A Draft Call Is Not Really So Bad

Dove, Hawk and Lyndonbird

Announcement that Selective Service, in its Todays needs, of course, represent no search for manpower to fill military needs in the crisis in the real sense of the word. The conflcit coming months; will tighten up on deferment rules in Viet Nam i being handled by professionals and

should cause no undue dismay.

Worse things could happen.

Draft calls have reached the urgent stage on at least three occasions within memory; many millions of men have been called up in the past and present needs are miniscule in comparison with orises met and overcome.

Of

Main Points Obiection

By WILLIAM A, SHIRES

POINTS Two principal points of oblectkm to North caroUnts controversial speak* cr baz law have now been spotlighted by the laws opptments in public hearlnss by a special study coinmiaslxm.

They are:

That the law Interferes with governing boards of the states instiaiUons of higher learning.

Iliat It restricts Md interferes with academic freedom on the campuBiNi.

There have been further ar-gumenta, of course, as to wOiehcr It ia eonstituttonal.

There are other Issues and <iue8tl<jf involved, but the pertinent debate thus far hat hinged almost entirely on the two main points. They have been presented aeparatcly and stressed to a different degree hy opponents who testified during the two days of bearings.

BOARDS - The point stres sed by i^;>oke8men for the regional college accrediting agency. ttie Southern AssoclaUw of Colleges and Schools, was that of governing btMurds having the authori^ to carry out their respondbllky.

The chalrnum of the aaso-ciations Commistion on Colleges. Dr. Emmett B. Fields, based bis presentation almost entirely on the point that the ftpeak^ ban takes regulation of visiting speakers out of the bands of the boards ol trustees.

*VlLLtAM

IIItRES

The position of the executive council of bis commission. Field said, is that this ts po-lical interference'* with the board and eonfUet wtUi accepted standards for accreditation of the affected institution.

In It formal noti<^ of possible lose of accreditation last May 19, the executive council said "in so far ae the act removes from governing board learning in North CamUna their traditkmU authority to han-of tate intitutlOD of higher learning in North Carolina their learning in North Carolina their traditional authortty to handles much matters with admlnl-trative dlscretim it raises an issue of Interference with the neceseaiT authority of the boards.

FREEDOM Speaking for the American Asaociation of University Professor AAUP), Dr. John Dawson of the Harvard law school said the speaker ban Interfere "dratically with the autonomy and academic freedom of educational institution.

The AAUP attacked the speaker ban on two grounds ~ primarily as an invasion and violation of academic freedom unconstitutional.

To this extent, the proiemora w ent much further In flatly op

posing and denouncing t h e speaker ban than did the accrediting agency although the accrediting ctmimiesioi). at the moment, holds the bigger club.

Dawson and. other AAUP speakers touched <Mily briefly on the issue of where to place authority to regulate visiting speakers. But they urged outright repeal which would return authority to the governing b(^trd.

CONFINED ~ Fields confined his presentation to a statement of actions by the accrediting association and its ]:oeedures. although he dealt with efftcU of "this act of interference* thus far.

He stressed that the executive council, in making Its findings, "has not questioned and does not question the right of the General Assembly of North Carolina to pass, amend, or repeal any law it wishes, including the one which is the basis for the present contro-vemy,"

He declined to suggest what the study commission might recommwid or the legislature might do to remove the cloud of possible ICKia of accreditation.

He also dfditied to speculate on what the Commission on Colleges and its parent body might do in the way of withdrawing or suspending accreditation, but did promise "full hearings'* <xi the matter.

EFFECTS Fields said the executive council had found that there have been "detrimental effects wi the affected institutions because of the controverey.

He mentioned numerous protests and complaints that the ban is "a vlc^Uon of academic freedom. Resolutions by the governing boards and State Board of Higher Educa-tKm. he said, "make it clear that the boards And it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to prote<^ Intellectual freedom on the campuses under strictures of the speaker ban law.

He said pleas for redress have gone unresolved and have been met with owJosiUcm reflecting on the integrity of the boards and damaging to the morale of many ctf those directly responsible for higher education in the state.

NEEDED Advocatkig overthrow of the government by force is already a crime under a 1941 North CSuplina law a law am>lying to any public Ixiilding or institutlcm.

"Surely no more than this la needed," Dawson said. He added that the ^ AAUP "most certainly tum>orts the 1941 law.

Study chairman I>avid Britt asked Fields if he saw any difference between the 1941 law and the speaker ban.

