Jonas, the Republican U. S. Representative from Lincolnton was completing his tilth term in Congress and being touted a.s ttie GOP “wliile hope” for governor for 1964 as he had been in I960. There was little liklihood he would offer for the simple fact ho would be forsaking a safe House seat for a con siderable gamble. Meantime, there would be tlie disservice to himself in defeat for governor, and a disservice to his party in forsaking the seniority he had built in Washington. Mr. Jonas, of course, chose to stay where he was—and Mr. Jonas still is. Ten years later an almost identical situation has posed itself for U. S. Repre sentative James T. Hroyliill, Republican of Lenoir. He is completing his fifth term in Washington, attaining the pow er that seniority brings in the house. His district is considered "safe '. Differences principal are: Mr. Broyhill was being en couraged lo run for either governor or U. S. senator, he at 43 is a potential ap pealer to the new large group of voters in the 18-20 age bracket, and the finan cial heft of the jPj;oyhill family. But the possible losses to person and party remained. V", Broyhill apparently has made an “irrevocable” decision to remain wiicic .;e is in Washington, according to his slalement of Tuesday. He never seriously considered a bid for the governor’s job. In fact, he told Kings Mountain State Senator Ollie Harris weeks ago, “You can go home and bet 10 toil Jim Broyhill won’t run for governor and I'll guarantee youll win.” Problem of Grass ' Kings Mountain's chief of police said months ago that the community has its incidence of “grass”, vernacular in the trade for users of marijuana, which is, indeed, a grass. Today, grass, not “grass”, is a pro blem of virtually the whole community. But not “grass”. In the Bromfield novel “The Rains Came” and Ihe rains have come to Kings Mountain and the surrounding area. With the rains have como copious lawns that cry for the mower. When the sun broke through Tuesday, virtually all lawns were past the push mower stage, some needing a double going-over by the power variety, and others even test ing that tribute to man’s ingenuity, the riding mowc'r. Oscar Gladden says it’s the wettest summer he remembers since 1908. PenefUs oi Ridges In his coverage of the approval by the Conservation & Development de partment of Crowder's and Kings Moun tain a.s a state park site, Dave Baity quoted George Ball, head of the conser vation. Mr. Ball outlined .some of the bene fits of the ridges, among them: they break up windstorms, they grow rare flora, they collect rainfall and feed it into Ihe underground water table. It was news to many that the strip- mining and leveling of Henry’s Kndb caused wells in the surrounding area to dry up. Postal Service, Already? Little more than a month in har ness, the new Postal Service, semi-di vorced from Uncle Sam’s main stable of agencies, the new pony e.xpress is in financial trouble, its manager says. In spite of the heavy rate increases imposed in May before the new quasi- govornment agency came into being July 1, there looms a deficit of nearly $500 million over and above the subsidy Con gress has approved. Congress appropriates more or rates escalate more-and-fast, say the manag- er.s. There were many skeptics, both postoffice professionals and citizens, of the laudatory claims of proponents of the change whereby the postal opera tion is no longer a direct governmental operation and there is no longer a post- office boss of cabinet rank. One Kings Mountain postman was wondering aloud whether a regional boss arrangement would—or could—be better than the old one. “I can’t see much difference,” he commented. Nor can we. With its myriad of “loss” agencies, it would appear that Congress and post al deficit critics have long pulled the ostritch act (head in the sand) when wailing about postal subsidies out of jhe federal treasury. Congress for some decades, actual ly since Pearl Harbor, has tended to ap- pi'opriate more for defense than even the wasteful crowd at the Pentagon has asked.'- A few weeks later there was some indications Mr. Broyhill was getting ex cited about unseating U. S. Senator Ev erett Jordan, but the excitement was brief, culminating in Tuesday’s state ment. It’s a long, hard road to the top in the House and five terms, particularly when his is the minority party, means a good leg up toward that top. By the numbers of last year’s and prior general elections and in spite of a sl'ght switching of counties via re-dis- ti'icting, Mr. Broyhill will be hard to head In 1972. Cleveland County is the Democratic bastion in the tenth Con gressional district. Once-bastion Gaston went to Broyhill in the 1970 election. As much as all government grant programs may be worthwhile and rever ed, can any claim to bind the nation to gether more than the vital passing of the mails from sender to addressee? In the past few months, Congress has “bought” the bankrupt Penn-Central railroad and potentially bankrupt Lock heed Aircraft Company via loan guar antees. :r.l.ss little sense to worry about Iho postal problem, a paltry piece of the federal finanical pie. The Naarrow Streets The Herald commented last week on a fine street, garbling the name by three blocks from Cansler to Gaston, and proclaimed for good the topping King street is now getting. As anyone driving a’ town knows, the majority of Kings Ivn. ntain’s streets, designed for the comparatively narrow T-Model and comparable autos of that era, are too narrow to accommo date today's wide models. Two principal ones, carrying large amounts of traffic, are West Mountain street in the business section, and West OrtW Va act, from the rail crossing to Phifer road. Dr. Nathan Reed, who practices optometries at the corner of West Gold and South Cansler, labels the street “High School Speedway”. Limited to one-side parking several years ago by the Bridges Administration, it appears today that no-parking should be decreed for this strip which does carry, nine months a year, a large volume of traffic to and from Kings Mountain high school. In the business section strip of West Mountain, it is almost literally, worth one’s life to exit after parking. A too- quick opening of a door on left hand side of the car, can (and has) cost the door. There’s no question that one-side parking here is needed—or that such a decree would be odious to merchants in this area. But tie squeeze on passenger cars is close. Meet a truck?

