RESEARCH - A proposal de&igned to propel North Carolina farther and faster Into the almost limitless fields of pure and aiH>lied research is about to claim legislative attwticm.

During the past 10 years or so, especially since egtahllah-ing of the Research Triangle, research has become a key world In the vocabulary of those who talk about future economic and Industrial growth of the state.

And the subject of research has intrigued a numger of state legislators who feel the state should be lending a more tarn gible emphasis.

They have discovered that while talking about, encouraging and promoting research, the state of North Carolina Itself has done relatively little In the way (tf actual financial support. For examjrie. budget _ items earmarked for research by the University of North Carolina total barely $17,000 a year.

PROVIDE In addition to creating a climate, these lawmakers say they are ccmvinc-ed that the state can benefit richly by providing more funds, facilities and equipment neces^ sary to support a major research complex.

This, be says, would make it unneoeasary for the university to Gooie back befoiw the legislature every two years to ask for funds for research pro-granoa.

REPUTATION - North Carolina is already making a name for itself in research. says Story. But we*ve barely scratched the surface. This would be a very substantial step forward that would pay off a hundred - fold in a few years. At least a hundred-fold.

He conceded that an Initial $2 mUUon aiHHPpriati(Hi is a large sum. but iwedicted that the ApiwoiMlatioiis commltt e e wtmld be able to find the funds.

R is mOTJcy for higher ed-ucatimi in a very sense, Story says.

It would, he said, strengthen the research arm of the Consolidated University which already is designated by law as the primary institution for conducting pure and api^ed research in the sciences and in the fine and liberal arts.

BENEFITS Story and his CO - sponsors, after conferring with University officials and deans of schools and depart-mmts engaged in researdh programs, said there is no question as to benefits.

Make no mistake about it. Story said. "Research can become a billion dollar a year industry in North Caro lina, utDizing scientists educat c d and trained in North Carolina and attracting industrial development almost undream e d of.

"Just look at California, he said. Industry hasnt moved there just because of oranges and sunshine. Its been the

control vstom, adjustinents will bo necessary by individuai fanners. There will be misunderstandings and there may even be inequities. Biit these matters can be worked out if farmers are determined to make the new system a stepping stone to assuring a good economic future for their major crop.

Even in Pitt County, the largeat tobacco producing county in the six-state flue-cured region, there was much less unanimity of support for the acreage-poundage system than was indicated last December for the acreage allotment system. In the interest of the future of tobacco, we urge all Pitt farmers to re-unite in their effort to make the new system work properly, and to present a united front in meeting other serious problems which threaten this commodity that is so important to this and other areas.

would be to hold more of the research scientists being educated and trained in North Carolina In this state. Most of those who receive PhDs in North Carolina must now turn to teaching or leave the state.

In addition, they say, it is recognized and accepted that research is a vital and integral part of higher education. Tlre are strcmg, growing research programs on the state supported university campuses at present but virtually of the sui^rt is from iivate and federal grants.

FUNDS Legislation has been prepared Rep. Paul Story of McDowell and other interested lawmakers wh i c h would set up a revolving fund of $2 million a year for pure and applied research and research facilities.

This fund. Story says, would be used to establish and maintain an adequate and efficient research set - up including facilities, equipment and reserves for matching funds on campuses of the Crasolidated University.

Such a fund would be established by appropriating 50 per cent of all year - end, unexpended balances in various operating budgets of the university, not exceeding $1 million a year.

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) No one can escape asking himself the question where and what next? after President Johnson's explsnations for using troops in Viet Nam and the IXsninlcan Republic.

The United States is not only committed to stopping any Communist takeover in Latin America but worldwide. And Johnson has even said this country will oppose any at-tenapt by one country to conquer another.

Thats a monumental responsibility. Since Johnson himself has said this will be a disorderly planet for a long time, the United States seems destined for trouble around the world fdr ^aiw.-The policy is not basically new. It was laid down by President Harry S. Truman 18 years ago in the so-called "Truman Doctrtae. J(4mson Is simply fitting it to present events, with words his own.

Not all nations, particularly In Latin America, like Johnsons tactics. But ironically it was the Soviet Union, condemned by the United Natitms for crushing the Hungarian revolt in 1956, which has charged the United States with violating the charters of the United Nations and the Organization of American States by sending tixxw into the Dominican Republic. The United States Is a member of both.

You didnt want trouble in South Vietnam. You juet wanted to train the South Vietnamese to help themselves. A nice Idea, and you are nice people. But the other side, specifically the not - so nice Ho Chi Mlnh, very definitely wanted trouble.

I never hear you remark on the Irony that thetrail in Laos is called the Ho Ghl Mlnh trail. Something the teach - ins might discuss. _To deal with the .Ho Chi Ndnh trouble you develop an ad hoc strategy. First Its helicopters to shift troops. Then its marines. Then Its bombing bridges.

