And then we have the great cities of America, such as New York, Chicago and Phlla-deli^la, which have paced tltt growth (rf OUT nation. The greatness ol the dtles win, ot course, continue, but many of them must be reborn if they are to survive and continue to symbolize the dvUlsatlon that we hope to build.

There are oUter cities which

porate limits.

Expenditure of the funds, as spelled out, can go a long way toward eliminating some serious street problems in every Pitt municipality.

Thoroughfares which are now too narrow to carry traffic brought into towns by state highways, can -be widened to make them more usable. The earmarked funds can help provide better streets for highways within the communities.

Thus it can be seen that Pitt Countians will not be voting a $800 million bond issue to be spent entirety in otiier areas of the state. A portion of the money will be spent almost at our ironf doors. And when a state mantalned street is improved it benefits almost everybody because these same streets arc generally used by citizens in travelling from one side of town to anotherT

There are many reasons to vote for the road bond issue next Tuesday. High among them is the fact that the funds will alleviate many local street problems that will only worsen otherwise.

So. when I have the oppor-tuni^ to speak to the representatives of the cities and towns of the state, 1 feel that 1 am talking to a cross ectiOR North Cut>lhta, representing til phases of our eemomle and social Ufe.

I have sp(Aen oi the ^ift of population from rural to urban oommunlUtti. I think I Should point out in this connection that the dividing Ihie which has heretofore existed between rural and urban thinking is not as clear as it used to be. With the coming of radio, television and hotter roads, and faster transporta-tion we do not have the sharp ''dilftrenee in thinking that we had a quarter of ^a century age- Ihmept for remote and rather Inaccessible eommuni-tlea, our rural and uiban people are now much closer to-gethar in phUosophy. This, I Urink. Is good, because It fore-shadows Utt unity ^ our peo-pte aa we press forward In the wist development of our state.

had great influence upon our culture. X am thinkkig paitl-cularly of Bt. Augustine, Charleston and New Orleans each makes a unique ocm-tribiition to our thinking about America. And here in North Carolina each city and town has a special message to cm-vey, whether it be the tiny town (rf Bath or our greatest city named for Queen Charlotte.

GROWTH In America,

wir cities began to develop swiftly at' the turn (rf the century. They grew without much plan or purpose, and America was thrilled by their sheer size, amazed at their crowded confusion and shocked St the squalor and magnificence that flourished side by side. Except for a few public parksgrass, trees and flowers were destroyed In the expansion of the cities In what has been aptly called an ex-plosimi of concrete, brtek, steel and stone.

The mlstMces of early builders were confirmed by those who built later. As millions of our people began to move to the cities, the lack of far-sighted planning beotme evident. I dont mean to say that there were not those who struggled to pregervi some beauty and sainty in the con-stniction of our cities, btit they were voices cryteg in the wilderness as the cities piled error upon error. By the 1920s the pattern of the great eitlos was set their centers and their hearts were dark with towering iricyscrap-era.

They are faced with congestion of traffic, the pollution of the air and with general deterioration at their centers and are now stniggiing to clear away slums and to redevelop in order to bring more Ught. more beauty, more haw>inss to their teeming millions. Whole blocks of budlngs are being demolished and ambitious idans are underway for tree-bordered malls garnished with flowers. Around these malls are being constructed a complex of new buildings both

7o Speak Again

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP)--Ml8s-ing for months has been a detailed address to the natlcm and thus to the world by President Johnson on the alms and actions of American foreign pdllcy.

He has made such explanations in the rest, particularly 1 this countrys role In Viet Nam and the Dominican Republic, when the United States was Initlsting or stepping up aetion in those jdaees.

This was especially true last spring when he considered it necessary to send 22,000 troopa into the Dominlren Republic.

But tension fkially dwindled there, American action In Viet Nam although greatly Increased had lost its novelty, and more and more of the Presl-dent*a time was taken up with getting bis programs through Cbngrees.

And for months now be has not attempted a lengtlm, detailed, and' carefully reaaoned exjdanation to the world. Thus be left a vacuum and the critics of AmericsjL foreign policy stepped into it. '

The criticism has come not )ly from abroad but from American school campuses and not only frcan Republicans In Congress but, much more vehemently, from some of Johnsons own Democrats there.

In particular one Democrat, Sen. J. W. Fulbrlght of Arkansas. chairman of the Senates Foreign Relations Committee. attacked American policy in the Dominican Republic, and another. Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon, has been a thorn to Johnson on Viet Nam.

And protests on college campuses, even though only a minority (tf students was involved, have reached the point of Paredes and demonstratio n s. All this is ammunition for An> erlcan critics abroad.

Two nights ago the need for a single, careful, authoritative American voice meaning the Presidents to discuss American foreign ptilicy was Illustrated by the CBS televl-sl(m show, "Town Meeting of the World."

