It will be impossible, of course, fop United Fund officials to contact all the people in the county, or even a large number of them, Within few days. Officials, have expressed the hope, therefore, that residents of the county will mall their contributions directly to the Pitt United Fund office in Greenville.

Meeting the United Fund goal should be a matter of personal importance for every citizen in this country. It is a program In which each citizen should want to participate with his fair-share contribution.

The people of this county need the activities of the various organizations which must receive their financial supi^ through the United Fund. And the United Fund must look to the people for contributions to make these funds available.

Battle

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES

MILK - The sUtei mlU producers are back b^ort the State Milk Commissl< with renewed demands lor suthority to market raw mUk through a farmer-ow'ned cooperative.

This is another round In a struggle which has been going on in the states dairy industry for yeiTS. In fact, it is the second series of public hearings on the producers requests In less than a year.

Only laat aummer the milk commission refused to relin-quteh its regulation and control over tiie flow of milk from farms to dealers and plants.

Now, however, the producers group may be prepared to follow up its requests with legal action in the courts if necessary. The present hearing in Raldgh are concerned largely with legal aspects of the producers case.

WILLIAM

right to divert members milk from any plant, to the extent that such milk exceeds the plant's requirements plus a 10 per cent resee, without penalty to the member.

Givkig the AssoClatlOD

unequivocable right to require a distributor to m a k e payment for a members milk directly to the Association.

HIRES

RECOGNiiiO* - Basically, the farmer - owned and operated coop contends the changes it wants In milk marketing agreements, orders and regulations are in the public

interest.-1--

It maintains that the requested Chang ?s are needed to give proper recognition to p r o-ducers in the marketing of milk.

Producers are merely requesting that the Milk Commission amend its regulations to allow- them to improve their market through operation of the cooperative) Association, ays Ben P. Morgan Jr.. general manager of the co-op. Southeast Milk Sales Assn. Inc.

The producer viewpoint, expressed by Morgan in the hearings, is that the producers have very little control over the marketing of their milk under the present Commission regulations.

Dr. Leland Spencer. Cornell University dairy marketing specialist testifying for the cooperative, said the opportunities for a cooperative to direct and redirect the flow of milk from its members farms to dealers and plants is highly desirable from the standpoint of liberating producers fr^ dealer domination.

Dr. Spencer described the present milk marketing s y s-tem In North Carolina as archaic and in need of modernizing.

CHANGES The changes in the milk commissions milk marketing orders sought by the producer cooperative are basically these:

Giving the cooperative authority to exercise base rights of Its members with each North Carolina distributor at which members deliver milk. Giving the cooperative the

changes.

FAIR At the outMt ' Of the latest hearings, the Milk Commission stresses Ita Intention to be fair to all. Commission officials denied accusations that the comml-slon has been partial particular segment of dustry.

That Is not true, a commission spokesman said. Nothing could be further from the truth. ^

The commission promised full and impartial hear inga. We have no idea how long the hearings will last, executive secretary J. V. Whitaker said.

VETO A further obeerva-tion on the fact that governors of North Carolina lack veto power is offered by a veteran state official. State Treasurer Edwin Gill.

Without arguing the veto case pro or con, Gill contends that lack of executive veto prwer has had the result of the General Assembly having a higher sense of responsibility than might be the case otherwise.

He feels that this effect may be overlooked in general discussion of the matter of veto power. But by and large, and in session after session he says, the North Carolina legislature has shown a high degree of responsibility in enacting laws.

In other states. GUI says, legislatures may pass bad leglsiaUon knowing full well that It will not become law, Here in North Carolina the legislature has the sobering fact before it that any bill passed and signed by its presiding officers become law.

FINAL Our General Assembly cannot pass tbe buck. Gill says. Its members know full weU that what they do is it. The governor may recommend and make his wishes known, but the General Assembly knows that whatever It enacts becomes the law of the land and that the governor. under his oath, has no alternative but to execute it. North Carolina is the only state in the union which does not give its chief executive the constitutional power of veto over legislation.

As a result, the North Carolina General Assembly is regarded as one of the nations most powerful lawmaking bodies.

Realization of this power amd the responsibility which goes with it results generally in careful, thorough study and consideration. GUI says, and may be one reason why the legislature does not act as quickly and precipitously as some would like.

An Advocate Of Court Restrain

By JAMES MARLOW

WASHINGTON lAPJ For 23 years Felix Frankfurter was a completely dedicated Justice of the Supreme Court.

He stuck rigidly to what he called judicial restraint at a time when the court under Chief Justice Earl Warren was moving toward a greater participation in American problems and a wUllngness to assure responsibility ki solving them.

Frankfurter, who died Mwi-day at 82, urged deference to the wishes of Congress and state legislatures, on the theory the people eventually would pressure them into doing what was needed, even though they had avoided what was needed for years.

'Two vdews. Frankfurters and Warrens, and two opposition positions of these men tell the story:

JAMES

By the time he left the court years ago. Uberals looked upon him as a eonservat 1 v e. and he was then compar e d with some of the other Justices.

There was another contradiction In his life. He was man with many friends, well beloved, and a delightful conversationalist, as a recording of his conversation in a book. Felix Frankfurter Reminisces, shows. But ss a writer of legal opinions he was long winded and complex.

He was a lively man, an emotional one and a great questioner, heckler and lecturer of lawyers before the court, so much so that he sometimes got on the nerves of the other Justices.

