Paul Swaity, vice - president and Southern regional direc tor of the Textile Workers Un ion of America, made this as sessment Friday afternoon while speaking on "The need for labor unions in the South." His speech at the Wesley Foundation was sponsored by the League for Industrial De mocracy of the Students for a ' Democratic Society.

The thunder of the Ameri can Falls muffled today as en gineers reduced by 75 per cent the normal water flow of 60, 000 gallons per second over the famed cataract. By 11 a.m. yesterday, only some 15,000 gallons per sec ond was spilling over the 182 foot - high escarpment. The bulk of the water was being diverted over the larger Horseshoe Falls. Massive ice Jams in 1903, 1909, 1935 and 1955 cut the flow to a trickle. In 1S83, the State Power Authority and the Ontario Hy dro - electric Commission join ed to reduce the flow to al low inspection of the upper Niagara River preparatory to dredging. Today's slowdown was ef fected by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers to per mit visual inspection of the rock over which the water flows. The inspection is part of a $50,000 study aimed at preventing destruction by ero sion.. Erosion was blamed for slid es in 1931 and 1S54 that creat ed massive rock piles at the base of th2 American Falls. Minor rock falls since have added to the piles. rubber plantation about 65 miles northwest of Saigon. It is part of war zone C, where about 30,000 Americans are now engaged in Operation At tleboro. Huff plunged into the jun gle with his command unit of 11 men in column. Bravo Com pany was supposed to be just ahead. Vines looped around necks, some playing out five feet before stopping the men short. Big . raindrops hit hard. At about 2:30 p.m., Huff asked by radio where Bravo Company was. Bravo indicat ed it was behind the colonel. That made the command unit the point first into the ene my area. "What a way to make a buck!" Huff said. A wiry 5 - foot - 10, with bushy eyebrows and blue eyes, he traveled behind the trail braker. Another hour brought the unit to a jungle path. "Look out for wires," said a trap - conscious soldier. The trail turned left into a clearing, ran for 10 yards and then turned right at a 90 - SwaMy Presents Case "Employers of low wage earners have been convinced by the Chambers of Commerce in the small Southern towns that they didn't need unions," Swaity said. In the meantime, he said, "the labor supply has been gobbled up, but the low wages and abuses of human beings remain." Swaity said that out of the 50 most poverty stricken areas in this country, 46 are in the South. He cited data from the Bu reau of Labor Statistics which show that 36 per cent of the factory production workers in the South are working below the poverty level of $3,000 set by the federal government.

She Just By NELSON THOMAS DTH Staff Writer It was a damp day for a ball game, but to one 60-year old woman it was a good day for the first football game she had ever seen. In a brown trenchcoat with a plastic rain bonnet she looked more like a Soviet spy than a mother, like they used to when Charlie Justice was playing. Mrs. Bertha Thomas (my Mother) was impressed with the way the Tar Heels play ed in the second half. The first half was a different story. All through the first half she kept yelling, "Take the cheer degree angle. After making the second turn, Huff crouched and quietly waved everyone flat in the mud. There was the bass roar of a claymore and a brown jet of smoke surged over the men three feet off the ground. "I came on this trench," said Huff. "There wasn't any one there, but I turned, and wham." The man in front of Huff died instantly. The Colonel was hit in the chest, but could still move well and give or 'ders. Then came a second roar and pellets chopped at those who had not approached the turn. "I've lost my breath I think," an infantryman yelled. "Christ, no, I'm hit, I'm hit." Air seem ed to hiss from a wound in his right lung. : Two more were dead and two others seriously wounded. Medical Sgt. Joseph Fred erickson of San Pedro, Calif., attended to the wounded. A radioman, Sgt. Leonard Ross, of Columbus, Ga., tried to help the man who died near Huff. "when the minimum wage goes up next February, 50,000 textile workers in the South will be affected." "There are many other economic aspects that show the need for labor unions," he said, "for one thing there are fewer paid holidays in the non union textile mills than in those which are unionized. "There are some textile workers in this state who only get one or two paid holidays a year. "There is also less insur ance paid by. the employers on the employees behalf and many other fringe benefits which don't exist in the tex tile industry." Swaity said there were also many "human aspects" to the story. He read several letters 60-Year Old And Her First Game Didn't Cheer Right leaders out and put the play ers in." This went over big since we were sitting in the middle of the Carolina alumni section. I thought we were going to get tossed on our ears. She had had no tangible knowledge of the game of football, so I had spent a good bit of the time trying to ex plain what was happening. The is one reason I don't often date 60 year old women to foot ball games. When Carolina fumbled for the third time, Morther could only sit there with her hands over her mouth and mumble, Fin Hit 9 The soldier hit in the lung said, "Don't leave me. I can't breathe. Help me. Frederick son. . . Frederickson. . . ." "The others are taking it well," Frederickson told him. "Come on, you can do it too." "Give him some morphine, Frederickson," a GI suggest ed. "He's hit in the chest, can't," the medic answered. Huff radioed for helicopters to take out the casulaties. It was nearly dark. Rain