The Honorable Rep. William Dickinson of Alabama has put in the Congressional Rec o r d his charges of sexual orgies in the nmrch from Selma to Montgomery. While everyone is ccm-cerned about these, the main problem at the moment seems to be whats happening in Washington, D.C., when a Southern Mayor visits this town.

Last week another Southern Mayor, this time from Arkansas. was bilked In a flimflam game in Washington, D C. As with the Mayor of Selma, Ala., the victim was out on the town looking for fun and games. Instead his guide left him bolding a brown envelope with newspaper clippings in it in what has now become known as the Murphy game, ("Put your money in this envelope, mister, so it will be safe.*)

Many public - spirited citizens in Washington have become deeply disturbed by what

Is happening to our Southern Mayors when they come to the nations capital. Theyve decided something has to be done about it, not only to protect their good names, but also to protect the good name of the city.

The trouble seems to be that when a small town Southern Mayor cornea to Wa^^gton he doesnt have enough to do at night. Hes left more or less to his own devices and, not knowing the ways of a Wg city, hes bound to get into difficulty.

Therefore, a group of citizens have decided to start a sort of USO for small town Mayors, where they could come in the evening and play ping-pong and get hot dogs and hamburgers and meet nice girls from good homes instead of the type theyre bound to run Into If theyre left on their own.

The UMO (United Mayor* Organization) as it would be

called, would advise Mayors on where they could get good clean rooms, fvhat there was to see in Washington, and how to avoid being cheated by undesirable elements in the city.

Why do you think Mayor* are so suscf>tible to flimflam geme? I asked a spokeanan for the UMO.

He replied, We have Mayors coming in all the time, many from small Southern Jowns, homesick and far^ from their families.

There are two good reason* for the United States to be mixed up in more Viet Nams and Dominican Republics if this ciHintry follows Johnsons policy indefinitely.

1. It is unrealistic to think some non-Communist nation wont attack sooner or later a non-Communist neighbor,

2. Communism is not static but active. It is a crusading Ideology. Thus, even though avoiding all-out war. It will try to progress by guerrilla wars, subversions, revolutiai* or other devices.

Communisms present less than all-out methods arc probably temporary. Over all the Johnson intentions and explanations lies the ominous shadow of Red China, n(A yet ready for a showdown since It is not yet a nuclear power.

A few Johnson statement* illuminate his policy:

We will always oppose the effort of one natl(m to conquer another. We will do this because our own security Is at stake ... We dont propose to sit here in our rocking chair . . . and let Communists set up any government In the Western Hemisphere. He

At this moment In history the United States Is in the lucky caidltion of enjoying two luxuries; power and time. It has overwhelming nuclear power and Red CTiina, with none, is trying to build its own.

This Is probably the No. I cxplanatliai for CTilnas avoidance of a showdown in Viet Nam. This period of Chinese nuclear poverty cant last long. When it has the power it almost certainly will seek to dominate all Asia.

This would -mean throwing out all Western influence, which would be doing to the United States what the United State.s Is doing and promises to do to communism in the Western Hemisphere.

When that time comes the United States will have to ask Itself If It is willing to risk or undergo nuclear war for the sake of one or several small Aslan nations like Viet Nam.

This Date-40 Years Ago Today

(The Anniston, Ala., Star) There is something more than faintly disturbing about the sensational charges of Republican Congressman Bill Edckin-son. There is a kinship between Dickinsons tactics and those of the late Senator McC^arthy whom the Senate handed an historic rebuke.

^ The freshman congress man admitted he was not able to vouch for the tnith of the affidavits he presented to prove charges of immorality in the Selma march.

He had promised to produce pictures. He did not produce them and did not claim to have seen them but asserted they were available.

His facts have been challen-ged by people who participated in^the march to Montgomery. Two assertions have been bluntly denied by the people he named in his report.

In short," hla whole case .seems to be a web of goeslp and hearsay for which he admits he cannot vouch.

The Montgomery Advertiser, not particularly prominent for lUs liberality, had this to say in an editors note over the report of Dickinsons speech in their Wednesday edition;

The Advertiser hsui consistently refused to publish stories

which cannot be confirmed. The accompanying story is published because it concerns the speech of an Alabama congressman in the Hcxise of Representatives, The Adverts e r feels that the burden of proof here rests with Congressman Dickinson.

That editors note apparently reflects the opinion of various newsmen. Justice Department attorneys and others who have earnestly tried to confirm Dickinsons charges with o u t success.

Dickinson is well on the way to wrecking his future in the

House of Repr^>entatives by his dramatic posturing and wild claims.

But there Is something more substantial underlying this episode than the career of a foolish politician.

