> *y WILLIAM A. SHIRES COSJ - An Increasing toll of lives lost.Jnjuries nd property damage on the streets and highways is being reflected in higher costs of automobile liability insurance for every motorist in North Carolina.

Insurance companies put Into effect this w'eek liability rate increases averaging near ly 10 per cen for bodily injury and prw)erty damage coverage.

This alone will cost the average North Carolina pollcy-. holder $4."0 more a year and " the pinch on the policyholder's pocketbook Is very likely to get worse.

There Is clear Indication that even higher auto liability Insurance costs may be necessary later. The immediate rate increases are the result of loss experience by the companies for the years 1960-61. This is 1965 and the traffic accident rate has been splraling upward alarmingly.

FACTORS There are various factors involved in insurance rate making procedures and in consideration of proposed rate Increases. In most cases, including the present situation, statistical data and loss experience on which rates are based is not current.

For example, liability rates which were In effect in t h e state in 1964 were based on loss experience and statistics from 1958-59.

During the period 1958-1963, the number of private passenger autoi oblles registered in the state increased by 25.4 per cent. The number of passenger cars involved in accidents Increased by 43.4 per cent, and

jojaerations and for capital improvements. Even with stcp-by-step in successive sessions of the legislature, ta.comfortable surplus at the end of the current each step is highly complicated, usually contro-' \ versial, and invariably difficult to transforrri from

a proposal into law.

The legislature will also find itself concerned with furth^implementation of the quality education program initiated during the four years of the Sanford administration. It will be no .small matter for the legislature to chart the course for enhancing education in North Carolina at its various levels during the next two years.

What to do about highw^ construction is another matter that will have priority in legislative thinking. Puring the gubernatorial campaigns and .since, there appears to have developed increasing support for another major road bond issue in North Carolina, financed under the existing tax structure. The 1965 legislature will determine whether this proposal is submitted to the people for their approval. or shelved for at least another two years.

The.se are but a few of the many matters Which will reqqiiire the attention of members of the 1965 General As.sembly. Even though the session is largely harmonious, it will not be without its spots of conscientious conflict and controversy. And even though the session may move swu'ftly, the legislature faces many difficult tasks that mu.st be accomplished between the time it convenes and the time the final gavel signals adjournment.

the number of persons killed or injured Increased by 95.8 per cent.

The medical care portion of the consumer price index for 1962 was 14.1 per cent higher than in 1958. In addition, costs of automotive parts, repairs and labor increased correspondingly and all these have a definite bearing on settlements and bodily injury and property damage insurance claims.

SAFETY - This, in the mind of -*tate Insurance Commissioner Edwin S. Lanier, boils down to one thing a direct relationship bet w e e | highway safety and auto insurance costs.

In allowing the recently approved rate increases Lanier said he was "compelled to point out that the public must face, if it will, that wishing for safety i the highw'ays is one thing, and paying the prices for such safety is another

thing.

Also, ^blic should face up to the tt, if it will, that individuals driving habits and attitudes laigcly detenu i n e both highway safety and the ultimate cost of automobile liability Insurance."

Lanier pointed a linger at careless drivers, drinking drivers and drivers of cars with defective equipment. Th e s e drivers, he said, 'determine^ in part, the premium rates which the public safe drivers ~^nd unsafe drivers has to pay for automobile liability Insurance,*

PHRASE A catch phrase, an oratorical flourish intended to lend emphasis and reflect the tone of Gov. Dan K. Moores inauguial addi-ess on Jan. 8 apparently didn't.

But It may be used again, and Moore reportedly hopes It will catch on.

It was contained In a single paragraph near the end of the 1.800 word address Moore's description of his vision of North Carolina as a "great and good community."

This particular phrase was largely overlooked in press reports and editorial commejit on the speech and consequently received little public attention.

Nevertheless It is a phrase which Moore is lively to repeat and refer to frequently in later messages and addresses because it mirrors his philosophy about North Carolina and its people.

CONCEF^ Moore feels this Is ? dose - knit state, with "" its people bound with ' common ties, hopes, aspirations and way of life, and It was a phrase he used to describe what he feels North Carolina is. rather than what it might be.

To me, he said, "North Carolina Is a great and good community one giant neighborhood extending from t h e mountains to the sea. Such a community represents the hopes, the dreams, the aspirations of all our people. He added that "this concept of a great and good community is not mine alone. It comes to me from the hearts of the people themselves, the people with w'hom I have talked and whose voices I have heard."

