Represents Tremendous Effort

Remember How Shore Drive Was?

It was a ^iet ceremony which commemorated the Shore Drive project on Friday afternoon, but it represented a tremendous rffort on the part of Greenville citizens through the decade which brought the project about.

City officials and others gathered on the esplanade which borders the Tar River and went through the ceremonies that recognized this as a restoration of the town commons.

The urban renewal project which brought about the park area had its beginnings in the late 1950s. Almost forgotten now are the shacks which clung to the hillside and the narrow streets and paths, most of them unpaved, that wound through the crumbling dwellings.

Those who were here during the decade remember the tremendous debates that followed the initial proposal for the Shore Drive slum clearance project and how after countless public battles the project was finally gotten underway.

Now the redevelopment is virtually complete and modern new buildings are beginning to appear on the property designated for 3ie development. The park area, north of First Street, has been

designated for public usage and plans are being made by the city to develop it A decade ago Greenville was considered an un* spectacular town by those who visited here. Now the eyes of all the state are on us as the growth city of the east Visitors comment on the beauty of the community. Some outstanding industries are coming in after their officials were impressed with our city.

That the Shore Drive park is a part of Greenville is a tribute to a number of city officials who worked harder than should have been expected of them to bring it about. Most of all it is a tribute to local citizens who went to the polls time and again during the 1960s to affirm in no uncertain terms that the voters wanted their community cleaned up and improved.

Must We Now Face Up To Two Cambodias?

They Go Where The Action Is

By BRYAN HAISLIP RALEIGH Where does the college crowd go when summer comes?

WTiere the action is. That means resorts for those who can play, the job scene for those who must work, back to the classroom for those who want to make up or speed up studies.

A growing number choose a route of service. Through internship programs in community and regional development, local and state government, they come to grips with the problems so many people talk about.

These are the young people who are ready to put their hands where their mouths are," said Robert Sigmon, director of the North Carolina Internship Office.

This summer there will be around 400 of them in at least 10 locations throughout the state working in programs which Sigmons office helped stimulate although it does not directly administer them.

For each intern there is a direct cost of approximately $1,500, which means that the combined programs involve around $600,000. Funding comes from the federal government, local and state sources, including the colleges and universities which participate.

The return on the investment is not only the student manpower for agencies which need it, but also the intellectual growth which flows from the encounter. Its not a one - way street, Sigmon said. The student gains, but so do the agencies. They get the point of view of young people, questioning established ways of doing things, offering fresh ideas.

Learning in non - academic settings is an idea basic to the internship concept. Lectures on sociology take on new dimensions of meaning after exposure to the problems of affulence and poverty. Textbook political science is clarified by involvement in practical government action.

Service - learning is the tag given to it. Because it is learning, there is encouragement for course credit to be given for intern work. Faculty engage in seminars with- students to relate intern experiences to classroom study. In many instances, interns are required to draw together

their impressions in a report.

Sigmons own experience convinced him that teal learning occurs once you get out of school A Charlotte native, he spent three years in West Pakistan in mission work after graduating from Duke University with a BA in religion. He attended Union Theological Seminary in New York, and was young adult minister at Riverside Church. Working with young people desperately looking for something, trying to come to grips with themselves and the city provided more theological learning than course work, he decided.

He returned South in 1964 with the American Friends Service Committee, organizing a sort of domestic Peace Corps to involve young people with public issues. He joined the Southern Regional Eklucation Board, which last year initiated a pilot internship program with North Carolina. He came to his present position, a joint undertaking of the Administration Department and the State Board of Education, early this year.

At 34, Sigmon keeps the incandescent idealism of youth and the driving urge to get on with it,

He described the internship programs as a bridge between the need for manpower on the part of agencies, and the demand for relevancy on the part of students. It gives young people an opportunity to get inside the system, to learn how institutions function and shape the lives of citizens.

"Its important that we work with the people and the institution weve got, he said.

Sigmons function is that of a broker, bringing the agencies and the colleges together around the student.

Intern programs cover a wide range. An example is a Minorities in Planning program sponsored by the federal Housing and Urban Development department. TTiirly - two students will work in state and local planning gencies. These include 18 Shaw University students with state agencies in Raleigh, eight from Winston-Salem State University and four from North Carolina A & T University in Greensboro, working in city departments.

If reports that half of Cambodia are being ceded to the enemy are correct, then it strikes us that an old story is being repeated.

Reports were published last week that the Cambodia government was resigned to letting half the country go in hopes of protecting the other half. Military specialists see the strategy as sound.

However, to us it is too easy to recall that Korea was split into two halves and in the war that followed the fighting took place in the southern half.

Vietnam was split into two halves and the Communist took their fighting to the southern half.

Now we are coming to the same result in Cambodia, and it is disheartening to Americans who have been involved in two similar situations previously.

Look Toward FBI Reforms

By ROWLAND EVANS and ROBERTNOVAK

WASHINGTON -Politicians deeply worried about the future of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the dim beyond after J. Edgar Hoover view last weeks abrupt departure of Cartha D. DeLoach as a close call that dramatized the need for basic FBI reform.

