Prompt Action For Hardship Cases

"Instead Of Watching This Old Rerun Let's Do Something Constructive"

In applying the formula for acreage-poundage tobacco controls to individual farms, there are bound to ba tome extreme hardship cases in the flue-cured tobacco area.

Top officials in the tobacco program should begin Immediately to set policies for dealing with these situations. Local committees which will have to make decisions on quotas for individual farms should be carefully instructed on their latitude of

There are cases in which unusual and abnormal crop damage from diseases and other natural causes in a particular year or years lowered a farmers production and thus reduced the average yield upon which his new poundage quota Is based.

It will take considerable time and involve no little cost in investigating and determining which of the many possible hardship cases actually are entitled to consideration. In order for the new

Some consideration should be given to producers who now find that these unusual circumstances will prevent them from marketing what tobacco they might be expected to produce in a normal season.

Bill

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES

PAROLES - A bUl to close ftarolea records to public Inspection is going to be re-written, or at least revised, before fiulher cwislderatlon by the General Assembly.

It will serve the same Intent as the oiisinal measure. But it has been discovered that the original bill referred to a section of the General Stat u t e s which did not apply section which merely definef public records.

Amendments of a committee aubstitute will deal with a section on Inspection and examination of public records, one which has given North Carolina a reputation as a model for open records and free access to records of official actims, documents, minutes of meet I n g s and other matters of public interest.

This law provides that every person having custody of public records shall permit them to be inspected and examined at reasonable times and under his supervision by any person, and he shall furnksh certified copies thereof on payment of fees.

there would be enough money to balance his recwnmended budget with some $11 millioa left over.

Moore proposed earmarking the additional $11 million for capital improvements at institutions of higher learning and state hospitals.

Thus far, however, there are requests for additional appropriations totaling between $8 and $7 million. The dozen bills last week alone carry appropriations of $2^ million for such things as historic sites, mental retardation facilities and personnel, an industrial educational center and nearly $1.5 million fcM* city school bus transportation. Major supplemental aw>ropriatlons bills introduced earlier include requests for funds for a two year medical school at East Carolina College, alcoholic rehabilitation training centers and $2 million to establish a pure and applied resea:xh revolving fund for the University of North Carolina.

PROJECTS Meanwhile, legislation was offered by the respective Appropriat ions men to authorize the University system and state - supported colleges and to spend $43 million for new construction.

This Is authorization to con- ^ ^ struct without approporiation because funds involved will be derived from grants, gifts and other sources including selMl quidating funds and previously - appropriated money.

be equitable to all, however this must be undertaken.

The program is not designed to penalize farmers. but rather to assure production controls in line with demand. In order to assuw that each farmer receives his pro-rata share of the production quota for future years, consideration must be given to the hardship cases which already are evident.

Legislators Decided Not To Pass The Buck

North Carolinas legislature has settled for at least two more years the question of whether the state will license liquor distilleries.

Debate on the matter in recent weeks has come from those with religious convictions that North Carolina should not permit distilleries. It has come froip those who supported the measure on the grounds that the state was encroaching upon free enterprise and denying its people economic opportunities by not allowing distilleries. There were others who questioned the long-range effect establishment of a more powerful liquor lobby might have upon government in the state.

Some citizens are gratified by the decision made in the Senate on Monday. Others are disappointed. Still others are indifferent toward the decision.

There should be some gratification for all citizens of the state, however, in the fact that the legislature faced up to the matter and made its decision without submitting the matter to a vote of the people.

It was a decision which should have been made in the legislative halls; but often on liquor questions the legislature is more inclined to pass the matter on to voters than to assume the responsibility of making the necessary decision.

In this instance we are glad to see that the legislature made the decision rather than passing the buck.

Trials Of Sen. Morgan

PROPOSED - What is proposed now, at the request of State Paroles chairman N. P. Ransdell, l.s an amendment to exempt all records and data collected and compiled by the State Board of Paroles.

It would provide that the.se records shall not be made available to anyone other than the governor and attorneys repre-enting prisoners except upon written permission of at least one member of the Board of Paroles.

Ransdells position Is that the bill is not Intended to hide anything or hinder anyone but to assist deserving prisoners and also protect the community to which a prisoner might be returned. . .

