agleton's Future Looks Good

Sen. Thomas Eagletons withdrawal from the Democratic ticket Monday night hardly came as any surprise.

The Missouri senator withdrew at the urging, perhaps orders, of presidential candidate Sen. George McGovern.

Sen. McGoverns 1,000 percent support of his vice presidential running mate had dwindled away during the weekend to such statements as I really dont know at this point whether hes a plus or a

minus. In additon two officials, Danocratic

So Far, Only A Money Plea

By BRYAX HAISMP RALEIGH. N.C. - The North Carolina Democratic Party, like the girl who first said "No. is leaving the next move up to the suitor.

It was one of the few states which gave a zero to George McGovern in the National Convention balloting for a presidential nominee.

Now, Candidate McGovern has the task of wooing Tar Heel party leaders for their support in the fall general election.

The only overture so far, said ^ate Chairman John T. Church of Henderson, has

BRYAN

HAISLIP

been a Irnig telegram with a message that could be put in two words: "Send money. The remainder of the summer will find the states Democratic candidates and party officials meditating on the appropriate attitude towards the presidential ticket. "It will take a lot of meditation. I imagine most candidates will make their own observations and look at polls closely before they take any firm position," Church said.

Youth Holds A Key

McGoverns chances to carry North Carolina rests on the ability to organize and to involve young people and minorities, Church speculated. He saw both factors operating at Miami Beach, and came away impressed.

The way the McGovern team went after the nomination. Church said, shows Theyve got ^me^g than can happen. ^ As a party leader, he added, he supports the ticket.

Arms length independence between state and national campaigns wont be anything new in North Carolina. Its been done successfully before, the chairman pointed out.

How the strategy develops wont be up to Church. Within a couple of weeks or so, he expects to bow aside from political activity and concentrate on business interests as an executive of a fast-growing chain of departmnet stores.

Getting along with the national party, including the delicate matter of accomodating to the presidential ticket, is one of the leadership roles that falls to Hargrove (Skipper) Bowles as the gubernatorial candidate.

Change Coming Soon Bowles will get the chance

to put in his man as state chairman when the state Democratic Executive Committee meets later this month.

Indications are it will be Jake Froelich of High Point, a wheelhorse in Bowless successful primary campaign. Froelich at the helm would give continuity through the general election drive.

Froelich hasnt shown an inclination to keep the party post on a long-term basis, and might not serve beyond the first of the year.

Financing the fall campaign will be one of the jobs for the new chairman. It spite of pleas from national pols, it isnt likely to include dollars for the presidential effort.

Church, who spent seven months as chairman under ^ appointment by Gov. Bob Scott, said he will leave with party finances in good shape. He woulmt mention figures, but he said there is money to operate state headquarters and give a leg on the fall campaign for the state ticket.

Church and th governor cancelled a summer fundraising affair on the coast which would have fattened the trasury. The date fell between the state convention and the national convention. "The timing was bad, he explained.

Unity Barbecue Proposed Hed liks to see it replaced with a unity barbecue, perhaps staged in Raleigh, with a price tag of no more than $5 or $10. Functions with a $50 ticket tend to create resentment among less well-heeled party elements, he explained. "It shouldnt be priced out of the range of young people and minorities, he said.

If the idea is favorably received. Church said hed be glad to lend a hand in planning the affair.

Church, a state senator cut Jfrom the EM^lishment clloth, had some qualms about open politics when he began as chairman. He had the ticklish task of implementing rules to assure proportionate participation by women, youth, and blacks.

Ive learned a whole lot, he said. Our partys plan of organization can work. The delegation at Miami Beach showed we can work together with unity and respect for each other.

He wrote each member of the delegation, congratulating them on their work and praising the spirit of unity with which they performed.

Family and business will get his first attention in the months ahead. Politics, which took him twice to the General Assembly and to the party chairmanship, will get a lower priority. That doesnt mean, he added a door closed to other roles in the future.

Chess Will Never Be The Same After Bobby

Any of us who have ever thought of chess as a remote game played in sedate silence have been awakened by the chess spectacular now going on in Iceland.

American Bobby Fischer might be exhibiting bad manners, but his antics have resulted in

worldwide enthusiasm for the game of chess, not to mention making it quite profitable for himself.

And now we have a postponement due to Russian Bovis Spasskys cold.

Chess will never be the same.

Hot Fight For A Speakership

ByJOHNKILGO RALEIGH - Theres still a battle going on for the Speakership of the North Carolina House, with both of the major contenders claiming enough votes to win when the lesgilature convenes next January.

The candidates are Rep. James E. Ramsey of Roxboro and Rep. Dwight W. Quinn of Kannapolis.

We talked with more than a dozen Democratic members of the House and the majority of them said they felt Ramsey would end up with the Speakers position.

Rep. Quinn, however, isnt buying that talk.

"It looks pretty good, Quinn told me when I asked him about his chances of being elected Speaker. Things are definitely looking up.

