2B -THE CAROLINA TIMES SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1971 House Jo Vote on Federal Pay Raises WASHINGTON - In a party-line fight. House Re publicans and Democrats mar shalled forces yesterday for today's vote on President Nix on's postponement of govern ment workers' pay raises. Leaders of both parties sent out telegrams over the weekend urging members to be present Monday for the vote on a reso lution to veto the President's postponement. Usually, attend ance in Congress is down Mon days because many members take long weekends In a last minute appeal Satur N. C. Banks Back 4-H Fund Drive North Carolina bankers are kicking off a fund raising campaign in October on behalf of the state's 4-H members. The Statewide 4-H Bank Campaign is part of a national effort to raise funds to help support the youth programs of the National 4-H Club Foundation in Washington, D. C. The Foundation owns and op erates the National 4-H Center in suburban Wash ington. Joe Moss, vice presi dent, Agribusiness Depart ment, First Union National Bank, is serving as North Carolina's 4-H Bank Cam paign Chairman. He said funds would be used to support the Center in areas of citizenship ed ucation, leadership develop ment and 4-H international programs. Moss pointed out that 132 Tar Heel 4-H members and 76 adult leaders have partic ipated in programs arranged by the 4-H Foundation this year. The programs in cluded citizenship short courses, adult leader fo rums and International Farm Youth Exchange (IFYE) orientations. The center is completing an $8 million expansion pro gram and can handle 60,000 people each year. The Center has 700 beds and 31 conference rooms seating from 20 400 persons. Its new self-service cafeteria seats 600, and private banquet rooms can accom modate 20 to 200 persons each. Comments from the Capital . . k SOME SPECIAL SIDELIGHTS ON TODAY S NEWS by Von/ Neff Did you ever stop to count the ways strikes can threaten your daily life? At the drop of a strike ballot, the services essen tial to the nation can be brought to an abrupt halt. No trains, no planes, no busses, no coal, no electricity. No mail, no tele phone service, no telegrams. No policemen, no firemen, no hos pitals. no fresh food. How much abuse can the gen eral public take? Unions have grown too powerful for their own good or ours. One cure for this national disease, "Strikeitis," is to curb the excessive power of organized labor by removing re sponsibility for the administra tion of our country's labor laws from the pro-union National La bor Relations Board and turning it over to the Courts. Too often, the NLRB has openly favored the interests of big labor, to the detriment of the public interest. It surprises me that our self-ap pointed ombudsman, Ralph Na der, hasn't conducted a full-scale investigation of NLRB rulings and conduct. Now, two Michigan members in the Congress of the United States Senator Griffin and Rep resentative Broomfield —are so concerned about the unfairness of the NLRB that they have in troduced companion bills, S. 552 and H. R 5807, which would abolish the NLRB's judicial func tion and transfer it to the Fed eral Courts. Another legislative measure now pending, Bill S. 1320, sponsored by Senators Thurmond, Hruska, Goldwater, Tower and other Congressional leaders, has similar aims. The pendulum has swung too far Surely these bills deserve our support Write or wire your elected representatives in Wash mgton, and let them know how you feel about the bills It's your life, and your country And your opinion counts. Black power Drugs The hip pie cult Vietnam protests. School dropouts Inflation. Economic parasites and demonstrators. Bombings Strikes Pornography. Will it never end' It won't until we realize that these are prob lems not just for government but for ourselves Can't we straight en ourselves out and all pull together, before our American way of life pulls apart? What would happen to you if you simply walked off your job? Would you be financed by the working taxpayers? I wouldn't, I know Yet striking workers are day, Nixon conceded Congress is under "political pressure" lo veto the 6-month delay—from Jan. l to Jul.v I—of the pay raises for more than four mil lion federal workers, including the military. The President has issued an executive order putting off the pay raises for 14 million civil ian and 2 9 million military per sonnel as part of his new eco nomic policy to halt inflation and cut unemployment. The 6-month delay is intended to save $1.3 billion to help bal ance the revenue loss resulting from proposed tax cuts de signed to stimulate the econo my. White House sources have said that a separate $2.4-billion pay raise for military personnel designed to stimulate enlist ments and the move to volun teer armed forces would go into effect Nov. 13 when the wage price freeze ends. Voted as part of the draft-ex tension bill, this raise was In have been effective Oct. 1 but Nixon postponed it until the end of the freeze and proponents have not fought this delay. Passage of a resolution in ei ther the House or the Senate to veto the postponement of the scheduled Jan. 1 raise would override the President. The fight has centered in the House, but if it should refuse to block the postponement the Senate probably will vote on the issue. Leaders of the veto move in the House arc Democratic 'Ecology Court' Working in Louisville LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Louisville residents who are careless about pollution are finding themselves faced with changes in a new kind of court established to prosecute what a judge calls "ecological crimi nals." Judge Glenn McDonald of the Jefferson Quarterly Court Criminal Division has set aside every Friday afternoon for cases on pollution and ecology. He described the sessions as "a court of public awareness," adding, "This court is for the people—to make them aware of the laws and to make the legis lature aware of the need to enact new laws." When the court was estab lished five months ago, most of the cases were brought by ei ther the Air Pollution Control Board or the Board of Health. Lately, however, ordinary citizens have gotten into the act, filing suits against individ uals, groups or companies they think are polluters. "We got more complaints on the telephone than actual," McDonald said.

