Look For Congress To Go Sl6wer

Although the first sesvsion of the 89th Congress put more new legislation on the books than any other one in recent history, there is little doubt the administration will find considerable work for the new session of Congress that convenes in January.

In spite of tentative plans the administrtion may have, there appears a strong feeling on Capitol Hill that the next session of Congress will move more slowly in enacting new major legislation.

It rmy be expected"tifat the President will con-he to piish for the three major pl^es'^^ tion desired by organized labor, but left unpassed du'fing the session which just adjourned. It is also expected that the opposition which thwarted that legislation during the recent session will be just as strong if not stronger after the first of the year.

Time will be required for the government to Implement many of the new programs authorized by Congress this year. It is not unlikely that Congress

Holding A Lie. On Controversy

By WnXlAM A. HHIRES

LID Moore dn inlstratlon offlcUl have been .ttemptlng Tor wSe weeks U hold a lid on anythlna really contro-vaitdal until after the ballot-in* Nov. 2 on a proposed $.100 million highway bond Issue.

Now, however, the bond election la fa.st approaching and the guess Is that soon thereafter the Ud will have to be taken or be blown off.

But until Norv. 2. wining approval of the highway bond Saeue clearly haa first and forffiioet administration priority. The feeling, expreaaed privately in administration circles. Is lets get the bond issue passedand go on from there. Let's dont let anything hurt the bond issue."

PENDING Meanwhile,

ktate omdair Hive been re^ iuctant to make any contro-veratal decisions. They have been unwilling even to speculate In any detail on many pending matters of controversy requiring high hevel decision;

Most of these simply have been put on the shelf temporarily without disclosing specl-. 41cphuia for -.dealtogwith . themand without rtirrlng up fresh fires.

Now theres just another week to go. OutUxdc for approval of the big bond iawje appears favorable. Gov. Dan K. Moore saya he expects overwhelmliig' approval by the voters and. if so, hla administration win have scored another first-year political success.

PRESSURE At the same time tblA hid been , happening,, pressure for official decisions and actkm on certain other matters has been building up steadUy.

The administration la feeling the iw^ssure, too.

In fact, the governor hlm-elf decided to lift the lid Just a bit the other day to let some pent-up steam escape. And when he did, a sur-prise or two popped out in the cloud of vapor.

MATTE)^ For one thing. Moore smfted a bit on his earlier position (g wait and see about legislative and congressional rean^rtlonment. an issue now pending before a federal court in Greensboro.

Moore called a conference of legislative leaderaLt. Gov.

Robert W. Scott. House speaker H. P. (Pat) Taylor Jr. and Speaker Ban steidy chairman David M. Brittto talk about reapportionment, a .vpeclal legislative session and certain other pressing iteips. He expressed himself as deeply concerned about the apportionment problem.

Subsequently, plans were disclosed for Scott and Taylor to name interim legiilatlve committees to begin drawing plans for reapportionment of the states present political districts.

SESSIONThen there wert two other rapid-fire developments. Britt told newsmen he is hopeful that his special nine member study commission on the Speaker Ban law and its effects can sulmilt a npBprt by Nov. 10.

S^ulatlon Increased because this, In effect, was a speedup of an earlier timetable for file Speaker Ban study report. And there were reports that the commission almost certainly would recommend special session of the General Assembly at an early forestall posalMe withdrawal of accreditation from ' state-supported institutions of higher learning.

A second surprise came when Moore told his news conference that he would not rule out the possibility of a special session this Fall to act on reapportionment and postl-bly two or even more" other problems.

All in all. November was shaping up aa a rather momentous month W state ofiicl-alsbeginning with the bond vote and going on from there.

AGREE The states new Republican chairman, Jim Gardener, found at least one area of agreement with Governor Moore and most of the states Democratic party leaders in the matter of legislative representation.

Gardner in a letter urging Moore to call an extra session of the General Assembly, made this statement;

Our present system with representation determined both on the basis of population and geographical consideration has generally served well the people and the state, and the Republican party would not favor changtog this system."

Gardner added, however, unfMtunately, we are now faced with no alternative to change. The only ch<Hce avail-ble to us lies with the method of changing." And he also charged that present inequities in representation have resulted from short sighted attempts to perpetuate the (Democratic! party. He called for corrected actions by leglsiaUon rather than court acti(m.

will be less inclined to continue during the next session the pace of activity it followed during 1965. As was indicated in the last months of this session, there seems a growing inclination to move more slowly in new fields of legislation.

the honeymoon between President Johnson and Congress may not be over after this first year, but it is a good guess the admkiistration may find it slightly more difficult to get everything it wants from Congress next year.