But this cannot obscura Frankfurters concern for justice. He was with the majority of the court ki the civil rights decisiwis and he was concerned for Justice to individuals although he sometimea let abstractions get in his way.

MARLOW

In 1962 the court ruled, 6 to 2, that apportionment of seats in state legislatures to give voters a fairer representation was subject to the scrutiny of federal courts.

For over half a century some legislatures had declined to reapportion themselves even through their state constitutions called for such action every 10 years.

Back in the 1940s Frankfurter had urged the court to stay out of such a political thicket, and when it did step In in 1962. rtill opposing it, he said: In a democratic society like ours, relief must come through an aroused popular conscience that sears the con-sciencs of the peoples representatives.

This Ignored the reality that in some situations politicians in power can ignore the people.

Warren, who was with the majority in calling for reapportionment, had given an answer to Frankfurters kind of reasoning in an article in Fortune magazine in 1935:

Our Judges are not monks or scientists but participants in the living stream of our national life, steering the law between the dangers of rigidity on the one hand and of formlessness on the other.

Our system faces no theoretical dilemma but a single continuous problem: how to apply to ever changing conditions the never changing principles of freedom.

It wa.s the greatest irony of Frankfurters life that when President Franklin D. Roosevelt put him on the court in the New Deal days of 1939 he was not only a hero to liberals but was denounced as a Red by the far right. .

(The Wilson Times)

The sub-committee hearings on the acreage-poundage bill have been completed, so what comes next? The Agricultural committee of the House and the Senate could meet this week and begin to hammer-out the bill. The inf(mnation from the sub-committee hearings is available and this will be used in the writing of the bill on which the farmers will vote.

And there is time to get the bill through Congress for this years crop. There may be adjustments in the individual farm quotas. The present bill calls for individual farm quotas up to 70 per cent of a countys five-year average and not exceeding 130 per cent. The adjustment is likely to come in the minimum allowed the farmer, for some farms do not reach the average county quo-U.

The farmer who is allowed 130 per cent of a countys five-year average certainly should not complain. In Wilson county the five-year average will be approximately 2012 pounds per acre.

The reason for the change in the tobacco program from the strict acreage control plan to acreage-poundage Is to raise the tobacco the trade desires. You hear of increasing our foreign trade, well this is not possible without raising quality, and when the quality is raised exports will increase. And this is not an over aimpUcatlon of

the situation.

Now what of all the opposition you read about, to the program? It may not be as serious as pictured. To begin with the majority of Virginia and North Carolina tobacco farmers are said to favor an acreage-poundage control bill. And these make up approximately 75 per cent of tht tobacco growing farmers.

The opposition in South Carolina is thought to be divided about half and half, with possibly more favoring an acreage-poundage bill than opposing. From the news accounts there Is opposition in Georgia and Flori(la.

From what we can learn every effort is to be made to get a bill ready to be voted on by the farmers in time for this years crop. John D. Palmer, head of Tobacco Associates, Inc., is optimistic. He feels that when the farmers go Into the booth to vote they will support the plan.

The farmers realize the present acreage control system is not decreasing poundage. Why lose another year toward correcting growing practices for a commodity that means as much to the economy of this section as does tobacco?

We do not think the farmers will, but vote to get about the business of raising tobacco under the new acreagc-pound age plan.

Possibly the most Important chapter in the history of tobacco will be written in the next few weeks.

Brooding over the short memory of the people, Tom Dodd decided that it was time to emphasize what ha considera to be the continuity of good Democratic Party doctrine going back to Harry Trumana first foreign policy decisions. He knows that not all hia brother Demcrata In the Senata atm hold to the Truman poll-ey. Morse of Oregon, Oruenlng of Alaaka, Pulbrlght of Arkan-saa, have all sidled away from the Tnunan Doctrine tradition. So it was time for a roufing speech, even at the risk of disrupting the hopea for Democratic harmony in the Senate and a possible LBJ party consensus on foreign policy matters.

A Dodd speech la scheduled as this column is being written. I havent seen an advance copy of it. but I understand that Dodd wm break new ground by proposing a vast intensification of political warfare in conjunction with continuing aid to the South Vietnamese in their fight against the Communist Viet Cong. What has impressed Dodd, in bis journeys to Africa and pth-,er threatres of Cold War guer-rUla fighting, is the adept use the Cnmunl DMdic of slogans. The slogans are carefully constructed to take advantage of the basic desires of people.

In Vietnam the Communists pose as the prospective unifiers of the country. This stirs something in the hearts of all the Vietnamese, even the North Vietnamese who have fled to the South. So whit Dodd proposes is that the U.S. back a united Vietnam, on free terms, with a political warfare campaign designed to pub-UcJze it to the utmost. He would also have the U.S. support a Taiwan-type land reform program for Vietnam, making limited amounts of acreage available to peasants under easy purchase toerms. Land for the peasant could, he thinks, be dramatized In such a way that the phony free land program <rf t h e Communists, which eventually leads to the slavery of the commune, would be exposed for the lie that it is.

As a third point in his suggested program, Dodd would have the U.S. see to it that every South Vietnamese military officer should get good political war training as part of his education. There are ten or twelve men in Washington. 80 Dodd insists, who have had a great depth of experience in Vietnam, and who could be counted on to communicate with thousands of people, from the Buddhists to the CathollcsL if they,were only sent back to Saigon and made available to General Maxwell Taylor. These men could do the groundwork in preparing for sound political war training to beat the Communists at their own subtle games.
