PLUMS Attention perked up noUcesbly the other dsy when ft highly Plftccd source hinted of choice plums In the offing for North Carolina in event <4 ft Democratic victory in the presidential column next Tuesday.

It was a development ripe for political speculation. The string plftinly attached, of course, li whether North Carolina goes ftH* Lsmdon B. John-eoo and ctxitributes to the De-rooerftts' anticipated victory over Barry M. Q(4dwater.

But whether North Carolina win go along with LBJ is and has been a question of shaky uncertainty throughout the Fall campaign. TTe states 13 electoral votes are still classed as doubtful.

Therefore, mention of specific Democratic political plums clearly was intended as strong medicine administered almost on the eve of the election.

WILUAIW

aiUKB#

Sen. Oeorge Smathers of Florida, a member of the national Democratic canpaign committee, q>eaking at a state Democratic caravan rally in CanUx), hometown of the Democratic nominee lor governor, Dan K. Moore.

Bmathers predicted two possible plums, both particularly attractive to western North Carolina.

One, a UJ. Supreme Court igDPolntment for senior Sen. Sim J. Ervin Jr. of Morgan-ton, and the other extension of the Blue Ridge Parkway from the AabevUle-Cherokee area to populous, metropolitan Atlante.

SEEN Neither prediction was entirely new. Ervin is re-e(nliied as a leading authority on eonstitutional law. He is a UffTotx state supreme court juatloe and a legal bulwark on tbs Senate Judiciary committee.

Of course. It is expected* that appointment of Ervin, a Southerner, a conservative and an (fl?p<ment of the 1964 Civil Bights act. would encounter Strang oppoaltkm. Nevertheless, Smathers spoke of it.

Boms observers regarded this predlctton as a bid for Johnson support not only in wartsm North Carolina, but statewide. Ervin is respected and greatly admired in Eastern North Carolina too. Alao, he Is close to the moderate-eonaervatlve group which support! Moore In the state election but which hks been guarded and cautious about

giving enthusiastic, aU-otrt support to the Johnson-Hum

phrey ticket.

BID Elxtensi(m of the Blue Ridge Parkway through additiwial areas of Nth Carolina and Georgia, tapping the rich tourist market of AUanta has been suggested on numerous occati(is and, in fact. Is being planned.

But Smathers reference to it was regarded as a strong and open partisan bid to bring western North Carolina Into the Johnm-Humphrey fold.

This ai^ared to streogtiien Increasing Democratic confidence that there will be a considerably heavier Democratic vote, both state and national, ijQ the western ctHinties this time and that this may offset inroads by Goldwatcr to Eastern North Carolina.

The candidacy of Moore, a westerner, may help bring out a bigger Democratic vote in the West too. although Republican Robert L. Gavin who split the west with Gov. Terry Sanford in 1960 still predicts he will carry moat of the mountain countlaa.

GOP Strength of the GOP in western North Carolina is evident in resulta of past elections.

In 1960, for example, the Republicans canied the three westernmost congressional districts in the inreaidential voting.

In the 11th district, Richard M. Nixon received 85,925 votes to 69.818 for John P. Kennedy. In the 10th district, it was 79,567 for Nixon and 64,930 for Kennedy and In the Ninth, 96,-174 for Nixon and 66,803 for Kennedy.

Republicans In the west were calling &nathers predictions nothing more than blatant, undisguised pt^tical promises. But there was no doubt either that they were designed and timed for maximnm effect.

BREAKFAST A pilot program is being cwiducted in the city-county school system of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County to fumieb a free breakfast to any hungry child who does not get breakfast at home.

Officials are uu;ouragtd by the iwogram and want to expand it. A progress report on the pilot program showed tiiat 161 children received a simple breakfast on one morning at three elementary achools. The number included 72 children at one school wbtrt ths pro* gram was started on Oet. 12.

School board membtra sn-couraged extsnshm of the program to any of the system'f 65 schools whsrs it Is nesded. In srane oases, volunteer workers wl be recruited to assist in the program.

The fret breakfast consists of a Choles of four typss of cereals, cracksd wheat, grits, rice and oatmeal, aqd milk, with cheese and rtils added when possible.

