High Drama

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES

DRAMA There was poll tical drama up until the very moment the polished oak gavels came down and ended the 1965 sessictti of the Gener a 1 As.sembly.

And perhaps the best line spoken was that of a frustrated advocate of tax relief who said, the governor of North Carolina may not have the veto but it looks like the challan of Senate F^ance^doesT*

The plot for the final act concerned whether the lawmakers, thinking of adjournment and political fences back home, might go against the advice and warnings of Gov. Dan K. Moore and vote a conditional tax relief bill into law.

They didn't, although last-ditch attempts were made twice in the last two days to get this bill onto the Senate floor for debate and a vote.

DIED Both these attempts failed and the bill, already passed by the House, died In the pocket of Senate Finance chairman Frank Forsyth (rf Cherokee.

Forsyth became somethi n g of a late session legend by sitting through the frantic ma-neuverings silent, stony - faced and as imperturable as an Indian.

In fact, Forsyth's silent treatment and Indian signs (m this bill and another revenue-slashing measure earned him the nicknames of Cochise," and Sitting BuU and implacable Apache.

And Sen. Ed Kemp of Guilford, In grudging admiration, called him the stingiest Finance chairman weve ever had.

BILL The tax relief measure was one designed to boost state income tax exemt^wis from $300 per dependent to $600 on a scale geared to state revenue collections in excess of budget estimates.

It was a bill authored by Rep. Nick Galifianaks of Durham who had walted along the Raleigh - Durham high way one morning, flagged a ride with the governor in his big black limousine and beg g e d Moore to support the tax cut Idea.

The governor promised only that he would study the bill. But he told Galifianakis to go ahead and introduce it and see what happened. Galifianakis did so, enthusiastically, with Rep. Shelton Wicker of Lee and others also signing the bill.

OPPOSE Later, after consulting with fiscal advisers and revenue officials. Moore came out strongly opposed to the conditional tax cut and another bill to give cities and counties a larger percentage of state franchise taxes.

The governor said the t w o measures if enacted might cost the state as much as $35 million in revenue and pinch the treasury to an extent that new taxes might be necessary two years from now.

In addition, the governor was advised privately that enacting the two measures might endanger the states cred 11 rating and fiscal reputation.

Thei-e was some irony in this because Moore favors ta.\ relief having pledged i*e-peatedly during his campaign that, if passible, he would I'ecommend a tax cut.

He said as early as his budget message in March, however. that he had decided that the states pressing needs ruled out any tax relief at this session of the legislature.

POPULAR The governor, w'ho j|ot _his_ way on most things ^ring the session, wamed that the two bills were dangerous and would be a departure from the state's tradition of sound fiscal policies.

Despite these warnings, the two bills proved popular. The House passed them both. It approved the franchise tax bill 86 to 33 and shouted overwhelming approval of Galifianakis tax relief measure.

But across the rotunda, both bills wound up in Forsyths Finance committee and t h e senator from Cherokee refused even to call a meeting to consider them. This set the stage for the desperation, last-minute attempts to get the bills onto the floor.

FALL Forsyth sat impassively, cold - eyed, and watched the assaults on the power of a legislative committee chairman fall.

The first attempt required a two - thirds vote to overrule asslgnmeht of the franch s e tax bill to the Finance committee, and it fell far short. Then, when the tax relief measure came over by special messenger from tht House Lt. Gov. Robert W. Scott sent it to Sen. Roy Rowes calendar committee. A few minutes later. Rowe quietly moved. mentioning only the number of the bill and not Its title, that the bill go to Finance and this passed without a murmur at least until Galifianakis and Wicker heard of it. They stormed over and urged sympathetic senators to have Rowes motion reconsidered.

This failed, too. And finally. an hour before adjournment, the Senate firmly upheld its Finance chairman, voting 32 to 15. to defeat a motion by Sen. Cameron Weeks to bring the tax relief bill out of Forsyths pocket and onto the floor.

HIGH - Debate about the Senates stifling of the two bills In committee appears likely to go on.

One of the first criticisms outside the General Assembly came from former State Revenue commissioner Sneed High of Fayetteville, a former legislator and a Sanford administration appointee.

