Rock, as spokesman and state chairman of the alliance, is touring centers of Reinit^-can strength in the state drumming up anpport for the alliance. He is issuing policy statementa and explahihig aims of the conservative group, hut is staying clear of the vacant chaimmnship (taeettm.

This neutrality no doubt is designed to avoid furier friction between the conservative alliance and state pviy leaders and also to project an image of the alliaiM^ as an integral. non factloiml parallel to the regular state OOP or-ganlzatioa.

CANDIDAT&8 - The State Republican executive committee will meet aometime next month, on call of vice ehalr-man HTs. A. E. Veityla of Lenoir, to elect a suewssw to resigned chairman J. Berman Saxon of Charlotte.

One already announced candidate for the post la O. Wn Steele Jr. of Duxhtm, an Insurance executive who<;la Durham County OOP chairman and a member of the atate executive committee.

Stoete ia behig badEed by Sixth District RepubUoan leaders and by other influential Piedmont Repubdeam. He la regarded aa acceptable to most. If not aH, of the present party leaders.

Others meodooed for possible consideration include Marcus Hickman of Oiarlotte. Worth CoVknxm of Asheboro and State Rep. Jamea Hoshoiia-

er of Boone. Neither of the states two OOP members of Congress, Reps. Charles H, Jonas or James T. Broyhlll, has publicly endorsed any Individual tor the post.

QUAUFT Both Jonas and BroyhiU, however, have had aomethlng to aay about quai-ficaUons of tha new chairman.

Jonaa aaki that anyone acceptable to me muR have organizational ability and the time to do the necesaanr things required of a state chairman. I dont think this man tould be Just a caretaker.

BroyhiU said he thinks highly of Steele and that he Is a fine pmon. While stopping short of endorsing Steele, he said he felt It wouM be good for the new chairman to come from the Piedmont.

ALLIANCE - Rock, mean-whUe. has disclosed that the conservative alliance which he Iwads has drawn up a list of candidatee aceepialm to it to oppose Sen. B. Everett Jordan next yew.

In addition, he aaid. *'l am not a candidate for any political offioe. I do not foresee a set of clrcomstances under which I would ha a candidate. There have been reports that Rock himself might run for the U. S. Senate hi 1966 under the conservative banner.

The fact is thi^ we have a list of four candidates for Mr, Jordans seat. The executive committee has agreed upon

in order. My name is not on the list.

STATEMENTS in the first of wb*t he aaid W1 be a series of statements by tte alliaoee of conservative Re-putUicaxui, an approved by the group! executive conanlttce. Rook said we think the Speaker Baa Law abould be r^ahwd.

We alao think that people who favor retaining the ^ak-BT Ban Law should have been bettM* represented on the study cwnmiMlon. We feel that those opposed to repealing the law must be given a full opportunity to appear and be heard.

The aUiance further believes that the rlgbt to work section of the national labor re-latlmui act Mioold remain in effect, Roek aaid. Congress is expected to vote out this section in the next few days.

He added that the alliance wUl later issue a statement <hi voting rights. *We believe every qualified dtlzen should have the right to vote Init we think that elimination of educational requirements from qualifications for voters is a disservice to all voters of this state and tiie country.

We are particularly glad to see that the already overburdened Stabillzzation Corp. ig getting only a small part of the tobacco. Thia is a trend which we hope will continue, not only on the Georgia and Florida markets, but also on the Border Belt and our big Eastern Belt when the selling season opens.

It is our hope that the higher prices will continue in Georgia and Florida. We would like to think that it gives some indication of how prices will run on the Eastern Belt. As long as prices stay above the supports, farmers will be more satisfied, their areas more prosperous and, most important, consumers will begin to use up some of the surpluses which have been built up.

WASHINGTON (AP) The umbrella of tranquility always atands above relations between the Prerident and Congress and keeps them from getting overheated.

That must be the Impression of anyone who came of age In the past 12 years which have be^ a rather tranquil time in dealings between the man in the White House and the men In the <^pltol.

But it wasn't always that way. It wasnt that way under the presidency of Franklin D. Rooeevelt and of Harry S. Truman who had some monumental battles wi^ Ceogrees.

