Little Choice For Tobacco Areas

Tll Your forottry SonHco Boforo Burning On A Fiold

Flue-cured tobeeco producing states have little choice but to make every possible effort to get a poundage-acreage control program approved py Congress in time for the 1965 crop.

Obviously time is short. Obviously there may be snags, particularly with many members of Congress oriented toward urban rather than rural areas. Surely the federal program against smoking, now increasing in intensity, will put an extra obstacle in the way of changes in the tobacco program. The question of whether farmers will give their approval to such changes even if they are

REQUESTS The State

Board of Higher Education has presented urgent* requests to the 1966 legislature for a lecord $231.10135V(m) in biennial appropriations.

This is the grand total recommended in 1965-67 state ap-in-opriatlons for all purposes for the 15 state supported in-stituUons of higher teaming under budgetary jurisdiction of the Board d Higher Educan tion.

The totals were disclosed publicly fw the first time today in the fifth biennial report of the board. This report waa^ transmitted to Gov. Dan K. Moore a few days ago.

It summarises requests of the individual institutions and their related divisions and presents detailed explanations of Its urgent and most urgent recommendations.

Yet to be disclosed are the budget recommendations fox higher educgtiw by the Advisory Budget Commission, and those of Gov. Moore himself. However, sources have indicat* ed the Advisory Budget Commission probably dealt generously with these requests.

COSTLY Moore also has pledged that the state will move forward In education. In his inaugural address! he said heartening as our educational progress has been, we must not be complacent*. Much more remains to be done, . .

In Its report, the Board of Higher'Education stressts that carrying out this iidedge will be costly.

Accelerating demands for both quantity and quality In higher education will require financial support on a new scale. it said.'

North Carolina now has the legal framework for an adequate, coordinated system of higher education; but we cannot build upon the framework without sufficient funds.

It called adequate financial support a critical imperative.

ASKINO The boards requests for combined *'A and B budgets totated $141,031,-398 for the two years, and it asked capital iznprovtmes t a appropiMons of I83.070A54.

For capital improvements *moit urgently requested and reconimendcd by the board, the cost would be $109.K7,^, But some $10.9 mUlion would be lelf-li^ldatlng projects. $4 million would c(ns from federal funds and $11.6 million from other sources.

The board recmnmanded that authorizatUnis of and appropriations for capital improvements be made in order of

priority set up by each Institution. It suggested a reserve fund of $8 mllUon to provide matching funds for fed e r a 1 grants.

RECOMMEND The bo^ * recommended that total A budget requests of the various institutions be appropriated. These total $55.953.399 for 1965-66 and $58.656.182 for 1966-67 representing Increases of 10 per cent and 15.3 per cent respectively. '

It noted that comparable Increases In projected enrollments for these years are nlnf per cent and 16 per cent.

Percentagewise, the increases in combined A and B budget requests over ai^ propriations for 1964-65 are 39 per cent for 1965-67 and 52 per cent for 1966-67.

Major items recommend e d In B budget requests, those for expansion of present services and new programs, were apiflXMclnuUely $9 jnillion for faculty salary enrichment and nearly $4 million for libraries.

The board recommended a 15 per cent escalation formula for faculty ealaries, with Vk per cent increases in each year <rf the biennium funds State Democratic headquartera is saying it hopes proceeds of the 1965 Jefferson - Jadtson Day dinner will cover a $30,000 deficit incurred by the state party during the 1964 election campaign.

If 60. state party officials may be planning to withhold amounts which they claim were not reimbursed by national party campaign headquarters despite promises of reimbursement. These expenses included some fairly heavy Items in connection with President Johnsons visit to Raleigh for a campaign speech and appearance with his wife at Reynolds Cdiseum. There were other items.

In the past, most of the jKTOceeds Ircwn sale of $50-a-plate Jefferson - Jackson Day dinners have gone to the national party war chest. Although put on by the state party, the affair technically 1 sponsored by the national committee and directed by the national committeeman and com-roltteewoman.

