'If Won't Seem The Same Without You, Boy testis i DREAM STREET I By Robert Sylvester THE ASHEVILLE CITIZEN "Dedicated to the Upbuilding of Western North Carolina" ROBERT BUNNELLE, Publisher GEORGE W. McCOY, Associate Editor CLAUDE S. RAMSEY, Executive Editor SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1956 A System Of Technical Institutes come wider unless the State takes steps now Action taken at a meeting held at State College in Raleigh this week may some day be listed as a milestone in the educational and economic progress of North Carolina. The State College Development Council, at this meeting, directed its chairman, C. A.

Dillon of Raleigh, to name a committee to study a proposed plan for a statewide system of two-year technical institutes. The plan, prepared by the Slate College Extension Division, is significant. North Carolina, in this age of applied science, feels the need for technicians to fill jobs in the great middle ground between the skilled trades and professional engineers. Some 150 educators, businessmen, industrialists, agricultural leaders and newspaper editors attended the meeting. The keynote was given by Robert M.

Hanes of Winston-Salem, retired president of the Wachovia Bank and Trust Company: Rapid technological advances have placed ne.w demands on education. A gap has opened bctiueen the vocational training offered in tome high schools and the professional courses in engineering offered by colleges. I This gap, Mr. Hanes pointed out, will be- to close it. A prospectus prepared by State College lists seven areas that the institutes would cover or serve.

One would be in Western North Carolina. The others are: Southern Piedmont, Northwestern Piedmont, Northeastern Piedmont, Central North Carolina and Eastern North Caro-lina. An additional institute could be established in connection with the junior college at Wilmington. Each school, as proposed, would accommodate approximately 200 students. North Carolina has a "pilot" plant for such a system of institutes.

In 1947, State College established the Morehead City Technical Institute. In 1952 it was moved to Gastonia and became the Gaston Technical Institute. As proposed, the institutes would train men in a variety of fields, including electronics, radio-TV, tools and dies, engines and draftsmanship, and offer general courses in mathematics! Such institutes would provide the trained men needed to fill the gap mentioned by Mr. Hanes so that this state may advance toward greater productivity and economic well being. 1 i 'II C2 rata iiMHlHfii Pr ctf.

Interpreting The News A Serious Lesson For The West Women Candidates Not many of us know it, but on two occasions in the past century women won nominations for President of the United States. Herb and Maxine Cheshire, writing in The New York Times magazine for May 27, recall the facts. In 1872, Mrs. Victoria Woodhull, "beautiful, eloquent and 34" and a successful Wall Street broker, was the first woman presidential nominee, the candidate of the Equal Rights party." Victoria did not get far. By November, her party had disintegrated and her name was not on the ballot.

The second woman to run for President was Mrs. Belva Bennett Lockwood, a fighter for women's rights. Said The Times article: A brilliant Washington attorney, she was the first woman ever admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court. In her most famous case, she won a $5 million judgment against the government on behalf of the Cherokee Indians of North Carolina. Mrs.

Lockwood ran for the Presidency in 1884 after being nominated at an Equal Rights party rally held in a Cobalt Bomb the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb, created from primal energy of the universe, ought to be enough power for mortal man. It is too much power. But, it appears, the ultimate in such weapons is not yet. An atomic scientist, speaking at a Southern Baptist Pastors' Conference in Kansas City, warned that the cobalt bomb may be "God's judgment on the world." The speaker, Dr. George K.

Schweitzer, associate professor of nuclear chemistry at the University of Tennessee and one of the; university's research chemists', for the Atomic Energy Commission at Oak Ridge, said: 'Jlan now has the vower to cow joined Swiss and Swedes. Two things happened. The Swiss and Swedes never got a real look at anything in North Korea, and South Korea accused Uie Poles and Czechs in their zone of being nothing but spies. Behind the screen of Polish and Czech obfuscation, Red China showed no intention of obeying the status quo agreement, acting as Russia's agent in building up North Korean strengUi, particularly in the air. The whole thing has been reminiscent of what Germany did to the Versailles treaty between World Wars I and 11.

Russia has made a great to-rio for years over the refusal of the Western powers to trust her to keep agreements which she proposed regarding atomic and other arms. She constantly refuses to-accept even an inspection agreement. Her actions and those of hor Communist allies indicate clearly what would be the result if she did make an agreement. The Western powers would keep It, because thev would want to keep it. To avoid trouble, just as Ihey did in Germany and are doing in Korea, they would not be firm when the Reds were caught in evasions.