He contends that the bill Is needed to protect persons rendering confidential information in paroles cases.

In many instances, he says, paroles investigators cannot determine the true picture because the person interviewed does not want his name involved in the case.

APPROPRIATIONS Nearly a dozen supplemental appropriations bills were introduced last week, almost as soon as Gov. Dan K. Moore disclosed that 1965-67 revenue estimates had been raised and

The projects for which these funds are or will be available will be in addition to capital improvements for which regular appropriations may be made.

The authorization bills, introduced in both houses, list the specific projects and provide authority for construction in compliance with arms and conditions of such federal or foundation grants or gifts.

TOTALS Total amounts in the capital improvements authorization bill included $27.6 million for the University at Chapel Hill, most of which is for the division of Health Affairs.

Largest single Chapel Hill authorization listed is for $6 million in self - liqudatng funds for dormitories.

Authorizations for N.C. State University at Raleigh would be $7.6 million of which the largest project would be a $2.2 million physical sciences building carrying previous appropriations and a $493,600 federal grant. UNC-G authorizations of $6 million would include $4 million in self-liquidating dormitories and other housing.

All other authorizations for state - supported s c h o o 1 .s would be for expenditure of federal grants for specific projects.

WASHINGTON (APT President Johnson not only ran up again.st history. He got hung on a hook.

He got on the hook when he sent Marines Into the Dominican Republic. This was Intervention in the internal affairs of a Latin -* American country, something the United States had promised not to do.

The promise Is in writing even though Johnson gave two reasons for his action; first, to save American lives in the Dominican revolution, next, to prevent a Communist takeover.

He hasnt changed that second position even though the leader of the rebels, Colm Francisco Caamano Deno, on Sunday pictured himself on national television in this country as anti - Communist.

Reports from the Dominican Republic say anti - American feeling is tense among the rebels again.st the conservative and unelected junta which this country had been backing. This is where Johnson ran into history.

JAME

Fidel Castro, In the years he led the Cuban revolution against , the dictator, Fulgencio Batista, long backed by the United States, never represented himself as a Communist. Then when he took over, there was com-mimism on the front steps of the United States.

Elsenhower was criticized heatedly for letting it happen. But this was near the end of his second term, too late to hurt him politically. Johnson could be hurt politically if he did nothing to stop a Red grab in the Dominican Republic.

He may have felt it was better to risk the wrath of Latin Americans for intervening than

In this centuiTs first 30 years, presidents ordered Marines into various Latin American countries for various reasons and sometimes kept them there for years. Anti-American-Lsm covered the southern continent.

Worse still for American popularity and Influence, this government repeatedly backed dictators. President Franklin D. Roo.sevelt tried to wipe out these memories with his good-neighbor policy.

He stopped Interventions, pro-mLsing there would be no more. After the war the United States made several agreements with Its Latin neighbors on this subject, saying so.

Particularly, the United States agreed to the charter of the Organization of American States which .says: No state or group of states has the right to intervene directly or Indirectly for any reason whatever In the Internal or external affairs of any other state.

Three years ago tlie foreign ministers of the OAS, Including the American, also agreed that the principles of communism are incompatible with the principle* of the inter - American system.

John.son has cited that sec-' ond agreement In defense of his use of Marines, but that agreement didnt give any American country the right to intervene on its own agahj-st coniinunl.sm or for any other rea.son In any other countiT.

But, if Communists are a.s much of a threat in the Dominican Republic as Johnson seems to think, then if he took no action he might face the same kind of dilemma and embarrassment that hit Prcsid c n t Dwight D. Elsrnhowfr.

Actually, Eisenhower did set the wheels in motion against Castro, despite the OAS agreement against intervention. Under Eisenhower the Central Intelligence Agency began train-Ig Cuban rebels for invasion of their homeland.

The inva.sion as carried out under President John F. Kennedy, was a disa.ster, and probably made him reluctant to tiT anything of the kind again soon, although he did quarantine Qjba during the 1962 missile crisis. But this was such a brash Soviet attempt to move into this hemisphere, that the OAS approved the quarantine.

