Some Relief For Congested^Street

"Ah-h-h. There's Nothing Quite So Cheerful

As An Open Fire"

/

We would hope that actual construction on improve^ ments to E. Tenth Street will come quickly.

A' survey team has begun work on the thoroughfare. This survey is expected to take about three nrwnths. Then final planning it to be done and the project let for contracts.

The plan now is to install a 52 foot street from Lawrence to ^ U.S. 264 bypass with curb and gutter. Plans for handling pedestrian traffic at College Hill Drive will also be made. ,

It is encouraging that the Tenth Street project at last seems to be underway. This street has long been known as one of the most congested in the city. Over the past few years huge dormitories have sprung up south

If the federal court should rder reapportloiunent under the U. 8. Supreme Court's **ooa tnaa-tma vote" ruUng, the Oan-eral Assembly wauld have to redistrict itself and redraw congressional dtetrict lines before next May. In the absence of a constitutional amendment adopted before then, such re-dlstrictlng of the present 120-member state House of Representatives would leave a number ot the states smallar counties without direct repre-sentaU<m In the legislature.

HELP The only way to avoid this, apparently, would be ado;41on of an amendment to the state constitution Increasing membemhlp in the House to 150 or 160 or authorix-lug the General Assembly to Increase the membership of the Rouse as H tees fit-

Without the suggested oon-ttlmtloiial amendment, any House retpportionment would have to be within the limita-tioQ ef 110 members aj^xntlon-d by population at nearly equal at poasible among the 100 oountlea.

8en. Xd Kemp of OuUftml Omf la one who feels being able m tnerease the member-ah^ of the House would be of Crei^ help tn edvtni the big-test legislative reapportion-ment it>hlem the Genend As-scmWy would face.

The Houm la whart the big problem Is,** lUmp says. And that iHoblem nas Its real roots In unwillingness to strip any county or group of counties of even one state reixesentatlve.

In light C this. Kemp ays, I think the governor would be wise to eaB a special aessUn at an early date."

PLANS -- In iddltl(m to the presa of time, another drawback to ealling an Imnmdlatt cpedal session of reamx>rtiQo-ment la a lack of study and an aheence of reconunended plana fur doing the job.

One or two individual lawmakers. including Kemp, hat prepared tentative reapportlon-ment plans during the regular session Isst luring but held them back feu* lade of support. Therse plans dealt with House apportionment. There are also a few suggested plans for ahift-Ing counties if four ci the statfA 11 congressional districts the First and Second, Sixth and Eighth which might meet "one man-tme vote requirements on population parity. But none of these have been pro-PMI formally nor widely dis-cttuted.

RANOS - R la also possible that S(xncthing mote will have to be dime about IRate Senate redlstrlctlng.

Despite the Senate radls-trlcUng in a special session In Octd)er, IMS. thsre is still a disparity In population of senatorial districts rug 1 n g from 65,7 to 127,074. Mathe-mftlcally, etch of the 80 senatorial (Ustrlots should contain 91.1 people.

The population imbalance In the House Is far more glaring largely beomse the most reoent House reapportlooment In 1961 allowed for geographic distribuUim at liast one seat for each of the 100 counties with th additional 20 seats allotted to the bigger counties on a population basis.

Strictly according to population. each member of the House would represent 17,968 persons. The actual range is frto 4.520 to 82.059 the populations of . tiny '^rreU and that of rapidly growing Wayne, each ^th one representative.

For the states congressional districts, the average should be 414,195. The actual range 1 from 277.861 to 491.461.

DIM Most state legislators and legislttive leaders say they would prefer that the General Assembly work out the reapportionment problems without a mandate frcmn the federal courta, "We should have faced up to It, but no one wants to," says one prominent lawmaker privately. "We saw It coming and now the time to do anything Is short."

Some faint hope was held out last Spring and during the summer that CHmgress might approve propoeAli which would permit an etler solution.