The best way to tackle social and health problems is to meet them head on and to do this some organization has to take the lead. *

With this in mind we offer our congratulations to the Mental Health Association, which has taken the lead in establishing the Pitt County Alcohol Information and Service Center here.

Using a state grant and Pitt ABC board appropriations the Mental Health Association has seen the opening of the Alcoholic Center office at 916 Dickinson Ave.

The center, under the direction of Mrs. Helen Barrett, proposes to institute an educational program to remove the stigma attached to alcoholism, to promote adequate facilities for treatment of alcoholism and to help the alcbholic and others to realize that the alcoholic can recover.

All the centers services will be furnished without charge.

Alcoholism is a tremendous problem in this society of ours. It affects many families. Family heads lose their self respect* their jobs respect of loved ones and friends.

We believe the Pitt Alcohol Information and Service Center can be of great benefit to the county; first by making young people aware of the dangers of drinking; second by helping those who have already fallen victim to drinking.

There is no simple answers to alcoholism. America has tried prohibition and it did not work. Somewhere there is an answer, however, and it is through the work of such centers as this that it will come to light.

'Silent Vote'

issues Never Got Into Focus

There has been a great deal of talk this election about the silent vote. The silent voter may be the key to next weeks election, because he is the one who reiuses to tell the pollsters whom he is really for.

We were very fortunate to Interview one of these silent voters the other day. He happened to be a neighbor and when we went over to the

Iwuse to talk to him his wife answered the door.

Good day, maam. Im taking a poll of silent voters and 1 was wcmdering if I could talk to your husband.

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) - Before the presidential campaign. Dean Burch, chairman of the Republican National Committee, said Sen. Barry Goldwater would not become involved in 40 to 50 issues but on the vital ones because too ? many issues and the campaign can come unglued.

Its unglued now. It has been all over the lot and no newspaper reader could keep up with the statements of the candidates unless he kept a notebook, although from the start until now there were just two basic issues and they have remained valid and vivid all the way through. Everything else said to this campaign has been piled on top of them.

Johnson Is for big government with a broad, and broadening, responsibility for the general welfare; Goldwater is for less government, less government help, more reliance by the individual on himseU.

The second issue is inextricably tied up with the first and voters cant separate them. Which of the candidates, Johnson or Goldwater, can better be trusted with running the government and all that means In domestic problems, foreign dilemmas, and no doubt some crisis?

On top of them Goldwater added these as Issues: Bobby Baker, BllUe Sol Estes, South "Viet Nam, waning . 8. prestige around the world, the nations whole foreign policy, morality in government, peace, corruption in government, the choice between "socialism and tovidual freedom. dom.

But there were more: control of nuclear weapons, handling NATO, the United Nar tlcms, Cuba, Castro, dealings with communism, spend! n g, space development, plane development, American defenses. Red China, Americans for De

mocratic Acticm, civU rights, agriculture.

At first Democrats made their big pitch on Goldwaters extremism. This was, in effect, a personal attack on him and it has remained a consistent Democratic tactic which got under his skin. But Goldwater has consistently made personal attacks on Johnson.

Johnson through it all. perhaps because from the beginning he felt sure of winning or because the polls convinced him by showing him away out in front month after month, has used a fast brush when It came to any serious or detailed discussion of most of what Goldwater considered issues.

Johnson apparently didnt think it necessary to lay out new programs, at least in understandable detail. Goldwater was just as vague on this score. All the while, the Democrats kept needling Goldwater, and theyre doing it now, with the suggestkgi be is trig* ger happy. He bought the bait and has used up a lot of his time denying he is.

Now, near the very end theyre doing what theyve been doing all alcmi: attacking each other personally.

Theyre not spending much time any more on nuclear triggers or Viet Nam or NATO or " Cuba. What theyve been saying in the past few days speaks for itself.

Johnson is picturing Goldwater as too reckless for the presidency and says the real Issues are all the programs Goldwater has voted against, like the CivU Rights Act. the nuclear test-ban treaty, low income housing, and so on.

