borth Carolina's Governor Hodges Is as close to incoming
President Kennedy as aay man In the South. Kennedy saw
in Hodges a man of his own stripe. He recognized his great
Jjtftnts when he made him national chairman (or business
men (or Kennedy. Kennedy was pleased with the manner
: iff which Hodges executed that assignment. That showed when
'.Kennedy called Hodges to New Hampshire on a moment's
notice and with only a few hours to get there for a national
television appearance with him.

when personal campaigning by
candidates was impossible, it

day. A Constitutional amend
ment would be necessary.
Each state has the number
of electoral votes that it has
representatives and senators.
These votes are cast for the
presidential candidate who re
ceives the largest number ot
votes in that state.
The system has three major
flaws.
IT DISFRANCHISES all cit
izens who vote for the losing t<
candidate In a given state, n
Their votes don't count at all v
in the Electoral College. t!
IT PUTS an extremely high
premium on minority Hoc p
voting in the large industrial e
states with the largest num
ber of electoral votes. A few ^
thousand votes can swing a s,
large electoral vote either p
way. Remember the great em- g
phasis of the campaign on the ^

THE CAMPAIGN

Health and physical stamina

resident. But there a re mo re
mportant cons ide radons.
Even these two showed the
rind in their gravel voices

ingue-llned faces.
A shorter campaign would

The remedy must be a mat

Legal Control is Working . . .
The Legal Sale of Beer
Produced Over
8 Million Dollars in
\ State Excise Taxes
I for 1960
. . The counties and municipalities permitting
the legal sale of beer will receive their share of
these taxes early in 1961 based on the new
? census report The exact amounts will be pub
T lished at that time. During the past 10 years,
r. this tax has produced more than $60,000,000.
This tax money is in addition to local license
fees and franchise taxes collected by local
?*" governments permitting the legal sale of beer.
And all this is in addition to the local taxes
paid North Carolina by beer distributors, plus
? gas taxes and income taxes at all levels paid
? by those employed in this business.
The so-called "dry" counties do not receive
any of this revenue nor do they receive any law
enforcement assistance from the State ABC
Board. And there is no way to collect any
sales taxes or license fees from the bootlegger.
Under North Carolina "local option laws" any
county or city by a vote of its people, can par
ticipate in the advantages of "legal control," in
cluding law enforcement and tax benefits. 85%
of North Carolina citizens in 66 of the State's
100 counties have chosen "legal control."

of shallow rebels who call
themselves the poets of this
"Beat Generation." JackKer
onac has been called the St,
Jack of this movement: Allen
Ginsberg has been called its
Prophet. These non-conform
ists have taken a vow of pov
erty the better to be untram
meled by modem society, a
vow which society has helped
them keep the economics
of publishing and selling poe
try being what they are. The
Beats believe that civili
zation is coming apart at the
seams. After reading their
poetry I'm inclined to agree.
Various photographs show
the Beats reading their works,
partying in their "pads, "dre
aming In front of store win
dows, and feeding the pigeons
while the eternal search for
inspiration goes on.
The rest of the book is made
19 of Beat poetry? -the like
of which you have possibly
never seen. For example, the
first stanza of Ted Joan's
poem called "Playmates":
Let's play something/Let's
play anything. Lefs

sling paint at happy
looking people and
throw shovels Into
store front church win
dows.
Or a few lines from a poem
by Jack Micheline:
I tell you
I tell you
All people are enslaved
I tell you
I tell you
All people are enslaved
in these modern times
the people don't believe
the people feel so insecure
If there is any value to
Beatnik poetry, it must be
accidental, revealing the dif
ferences between thetrueart
lsts and the would-be artles.
Many of these young writers
display an Infantile rebel
lion against any restrictions,
simply for the kick they get
out of it. For them, the mean*

flit from one kick to another