Green Post 155, American Le gion, contained an item of par ticular interest to navy and coa-^t guacd members. It read: “Our ad jutant has a coropleito list of all the fighting ships of the U. S. Navy and U. S. Coast Guard from 1883 to date. Pictures can be ob tained beginning at $2 for an 8 X 10 unframed black- and white ' to $15 for a 16 X 20 framed hand I colored job.

GIVING BACK SUMMER GUNS AND KILLINGS 1 There’s still some of Huck Finn ' in all of us—summer comes and I we dream of driliting lazily down the Mississippi in a homemade raft, free of the restraints and complaints of life. ‘‘By the way, Joe,” I asked, “did you order black-and-white! or color?” m-m “Ahem,” Joe replied, “black- and-white.” m-m It is axiomatic thnit an/ branch of service takes care of ils own. A guy named Hart from New York, with a gimpy leg and a dangling wrist as result of a 'pa trol plane crack-up af Port Lyaut- ey, shared a stateroom on the ‘ nine-day voyage from North Af rica. .Acro.Ss the passageway, in the same size stateroom, reiiosed nine army wounded, none ol whom would accept my pi-.affei of a wager they’d get seasick be fore reaching port. Tney missed a bet. The ocean was a repLva ol placid Lake Montoni-a for tiie whole voyage, with the only sem blance of a ripple the entrance to Boston harbor. Humes Houston asked a few Tuesdays ago if I had seen the Monday night movie, a well-done British film on the battle of Dun kerque. I had. We agreed that the movie w-as well-laced with the real stuff, film clips on scene at t'he time the British rescued 238,000 of Uieir own trapped sol dieis plus 20,000 French. I was reminded of an inteirest- Ing incident in Humes' service. One of the young men in his out fit was named Kesselring, wbo was the son of German Field Marsliai Albert Kesselring. No Nazi and suspicious thereof, Prussian Kesselring, at the Hitler take over had sent his wife and sen to the United States. Young Kesselring had entered the army from Chicago. "Ho wtts a good sildior,” Humes recalls. Still in the States, young Kesselring got transfer orders. He approached Humes, "Lieutenant, when I learn my new address, could I lot you know and have you for ward my mail?” Why, sure, When Kesselring packed off, it was the hist Humes saw or heard of the young son of the Field Marshal, What "happened to him? Was he put to work in tlic code room as a cryptanologist, was he a-tsignod to OSS as a spy, was he used as an interpreter in interogations of German prison ers, or did he serve as Just an other GI in some other outfit?

Wlien my husbitnd was a boy, he and his pot, old Joe the Cro^v, went exploring in fields which are now a housing development where children don’t even see crows. 'Die little creek I used to look for crayfish in has been, for all practical purposes (such as .sitting and dreaming) demolish ed by pollution and litter. And you don’t have to be “over thirty” to have your special bit of nature destroyed for you. The woods whero my teen-age nephews used to play tag is now a parking lot for bulldozers and payloaders. And the field behind our house where my son, who is now eight, used to watch a fam ily of pheasants marching along every spring, is now a road, with three houses, four half-built houses, and a cellar hole. Our family is no exception. It’s the same for everyone. The population is growing larg er, and the open spaces smaller, every year. And the cities are wtorse. There the children have only streets, or, for the fortunate, -a few sup ervised outings to parli and mu seums, orderly itirii>s with Mamma or with well-organizetl groups. Can freedom and population pressure go hand in hand? Not for ohildren—ehlldren need some space to be themselves, free of constant surveillanice and yeit safe from such dangers as cars, trucks, and gangs of trou ble-makers. We need to build a world that is better for ohUdren'—a clean xrorld, an unpolluted world, a world w:(tere there is space to ex plore with a feeling of freedom and expansi'veness.

Wyte, 100 Welfe 'St., TIio wounding of two police men and the slaying of two oth ers in New York in retent days .should alert Americans to two dangers: First, such murderous atfacfc are the surfacings of a widespread disrespect and hatred of tire in struments of law in sociiPty. It may be that a clandestine group whieli calls itself Ihe "Righteous Brothers of the Black Liberation Army” pulled the trig gers in Harlem, as it claims. It may be that blacks in New York and other parts of the country have a history of grievances a- gainst the police. It may be that many whites also see Hie police as instruments of repression. But the present hatred of police is more widespread tlian Hie opera tions of'militant groups. To "ride" as well as deride the police is a vogue among many of tile young and many intellectuals. Witliout a climate w'liich makes the pol ice a target of animosity, the violent attacks on them would be fewer. At heart, attacks on the police are attacks on the liberty protecting restraints of society and law itself. Second, the reei-nt attacks should impel progress on limiting the availability of handguns. How strange it is that America balks at meaningful private anrt- eontrol! This past Jonuary, (he National Commission on Reform of Federal Criminal Laws urged the utter banning of the private ownership of handguns and the registration of a'll other fire arms. We seconded tliis. -As it is, Congrc.ss ha.s been weighing a proposal that would waken the 1968 private arms bill (by ending the nametaking of ammunition buyers), not .streng then it. A New York congri-ssman has proposed legislation that would prohibit the manufactUTo and sale of a particularly sini.ster species of handgun—^the so-called “Saturday night special.” These pistols sell for loss than $10. More than two million are ex pected to be sold in the United States next year. If thi\ federal government is going to take any meaningful steps to reduce de:ui- ly assault — aaginst citizens as well as police — in America, surely it can begin by banning Beef producers are anticipat ing a good market for their f.all harvest of fcodcr cattle anil L’alves.