Through a satellite relay students In London. Belgrade, Paris and Mexico City were able to areear 00 television to qestlon former President Dwight D. Elsenhower, Arthur J. Goldberg. U. S. ambassador to the Umted Nations, and Bo llcitor General Tburgood Man-shall.

It was an unsatisfactory performance all around and, 00 the part of the students, a hostile one. Amid sneers and apparent contempt the stude^;s qulzaed the three distinguished Americans about this countrys policies in Viet Nam and the Dominican Republic.

Some ot them were arrogant, some talked too much, and many of their (luestlcms, because of their poor English or transmission difticulties. were not clear.

The three Americans although Marshall said little and seemed angered by the attitude oi the questioners were sometimes too long, rambling or platitudinous.

And they certainly werent always on the beam even though the (juestions themselves were part of a now familiar pattern of criticism of American policy.

This was hanUy the way ki which American foreign policy can be explained or understood and absorbed at home or abroad. The program made it clear that tlw need for such explanation can be filled by no one as well as Johnson.

Yet. because of the need for some peace and quiet to recover from his recent (^ration, Johnson is not likely to take the airways aoon.

In the years ahead Johnson probably will have to take time out for a number of such worldwide explanations for the criticism now, although mounting. Is not basically new. It Just takes new forms.

Johnson himself recognlz e d the repetitiousness of it when he said earlier this year;

"I am the most denounced man In the world. All the Communist nations have got a regular program on me that runs 24 hours a day. Some of the non-Communirt nations Just kind of practice on me."

NEW YORK (AP) -Women get more sympathy in life than men.

This Is because they have learned the truth of the saying, "It pays to advertise."

As Henry David Thoreau pointed out early in the last century, most men "lead lives of quiet desperation, This is why their plight gets little general pity.

Women, on the other hand,

tend to lead lives of noisy desperation. Thus they lay claim to more sympathy and they get It.

When a woman suffers ol loss In life, she announces It sod complains aloud about It to high heaven. She Is immediately surrounded by s 01 a c 1 ng friends and neighbors who teU her sb- must calm down, take It easy, drink some tea. and have something to eat.

Saying T reason

Wht. a man iffers a loss, he usually must face his misery alone. He Is upposed to take it in Spartan silence, and evB his oldest male friends are embarrassed to mention It. He must suffer by himself, and pull himself together with little outside help.

These thoughts are stirred by a rash of articles in womens magazines about what one called "the empty arms syndrixne."

This describes the ^ predicament of many a middle-aged mother after her children are grown and flown. She misses her nestlings, and life seems empty and purposeless without them.

(Rodky Mount Telegram)

A New York newspaper reported Tuesday that an American anti-dreft group known as the May Second Movement Is sending blood, first aid supplies and money to Jie Communist Viet Cong for use against American trooixs in the Viet Nam war. This ame movement was among those involved in the recent demonstrations agglnst American participation In the Viet Nam war.

The newspaper, the World-Telegram, said a blood donor drive has been organized in the movements west coast chapter, and blood and first aid materials already had been shipped to North Viet Nam- V *

The New York chapter of this movement plans to send blood dimated by its members to the Viet Cong through the Algerian National Liberation Front (another Communist outfit). The May Seccmd Movement has 17 chapters across the country, with the New York aty chapter having 200 mem-beni.

The Wcmld-Telegram (|uoted one unidentified Columbia University student, a member of the movement, as indicating the movement hi Michigan is actually training volunteers to Join the Communist forces In Viet Nam. The student, when asked about this report, said "Thats not far from he

truth."

In other words, *here are itfr (knts in this country who are providing material aid and comfort to the enemy, and some even plan to Join him In the war against American soldiers, their fellow citizens.

It is difficult for the averege patriotic American citizen to understand the signiticance of these acts.

What it bolls down to Is quite simple: treason.

These people are traitors to their country, government and fellow citizens. They are Inflicting harm on our way of Ufe as surely as If they were professional, dedicated espionage and sabotiLge agents of the Communist regime they are supporting.

What we want to know Is this: what does the federal government plan to do about It? While It wastes time on matters like the Ku Klux Klan and interfering with local election affairs, will It pennit these enemies of America to operate openly against It? Will it have these people brought into court <mi charges of tresr son?

And if there are no laws adequate to put these creatures behind bars, then pressure should be brought to bear on congressional members by the constituents to see that legislation is especially tailored for these domestic enemies of America.

By JOHN CHAMBERLAIN Copyright, 1965, King Features Syn(cate, Inc.

A document that has profound implications for our foreign policyor would have, if we had anyone who_ paid attention to such thingsh.'is reached Washington from within the Soviet Union. It is the notes taken of a talk given by the Soviet economist Agan-begyan at the Moscow publishing house Mysl. The notes have til puMsBiiT Widely In England, and have brought an unconvtncdng' "disavowal" through Tass, the Soviet foreign news service. One reason for not accepting the disavowal Is that Aganbegyan Is known to have submitted s larger brief to the Communist Central Committee in the effort oi his own group of eoomnnlsts In the Academy of Sciences to promote a more reliable quantified analysis" of the Russian economy. His talk In Moscow, was represented as a "summary" ol the original brief.