The gmroal Vanee-Aycock dinner in Asheville, which was started to 1961. Is the prlncl-pal fund - raising function for state party coffers.

O f

approved by Congress may also be a deterrent to quick congressional action.-

Even in the face of these odds, however, tobacco producing areas, with their Congressmen taking the lead, must make the effort to gain Congressional approval for changing the program.

Those familiar with the tobacco industry recognize that over-production is one of the keys to the problems that have beset the industry in recent years. If that problem can be solved quickly, steps may be taken to meet the other problems

effectively in turn.

It is also recognized that acreage controls alone have not in the past provided effective control of production. There is. little reason to believe that acreage allotments 'will in the future provide the degree of production control that is needed.

The kind of acreage-poundage control program being called for by the, ..Tobacco Advisory Committee of the Department ol.-Agriculture offers a sound stai-ting point for bringing into being a better production control program. If it can-be made effective for the 1965 crop, tobacco producing areas will have gained a valuable extra year in the effort to bring production in line wit hdmand.

The matter is of sufficient importance to the tobacco producing areas and to the tobacco industry as a whole to justify an all-out effort even in the face of discouraging oddi.

All advertising copy must be received at least one day before iniblieatlon date. .

The assei-tion by Gov. Dan Moore that he will not tolerate lawlessness anywhere in this state is one which deserves the open and active support of every North Carolinian.

His statement came on the heels of dynamitings St New Bern that damaged automobiles of two officials of the NAACP, and the business building of another member of the organization.

Those who resort to such lawlessness to vent their hatred are serving neither themselves, their state, nor their cause. Gov. Moore has made it clear by his statement, by ordering the SBI into the case and by offering the assistance of the highway natrol, that he does not intend for such things to hanoen during.' his administration. If they doas fn the case at New Bernhe will use every means at his disposal to see that those responsible for such arts are brought to justice.

Certainly Gov. Moore deserves the commendation of every law abiding citizen of the state for the position he has taken. Although North Carolina has experienced some unpleasant incidents in its race relations in the past few years, the state has shown that lawlessness will not be tolerated. Gov. Moore has made it clear that this continues to be the policy of North Carolina and that the policy will be pursued with all the vigor at the disposal of the governors office.

News from Venesuela Is that the local stevtdorfs have callad upon tbelr fellow dock work-grs to Panama, Puerto Rico, and the United State* to boyoott all the atope of any oountiy trading with Castros Cuba. Atthoofb the eontemplat-ed boyoott would interfere with the alxty mlUton pound sterl-tog worito of o which Britain takes out of Venesuela In a year, lbot Praaident Martin correa oonsktera the aituatlon ufflclently deeperate to Juatlfy it. Correa roentiona the fact that Cuba haa become the privileged aanetuary of the Cas-troite guerrilla Infiltration of the whole South American continent. He ia resolved to stop the flow of agents and guns ^ross the Caribbean,

Whether Martin Correa can su(xsefsfuUy go up against the power of the stin formidable British lion is a question. But If someone doesnt stc^ Castro this year, he could be off the hook forever. Paul Bethel of the Citizens Committee for a Free Cuba aaya that the prospects for a bountiful Cuban sugar crop to 1965 are excellent. The rains have been good; the attempts of the dis-courage(i anti-Castro under-ground to bum the cane and to sabotage the mills have come recently to very little; and Castro has been perfect- tog his methods of turning out students and city people under forced labor levies to do the cane cutting. All of this could ultimately mean a quite sufficient amount of foreign exchange to Castro's pocket, no matter whether his sugar sells for nuich or little per pound.

3affle Season

Pitt Couj^ans must barely remember the snow storm of two weeks ago, what with the near spring like weather that has prevailed here recently.