President Dwight D. Elsenhower took office in 1953. Hia policy was simple: Dont say anjrthing to Irritate the men on the hill.

This pretty much deprived them of a chance or a reason for firing back at him. President John F. Kennedy continued the p^cy. and Prerid en t Jbhn^ hm made a big production of It, and a successful one.

In these first seven months of his first term Johnson has been enormoily free of criticism except for aome advice by Republicans on how to win the war in Viet Nam.

Johnson plays all the angles to avoid criticism. For example, in the way he announces a decision.

One of the very best ways to cause yourself misery, if you were president, would be to let Information leak out on a decision you had made before you announced it.

It would give the critics ranging from the truly concerned to the dlsencbuited. The discontented, and the garrulous a chance to open up on your b^ore you made a decision known.

Johnton has done Just the opposite tqr making mirprise annoimoements, and the absence of critklam shows it has worked well for him.

For examine: there w a a praise from all sides when he suddenly revealed he had plucked Justice Arthur J. Goldberg off the Supreme Court to make him .S. ambassador to the United Nations,

The generally high regard for Goldbetg can be considered the main factor in this wide public approval. But there was another: once the announcement was ma^, criticism couldnt have meant much.

But JohiMSfm could have expected screams about letting the court alone If, in order to learn public opinion, he had leaked a hint of Ws Goldberg appointment beforehand.

And, once it had happened.

for ever after some residue of this <Uscontrat would have clung to Johcaoo and Goldberg.

This kind of trial btDoon buslneaa leaking informa-^ tion on a pending decision to take the pubHc pulse Is an old technique of politicians and presidents but Johnson has done little or none of it.

He just leta the publio muU over an accomplished fact, knowing that if his decision, say in a new appointment, is good, there wont be much room for ^he critics anyway.

The J(^msobian <doak of silence until the last minute has another priceless advantage for him: maximum sur-Wlse and therefore maximum attention frwn people who might have said so what?

If they had heard rumors about it.

Johnson has had few reasons to make unpleasant announcements Imt whoi he does, it seems % aafe guess to expect him to do it a bit at a time, instead la one Mg jolt, until the public gets adjusted to it.

This is what he did In sending troops into the mklst of the Domlniean Republic*# rev-olutlcm. Several days passed before he got around to saying the troops were being used not only to save Americans on (Continued on page $)

The American government announced today that 1,000 U. S. troops have just landed in South Viet Nam. These 5,000 men will be used to protect air fields and vital installations around Saigon, though officials did not rule out that the 15,000 combat-ready soldiers supported by 10,000 aviation personnel would be iud to take the fight to the enemy.

An Army spokesman said that tiie 35,000 tro<H> landing was carried out by plane and sea and that the 50,000-man force, which did not Include as armored division landed earlier in the day, would for the moment constitute enough men to handle the situation. A Defense Department spokesman said:

If in the iwar future we discover that these 150,000 men

are not enough, we will send in more tiws, but it is un-Ukely, as 200,000 GIs should be sufficient under present fighting conditions.

A newspaperman arited ^ the sending of 300,000 fresh troops at this time meant that the U. S. was escalating the war.

No. he reeled, it means no such thing. We always intended to send in 400,000 troops and this is just part of a military build-up. In a guerrilla war, It 1 assumed the ratio o troops to the guer-. riUas is 10 to 1. Since we estimate that there are now 50,000 guerrillas in South Viet Nam, our decision to send in SOO.POO more soldiers is not unrealistic.

Another reporter asked if the United States intended to

get bogged down In a ground war in South Viet Nara, some-tiiing that every American military leader had advised against.

The answer to your question is negative, the spokesman said. Our job from the beginning has been to give as much support to the South Vietnamese army as we possibly can. With the arrival of these 700,000 GIs, we can release the South Vietnamese army for major missions.