That hope waa dim all al(mg and. according to Sen. B. Everett Jordan, haa now vanished entirely for tMs session of Congress. Jordan says leglslaUve> and congressional aiHJortlonment (dans will be held over along with some other ttlgMy controversial measures increasing the minimum wage MOd expanding coverage of the wage and hour law and federalizing oi state unemployment compensaticm programs.

CONGRESS The challenge to present congresaslonal district alignment In Nwth Car-oUna comes practically on the eve of next years elections In which contests are predicted la at least six dlstrtcU.

**"6T tenth and this has brought on WtflW(foul pedestrian problems as students make their way from the dorm area to the classroom area.

It has also increased traffic congestion where College Hill enters Tenth. Add to this the traffic flow on Elm and the crush of traffic on Tenth.making its way to the residential areas In East Greenvilla and you have a king size headache.

We hope planning for improvements will be expedited. We also hope the project will be planned for the future. Even more dorms are scheduled for College Hill Drive and even now a subdivision for more than 300 homes is being opened east of Greenville. These projects cannot help but add to the traffic problem on ^Tenth.

We would also suggest that the State Highway Department consider widening Tenth west from Lawrence as a four lane thoroughfare. If this is not done a bottle neck Is bound to develop.

At best, however, Improvements on Tenth cannot begin too soon.

Crab Industry Should Not Be Discouraged

North Carolina's crab packing plants have wisely decided to end their shutdown In protest of the Increase of minimum wages they are required to pay, and get this important Tar Heel Industry back into operation.

The shutdown of the plants which came earlier this month affected not only the plant workers, but many fishermen throughout the coastal area. In time It would have had a disasterous effect upon an Important part of the seafood Industry that is so Important to North Carolina.

There is no doubt that the packers will continue their protest against the increase In the minimum wage of $1.25 they are required to pay workers. It may be that they will receive from the federal government the exemption they seek from the federal minimum wage law. Be that as it may, however, the crabmeat packing Industry is and will continue to be important to North Carolina.

State officials as well as processors should continue to exert every reasonable effort to see that the industry continues Its operations In the coastal area of North Caro lina.

STRESA. Kaly - American tourists seem to be spending as tl^y please- all over Europe, quite as li President Lyndon Johnson had never said anything last winter about seeing America first. But this la quite in line with Washing-twis real policy, which is to let enough dollars go abroad to enable individuals, as distinct from nations, to live and proeper. The "let the dollars move" atmo6i*ere Is evidently due to the persuasiveness at the White House of Senator Eugene MoQirthy of Minnesota. who is unimpressed with the tiieory that international payments must always be close to balance.

The 20 years since World War n have seen a greater transformation in the composition of the world than any similar period In history.

A multitude of new nations came into existence; colonialism all but ended; the devel-otmient of nuclear weapons has made all previous weapons look like matches; man haa moved into ^>ace; Russian communism and the Western world went through breathless moments in tests of strength and both sides became mature enough to forsake tensions, at least for a while.

But, (Mice they have built their arsenal of nuclear de-strucUon, they can abandon their studied role the reluctant dragon and begin to move far more dlrecUy than they have ever dared so far.

There'has been a lot of talk about President Lyndon B. Johnson's arm twisting when it comes to Congress, Iwt very little has been Mid about Mrs. Johnsons persuasive powers with that same body.

Rose Time' To Be Presented Here By Womans Club

Delightful musical comedy to be presented November 3.

(The Durham Herald)

In the continuing discussion of automobile liability inoir-ance costs, nothing, to our knowledge, has been said about the enactment ot a "guest statute" to limit liability for injuries to passengers.

North Carolina is one of 23 states which does not have such a law. Just over half the states, 26. have laws which prohibit a guest passenger in an automobile from suing the host to recover damages for injury except in certain in-tancex. In (Jeorgia. liability to guest riders is limited to gross negligence by court decisin.

Because of the steadily increasing number of accidents and the increase in both number and size of damage claims, the Insurance companies keep up a steady pressure ior an Increase in liability insurance rates. Certainly liability Insurance premiums must cover costs of claims, pay for opera-tl(3n of the comiMmy, and provide a reasonable profit for the Insurance company to stay in business. Unless some curb can be put on claims, such as was daie negatively in the failure to raise the minimum limits of reijulred liability coverage, there Is no dlrecon for insurance costs to go but up.