High, in a speech to Young Democrats in High Point, said the legislature should have enacted the tax relief bill because the state can afford It and the people are long overdue the relief "

He warned of political con-.sequences. The Democrat i c party will have to carry the cross for refusal to give this tax relief to the people. he said. The Republican delegation in the Hou.se voted for the tax cut, as did the Senates lone Republican. Boon Harding, on Weeks motion to bring the bill to the floor.

Early in the session it seemed the leadership of Gov. Moore may be the decidinj? factor in steeriiiK the course of the legislature. As the session wore oil. however, it became increasingly evident that the reins of leadership were firmly in the hands of a relatively small group in the Senate and the House. For the most part the leadership group worked closely with the governor, hut when the viewpoint of the legislative leadership differed with that of the governor on a few key issues, it was the viewpoint of the legislative leadership which prevailed.

Another evidence of strong legislative leadership throughout the session was the fact that most controversial measures were for all practical purposes decided by committees. When they came to the floor of the two houses, there was very little question about following the committee recommendations. The same leadership which steered legislation through the committees had the votes lined up in each house when the measures reached the floor.

More so than in most recent sessions of the legislature, leadership a.sserted itself fullv during 1965.

New Effort To Adapt Freshmen

By WINFRED L. GODWIN

A new program for easing entering freshmen over the difficult hurdle -from high school to college has been adopted by a number of Southern colleges and universities and may well herald a trend for the future.

Long used by the University of Alabama, the University of Texas, jjid the University _ of Florida, adopted last year by Auburn, this year by West Virginia University, the program eliminates the traditional hectic week of fall registration and orientation by having students visit the campus during the summer for two to three days of registration procedures, pre-college counseling. testing and Interviews' wdth student and administrative leaders.

The program was instituted on a voluntary basis seven years ago at the University of Alabama, proved so successful that for the past five years it has been required of all freshmen entering the university.

This summer some 2600 students will visit the Alabama campus in groups of 200 between June 20 and August 1. Many of them will be accompanied by their parents who. according to Dr. C. T. Sharp-ton, Vice Pi c Jdent In Charge of Student Affairs, are as eager to learn about the university as their sons and daughters and are just as full of questions.

Parents want to know about fees, opportunities for scholarships and part - time work, grade point averages, residence requirements, rules and regulations, clothes, the pros and cons of fraternities and sororities and whos going to get Mary up in the morning, say the administrators of the orientation programs at Alabama and Auburn.

Students are far more concerned with the problems of adjusting to a new environment. They worry about finding their niche among a sea oTsTragerN and making. perhaps. their first decisions without family assistance. But their major concern Is selecting the proper course.

To meet this problem, Alabama uses a team of faculty

and staff advisers. aJso recruits 25 to 30 graduate counselors whose summer work with incoming freshmen helps them toward their doctorates in Counseling and Guidance.

Students are given a battery of academic and aptitude tests. With test results in hand, counselors are able to advise them on their chances of success in - their ohosem lieMs . Often we try to guide them into another ai-ea, says Dr. Sharpton. This saves many potential failures and drop -outs.

But course selection and registration are only a part of the summer orientation program. Incoming freshmen and their parents tour the campus, leant someEhing of ils"''Rstory and tradition. They have personal interviews with the dean of the school they plan to attend and other administrative and student officers. They are treated to a round of concerts, dances, and lectures, and, living in a dormitory, they have a chance to begin lasting friendships.

This type of orientation is not without its problems. It puts an extra burden on the university staff and an added strain on the budget as well as costing parents and students both time and money.

But administrators at both Alabama and Auburn believe its well w'orth it. It's the best money we ever spent, says Dr. Sharpton. Our freshmen are more self confident they feel like old timers and theyre motivated. Their total performance Is better and we have a higher retention rate. And the confusion and frustration of the first week of school is tremendously relieved.

Says Dean James E. Foy, who heads the program at Au-buiTi: It has a definite psychological advantage. Entering students who took part in the program last year had far fewer problems than those who entered under the old system the year before.

' "STmilar programs are being considered by other Southern colleges and universities. If they prove successful, some of the jarring effects of the traditional fall orientation may ell be eliminated.

The healthy debate on how Washington should conduct the Vieinanie.se w^ar continues.