That is, quite apart from the merits or lack of merit of the march. Is it fair for a man to smear great numbers of people with flimsy evidence behind the shield of congressional immunity?

If he wants his charges proven, then let him state them off the floor of the House where he can be sued for'libel. The proof will be sqcezed out in a court of law.

If they had a decent place to go in the evenings, they wouldnt be tempted by all the debauchery hi Washington. We owe it to them to see they have someone to talk to. a friendly ear to listen to their troubles, and a person who can keep them from getting their pockets picked.

I know that if our club had been going, neither the Mayor of Selma nor the Mayor from the town tn Arkansas would have lost any mwiey when they were here.

Sir, what is your advice to a small town Mayor coming to Washington for a meeting? "First of all, he shouldnt speak to strangers, no matter how accomodating they sound. Secondly, If anyone tries to sell him something like the Washington Monument, he should check with a reliable source to make sure the monument hasnt been sold already.

Thirdly, if anybody suggests entertainment not of a theatrical nature, the Mayor should reject the offer and report it to one of our chaperones at the club.

Isnt It true that many Mayors who are afraid to Integrate at home are trying to do it In Washington, D.C.? That seems to be the problem, he said. We believe In integration, but we dont think it should take place after 12 oclock at night. Thats when all the trouble starts.

Look at what the trouble -makers have been doing to you since you first decided to put that finger in the dike in South Vietnam. Theyve started to invade your college campuses at home. You dont need many cbnsplralors around tb get' a full - fkKlged, peace at-any-price contagion going, especially when you have a nation whose historians always seek to overlocrfc the pertinent facts of recent history. The president of Howard University, Dr. James M. Nabrlt Jr., Is out looking at the trouble-makers picket lines on his campus one day, and whom does he sec In the lines but a Communist he once defended. Dr. Harry Gld-eonse at Brooklyn College had a somewhat similar experience. No. you cant prove It in court that Moscow and Peking are behind this new and explosive rebirth of the campus Left, and It would be McCar-thylsm If you were to make allegations. But its sure strange how all the dUces start leaking at once.

You send marines to Vietnam, end the trouble - makers immediately find a way to divert some marines to the Caribbean. This outburst In t h Domlnldan Republic Is a nice lllustimtlon of camouflaged trouble - making. Cubas Fidel Castro makes a speech that blandly predicts guerilla trouble in Guatemala. Colombia, Venezuela. And, to make his point clear, he sends several hundred new Havana - trained recruits into the Venezuelan and Colombian Jungles. And then, while everybody is looking at South America, the trouble comes In an Island that is right next door to Castros own Cuba.

The biggest chunk of confusion and trouble when the falr-employment part of the Civil Rights Act begins to take effect July 2 will be caused by sex.

It becomes Illegal to discriminate in the employment of anyone because of sex.

The first phase of the fair-employment section affec t s only firms with 100 or more employees, They will face such questions as these;

What will they do when a woman applies for a Job as a" truck driver?

What to do when a husky female demands ' job as a street - ripper - upper for a local utility company?

How to say no to a rugged girl who applies for a job as,a barmaid in a waterfront saloon? This will be particularly tough since women have held their own in waterfront bars. OTHER QUESTIONS

Whst to do when a man ap- plies for a job as powder room

attendant?

How to deal with a male who wants a job in modeling womens fashions?

And labor'union* may face such questions as:

What to do about a woman who wants to join a steamflt-ter,s union, and who can prove she knows the trade?

ELMER

ROE88NER

What about a white girl who weeks membership In the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters?

And states and cities will have their toughles, too:

What about the women who demand to take examlnaUoiis as patrolmen or garbage col

lector? Or the man who Insista on an examination for policewoman or meter maid? SOLUTIONS, SOLUTIONS

Most of these odd problems will be solved, of course. Interpretations and regulat Ions will cover most of the way-oit case.. And wheie they do not. neither judges nor Juries will be inclined to give justice to the girl who wants to be an attendant in a mens sauna.

Other cases will be handled just like whiles have been handling Negroes who have been seeking better jobs; tests and examinations will be set up so that only desired applicants can pass them.

Eventually, of course, t h e courts will outlaw these subterfuges. But meanwhile, there will be trouble and confusion.

One question not yet settled Is whether newsptpers and employment agencies may legally list Jobs under men wanted and "women wanted headings.

The confusion will be compounded because the . federal

law require# that all actions be adjudicated in state courts where states outlaw dlscrlmina-ton. Thirty states have anti-discrimination laws but barriers against discriminat 1 n g against women are low or nonexistent. Therefore, cases involving dlacilmlnatlon becau.se of sex may clog federal court .s.

And when guidelines are finally drawn to determine which jobs, if any, are solely for men and solely for women, then will come the problem of what .io do about the homosexual who charges he wras discrlmlnatrrt against on account of eex.
