Fountain said Wednesday that field surveys will be underway this spring on the deepening of the Roanoke River channel from Weldon to Willi amston. The Corps of Engineers held a public hearing last April on the proposal which ?if fin ally approved ? would open the Roanoke to barge traffic. The Engineers are now con ducting a survey to see if the project would be feasible from a cost and benefit ratio. "Colonel Snow of the Engin eers has informed me that by summer his men will have made hydrographlc surveys, probed the river bottom, map ped the area near the old canal at Roanoke Rapids and se lected possible sites for locks and dams," Fountain said. "I also understand data is be ing collected on the estimated rates for moving commodities by barge and other methods of transportation so that they can be compared." Fountain endorsed the pro posal last year as a potential means of encouraging Industrial development in the Roanoke basin and creating jobs. The channel would have to be made deeper before It could be used for navigation by barges and other forms of water trans port. The Administration Budget contains funds to continue the study in the 1969 fiscal year which begins July 1. The study Is to be completed In fiscal 1970.

But after the events of recent weeks, no thing should be surprising any more. All of us, however, can share In the hope that the disorders, riots, burnings, killings, and lootings are past. The killing of Dr. Martin Luther King was, of course, unfortunate, tragic and coward ly, but it provided no Justifi cation for the violence that fol lowed. It was not even given as a reason in many inter views I have seen and read with persons who took part. I think it is now fairly obvious that his death was simply used as an excuse for violence by those who had no sorrow In their hearts. In Washington, the origin of the trouble is quite clear. Short ly after news of the Memphis assassination reached here, Stokely Carmlchael organized a street gang and began de manding of merchants that they close their stores. Now no private citizen has the right or duty to tell another private citizen what to do, es pecially when the latter is engaged in going about his own business in a responsible, legal and honest manner. But this is what Carmlchael did. He demanded that the stores be closed and ordered custom ers to leave. Most did so, ob viously in fear of their lives in the presence of Carmichael and his gang of young toughs. As Carmichael moved along the street, his gang grew in size. Other residents crowded out onto the streets to follow and watch. In a few minutes the trouble started. Soon window breaking, looting and burning were rampant. There is no question in the minds of many of the on-the scene observers here that Stokely Carmlchael, who has no support from the responsible Negro community, Ignited the violence in Washington that end ed only after more than 12,000 National Guardsmen and Fed ?ral troops were called In to restore order, and after over 045 buildings Including 283 bousing units and 909 business, were damaged or destroyed at a loss of over $12.5million, with out Including any of the contents of this damaged or destroyed property. Any situation thai degen erates into mob action is dif ficult to control. Carmlchael knew that as well as anyone. It has been reported here that his activity started only after he received a telephone call from an unidentified source. In any event, Carmlchael should be swiftly prosecuted for his part? a major part ? in Washington's trouble. In fact, I still can't understand why the long arm of the law has not already taken care of him. If It doesn't soon, he may well be come the victim of his own vio lent teachings. It has become public know ledge here that the authorities were so fearful that the Negro residents of the area being sacked were about to declare open war on the rioters, that a 5:30 p. m. curfew was quickly changed to 4 p. m. That early curfew is credited with saving Washington from violence that might still be raging.

Only a very few persons took part In the recent dis orders. The ones who suffer ed the most were their own neighbors and, for the most part of the same race. Martin Luther King would not have condoned such vio lence. His widow did not. In fact, even before he was bur ied, she spoke out against it. I don't think any responsible person of any race or creed would even attempt to excuse such criminal destruction of life and property because of what happened in Memphis. For the good and safety of every Ameri can of every creed and race and color, such criminal acts of violence should and must be dealt with promptly and firmly by whatever means necessary if we are to survive as a civiliz ed people and a free nation. Otherwise, nothing worthwhile will be left for any of us, black or white, rich or poor, high or low, responsible citizen or van dal, when tomorrow comes. and Mrs. Walter Ham in Klt trell on Sunday In honor of Mrs. George Bender'i< birthday. lira.