Fields anefwered thM the "fundan^tal difference Is that one law applies to what is said, and the second to who says it.

One of the ban laws authors, Rep. Phil Godwin, said its sgKxuiors felt the 1941 law would not prevent a Communist or subversive from speaking on a college or university campus. "We felt It was needed to do this.

draftees of the foreseeable future are to fill out the ranks of units for other eventualities. We trust and hope their periods of military duty will be a boring interlude. Yet, even the most civilian-types can readily understand the necessity for the stepped up draft calls and preparedness measures.

The waste of wars is legendary.

Billions of dollars in equipment and supplies are provided, transported and

Stockpiled,

Consumed,

Destroyed, or even left to deteriorate at the four corners of the earth because the expense of bringing them home outweighs their value.

The most physically fit and the most mentally alert of a nations young men are killed or maimed; and at the very least, important years in the lives of aspiring young men are taken from them.

This last may be properly regarded as least* because in most instances we suspect the sacrifice is more imagined than real. An interlude in uniform shapes lives beyond measure. Many find themselves. All acquire memories of follies and small triumphs which are treasured all their years.

Add this to the record: each American c|tizen-soldier shares a bond, a heritage, a part in a vaguely sensed fraternity that has its roots in 1776.

Utilities Prove A Big Industry In Greenville

If anyone doubts that Greenville Utilities Commission is big business they have only to look at the 1965-66 budget approved by the commission last week.

It calls for expenditures of $4,021,937 during

the fiscal year. This obviously makes Greenville

Utilities a major industry for Greenville.

Practically all of this money will be spent directly in Greenville through salaries to employees, many supplies and other operating expenses. ,

What is more the commission returns hand- _ ,

some dividends to its stockholders, the taxpayers of Greenville. The commission will turn over adt di

$292,311 to the city government to be used for DUvJiWALI/

municipal services during the year.

In addition to giving the city a source of income, the turnover provides funds for services that cannot be financed with tax funds, under state law.

Recreation is an example of this.

Greenville Utilities is well operated and it

is returning dividends to the city. All Greenville citizens can be proud of this operation and the part it is playing in Greenvilles growth.

By WINFRED L. GODWIN

The ifloreased conoern of the American people with Latin American alfiairs ia noflect-ed in a new InstittUe of Inter-American Studies opening this September at the University of Miami, one of eight Latin American language and area centers to be established under the National Defense Education Act.

The University of Miami has been oriented toward La t i n American studies and events since its founding in 1926. Rs charter recognized Miamis unique location between the Americas as a vehicle for "promoting inter - Ameri can friendship and understand i n g for conducting research in the scientific, technical and social problems of the tropics.

Both graduate and undergraduate students at the new Institute of Biter - Amei'ican Studies will be primarily con-cenied with the shaping of American societies, the cultural heritage and setting of the Americas, the Institutional, ideological and natural forces working for and against hemispheric Interdependence and solidarity, the problems of modernization in develop 1 n g societies, and the conflicts and competition between international Communism and Western values.

Of the new Institute, University of Miami president Henry King Stanford says: We seek a genuine inter - American center where scIk)1 a r s from both hemispheres can pool their resources, fully explain and explore their differences and build sounder and more meaningful understandings.

"Further, we wl^ to provide a milieu in which both we and our Latin American colleagues can view ourselves and our common and separate problems In their world setting . . .the BnsUtute of Inter-American Studies alms at excellence in the whole range of world affairs.

Allied with the InMitute Is a new study - abroad program which will also be tnau-

of

gurated at the University Miami this fall. Under an arrangement with the Latin ian-erlcan program of the Great Lakes Colleges Assoclat 1 o n, U.S. students at the Miami Institute will be able to take <me or two seme^rs of Intensive study at Bogota. Columbia, as an interlude during the course of their work at U.M.

Living with a group of carefully chcen Columbian families, students will concentrate on Spanish, history, economics, political science, soclolc^y, anthropology, geography, international relations, literature and art. With all Columbian University credits applicable toward a degree In the U.S., the cost of the sojourn there will be no greater than that of a comparable period at the University of Miami.

Cuba and Ca^ro and, more recently, the crisis in the Dominican Republic, have abruptly and fearfully awakened the American people to the necessity of a close and understanding alliance with our Latin American neighbors. The new Institute at the University of Miami is encouraging evidence of the Involvement of higher education in a pressing national problem.