It is significant that Krush chev's "Memoirs" reveal that i "the Germans set up cameras so . that the world could see the i jdevastation of Danzig It was in , tended to cause fear to anyone t resisting the Nazis."

[ Too many unions are domin [ ated by "leaders" who have be come dictators. Take a look at the strife-torn United Mine Work ers, the Teamsters and the gang- members of the Post Office and Civil Service Committee, main ly Chairman Thaddeus J. Dul ski, D-N Y„ and member Je rome R. Waldie, D-Calif. House Democratic leaders have pushed for the veto. House Speaker Carl Albert of Oklahoma and Majority Leader Hale Boggs of Louisiana have urged all Democrats to vote for the veto resolution. On the other side, House Re publican Leader Gerald Ford of Michigan began working to line up members of his party against the veto two weeks ago through the Republican Caucus. If the Democratic leaders can hold their members a veto is certain. The move in the Senate to veto the postponement is ex pected to be made Monday by Sen. Charles McC. Mathias, R- Md,, who announced last week he will introduce an amend ment to a pending defense pro curement bill. Although a Re publican, his constituency in cludes a good proportion of fed eral workers. On Sunday, the National Fed eration of Federal employes urged Congress to override the President's postponement. The group's president, Nath an T. Wolkomir, asked legisla tors to "resist the President's massively orchestrated' de mand, backed by a self-serving U.S. Chamber of Commerce lobby and public relations cam paign on a huge scale, to make To bring suit against a pollu weeks, plaintiff and defendant are summoned to court, ter. a citizen must obtain a summons at the County Clerk's office, name the violator, the alleged violation and provide his own name. Within four to six There are few laws under which laymen can prosecute ecology cases in Kentucky, McDonald said. The strongest, he said, is the highway Uttering statute, which prohibits road side dumping of trash. Last Friday defendants includ ed a man taken to court by his neighbors for dumping garbage in the street instead of paying a $3 dumping fine in his subdivi sion. The man was found guilty and fined S3OO for littering. Among other littering cases McDonald has heard was one in which a man moving furniture from one apartment to another dumped some of it along a Louisville roadway. A person who saw the illegal dumping brought suit and the man was found guilty. Other cases may be prose cuted under a public nuisance statute, which covers violations on private property. ster-dominated locals on the wa terfront and at the airports. The unions must be given back to the workers but only a courag eous Congress can bring this excessive union power under control. The Bulgarians placed a costly advertisement in an influential newspaper, inviting Americans to visit beautiful Bulgaria on their vacations. On that very same day, newspapers carried a startling report of a Bulgarian fishing vessel maliciously cut ting the fishing lines of Amer ical lobster boats directly off American shores. The American fishermen lost their catch, as well as their expensive equip ment, the tools of their trade. Estimated damage: $50,000. And this is only one of many such in cidents in the past few months. Isn't this a typical Communist ploy to sweet talk us on the one hand and to sabotage us on the other? If you were considering breezing over to Bulgaria for a holiday, think twice! Politics is too important to leave to the politicians. It's some thing all of us should be involved in, for the good of our families, our future, our communities and our country. Let your legislators hear from you, at federal, state and local levels. Otherwise, they will think the raucous liberals and the confused kids speak for all of us. And if that happens, God help us! Another reign-of-terror possi bility in South America? Insiders report a wave of fear generated by Bolivian labor leftists who are driving for "nationalization" of industry. (This, in plain English, means that if you or I or even a bank where we save our money had invested in one of these in dustries, once it's "nationalized", that's virtually the end of the in vestment, as far as we're con cerned.) Hoping to stave off an epidemic of strikes until manana, the Bolivian government is plan ning to turn over a state-owned oil company to the workers. Ap peasement like this is fine for the Bolivians, but it is plain con fiscation for the foreign investors whose money built the business in the first place. Next time you see an ad inviting you to invest in an under developed nation, remember the unfortunate Amer icans whose Bolivian invest ments were "nationalized" away