Profftf- Nothing C<onstructive

-s'

It is difficiilt to see how anything constructive could come from proposed legidation which would prohibit the state from puorchasing Bald Hed Island.

If the legislature is to take any action at ail on tbematterof acquisition of the controversial island, it should be on the proposal to purchase the island, not a proposal to leave it alone.

It is significant that the proposal to prohibit state purchase of Bald Head came from Brunswick Countys representative in the Senate. It must be

Council Could Be Key Target

By BRYAN HII8UP RALEIGh! N.C. - The Council of State, traditional roosting ground for gubernatorial appointees, may open up next year as a target range for ambitious office-seekers.

It looks like quite a switch from the pattern of the past when an incumbent Council member, appointed by one Governor, could count on occupancy and automatic reelection until removed by death when another Governor would name his successor.

Now, one year ahead of the Democratic primary,

rumblings are heard that serious challenges will emerge for two or three present tenants in the second echelon of elective state executive positions.

Predictions are made that black candidates may take aim on one or more of the ofcen. Its ntihored that a feminine ~ aspirant of statewide strength may come forward. Beyond the party primary, {MXMipects are good that Republicans will take a new look at fleldipg contenders In the fall general election.

New !^r|e of Interest

What happened to bring the surge of interest in these jobs Secretary of State, Attorney General, Auditor, ^^irintendent of Public Instruction, treiiUrir, Commissioners of

Agriculture, Insurance, Labor which |XWvloily caii^ litUe excitement for either poUticans or voters?

The answer is Robert Morgan, llie Lillhigton attorney and former state legislator blazed a traU in 1968, running successfully against Wade Bruton, the incumbent Attorney General.

Morgan not (mly proved a Council of State offlce could be won; he went on to show how it can be used as a launching platform for higher things. His performance in offce, particularly in consumer protection, has attracted a wide following and projected him as a prime possibility next year, for the Democratic nominStion for Governor or U.S. Senator (or, of course, another term as Attorney General).

The Morgan example prompted closer examination of the Council of State offices as rungs on the political ladder. Its expected to in-, spire a good turn-out of candidates in the primary next spring.

Few Specific Names

So far few names are in currency for specific offices.

The suprising exception, and evidence that established politicians also see Council possibilities, is the report that Governor Bob Scott has thought about running for State Treasurer.

However serious the thought, it got wide circulation and raised a lot of eyebrows (including those of the present Treasiirer).

Senator William W. Staton of Lee would run for Attorney General, should Morgan decide to go for another office: so, in all probability, would a number of others.

Black Democrats may shift strategy next year. Rather than make a futile try for the governorship, as in the past, candidates may file for lesser state office such as lieutenant governor or a Council of State position.

Mayor Howard Lee of Chapel Hill, State Representatives Henry Frye of Guilford and Joy Johnson of Roberson are among those who could fill such a role.

Mrs. Margaret S. Harper of Southport, who ran for lieutmiant governor in 1968, may make that race again. As Democratic vice chairman for women, he has said often there are women capaUe of IQlihg top state elective office, and they ought to get out and run. None Likely To Retire For those eager for a Ck>MncU otgtate seat, there is one small hitdi. None of the present incumbents is likely give up withgst t It might be reasoned that age makes some of them vulnerable(five of the eight are past 60), but experience and bng-time 4>ariy ties might make those most difficult to dislodge.

Secretary of State Thad Eure, smiior in tmure (since 1936), said hell run again if hes living. At 71, Eure cherishes his role as oldest ratlin the Democratic bam. Treasurer Edwin Gill also is 71, a few months older than Eure. Hes not ready to say, but no one doubts hell run again.

Insurance Commissioner Edwin S. Lanier, 70 said hes thought about it but made no decision. Its too early to decide, he said.

Labor Commissioner Frank Crane, 63, said he would wait until the legislature is. out. ol town before making up his mind. Ill think about ft then. I expect a lot of other folks will be thinking, too, dont you? he commented.