I would hate to think I could not commit an adult who had been convicted in our courts of a criminal offense to the state prison system because they were filled and could not accept any more criminals. That statement came from Wake County Domestic Relations and Juvenile Court Judge William R. Pierce w'ho Is particularly concerned about overcrowded conditions In state training schools for juveniles.

The situation he depicts in that statement is one of reality Insofar as handling of juvenile delinquent cases is concerned. Fortunately, it does not apply to adult criminal case.s, for facilities are jrtlll adequate for adult criminals.

But the bottleneck caused by overcrowded state train 1 n g schools is the most serioug problem confronting Juven 11 e courts at this time. In fact, the problem lj so acute it should be handled by the 196.6 General Assembly before it adjourns.

and with children sleeping on cots in the halls, there are sharp limits to what anyone can do.

The State Board of Juvenile Corrections has asked the Legislature for a new training school to be located in the center of the state. A number of children throughout North Carolina are waiting for admission to the states six training schools.

And the overcrowded training schools are causing a chain reaction. A Wake county boy committed last March to the Morrison Training School for Negro boys was named 52 on the list for admittance. After being cooped up for week.s with other children in the Wake Detention Home this boy ly killed another youth fit of anger a few weeks ago.

The boy, according to Judge Pierce, was not a typical delinquent, but he had to wait with the other delinquents until he could be admitted to a training school. Obviously, under such conditions, very little rehabilitation can be provided for these youths, ancl In fact it would seem that their attitude would become more aggravated.

We are constantly being told that there U a world opinion to which we must defer in foreign policy moves. But the ex State Department of-follal who, in a scoffing reply to a well - known commenta-tw remarked that the vast majority In Asia dont even know where Vietnam is was proba-ably pretty close to the truth. In any event, there is no single opinion, no consensus, even am(Hig literates in Asia about the action of the U. S. in South Vietnam.

The Indian Intellectuals are supposedly against what we are doing or. at least, so we are asked to judge from the words of Nehrus succeasor. Prime Minister Shastri. Both Nehru and Shastri can be truly represented as the heirs of Mahatma Gandhi. But they are not the only heirs. For Rajmo-han Gandhi, the grandson of Indias revered liberator, has come forward with a new interpretation of his grandfathers doctrines that differs smne-what from the Nehru - Shastri variety. In his own weekly magazine, lUmmat, young Ghandi has chosen, in the name of peace and his own Indian version of the Western idea of Moral Re - Armament. to support what Lyndon Johnson has been doing in Vietnam. * ,

Since the Moral Re - Armament movement in the West was identified In the Nineteen Thirties with pacifism, a R.I-mohan Gandhi may appear to be a walking contradiction. But the young man makes a good deal of basic sense. He argues that there are two colliding realities In Southeast Asia. The first reality is that the Hanoi and Peking regimes will, short of Inviting serious damage upon themselves, adopt every means to force Com-munlsm on South Vietnam. The second reatty is, that by fighting to prevttit the Communlza-tion of ItouQi Vietnam, America is slemining Communism in Asia as-|i whole.

Like his andfa,ther, young Gandhi PocotH believe you can conquer Ideaxlwlth bullets. But he is realist enough to know that passive resistance only works against an enemy who Is himself fundamentally humane. Fighting the British, a nation with a long Christian and parliamentary tradition, by sit - down tactics and marches to the sea, as Mahatma Gandhi did, is one thing. But fighting Communists by such tactics only Invites disaster.

Knowing the difference between enemies. Rajmohan Gandhi says that whether or not we like the American manner of fighting in Vietnam, and whether or not we believe that the Vietnamese people want the American military presence. this presence lenghthens freedoms duration in India. We need to be grateful, therefore, for the American soldier who leaves family and comfort and roughs it out in Vietnam at considerable risk. . .Should the Americans decide to pull out of Vietnam, a pro - Communist or fully Communist government will soon be Installed in Saigon..

Laos will then speedily succumb, and Thailand will be In a precarious state. If Thailand goes Communist, what remains of Burmas freedom will disappear and Rangocms stat-U.5 will quite likely be reduced to that of a provincial capital of China. Malaysia will be im-able then to stay outside Peking's control. Chinas grip on India will become tighter and stronger and will not fail, in fact, to crush us,
