New Highways For Aonalachia

Hasn't He Read The Book?

By WILLIAM A, SHIRES

BEXjIN Ground we broken in the hill country of Kentucky aad Wet Virginia the other day to signal the beginning ol eonitruction of a |I90 mlliiOD ssrstem of development highway which will lace the scenic, mgged ind under-de-velop^ Appalachian region.

This Is <mly the first phase of a far reaching federal program which will pump $840 ni^Uion in federal ftmds into 2.350 miles of developm e n t highways and 1.000 miles of access road over Uie next six years.

Congress has approprlat e d 1200 million for fiscal 1965-66 to get the overall Appalachian highway program started.

The fi&cal period began July i. Less than a week later, on July 6, the first actual road-building projects Vitrt begun at Isom, Ky., and Salem, W. Va. The program is being administered by the Ai;^>alachian Regional Commlaaion, set up under the deparUnent of Commerce. It affects 11 states in the Appalachian mountain region, including North CaroUna.

STATE Di western North Carolina, which Is Included in the Appalachian region. < plans are already approved for 176 mltei of new highway construction designed to open up the area for economic development.

A delegaUon of state highway officials, including Highway Commission chairman and di-reCUfr Joseph M. Hxint Jr.. is m an inspection tour of the states m(mntain countiee Uiis week to gather information about the Appalachian high-w program.

The Mate and federal offi-cUds pointed out that the Initial coMe In the program will be for right of way acquisl-on, dean and engineering studies for the overall system,

CORRIDORS Corridors for the new mountain highways are being selected, Theae do not represent the exact routes, bi t plans are that the highways should be built within the designated corridors.

The Appalachian high way program Includes highway cor. rldors which cross tl;^ mountains by both north - south and east - west routes.

One official said they have the "dominant characteristics of continuity between maj o r existing north south and east-west destination oi travel." In effect, they are planned to provide links with major urban centers.

Corridors dselgnated for North Carolina include one from Interstate 4 M Clyde. N.C.. just west of Asheville, to the metropolRan Atlanta, Ga., area; a corridor from Interstate 75 near Cleveland, Tenn to a point on the Asheville - Atlanta corridor near DUlsboro, N.C.; and a major north south corridor from the Asheville area through northeastern Tennessee and Southeast Kentucky Into the Ohio Valley and linking up with Interstate highways leading into the Industrialised Midwest.

ACCESS Spur and access highways also figure in the Appalachian deyelopment plans. Most of the Initial allocaUens for this type of highway were made for South Carolina and Alabama, two of the 11 states which are not Inriuded in the development highway ayetem beenuae of their existing Interstate highway networks.

North Carolina can meet the needs of its peoplo only if it continues to provide new job opportunities in increasing numbers. It can meet the needs of new businesses and new industries which provide these new joba only if there are qualified people to fill the jobs that are created.

Dollars For Education Need Much Stretching

Thkt running the schools Is big business is clearly indicated by the city school expenditures for 1964-65 of 11,668,686.74.

By any criteria the expenditure of over a million and a half dollars would place any institution in the major operation category.

Much of this, $1,191,308.07, comes from the state, of course, but there is also $462,379.67 in local funds involved In running the city schools.

It matters not where the funds come from, it is important that every school o^cial, every teacher, every student and every citizen give his best to the total educational picture.

Every dollar should be spent wisely to offer the most education possible to the largest number of young people. This is not merely because there are ^ j... c

dollars involved. Rather it is a fact that education of V BOYLc our young people is essential today if this area is to keep up with the rapid growth throughout the nation.

Educational dollars are scarce, when the overall need is Considered. Therefore it is important to stretch them as far as possible. This involves not only school officials who administer the school budget. It also Involves the students themselves who attend the city schools. Facilities and teachers are being made available to the young people. We would urge each and every one of them to put all their efforts into gaining an education. In this way every one will gain from the education dollar.

In Vital Fielc.

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) -President Johnson, In picking Supreme Court Arthur J. Goldberg to be U. S. ambasAfUlor to the United Nations, cnose an expert like himaeli in getting people to agree.

This was the practical side of Johnson's action in namings the 56-year-old former lawyer to succeed ttui late Adlai E. Stevenson, since the ability to negotiate and conciliate is a talent acutely needed in the United Nations.

But there were other considerations In Johnscms decision which Is another example of how he Is ni^ going to follow the usual in selecUng men for high offioe or R)eciiil assignments.