But theyre still having winter in Pennsylvania. A schoolteacher there'wrote her friend at ECC this note:

We had planned an ice skating party for last night but had to cancel out for weak ice on the ponds when temperatures rose to the aftemoai. But last night It got cohter again and we had sleet. Today we can have our party on the sidewalk no school!

Sam Miller, who is worktog on special assignment, picked up an essay written by a Win-tervUle High School student to the deep dark past.

It ctmcerned the history of the st^bool and a portion of it went thusly:

Early In the history of the Neuse Baptist Association, several of its leading members saw the need of a high school in this section of the state, where girls and boys might have the best training, at the least possible expense.

rOTON (AP) This Is the baffle season when the taxpayer, if he ha* interest and energy enough, can trudge through that wilderness called the Presidents budget.

This is the one area of government above all where the taxpayer, who has to foot the bill, can understand the least even though Its all laid out for him to a huge volume full vast detail and dollars sign*.

President Johnson presented his budget Monday saying it will cost $99.7 billion to run the government another year after working on It for months to keep expec ted spending down, particularly below $100 billion.

To show how much of an economizer he is, he said government departments and agencies Mked for a bottom figure of$108.5 billion. But how are you gotog to tell whether the- $99.7 billion he asked is -too mueh or too Uttie?

You may have very strong opinions about the principle of foreign aid or federal aid to education or medical care for the aged but here you can base your opinicm on social attitudes or unexamtoed prejudices.

But you dont have the comfort of prejudice in examining the arithmetic of the budget. You dont know enough about what youre looking at.

The budget, a bunch of figures covering every facet of government, is put together by people who are supposed to know the most about the problems the money is Intended to solve: the heads of departments and agencies.

An outsider may shudder at the size of Johnson's $99.7 . billion request or, at this time of growing population and rising needs, feel Johnson was a magician In keeping costs below $100 bllUon at aU.

But either conclusion is an

opinion without true knowledge. For how, for instance, can an outsider know whether the $49 billion Johnson asked for defense, with all that Involr ves, Is too ample or too thin?

The politicians are no l^lp. As was expected, they sound like a re-run of themselves from last year and the year before since their react ions are predictable, depending on the party of the one doing the talking.

the Republicans were customarily critical Monday, particularly 9 what they called bookkeeping manipulation. and they complained about the same old sleight of hand.

The Democrats were kinder, naturally, and to nobodys surprise the House Democratic leader, Carl Albert of Oklahoma, said that by every realistic test the budget is fiscally sound beyond any doubt.

Serving The Average

(Greensboro Daily News)

We particularly liked one line in Governor Sanfords weekend interview with Associated Press Staff Writer Ambrose B. Dudley on the aims and accomplishments of his administration. .

With reference to-education. we the Governor has made the major goal of his multipurpose program, the chief executive declared; We started with the average' child, and you know that is where most of them

But this hardly came, under the heading of news since Albert, aa the Democrats House captitin, has to work hand-in-glove ^th Johnson all year. In politics $100 bllUon Is taking on the ' appearance of a dirty word tod the Republicana House leader, Gerald R. Ford of Michigan, aaid he had ome suapicion that, to keep the spending total under Sloo billion, they are overestimating revenues and underestimating expenses.

In 1962 President John F. Kennedys budget was $92.5 (Continued on Page 5)

That fwas the take-off. But let it be noted that the ll-anced program which evolved ranged all the way from betterment of the lot of the men-. tally retarded to cultivation of the fine arts and eduatlon at its highest, or doctorate, level.

But the great mass approach, really to .lift the state and Its human resources, had to recognize the average. Here is where higher teacher pay, improvement of the public achool system, development of the community colleges and industrial training centers or institutes came in. North Carolinas children, young people and even adults are getting a better chance than they ever, had to obtain which ia best suited to them and to their civic and economic betterment. And the state as a whole U the gainer, as it raisea its

living standards and Increases its ability to pay for that which is so largely providing iti dividends.

