Mixed Bag In Congress Race

By BBYAN HAISLIP

RALIEGH This is the year of the second chance, newcomers and coalition politics on the Congressional trail.

It also has the earmarks of a time when incumbents will fare, comfortably in the elections to select North Carolinas ll-member delegation.

The one exception in the May 6 primary is in the Second District. There Rep. L. H. Fountain of Tarboro is in a race with Mayor Howard Lee of Chapel Hill for the Democratic nomination.

Lee. the states only black candidate for Congress, has waged a vigorous campaign aimed to draw together intellectuals, blacks, and working people of both races.

BRYAN ^

HAISLIP 1

Even so, it would have to be classed a major upset if he should knock off Fountain, the 20-year incumbent.

Only one other present Congressman. Rep. David Henderson in the Third District, is involved in a primary. Joseph Edwards of Mount Olive, a first-time runner, is on the ballot with Henderson for the Democratic nomination. Henderson is regarded an easy winner.

Action In Open District Three districts left open are where the action is on May 6 the Fourth, where Rep Nick Galifianakis chose to run for the U.S. Senate: the Seventh, where Rep. Alton A. Lennon, a Democrat, is retiring; and the Ninth, where Rep. Charles R. Jonas is stepping out after 20 years a Republican Congressman.

Democratic races in both the faurth ^ and Seventh districts are close, and runoffs may be necessary to decide the winner.

Six candidates are in the Fourth District scramble, and none has gained a clear edge. A second primary seems certain, but who will be in it remains impossible to tell. .

Wake County, with the population advantage, has four in the running. They are: Charles Bullock, a business and political newcomer;

who tfed unsuccessfully for Congress six years ago; Jyles Coggins, a builder and State Senator; and Archie McMillan, attorney " and forn^r legislator.

rae field is rounded out by Wnse Grabarek, former ^urham mayor, and Ike Andrews of Siler City, House majority leader in the 71 legislature.

With the big Wake vote split, Andrews or Grabarek

may havfi.a chance to gel in a run-off.

Rose Tries Again Charles Rose of Fayetteville is taking a second shot at the Seventh District seat. He challenged Lennon two years ago, but lost.

Organization from his fijst try may give an advantage to Rose. His two opponents are Doran Berry, former Superior Court solicitor, and Hector McGeachy, a state senator who opted for the Congressional race after considering running for lieutenant governor and attorney general.

While Rose appears the leader, either Berry or McGeachy could force the race,jo a second round.

Jim Beatty of Charlotte, a state legislator and one-time star athlete, is favored in the Democratic primary in the Ninth District. He is opposed by Jack H. Firpo, a Charlotte businessman.

Republicans have primaries in the First, Seventh and Ninth districts, Three GOP Primaries In the First, Mack Howard of Greenville and J. Jordon Bonner of Hertford are matched for the nomination to oppose Rep. Walter B. Jones in the general election. Contenders in the Seventh are Jerry Scott of Whiteville and William M. Nixon of Bar-nesville. In the Ninth, James Martin of Davidson and Graem Yates of Charlotte are the contestants.

Those disticts where all is quiet for the primary will see two-party action in the fall.

Eric P. Little of Wilson will run for the first time as GOP nominee in the Second DiiStrict. Jack Hawke of Raleigh, defeated in a dost race in 1970, will run again as the Republican candidate in the Fourth.

Other races shaping up include the Fifth, where Rep. Wilmer^ Mizell, the Republican incumbent, will face Brooks Hayes of Winston-Salem, former Arkansas Congressman; the Eighth, where Rep. Earl Ruth, Republican, will be

challenged by Richard Clark of Monroe, state legislator; the Tenth, where Rep. James T. Broyhill Republican, will run against Paul L Beck of Lenoir; and the Eleventh, where Rep. Roy Taylor. Democrat, will be opposed by James Ledbetter of

Asheville.

At the same time that we have a new training program for welfare recipients to teach them a trade, the federal government comes out with the announcement that the minimum wage will soon be raised to $2.

Astronaut Splashdown Now Calmly Accepted

There was hardly a quiver of concern for the Apolla 16 astronauts last week as they returned through the atmosphere to splach down in thOv Pacific.

The maneuver has been done so well so many times that we have come to accept it as routine.

There is still nothing routine about a moon flight, however, and the Apollo 16 crew has brought back a cargo of priceless geological specimins which should give us further answers to our origins.

The crew and their associates can take satisfaction in a job well done.