inter fered with the smoke gre nade signals. After an hour a helicopter landed in the little clearing. The wounded were lifted up a hoist. The dead were limp in the hoist straps, chalky bodies with auburn stains. The rain stopped. Then came Bravo Company. A patrol moved toward the point where Huff was hit. , . Huff refused to be evacuted despite his chest wound. He ordered the men to dig in for the night. "I don't know where we are now exactly," he said. "The helicopters do. But we'll stay here tonight, that's for sure." his office had received from workers throughout the South. One woman had written that she did not get a supper break in the textile mill in which she worked. She said many people ate while in the rest room. "Another man wrote this: 'Every person in my plant is under threat of losing his job if he misses work for sick ness.' " "How do you correct injus tices of this kind?" Swaity asked. "People went to the polls this week and voiced their opinions," he said. "If they didn't like the way things were going, they changed them. But how does a factory worker change things? "The only way to have good V I W ?v THE TAR HEELS fumbled three times in the first quarter; Air Force capitalized on each for a total of 17 points, DTH Photos by Ernest H. Robl "That can't be." Sorry 'bout that Mom, but it is true. She really got up set when Air Force scored the second time. "Dia Carolina play like this against Clemson?" That went over the wrong way. (My bro ther is a senior at Clems. a.) Have you ever tried to tell ,jour mother to "Shut up!"? :t Well, I had to and more than once before the game was over. She was fairly quiet during the first half. But the second half started, the sun came out and mother started. She went wild. She was jumping up and down and yelling along with the rest of us. Of course she had reason to, Carolina was looking like a real team. Her recurring question was, "Why didn't the team play like this during the first half?" That one I let pass. From what I could tell, she enjoyed the whole show; she even got a kick out of the Air Force show at half - time. "It was a shame the team couldn't have won." That seems to sum up the entire day. It was raining all the way to Chapel Hill; the bands did not get to put on their part of half time; Carolina lost the game; and she did not get to see all of the color that goes along with the Carolina games. But, after 60 years, she has become accustomed what is called disappointment. Next year she has promised to come up for the Clemson game and yell for Clemson. In that case my next feature will be the death of my moth er at a Carolina football game or the last live football, game my 60 - year old mother ever saw. For Unions and responsible government is to have representative govern ment. For the worker, the way to insure good management is to have collective bargaining prevail. "But only 6.7 per cent of the industrial workers in North Carolina are organized," he continued. "Collective bar gaining almost doesn't exist in North Carolina." Swaity noted that in m o s t states, the employer pays most if not all of the insur ance costs of the employee. He said that in North Caro lina, though, most of the in surance cost is paid by the employee. "Many large employers are getting kickbacks on insur ance premiums at the end of the year kickbacks from Shutterbug Shoots Space CAPE KENNEDY, Fla., ( AP) An awed, star - gazing shutterbug, Edwin E. (Buzz) Aldrin Jr. poked head and shoulders out the roof of his spaceship for more than two hours yesterday as the Gemi ni 12 pilots spent an exotic day exploring heavenly sec rets. Whipping him 42,000 miles through an ocean of void, Al drin's excursion became a smooth, chatty prelude to an even more action - packed day today when he will stage a searching, two-hour walk to see how well man can work outside. The sun, moon and stars, plus the world beneath them, held the astronauts' interests after pesky problems with a target rocket linked to their nose seemed to have disap peared. Aldrin and his champion fly ing partner, James A. Lovell Jr., skillfully chased the moon across the face of the sun, cap italizing on an opportunity to snap man's first, perhaps most revealing, pictures of a rare solar eclipse from space. When Aldrin first stood up, bundled snugly in a bulky spacesuit with oxygen hoses keeping him tied to the seat, he noted: "It looks like I have a small tendency to float out, but very little. I'm com pletely free. I push myself away and it feels better. . ." "We've got some of that pri mer cord hanging around the aft (rear)," he said. "Looks like I'll have to pull some of that stuff away when I get back there." His spacewalk, designed to probe baffling questions uncov ered by strollers before him, will take him to the rear where a "work bench" is designed with simple tasks for him. Aldrin used an ultra - violet camera mounted on the side of the spacecraft to take the pic tures of star fields, mainly Cas siopeia and Sirius. the premiums paid by the em ployee and the workers don't even know about it," he said. What does Swaity think the future will be for labor unions in the South? The future is bleak for many, many reasons, he said. "When employees try to or ganize they are blacklisted, which means they can't get a job elsewhere because other mills get their name. "To further prevent any or ganization, there is a no so liciting rule' in the factories which means that anyone caught talking about unions can be accused of soliciting." "To make things more dif ficult for us in the TWU," Swaity said, "when people write us, the first thing they On Carolina By SANDY TREAD WELL DTH Sports Editor The Tar Heels of North Carolina fell to the Falcons from the Air Force Academy by a 20-14 final score yester