Enactment at a "guest

statute" would reduce the number of claims to an appreciable extent and thereby reduce the sums insurance companies would have to pay out. The (kegoa law. (me of the HrM enacted in the United States, furnishes an example of how such*a law would operate:

"No person transported by the ownero r operator of a motor vehicle as hla guest without payment for such transportati(m shall have a cause of action for damages against such owner or operator for injury, death or a losa, in case (tf an accidoit, unJesa such accident shall have been tnten-ticNial on the part of said owner or operator or caused by his gross neglig^ee or intoxication or his recklesx disregard of the rights of others."

Liability of an automobile owner for Injury to passengers invites abuses and even collusion on the part of owner and passenger at the expense <rf the insurance company. A "guest statute would not affect the medical payments coverage available. Such a law would not be Bmited in benefit to the insurance company, twjt would be of advantage, through a reduction In inmirance costs, to all who buy automobile liaMlity insurance.

"Ah spoke to Betty at hinch. She toid roe she waa sure that you would be able to work something out that would be satisfactory to all the women of America."

"Betty said that?"

"Yes, she said that she was surprised you hadn't done anything about the bill before now and she planned to discuss it with you tonight."

"Well, you-know, Mrs. Johnson, its fortunate you called at this moment because I was Just going over the bill with my staff. (Aside to secretary, "Look in the other files. The bills got to be somewhere.")

"Lyndon said you would probably get to it today or tomorrow and be suggested Ah wait untU you get It out of committee before Ah thanked you, but Ah told Win, Ah knew you were going to do the right thing and Ah wanted to thank you in advance."

CHAMBEBJLAPt

The feriing that "dollars must move" has formed the underlying motif of a distinguished panel Intematioial monetary thsbrists here at the Mont Pelerln (nferencc of economists. But it has been the only unifying thread that a laynum could gather from the separate voices. Between Professor htilton Friedman, of CWeago, and Professor M. Heilpertn, of Geneva, there was little ooimhon gioind aside from the idea that the present international money system la Mghly unsatisfactory. Professor Friedman, who believes in "free floating international exchange rates," considers various naticms' central bankers unCecessary; It is their "free floating International deformation" that makes them insist on trying to "play a part" In Influeotdng events. Friedman would let the citizens of all countries buy and sell as they please, using any acceptable currency supported by access to gold at free market priOM. Pnrfessor HeUper-In, on the other hand, would return to an old-fashioned gold standard at a new fixed price In gold for the dollar and other currlencies.

Since the nations Insirt on central banking institutions, and since there ts little im-medhite Hkehood of a return to the old-fasWoied gold standard, neither Professor Friedman nor Professor Hellperin is likely to he csHed Into instant consultation by statesmen. The actual inter-government deliberations between experts at the moment involve talk abou$ a proposed International monetary unit called tile "cm" or "conservative reserve unit," wMch would be a combination of dollars, pound, francs, and whatnot. In effect, the sanctioning by separate nationa of the "cru" would turn the economic fate of the world over to a supffir-bank designed to clip the power of all national central banks. The question then would be whether sovereign nations would be willing to put up with a money boss, a William McChesney Martin endowed with global powers.

The layman, listening to the experts, finds it hard to seo how the creation of a cru" can save the nations from the international conse(iuenoes of domestic policies of an inflationary nature. Any anlt-pov-f erty program that Is paid for in an unbalanced national budget would be bound to creat# a distrust of at least a portion of the Internatlon "col-tective reserve unit. In other words, we are always brought back to where we start. A 'em" to be acceptable as an international reserve unit, would be (miy as good as Its component parts. But, asum-inx the acceptability of its components It would not bs needed.

It all comes back to common sense at home in ths endand common sense is what pressure groups rerist when they are fighting for control^ of national policies. The (Continued On Page 5)