Goldwater is whirling around the country caUing Johnson arrogant, power-hungry, selfish and a little loose with the truth and warning that to follow the say of Johnson would be national suicide. He saya, (Continued On Page 6)

Other Editors Saying... Progress Everywhere

(The Wilson Times)

We have been reading so many encouraging statistics on the Industrial rate of growth In North Carolina, we were prepared to believe industry was packing up and moving South. Every time the statistics are revealed North Carolina Is leading all Southern states, possibly with the exception of Florida in Industrial development.

So on a recent trip to New England we would not have been surprised to see long processions of moving vans, aarrying heavy equipm e n t, coming South. This is a bit m the humorous side, we admit. What we did see was the fastest growing industrial areas we have visited slnee last year. Highways here, there and yonder, above and below, bridge at every turn of the bend in the rivers. The hammering and naUlng seemed to be the natural sounds of the countJT.

If you are to or near a city around 4:30, you get In one lane and there Isnt a chance to get out, you just go with the crowd. The crowd ccxnes from the factories. And the highways are three and four lanes and they are needed. Building Is going on everywhere, there Is the air of prosperity, and we saw no signs of an old, worn out economy, of obsolete machinery, hamstrung with high taxes, high labor costa and high expansloi

costs. What we saw was extensin and growth.

Frankly you began to feel the slow pace around this section about Weldon on our way home. No, do not expect the industrial growth to come from disillusioned people above the Mason-Dlxcm line. We must work hard, advertise our advantages and evidently do more than we are doing to attract industry.

The record for the state may be the best in the Bouth, and Eastern Carolina gets a few industries here and there, but they are too few and far between. And what we are saying about WUsmi 1 ture of the other cities in the area.

We can tell you now, do not depend on Industry moving Bouth, If we ever become Industrialized we will have to develop the Industries, and grow from within. Certainly we will welcome, with shouts of joy, and new Industry which moves here. In.fact we will roll out the red carpet. But think how long it has been since we got a really large industry, an employer of a sizeable number of people*

We are not disillusioned. We do know we have much to complete with; as roads^ aklUed labor and the assets highly industrialized areas bring. We also know we must have industries. We can no longer depend on our agricultural ec> nomy as Important la It Is.

George, theres a fellow here from the press want to talk to you about the election. George refused to stand up or shake hands. His wife said, I told.you he wouldnt cooperate. All he does is sit there In the chair and purse his Ups.

Sir, we said, I know you dont want to talk much, but the election Is only a few days away and the sUent vote could be a big factor in tlie election. Could you give me Some sort of hint of whom you favor? George grunted.

What did he mean by that? we asked his wife.

He's either trying to say something, she repUed, or else hes hungry.

Sir, I know your vote Is secret and I certainly do not want to violate a confidence, but if we cant gauge the sU-cnt vote our polls may be way. off and this could cause havoc with our free election system. George snarled and showed hi teeth.

Did I get him angry? No, he does that about once every 15 minutes. Hes probably thinking of one of the issues that gets him furious. George, we pleaded, Im not going to use your name. This will be Just between you and me. Perhaps Ill ask questions and then all you have to do Is nod your head yes or no.

Consider the dilemma of us conservatives when faced with the problem of what might be termed the T(n Dodd Democrat.

The Tom Dodd Democrat takes his name from Senator Thomas Dodd of Connecticut. Senator Dodd appeals to conservative voters In his own state this year because of a record of remarkable foresight in foreign affairs. When the UN forces were chasing the antl-Red Tshombe out of Katanga, an idiotic procedure if there ever was one, Tom Dodd stood up ( his hind legs In Washington and said President John P. Kennedy had muffed one when he decided to support the UN. And when things began going to the devil In Cuba, in Indonesia and in South Vietnam, Tom Dodd was among the first to speak out against our generally weak foiv elgn poUcy stances. Soo how can conservatives vote to replace Tom Dodd to the Swiate even when the Connecticut Republicans offer an appealing candidate, John DftTla

Lodge, to run against hlmt The answer, in each conservatives mind, will come after along struggle to balance the compulsions of domestic polt tics against the feeling that foreign policy could be the most Important Issue in the U. S. This columnist doesnt favor Tom Dodds domestic 'gambits, which would extend the New Deal program beyond sound fiscal limits. But as long as there Is a wall to Berlin, a Castro ninety miles away to Cuba, and Viet Cong murder ers shooting at American soldiers in South Vietnam, foreign policy must take precedence over domestic matters in my estimatton. So bow could I keep from voting for Tom Dodd in my home state on election day? This is said without prejudice against John Davis Lodge, who thinks as Dodd does on many issues. But the seasoned man, so it seems to me, deserves continuation in office as long as he is doing a job which few others have had the good sense and the good nerve to do.

