Sovit Cosmonauts/ Still Out Front

- /' . "tr' - -: -- T

' The Soviet Union's most recent apace feat can only be ranked as another first for that nation in ita race with the United States for the moon.

And to say that there is no moon race between the two piajor nations ipvould be to ignore the

facts. -v. ^

Russian cosmonauts have agam^ done what Americans have yet to do. Notonlj^ did two Soviet space men orbit the earth at least 17 .times, but one of them became the first human to venture out into the vastness of spacp<^'

Some may arguVthat for a man to le^pe his space vehicle is relatively mino ment compared to putting the capsule in space in the first place. Still the Soviets did it first. Whats more they had television pictures relayed from the caP'^ule for all the world to see. And all will admit that the experiment was necessary to prove that man could be free to work in space on such jobs as constructing space platforms, or even repairing his ship. \ '

Memo: Bloodmobile Wednesday, Thursday

li is clearly evident that Russia is still aiiead in space, even though the United States has closed

Believes Budge

the gap to some extent ynless our rate of progress is accelerated the Soviets stands good chance of reaching the moon first. ^

And why reach the moon? That is a difficult question to answer with our present day knowdege. We suspect, however, that scientific advancements in future years will provide the answer. There has been talk of building a space platforma way stationon the edge of space for interplanetary travel. ^

And yet the moon is already there, close to the earth as space distances go. It may well be that our space way stations will be developed on the moon in future years. The nation which gets there first woiild have a tremendous advantage in conquering the challenges of space.

'For better or woFse, adventurous mankind ha.s takeliion space as his challenge for the latter half of the 20th Century. As a leading nation, the United States must accept this challenge with all the vigor by which this nation was founded.

* Reaching the moon first may seem pointless to some. BuCis it not better to prove our leadership in this way than by fighting distructive wars?

Within Reach Municipalities Truly

WnXlAM A. 3HIRES

BUDGET ~ Gov. Dan K. Moore feels that his additional priorities Ixidget recommendations are sound, realistic and well within reach of the 1965 General Assembly.

He also feels that new estimates of resources that will be available to finance this expanded 1965-67 budget are on the conservative side even hinting that if necessary these may be raised a bit later.

Most legislative leaders agree generally with these views. Most wei*e pleased and heartened by the governors cautious, add-on budget approach and except for advocates of tax relief disappointments were few.

Several top legislative budget sources also pointed out that Moores program still falls short of solving all of t h e state's urgent money problem.

PRICE The price t a g Moore placed on his priori

ties for public school enrichment. 10 per cent across the-board pay Increased for state employes, indu^al '^^development centers and capital improvements was $72.492,302.

He reported new estimates of 1965-67 resources and disclosed

unfilled for swne time.

REACTION House Ap-propritlons chairman A. A., (Gus) Zollicoffer said he felt Moores budget report was very helpful but predicted that it will be necessary to find more than $4*^4 million."'

What concerns me is that weve been hearing so many urgent requests no included in the budget.'* SJollicoffer said. We're going to have to go as far as we can to meet these. ZoUicoffer was especially plea.sed with the additional $12 million to be made available for permanent, improvements, pushing the C budget total to $46.878.785. This, Zollicoffer said, is substantially more than the average for capital improvements voted by any recent legislature. "A great many people have been concerned as to what could be done for capital improvements, he said.

Sen. Thomas J. White Jr. Of Lenoir, Senate Appropriations, chairman, said he W'as very encouraged by Moore's bud-gret message and new revenue and availability reports. White, who was chairman of the Advisory Budget Commission,

noted that the governor did not tamper with nor break open SHIRES^ the earlier record budget which White said was a conservative budget.

I am especially pleas e d with his recommendation on capital improvements, White said. I've been very deeply concerned about our capital improvement needs particularly for our state ports and some of our state . supported colleges.

EXPECTED Many legislators had expected Moore might alter a number of items in the earlier budget submit-

Deserve Consideration

VIL^IAM

If North farolina is to adopt legislation that will set out lines of demarcation for electric^ distribution, there certainly should be consideration given the situation of municipalities which operate their own electric systems. Consideration must be given the traditional municipal right of franchise for such senice wjthin its legal boundaries.