Foreign Policy Tensions High

sensitivities in Foggy Bottom would be little more than a footnote in history. In fact, however, the issue is far larger than Rogers.

Thiis, Rogers own inner resentment of the public dominance of Kissinger is only a pale reflection of the resentment throughout the higher ranks of the State Department bureaucracy. One target of this passion is Kissingernot so much Kissinger the man but Kissinger the chosen instrument to plot and carry out Mr. Nixons ambitious foreign policies. The other target is Rogers himself, fairly or not regarded as a passive Nixon agent in the State Department who out of loyalty, refuses to battle for his own constituency.

A prime example is the bitter sturggle now going on between the State and Treasury Departments for control of U.S. economic policy abroad. Secretary of the Treasury John B. Connally, a skilled and ruthless infighter, is seen by high-ranking State Department officers as filling a policy vacuum created by Risers reluctance to start a fight that would embarrass Mr. Nixon.

One result of this is the prediction now bring privately voiced that State, Department operatives themselves will soon take on the fight to preserve States traditional influence over foreign policy.

The idea that State is a supine bunch of cookie-pushers is inaccurate, in the words of one high official. When the worm turns, it will turn with a vengeance.

The Wha House seems to be aware that resentments are rising at State and that Rogers own dilemma is acutely embarrassing. Following Mr. Nixcms trip to China, when Rogers was lett out of the single meeting with Mao Tse-tung, Mr. Nixon dispatched him to Capitol Hill to brief Congress on the Peking summit.

Likewise, Rogers was the (Continued on page S)

WASHINGTON-Sensitivities to ever-increasing ridicule of the" once-powerful State Department and its boss. Secretary of State William P. Rogers, have now risen to a danger point so alarming to foreign embassies that Rogers and the all-powerful Henry Kissinger seldom are invited together to social or diplomatic functions.

A case in point were the two separate dinner parties that the Canadian embassy wisely gave in preparation for President Nixons state visit to Ottawa on April 13.

The first, on March 10, was for Rogers. Kissinger was the guest of honor at a similar dinner just before both men accompanied Mr. Nixon to Canada.

The, understandable reason; Rogers, denied the traditional role of t)e Presidents pre-eminent foreign policy adviser, has been so overshadowed by the glittering Kissinger for so long that he now instinctively avoids all but official en-coulfters. Most of these are eithqpiover the telephone or in the Wnite House.

Likewise, Rogers, a cool, dispassionate gentleman on ihe outside with iron self-control, has conspicuously boycotted traditional Washington forums such as the annual dinners given by the Gridiron Club and the radio and television correspondents where the press roasts Washingtons high and mighty.

Again, the understandable reason; Rogers has been so shellshocked by invidious Rogers Kissinger eompaf isions that he will go to almost any lengths to avoid them. In the words of sympathetic, long-time Rogers friend: Bill takes the pain with grace and forbearance on the surface, but it ties his stomach in a knot.

If this tension were limited to Rogers himself, who long ago decided that loyalty to President Nixon transcended all else, the heightened

LIFE OF THE SPIRIT

The promise of (Kristian faith is not just improved life but new life. The Biblical declaration of that truth is if any man be in Christ he is a new creature (or creation) (II Corinthians 5:17). The Apostle Paul, who wrote these words, had experienced a transformation of life in almost a split second. He was the Great Persecutor one day and the next day he was starting out on a career that would cause him to stand out among the great personages of history. To the very end of his life, the Apostle Paul appeared to^fKave troubles galore. Tradition has it that

Some complain that they lost their Christian faith because of a hypocrite with whom they came in contact.

McGovern Defense Plan

Several months ago, not long before the primary in New Hampshire, Senator George McGovern called a press conference to release a 56-page statement of his views on national defense, ^ew persons were taking McGovern seriously then. The statement got a fair play in the press; it drew some editorial comment, pro and con; it faded from the news a few days hence.

NcGovern went on to startle the experts in New Hamp^ire; he broke even in Florida; he swept to a solid victory in Wisconsin; and last week in Massachusetts he raced home with 52 percent of the vote. At this writing, he leads the field in terms of committed delegates. A great many persons are taking him seriously now.

The Senators carefully detailed statement on an

alternative national defense posture thus invites our reexamination. It represents the candidates considered thinking on an issue of great national importance. This is what McGovern would recommend if he were elected President of the United States.

The Marine Corps now numbers roughly 207,000 men. McGovern would cut its strength to 140,000 by 1975, by reducing its three combat divisions to two.