The professicxial football season got under way unofficially last week end with the College All - Star develand Browns game in CScago.

As I turned on the TV set to watch the game my wife said, How come they're starting so late this year?"

Now dont start a fight."

I warned. "It isn't my fault the game was scheduled this early in the year. I was willing to wait until September. But they must have had a very good reasim to start televising football In the middle, of August and I dont think were in a position to criti

"Im sure they have a good reas<m. my wife said bitterly. "Im just surprised tiey didnt start playing on the Fourth of July."

Now youre being melodramatic," I said. "Ive only got this game tcmight and the Wasb-ingt<m Redskin - Philadelphia Eagle game UHnorrow after-no<m. Ill see you the rest o the week.

"And what about the faU? "I havent figured that out yet." I admitted. "It isnt going to be as easy as last year but well work out aome sort of schedule, I may give

Are you sure you can make the sacrifice?

"Look, youre acting as if it was my fault. I didnt invent pro football and it wasnt my decision to televise every game that wUl be played in the country this year. If you want to get sore at sconebody, get sore at the networks."

"Nobody said you bad to watch every game they put on the air, she said.

Thats a stupid thing to say. The only reason they televise the games is for p@(^e like me. If I didnt watch Id be breaking faith with NBC. ABC and CBS. Im sure you

(Ricbmoiid News Leader)

Its a funny thing about Martin Luther King's Northern tour: ScHiiehow it wasnt Uke Sebna or the March (xi Washington, or even Montgon^ery where it all began. Out in Chicago, where the civil rights groups are pressing for the ouster of the local school officials and and end to de facto segrega-ticMi, he hardly made a ripple in the already muddy waters of the local situtation. And in Philadelphia, Dr. Kings scheduled paitlcipatlon in the campaign of continuing harassment of Girard College, the white orphanage, ran smack into the opposition of the local NAACT* leaderi^p. After first asking that King not come, they finally relented and he made a few perfunctory appearances outside Girard.

There were appearances by the Nobel Prize Winner, too, in Cleveland and finally in Washington where he arrived just in time for the signing of the newly passed Voting Rights Bill. King got an hour of the Presidents time and one of those countless fountain pens used to sign the Voting Rights legislation but that was abou all. The headlines were scarce, and even the usually sympathetic Washington Post could only come up with a story head

ed Northern Negroes Cool to Kings (Campaign."

Clearly, the hoopla 'the crowds, television, and fervor of Dallas County in April was lacking. Northern Negro leadership reportedly still respects Kings role in the Negro Revolution but they seem to prefer that he stay South, as far away as possible from their areas. Probably they realize there is nothing to be gained except possible antagonism from the kind of extended demonstrations that King conducts in the South. Perhaps, too, they resent an outsider intruding on what is, after all, their own operating ground, their "turf, to use the argot of the Northern city street gangs. Whatever their reason. King, on his Northern visit was about as welcome as a Kleagle of the Klan on a good will tour of Harlem.

The coolness of Northerners to King is ironic. It appears that they are adopting an attitude so often condemned In Southerners. King was, first of all, an outsider. Secondly, he was unfamiliar with problems of another region, a possible source of agitation. For Dr. King, the classification by the North was as quick as it was silent. He was, quite simply: Agitator, Outside.

Now that Senatorial Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, who has done a lot of things for I^don Johnson, has been double - crossed by the Administration on his reapportionment amendment (Hubert Humphrey lobbied against it, which ccmld only have happened with the White House negligently looking the other way), the Republicans might conceivably be in a mood to put some iron into their fight in the Senate to prevent repeal of the right-to-work clau^ 14"(B) of the Tail - HarUey Act. It all depends on whether Dirksens slow burn can be brought to the combust i o n point.

The repeader measure, which could have been Ucked in the House if ten of the twenty-on# defecting Republicans could have been shamed into turning around, is bound to hit the floor of the Senate before the month is out, for Lyndon Johnson has decreed ^t it must be so. It could be defeated, or filibustered to death, amended to the point of being imaceei^ble by the labor chiefs, If <mly a few key Senators would get fighting mad.

