He said the National Security Council has had two meetings and he has spent hours at night reading foreign policy papers. But he said beyond that, the problems of the cities and eco nomic problems require urgent attention and both have been discussed with the appropriate officials. JNixon said he has noted expressions of interest on the possibility of admitting Commu nist China to the United Na tions. He said his administration will continue to oppose admis sion. In the jammed news confer ence, broadcast live from the White House, Nixon said he fa vors the nuclear nonprolifera tion treaty and said the only question is the timing of the rat ification of the pact. He said that question would be discussed in a National Secu rity Council meeting this week and with congressional leaders. Then, Nixon said, he will make a decision on when the treaty should be approved. Nixon added he also favors talks with the Soviet Union on reduction of strategic arms, but said the question again was an other matter of timing. Arms reduction itself ■ would not achieve peace, he said, add ing talks are needed when they will permit solution of “out standing political problems at the same time. He cited the Middle East as an example. Nixon said there have been suggestions for four power talks on the Mideast, that the United Nations should be the principal peace seeking forum, that the United States and the Soviet Un ion should hold bilateral talks or that the parties concerned should solve it. He said the whole question will be discussed all day Satur day, but in any case there is a need for new initiatives by the United States. The Mideast situation could lead to “a confrontation be tween the nuclear powers, he said, so a solution must urgently be sought. He said he is open to any suggestions. ^^ORGE W.

(AP Wirephoto) Light.of history Archives and history moving chief of overseas missions of the United Church of Christ and an influential figure in interdenom inational affairs, says a “steady slippage has occurred in church sympathy for Israel. “The 'price we may have to pay for it has caused some sec ond thoughts, he said in an in terview, citing the dangers of a collision between Russia and the United States. “We re beginning to wonder about it. Church peo pie are getting nervous. The shifting sentiment in church quarlerji, which have appeared increas ingly in articles and statements in church periodicals expound ing Arab viewpoints, has evoked dismay among Jewish leaders. It “threatens to undermine Jewish Christian relationships and stir up anti Semitism, says Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum, direc tor of interreligous affairs for the American Jewish Commit tee. Some churchmen said assess ing the conflict on strictly mor al grounds has become point less 8 a conclusion which Dr. Carleton said “may seem cyni cal but which he insisted is realistic in face of the harden ing impasse. “Right or wrong, the Arab at titude is a fact, said the Rev. Dr. David M. Stowe, head of the overseas ministries division of the National Council of Church es. “We ve got to deal with that fact, to diffuse it. Dr. Carleton said critics still support Israel s right to exist, but oppose its resort to spiral ing retaliatory acts. Early this week, an off the record interfaith discussion was held here at the headquarters of the National Conference of Christians and Jews to try to find means to ease the rising tensions over the issue. By Christopher Crittenden N.C. Dept, of Archives and History Written for the Associated Press RALEIGH (AP) — It s mov ing time for the State Library and the State Archives. The li brary is moving first because it is now occupying rented space, which is costing the state mon ey. Outside time estimate for moving the library is one month, hopefully less. The con tractor for moving both agen cies is Parker Brothers of Ra leigh, who has previously moved certain divisions of Archives and History. For Crchies and History some 12,000 cubic feet of records will need to be moved. That s from 20 million to 40 million individu al documents. For the archives there is a peculiar problem. If a manu script is lost, the chances are that it is unique—cannot be re placed. So extreme care will need to be taken. The archives include records dating from only a few years back to three centuries and more. Some of them go far back into the colonial period. A big problem will be to keep the search rooms (where the public makes use of the records both old and new) open during the moving, and to keep the rec ords available for public use. Undoubtedly some records can not be had at all times, but there will be a minimum of in convenience to researchers. In case of rain or snow, the work will be postponed until the weather clears. The records must not be damaged, especial ly by water. Once in the new building, the records will be placed in spe cially designed, air conditioned, protected areas. The moving will be completed in a few weeks. By FRED S. HOFFMAN AP Military Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — Secre tary of Defense Melvin R, Laird announced today he has ordered a high level Pentagon study of the Pueblo case “to see that in cidents of this kind do not hap pen again. At his first news conference as Pentagon chief, Laird said he had appointed Deputy Secretary of Defense David Packard to head the study and oversee mat ters involving the intelligence ship, whose capture is being in vestigated by a Navy court of inquiry in California. The ship was seized by North Korean naval forces Jan. 23, 1968. Laird said “the matter is being very carefully watched by Packard—among other things, to see that the interests of its skipper and crewmen have been and are protected. The new defense chief said the court of inquiry is “well in hand but that he felt the wide spread public interest in the matter required high level De fense Department attention to the situation. On other matters, Laird; —Announced that Packard, his second in command, will conduct a wide ranging review of the Johnson administration s defense budget, including whether some key programs should be decreased or in creased to insure maximum na tional security at the lowest pos sible cost. —Said he will be going to South Vietnam in the not too distant future. —Said the military situation in Vietnam has “improved somewhat in the past 12 months and that the South Viet namese army is on the upgrade. Laird declined to discuss pos sible U.S. troop withdrawals from South Vietnam, saying “I don t think it would be useful to talk about unilateral withdrawal now that we are in substantive talks in Paris.