Just recently he selected a Negro, TlttirfOod Marshall, a judge of the U. S, COurt of Appeals, to be solicitor general of the United States and third-ranking official ki the Justice Department.

In naming Goldbert, a Jew. to be the No. 1 American ambassador, Johnson was also thinking oi the human side and what it meant In and to this country and in the eyes of the world.

He was very conscious of the fact that Ooldberg wUl be dealing with the economic, political and social problems of all the nations, some of them in poverty and just emerging.

Johnson remembered that while Stevenson came from one of the first famlllea of America, Ooldberg whose parents were poor immigrants from Russia, came from one of the latest.

The parents settled in Chicago adhere Ooldberg had to work his way through school and as a boy drove through the streets with his father on their fruit peddlers wagon drawn by a bUnd horse.

After Johnson asked him Tuesday morning to take Stevensons place, Goldberg uttered a memorable phrase;

"When a Southerner (Johnson) can sit In the White House, and a Negro (Marshall) as solicitor general can argue the governments cases before the Supreme Oourt, and a Jew can sit in the United Nations and represent the United States before the world that's what Amertea is."

Johnson feels that Ooldberg Is not only experienced In vorking With men of other nations for years in various tasks he undertoi^ but Is socially conscious.

Johnson, then vice prtaldent, and Goldberg, then labor secretary, were chairman and rice chairman of the committee on Equal Emrioyment Opportunity which President John P. Kennedy created in 1961.

John.'son recalls with pleasure Goldberg's part in that.

John.son considers Goldbcm a man without prejudice or

bigotry and one who has a log-kl and Judicial mind and 1 fair to everybody.

He feels that (Mdberg, who has long been concerned about international labor problems, has demonstrated his compas-siwi for the people of the world.

And, in Johnsons thinking, the fact that Ooldberg is giving up a lifetime Job at $39,-500 a year on the court for the ambassadors job at only $30,000 shows his concern and compassion. *

Although Goldbergs career was law, and he is not widely experienced in foreign affairs* the President considers him knowledgeable in that field. His lack of what might be called expertness in foreign affairs almost certainly will not prevent Senate approval of his appointment.

When JohnsOT broke the new% to the congressional Democi-afic leaders it a White House breakfast Tuesday they all approved.

Goldberg himself said several years ago: "People in gov-^emment are part of the intellectual life of the country and must be concerned with vital foreign Issues."

A profile In the New Yorker magazine by Robert Shaplen in 1962, a few months before Kennedy named Goldberg to the Supreme (?ourt, noted a part of Goldbergs thinking

America. I love yw.

It's a wonderful feeling to be back home after nearly three months of reporting the war in South Viet Nam.

You want to turn handsprings in the street, kiss every pretty girl you meet, lap up every malted milk in town. But the most glorious thing of all is the wonderful taste of fresh water that you dont have to boll before drinking.

1 guess that, aside frcmi the preswice of his loved ones, the thing a fellow unconsciously misses most in Viet Nam is the flavor of safe, honest water, drunk straight from the faucet. Itb a pleasure to hold up a glass of it and Just look at it.

Another thing that hits you when you return to America are the store windows. You feel

like a kid in a candy store. There usually isnt much worthwhile to spend your money In in a war zone, and you build up a mad desire to buy something anything.

San Francisco is one of the best cities of the world for window shoi)ing. After an hour of It thank heaven the fine shops were all closed at that hour I entered a drugstore and after staring at all the displays finally made a purchase. I bought a pocket comb, an item 1 could have bought at a hundred street stands in Saigon.

An odd thing was that * crossing an American street gave me a feeling of nervous uncertainty. There is nothing more chaotic than trai^ in the Par East, but there arent as many big cars over there.

Poverty

(New York Hme)

"We must shed the illusion that there is a war against poverty. There is merely a BB shot against poverty, Herbert Hill, an official of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Po* pie, told his organizations convention the other day.

A program costing $784 million In the current fiscal year must obviously be the most e.xpenslve BB shot in history. Hie bill for the coming year which the House is considering this week would more tham double that amount. But there is a basis of truth for Mr. Hills overly harsh judgment. When the present program is measured against the enormous sums needed to break the cycle of poverty for several million families. It does seem relatively nail Yet it could niH be otherwise.

The war against poverty has to be a long-range enterprise. It is the task of a generation, not of a few months or years. Time is needed to organize such a large-scale effort. Moreover, Sargent Shrlver and his assistants have recognized that dollars alone cannot do the job. It is also necessary to arouse Improverished people from apathy and defeatism.