In any field of contest, be it hot or cold, the theory of an armistice is that its violation will produce a resumption of things as they were before its adoption. In the Korean case, this would mean a return to open, warfare. The United Nations were merely ousting the observation teams from South Korea in retaliation for Red obstruction of their operations, and prefer to let the North Korean buildup continue rather than resort to war. The Reds, however, affirm by the buildup that they either plan a new attack or that they actively contemplate development of a situation in which shooting would be resumed sometime. So much for peaceful settlements with the Communists.

By J. M. Roberts Associated Press News Analyst The breakdown of the so-called "neutral" military inspection system in Korea, which is not truly a breakdown because it never really existed, contains a serious lesson for the West as it continues to talk about international disarmament. The Communists agreed, at the time of the 1953 truce, to maintain the status quo of military force in the war-torn country. Under the agreement, men, weapons and machines would be sent into Korea only as replacements.

For every tank sent in, a tank or the pieces of one had to go out. That was the rule. To enforce it, teams of observers were set up. To ston the shooting, the United Nations agreed that the teams should be composed of men appointed by four countries. Thev were supposed to be neutral, but only half of them were.

"Just take a hydrogen bomb and put it in a box; of cobalt metal. Where the hydrogen bomb has a deadly fallout over an estimated area of 7,000 square miles, the co-ball bomb has a fallout of many times that. The most conservative, estimates are that its fallout: would cover 100,000 square miles." Scientists, Dr. i tzcr pointed out, can control many things, but they can't control man himself. "He can only be controlled by some higher power which we know and recpgnize as God." The danger to the world is not; the weapons themselves, but man who uses the weapons.

The hope is that man will be guided by spiritual power. tor has repeatedly fought the President's battles in the committee and on the floor of the Senate. The difficulty for Mr. Eisenhower now is that he is himself a candidate, and the electoral vote of Wisconsin is important to him'. The Wisconsin Republicans are divided, and Senator McCarthy and his friends are supporting Davis.

In 1952 General Eisenhower swallowed his distaste for Mr, McCarthy and Invited him to ride on the Eisenhower train through Wisconsin. What will the President do now, with McCarthy's influence, or what's left of it, again of some serious consideration in a Presidential election? Aesop tells us that "gratitude is the sign of noble souls." President Eisenhower has nobility of soul, but it may now be facing a test presented by practical politics. Senator Alexander Wiley of Wisconsin, principal Midwestern supporter of the Eisenhower foreign policies, seeking re-nomination and reelection, has been repudiated by his State's Republican nlion. Announcing that he will oppose in the Wisconsin primary Representative Davis, the convention's choice, Senator Wiley naturally hopes for Administration support. As former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and now the committee's ranking Republican, the Sena nor of Illinois an Inadequate pension for the "aged and the blind." That night he went on television and, using an ancient political trick much favored by Sen.

Joseph R. McCarthy, he brandished papers to "prove" his charges. More such charges followed that Stevenson had represented the Radio Corporation of America before the Supreme Court, and thus favored monopoly, that six Florida Congressmen, whose support Kefauvcr himself had solicited, had "ganged up" on him they announced for Stevenson. However mild the Kefauver manner, this was rough stuff, and Kefauvcr knew it. lie must have known that the measure increasing oldjage pension which Stevenson vetoed was, as The Chicago Sun-Times ponited out, "passed by a Republican-controlled Legislature as a political trap for Adlai." He mast have known that the Legislature provided no revenues for the increase, and that, as Tie Sun-Times also said, it took "rare political cour age and honesty" for Stevenson to veto the measure.

If Kefauvcr did not know these things, it could only have been because he made a conscious effort not to know thorn. As a shrewd and experienced politician, Kefauver miU also have known the risks he was taking in adopting such tactics. In the first place, they were absolutely guaranteed to infuriate Stevenson'? supporters and Stevenson himself. One Stevenson intimate, asked if Stevenson might still consent to run with Kcfauver if necessary for nomination, replied in measured tones: "Never, never, never." But there is more to it than that. Whatever happens in California, Stevenson is now assured ol a big and loyal bloc at the convention.