Little Interest In Better Roads, Court?

The light voter registration of the past three Saturdays is rather puzzling in view of recent emphasis on voting rights.

It is true that such matters as road bond issues and intermediate'courts do not stir human emotions as does a hard fought campaign for governor.

Still the $300 million road bond issue set for Nov. 2 and the appelate court amendment, to be voted on the same day, affect almost every North Carolinian.

Good roads are a must If North Carolina is to continue to progress, and those who have studied it tell us that the appelate court system will be helpful.

Every North Carolinian eligible to vote should have been interested enough in these two issues to have made it a point to register, regardless of whether he were for or against.

We can only conclude that, among non-register-ed North Carolinians at least, there is little interest in better roads, or in an improved court system.

We only hope there is more interest among thase who are registered. It is important that there be a large turnout on Nov. 2 and it will be up to those whose names are on the registratiop. books to bring it about.

"I Jke. I IVIcan, DadD'Ya Keally Think Bein" Exploited By Comniiinist?*

By IJCWIS C-ULICK

WASHINGTON (AP) Whatever its other results, Americas large-scale entry Into the Viet Nana war has failed so far to produce a meaningful peace TeeWfrom North Vlet'Naifn.

This report comes from U.S. diplomats, who for six months have searched for any promising Red response to President Johnsons April 7 offer of unconditional di.scusslons with the governments concerned.

One reason lor the introduction of U.S. combat troops in the South and air attacks on the North, Johnson said at the time, was to make clear that the only path for reasonable men is the path of peaceful settlement."

Since then the Viet Cong monsoon .-eason offensive has come and gone on a much sn.aller scale than U.S. officials expected. The beefed-up U.S. ground forces often gave the gucrrll-' las a bloody nose, and American bombers staick Mrth with regularity.

Now the same Wash:..., ton sources who once predicted major rethhklng by Hanoi this fall are reporting that the Reds seem as determined as ever

to slug it out.

If anjdhlng, Hanoi -uty have toughened its line.

A few months ago U.S. policymakers figured North Viet Nam might not be insisting on iTs fF^lBt pmti- wHIcfi Includes a withdrawal of foreign forces and acceptance of the Communist pnran. in for talks. Now Red propagandists seem to be demanding the four points as a prerequisite.

This adds up to a gloomy outlook for a diplomatic solution any time soon. Instead, U.S. diplomats expect hard fighting ahead on the military front, and there Is more talk about winning the war that waywithout a peace conference.

On the Communist side, morale is a vital problem for Hanoi. T^e Vk' Cong Uve in greater peril and hardship than their South Vietnamese government opponents.

The wUl to fight on for a vague and distant reward is the rrillas, strongest armor, and peace talks could eat into that.

So for the Red leaders, a military solution may continue to be more aiK>eaUng than the cor'erence table. North Viet Nam Is stiU declaring that the "defeat of U.S. imperlallimi i beyond question.

And if the tide of battle goes against the Aslan Communists, they have room in doctrine and experience for a tactical 9hift. laying low to strike again later.

Johnson voiced hope April 6 that peace wilTcome swiftly." At the same time he added:

But that is in the hands of others besides ourselves. And We must be prepared for a long continued conflict."

(Rocky Mount Telegram) Further evidence of the misuse of union funds has been reported by the Labor Department in Jimmy Hoffas longstanding case-The department said Wednesday that $570,396 in Teamsters Union funds was used to pay the legal fees of the union president, Hoff a, in three criminal trials since 1962.

Hoffa has contended that the use of union funds in his criminal trials was a necessary part of his business. We dont believe he can find anyvhere In American law a provision under which he can use union funds to pay for his own personal trials in criminaJ cases. The Labor Department report further said the funds were taken from the unions treasury to pay Hoffas legal expenses in trials at Nashville. Tenn., and Chattanooga, and Chicago. Hoffa was convicted in Chattanooga in 1964 of jury tampering in the earlier Nashville case. He was sentenced to eight years and a $10,000 fine.

The Nashville case Itself involved a charge of accepting more than a million dollars in kickbacks from a trucking firm.