PARALLEL It is expected that there will be parallels drawn between Moore s phrase, "great and good community. and such phrases as President Johnsons view of a * great society. and that of Gov. Te j Sanford to move North Carolina "into the mainstream.

At the sai ie time, those who called attention to Moo re's phrase felt that there Is a divergence, a difference in emphasis, in the meaning of these phrases.

It will be up to Moore as It was to Sanford and to President Johnson to fill in the details of the intended meaning, by expressing Ideas and pushing specific programs geared to the philosophy of a phrase.

Announcement of Dean Burchs foi*thcoming By ART BUCHWALD resignation f.s Republican National Chairman marks a major move by the GOP back to its middle-of-the-road position and away from the Goldwater conservatism that was its banner during the recent presidential campaign.

The change also represents a reassertion of the power of the moderates within the Republican organization, and at least superficially an effort by both the conservative Goldwater wing and the more moderate w|ng of the party to bring about greater unity. '

For Sen. Goldwater it represents a considerable lessening of his leadership strength within the party. Less than a month' ago the Republican presidential candidate declared that a repudiation of Burch as chainnan would be a repudiation of conservative leadership. Burch himself declared a change in party chairman at this time would cost the party millions in both doUars and votes.

By working out a compromise on the chairmanship prior to the meeting of the national committee later this month, Goldwater forces have avoided a showdown. It has provided the GOP presidential candidate an opportunity to save face even in losing the chairman he named a few days^after his nomina-ion. (

How mu:h harmony the move will restore in the Republican party remains to be seen. At worst, however, for the Republicans, the move is bound to result in more unity than would have come at the end of a showdown battle for the chairmanship so

soon after the partys crushing defeat in November. V-yIii0i JljClilOrb OCly lily . .

Sen' Goldwqter Usefulness Of Wealth

Just as I was giving up all hope about being invited to the Presidential inauguration, I received a large 8xl0-inch envelope in the mail which said on it, "Inauguration Committee - Do Not Bend.

With hands trembling. I cut open the envelope and took out a gold engraved invitation which said, "The Inaugur a 1 Committee requests the honor of your presence to attend and participate in the inauguration of Lyndon Baines Johnson as President of the United States of America and Hubert Horatio Humphrey, as Vice-President of the United States of America on Wednesday, the Twentieth of January. One Thousand Nine Hundred and Sixty-Five in the- City of Washington.

Ill have to admit it. I started to bawl. The Presi dent hadnt forgotten me and all I had done to get him the nomination In Atlantic City.

When I composed myself. I called my wife and told her

we had been Invited to the Inauguration.

It was her turn to sob. "With all he has to do. she said, he remembered us.

We both chuckled and then she, said. Where are we sitting?

It doesnt say on the invitation, but I would guess in his box, maybe behind the Supreme Court Justices.

What should I wear? she said.

Go out and buy yourself a new suit. After all. it isnt every day we get invited to the inauguration of the President of the United States.

How will we get there? "The White House will probably send a car, but if they dont, weU hire a limousine. My fur Is so dowdy, she said.

So get a new fur coat. We'll probably be on television most of the time and I want you to look nice.

It .seems like a dream. she said.

WASHINGTON <AP) - Dean Burchs decision to quit as chairman of the Republican National Committee April 1 is a major defeat for former Sen. Barry Goldwater. But It made some other things clear, too.

Goldwaterites will not run the Republican party; Goldwater Is definitely not its leader any longer; Republican governors, and former President Dwight D. Eisenhower and former Vice Pre.sident Richard M. Nixon charted the road for Burchs exit.

Many if not most Republicans would have felt Goldwater controlled the pariy chairman so long as the 37-yrar-old Burch remained as chairman. He had been' the senators loi^aj lleuten-antTfbr years and had been handpicked by him a.s party chairman for a four-year term.

After his dLsastrous defeat by President John.son last Novcm-l)fr Goldwater said he didn't caisider himself the party leader but nevcrtheles.s he put his position of Influence in the party on the line by his defen.se of Burch.

First he defied the Republicans who wanted to get rid ot Burch, "They are not going to throw Burch out, he .said. Burch could have been retained or fired by the 132-man National Committee which meets in Chicago Jan. 22-23.