'Hiere were sighs of relief in Washington when DeLoach, No. 3 official in the bureau, bowed to in-in the bureau, bowed to intense pressure and suddenly announced his retirement at age 49, thus eliminating himself from consideration as Hovers successor. Had DeLoach ever succeeded Hoover (as seemed quite probable a few years ago), the charges against him of right-wing bias and blatant opportunism would have rocked and possibly wrecked the FBI.

But to serious students of basic FBI reform, DeLoach came too close for comfort, underlying their conviction that the frightening powers of Hoovers office must be radically reduced for the post-Hoover era. Moreover, there is growing feeling the next director should be more sensitive to the national political climate than Hoover has ever been.

What makes this so important today is the grim prospect in the years just ahead. With dissent rising and leftist terrorism intensifying, the FBIs role will be ever more difficult. TTie delicate problem for the future FBI director will be to avoid blind repression and help restore the confidence of youth and the liberal community.

Whether anybody can surmount those problems is debatable, but critics of DeLoach know that he was not the man for this sensitive task. Espousing a rightist ideology inside the bureau, he

has operated with great abandon in the Washington backrooms of business, journalism, and politics. DeLoachs connection with the Johnson White House was so intimate that plans were afoot for easing Hoover out and replacing him with DeLoach if President

Johnson had been elected to another term.

But what worried

DeLoachs critics most was his closeness to Hoover, a remote figure during his 46-year tenure who lacked both proteges and intimates.

Ilianks to hostility toward DeLoach by others, however. Hoover has drawn away from him recently. Although he did not press for DeLoachs

resignation. Hoover is not unhappy over it.

With DeLoach gone and Hoover, at age 74, determined to stay in power until forced out by death or physical disability, politicians of both parties close to the FBI are now looking hopefully toward the following reforms:

Reform No. 1: TTiey want Hoovers successor from outside the ranks of the FBI preferably a moderate liberal who would avoid the strident tone that often dominates Hoovers rhetoric. Supreme Court Justice Byron White may come closest to filling this prescription.

Reform No. 2: specific

time limit, perhaps one eight-year term, is regarded as essential for Hoovers successor. Although Hoover has become a fighting symbol to the American left, he has seldom abused his power. But in the tense times ahead, the man with all the governments investigative dossiers ought not, in the overwhelming view of politicians, to be beyond the authority of Presidents to remove him as, in effect, Hoover has been.

Reform No. 3: Experts on the FBI want it split into two

Strength For Today

PATIENCE AND FAITH Ckie of the hardest things to oidure is delay. Hie fortune we thought was within our grasp suddenly slips away and stands mocking us. The good movement we were sure would change our commimity and nati(Mi has failed to do so. Many diseases have be.oi overcome. The world owes a debt of gratitude and admiration to the work being done by physicians and other scientists in the alleviaticm of suffering. But why do some of the great scourges still remain? Are they going on mtil they at last decimate the race!

We pray to (jod, and He listens to our petitions with inderstanding and love. But there is one thing He will not permit, namely, that we write out a timetable and try to thm^ it into his hands. Why do people still have to

die of cancer? Why does crime increase with the passing years? Why do the followers of the Prince of Peace continue to lunge at one anothers throats? Let us have certain cures and benefits. Lord, and let us have them while they can do some good.

The order of events can be left in hands higher than ours. Time is a reality so overwhelming that our little schedules and calendars are ridiculous to b^old. But a good God continues to work toward good ends, and in his army is a vast multitude that works and waits patiently.

Delay irritates us, but so do a lot of other things. It is amazing how well things turn out if we have faith, patience and a willingnees to do our part.

A New Lethal Weapon

WASHINGTON - Theres much more to buying an American Flag these days than people think.

I discovered this the other day when I went into a store to purchase a Flag to fly on the 4th of July, which this year Bob Hope and the Nixon Administration have declared a Republican

national holiday.

TTie salesman said he was hard put to keep Flags in stock. I owe it all to television, he said. Every time one of the major news programs films one of the freaks burning the American Flag, we sell out. What can I do for you?

Id like to buy an

American Flag.

Good for you, sir. Show those lousy peace people what you think of them WeU, I, uh, uh. . . Would you like it for light combat or heavy fighting? I beg your pardon?"

Other E(ditors Say Forgetful Critics

FORCEFUL CRITICS (Rocky Mount Telegram) Certain sections of the country may soon begin to pay the price for the environmental extremism that has inordinately delayed needed electric power plant construction. A number of electric companies in more populated areas face energy siqjply problems in the wake of disrupted construction schedules. Some firms see . shortages if further delays are experienced in completing and putting new plants into service.

One of the reasons for the problem is that the requirements for energy are doubling almost every 10 years. TTius, facilities need to move into order to keep up with demands. But things have changed.

