(f ' ,yiT ” I The Editoe^'^==^_ p=?lf- I 1 ■ Dear Editor: Recently several Yancey County residents received what appeared to be a letter from Jerry Newton inviting them to attend a dinner in AshevSle in honor of Senator Jesse Helms. I would like to describe some of the events which led up to this rather unusual letter. During the past few months i have had contact with a number of representatives from the offices of both Senator Helms and Congressman Gudger in connection with the Chamber of Commerce stand against the Mt. Mitchell National Park. There have been numerous questionnaires and circulars sent out concerning the park study. When I was contacted by a representative of Senator Helms asking If my name could be used in a letter, I consented, thinking that the content of the letter would be some kind of follow-up on the park question. In a sense I was not really misled, but was allowed to mislead myself as to what the letter concerned. It is not important whether my name was used, misused or whatever. It is important, however, that everyone concerned understand that the Chamber of Commerce does not support or oppose the political career of any candidate. Both Senator Helms and Congressman Gudger have bills In committee which |if passed] will have an effect on the park situation. Both are to be congratulated for the efforts they have shown in our behalf. I would like to apologize to anyone who feels that the Chamber of Commerce has been misused in this situation. Jerry Newton . Exec. Director Chamber of Commerce So come in today and open a savings account at The Northwestern Bank. It's the best way to have the money you need when your reason for saving comes along. %THE NORTHWESTERN BANK&ci Hmrtm FOIC Q Hazen Ledford. Executive Vice President The Northwestern Bank.

They are questions which President Carter's advisors surely will eventually have to answer fully and forthrightly. One question involves some of the biggest banks in the United States, mostly in New York City. Is this give away really a bail-out of these big banks, who have made enormous loans to the regime of a reportedly Marxist dic tator, General Torrijos? Torrijos is one of the most oppressive dictators in the world. He has violated almost every human rights standard in the books. He has managed to stay in power in Panama solely on the basis of his promise to blackmail the United States into, giving away our Panama Canal. BANKS —If Congress refuses to give-away our Canal, the dictatorship in Panama may fall —and some big U. S. banks may be left holding the bag on some bad loans that perhaps shouldn't have been made in the first place. It is to be remembered that President Carter appointed a man named Sol Linowitz to be his “personal representative" in the Panama Canal negotiations. This appointment is really of ambassador's rank—and should have been sent to the U. S. Senate for consideration and confirmation. Unfortunately, Mr. Carter used a sort of back-door approach to by-pass the Senate. Thus, Mr. Linowitz has never been required to face questions from Senators. Now, here's the interesting thing: Mr. Linowitz was, at the time of his appointment and during the early stages of his work on the negotiations, an official of one of the New York City banks which has made enormous loans to the Panama regime! Shortly after I raised questions of the propriety of this arrangement on the Senate floor last February, he resigned from the bank. It would have been better if he had resigned as negotiator. NEGOTIATOR—Many Americans sense that there is a blackmail game going on in connection with the proposed Canal give away. They repeatedly hear that if we don't give away our Canal, there will be violence in Latin America. The truth of the matter is that I have personally visited and talked with the heads of state in South American countries representing three-fourths of the geography, population and gross national product of South America. Without exception, I have been told: "Please keep your Canal. Don't let it fall into Torrijos' hands. If the negotiations are ever completed, we may have to support the troaty publicly, but wo hope we are never forced into that position." No one can say that there will not be some violence, regardless of what happens in this matter. There was violence about ten years ago—by students at the university in Panama. It is widely reported that Fidel Castro sent communist revolu tionaries into Panama to promote that violence. He may do so again. Interestingly enough, the head of the university at the time was a man who is well known for his communist leanings. And where is that man today? He is the chief negotiator for the government of Panama in working out the details of the treaty which Mr. Carter's advisors have persuaded the President to endorse I See the pattern? The President has been misled. I do hope that the American people will not be similarly misled.
