But at the same time it appears unlikely that any deli-Bite decision will be reached. State officials, including Gov. Bob Scott, aregoing to suggest a little more time for atudy.

Role What the state's role wiH be in determining fu-, ture use, protection, conserva- , tion and > developing of this' unique iioastal isle is a question of vital importance.

It is a question which has been asked repeatedly over tte past lo years, without a definite jnswer.

Each succeeding state administration has t^n faced with It. But officials have atalled and dodged and refused to fdce the fact that eventually the state of North Carolina must relinquish its claim to Baldhea(fs marshlands rndst of the I s 1 a n d-or do .something about acquiring the rest of it aahm.^ To give up Bald-heads carshes, those vast fringes inundated by shallow salt water at mean (extreme) high tide, would in effect be giving up all of the precious coastal marshes.

"Dredging and filling of these Would be disastrous to the litates shrimping, shellfish

and finfish industries, according to experts. Ecological value of sudb marshland to the life of the sea and found is unquestioned. Biologists, fisheries e^rts and conservationists insist tiiat it must be preserved, and--they feel 'it should be preserved in a natural state. Another argument is that Baldhead, northommost of the so-called chain of sea islands stretching from the north Florida and Georgia coasts is North Carolinas only remaining ecological and biological laboratoi7 which has been preserved in a truly natural state./

It is so because the state, while ignoring the question of what it might do about Bald-head, also has refused to provide any public access to the islandeither by ferry, bridge or causeway. The island has remained relatively pristine.

Questions The state attorney generals office has issued opinions that, yes, the marshlands belong to the state. Another case on this point is in the courts, has been to the State Supreme Court and has been remanded to the Superior Court of Bnm-_ swick C 0 u n t y. It revolves 1,^ around a claim by an owner of coastal land that he may develop private oyster beds in a tidal stream under title dating from a royal grant in colonial times.

And another opinion says that, no, the state has no legal authwrity to build a causeway or toll road to Baldhead Island so long as the public interest is in question.

Those interested in developing Baldhead Island as a swank, luxurious vacation area and copying developments of the Golden Isles of the Georgia coast and some in South Carolina say access provided by the state is essential. TTiey point specifically to flie Georgia and South Carolina isle develi^ments as examples of what .North Carolina might doand has not dcme. Nowhere along the North Carolina coast is there anything tq equal Jekyli Island in Georgia or.Hilton Head Island in South Carolina.

By ROWLAND EVANS and ROBERT NOVAK WASHINGTON - Within 24 hours of the death of Everett McKinley Dirksen, covert but mtense lobbying had generated heavy support for a surprise long-shot possibility to sue-ceed him: Sen. Howard Baker of Tennessee, Dirksens 43^ year-old son-in-law now finishing just his third year in the

Senate. , ^

Chances are that Sdh. Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania, a 68-year-old veteran of the Republican wars and a former national chairman of^y? party, wilf ride the escalator from minority whip, to minority leader to. succeed Dirksen. But the fact that Baker is now given at least an outside chance to defeat him and, failing in that, an excellent pfospect to replace him as whip (No. 2 in the Republican hierarchy) signifies a revolt by the younger generation of Senate Republicans that has long been brewing.

On Monday morning. Senate office building corridors were buzzing with conservative talk about either Roman Hruska of Nebraska or Gordon Allott of Olorado (chairman of the Republican Policy Committee) to take on liberal Scottt.

But by midday, conserva--tives became convinced t h a t Hruskadefeated by Scott fqr whip in January despite Dirk-sens backing, would not even mke a race of it against Scott. Furthermore, they decided Scott had so strengthened his own internal positiMi among conservative RepubU cans ' " backing BM-that Allott also would lose to him.

Accordingly, conservatives began turnhig to Baker, a moderate coniervative with feet in both conservative and liberal camps. That coincided with a demand by younger Republicans, partioilarly the freshman class of 1968, that one of their own be n a m e d leader or, at least, whip. This fierce demand was the result of their boilii^ frustrations over tiie past six months that they had been given no voice in the Dirksen leadership.

Specifically, they are insisting that a leadership post be given to one of these three; Baker, Sen. Rlbert P; Griffin of Michigan, 45, or Sen. James

Parson of Kansas, 49. Of these, Baker has by far the most support.

-Led by freshman Sen. Robert Padtwood, 37, of Oregon, these younger Senators ire pushing hard for a radical change in the usual pedestrain pattern of Senate ?Repubiican succession to the top party post. Whats more, they are finding unexpected! support from some veterans, both Mi-servatives and liberals, who sense that not <mly Scott but . also Hruska, 65, and Allott, 62, are too much tied to the old politics.

The boyish, highly ariqtlate Baker was included on Richard M. Nixons M of Vice Presidential prospects in Miami Beach last summer and now has the confidence of the Whit House. Moreover, as a moderate Southerner, he fits Mr. Nixons national political strategy of seeking a permanent Republican majority in the South.

K ffie mate, Baker is highly popular, with close allies ranging from Sen. Barry Gold-water of Arizona on the right to such Senators as Chaes Percy of Illinois on the left.

Neither Pearson nor Griffin carry such political weaponry. Pearson, regarded as |i loner, --lost ground among Republicans by opposing President Nixon on the ' ABM. Griffin? campaign against Abe Forias for Chief Justice was spectacularly successful, but some Republicans now count that as a distinct liability.

(Henderson Dispatch)

Various segments of the press are from time to time, thus early, continuing to speculate on the Democratic ^ nominee for President three years hence. From what we read, Senator Muskie of Maine is the man to watch. Muskie, it will be, remembered, was Hubert immphreys running-mate for vice-president last year. It appears that Muskie Is steadily gaining in preferences indicated .in informal polls of party leaders.

Latest sounding of sentiment to come to notice is a poll Democratic leaders made by The Christian Science Monitor of Boston. In that tabulation, Muskie had forty supporters, Humphrey sixteen and Kennedy five. Kennedy was the runaway dioice six months ago, but the tragedy of last month has drc^ped his rating to aimoist the vanishing point. Senator McGovern of South Dakota had no first choice supporters when named alone, but ten in company with others.

, The Monitor said Muskiea

support came from every geo graphical section of the United States. In the Midwest, South and New England he was given a major share of the most likely votes in-" eluded. The Maine senator was the clear^t choice among party leaders in the remainder of the East, in the Far

West and the Southwest. i ......

The entire picture could change in the three years before another national convention. The Monitors survey, of ^course, embraced only a few of the party leadtrs, but the implications were there. That also could change by 1972. Meantime, however, the popular pastime and gossip takes on momentum which will increase as the months roll along.

Young Dwight worked to a shoe stora in Boston, and one day the Sunday school teacher appeared at the store, asked him to step over into a quiet corner where he could have a word with him and then told him that he had a compulsion to confront his young pupil with a spiritual problem. He felt the young man' had never given/himfclf wholeheartedly to Gdd. Tl^, he l^elt,'' w|s the
