The Roundup* s f^
- By WILBORNE HARRELL
4 It seems that I stand not alone
.In my opposition to capital pun
ishment Frank Roberts, in his
'column in The Herald, has taken
.(he same stand several times.
Ordinarily I am not a crusader.
I began writing, in my early
ytars, with the starry-eyed in
tention of reforming the world,
it’; was the youth in me that
looked at mankind with naive
add trusting eyes. But after I
had’had my ears slapped down
quite a few times, I learned that
the world reforms itsdlf, through
many voices of public opin
ion. And that all I could do
was add my small voice to this
consensus, until it became a
shijpt that would be heard and
heeded by all. Gradually, over,
years, these small voices
ttujt have seen the injustice and
cruetty of capital punishment,
hare risen an'd increased in vol
ume" and intensity, until now
tjieje is a mighty shout re
verberating around the world.

ASpong the factors responsible
for this-revised expectation are

Competition is getting more

rising. The primary cause of
this is wage increases. Overall,
such increases are just about
equal tp those of last year, and
(there is not the leeway for off
setting them through increased
output per manhour that was
present iast year. This is be
cause needless overhead and oth
br sources of waste were rather
thoroughly eliminated during the

SECTION
TWO
The death knell of capital pun
ishment has been sounded. It is (
now thrashing around in its
death throes, and it is only a
matter of time when like an
evil serpent its coils will loosen,
and it will lie stretched out—a
dead thing.
The hurricane season has of
ficially begun, as of June 15,
to November 15. But the Weath
er Bureau says ‘that about 70
percent of the hurricanes occur;
during August, September and;
October. Hurricanes are some- j
thing to respect more than to
fear. A good, healthy respect
for the hurricane’s destructive!
force plus proper precautions
will allay much of your fear.
THE WEST—Many artists have
painted the Western scene, but
none were quite so successful
as Frederick Remington for
catching on canvas the spirit of
the plains, the prairies and the
[ ing effective. In industry after
we have unused capa-
I city and many inventories are
1 relatively high. Automobiles
providers perfect example. At
present the stock of care in the
, hands of dealers is approximate
■ ]y 1,100,000. A part of this is
• caused by the increased num
! ber of models being offered this
year, but this does not lessen
the amount of funds which deal
ers have tied up in their inven
tories, nor the pressure upon
them to sell cars at any price
which will give them even a re
educed profit. Somewhat the
same situation prevails in house
hold appliances and many other
fields. In a word, we are in
a buyer’s market and the sellers
, no longer can call the fune.
4. The effects of the steel
strike were more severe and
widespread than had been anti
cipated. Railroads, coal, and a
host of other industries have
been hurt. Users of steel have
found that they can get along
with smaller inventories than
formerly, because of quick de
liveries, and steel production has
dropped by some 30 percent.
5. The volume of business ac
tivity has not been as great as
had been anticipated. 'Gross na
tional product, which is the value
of ali goods and services pro
ducted, was estimated for Fed
eral budget purposes at $5lO bil
lion for the year. We crossed

THE CHOWAN HERALD
Indians and settlers ithat peopled
the land.
Frederick Remington had seen
army service and actual war
fare in the Civil War, and went
West for his health after the
cessation of hostilities. This ac
counts for his accurate and un
derstanding portrayals of the
soldier in his paintings. Rem
ington in his work specialized in
army life and Indians. He was]
also something of a sculptor and]
produced many statuettes of
soldiers, Indians and cowboys J
that have been widely repro- (
duced. But his chief claim to]
fame rests on his ..wonderful;
paintings of the West that are'
now considered classics of West
ern art. Frederick Remington
died in 1909 in Ridgefield, Con
necticut, where he had made his
i home for several years.
No compromise with commu
nism!
still possible that, the budget
[estimate will- be realized but
| many persons are beginning to
! question this forecast.
What are the effects of this
shrinkage of profits? This can
be stated in dogmatic terms: j
First, it means that the Fed-j
eral government will get less
revenue. A drop of $1 billionl
in pre-tax profits costs the gov
ernment about SSOO million, |
Secondly, corporations wil
have less money to invest for!
better machines and all the oth-,
er things that increase efficiency
of production. Some of this may 1
be offset by paying less divi
dends, but that is not a pro-1
cess which can , 'be carried .very]
far.
Finally, the nation will grow|
less rapidly than otherwise. This]
is important not only in rela
tion to Russia but, as well, in'
SSOO billion (at an annual rate)*
connection with taking care of
our growing labor force.

