Rip Another President Apart?

All Americans, whether they have felt we should immediately withdraw frwn Southeast Asia or that we should exhibit a strong stand there, must have felt despair when President Nixon announced that our troc^ were moving into Cambodia.

Whatever the justification, this represented a new move into another country with all the unknown risks that come with it

At the same time it was a decision that could only be made by the president of the United States. He will have to rise or fall on the success or failure of it It has long been known that Communist bases

Crisp, Candid

Sanford Style

By BRYAN HAISLIP

DURHAM, N. C. - The handshake is firm and cordial, the blue - eyed gaze direct, the voice warm with undertones of earnestness and humor.

Im Terry Sanford. Welcome to Duke University."

The personal attributes used with telling effect in political campaigning, as Governor of North Carolina, and in marshalling foundation resourses for studies to improve state government and strengthen education are now at work in the presidency of Duke University.

Sanford officially assumed the office on April 1. Now, one month later, he is fitting himself to the job with a never - idle schedule that concentrates on opening channels of communication with students, faculty and community. He is prompt to praise the Duke admistrative team, and to speak appreciatively of the Cooperative and generous reception accorded him.

The emerging Sanford style as university administrator is crisp and candid, respectful of the university system, and open to the ideas of all those involved in the task of keeping it functioning and relevant to its society. Leaner by 20 pounds than when he left the Governors office, thanks to daily jogging, he is physically fit and at ease in the job.

He and Margaret Rose, whose First Lady duties schooled her for the role of presidents wife, have moved into the presidents residence. It was known they had initial misgivings and considered alternatives. Today he says simply, This is its purpose and what is should be used for.

He has joined the Durham Rotary Qub (which is integrated). He has not joined the Hope Valley Country Club (which is not).

The Durham establishment is watching the Sanford performance closely, with fingers crossed. Hes winning them over, hes winning them over, a Durham businessman reported Those close to Sanford do not expect him to gather at Duke associates from his political career, but to mold a team whose qualifications for the job at hand can pass academic inspection. He said appointments will go through normal administrative channels, with faculty and student consultation where beneficial.

The offices of governor and university president have aspects in common. Both require a great deal of patient listening," he said.

Listening begins at 7 a.m. with breakfast in a campus cafeteria, meeting student leaders in a relaxed setting

which encourages forthright conversation. The day is filled with office appointments, including faculty and administrative persone!. The evening usually brings dinner with faculty or student groups, or a dormitory give -and - take discussion.

He is talking as well as listening, staking out his own position on the university and its role.

The tempo of change in our world is faster than most people realize, he said. Our big task is to rec(^nize that change itself is inevitable and to use all resources available to make that change creative and beneficial.

Campus unrest is a facet of the times. Young people are not rebellious just for the sake of rebellion. They want the chance for full and free expression, just as people generally do.

I welcome student in - put at every level and in every way. I dont know of any university decision which cant be improved by the candid expression of student opinion.

were being used in Cambodia to strike at U.S. and South Vietnamese positions in South Vietnam. It may be that the bold strike by our forces at these previously privileged sanctuaries will save American lives and will lead to more rapid withdrawals of American troops from the whole area:

We also have to recognize the possibility that the strike will bog us down in fighting in still another Southeast Asian country. There is the possibility that Red China will intervene as they did in Korea, although China has enough to keep it busy on the Soviet border these days.

No American owes blind allegiance to his president. On the other hand we have to recognize that President Nixon made his decision after weighing the fact that the move was bound to bring a new wave of radical activity in the country.

Now four different presidents have concluded that a collapse of American influence in Southeast Asia would be disastrous to the free world. It was not a p(^ular decision for any of them.

We Americans can rip another president apart in this time of crisis. But we should remember that as we destroy our leaders a leftist element lurks awaiting its opportunity to seize power. The left is not liberal, as we have so often been told. It is radical; fascist elements are to be found among it Americas potential Mao or Hitler is to be found there. With every elected leader we destroy, the radical left is that much nearer to its planned take -over.

President Nixon agonized over his decision; now all Americans have to decide whether what we have, imperfect as it is, is worth preserving.

THE MONKEYS ON OUR BACK!

Little Time Lag Seen For Federal Building

Even though an announcement was made some months ago that the old Greenville post office building would be remodeled for federal offices, it is good news that bids for the projects will be received next month.

This rainy spring afternoon Sanford spoke at the Humanities Festival of Chapel Hill Senior High School, an engagement accepted as a favor for the son of a friend and also for the stimulation of the youthful audience.

There is a Cadillac in the garage of the presidents residence and a Lincoln Continental on campus but Sanford drove his Ford.

Is it all right if I do a little recruiting for Duke? he asked on arrival. It was, and he did.

The speech got polite attention. Sanford told them education needs imagination and innovation as well as money. Get the best education you can, and do something creative and meaningful with your life, he urged.

(Questions after the speech were abrasive and revolutionary. Sanford met then with graceful cool. I agree with the concern you are expressing, he said, "but... Social change must come in the legal and orderly process, and our society is flexible and open to change, he declared.

