WhM| vou speak of "race' in the current events sweeping like a late-win ter snowstorm over all North Carolina, be sure vou know where of you speak . . .and what you nave in mind The dictionary defines the word thusly : "A contest of speed" ... "a) group of persons connected bv| common descent " Until about thirty days aso. the matter of race did not get into the Governor's race. Then camei the sit-down situation. Now it I seems certain that an issue hard ly mentioned as 1960 came intoj view will become the main ques-| tion. the chief force, in the cam- ! paign. , DIFFERENT . In the other Southern states, the racial ques tion has been dragged into the pic ture bv politicians wanting to cap italize on the emotions and prej-i udices of the voters. ' When John Larkins and Terry I Sanford announced for Governor, i they dwelt on education, welfare. I per capita income in their state- I ments. Neither said anything to ' stir up racial hatred or trouble, i They saw the need for better high ways and less centralization of. power in Raleigh. In Virginia, in Alabama? and I certainly in Arkansas and Geor gia ? the matter of racial prejud- i ice was brought out as the Mainl. Thing to be discussed by the can-il didates for Governor. If it was not J i a question already, as in the case) nf Arkansas. Orval Faubus would ji make it one. 1 It takes real statesmanship top walk the high road, but as of'] March 1 Sanford and I.arkins were still on it. The racial firecracker - in North Carolina was not touched : off by political candidates. The; match was struck by streetwalk ers and sign-carriers in an elec tion v ear which found the two principal candidate* for high office trying desperately to keep North Carolina out of the pit of racial prejudice. IX THE RUNOFF . . . Until Beverly Lake announnced for Governor last week, it looked as if I here w ould be no second pri mary in the gubernatorial battle. Now there is certain to be one Whose support will go to whom' In 1?48 the last time we had an important three-cornered race. R. Maytie Albright's supporters in the! first go-around flocked to Kerrj Scott in the runoff. Thus it was lhat Charles Johnson, who led in the first, was defeated in the sec ond. Now it is recognized here . and elsewhere . . . that Terry Sanford will make some whole sale changes in State offices here should he be elected Governor. In nther words, soothsayers have tied the strong hand of Luther Hodge* to various candidates and. would- ( ne candidates ... but never to! ferry Sanford. So. if the runoff should be be- 1 I ween Sanford and Larkins. it i? felt Hodges would lean to Larkins . . one way or another. Seawell.| I'W. Now suppose the .second pri mary were bettween Larkins and! Malcolm Seawell where would got he Lake strength and the San-I Ford strength? Well, since Seawell and Lake! are apparently both in the racial picture. Lake's strength would go with Seawell and Sanford's to Larkins. However, it best he noted that .vhen Lake said he would not be a candidate for Governor . . nho'.it a month ago he took I* haymakar at Gevweer Hodfat and wa < immediately attacked t> Seawall. Sa. Lake might try to. swing hi* people to Larkiaa rathei than to Seawell. the latest mac said to have Uodgaa' bletatogs We can! see a second primar\ between Beverly Lake and Sea well because by and large they . ? ill be pulling water from the same well. Lake has been making noises like a candidate for Gov-, ernor almost as long a> Sanford; ? . . aid has made friends at; crossroads corners all over the State ... so don't count him least just because he announced last. { UNTIL NOVEMBER . . . Until! Lake and Seawell announced for Governor, we could see a mid Mimmer breathing spell for poli tical bombast. At least there would be June? and a portion ot July. Now here is the way she shape? j up: Primary latter part of May Second primary latter part o! June. National Conventions Wars and rumors of wars from there right on through frost and into November and the General Elec tion. This should be a bellyful for anybody. If by that time you can count on the fingers of both hands yaur friends, count yourself lucky. DREAD . . . For this Governor's race in North Carolina this year mav get hot enough, vitriolic enough, and demaeogic enough no! only to turn the best of friend. into enemies, but members of the same family against each other. Frankly, we rather dread it . . . and have a hunch that you do.; too. NOTES . . In 1956. there was no second primary. In the first, the candidates were Luther H Hodges '401.082 votes1: Tom Saw yer, 29.248: H. P. Stokely. 24.416: and C E. Earle. Jr.. il.908, In 1952. there was no rtmoff. In the regular, the votes went this way: \V B Umstetd. 294.170: Hubert E Olive. 265.675: and M. R. Dim away. 4.660, Olla Ray Boyd did not run either time In 1948. we only remember eas ily. Johnson. Scott, and Allbright Here is the list, and the votes re ceived by each candidate in the first Primarv: Johnson. 170.141: Scott. 161.293: Albright. 76 281 : Os car Barker. 10 871: W. F Stanlev Sr.. 2 428: and Boyd. 2.111. In the runoff. Kerr Scott received 217.626 to Charles Johnson's 182.684 But second pimaries are tricky! We have iust received from Kenneth C.