He would recommend that the Air Force be cut from 753,000 to 476,000. He would reduce the number of interceptors by slightly more than half. For the tim being, he would preserve the Minuteman missile system, but plans to upgrade Minuteman should be discontinued. Deployment of the Safeguard system

Other Editors Say Bond Issues, Too

(Goldsboro News-Argus)

Overshadowed by interest in major state and local races, two important issues also will be on the ballot on primary day.

North Carolinians are being asked to decide the future of proposed bond issues for a state zoological park and for assisting local communities in financing new and improved water and sewer facilities.

We regard both issues as important ones and deserving public support.

There was some dissatisfaction over location of the state zoological park at Purgatory, near Asheboro.

As one legislator to the News-Argusr There isnt much enthusiasm for it east of Highway 301.

Of course there could be only one zoo and it couldnt be located in everyones backyard.

But th zoolopca^ Piu*gatory is withing driving

distance of most of the people of North Carolina. ^

At the zoo every effort will be made to create as closely as possible a habitat similar to the natural environment of each animal.

This is to assure happiness for the animals as well as pleasure for the visitors.

A $2 million bond issue is [xroposed for the zoo.

The other bond isisue is for $150 million.

It will enable the state to share in the cost of local water and sewer projects.

But it goes far beyond that. If the state provides 25 per cent of the cost of such projects, the availabily of federal assistance funds increases from 33 per cent to 55 per cent of totaLcosts.

This means local governments have to put up only 20 per cent of the cost of such projects.

Both issues deserve favwable consideration.

should be halted. Prototype developmnt of the B-1 bomber also should be halted. Development of the F-15 should be ended.

At a time when the Soviet Union is dramatically expanding its naval forces, a Presidait McGovern would reduce the United States Navy from 605,000 to 471,000. He would cut the fleet from roughly 700 ships to 341. He has small use for aircraft earners: He would cut their number to six. He envisions only 130escort vessels; in this \ield no further construction is required. He is doubtful that amphibious assaults ever will be required in the future; he would preserve only enough vessels to serve a single Marine expeditionary force.

The Army has an authorized active-force of 942,000 men. McGovern would cut this to 648,000. He recommends a limit of ten general purpose divisons, down 25 percent from present levels. An part of its NATO commitment, the United States maintains four and one-third division in Europe; McGovern would cut this to two. He would of course withdraw all land and air Torces from Indochina. The remaining division in South Korea Should also be returned to the United States.

McGovern places the

nations baseline defense budget, excluding the costs of Vietnam, at $75.5 billion in the current fiscal year. He would reduce this figure to $54.8 billion by 1975.

In justification for these

drastic reductions, the

Senator makes a number of excellent points. He observes, for example, that the armed forces in 1969 were maintaining about one-fifth more colonels and captains with a total force of 3.5 million men, than there were at the peak of World War II with a force of over 12 million. He

denounces, with great justification, the scandalous waste and bungled defense programlof recent years. He _

A Poll For All Seasons

Hes not in a primary. He plays professional basketball for the Milwaukee Bucks.

But the niinojis primary was over a month ago.

Yes, I know. But our client is very interested in learning who you would have voted for if you hadnt voted for the man you did vote for,

WhyT

Well, sir, you see since there are so many clients, excuse me, so many cantdates, and so many primaries, its very likely that some candidates will drop out of the race and that would strengthen our clients position, especially if he could secretly reveal the results of a iH-ivate poll showing that he would have won various primaries that he lost.

Oh.

So, would you mind telling me who you would have voted for if you didnt vote for the man you voted for.

Dont you want to know who I voted for?

Its immaterial. It only matters who your second choice would be. Sometimes its better to lose in New England, the South, the Midwest and the Far West as long as you can say you were the next choice. That shows broad appeal. Whats the difference why you lost so long as you lost?

40 Years Ago Today

By GWYN COGHILL May 2.1932 A run-off election to settle the aldermanic race in the Third Ward was in prospect here today following the ^ fhattle of ballots at the court house yesterday when voters were given a chance to select five members to the Board of Aldermen from a wide field of candidates. The election was conducted in a quiet orderly manner and nearly five hundred persons voted during the morning hours in spite of the overcast skies threatening rain at any moment. Voting picked up sharply during the afternoon when candidates launched their last roundup of supporters in all parts of the city.

'The principal speaker at the meeting of the Rotary Gub last night was J. J. White. Mr. White told of plans now underway for bringing a barrel manufaturing plant to the city and urged support of the club to make this possible.