Driving back to Duke, Sanford said he sees no explosive situation on the Duke campus. He added: T^ere may be when we get back. It can come on any campus, any day, on any subject. Thats the nature of present campus life.

Its not my business to put - down students. Its not my business to be a buddy -buddy to students. Its business to run the university, and I could not and will not turn that over to students or anyone else."

There are times, where federal projects are involved, that a considerable time lag takes place between the making of a decision and its implementation. A project such as the renovation of the post office could have been one of these. Fortunately, it appears that work on the project will now move forward in short order.

A federal office building located in the central business area of Greenville will be an asset to the city and likewise an asset to federal agencies which have offices in Greenville. The building will not house all the federal agency offices here, to be sure, but it will provide much needed space and in a location accessable to a number of state and local government offices.

In addition to the other advantages the federal office building offers, it provides another shot - in the - arm for the ambitious central business district renovation being planned for downtown Greenville

VIENTIANE, LAOS - A 5,000 - man increase in the hard - pressed Royal Lao army is being blocked because the war in Laos, though vital to the enormous U.S. commitment in Vietnam, is financed on a pinch -penny basis by Washington.

The 5,000 new soldiers, on top of the present 55,000 - man Royal army and 40,000 irregulars, are needed to cope with the greatly escalated invading army of nearly 70,000 North Vietnamese (plus ineffective Pathet Lao Communist guerrillas, variously estimated between 20,000 and 50,000). But so great are Washington pressures to hold down spending in Laos that chances are Uncle Sam wont produce the money.

The problem is by no means limited to troops. U.S. officials slowly losing ground against the North Vietnamese invaders, must coax and tease for weapons, aircraft, and other equipment. Whats worse, with the new isolationism running high in

Washington and the Senate Foreign Relations Committees unviling of the previously covert U.S. operation here, money available for Laos may become tighter still.

Yet, Laos is critical to the overall fate of Indocahina. As its problems mount in South Vietnam, North Vietnam has nearly four regular divisions pinned down in Laos. Without the U.S. - financed Lao resistance, Hanoi not only could transfer most of these troops to South Vietnam but also might pressure the Vientiane government into demanding an end to U.S. bombing of the Ho Chi Minh Trail in southern Laos.

Considering these stakes, the shoestring American budget in Laos less than $500 million a year makes the operation a model in cost effectiveness. For example, the 40,000 irregulars (including Gen. Vang Paos Meo guerrillas) are advised by less than 250 operatives of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

More important, Laos (Continued On Page 5)

Strength For Today

CONSPIRACY Kagawa, the great Christian of Japan, said during World War II that the great contest was not with guns and bombs or the nations arrayed on opposite sides in the war, but the greater contest was between the ideals of communism and those of Christianity. We certainly see that this contest continues long after the shooting war ended.

We had friends among the Japanese even when the war was at its worst. Missicmaries could number hundreds of pe(^le in Japan whom they loved as Christian comrades. All over the world pecle praised Kagawa.

Certainly he was right in saying that the contest was between the ideals of communism and those of Christianity. There can be no compromise there. The mother of Karl Marx was said to have remarked that it would be a lot better if Karl

spent some time trying to get himself a bit of capital instead of fighting capitalism all the time. An economic or political system which seeks to change government by force regardless of what the majority thinks is a menace to society. A communist speaker was asked, How do you expect to bring about the communistic stateby ballots or by bullets? His reply was by ballots if we can; by bullets if we must. Communism is economic hocus-pocus. They even tried it in the early Qiristian Church, and Paul had to raise money and get it up to Jerusalem fast to prevent starvation (Acts 24:17).

Only three per cent of the Russians are communists. Communism ' is not a movement but a conspiracy the few against the many, with plent^r of suffering thrown in to make the conspiracy work.

Our Man In The Middle

WASHINGTON - My friend Brightfelder is having an identity crisis. He said that no matter where he stood on the major issues in the United States today, he found himself in trouble.

The fact that Im against the bombing of New York buildings, the student take -overs of offices and intimidation by militant know -nothings makes me a fascist pig

Well, theres nothing wrong with that, I said.

Except that I think Spiro Agnew is full of hot air.

But that makes you an

effete snob and a psdudo -intellectual, I said.

Exactly. I think Judge Julius Hoffman of Chicago is one of the great disasters of our judicial system.

That makes you an ultra -left - wing revolutionary. "At the same time, I think the Chicago Seven are a bunch of clowns who belong on the comic pages of the newspapers.

Which makes you an apologist for the stinking bourgeois establishment. To my mind, Atty. Gen. Mitchell would do anything to violate my constitutional

rights in the name of law and order, and this makes me a limousine liberal

Theyre the worst kind. At the same time, I think we should beef up our police forces.

Join the Silent Majority. I believe Nixons Southern strategy is tearing this country apart.

This makes you a typical Northern bleeding - heart hypocrite.

At the same time the blacks call me a honky racist for not giving them my church.