Quinn says he expects about 95 Democrats to take their seats in the 120-member Tar Heel House next year. He has been working hard at drumming up support for his candidacy for ^aker and he tells me:

"I can count enough votes to win if they stay hitched. Quinn says hes been busy with the Advisory Budget Commission for the past three weeks, but plans to do a lot of campaigning for the Speakership in the days just ahead.

It was generally conceded that Ramsey of Roxboro started off behind in the race for Speaker but made great headway midway through the last session of the General Assembly.

Ramsey looks for 92 to 95 Democrats in the House next time and he told me in an interview: "It looks real good for my candidacy. But I plan

to continue to work hard.

Ramsey has gone after the Speakers post with vigor. He has been in touch with House members by phone, letter and has visited them in person. He plans to continue his trips around the state to talk with Democratic House members.

The people who are committed to me are strongly committed, Ramsey said. 'They will be in my corner with their votes. Im sure of that.

Ramsey doesnt want to blow the matter out of proportion, but he feels very confident that hes going to be the winner in this race. Quinn, almost without question, has been hurt to some extent by the politics of transition.

Several Democrats who were to line up with Quinn have left the House to be nominated for the State Senate. 'They are Ken Royal, Jack Rhyne, Harold Hardison and McNeil Smity. At least two others who were going to vote for Quinn have died, and two more were defeated in primaries this year.

Ramsey is to the point now that he is formulating plans that he would use from the Speakers podium. He wants to see the Democratic caucus moved from the second week December to Nov. 17. In

in

other words, he would like to see the House organized faster this year than it was in 1971.

"It was two weeks before I knew where my office was last session, Ramsey said. "It was three weeks before the House was really organized. I would like to see us be organized the first week in Raleigh so the legislature

NOT TO BE OVERLOOKED!

National Chairman Jean Westwood and Vice Chairman Basil A. Paterson had gone on television to urge that Sen. Eagleton drop out.

So it was almost a foregone conclusion that Sen. Eagleton would be forced off the ticket during his Monday night meeting with Sen. McGovern.

Ironically, the end of Sen. Eagletons can^Udacy came wnen thwe was some indication that he was winning his fight for public support. In several television appearances he came across as a highly articulate and sound man who could take the punishment brou^t (xi by the greatest crisis ever faced by a Democratic vice presidential candidate. He answered his questions forthrightly and with candor. The contrast with Sen. McGoverns vacillating on the matter cannot have been lost on the American public. Sen. Eagleton was mistaken in not making it clear to Sen. McGovern and his people that he had been hospitalized for psychiatric treatment in years past. More important, the McGovern camp maite a. serious blunder in not checking and fully discussing the matter priorto rushing into the decision to nominate Sen. Eagleton.

^n. Eagleton has served well in the U.S. Senate for his state of Missouri. He is obviously in sound mental health to continue serving. We hope he will put this unhappy association with Sen. McGovern behind him and go on to an outstanding career as a U.S. Senator.

FACING FACTS

One of the hardest things in life is to confront our limitations. We try to hide from them all of us do. Some seek the narcotic refuge, deadening themselves with alcohol, or with some other variety of habit-forming drugs, to the realization of what they really are.

He alone is happy who< faces what he is, even though it may take courage to look facts fully in the face. Some people are keenly aware that they lack beauty and physical grace. Many people and they are happy indeed take such situations with a big laugh. They are not good-looking and that is all there is to it. But others grieve over it

and are frustrated, their lives turning in upon themselves to the point of injury. Still others are humiliated that some are more successful than they. And others are bitter over a continual lack of money. Those who are short want to be tall, and those who are too tall want to be short. And obesity well!!!

About the last-mentioned, something indeed can be done. But about most of the others, nothing can be done.

Lincoln once said that people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. Certainly that applies to this situation. Face facts and be happy with what you find. Dont grieve over your limitations surmount them.

A Dike-Bombing Impasse

WASHINGTON - Is the United States bombing the dikes in North Veitnam or isnt it? That is the question. President Nixon and Secretary of Defense Laird say we are not. The secretary general of the United Nations, the president of the World (Council of Churches and Jane Fonda say we are.

Whom is one to believe?

To find an answer to the problem, I called Wellback

Fishbind, the worlds leading authority on dike bombing.

Wellback told me, I believe both sides are telling the truth. The Americans are not bombing the dikes in North Vietnam, but the dikes are bing bombed by the Americans.

How can that be?

The Americans have strict orders to bomb only military installations, power plants and moving targets.

They have specific orders not to bomb the dikes. Therefore, President Nixon and Secretary of Defense Laird are telling the truth.

Unfortunately, these dikes are located next to the military targets. So, when the Americans bomb the military sites, they cant help but hit the dikes. The secretary general of the United

The Raleigh-Durham Airport is wise in going ahead with plans to collect its $2 boarding levy since it wasnt able to persuade the airlines to handle ie collection job. The levy will begin September 1, and will be paid by each passenger boarding a flight here. Incoming passengers dont pay the levy.

The airlines have refused to help collect the boarding levy at other airports. The carriers are fighting the levy by lobbying for congressional legislation that would outlaw it.