Just down the line from Connecticut, In the eastern section of New Yorks Westchester County, there is another Tom Dodd-type Democrat running. He Is Frank Conniff the well-known national affairs editor of the Hearst newspapers, and he hH?ce off an upset on November in a normally Republican district to take a U. S. House of Representatives job away from Ogden or Brownie Reid, who once owned the New York Herald Tribune.

Prank Conniff, as a political columnist, was rlfiht to there with Tom Dodd on foreign policy Issues as tiiey have affected the U. 8. vls-ft-vls the Red world. Although Prank, again lUte Dodd, is for the Kennedy-Johnson format on domestic policy, he did not fUnch from telling the truth about the Kennedy fumbles in Vietnam. To Prank Conniff, it made no sense whatsoever to oust a firm anti-Communist leader like Diem, and he said so in spite of all the pressures of his Democratic Party to remain, allent on the subject.

The problem faced by C(mi-nlff to his Westchester District 26 Isnt so easy to solve as. Dodds problem to Connecticut. Dodd is a Catholic, running for office In a state that has a Catholic majority.

The brewing industry, which has been undergoing sweeping and pervasive change since the end of prohibition, may faoe even greater changes, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia conoludes to its Octi^r Business Review.

The first fully automated breweiY has Just been opened. Water and solid ingredients are Introduced at one end, the old bubbly comes out at the other, the bank reports. The ingredients flow continuously through a maze of stainless steel pipes, colls and tanks, and the old-time brewmeister. characterized as Herr Fluegelhom,* has been replaced by a computer.

The automated brewery la supposed to cost leas to buUd and to operate than competing instaUations; production Is said to be more flexible and quality is easy to control. obaerved the Third Fed.

MORE REVOLUnONg AHEAD

If this is true, within a malr ter of years every brewery to the United Stotes wUl have to be automated or closed. Competition is 10 Intense to the brewing Industry that only the

efficient can survive. After prohibition, 7(X) breweries were opened. Today there are only 150 left, the rest having closed or merged because they could not keep up with competlti(m.

And perhaps even before the auUnnteioD revolution Is completed, a new one will begin, the beer concentrate revolu-tMl.

A new process takes mueh of the water out of beer, reducing Its volume by 75 per cent. The resulting concentrate can be stored cheaply and to less space, which means that brewera might be able to operate* aut(MTiated plants for longer runs at peak efficiency. Shippers dont have to lug all that water around and this, tf it results in lower prices, could open up vast pew markets bo^ at home and abroad. The beer syrup' ean be reconstituted by replacing the water and fizz. . .

LIKE COLA DEALERSHIPS

From this it may be assumed that beer dealerships will be sold around the country Just like the various cola deal-erahips are sold now. Each dealer will get supplies of beer eynip and bottis or ean it to Ms local ptent. Ths beer that

made Utica, N.Y., famous may some day be reconstituted at Uvalde, Tex.

The Philly Fed report, written by Lawrence C. Murdoch, Jr.. also pointed out:

The Magna Carta mentioned beer often and so did Charit-magne often. King Henry Vin was reputed to have consumed a gallon of ale for breakfast every day. Christo* pher Columbus used part of the Queens jewelry to buy beer for his voyages to the New World. Over a century later. the Mayflower chose to land at Plymouth Rock because, as a passanger said, Our victuals were much spente especially our beere.

However, per capita consumption of beer and ale to ths United States has trended down since 1950. . .Dollar sales of beer and ale have Increas e d about 40 per cent over the last 14 years, while sales of all consumer goods and services Increased more than 90 per cent . . .It Is likely that a sizable majority of the American consuming public has difficulty distinguishing one brand of the pervasive larger beer from another.

When there Is a poorly (iif-

ferentlated product the com-petlon tends to bo keen, even savage and cannlbaliatic. The sameness in beer extends to Its advertltitag, it seems.
