Hope For Thoroughfare Problems

' ^ ' ^ ' , __

If the road projects which will be recommend* Outside the city dual laning of either U.S. 26 ed to the Statec.Highway Gonjmission next month to Chocowmity or N.C. 80-33 to Washington is are carried out proinptly, then many of Greenville s commended. ^ _

/ We believe the projects ar well chosen. The completion of the bypass will mean a thoroughfare beltline entirely around the city witli most of it dual laned. Too, Greenville will be tied to two of neighbof#'cities bjL four lane highways. Work is already underway on dual laning the highway from Greenville to Kinston and the work on either U. S. 264 or. N. C. 30-33 will join Greenville and Washington by multi-lane highway.

There are other needed projects, of course ^ a Pitt Street bridge would be most helpful. However, the projects which will be submitted to the Highway Commission will alleviate the most pressing traffic problems. . . ; '

We hope they will be approved add the work will get underway without delay. - ^ i?*

most pressing throughiare problems should be |pl leviated.

Priority is to go to completion of the Greenville Boulevard dual lane thoroughfare and to con-atruction of a four lane bridge across the river in east Greenville. The bypass would be continued via tl^e bridge to N. C. 11-U. S. 13 at the Burroughs Wellcome plant.

Since this stretch of highway is needed now and will be needed even more when Burroughs Wellcome, Becton Dickinson and Fieldcrest begin operating north of Greenville we feel this priority status is proper.

Two other long needed projects wer also Included in the racompiendations and are expected to be approvedMiy the Highway Commission. One is the Improvement of Tenth Street from Charles to Greenville'Boulevard north to Tenth Street, .

says the proposed rules shall be construed and enfwced in such manner as to avoid technical delay, permit just and prompt efficient idministra-* tion of the courts and the business before them.**

SrtdagThe report goes on to ORtUne 20 specific proposed rules pertaining to court procedure, conduct of practicing attorneys and court admlnia-tration.

They cover the calendaring f cases, continuances, motions, form of pleading, pre-trail prooadure and the liko again all of whidi may mean ?ei7 little to foe lay pubBc.

Probably foe most striking insofar as the newt madia is concerned courtroom and courthouse publicity.

PhotoaThe proposed rule would ban both the taking of photographs and the T.V. or radio transmitting and recording of judicial proceedings not only In the courtroom IM but also in ,' a4jacent corridors.

The ban would not apply to

ceremonies such as the administering of oaths of office, presentation or portraits and similar occasions whicr may be conducted in the courtroom.

But even these would be under the supervision of the court. _ , "

DiangleNorth Carolinas Research Triangle is coming in for additional national and international acclaim.

Rep. Nick GaUfianakis, D-N.C., described the Triangle and its Research Triangle Institute recently as an outstanding example of the con- < structive partnership between science and society. GaUfianakis spoke at a conference onlechnology and society on the island of Crete.

Further, GaUfianakis described the Triangle and its concept as a unique asset, a magnificient aspiration, and socially useful.

The Fourth District representative was bom in North Carotina but is of Greek ancestry. Crete is a Greek island.

BankThen the Federal

Reserve Bank of Richmond devoted its most recent monthly review issue to Research in a Triangle in two parts.

The articles point out the wide variety of pure and ap* plied research programs.

The 18 institutions in the park paint a vivid picture d the div^sity and productivity of research In the 20th century, the review says.

This community of thought and investigation, linked with the three universities, has created a research complex unique in both function and substance. It points to federal government research in health sciences, air pollution and health stitisties,t o textile-oriented researdi^ computer researdi and biological and pharmaceutical safety and control programs.

More ResponsibUity On Our Young People

Tomorrow Greenville City Schools reopen after being closed Monday and Tuesday l^cause of the disruption at Rose High Friday.

Hopefully it will be a peaceful reopening and Greenvilles young people can resume their education without further incident.

This generation of young people has had a responsibility placeiTupon it that we who are beyond our school years never knew. And that is to bring about a peaceful integration of the schools without harming the quality of education and with a spirit of friendliness and brotherhood.

Our faith in the young is such that we believe any problems that might exist will be solved.

