perhaps the states leaders, along with its people, will be prompted to action to avoid such a disaster.

the danger is that too many officials and too many rank and file citizens may see Col. Guys dire predictions as too dark, overexagerated, and unrealistic. The danger is that officials and citizens alke^max lack thexo^

walls, Bounds cited Governor Bob Scotts tour of Central Prison last June.

The Governor clearly was interested in the states corrections program. It was an intellectual conviction, Bounds said The Governor had to go to prison. Once there, intellectual conviction was converted rapidly to

notional involvement. He came away determined that things had to change. Scotts next public address; was a challenge to the North Carolina Bar Association to undertake a study of prisons looking to reforms. The lawyers accepted, set up a committee, and pushed forward an in-depth survey which will be the basis for recommendations.

Cultivating Public Concern It is Bounds goal to build and maintain a momentum of

human worth and dignity, the commissioner, insisted. You should not tolerate our discarding a single person placed in our custody.

Need fw Research Yet, a great in the present system comes right at the beginning. Why did the individual become involved, in behavior which sent him to prison? What about the {xresent. system residts in nearly 70 per cent of inmates returning to prison after their discharge?

We dont know/ ssd Bounds. We dont know because weve never tried to find out.

The answers research could give would assist in shaping an effective corrections program. It could shed light on the age-old debate of punishment as a deterrent to crime.

We dont know what the deterrent effects of punishment are, Bounds said. We do know there is a difference; what deters one assures that another becomes a hardened criminal.

A research office has been in operation on a token basis since July, 1969. The next legislature will be asked to provide $250,000 to enlarge its scope. Dont expect miracles. Its a beginning, Bounds cautioned.

Road Quota Reductkm Another aim is to reduce the number of prisoners required for assignment to the State Highway Department for road work. Under a Constitutional mandate (deleted in the revision just ai^oved by voters) that

WASHINGTON - The spectacularlyauccessful election eve appeal over nationwide television by Sen. Edmimd Muskie of Maine was the first speecli ever written for him by prickly, talented Richard Goodwin and almost surely the last.

While politicians and press were applauding Muskies triumph, his advisers were exchanging harsh words with Goodwin. They complained that Goodwinspeechwriter for all the Kennedys, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Eugene McCarthywas assiduously promoting himself by claiming credit for the speedi. Goodwin responded by lashing out at Muskies men with the characteristic vitriol that made him the State Departments ifant terrible in the early Kennedy administration.

The episode transcends mere personalities. Goodwin remains a figure of. importance in the Democratic partys Keiinedy-McCarthy wing, particularly among the young. He now may well participate m anti-Muskie activity centered in that wing.

That scarcely seemed isobable last" May 16 when Muskie and Goodwin (now livings in Hdaine) chatted-amiably at the Main state Democratic convention. Goodwin routinely offered help if the need arose. Muskie asked for that help on the

Carolina Council of Churches at St. Pauls Christian Church in surburban Raleigh. Unl there is a movement fi*om the people, we dont have a hope of getting through to the GOneral Assembly, he said candidly.

Bounds is lean and intense. In a monks cassock he could model for St. Francis. Something approaching religious fervor fires his appearance when he talks of North Carolina prisons, udiat they are and what tiiey should be.

Prisoners are pecle. Last year, the system received 12,000 and discharged an equal number. On any given day, inmates will number 10,000. The figure will edge up to 11,000 by the end of next biennium.

All are individuals with

Muskie people was the funny coincidence that almost everybody in Washington and New^York ImewoLGOodwiiis role even before the speech was delivered. And Muskie aides believe that Bill Moyers, Godwins friid and former White House colleague, helped trumpet Goodwins speechwriting to the media.

When these angry complaints penetrated Maine, Goodwin went into orbit. On the telphone to Muskie men, he demanded apologies. Gratuitously, he informed them he had telephoned Kennedy-McCarthy leaders to reassure them that his writing of the speech did not mean h was backing Muskie for President.

Further, Goodwin informed advisers to Sen. Edward M. Kinedy that Muskies inner circle was impossible to deal with, each one jealous of his position for the forthcoming campaign-a campaign not likely to see Dick Goodwin in the Muskie vanguard.

Bettered 1972 Chances

It probably is inevitable, in the wake of a mid-term election, that political buffs turn their attention at once to the next presidential race. The presidency, after dl, is ,the big prize. But it is remarkable, nonetheless, how much speculation we are hearing on an election that is still 23 months and two weeks away.

