Political Interest Decline Is Cited By Dr. Wallace The steady decline in political interest in this country was stress ed by Dr. Earl Wallace in bis speech before the North Carolina State Student Legislature last night. Dr. Wallace is a member of the UNC Faculty Council, a u t h o r of "Politics USA," and has written for the Law Review and the Journal of Politics. He urged the legislators to take an active and informed part in po ntics and reminded them that they can be an influence on government. Effect Of Apathy "Those who do nothing more than vote participate in the poli tical struggle because their apathy aids the group with the most pow er, he said. "I would remind you, however, that playing an active part in politics requires more than good will and an interest in com munity affairs. It demands a good deal of know how." He said that challenges to gov ernment would be found in the fields of atomic energy, rockets and satellites, new methods of communications, newly asserted freedoms. Domestic Problems On the domestic scene he said that the growing labor force, auto mation, and unemployment would be our great problems. These problems must be met by a more effective government he said. And more and better politic ians is the answer to more effec tive government. "Better govern ment will come," he stated, "when people put more trust in their poli ticians and become more informed about government. was interested more in acting than in writing and spent sever al years in New York on the stage.

He has been awarded both a Guggenheim fellowship in creative fiction and a Kenyoi fellowship in fiction during his career. Robert O.

Mid West Hit The storm hurdled the Appala chians while it was still plastering parts of the Middle West with a mesy conglomeration that ranged from 9 inches of snow in Iowa and Nebraska to 2 to 6 inches of slush across the lower Great Lakes. Along a thousand-mile stretch of the Atlantic Coast, work crews began cleaning up after a mas sive winter storm that lashed the seaboard for four days. The storm Thursday gave Florida's Gold Coast a parting backlash of 20-fcct waves that took a multi-million-dollar damage toll. Kennedy Takes Action President Kennedy declared hard hit New Jersey a disaster area. Armed guards patroled coastal communities to protect against looters in the aftermath of the worst storm in 25 years. V The storm that kicked up ter rific tidal waves was far out in the Atlantic Friday. But it still sent flooding tides over some shorelines stretches and created emergencies at sea. Four-foot drifts piled up in Smoky Mountains National Park near the Tennessee-North Carolina line. More than 200 vehicles, most of them trucks, bogged down in a massive traffic tieup near Crcss ville, Tenn. Snow Smacks Virginia More than five inches of snow hit Western Virginia, and the snow kept falling. Forecasters said the snow was expected to spread east ward to the coast and north-cast-ward toward New York and New England Friday night..