You seem to be all things

(Henderson Dispatch) Whatever ones feelings on American aid extended to the tiny state of Cambodia, the inconsistency of Vietnamese communists in denouncing such assistance is an example of the shoe being on the other foot. They assume the position that it is all right and in order for them to invade South Vietnam and that they must not be interfered with when they launch out upon a new military venture.

This group accused the_ United States of open aggression in extending help to Cambodia. But what could be more aggression than for the communists to invade Cambodia and backed by Chinese Reds? This is an example of the onesidedness of the war in Southeast Asia.

Americans at the same time hope that this country is not being bogged down elsewhere than in South Vietnam. What is happening now is precisely what has been clearly evident all along, namely, that the enemy wishes to be left alone in seizing the small states in the vicinity of Vietnam, and that when American firepower and manpower is withdrawnif, when,, and as it isthey will simply move in to grab everything in sight.

Washingtons theory is that involvement in South Vietnam is an effort to throttle

communist seizures and to protect a small state that wishes to remain free. There is substance, however, to the belief of many here that if free peoples are to be saved from communist slavery, the task of the United States is not its responsibility alone but that other free nations are morally obligated to help. It ought not to be the call of duty for the United States to carry the burden of the free world alone. This may be the basis of some of the clamor here at home for total retirement from Southeast Asia and to leave those people to a fate equally as repulsive as war itself.

President Nixon, in an address to the nation Thursday night undertook to explain and justify the move in Cambodiathat is, to halt the communist advance. If left to their own purpose, all of Southeast Asia would fall to the slavery of Red China, and directly or indirectly Russia as well. It is not, or certainly should not be. an obligation of the United States alone. But once the present area involved in the war were taken over, the communists would begin turning their eyes toward Australia, New Zealand, and then the Philippines. Only heaven knows where they would strike next. But strike they would.

to all men.

I keep saying we should get out of Vietnam as fast as possible, and they call me a yellow neo - isolationist. But because Im not willing to pull the troops out today, my left - wing pals says Im a prize dupe of the military -industrial complex.

How do you feel about the economy?

"Im against a recession which makes me a reckless socialist free spender. What about inflation? "Im against that too, for which Ive been called a Nazi conservative who doesnt give a damn about unemployment.

Any thoughts on the ABM?

Its a disaster and as phony as anything the Defense Department has come up with.

But that means youre giving aid and comfort to the Commies.

Im the original pinko Dove. And because I think the draft is safer for the country than a professional Army, my kids friends refer to me as the war criminal.

You have to have.a strong hide to take all this name calling.

By ED ROGERS WASHINGTON (UPI- - Another traditional coalition of Southerners and conservative Republicans may shape up in this years fierce congressional battle over farm legislation.

Die farm bloc" in Congress has long since dwindled below the point at which it could pass farm bills in its own way. with nonfarm lawmakers kept more or less on the sidelines.

To have a comprehensive farm law after Jan. 1, all congressmen town and country alike must be drawn into the affray.

Signs of another coalition emerged last month in a House agriculture subcommittee working on a section of the new bill involving wheat and feed grains.

This section featuring the Nixon administrations proposals lowered loan support levels and a new interpretation of parity appeared doomed. The opposition was headed by a Southerner, Rep. Graham Purcell. D - Tex., the subcommittee chairman, Purcell leaned toward a coalition version, favored by most farm organizations, that would deal more generously with grain producers.

In rushed the full committee chairman. Rep. W. R. Poage,

D - Tex., and the committees top - ranking Republican, Rep. Page Belcher, R - Okla.. whose rank gives them votes in all the subcommittees. The result was a 9 to 8 vote for the administration version. A mini-coalition had rescued a crucial segment of the administration bill.

A few days later a steering committee handling lobbying for the coalition bill issued a public statement blaming the Southerners for the grain producers' sell - out " in the subcommittee. They included Reps. G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery, D-Miss.. John Rarick. D - La.: Robert Price. R-Tex.. Watkins Abbitt, D-Va., and Walter Jones. D-N.C.

A similar coalition is likely to form later this month when the full committee faces basic decisions on food stamps and on the explosive subject of payment limitations.

A liberal oriented urban bloc in the House twice has voted $20,000 ceilings on farm subsidy payments, which now sometimes soar to hundreds of thousands of dollars for big farm operators. Both times the ceiling amendments were killed by the Senate.

But the indignation of nonfarm lawmakers over the huge subsidies is growing. Some form of ceiling is considered inevitable this time.

Nonfarm House members also are considered likely to make food stamps a bigger issue than the farm program itself.

A strategic question is whether to place food stamp legislation in a separate bill and whether to tack on a moderate subsidy ceiling before the bill goes to the floor of the House.

Another issue is the cost of food to the consumer and the cost of the farm program to the taxpayer.

Poage summed up the farm blocs difficulties in a statement after the subcommittee action on wheat and feed grains:

There are not more than 31 members of the House who can be called farm congressmen.' There are about twice this number of representatives who feel that their constituents want them to vote against all farm measures, with the thought that by so doing they can reduce the cost of living.