The tendency in these parts, at least, is to interpret the results of November 3 largely in terms of Mr. Nixon in 1972. Were his prospects enhanced or diminished? Will he drop Mr Agnew or retain him? Whither now with the Southern strategy?

My own guess, for whatever it may be worth, is that Mr. Nixon has strengthened his hold on his party and improved his prospects for winning a second term. The

Agnew talk is just that: talk. And for all the apparent

setbacks of two weeks ago, the Southern strategy is still alive and well.

As to the President: Whatever else may be said of the gentleman, even his critics concede this much that Mr. Nixon is blessed with an orderly mind. He stands before our fluroscopes: Not a single impulsive bone can be seen in his body. He is a coach with a game plan. His thinking unfolds like a topical outline, and he trots out his ideas in close.-order drill. Something inside Mr. Nixon is forever marching in cadence: Hup, II, III, IV. All his parentheses are neatly closed.

I mention these impressions by way of suggesting that Mr. Nixon, by his own lights, knew exactly what he was doing in the rece campaign. He was playii^ the role party leader. He was out in front of his troops, shring defeat and

channeled to the correctiims department.

At present, 2,460 prisoners re assigned to road work to make up $4,800,000 of the corrections budget. Bounds wants to reduce that by drawing an additional $1,500,000 from the General Fund.

We have nearly 700 digible inmates wdio cannot be assi^ed to the work release program because they must make up our quota te the highway department, he explained.

Work release, under which a prisoner remains employed in the community, has {sroven a success in economic terms, he said.

The religious context of concern for prisoners must extend beyond the pious (Continued on page 5)

Nov. 1 vdien the SaiaUnr was suddenly tapped to answer President Nixon on nati(mal television. Needing tee best speechwriting talent available, he called in Goodwin for a rush job.

This is what will be remembered in the political backrooms that Mr. Nixon acted decisively in the unpleasant matter of dumping CTiarlie Goodell in New York; that he plunged into such lost causes as the senatorial races of Illinois and Minnesota; that he risked his chips not (uily on the easy bets, but on the tough ones also. Come the stunmer of 1972, he may have some feeble oimositifHi from the Javits - Hatfield wing of his party, but he will have the GOP convention in his pocket.

And he will have Mr. Agnew in there with him. Politics is an inexact science, but it has its rules all the same. 'Taft won with Sherman in 1908, and it was Taft -Sherman again in 1912. But Wilson won with Marshall in 1912, and it was Wilson -Marshall in 1916. Hoover won

agreeing to buy from sig)-pliers on condition that they buy their steel from' Bethlehem.

The three ethici are these: 1. It is illegal, hence

Sherman Act. A steel company cant buy its paints <Hily from one paint company because that company promises to buy all its steel from the steel company. That, Congress has. decided, is an illegal restraint of trade. Presumably. Bethlehem must buy its paint from the company that offers it at the lowest price in relatiixi to quality, even if that ccmipany .buys its steel firom Jones & Laughlin.

On The Other Hand 2. It is legal, etoical and common sense for one merchant to buy^ frinn a merehant that buys ftem , him. This hib been a principal of busihess since the first cavonan Mid ax heads to hunters. Her bought his mastadon Steaks from the

Ooo tribe because Ooo tribesmen bought their ax heads from him. To hdl with the Www tribe!

And today the town druggist gets his hair cut at Andres because Andre buys his {Hlls from him. And theres no law against it.

3. The United States buys only from ctintries that sell us. It has long prtdiibited the importation of goods from Red China because Red China doesnt n: cant buy from us. We restrict trade with Russia and its satellites, who re careful about what they sell uk.

Top Level Quid^ Pro Quo

At the minnent, <we are trying to avoid limiting textile imports from Japan through vol untary quotas. Both nations are trying d> hammer out an agreement hecause its am old yoUv scratch my back and

Ill scratch yours deal. Japan buys a billion dollarr worth of American ixroducts a year and wants to well, naturally, a billion dollars worth of textiles, Electronic and other (xroduct to us.

Something will be worked out. This is in the American ethic. But at home, buying from a customer may not be.

The Bethlteem suit is the fifth filed against a major steel company by the Justice Department, Other suits have been against U. S. Steel. Armco, Inland and Republic.

Bethlehem denied any favoritism and said that its purchases are made (mly on the basis .of price, quality, terms and the reliability of tee seller>

* Incidentally, a company need not wwi7 about prompt

payment if the buyer is also a seller.