to nothing sacrificial scapegoats of gov ernment workers, their families and the communities in which they live, by a punitivcly long freeze on their wages md sala ries." Beverages Bubble Dollars There's no business like fi///, business these days. It's bubbling over with profits. That's the news from one of the country's four largest bottlers of carbonated drinks, Baltimore-based Allegheny Beverage Corpor ation (over-the-counter). Allegheny President Morton M. Lapides. the third generation of his family who has been active in the soft drink industry, expects his company to earn better than 60tf a share net in 1971 on a volume of $56 million. That's almost double last year's 324 a share. And there's more. Alle gheny has launched a new subsidiary, Valu Vend, which aims to sell vending machines in smaller loca tions, an area the big vend ers ignore. Profitable right from the start in this wide open field, Valu Vend could add 404 a share to Alle gheny's net earnings, bring ing the total to SI.OO per share. One such case involved • man who collected manure from local racetracks to sell as fertilizer.

The new provision makes it "unlawful for a person under the influence of any drug to such a degree that his her physical or mental faculties are appreciably impaired to operate a motor vehicle on any highway or public vehicular area in the state*'.' Garrett noted the law previously only made it illegal to operate a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or narcotic drugs. "The change broadens the law to include not only nar cotic drugs, but any drugs, whether obtained on prescription, over the counter or purchased illegally," he said. Penalties for violating the statute are the same as those for violating the driving under the influence law-fines, imprisonment and loss of driving privileges. Garrett also pointed out the new law applies to vehicles not only on streets or high ways but any public vehicular area. "This is defined as any drive, driveway, road, roadway, street or alley, on the grounds of any public or private hospital, college, university, school, orphanage, church, or any of the institutions maintained and supported by the State of North Carolina or any of its Delegation Of Soviets In Hanoi TOKYO - A Soviet de legation led by President Ni kolai V. Podgorny arrived in Hanoi Sunday for a tour of North Vietnam, a Moscow broadcast reported. The visit came less than a week after a high-ranking Chi nese delegation signed an agreement in Hanoi providing an undisclosed amount of free economic and military aid to North Vietnam in 1972. Just before Podgorny arrived Sunday, the North Vietnamese government's party newspaper, Nhan Dan, pledged that "our people will spare no sacrifice and hardships" to fight until all U.S. troops are out of South Vietnam and President Nguyen Van Thieu's government is top pled. The daily went on to thank the Soviet Union for its support in the past and noted that Pod gorny's visit was an indication of continued assistance in its effort "to defeat the U.S. ag gression and successfully build socialism." The Moscow broadcast said the Soviet delegation to North Vietnam also included First Deputy Premier Kiril T. Mazu rov. The Russians were given a red carpet welcome by thou sands of Hanoi residents, who lined the road leading from the airport to the city. Radio Moscow said Podgorny later met with North Vietnam's President Ton Due Thang in an atmosphere of "fraternal friendship and mutual under standing." It said only that matter of mutual interest were discussed. 2 Policemen Hurt In Pre-Dawn Trouble WILMINGTON - A man was shot to death in Wilm ington Monday night as violen ce continued in the racially tense city for the fourth night. It was the first death reported. Police said Daniel J. Joye, 57. was shot in the stomach as he sat on his porch near his store in an integrated neighborhood. Joye, who was white, was deaad at a hospital. Officers said they arrested William Thomas McGhee, 31, a black, after he came to police headquarters. They said McGhee had a rifle with him. The shooting was in an area oear a part of Wilmington where three policemen were wounded Saturday night and two others were shot Sunday night. In each case officers said snipers fired at them. In a separate incident, a New Hanover County school bus was set on fire around 10 p.m. in a driveway ad joining N. C. 132, about half way between Wilmington and Carolina Beach. SBI agents investigating said preliminary examination indicated the fire was started by a bomb. A crowd of whites, many of them members of the "Rights of White People" organization, milled about a Huge Mcßae Park near mid- buition and, according to McDonald, emitted "all torts of obnoxious odors."