Until only recently, the more a progressive a company or industry was in expanding its services the more it was applauded as a community builder and taxpayer. But that was before the school of though developed which seeks to curb industrial growth as a means of protecting the environment.

(pities of electric companies, faced with construction delays and power shortages, fail to mention the long delays of various regulatory agencies in granting approval of con

struction of needed new generating facilities, nor do these critics mention the one inescapable problem that overrides all others population growth.

Energy, of course, is a key factor in higher living standards. How else is an electric company to extend its services to those who need it if it does not build new plants and encourage the use of electricity through advertising?

It is not necessary to look far to find why there can be no relaxation in the continuing plans of power companies to expand their facilities. The total population of one companys service area Long Island is greater than the individual population of 24 states and is more than one per cent of the total U.S. population.

And the irony of the situation is that if the investor - owned electric companies are hamstrung in their efforts to meet growing energy needs a lot of the same people who are now blocking power company expansion will call for a crash program of government intervention at taxpayers expense.

But turning to socialism rather than permitting normal development by private citizens would be a poor way to solve environmental problems.

Retaliatory Action By U.S.

By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP) - Tilings a columnist might never know if he didn T open his mail;

The average office worker, a recent survey found, achieves only 52 per cent of his productive capacity. It might be even higher if he didnt spend so much time loyally watching the office clock to see that no one steals it.

If youre on a diet and both-o-ed by an anpty feeling, dont overlook mushrooms. They have considerable nutritive value and contain only about 66 calories a pound.

Menace on Wheels; In the last decade automobile accidents in the United States have taken the lives of 475,000 men, women and children, injured 17 million, and cost the nation about $90 billion. What pricelack of safety! Speaking of accidents, some ! 1,500 people are still killed each

year in train-car collisions. An ironic fact; in one out of three of these grade crossings accidents, the car or truck hits the side of a speeding train, not vice versa.

Do you wake up in the morning with a headache? It might be because you gnash your teeth in your sleep. Many people are unaware that they have this habit, which can cause face and neck as well as head pains.

Although cynics doubt that many mens brows are wet with honest sweat anymore, your body is still equipped with some three million sweat glands to keep your body from overheating. 'The fluid they excrete is about 99 per cent water, 1 per cent salt, mixed with trace quantities of other body minerals. After maturity, the older you get the less you tend to sweat.

Immigrants coming to New York City used to believe its streets were paved with gold, "niat isnt true, but the Federal Reserve Bank here does keep $13 billion worth of gold stored in underground vaults. It belongs to 120 different countries which desire to store it in a safer place beyond their own borders.

Canny insects: Termites generally subsist only on dead wood, but one species in Panama doesnt wait for nature to take its course. These wily termites carry along their own fungi to kill the trees and make them more quickly edible.

Working wives: Two-income families are on the rise. Nearly 18 million wives now hold jobs outside the home. Unless she has preschool children, the more educated a wife is the more likely she is to seek employment to supplement her husbands salary or to escape household routine.

swing similar blows at Australia, Argentina and the Philippines.

The Civil Aeronautics Board has announced a new rule, with the approval of Presidait Mxon, assuming power to order the discontinuance of flights here by fordgn airlines and to fwtnd the inauguration of new ones.

Many other nations have similar rules and have exercised them to harass Aamkm aMass.

Balgli Klehs First

In April, the Belgian government revoked the landing rights in that country for U.S. charter flights originating from points east of a line between Rochester, N.Y., and Washington, D. C.

Belgiums Sabena line has long wanted landing rights in Chicago and other inland cities and this action was a power play to force such rights.

Hie action affected about 65 charter flights by six supplemental carriers, with a loss of $3 million in revenue. Hie Belgians refused to allow 20 carter flights to return to New York from Brussels, but allowed 20 other flights from Brussels to Los Angeles.

The six supplemental flyers, Capitol, American Flyers, ONA, Saturn, TTA and World promptly complained to the CAB and aaked it to revoke permission for Sabena to sell group rates on flights from Belgium to the US.

The C^B had no . such authority then, but now has

assumed it.

Other Conflicts

It can retaliate against other nations that limit American flights.

Italy denounced its old bilateral agreement with the United States when Seaboard World Airlines tried to increase its cargo flights there. However, a new treaty has been agreed upon whereby the United States is granted fuU landing rights at Rome and Milan and beyond Rome to 18 countries. Flights to Rome may originate in any city in the U.S., providing before final take-off they touch down in one of these cities: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, San FVancisco, Portland, Seattle and San Juan.

hi return, A1 Italia may land at Washington, Philadelphia, Detroit, Los Angeles and San FYandaco, in adcHtioa to New York, Boaton and CSdeafo, where it fthwa^ has rights.

Foreign nations seem t have some justification fo the disagreements with th U.S. American airlines ar definitely expansionists. Th various lines have landin; rights at almost every city i\ the world with modem air ports. They can operate t and from some 60 cities ii Europe, yet foreign lines cai operate from only about 2 cities in the U.S.