Auditor Henry Bridges, 63, has given np indication of his plans hid likely would be^ a candidate for another* term.

Agriculture Commissioner Jim Graham, 50, likes his job and would be hard to turn out. Dr. Craig Phillips, 49, won election in 1968 as Superintendent of Public Instruction and seems secure for a second term.

^^isuined that the proposal^ r^ects^ejfed^ of nioBt of the citisens of that county in which the island is located. And what Sen. Bunn Frink has said in support of his bill has not fallen on completely deaf ears around the state. He asserted that private develt^eiR of the island as a plush resort would greaty enbace the economic situatkm in a poor county where most of the land is owned tiinber companies.

Not one questions the economic value of Bald Head so far as Brunswick County is concerned. The question has been and still is whether Bald Head is more vahiaUe to the state as an island in its natural state which furnished a breeding ground for a considerable amount of sea Ufe.

It is our view that the island is considerably more valuable to the state in its natural concUtion than as a plush resort And we ha ve the feeding tto t in the long run it is more valuable from an economic standpoint to Brunswick County as well.

If it is the feeUng of the General Assembly that the state should not acquire Bald Head, that s^^ timent should be expres^Bd by defeating a bill which proposes the positive step of purchasing the island, rather than by enactment of a bUl which would prohibit the state from taking a step so many North CaroUnians feel should be taken.

A Continuing Effort By-lmUvtdtralr*Nee^

the fortunes (good, bad and indifferent) of the Red Cross Blood Bank in Pitt County seldom fail to inspire a certain amount.of wonder.

On occasion, the Bloodmobiles cup seemeth to overflow; then there are times when it seems to have lost a perennial struggle.

This year, according to Chairman Douglas Morgan, was a Uttle bit better than last....having missed its quota 1^ something around 300 pints.

We are frequently reminded that Pitt County has a continuing demand, a heavy demand, for blood among its sick and injured. There are occasional efforts to dramatize the need, and often these are reqarded by a quota-busting visit, but you cant do that every time....even earnestness, dramatics, a sense of urgency or crisis can be overplayed to the point of self-defeat.

The need is for a calm spirit of continuity.

Pitt County can and should meet its goals for each visit of the bloodmobile without straining or prodding. As in so many community efforts it is logically reduced to a lot of incfividual efforts.

Gardner Lobby Gains Recruits

By ROWLAND EVANS ^ iBd ROBERT NOVAK WASHINGTON - Partly because of masMve aati-war lobbying by John Gardners Common Cause, the White House is far jniKt etmcern^ over an end^e-war amendment to ^e 1971 military prociffn^t biU in Uie House Uian it athnits. ^

The amendment, sponsored by Democratic Rep. Lucim Nedzi of Michigan and Republican I^ep. Chfrles Whalen of Ohio, would prohibit the use by American sddiers of any war materials authorized in the |n*ocuremait bill in Vietnam, Laos, or Cambodia after Dec. 31, 1971. The obvious effect: all U.S. troops would have to be withdrawn by that date.

No one at the White House worries that the amendment might actually pass. The Democrats al(me, far more _ anti-war than _ the Republicans, have not been able to get their caucus to approve any such drastic restriction.

But President Nixon wants to keep the vote for the Nedzi-Whalen amendment respectably low,, and it now looks as though it will get at least 150 votes, mostly Democrats.

But the grassroots lobby effort by Conunon Cause is> gaining recruits. Run with the technical help of Matt Reese and Associates, professional political consultants, this lobbying is concentrated not in*^ Washington but back in the districts of fence - sitting Congressmoi.^

Out of the first ten , districts spotted for a massive teiephdne campaign, in which voters w^ asked to write or wire their Congressmen to ss^rt the amendment, fivepftte taifrt Congressmen have now agreed to do so : Republican Rej^. Flojee Dwym* and William Widnall of New Jersey, William Broomfield and Jack , McDonald of Michigan, and Democratic Rep, Martha Griffiths of Michigan.

