truths do indeed apply to them all. We know that private power is vast and can be monopolistic and repressive, just as government can be. It has to be prevented from abuse as much as possible by vigorous competition. We know that totalitarian and subversive forces seek t^rule the world.

LX-Enthusiast Of Karate

Every once in a while we hear a true story that is so sad we can hardly write it. The other day we heard one about a friend of ours who lives in California. We shall call him Jake KUduff to protect his identity.

Jake, who works in motion pictures, took up the sport of karate about ten years ago. Karate is a Japanese defense system in which the use of the hands plays the major role. Callouses are built up on the hand in such a way that an experienced karate expert can break a brick or a two-by-four by just bringing the edge of his hand down on It.

Let it be said that Jake was

in the class with the experts. He was a black belt which is pretty high in Karate hierarchy and, while other husbands watched television or read Playboy. Jake used to spend his time in the cellar breaking blocks of wood with his hand.

Jakes wile thought it was a lot of foolishness and a waste of money (he had invested $3,-000 in karate lessons) and every once in a while shed yell down to the cellar, Will you stop breaking those bricks with your hand and come to bed? Someday, Mother, he said, youre going to be happy I know karate. It is the greatest self-defense ever devised by

man.

After ten years went by even Jake started to doubt he would have a chance to use his skills. But then the big day came.

He was driving along a Los Angeles freeway on a Sunday afternoon with his wife when a sports car cut in front of him. Jake got mad and cut in front of the sports car. The man in the sports car got mad and cut in front of Jake.

Pretty soon they were shouting at each other and the man in the sports call yelled, Pull off the freeway and 111 punch you in the nose.

Jake was elated. All the years of practice and expense were finally going to pay off. His wife begged him to ignore the (^her man. but Jake just rubbed his calloi^"'^ ayainst

dent Eisenhower or Secretary Dulles were not, in fact, coii-scious agents of communism, it is easier to dismiss the entire argument put by the radical right. In that sense, at least, the extremists have done great harm to the cause they profeiK and to American life itself. The clouds of suspicion they have thrown about so many eminent and responsible Americans have served to hide the real dangers that exist.

The radical right has built for itself and the country a vast semantic booby trap. They, and the rest of us, are prisoners of their own misleading words.

A federal district court has ordered a ban on the use of tax-supported funds in Virginia segregated private schools, but it may be that Virginia has scored a legal point even while seeing its efforts to maintain segregated schools defeated by federal courts.

Virginia has told the 4th U. S. C^cult Court of Appeals that Ihe ban also casts doubts as to the consUtutionality of several programs of the federal government itself. T,he essence of the Virginia apiJeal is that If the ban appUes to the state case it also may apply to federal cases.

In fUing its appeal, Virginia asks that the district court decision leading to the ban be set aside. The state argues that the right of parents to educate their children in schools of their choice as part of the right of free association and assembly is protect-

Virginia contends the

NAACT* Is gunning for bigger game than just the states tui

tion grant system. Its attempt, declared the brief, is to prohibit any payment of tuition grants by state or county authorities for use in segregated schools, public or private.

One may ask, the brief continues, how far the principle for which the plaintiffs (NAACP) argue extends, .again is the federal government similarly forbidden to take any action which might indirectly benefit schools which discriminate on the grounds of race?

What about the National Defense Education Act loans and fellowships, the National Science Foundation grants and fellowships, the Public Health Service grants and contracts? Most directly analogous of all. what about the tuiti<m grants under the so-called GI bill of rights and other similar legislation?

In addition, the brief contends the district court's decision is In conflict with the courts decision which banned tuition grants in Prince Edward County so long as put^ 11c schools remained closed. The point Virginia is making is that tuition grants for use of segregated private schools does not deny plaintiffs any constitutional rights when public schools are open on an Integrated basis.

Jake studied him calmly.

The driver moved forward, his right fist held back. The guy is leaving himself wide open, Jake thought to himself. Well, he asked for it. Jake reached down to unfasten his car safety belt. It was stuck. He tried to unfasten it again. It was still stuck. The man reached Jakes car, Jake fought desperately, but to no avail. The driver of the other car reached into the window and hit Jake in the mouth, knocking out two teeth.

West Virginia has a new wood-plastic product that will bring substantial new Income to the state. It is the result of applied nuclear research at West Virginia University.

The.new material looks like wood, can be sawed, drilled and sanded but is stronger and absorbs less moisture than natural wood.

To make it, wood was impregnated with a Mould plastic material, then irradiated vrith gamma rays from a cobalt-60 source.

This is but one monetary result of current nuclear research at Southern universities. The expensive nuclear accelerators (atom smashers), reactors and radiation counters which Southern schools have acquired over the post dozen years are paying off not only In industry but In medicine, agriculture and engineering. Southern Institutions of higher leanng are increasing. their role in turning the item to peaceful uses, coming from behind In the acquisition of the elaborate instruments required for this specialized research and in expanding their training programs, as well.

Christopher Columbus When he started out he didnt know where he was going, when he got to the end of hLs journey he didnt know where he was, when he got back home he didnt know where he had been. Yet he stands out as one of the greatest persons in human history. He did the right thing, he did the greatest thing but his reasons were all wrtmg.

Columbus had the absurd idea that the circumference of the earth was eight thou.sand miles. We know today that is the diameter, not the circumference, of the earth that is eight thousand miles. His opponents assured the king and queen of Spain that the circumference of the earth was twenty-thousand miles and they were not far off (25,000). They assured their majesties that if this fool adventurer

were to start out for India his crews would all perish for he could not possibly carry enough food and water for the journey. Therefore, they urged. bum him at the stake before he causes all this loss of life.

What nobody knew was that there were two continents which we now caU North and South America and these would prevent his getting to India. (And we had better get to the moon first, God only knows what may be on that satellite whk5h would be of inestimable value to the natl<m '"which gets there first).

When Columbus landed on an island In the Caribbean he was sure he was near the coast of India that he called the natives Indians an a^urd name for the red man.

Higher nonferrous metals: Forecasts here of higher copper and zinc prices have been fulfilled and this Is to predict further rises in almost all nonferrous metals, largely because of higher demand and higher wages.

It would supplement the Small Business Administrations direct and participating loans to small business, the small business investment companies, and banks and other institutions lending operations.