Two police officers were wounded slightly in the early hours of Monday morning in a gun battle with unseen snipers. Three other officers were ambushed Saturday night when they answered a false alarm in a black neighborhood. The wounds were all caused by shotgun pellets and were not serious, Police Chief H. E. Williamson said. The Monday incident began when Detective Li. William Lewis was fired on as he drove his unmarked car down Dawson Street here. He called in a foot patrol of three men who returned fire coming from a small wooded area. The officers, helmeted and business or municipal establishment providing parking space for customers, patrons or the public." wearing flak jackets, were hit in the hands, Williamson said. "We are unable to say if any of the snipers were hit by police fire," he said. No one has been treated for gunshot wounds in any of the area's hospitals, the chief said. A group of 24 officers, split into teams of six, sweet through the troubled area, fin ding no sign of the snipers. Monday night police kept watch over the city wearing flak jackets and helmets and armed with carbines and shotguns. The disturbed sec tions were quiet. Groups of men, belonging to the Rights of White People and the Ku Klux Klan, armed themselves and shadowed police cruisers, hampering police attempts at keeping the calm, Chief Williamson said. Police officers repeatedly told the groups to leave. Lowis told one group, "the best way you can help us i 9 to go home." Williamson said, "I think Decorating Tips -A By Rhonda Racx Home Decor Director Hardwood Institute HOW TO DECORATE FOR DOUBLE DIVIDENDS If you're short on space and low on funds, double divi dend decorating might be just the thing for you! All it takes is a bit of ingenuity, some careful planning and an eye for furnishings that can do two things for the price of one. Sound confusing* It shouldn't be. In fact, decorating for two purposes is just as easy as decorating for one! If you need an extra room, dual-purpose furniture can help combine the function of two areas. A den can easily double or even triple-up as a bedroom or a dining room if you choose the right fur nishings. A convertible sofa provides room for seating and sleeping. A sturdy table can function as both dining table and home-office desk. A handsome hardwood break front can house books as well as dishes, and linens, too. And comfortable dining chairs can serve as handy pull-up chairs for conversa tion groupings around your sofa. For the studio apartment dweller, dual-purpose furni ture gains the most impor tance. In this area where all functions must be combined, it's imperative to make the most of every inch of space. And if your decorating budg et is as small as your space, purchases should be made for quality, too, to get the very most for your money. Area rugs over a genuine hardwood floor divide space in addition to acting as a floor covering. A walnut, mahogany, oak, or rosewood bar can function as both watering spot and end table. There are even end tables any organization ... that tries to take the law into their own hands and attempts to take over the patrol of the city is doing nothing more than hampering the work of law enforcement." The latest tensions developed Friday night when whites and blacks fought following a football game between New Hanover and Hoggard high schools. Attendance at both schools was almost normal Monday, said associate superintendent of schools Dale Spencer. Hog gard High, with 339 of its 2,125 students absent, had an 11 per cent absentee figure. At New Hanover' High School 313 of the 2,145 students did not attend classes for an absentee rate of 14 per cent. Spencer said the normal absentee rate is seven per cent, but that "up to 15 per cent is not considered ex cessive." Police said an earlier report that officer Bill Rudowski was hospitalized Saturday night after being wounded was not correct. He returned to work after being treated for minor buckshot wounds in his chest. One fight was broken up by New Hanover deputies Monday when students clashed in the Hoggard High school cafeteria. Principal C. D. Gurganus said the incident began when one pupil threw a chair at another. No arrests resulted. In Farmville, a sihall town about 100 miles north of here, an estimated 70 blacks were arrested Monday night on charges of parading without a permit in the wake of a demonstration. George Kirby, leader of the group, said the march through the town was to show support for black brothers in Wilm ington. Sani-Flush wipes out germs.

Genuine hardwood etageres are best buys for the money and can double as handsome room dividers. Day beds, complete with hardwood frames and built-in storage, can replace the bed, along with beds that fold into small closets housed in beautiful hardwood wall systems in traditional as well as contemporary styles. A little careful scouting in your local store will re veal a wealth of pieces that do two jobs for the price of one. Once you have the right equipment, you'll undoubtedly find double div idend decorating a practical challenge. *•••» Any queations on wood?