For those who may be interested, the young lady is Erin O’Reilly By JOHN CUNNIFF AP Business Analyst NEW YORK (AP) — In No vember there were 2,643,000 Americans out of work; 354,000 of them had been jobless for 15 weeks or more. Stated as percentages, these figures are small, 3.3 per cent of the labor force. In human terms, however, the numbers are lamentably high. At the same time that so many people were out of work, the help wanted advertising in dex, compiled from classified ads in 52 newspapers by the Na tional Industrial Conference Board, reached an all-time high. In other words, while millions of Americans were seeking work, thousands of companies were running thousands of ads looking for thousands of work ers. And, it might be assumed, they were not finding them. There are some obvious rea sons for this. Among them; geographical differences, insufficient train ing, age, health, sex and—it cannot be ignored—race. These factors helped prevent the matching of want and need. But another factor, the lack of com prehensive information on job availability, may also be in volved.

(AP Wirephoto) Committee chairman opposed to revisions For some reason the United States has never tackled its studies of job vacancies nearly as vigorously as it studies un- employment. An amazing amount of statistics is available on the latter, relatively little on the former. It was once put this way by Arthur F. Burns, then head of the National Bureau of Econom ic Research and newly installed in the powerful position of coun selor to President Nixon; “It is not enough to have in formation on the supply side of the labor market. We also need reasonably good data on the de mand for labor. We need to know what employment oppor tunities exist for those able, willing and seeking to work. The country needs to have this information. Burns said, “month by month, on an over all basis, and also for local areas and individual occupa tions. Burns remarks were included in a study of job vacancies pub lished three years ago by the National Bureau of Economic Research. But it was only this month that the Labor Depart ment decided that such studies should be made available to both government and industry. By REESE HART Associated Press Writer RALEIGH (AP) — The chair man of the North Carolina Sen ate Committee which will ban die proposed amendments to the state constitution made it plain today he is opposed to some of the revisions and would not introduce bills dealing with them. HiUwever, Sen. Julian Alls brook, D-Halifax, told the Sen ate Constitution Committee at its organizational meeting that “regardless of my personal views everyone will be given a chance to be heard on the proposed changes in the consti tution. Allsbrook has been outspoken against proposed amendments to give the North Carolina gov ernor veto power and to allow the governor to succeed himself for one four-year term. A constitutional study com mission headed by former Chief Justice E. B. Denny of the State Supreme Court recommended 10 amendments in December to revise the century old state constitution. Allsbrook told the committee that normally the chairman of the committee introduces bills. “But I have never believed in introducing a bill just to get it before the legislature, he plinted out. He said he was not prepared to recommend some of the pro posed amendments and there fore would not sponsor the bills. One senator said following the meeting, “There s a ques tion of just who will introduce the bills since there s much op position against si^u^ If approved by the legislature, the constitutional amendments would have to be submitted to a vote of the people.