By EARL L. DOUGLASS THE I NCONSCIOLS AREA

Psychologists tells u.s that there is a va.st area of ottr lives of which we are uncon-.scious. Everything we say and do makes an impression which is stored away in that vast mechanism we call the brain. Much of this information will probably never emerge. Other bits of it will pop out when we least expect them to do so. Perhaps the psychologist is right in maintaining that many of our actions are due to the influence of .submerged and hidden thoughts influential upon our action but iinob.served and frequently beyond the power of any analysis to which we may try to subject them.

A noted bi aln .surgeon exiv inirnted some vear.s ago witli patienis brought to him in serious co-.iditlon and found that

frequently he could, by a simple technique, cause them to recall incidents which had happened long before. Songs ^hey had not thought about four years sprang to their lips. They talked about circumstances so far back in their childhood that they had difficulty in recalling even the occurence of these experiments added up to the conclusion that much of o u r lives is hidden from us as well as from the world, and that many of our actions are due to stored up impressions which have long since vanished from our memories.

So let us always think of our-w'lves as biings sitting on top of a vast complex of impi*es-sions, impulses, memories, and conclu.sions arrived at year.s before and carefully .stored away In the vast mechanism of brain.

When my friend James Burnham, Americas most profound student of geopolitics, says the West Is destined to die of suicide, I cant accept his opinion emotionally. But my only rational counter to the Bumham thesis is t h a t Communism has its ways of committing suicide, too. The free world and the collectivist world seem to be in a race to ' see which can complete a program of self - destruction first.

This competitive urge to mutual self - annihilation is evidenced by what has been happening in the Cuban cattle industry. The theory in Washington Is that Castro is being hurt by the official U.S. embargo on Cuban trade. But our allies Prance, Britain, Canada pay no attention to our pleas that Castro must be throttled lest he acquire sufficient strength to overturn the whole of Latin America.

I have a detailed report, w'hlch comes from entire 1 y trustworthy sources that miust remain unidentified since human lives are Involved, of the help Castro is getting from abroad in the effort to build up his beef supply. Mr. William Davis, Director of the Hurley Agricultural Instit u t e In England, and Mr. Thomas Preston, Director of the Nutritional Department of the Row-et Research Institute of Aberdeen. Scotland, have been under contract to Cuba to provide good advice. And French technician Maurice Amiot is heading a team of twelve westeni experts in drawing up a cattle plan. The cost of the plan is estimated at '$3 million. with $1.13 million of thi.s being defrayed by the UN. M. Amiots experts have committed themselves^ ta - Instructing ~ 230 Cubans in the lore of good cattle breeding and care.

Meanwhile the Cubans have been sending out expeditions to bring in cattle from Canada, Auvstralia, Jamaica, and Europe. The Havana government recently spent a million dollars for a ship, the FrulxH Clementina, with a cargo capacity of 1,000 head of cattle. It has even brought In cattle by plane from Malton Airport in Montreal. Canada has .siip-plied Aberdene-Angus, Hereford. Holstein, and Brown-Swlss cattle for breeding purposes. The Cubans spent $33.-(MM) for one bull. Citation R. In Canada, and $30,000 for another, Rasafe Signet. This Is major league stuff.

But, alas for Castro, the money and energy devoted to reviving Cubas herds haven t done much good to date. It takes time to crosw northern breeds with the strains that can survive in the tropic.s without running dow'n hill. Some of the cattle have arrived in Cuba seriously suffering from sunstroke. An epidemic of tuberculina has decimated .some herd.s. Cattle ticks have increa.sed, and a new* tyi>e of tick, hitherto in known in Cuba, has kil led some animals w'ithin forty-eight hours.

So the cattle population of Cuba lirhps along at a figure that hovers around 4 million head. It used to be 6..5 million. Meat rationing in Cuba allow's the citizen three - quarters of a pound pt*r w-eek Sometimes they dont get that.

And now comes the clincher so far a.s the competition

in sucldal impulse is concerned. Strapped for foreign exchange. Castro has decided that he mu.-^t ignore the do-me.stic protein requirements ef his people. He is .selling cattle In Spain. He has & mis-.sion in France trying to work out a deal. And the Italians are apparently going to buy live cattle from Cuba. At thi.s rate, even if Castro Is .suc-(('S.'jful in cro.sRing temperate zone Holstdns to breed .something as hardy as the Santa Gertrudis, the cattle population of Cuba wont grow to the point of sustaining 6.5 million hungry people.