That is the conclusion reached by The L". S. Department of Agricul ture and Land Grant College econ omists in separate surveys made in response to a requesl by Sen. Allen Kllender. chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee. Results of the studies are pub lished in a 30-page report entitled Senate Document No. 77, free copies of which are available through tfie I. S. Printing Office, Washington. D. C. Both reports emphasize that the studies are the independent con elusions reached by the economists, iivcl not necessarily the \ Sew of policy officials, in response to ihis question: What would the effect be on farm production, prjees and income if government production controls v.ere eliminated and price supports lowered to tile free market level over the next five years? Production Up. Prices Down Both surveys are in agreement that removal of production controls and lowering of price supports, as advocated by Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson, would result in an increase in production along vith lower prices and reduced income for farmers. Department of Agriculture econ omists think total farm production would increase at an average of 2rr a year, somewhere near the average of the past 10 years. They tliink that by 1H36 farm prices would declinc another 14r; but that cash income would drop only boiaa.se of increased market ?nil. They estimate that by 1965 beef cattle would average $15 idown 25% >, hogs $11.50 (down 20% i, corn 80c a bu. ' down 25% i, wheat 90c a bu. (down 50% ?. cotton 25c down 30% i, eggs 29c ' down 20%', broilers 15c >down 10% i, and soy beans $1.60 'down 25%'. The report docs not explain how the 14% average decline is arrived at in view of the much larger de cline predicted for commodities which make up 80% of all farm marketings. College Conclusions The college economists expressed the belief that I'SDA's projections of probable 1965 prices and in come were "somewhat higher" than justified by the expected in crease in volume of farm market ings. They estimated net farm income would drop from about $11.5 bil lion last year to about $7 billion in 1965. a decline of about 40%, including both cash marketing re ceipts and government payments. Other estimates include a 60% to 75% drop by 1965 in net cash receipts by wheat growers. 35% li.wer for cotton producers, 37%> lower for corn-hog producers, 13% lower for dairymen, but not much change for beef cattle ranchers. I "The reduction in realized net income ' 40% ? would be borne largely by the 2.1 million farms which market 90% of all farm products." the economists figure. The college study groupe included George Brandow of Pennsylvania. Willard Cochrane of Minnesota, Harlow Halvorson of Wisconsin. Maurice Kelso of Arizona. James riaxieo of Oklahomo, and John Schnittkcr of Kansas. Senator Jordan Reports Bv: SEN. B. EVERETT JORDAN WASHINGTON? Once again I lave asked tor action on a bill 1 D. M.

I'nder the present law, a person fi5 years old who recieves pay ments cannot earn more than $1,200 a year in outside income without losing part of his Social Security benefits. I introduced a hill last year which would in crease this limitation on outside income to $1,800 a year. Alter the bill was introduced, it was referred to the Senate Com mittee on Finance.