But Goldjnater wcJit further, clearly making hlm.self. not Burch, the main issue in the fight over the chairmanship He .said the firing of Burch would be a " repudiatloti of me,

The cries of Burch mu.st go began .shortly after the November ejection. Burch didnt accept this and began to fight to retain hi.s job, at least to the extent of polling committee members to sec how much support he had.

His pro.spects began to dim by early December when Republican governors called for an overhaul of the Nation a 1 Committee and. without mentioning Burch by name, said the National CommiUee should adopt leadership which clearly represents a brpad vlevg of rc-publicanl.sm.

A number of the governors, but not all. said this was aimed at Burch. This was Dec. 5. Four days later Goldwater went to New York to confer with Eisen-hower and Nixon.

The three agreed Republican unity could be achieved if opposing factions gave a little ground, meaning if they were willing to compromise a bit on their differences.

Then Nixon talked to newsmen, We feel. he said, referring to Eisenhower, "and Sen. Goldw'ater agrees that the national chainnan mul, have broad-based support. This Is what the goveinors had said.

Nixon said unanimity was not necessary but a majority

Giving away money is itself an art, and in all the w'prld of the intellect no one bears a heavier responsibility than the patron. The beneiicences of the Ford Foundation have now reached the astonishing sum of $2.2 billion, an endlessly diverse Investment in scholarship and sculpture, public health and civil rights, and above all on education.

One of the uses of this vast philanthropy is to throw' attention to those subjects which , . .are transcendently important. The Foundations work in the slums of half a dozen American cities was the precedent for some of the most promi.sing aspects of the Federal poverty program. We must hope that, in the same fashion, the Foundations population research will provide a precedent for action among the men who command the even greater re.sources of governments. both here and abroad. Mr, ,.Heald, the presi

dent of the Foundation,' opens his new annual rfeport with .solemn words:

Since 1954, when the Ford Foundation made its first important grant in the field of population, the family of man has increased by 600 million people, the equivalent of the combined populations of the United States, all of South America, and the Soviet Union.

It has been less than 200 yeai-s since man tamed nature sufficiently to break the stalemate that, had imposed on him average life .span of between 25 and 35 years. It i.s now necessary to apply the same degree of dtliberate human effort to assuring that thi.s victory does riot rob mankind of the good life.

The Foundations population program is not vety large by Ford standards. But it has been substantially increased within the last year, an accurate gauge of the worlds ri.s-ing concern over the destruc-

The notice then went on to PK)int out that the events w'ere by ' separate invitation only and not to send a check unless you W'ere invited by somebody else.

Cubas C%e Guevara ia atiU calling for subveraion in Chile, but it begins to look as if country were going to solve Iti problems without making, any desperate turn to Castroism.

ittw biggest obstacle that the new^^^ean Christian Demo* * eratic fjpvemment of President* Eduardo Frel has had to sur** mount can be summed up In one word: copper. The local mines that produce this metal, which accounts for at least two* thirds ot Chiles foreign exchange, have been nominally owned by great foreign com-panies such as Anaconda and Kennecott. Paralyned for yeara by the threaU of expropriation and nationalization of their properties, the Anaconda and Kennecott companies had done practically nothing to expand

their Chilean production. The Braden property belonging to Kennecott in Chile is one of the richest sources of copper in the world, but with a local tax rate running to some eighty-five per cent of profits Kennecott had actually diverted Int necott had actually diverted Investment funds that might havo gone to cnille Into a renovap tion of western . S. mines that are much poorer in the quality of their ore.

Now, suddenly, the logjam is broken: Anaconda Cerro, and Kennecott have all worked out patterns that give Chile eq)i-al and even bette^ partnership in the mines, yet which avoid the shattering Impact on productivity which would have followed expropriation and nationalization. The Chil can parliament has still to ratify the deals, and the local Communists are yelling bloody murder to stop them. But It looks as though everything will be set before summer. Chile will be getting considerably more out of Its mines than the cheap copper ashtrays that have al-w'ays been as plenteous at paper cups in Its hotel rooms.

Each side. In the negotia-tioris leading up to the new agreements, has given up t big token of faLse pride to get the realities of more prof 11 for everybody concerned. Kennecott, for Instance, has agreed to transfer the business of its Braden subsidiary to a new Chilean corporation, the Sociedad Minera El Teniente. S. A. The C3illean govemm e n t gets a 51 per cent Interest In this new corporation, with Kennecott retaining 49 per cent. But Kennecott Is not making a free gift of its stockhold-er.s property to Chile. The company is to get 80 million dollars for the surrendered 51 per cent. But the C3iileans will be able to fund the payment out of their .share of the copper profits quite easily, for Kennecott has agreed to expand Braden production from 180.000 tons year to 280,000 tons.