The average student " brings us back, however, to a^ surance of opportunity beyond the high school level for these students who arefinding it increasingly dlfficlt to get Into many of our colleges and universities. Not all boys and girls can be geniuses. We cannot educate everybody who goes to college to be a teacher or a researcher, however essential theyare to progress ^ and advancement.

It Is largely the/average . students who go back to their , respective communities to be-^ come solid, functioning citl*' zens, the men who operate or work In our industries and businesses, serve on city councils, juries, boards of county commissioners, church boards, legislative positions and to all the activities which go to make up a full, rich and_ enduring community life '

There Is no disposition to level down, but rather to level up, to recognize the role of the average North "Carolinian and American and to prepare him to fill it to the best of his ability and potentiality, The starting point which Governor Sanford cites needs to be given continuing emphasis In the entire program of follow-through.

The chief returned that call: I cant inderstand a single word bold the mike further away and dont shout.

The foreign exchange Is needed to keep the U. S. blockade from succeeding. Despite the opthnlstic statements of t h e State Department, this country has had no success whatever to stopping British, French, Span^h, Japanese, Italian, Canadian and Mexican trade with Havana. But. quite rea-, sonaWy?-these countries want to be paid for what they send to Castro. A good sugar crop would provide the money for a continued flow of Lei a n d busses from England, locomotives and fertilizer from Pance. rock crushers and cement plants frwn Sweden, slDc stockings and radios from the Fabrique Nacional of Belgium, and spare General Motors parts shipped by clever middlemen from Mexico.

Of course, we can learn to like our work. Many a person has started In a variety of work which he abhorred. Circumstances have forced him to take the first jbb. he could get, and it was the kind of work which above all work he detested. Sometimes because (rf such circumstances a man has to leave his Joii^and find more eongenial activity. But times without number inen

have found that if they threw themselves Into what appeared to be a detestable job. it became at first tolerable and at last quite fascinating.

But whether we alway^ like our work or com* at last to like It, like it we must If we are going to be successful In It. The man who will never" mike an outstanding success at anything Is the man who likes ont thing about as well as another and no ont thing with onsumink passion. In a world full of need* to be met by strong men, there Is no such thing as dignified types of work. All work is dignified, if done by a man who has true dignity of soul, w^o addresses hlm/ielf )o the tsk at hand with all that he haa to him, and with cheerfulness oi heart.

Americas work force, already highly mobile, is getting ad-ditiooal encouragement from the government to pick up and go when opportunity knoctoi. Broader federal tax benefits for employees moving their homes for Job reasons are. described in Prentice - Hafls Executive Tax Report.

The Treasury Departm e n t has even prcytered a special new form, Schedule 3903, to show the taxpayer step - bystep how to claim moving expense benefits. This puts Job-'connected moving on a par with capital gains and losses, self - employment taxes, supplemental and retirement Income. and other tax matters which rate their oWn supplemental forma.

New as well as old employees now can claim reasonable deducUena for moving. Old has nothing to do with . the workers age. It refers to workers already with the company who are transferred by their emplojrer to another 'ity or shifted to another plant

and who must move their* homes to a new location.

New refers to work e r s who move their home in taking a new job.

NEW RULES

Under earlier rules, an old employee could exclude from his Income money his company paid to reimburse him tor a move. The'new regulation* now permit claiming expenses which were not reimbursed. And, if the employee ia partly reimbursed, he can deduct the unrelmbursed amount.

A new- employee must stlU ^ Include Income ' rel.mburso-ments under the nrv rul But his entire moving cost -reimbursed or not will not

be deductible. Moreover, the deduction is taken oo the tax form to arrivtag at adjusted gross income so that both It and the standard deduction can be claimed.

Other movtof expenses, in addition to the actual transfer of household goods and personal expensea, are permitted under the latest rules. Packing, crating and storage in transit are allowed. Auto expenses can be claimed by deducting a flat 10 cents a mile or by itemizing actual expenses gas. oil. toUa, etc.