Vfith good reports ftmm Ihe opening of tiie Georgia tobacco market yesterday, the outlook for the North CaroUna and South Carotina markets Is very encouraging. TtMs average on tiie Georgia market is rc-p<H*ted to have been between eighteen and nineteen cents per pound despite the fact that the tobacco in that state is sold in bulk ungraded. This should mean an average o from one to three cents more per pound in this eecUon which urith the large production this year points to a wave of prosperity the coming falL

(Hendersoa Daily Dispatch)

Only a few years ago, radio listeners across the country were shocked and many frightened by a program simulating a landing by inhabitants of Mars on the earth. To add glamor and excltcmait, the supposed invaders from a planet millions of miles distant from the earth were represented as vicious, violent and destructive. Many who were timed in on the unannounced program breathed a sigh of reltef when it was explained that what had been heard was only a make - believe attack.

Nothing of the sort has been sittempted since then, and certainly television has not offered such fantastic pretense. But the situation now is revemed and this time in actuality, except that no one is aboard the rocket that is speeding toward Mars and is due to whiz past the big outer space planet cm next Wednesday. It has been enroute since it was launched last November, and all this time has been racing through millions ot mes of the Universe at what is recognized on the earth as almost unbelievable speed.

The r(xket is not supposed

to crash upon lyl&rs, but merely to radio back to tracking stations here electronic signals that it is hcHied will give some indication of what Mars is like and whether it is inhabited by living creatures. The missile is said to be on schedule and directly oa its course, and already sending Ixick signals which indicate it is nearing its objective.

It will be left to scientists to interpret the electronic signals. Such pictures as may be pieced together here may have meaning for them. But for the unscientific layman no more will be learned than from the photographs pro-Bced by the rocket which a few months ago hit the moon but sent back its rignls before cracking up.

At best, this Is only an experiment. It may and iwoba-Wy will afford mcMre Intricate knowledge of the planet Mars, scores of millions of miles in the dim, distant regions M Gods Universe. But ne-thing definite one way or another is anticipated as the rocket reaches its destination. Its revelations will be awaited with the keenest Interest for whatever they may be worth, If anything.

Isnt It true that the South Vietnamese government has requested that the American soldiers take over the fighting, while the South Vietnamese regroup and help the people in the villages? There was some talk of that, but the decision will have to be made in Washington. AlthiHigh we now have 800,000 more American troops, it is still our hope that we fight side by side with the Vietnamese soldiers.

"Sir, the rumor is that the South Vietnamese army may soon switch roles and become advisors to the American troops?

The South Vietnamese have offered to cooperate in any way they can. Perhaps at a future date they may take a mwe active role, but you must remember our latest commitment Is only 900,000 men and we have no intention of raising it unless the situation warrants it.

Someone said to the Army spokesman: Of the 950,000

men landed this morning, how many of them are combat-trained as opposed to service troops?

Its hard to say. By the way, gentlemen. Ive just been asked to correct the figure I gave you earlier. A million Americans were landed this morning and will be used mostly as an advance force to set (Continued on page 5)

THE COMING CLASH BETWEEN BEAUTY AND COMFORT Both major political partes seem to have agreed on the desirability d a Great Society, federally supported and socially secured by payroll checkoffs. So this should bring an end to contrwersy. The truth of the miUter, however, is that controversy is only beginning.

For one thing, there is going to be a big struggle over whether the Great Society should exist on a beauty standard or a comfort standard.

The beauty standard people are now having their innings. They want to abolish overhead transmission wires in the green countryside. They are against the use of coal and oil to make electric power, for coal and oil create noxious fumes that pollute the atmosphere to the point where merely breathing in New York or Chicago for twenty-four hours is equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes a day. They want to keep factories from dumping waste in streams, and they want to pump the dirty water out of Lake Erie and fill the place up again with clean water that wDl support seilf^espectliig fish.

JOHN CHAAIBERLAIN

Well, this columnist has nothing against the beauty standard. He would like to live in a world In which everything looks like the Grand Te-tons or the gardens at Ver-sailtes. But life is compromise and there are points where the beauty standard and the comfort standard clash head-on.

I became acutely aware of this the other day when I took some problems to a friend who works for a big power company. He was in a lugubi-ous you cant win mood. A little old lady in tennis riioes had scarified him for wanting to run some high-tension wires across the landscape in full view of her house. He tried to explain to the little old lady that the bu^ess of putting those wires underground from a power plant at the coal mine mouth to the big cities of the East Coast would make the land look like a strip mine operation for months on end and would raise the cost of electricity to the point where people would have to go back to candles and coal cl lamps. Would the little old lady liks that?