JOHN

CHAMBERLAIN

What Is Aguibegyan mf-Ing? He is telling us that central planning of the econo--my in Russia is in almost complete ccrllapse. The current seven-year plan has Just bera cut short. All the targets which the larger twenty-year plan was supposed to hit at the end of the first decade have not been approached "for even a single indicator." In the last six years the growth rate of Russian agriculture has fallen by nine-tenths, declining from eight per cent per year to less than one per cent. Retail trade, during the same period, has dclina by 7'5 per"

cent. The growth rate of the economy as a whole has dropped by two-thirds. Meanwhile, the population has been growing, forcing the real income of individuals lower and lower.

Aganbegyan discloses why statistics in the Soviet Union cannot be trusted. He says that the Russians have as many machine tools as the United States. But he adds that "only half our tools are working while the remainder is either not utilized or in repair. There are more workers In Russia engaged in repair work than in the building of new tools.

Few of the i^tistics for primary production have any real meaning in Russia, for the "slip between the cup and the Up is ikctlcally universal. Half the timber hauled in the Soviet Union Is lost, according to Aganbegyan. Prom the remaning half, the Russians produce one-thtrd of the U. S. total, one-fifth of West Germanys, and one-elghth of Swedens.

-The Soviet emjiioyment record is positively dismal. Says Aganbegyan, "In the coming years we shall have to find work for an army of ten million young people in the labor force. In the last two years there has been a significant rise In umemployment, particularly in medium-sized and smaU towns. On the average in such towns twenty-five to thirty per cent of the employable population wishing to work are unable to find Jobs. In large towns about eight per cent of the population are unemployed."

The seven-year plan was supposed to raise individual Uv-Ing standards. But for most of the population there has been no rise, and for ten million people the standards have actually fallen. In the midst of penury the mUitary. of course continues to get what It wants. American and Russian defense expenditures are approximately ecfual, but the Soviet economic potential is only half (Continued On Page 5)

Why Government Keeps Growing

By ELMER ROESSNER

ExplanaUims of whj government grows is offered in Sept. -Oct, issue of Challenge, a magazine pubUthed by New Y(nk University. The author is Michael D. Reagan, professor political Mience at the University erf Callfronla at Riverside.

Reagan, however, ovrlook two Impcurtant factors In his article.

His principal explanation of why governments grow Is that the people force them to lacrease their services, and that the growth of the population requires a growth of government. National security, he also points mt, also accounts for a large share <rf government expansion.

There Is no doubt that the professor is correct on these points.

"WE THE PEOPLE"

TO BLAME

"R is we the people who are expansionist; and it Is our democratio system that makes the government react accordingly," he wrote We demand more recreation fadll-ties, new school buildings, benefits for the uncmploircd, protection against dangerous drugs and countless other fatherly

services.

The voters are attracted ("to put the matter crassly, Prof. Reagan wrote) to the imrty that seems to be offering the best solutions.

"But even if there were no new programs, govern ment would continue to grow Just to provide existing services to a rising populatU which In Just 25 years has grown frcmi 132.5 mUliHi to 195 million." he wnrfe.

He added; "Taking those under. 21 and those over 65 together, we have 104 million persons. This leaves approximately 90 million in the economic productive age group of '21 to 65. Perhaps the fact that the latter group is non -ni-nority of the popublici mid, of course, u- (rom u.i. vL.this

group are unemployed largely explains the general increase in public services.

POINTS OVERLOOKED

He also points out that part of the increase In government is caused by the advances to technology, and the necessity of emplc^g them in water recovery, sihujc exploration, etc.

But he misses the facts that "empire building" and the desire to profit also tend to increase government costs.

Throughout--federal, state and loeil government, every pereon with a title works all day and dreams all night to build the importance of Job, authority. The fault may not be that <rf the individual as much as it is of the system. That is the chief way to pay rises.

Reagan loftily dismisses this point saying, One must either assume that all political leaders are empire , builders and that all legislatures are supine, or that there are soms deej?er reasons.

There are deeper reasons, but as a formr government employee I can teH ti pro-femes that not only mil political leaders, but ngiet of their

followers, are empire builders.

The desire for profit Is important. Under the last three Presidents, at teast, there has been a (sontlnulng stream erf revelations about corruption, most of it involving government costs or losses. This growth factor permeates state and local governments as well.

Three blcxsks from my 1 jme, one street crosses another at right angles. At this simple corner, Uiere are four traffic lights, though one would do. I dont know the government growth factor Involved, or who profited on the deal. But. Professor Reagen, in my neighborhood, trafflc lights are growing faster than the population.