If Kefauver had not made his fateful decision to play it rouh, he might logically have hoped to inherit Bn important proportion ol Stevenson's delegate strength if Stevenson failed to go over. Now that hope is dead. Whatever bap-pens to Stevenson, he and his managers can now be counted on to do everything humanly possible to deny Kefauvcr a place on the ticket. The Northern liberal groups, moreover, who exercise gieut influence at Democratic conventions have always ben cool to Kefauver somewhat illoglcally, since Kefauvcr has a near perfect liberal voting record, and has in the past shown real courage, especially on civil liberties issues. Now.

thanks to Kclauver's tactici in Florida, liberals will have a logical reason for opposing him. So will the professional politicians, who have been even cooler to the Kefauvcr cause. Conceivably, Kefauvcr might ill fight his way to a place on the ticket the notion of a Hard-man-Kefauver ticket, for example, Is still much favored in the camp of New York's Gov. W. Avcrcll Harriman.

Yet the apathetic Florida voters, in defeating Kcfauver by a mere handlul of votes, have certainly hurt him very badly. And, as so often happens in American politics, it has been Kefauver himself, in his desperate thirst to win, who has hurt Kefauver most. By Stewart Alsop WASIIINGTON-Sincc his defeat In Florida It seems a reasonable guess that Senator Estcs Kefauver, that peculiar political phenomenon, will begin to fade and grow dim as a figure on the American political scene. Kcfauver has another chance in California, of course. His defeat in Florida was by the slimmest of margin.

It is always dangerous to make predictions about American politics, and Kefauver has been about the most consistently under-estimated American politician. But when all this Is said, it is hard to see how Kcfauver can recover from his Florida defeat To understand why the Florida defeat is so devastating in Ke-fauver's case, it is necessary to understand the kind of campaign he waged in the last few days of the Florida race. On Wednesday of the final week of the campaign, all tfie reporters covering Kcfauver took note of the fact that he had made a decision sure to affect his whole political future. His decision was to pluy it rough. Before that fateful Wednesday, Kefauvcr had been the familiar Kefauver making his simple, earnest, cliche-ridden speeches, shaking his usual quota of a thousand hands a day with automaton-like efficiency.

On Wednesday lie got tough. To be sure, he didn't look tough. He never does. As alwavs, his manner was mild, almost sorrowful, his tone low and hesitant. But he was tough all the same.

In all his speeches, he accused Adlai Stevenson, more in sorrow than In anger, of vetoing as Cover- Washington Scene Gordon Gray May Get Cabinet-Rank Post By Robert S.

C. Sabflerlptlon Rett The Defense Department does not have an Undersecretary. The second-ranking official at present is Deputy Secretary Reuben Robertson Cincinnati, paper manufacturer, who was appointed last year. There are also nine Assistant Secretaries, and a Special Assistant Secretary who was recently named to coordinate the various guided missiles programs. Gray, a combat veteran of World War II, has extensive Pentagon experience.

He was Secretary of the Army in the Truman Administration, resigning in 1950 to become president of the University of North Carolina. At President Eisenhower's urgent request, Gray returned to Washington last year as Assistant Defense Secretary for foreign affairs. A Defense Department memorandum stresses that the purpose of the new cabinet-rank office is to give the Department a bigger voice in International particularly foreign aid spending. The memorandum, which spells out the scope and functions of the new Undersecretary, indicates they include such momentous matters as the shipment of arms to Saudi Arabia, negotiations for U.S. bases, East-West trade controls, and who gets how much and what under the military aid program.

WASHINGTON President Eisenhower Is taking a highly significant step on the heavily-mbattled multi-billion dollar foreign aid pro-gra-m. He proposes to give the Defense Department a lot more say regarding it. I That will be done by asking Congress to ere-ateja new cabinet-rank office of Undersecretary of Defense, and promoting Assistant Defense Secretary Gordon Gray to it. As Undersecretary of Defense, the able and popular North Carolinian will be officially on a par-with Undersecretary of State Herbert Hoover the Secretaries of the Army, Navy and Air-forpe, and the head of the International Cooperation Administration that runs the foreign aid; program. This is essential as Gray will participate directly in the top-level activities of the National Eer-urily Council, key policy agency of the gov-rriment, the State Department, the three military services, and the 1CA.