Hoffa was convicted of fraud several months later in Chicago in collection with mul-ti-milllon-dollar manipulations of Teamsters pension funds. He drew a five-year term and a $10,000 fine. He is aWJealing both convictions.

The law provides that union officers must hold money of a labor organization for the benefit of its members and provides for suits to recover misuse of funds or property. A group of antl-Hoffa Philadelphia Teamsters has filed suit in federal court seeking recovery of the funds spent for criminal trials of Hoffa and other Teamsters officials.

Here is an example of how state right-to-work laws may protect workers. In states without such laws, a worker would have to join a Teamster union if it had jurisdiction over his tjrpe of work. That means he would have had to pay union dues for membership he did not want. And his dues possibly could have gone to help defray Hoffas trial expenses. If that Is not trampling a citizens rights, then we know of no other example.

The Labor Department has no authority under the Landrum - Griffin Act except to Investigate and report the use of union funds and make the findings public. Hoffa contends the use of union funds in his criminal trials was a necessary part of his business.

Is becoming involved in numerous criminal charges a necessary part of the routine business of a union president? We doubt it. And we dont believe rank and file union members should be required to foot the bills for these high-flying union czars who carry them for a ride.

"The strangest stories are being spread about Red CJhinas aging dictator, Mao Tse-tung. One of them is that he is afflicted with Parkinsons Disease. Another is that he had, like the Hitler of 1944. become the victim of delusions. Certainly there is some objective evidence that Mao and his mates have lost touch with the world outside China. How else can one explain the crazy course they have taken In regard to the continent of Africa? The latest blooper the Red Chinese have pulled is to issue, through a Maoist Peoples Front of East Africa, a blood-thirsty document calling upon the broad masses of the Kenya people" to expose the African sociallan" <d President Kenyattas government as a new front for imperialist colonialist caiJiUaifini." The document, sent to Kenya oiMsiet ministers and members of parliament from Dar es Salaam In Tanzania, Is lavish with praise for Oginga Odinga, who has expressed his sympathy

in the past for the Chinese revolution. This had led to no end of embarrassment for Odinga, who, after all, is Vice President in the Kenya government. He has had to denounce the nice.words the Maoists have said about him as something intended to sow the seeds of discord."

What is insane about the Maoist demand for a revolution" in Kenya is that it is directed at peopl^ \^o consl^-cr they have'hadlHeir ' revolutiMi. If the Maoists had set out to discredit themselves throughout Africa, they could have done nothing more effective than to attack the Kenyat-ta government for being fascist and counter-revolutionary." It is as if a group of Americans had called in 1792 upon the broad masses" to get rid of George Washington on the ground that he was a stooge of King George HI.

The remoteness from reality that has led to Red Chinese mistakes in Africa Is even more glaring when one looks at recent events in Asia. Instead of humbling the Lidlans by threatening them while they were embroiled with Pakistan, they have put new stiffness into the Shastri government. Moreover, the delusion that all the Red Chinese had to do in Indonesia was to set their local Communists in motion has been exposed by the quick thinking of Indonesia army officers, who, whatever licensi they may be willing to permit Sukarno. Just arent willing to turn over their country to the domination of a foreign Communist power.

The madness of Mao has infected the stud^t fringe in the United States. For, right in the midst of fiie woiat reverses the Reds have met in years, young people who take their politics from such organizations as the Progressive Labor Party and the Stucfnt* for a Democratic Society,, parade and demonstrate under the assumption that they can change the thinking of eighty per cent of the American people by mak- = Ing public nuisances of them-selves.

SPANIARDS SHOW THEY KNOW THE OLD HAT TRICK

The Spanish sherry industry has just demonstrated it knows the American hst trick. To increase sales here, 20 sherry exporters put on their hats this month and came to America to seU, holding testings for hundred of wine buyers in New York. Washington, Chicago and Boston.

Thrir main strgtegy was to create a msscuUne image for sherry. One teclmique was to promote sherry on the rocks in old - fashicmed glasses.

Salvador Ruiz Berdejo, president of Consejo Regulador, the government sherry organization, said producers are trying to double the U.S. sales of 700JOOO gaUons a year.

The sherry ambassadors are their own best customers. Sn sunny Jerez, it is normal for a to drink a bottle a day. Most Spaniards like dry sherry, but the bulk of exports is sweet.