It will take five years to complete th expansion. Mean-w'hile the total tax rate on Kennecott'5 Chilean earnings will be forty-four per cent or about half of what it is at pre.sent.

This Ls far more than a mere "business story, for it points up the calming influence that Pre.sident Johnsons Latin American policy coordinator, Thomas Mann, has had on the course of recent U. S . Latino relations, Thom a a Mann works behind the scenes, with no desire to ma.s.sage his own ego. He has gotten tremendous results everywhere ha has had the opportunity to work.

of one wa.sn't enough to prove Burch had broad backing. He said Burchs polks showed he had a backing of a majority on the committee.

Then Nixon said it was up to Goldwater and Burch to develop the broad-based support if they could.

Later in December Goldwater wrote the committee members to .say he would be glad to recommend Burchs replacement if It wou^ help unify the party and that he had never rejected any compromise.

But he added: "I cannot .see that the ou.jtPr of Mr. Burch would con.stltute a compromise. Instead, he said, he felt it would be a surrender by those Republlcan.s who had supported him.

3iq Year In Franchising Aheac.

By e:ijvie:r rok.ssner

This may be frauchksings bigge.st year so far. Reas o n s why:

1. Saving are high, enabling more individuals and families to be in position of financing franchised store.s. re.s-tauraots. and roadside stands.

2. The increases In highway mileage, numbers of auto.s and their greater use are bringing more customers to jpossible franchise establishmenj sites.

3. People have mor money to spend.

4. More big companies aie granting franchises, the r e b y giving ambltloiifi enterplj.ser;^ more confidence in the fran chise .system. This generally consists of giving the investor trademarks, know how. sour-cp.s of supplie.s and a.sskstance in getting started.

c . Franchising will be further i stimulated by the seventh .annual Start Yifur Own Buslne.ss Exposition in the New York Coliseum next month, when 0 franchising companies will offer franchises to the ambitious. .MORE TO COME

The International Franchi.se A.<Aoolatlon e.stlmates that 2.5.-000 more iranfchtscd establish

ments will be opened this yeai. About one third will offer food, one third other products and one third services.

How'ard John.son is generally conceded to be the largest food enfranchkser today. It has 700 units, half of them fran-chksed, and sells about $210 million in meals and ice cream a year. Gose behind ks ARA Service, funiishing food ki colleges and other institutions, at sales of $180 million, and McDonalds System, with 611. establishments, all franchised, selling $114 million in hamburgers a year.

Interstate United has l.lIK) units providing in - plant feeding with sale.s of $85 million a year. Other leaders, with number of units, are Sheraton-restaurants, 130; Hilton re.stati-rauts, 94; Hot Shoppe.s. 116; Autotbatic Canteen, Frisch's restaurants, 185 with 145 franchised; Burger (Jhef System. 294; -C^hlcken Delight, .5.52: Commissary Corp.. 2.'>4. and Dimkhi Donuts. 200, almost, all franchl.sed, EVERYBODY GETS INTO ACT

Other companies starting or expanding franchise operations

include S.C. Johnson & Son, Pet Milk. Sw'ift, Olln - Mathie-son. Woolworth. and Greyhound Food.

The impulse to be ones own bo.s.s is the grcatc.st force for creating franchise applicants. But that may not be enough. Robert Rosenberg, pre.sident of Duukin Donuts, avoids giving franchises to:

1. College graduates, especially those married to college graduates. (Their wives demand too much attention, he said.*

2, Men who work the 5-day,

ELMER

^ ROESSNER

40-hour week.

3. Men'who have Changed jobs frequently.

On the other hand, on the advice of Harvard p.sycholo-gkslfi, he favors:

I. People who want to move

up the ladder to better social and economic positions, such as taxi drivers, clerks, factory workers, enlisted men.

2. 'ho.se who started w'ork early and .who are u.sed to hard w'ork and long liours.

3. People who are unable to complete their education.

Rosenbc'ig take.s advice from Harvard graduates but w'ould be reluctant to give them franchises.

As written here before: while franchising niav be the way to indcpendetice for many people, no one should .sign a franchising agreement without the advice of his lawyer. He cannot only see the flaw.s in such a contract, but he may also be able to see flaws In the personality of the would - be franchise bu.ver..