Thinking of a compromise that might suit the little old lady, my friend said the beauty criterion might be met if electricity were to be generated in cities by atomic power. Oh. no. said the little old lady; that would be too dangerous, and besides, where are you going to dump all the radioactive wastes? And coal and oil burned in the city would give everybody emphysema. At this point my power company friend thcmgbt we might all be better off If we were to go back to the cave. Only there arent enough caves to go around.

Most of us want beauty without going back to the days d the coal oil lamp, which wasnt so ^autiful, after all^. The fact ^that the beauty standard quarrels with the comfort standard in everyone of us in varying degrees means the beginnings of a new politics. not the cessation of all politics.

Oh, we arc going to see some bitter ^hts! Those chemical companies that pollute the streams make things which people want. Can we afford to add the cost of clear streams into the price of chemicals? How much are Cleveland and Toledo willing to pay for purging Lake Erie?

SUBSTANCE AND SHADOW^

Someime has aaid or written that the worst and most prevalent sin in the world la the substituting of abadow for substance. We have in ideal. It seems unattainable. We take its shadow and let its substance pass by.

This is a way of saying that second best decisions are worse than no decisions. Better to keep the mind <x>en and come to no decision at all than to make a decision which represents compromise. Be ye perfect, said Jesus even as your Father In heai-en is perfect. He Himself was the only on who ever lived up to that ideal. But He gave It as the only workable guide for a humanity that 1 trying to pull

itself up out of the mire.

The great of the world have never aooepted abadow for substance. The world looked in wonder and read with awe tome years ago of tbe new discoveries tiuU came out of the laboratory operated by the great inventor Edison. Washington could bava quit and all miUtafy men would have told htan be should quft a doeen times bef(xo be finally came to triumph. Henry Ford was regarded as just plain cra^y trybig to make an an-tomobUe ao cheap that working men could buy it.

Dont eettle for shadows. Ht^d out for the substance which casts the shadow. Dont take second best. Unhappiness and defeat.lie at the end of that road.

By ELMER ROESSNER Maybe we Americans have been kidding ourselves. Ever since the end of World War n we have been concerned about financing college educations for the vets and war babies.

The GI Bill of Rights puts the ambitious World War and Korean vets through coltege. Sin< then there have been both government and private campaigns to finance college educations for their younger brothers and sous. How to Get Money for OriJege has been a sensationally successful newspaper feature.

Now Robert J. Keir, president of two C.I.T. Financial Corp. subsidiaties, gently raises the point that we may have been putting the cart before the horse, or the dollar before the boy.

INCOME PRODUCES CANDIDATES Keir suggests that while the baby boom may have ardded to the surge of college applicants, out of the greater rea

sons may be the rise In per-sonal incotiie.

As family incomes have risen during the years in which war babies have been growing up to college, more and more fiimUies have found it possible to send their children to col-lege, or at least to get them started in college, Keir said. The Increase in average family income is even greater than tbe acknowledged rise in the cost of attending college and this situation is expected to ctmtinue in the yeara to come.

Kf-MEl

ROESSNER

As a consequence, he said, the rittio of college enrollment to the total population of 12-

to-21-year olds has risen from 16 per cent in 1940 to 40 per cent now, and is expected to climb to 53 per cent by 1974.

Since business is broadening in search for college graduates, be said, it seems only fair that business increase its aid to colleges and universities, he said.

This could include direct financial contributions, which business is already contributing at a rate of $250 million a year, and non-financlal contributions.

DIPLOMA OR UNEMPLOY-MENT COMPENSATION

The increase In family income also has resulted In a strengthening of the widely held feeling that a college diploma is a must for young people, Keir said. This pressure for a degree undoubtedly wIlL increase in tbe future as more and more young people enter col^e, he added.

In fact. Department of Commerce projections indicate that 15 per cent of the nations populatisn or 35 years ud over in 1985 win have

comi^eted four or more years of coUege, Keir pointed out. This Is nearly double the 8 per cent figure in the i960 census.

Keir is president o the Tuition Plan, Inc., pioneer firm in the field of financing education on tbe installment plan.