C. 4 ft" x 10" Sheets it i 1 erable time for (he Committee i to obtain a report from the Ail-' ministration on the measure. It is a matter of routine proce dure for the administrative agen cy involved to analyze each bill that is introduced. The Administration report filed on my bill was unfavorable. The Administration took the position that my measure would create additional demands on the Social Security fund from which benefits ate paid It was reasoned that if the outside limitation was increas jed. it would mean that more people would draw full Social Security payments. As a matter of literal fact, jthis probably would be true, but 1 1 do not feel that is any just ification to keep the proposal from becoming law. After all. the pay ments individuals make into the Social Security fund were from their own earnings and they should not be penalized because of any outside income they may be able to make. I sincerely feel that there is an urgent need for some changes in the present law. and the mod est increase in the outside in come limitation I have proposed is certainly a minimum require ment in view of the increased cost of living in recent years. As a matter of fact. I see no rason why there should be any limitation on the amount of out side income a person receiving Social Security benefits may earn There are many thousands of people who are not able to .con tinue full - time work after they reach the retirement age under the Social Security Program. Many of these people would like to do part - time work in order to make enough money hbove their Social Security payments to earn a decent living and avoid being dependent on relatives and friends. -*-> Words of Life \ THE PROBLEM Of surnouNG By R. T. HOLTS . The problem of suffering i* a difficult question to discus There is no possibility that we ccuidi discuss it at all adequately within the limits of this column, but let | us at least luuk at tho question honestly. There are not an> of who will reach middle age with out being serfeuily eoneened with this question. Our conccrp may come out of aome personal ex perience when we are engu.ed by sickness, accident or tragedy, orj it may come as we become aware of the suffering around us and begin to ask why a God wlio loves' us would allow suffering to exist j If we are going to makj an honest effort to answer the ques tion of why we live in a world i in which there is suffering, wej would do well to begin .villi what, our reason tells us. The firs' thing' we can say is that pain has played an important part in man's <trug-i gle up from the mud and the muck of pre-historic existence. The evidence is overwhelming that our remote ancesiors liv.-d life on a level little above 'hat1 of the animals. Life in lite dawn of time offered little in the way of comfort or security. Pain was! the great teacher. In his efforts to secure enough to cat, to find shelter from the biting cold and1 security from his enemies, man learned to cooperate an'l to work toeether with other men. The same story is repeated ini the life of the baoy who comes Into the world with no knowledge of danger or pain. It doesn't take a child with a superior intelli gence to soon learn that fire burns, that cold is unpleasant. or! that automobile traffic is danger ous. No child would oven sunup if i ho did not learn through hi? ex perience and often that experience is painful. The lessons that are i aught by pain are usually lea'-red, more quickly and last longer. Whether we like it or no', we live in a world in which men- must cooperate together to brin^ aboui the greatest happiness for all. Everything wc do in life i> blessed by the love and thj labor of someone else. When you sit! down to breakfast your euffce isi served by a South American and! your cereal comes from a mid western wheat farmer. T he clothes you wear may com? from half-way around the world. The' car you drive to work is a me chanical marvel made possible by the genius of such men a- Ford and Kettering. Of course, tiie fact, that we are so closely bojnti to gether brings with it the possi bility of suffering. If a pilot makes a mistake thousands of feet in the air. a plane may fall on a crowded city street and bring death and suffering to ' scores of people. The misU>kes of man cannot be localized. All o! us must bear our share of the suffering for the mistakes and the ignorance of men. But the good far outweighs the bad. Lile on an individual basis is unthink able. The deepest sat's'actions in life are found in ou.- ability to love others, and the ability to love others would not o>* passible1 unless we're bound togeiiier as one human family. Let us remember, too. tha. our world is not yet complete. Jc>usj said, "My father worketh hither to, and I work." The meaning is that God is still at work in hb world to perfect it according to his plan. St. Paul has -a.d, "We see not yet all things subjected to him." There are still powersl of darkness, there is stiil sin. there is still human ignorance and selfishness. One writer has said. "God leaves no finished tasks on the workbenches of the world." In other words. Gcd has not given us a world in which everything is complete. In our sane moments we would not want lit to be complete. Wc would not want to live in a world where | God has answered every question ??d provided for every want Such a world would be a dull Place is which t* live. We may often wish that God would wipe out all slums, prevent immoral it}. hinder evil and provide en ough material comforts fa. *1. but in the end it is up lo uj to aee that these things are done. Jesus reminds us .too. that God knows all about our need? "Be not anxious what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, or what ) e shall put on Your heavenly father knows that you have need of these things." Jesus was not counseling the housewife to be unconcerned about what >he is going to cook for her family, or the father to disregard his re sponsibility to feed and clothe his children The deeper meaning here is that we can trust God to provide enough for all. Bu. God depends upon us to act as broth ers in order that his goounefs ?v ** mediated to all men. Most of us have difficult In believing in a God who care* Somehow God seems so remote that it is difficult to believe that he has anything to do with ottr ?suffering. We often ask th? qi.es n ""?? can God know about n* and about my problems?" The power and wisdom of God concerned about each child of his. ability to set the planets i? orhit but in his ability to be ac'ivelv concerned abou teach chfld of his There may well be times wh-n w must trust where we cannn: .