The Raleigh-Durham Airport needs the estimated $1,000,000 which the boarding levy will bring in each year. The money will be used to help modernize the Airpcxt, to make it possiUe for the facility to handle the larger new idanes now in service. The improvements also will enaUe the airp<N*t here to cmtinue to give the kind of service this wh<de area of N<th Carolina needs. Included in the constructimi will be a second runway.

The boarding levy is a i*actical way fw the Airp<Nrt Authority to raise the revenue it must have to finance the improvements it must have if it is to meet the travel needs of Raleigh, Durham and the surrounding section. Of course, the passengers wont be happy over having to pay the levy, but if it isnt used, the airport wont be able to give the passengers the kind of service they want.

The voters of both Wake and Durham counties voted against a bond issue for this project. One of the arguments used against the Ixmds was that those who used the airport should pay for the imix-ovements. That is a shallow argument, to be sure, but it was used effectively, and the new levy would knock out that argument in the future.

The Authority has set up a collection system which should cause the least possible inconvenience to the traveling public.The airlines will continue to sdl tickets as usual, then will refer passengers to another counter between the lobby and the departure gates. There die passengers will pay the $2 levy and a receipTwill be attached to th^ ticket folders.

Passengers who havent paid the board levy will be sent back from the boarding gate to the levy booth.

But there seems to be a credibility gap somewhere, I protested.

"I t depends on where you are. If youre sitting in the White House, you obviously feel the North Vietnamese should build their dikes farther away from their military targets, so American planes wont hit them.

"But if youre in a bomb shelter in North Vietnam, you feel that the dikes built close to military sites should be spared.

Wellback said, "The thing to keep in mind is that no one likes to bomb dikes. Theres very little satisfaction in it You hit an oil refinery with a bomb, and you get a helluva thrill out of seeing it go up with a whoosh. But when you hit a dike the bomb lands with a dull thud, and you have no idea if youre doing any good or not. Its the same thing with a dam. Theres no thrill to shooting rockets at a dam.

The effort being made by interested citizens to get the State Highway Commission to pave the link on Highway 11 between Bethel and Oak City is certainly important enough to receive consideration on the part of the highway body.

'Undermined' By Energy Crisis

By JOHN CUNNIFF AP Business Analyst NEW YORK (AP) - While the United States strives desperately to correct its foreign trade imbalance in order to save the dollar, its efforts are being undermined by a developing en&rgy crisis.

The impending crisis, which energy experts say is now almost inevitable, is forcing the country to import millions of barrels of foreign oil and, consequently, eiqixrt billions of dollars in payment.

Meanwhile, because of a web of environmental, economic and political factors, combined with a failure industry and government to produce a unified, farsighted energy policy, corrective acti<m is stymied.

It results in this contradiction:

Ilie United States is estimated to have within its borders* enough energy res^Kirces to meet its need for at least 200 years at current consumption rates.

But, while allegedly doing all it can to stop the dollar

outflow, the country leaves much of its domestic resources untapped and, instead, imports oil and natural gas at a current rate of $5 Ixllion a yearand growing.

Moreover, energy experts claim the situation has developed so much momentum that dependence on fcur^gn siq)plies will rise from 90 per cent this year to 40 in 1975.

Because of the long "lead times needed to develop domestic supplies, and because of high costs, "the hour is now too late, in the words of one authority, John McLean, to escape the myriad effects of a vast energy problem.

The facets of that problem include power blackouts, possible higher prices, disputes between ecologists and domestic enei^ suppliers, and a vulnerability to thedemands of the Arab producing nations.

It is the effect on the dollar, however, that probably offers the most ironic illustration of the dangers inherent in the nationa inability to coordinate corrective .action

among producers and 60 governmental agencies.

Despite the growing trade deficits that already have led to an unprecedented devaluation of the dollar and currency disruptions among the worlds trading nations, the Federal government estimates that the deficit from energy imports alone could reach $25 billion by 1965.

Says McLean, who heads Continental Oil Co. and is chairman of the National Petroleum Council Committee on the U.S. Energy Outlook:

If the deficit in our balance of trade in fuels should run as high as $25 billion, we would need to increase our exports by roughly 40 per cent, a quantity equal to about IV4 times the total volume of goods^ Japan is now moving into the world marfcatsi

Qwly, such a challenge is one that the United States could fail to meet, if not because of a failure to produce such a vdume of goods then because of the

inability or refusal of the rest of the world to absorb them.

The most popular alternative among energy suppliers is to encourage domestic production. These are among the suggestions McLean made last m<xith to the American Chamber of Commerce in London:

%)eedier approvals of nuclear power plant sites.

Relaxation of price controls on natural gas.

Opwiing up of the Outer Continental Shelf to exploratory activities.

Improved tax and other economic incentives for natural resource development.

But thats only one point of view. Illustrating the (ttlemma, ev7 one of these suggesUons can be attacked, as they have continually in the past, by legislators, consumers, ecologists, homeowners and so on.

And while the country seems paralyzed by the awesome, painful decisions it miist make, the trading power of the dollar-its energy, so to speak drains away.