I ' SENATOR i
IpttViN
Washington ln my opinion
the Senate improved the so-call
ed loyalty oath bill last week.
Loyalty Oath From a legal
standpoint the legislation was
improved because i‘ retains the
loyalty oath and substitutes for
the anti-Communist affidavit -a
statutory crime which is easier
of enforcement than a prose
cution for perjury.
This is so because it is very
difficult to make out a case of
perjury in the courts, and that
was the sole remedy Which, un
der the original act, was avail
able against anyone who made a
false anti-Communist oath. This
is the result of the controversy
that was raised over the Delensu
Education Act of 1958.
1 am firm in my opinion that
»t is wise to retain the loyalty
oath in the Act and to substi
tute the criminal penalty be
cause this will result in strong
er enforcement than under the
present law.
The furor raised by the origi
nal Act should cease forthwith.
At the same time, the applicant
for assistance from the Federal
government under the Defense
| Education Act should remember
that it is the American taxpayer
who is making this possible and
I that the citizens of this country
have a right to know that public
funds are not being used to edu
cate Communists bent on the
destruction of democracy.
Defense Appropriations Last
week the Senate began extended
sessions to complete urgent legis
lation, one bill being money for
national defense. The defense
appropriations bill was passed
with funds for the B-70 bomber
program which had been shelv
ed edrlier by the Administration.
As you know, I have supported
the B-70 program and was ci'iti- !
cal of the action which halted

its development. This is a high
altitude bomber that should be
in our arsenal of weapons as a
mighty deterrent of war. The
Senate also added funds for in
creasing the Marine Corps man
power level and took other steps
that should significantly increase
our defense potential.
No Substitute Unfortunately,
there is no substitute for ade
quate national defense in this
world. While our prayers and
efforts for peace must not 'be
neglected in the slightest, it is
folly to face the world today
without a defense potential suf
ficient to meet whatever threat
arises.
Frankly Speaking
By Franc H_t>erls
If I had a nickel for everyone
that came up to me and said:
“You’re going to miss Nancy Car
son aren’t you,”, I’d be a fairly
wealthy guy for a change. Ol
course, the answer is an obvious
“yes,” an emphatic “yes.” Nan
cy was not only a fine worker,
a wonderful woman’s director,
but, most important, a truly fine
and wonderful person. Her
charming personality, her kind
ness, her warmth, her feelings
for other people, all marked her
as a rare individual. No wonder
everyone who knew her loved
her so well. As a matter of
tact, she’s one of the few per
sons about whom 1 never heard
an unkind word. Miss Nancy
Carson? Without a shadow of a
doubt! Now, though, I’d like]
to wish her well with her new:
job, continued happiness, health 1
and success. I know she’ll be
reading this so, if I may, “Nan
cy, good luck. Our thoughts arei
with you.” At the same time, i
I’d like to welcome, to the told, I

who has taken over Nancy’s job. j
A bright, intelligent and person- J
able young lady, Dolly is a wel- ,

tackling, though, so we’ll be '
wishing ,her well. j
Question of the week: How ,
would you interpret the tenth 1

IF IT’S COLLEGE FOR YOUR YOUNGSTER...
NOW IS THE TIME TO SAVE
The good jobs are going to college-trained men and women
these days, as any hiring executive will tell you. And you surely
want tour child to have that advantage.
But when vou think of the cost of college, or other special
ized training, you realize the need of saving for it as early as
you can during babyhood if possible. For this spreads pay
ments over a longer period and makes them smaller.
Think it over. Talk it over with the family. Then decide to
start jour savings program now at this strong, friendly bank.