For the legislature to adopt a new law on the basis of the private power-cooperative pact without regard to municipal systems or the interest of the municipalities and the public is like considering only two sides of a four-sided problem.

Gov. Moore took .steps to bring together representatives of the private power companies and the electric membership cooperatives to work out differences between them and end the running fight over territories. The resulting agreement in principle reached in January by the two electric power groups obviously does not meet the approval of the 70-odd municipalities which own and operate their own electric power systems.

After all, the electric power industry in North Carolina is made up of the ^Big Three, not jnst the, Big Two. The legislature would hardly adopt far-reaching laws in the field of electric distribution without considering the views of the private companies or the cooperatives. It should not consider enactment of a new Jaw in this field without considering the views of municipalities.

It i.s time for Gov. Moore to step into the power controversy again and seek to have the powder companies, the cooperatives and the municipalities reach accord on new legislation that could resolve the dispute that exists.

The other day the Canadian authorities refused to allow 80 wooden crates, which look e d like CtJ'tons of Brillo soap pads, Kelloggs cornflakes, and Motts apple juice, to go through customs as works of art. The cartons, painted by American pop artist Andy Warhol, werejipt, said the Canadians, works of art but merchandise, and subject to $4,000 duty.

I think the Canadians are all wet., A few^ days after the incident in Canada. I went down to the supermarket to buy some groceries for my wife. On the way home I stopped in at an art gallery where they were holding a pop art exhibit. Dnfortunately, the car

ton of groceries got heavy and I left them on the floor.

Then, being so moved by what I saw, I left the gaUery, and went home.

Where are the groceries? my wife demanded.

Oh. my gosh, I cried, I left them at the art gallery.

Well, youd better get them If you want any supper tonight J

I rushed back to the gallery, but I was too late. The groceries had been awarded first prize in the show.

Weve been looking all over for you, the gallery owner said. Why didnt you sign your work of ait?

Its not a work of art. Its my dinner for tonight.

The gallery roared with appreciative laughter. Hes not quly a great sculptor, but he lias humor as well, a judge

said. .....

You can see that in his work, another judge added. Notice how the bottle of

Heinz catsup is leaning against the can of Campbells pork and beans.

windfall for capital improvements totaling $68,217,705.

The difference of approximately $4,275,000 (m), Moore said, may be made up in economies in various Ixid get items, or in additional resources w'hich may become available later in this session.

Actually, the governo and his advisers feel this $4.3 million needed to balance the budget item - trimming and at more than accounted f o r through a combination of budget intern - trimming and at least slightly higher 1965-67 revenue estimates.

In this respect, each one per cent in reve.iue e.stimat i n g factor amounts to approximately $10 million.

The governor himself pointed out to newsmen, too. that the A budget recommendations arc based cn the presumptionthat ali amrthorize(t-state positions are filled, while the fact is that .some 2 000 .state jobs arc ui\flllcd and have been

Instead, Moore merely added to the Sanford budgets recommendations for pub 1 i c schools, inserted his pledged pay increase for state employes and $75,000 to establ i s h regional gra.ss roots industrial development offices Then he found the $12 million windfall in a revenue department reserve for paying state Income tax refunds.

Moore did. however, suggest that some altering might be done by the legislature but. except for one example, referred to this generally as eco-nninics. The one example he cited was the Community College progam.

White and Zollicoffer agreed that r-> - examination of t h e Community College program was a good idea.

I fcchsure that-the Appropriations Committee will h^d the governors suggestion about this. White .said.

(WRAL-TV, Raleigh)

Whether by design or by happenstance, a great many North Carolinians still are not fully aware that 8C miles east of Raleigh there is emerging one of the more remarkable educational institutions in the South. It seems only yesterday that Greenville was the home of a small but respectable teachers' college which leaders of both higher education and politics were content to treat as a sort of deserving but undemanding stepchild.

The years have passed rapidly since East Carolina Teachers College became East Carolina College. But they have been remarkable years because of a remarkable man. As president of East Carolina College. Dr. Leo Jenkins has already proved to the satisfaction of many that he is perhaps the most effective and aggressive administrator ever to serve the states efforts in higher education. ,

- This has not put Dr. Jenkins In the running for a popularity award among some of his fellow educators! He has dared to be different. He ha.s n oT shared the dream of some of his contemporaries that higher education should be a sort of STirwT colosstnr" begtrming Raleigh. Durham and Chapel Hill, running thence w'est to Greensboro and Charlotte. He has seen the need, and thus the opportunities, in the east, as

well.