In addition, seven Democrats who voted naJn the March 31 party caucus on a Dec. 31 troop - withdrawal deadline (defeated by one vote) have not switched. White House operative who are long-time studmts of lobbying give Gardners lobby much of the credit. They worry about further inroads before the procurement bill is votedon. Foreign Economic Crisis

The depressing, starkly realistic study of declining U.S. economic power abroad by White House assistant Peter G. Peterson has so imlnressed President Nixon that he ordered Petmon to give a closed - door briefing to all Republican members of (Congress on Thursday.

Peterson, the 44-year-old former chairman of the board of Bell & Howell, has also given confidential bridHngs, at Mr. Nixons ordors, to senior staffers in the White House and to House and Scsiate Republican leaders.

Petmaon has made no hard proposals to the Presidmit yet (Continued on pa|e 5)

Other Editors Say

(The hel^ Star)

LEGISLATORS are sitttng on the golden egg that the goose of Mgher education, especially private coUeges and uidversities, has laid. The white of the egg iaa studait aid bill that allocates variable amounts of money to students so ttiat th^ may aj^nd non^iUte college; the yrilow is the companion and not-mdike hill that would allocate funds directly to private cdleg for taking students who otiierwise would attend a state-supported cdlege. Either way the egg is cracked, all of North Carolina would benefit.

We have noted veviously that our view (rf state aid to private education has changed just about 180 degrees in the last few months. We spirted out opposed to such a plan, but have come around to tiie view that tiie cost of a nrivat education bill will be less than that of supporting public higher education expansion. An additional factm* is tiie leveling off of student enrolmoits at all levels of educaticm. It seems foolish to us to build a dormitixry at any state university that would house students who could be sent to a private university for less tax outlay than a state university, not counting the saving in capital expenditure.

However, let us warn here and not tiiat tiie goose with tiie golden ^ can be smotiiered if, in two years, the private colleges are back knocking on the door of opportunity for more funds. No doubt, a two-year trial run <m eito of tiie two plans before the General Assembly may lead the legislature to request more funds. Rut private higher education can harm itself by selling its wares too loudly at the Legislative Building. Either of the two bills before the legislatia^ is acceptable, in our view. ^Tliey each accomiriish tiie ghelofsavingtax funds for support of a student by having him able to attend a private university.

THE BILL which aHocates state fUnds directly to private cdleges and universities is certainly the least obtwe of tiie two bills. As a result it is more oontyoversial since that bill gives state aid directly to such areas as churcheponsored campuses. Nonetiieless, the aid to students bill would accomplish tiie same aim through a more dicuitions route. We suggest that the bills sponsors come up with a single plan among them and ride the , one bill for all its worth. To taxpayers, that could be a fi

Education, which puts him in a class with such awful people as Hartke, McCkivem and Javits; and we sturdy defenders of the sound doctrine do not ordinarily

consort with men of this ilk.

But the unsettling confession has to be made: Proxmire is right again. It seems impossible. In his hard-hitting criticism of the Presidents proposal to bail out Lockheed.Aircraft, the Senator ' 4a -advancinr arguments that ring every conservative chime. He sounds as Republican as the late Bill McIUnley. Ji^xmtre summed up his position in a powerful spe:h last week to Natkms Fedm'ation of Indqiendent Business, meeting out at the Statler-Hilton. Wh^ he got into a detailed denunciation of the shortcomings of Lockheeds giant transport, the C5A, a little old lady from Georgia was so overcome by indignation that she half arose from her seat to cry no! no!, but the Senator would not be deterred.

The proposal now poiding on the Hill would require the taxpayers of the United States to guarantee repayment of a $250 million private loan to Lockheed. This new capital, it is said, would permit the floumtering company to negotiate a new deal with Rolls Royce in England, and this in turn would permit Lockheed to proceed witii its beautiful and costly new airbus, the L-lOll Tristar. Administration spokesmen defend the proposed guarantee largely on the grounds that if Lockheed slides into bankruptcy, at least 24,000 jobs will slide out of existence also.

Proxmire, the liberal Domocrat, responds to all this with the firmness of a