WASHINGTON - 7116 rea-soning behind Hubert H. Humphreys Oct. 10 visit to President Nixon, which proved so politically self-destructive, can be fully explained <Hily by a private meeting between Humphrey and some of the Democratic partys wise men two weeks earlier.

Humi^eys hip to the White House, far from being either an impulsive gesture by Humphrey or a ploy engineered by the President, had its genesis at that meeting. Whats more, Humphrey spelled out his purpose with vasy more precision foere than he did with the press after seeing Mr. Nixon: to pass on to the President his own dread concern with the consequences of Vietnam and to urge him to quickly liquidate the war.

There is, then, irony in Humphreys first visit since the 1968 election to see the man who defeated him. An effort to speed Vietnamese peace has unwittingly further deteriorated Humphreys relationships with the Democratic left wing and with many partisan Democrats who felt Humphrey had ratified Mr. Nixons war policy.

Humphreys meeting wifo hii advisers took place at his southwest Washington apartment on Sunday evening, Sept 28, as a planning ssesion for the new Democratic P o 1 i c y Council which is headed l^ Humphrey.

Those present Inrioded par-tv officials and former John-wn administration officials working with the Policy Council: Paul Wamke^ former Assistant Secretary of Defense; Joseph Calif ano and Harry Hpuse aides; Morris Abram, president of Brandis University; Sen. Fred Harris of OWs-homa, Democratie National Chairman; and several staff-level workers.

The regular business of the meeting had been completed and Sen. Harris had already departed when Humphrey began a half - hour monologue

He then expressed fear that Mr. Nixon might be immobtiiz-cd between doves demanding an immediate pull-out and hawks resisting any withdrawal. In fact, Humphrey went

The question is, or will be within the next two weeks: Will the Senate advise and concent to the nomination of Clement F. Haynsworth to become an Associate Justice of foe Supreme Court of foe United States?

It is pity that Forty-odd members of the Senage already have indcated thr intention to vote against confirmation. Once a Senator has taken a position, publicly, he hates publicly to change his mind. Yet foe case against Haynsworth is so flimsy, so

It was then that Humphrey suggested a visit by him to the President to impress on him the necessity for getting out of the war and to promise that Democrats will not attack him fcM* the the consequenctoi of tiiat withdrawal.

The reaction to Humphreys apartment was mixed. One adviser, exhibiting ingrained Democratic suspicion of Richard Nixon, felt the President would Jum Humphreys gesture to his own en^. Rut others agreed that Humphrey might help relieve what one adviser called an American trigedy never aeen before by this country.

In the cold light of Monday^ momteg and ruinoved from Humphreys persuasive exuberance, however, enthusiasm waned.

A Paradox In

VENTURESOME SPIRIT

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. True or false? A bit ^ bq^ with the odds being OfTin sidt of the venturesome spirit. The Western Hemiimbere would never have been discovered and opened to rettlemnt had it not been that certain\people had a venjure-some spirit The scientist in the teborttory today works over problems where ha sometimes cannot see an teeb be-fere bis eyes. Many Of (hi, greatest discoveries have been due to the fact that the people nyho made tiiem were wiUing toTtake a chance, as it were, to venture, to reach out mto the unknown.

Even a decade ago people would have said that tiie frontiers of discovery bad about closed. Now we have had men walking on the moon and some are so ventures(ne that they

are looking across ejijtcr space to the planet Mars, Wondering how they can get there and speculating ob what they will find. .

Should they try to go on? Most of us would say-Yes. As long as there is anything to be discovered let ua keep on try-^ing hdtb the vpnturesonre spirit The Wd genqralty used is ai-venture. Venture to achieve some id, to gain some new knowledge, to push out ^tber into the unkown.

In another paradm; of Jhe strange war on Inflation, the United States may see demands for higher wages, strikes that bring them about, and at the same time, a rise in unemployment.'

A taste of what is to come may be had in the General Elctri.si|uattep,.,where labor contracts expired and where unions havb spumed of-feri of a 7 per cent wages increase.

It seems impossible to end foe risteg spiral of wages, aind wifoout an end there can be no end oi tefiation. The building trades unions have won in-/creases of up to 15 per cent in ^recent months and members of other unions are pressuring their leaders for like gates. ^

taxes, according to Labor Ife-partmeht figures, have actually cut the purchasing power of higher wages.