And so. Dr. Jenkins has presumed to dream independent dreams and to work tow'ards their fulfillment. He put East Carolina College on the move, and then on the march. Muffled grumbling on other campuses has too often sought to, limit his achievements, even at the price of restricting thev degree of the service of his institution. But this remarkably man remains undaunted.

The hour approaches when East Carolina College will ask the state's General Assembly to approve the addition of a two - year medical school to its curriculum. Again. Leo Jenkins has seen a peed and is seeking to fill it. All around him are villages badly in need of physicians, some with none at all. Let us. he says, begin the training of some of- the young men and women in his are who have the qualifications and the ambition to practice medicine.

No-4eglslaIion hasV44 been introduced,, but opposition ti> Leo Jenkins latest dream already is mushrooming.

ing up elegant cans of mushrooms and mock turtle .soup. The famous touch Is gone and all that is left is a hodge-podge of tastless groceries.

'a first - rate actor, was that he threatened to fipUt the Communist movement by the quarrel with Red China. What followed the Khrushchev diamis-sal was a long period In which Kosygin, in particular, did everything he could to get Peking to accept an olive branch. Criticism of Red China disappeared from Pravda. The Soviets began to outdo the Red Chinese with promises of support for North Vietnam: both on his visit to Hanoi and on his stopover in Peking, Kos.vgin indicated a willingness to help all eastern Communists. The recent conference of Communist parties In Moscow, far from being a slap Red China affair, ended on a note that might have been accepted as propitiatory by Peking. And wh^ the U.S. began. to bomb North Vietnam ba.ses, the staged attack.s on the American Embassy in Mosc 0 w could only" construed as a Soviet effort to keep pace with Mao Tse-tungs own denunciations of Lyndon Johnsons new policy.

Ha.ving gone as far m prudence dictated toward meeting Red Chinese demands. Kosygin has been made to look extremely foolish by Mao Tse-tungs savage allegations that he has merely been pursuing Khrushchevism wit h o u t Khni.shchev. But Instead of pointing out that Red China Itself has made no effective response on its own to the sudJen show of American firmness in Southeast Asia, Rosy-gin has let Mao Tse-tung get away with the bluff that the Chinese Communl.sts are fire-breathing activists where their Soviet counterparts are fakers. The truth of the matter Is that Mao has not dared to provoke an atomic struggle any more than Kosygin has dared to provoke it. Lyndo^i Johnsons show of force in Southeast Asia, which Is next door to Red Cliina Itself, has been just a.s successful as General Lucius Clays intransigence in Berlin, or John F. Kennedys decision to face Khrushchev down in the eyeball - to - eyeball confrontation over Cuba.

Kosygin may have refrained from throwing the cowardice charge back in Mao Tse-. tungs teeth for fear of exacerbating a dangerous Intra-Communist game of chicke. But this cautionary approach does not paint an Image of a man in c(^nm ,nd of events.

^hat does it mean to Ix* educated? Does it mean tp have a college diploma or be t li e ' graduate of ^ a profess i 0 n a 1 school?

Undoubtedly these^ things are part of formal education, but tnipre are today, and th(*re always have been, people who ha^gone through InsUtutions of leaning and are not educated. oil the oth,er hand, there are pt'o])le w'ho have had almost no elementary .education and no advanced education at all, yet they are .superbly educated.

When all Is said and done, a person/is educated who has learned fiomethlng. This seems obvious./yet to ab.sorb fads is not neqcssaiily to learn anything. For facts have a meaning only if we can put them to some use. They may do no

thing but give u.s pleasure. They\.inay. on the other hand, prepare us for great projects and for achievcmenlH of help-fulnefvs, People may tx* .seated all llKdr llve.s on the edge of the perennial spring of know-, ledge and never have sense enough to turn around and take a drink.,

To be educated means to leani something. College education is fine and everyone should endkavor to get such an edueatlon and provide such an education for his or h e r ciiildren. But going to college will not educate anyone not unless he learns something. And we all learn something when we learn the meaning of facts, when we learn how to use them to our good and the ptildlc good , -