The unofficial count in the Senate shows tiat fifty - one Senators are tor dei1ving the States (rf the right to prohibit the union ^hop.-.>But oirely, among thCM c(mnltte#to repeal, there should be a critical number who are for amending the bill that was paescd in a thoroughly gagged House. Scone of the proposed amendments, if accepted, could do nmch to make repeal of 14(B) palatable to the nation, in which case the union bosses

JOHN CHAMBERLAIN

would probably be willing to dr<H> the whole subject. Even the liberal Republican Jack Javits of New York has some amending in mind. And there will be no gag rule applied in the Senate, as there was in the Itouee. The threat of a filibuster coidd I be used to clear the way for amendments even tbmjgh N(tbem and Western Republicans, in general, fend to reguti flUlHt^fer-Ing as a Southern device.

The six most Important pro-posed amendments are (1) a clause to grant exemption from compulsory unionism to anybody whose religion Is against it; (2) a proviMon that wouU legally prohibit and drastically penalize the use of union dues for political purposes; (3) a section barring union shop ccmtracts with unions whose offlcen had failed to file non - Cfemmunist affidavits; (4) a proviso that unions aspiring to union sh(^ status must be certified as bargaining agents by secret ballot elections, not by mere card checks; (5) a clause banning strikes to gain unicm shop recognition; and (6) a section that would prohibit union officials from disciplining members for exercising thetr legal rights to self - expreeeion or individual political action.

If fifty - one Senators cant be found to sn|^rt one or more of these amendment^ to a 14(B) repealer, then the ijpir-It of the Bill of Rights i& indeed dead.

Recourse to amending a 14 (B) repeal bill is better ian nothing. But it Is something of a come - down from the expectations of a few years ago, : when Donald Rlchtoerg was oonfldently calling for an : amaidment to the CSayton Act ? to make "the creation and ex- | erclse of monopoly powers by labor unions. . , .unlaw f u 1. i Mr. Richberg wanted Congress { to declare any form of com-; pulsory unionism to be a form of "invohmtary servitude" / (Continued on page 5) |

We live in an age of wonders. The modem comiHiter is a device so marvelous that even we ctf this sophisticated scientific age stand In awe before it. Infonnation fed in and results are arrived tat. Now they are able to work with scientific and financial facts. They expect soon to be able to feed into these machines medical diagnoses which will result in answers telling the physician things he most desperately wants to know.

Yet this age in which we live is by all odds the most dangerous humanity has ever confronted. For the first time in history we are fearful lest the race be swept off the planet. Our natiou could within an

hour be left a shamblee from the east coast to the west. Crimeespecially juvenile delinquencyis prevalent and (m the increase. 'There are several types of diseases which appear more prevalent now than in the past.

Yet we would all rather live in this age than in any past age. Por one reason, of course, we like the comfort of this age. But even beyond this there is a challenge j|,bout these days which is greater than the challenge of battle. A ten-year-old boy has just entered a mid - western university. Every day we pick up the paper we expect to read of some transcending discovery which will rid us of our wor.st diseases and social problems;

New car sales will hold up remarkably well despite the fac that the 1966 models are only remarkably well despite the fact that the 1966 models are only weeks away. Here are reasons why:

1. The cut In excise taxes has shaved retail prices.

2. The 1966 models wiU cost more. Extra safety features will increase prices. Anti-smog derices, mwidatory cm all new cars in OUfomla, will add $50 to the price of cars. Competition will recjulre r..anufacturere to Include this and other devices* in other states, and the probable Increase In steel prices later thi year will force other price rises.

3. Substantial discounts will be available until deMers clear preset stocks.

4. Many shoppers fear that escalation of the Viet Nam war or a steel strike wiU cut production of new cars.

probable that New York Oty will adopt water meters for

household users, and that other municipalities in Eastern drought areas-will extend their use of meters. The few companies making them are anticipating a substantial rise in sales. Meters for New York City alone would cost $1(X) million or more.

JAPAN BALKS AT COTTON PACT

U. S.Japan trade break:. Japan textile interests are urging their government not to renew the U.S.-Japan Cotton Textile Arrangement. The pact allows Japan to ship 311 million square yards of cotton fabric in 1965, about 60 per cent to finished goods. Japanese processors say they were led to believe their quotas would be raised, but Uds has not been the case. They are particularly incensed because Japan is the leading foreign buyer of surplus U.S. cotton.

Big seller: With the step-up of the war in Viet Nam, the new edition of the "UJS. Government Purchasing and Sales Directory is certain to be in demand. The 138-page book lists products and services that government ageles buy. and which agencies buy them, there are also chapters on how to sell the govenuuent, anl on government contractors and subcontractors, a guide for unsolicted proposals and, most important, and explanation of how to use the book- For copies, send 70 cents to the Superintendent of Documente, Washington, D.