day in Kenan Stadium. "In the first half we played, the worst football you can play. In the second half we played pretty good ball." That's the way Carolina's head coach Jim Hickey quiet ly described the afternoon to a group of reporters after the game. That's the way it was, a strange mixture of good and bad. The weather was overcast and the field was wet. There was no halftime show, except for a disobedient falcon who flew away. The voice over the public address system announced that 31,000 people were watch ing the game, and that was a bit of an exaggeration. There was a first half which can only be described as a nightmare for the North Car olina football players and their coach. Just about every thing that could have gone wrong indeed did. David Riggs and Tom Lampman, both known for their ability to retain posses sion of the football when tack led, fumbled three times be- CPU To Hear Olcott Deming Speak Tonight Olcott H. Deming, the first U. S. Ambassador to Uganda and now a "diplomat - in -residence" here, will speak to the Carolina Political Union at 7:30 tonight on "Uganda and U. S. Policy in Africa." Members and invited guests may attend the discussion in the Grail Room. C.P.U. mem bers will be photographed at 7 p.m. for the "Yackety-Yack" prior to Deming's talk. Born in New York City in 1909, Deming graduated from Rollins College in 1935 and pur sued graduate studies in Eng lish literature at the Univer sity of Tennessee from 1935 to 1937. He was a research assist ant for the Tennessee Valley Authority and an instructor of Spanish and English in New England private schools before joining the State Department in 1943. After holding Foreign Ser vice posts in Bangkok, Tokyo, Okinawa and the United Na tions, Deming was appointed the first U. S. Ambassador to Uganda in January, 1963. He served in this post until last July, and is now one of "diplomats - in - residence," available to students and fa culty at U.N.C., Duke and N.C. State for seminars, consulta tions, and speaking engage ments. Deming is a member of the Foreign Service Association and the Asiatic Society and is on the Rollins College Board of Trustees. In South say is 'Please don't realease my name.' "How do you organize when you can't use peoples names?" "Also," Swaity said, "some big employers have a new breed of lawyers' in the South that advise them on how to subvert the law,. such as the Wagner Act, which provides for the right to self - organi zation. "These lawyers get out of school and work a while for the National Labor Relations Board, not because they are interested in Labor but be cause there they can learn the loopholes." Swaity said, "Past experi ence has shown the problems in trying to form a union. tween them in the first quar ter. The Falcons capitalized each time, first for a field goal and then two touchdowns for 17 points. Luckless Danny Talbott suf fered a concussion and Tom Ingle was also injured and forced to sit out the rest of the afternoon. With just seventeen seconds remaining in the half Dick Hall kicked his second field goal and added three more points to Air Force's side of the scoreboard. During the first thirty foot ball minutes Carolina's run ning attack, or the lack of it, was stopped cold. The Tar Heel backs gained only 11 net yards on the ground. But quarterbacks Tim Karrs and, during the instant he was in the game, Danny Talbott led their team to seven first downs in the air. They successfully found end Charlie Carr eight times on short patterns. If there was a bright spot during the half it was the individual perform ance of Carr. But each drive was destroy ed by the fumbles, penalties, and one interception. The Tar Heels defensive unit didn't fare much better. The Falcons led by quarter back Steve Turner marched into the goal line twice be tween field goals on drives of 72 yards in 7 plays and 34 yards in two plays. Turner threw beautifully and shared the running chores with his tailback Mike Gurth. With 1:53 remaining in the first quarter Turner fored on a quarterback sneak from the ' two yard line. The Tar Heels fumbled on their next set of downs and Falcon defensive end John Hayden recovered on the Tar Heels' 34. Turner gave the ball to Gurth on the first play from scrimmage for 4 yards. Then Turner rolled out to his right side and kept on going for thirty yards and on into the end zone. After the half the Tar Heels returned onto the field for what everyone in the Stadium thought would be more of the same. Only one fact kept the Car olina fans from marching away from the game to avoid the agony of the second half. Charlie Carr was two re ceptions short of the all-time school record of 10 Bob Lacey set in 1962 and repeated in 1963. The 31,000 fans wanted to see the talented junior re write the record book. They saw Carr break the single game reception record, and they saw him go on to catch five more for a total of 16. And they saw much much more. In the second half the Tar Heels came alive. In the first half the offense and defense dug themselves deep into a hole. But in the second both units, working valiantly and effectively to gether, tried to crawl their way out. They almost made it. Throughout the second half Continued On Page 5 "When the workers struck a plant in a small North Caro lina town, the merchants of the town intimidated the work ers, and demanded payment for items the workers had bought on credit. "Pretty soon, the workers were left with nothing and forced to look for jobs else where, often as gas station attendants." "Plant after plant has closed after the workers or ganized," he said. "And when we finally have won union elections in the few cases," he added, "the employers use the argument: 'So the unions won an election they still don't have a con tract.' "
