LA 4-3321 to think Nixon does have a good chance, as of now, to carry this state. Their opinions ranged from a bare possibility to a better than even chance. While we todk noth ing even resembling a poll, my Impression is that the majority of the some 150 newsmen at the meeting give Nixon an even or better than even break. How much will the religious Is sue influence the voting? Nobody seemed sure. But there was a gen eral feeling that It certainly is not the only factor. Civil rights was cited as one. While both platforms may seem to Southerners extreme on this issue, several reporters suggest ed that many North Carolinians resent the Democratic civil rights plank especially ? possibly be cause they feel, subconsciously, perhaps, that the South had a right to expect more considera tion from the Democratic than from the Republican party. The thing mentioned most of ten, though, was the industrializ ation of this state. Over the years, it has brought an ever-growing number of people from the North and West into North Carolina. Most of them are Republicans. For years, they've voted the Re publican ticket nationally, the Democratic locally. And as indus try has become more and more dominant in the economics of North Carolina, the Republican thinking of industrialists has seeped down to more and more people employed in industry, or indirectly dependent on industry. The "big spending" attributed to the Democrats is a factor in this industrial attitude toward poli tics. Illustrating this were the con clusions of reporters from indus trial centers. More than one Char lotte newsmean said flatly that Mecklenburg county will go Re publican, ? maybe from President to constable. And an outstanding news figure from Greensboro pre dicted that Guilford, too. is al most certain to support Nixon, and maybe Gavin. I was impress by three interest ing things about the gubernator ial race: While a number of reporters think Gavin has a chance to win AM1T0NE* relieves Upset Stomach f the way MilkRelieves Ulcers 3 tiny tmtk ?? tablets actually have the add-neu trailing power of a fall pint of milk I Tes, Ami tone's exclusive Glycine treats yon to an of milk's sooth ing powers... with feelable relief in seconds.. .that lasts for hours' 24 tablets only 49*.

C. over Terry Sanford, neither J. P. Brady nor I heard a single man express admiration (or the Re publican nominee. Not that they were particularly critical; It was just that nobody in the group seemed to leel he is outstanding in either ability or personality. Second, some reporters sug gested this factor as possibly favoring Gavin: In the South gen erally, and especially In states like Florida and North Carolina, it has become increasingly "re spectable" to vote Republican. Thus many comparative newcom ers, who in the past were "good Democrats" locally, but secretly voted Republican in national elections, now are ready to vote the straight Republican ticket ? and make no bones about It. The third thing was the explan ation, advanced by one discerning newsman, of the fact that Gavin appears to have a better chance than Republican gubernatorial nominees usually have in this state. His size-up of the situation ran something like this: "It isn't that people want Ga vin, but that they don't want Terry Sanford. And even that may not be chiefly personal. "In the second Democratic pri mary, you remember, the voters had to choose between Sanford and Dr. Beverly Lake. They couldn't take Lake's racial views, so they had to vote for Sanford. Yet to thousands of North Caro linians, Lake's conservative eco nomic program made sense, while \ Sanford's was anathema. "Lake's racial views, that is, ( forced them to vote for the eco nomic program Sanford advan ced ? a program they detest. "Result: They are resentful, and, as of now. they propose to take out their resentment by vot ing for the Republican nominee for governor." While the conference program, proper, was not centered around politics, that subject inevitably came up in the question-and-an swer period, following a panel on which two nationally outstanding newsmen appeared, Ed Lahey, chief of the Washington buiteau of the Knight newspapers, and John Popham, managing editor of the Chattanooga Times. In general, they were agreed, and they made these points, a mong others : The Presidential election is likely to be very close: "We still may not know who the winner is, the morning after the balloting". It will be decided in a few big industrial states. The way those states go is like ly to be determined by the votes of some minority ? "the labor un ions. the Irish Catholics, the Jews, or the Negroes". "And the minority that decides the final, national result will vote for the man who promises it the most. . ? W. J.