The community aeticm programs. which represent the Government *8 chief effort to stimulate new attitudes among the poor, have been the object of the heaviest Criticism. The antipoverty agency has tried to find a middle way

between the bureaucracie In the social welfare field, both governmental and private, and the newer volunteer groups that sometimes want to use Federal funds to finance demonstrations and protests against Government itself. Neither the setablished welfare organiazaticms nor the mimun-ity action groups in all their bewildering variety take kkidly to the effort to evolve flexible procedures and diverse organi-zaUtmal arrangements.

Because the war on poverty is long-range, it has suffered from the Johnson Ad-' ministrations tendency to overall the programs early achievements. Because the pov* erty program involves a steadily rising rate of Qovefnment spending. It has attracted politicians hoping to exploit It for their ends. Because there is no precedent for an acrose-the-board attach on poverty, the program has had to experiment.

Notwithstandkig the propaganda, the p(^tlcal pressures and the inevitable mistakes and the inevitable mistakes and confuslcHi that accompany experimentation, the antipover-ty prt^am has made encouraging progress In Its first year. With experience, it will both increase Its firepower and the accuracy of its range-finder. With proper backing from Congress, the antipoverty agency may over the coning decade begin to master its assignment and confound the pessimism of its critics.

Its great to be back in a country that has a change of climate and never runs out of ice cubes, but there are a few things about Viet Nam Ill never forget.

Such as:

The handless beggar in Saigon who held up both arms and said bitterly, "You dont like see." The persistence of street money changers who follow you for blocks. Fearfully tasting your first Vietnamese meal, and finding you liked It. The wel-faces, and file hidf-maMted hat come shining in childrens faces, and the half-masked hate of the outsider oooasionally showing In the faces of their parents.

When A(ai Stevenson, U.S. Ambtsaador to the United Nations, died so tragically in - a L(mdon street, it cut short what promised to be the most positive phase of a diffident man's career.

For a l(mg period this columnist was anti-Stevensonian. The reaswi had mostly to do with the quality of Stevenson's speeches. Ti)ey always "listened* we but when one wrestled with their content after they had been delivered one found that thev almost Invar^ lably eonsisted of the evocation of a problem, not with its solution. There would, characteristically. be a shining Invocation to the need for peace. The farmer wants better prices; but he wants peace more" Exactly, so one always Mdd to ones self, but how does Mr. Steveson pr.o-pose to get peace? By keeping ones armaments up to snuff? By nipping aggression in the bud? By creating a league of the powerful and the just, such as NATO might become? There was never any answer that I could find in Adlai Stevensons shining words.

JOHN

CHAMBERLAIN

In his last days as Ambassador to the UN, however, the glint of steel started to come into Stevenson's eye. It had taken him a long time to become riled with the behavior of the Communists and their fellow - travelers among the Afro - Asian bloc, but he fi-naUy decided that the time had come to hit at hsrpocrisy directly. When the Soviets and some of the tropical Afro -Asian representatives tried, with no shadow of evidence, to saddle certain American mining corporations in Southwest Africa with the blame for South Africas apartheid labor policies, it was too much for him to swallow. And when the Soviet Union asked last spring that the United Naons Disarmament Commission be convened, Stevenson remarked acidulously that his country stood ready to participate, but preferred "a negotiation c(n-mittee to a delMiting committee."

In short, Alai Stevenson had become impatient with what he had finally come to recognize as the Aesopian language" of the Communists. The man who had always been the delMiter par excellence wanted something more than debate.

He put his new - found realism into an excellent speech at Tormito, calling attention to the propaganda put out by the Marxist Ministry of Truth whkJh had perfected the exercise of converting black into White and up into down." Heartened by Stevensons statement that nowadays totalitariiuiism Is the new democracy, communist Intervention is liberation, and counter-intervention against it Is western imperialism. this columnist, wrote: "We await Adlai Stevensons next speech at the UN. If he can carry through a campaign to get the assembled nations to accept his oww definition of 'neo-ag-gresslon. the United States will make a beginning at using the UN for purptwes that combfeie decent human objectives with the obvious Interest."

The "next speech" will never be delivered. But if the question of "neo-aggression" Is to be on the agenda for some future session of the UN, the next U. 8. Ambassador should take tha Stevenson Words at Toronto fw a text.
