'Foundations' of Tyranny For no particular reason that comes immediately to mind, we set up a file a few years ago in to which, we have been placing -various bits and pieces of infor mation relating to the prolifera tion of tax-free or tax-supported foundations in this country. From time to time we examine the file, and a disturbing pattern seems always to emerge: An en ormous amount of tax-free mon ey is spent each year in promot ing political liberals and left wing causes in general. Most of the foundations oper ate under at least a pretext of education in one fashion or an other. But when the; actual op erations are examined closely, it is scarcely surprising to di& cover that what is really afoot often amounts to nothing more than an espousal ,pf some ex treme leftist philosophy or per sonality. jcui caouijjic, auuic wcc&a uain. a professor at the University of California at Berkley went to Russia on a visit made possible by a $13,000 grant from tfce Na tional Science Foundation, which happens to be entirely supported by federal funds. Tbe profess or’s name! is Stephen Smale, and •we' shall discuss his general background in a moment. Promptly upon his arrival in Moscow, Professor Smale called' a news conference attended al most entirely by reporters for communist newspapers. At this conference he denounced the United States for what he call ed our “brutal and horrible” participation in Vietnam. The professor’s comments were cir culated around the world, of course, by the communist press. The National Science Founda tion is hardly in a position to claim that it was unaware of Professor Smale’s pro-commun ist activities when it provided the $13,000 for his trip to the Soviet Union. He was deeply in volved in the student riots at Berkeley; indeed, he headed up the so-called “Fair Play for Cu ba Committee” on the campus, an organization which promoted the student demonstrations against our government last year. In the same file are various items concerning activities and programs of the Ford Founda tion and the Carnegie Founda tion. These are the two founda tions, as you may recall, which jointly are providing a total of $280,000 to former Governor Terry Sanford for the purpose of bis making a “study” of state governments in America. At the outset of his study, Mr. Sanford announced that he did not “aim” to diminish the powers of the federal government. In fact, he EDWARDS Funeral Home said that in his opinion “a strong central government is a necessi ty.” , Even those who do not agree with Mr. Sanford’s philosophy in this connection are bound to acknowledge his candor, particu larly in the light of the fact, fdr example, that the present U: S. STS01*?? !f ^ Sanford’s, ft wasMr. Sanford who, ah Governor in 1964, brought Mr. Howe 'ltd North Carolina for a brief but high salaried tenure which served as the springboard for Mr. Howe to. go to Washington to direct the federal controls over the schools of America. Our files disclose an intrigu ing expenditure of the funds which Mr. Sanford received from the For4 and Carnegie Founda tions. A year ago, Mr. Sahford played host to about 20 . of his newspaper friends at a plush vacation- resort near Boone. All but one or two of the newsmen are of unmistakable “liberal” persuasion.' There were two from The News end Observe*, plus reporters or editors from Greensboro, Charlotte, Fayette ville, Winston-Salem, Washing ton, New York, and other, places — men who are carefully tuaed to Mr. Sanford’s political philo sophy. ft was, in short, a friend ly gathering. One can imagine the kind of “study” that went on. “Bring your golf clubs,” Mr. Sanford said in his invitation. The Ford Foundation and the Carnegie Foundation picked up all of the expenses and, in addi tion, paid each of the newsmen $100 a day in what Mr. Sanford called “a modest honorarium”. No doubt each of them appre ciated a free vacation at the lux urious Hound Ears Lodge in the North Carolina mountains, espe cially since they were paid $100 a day each to enjoy Mr. San ford’s hospitality, ft would be the height of ingratitude for FT. DK, N. J. Roger W. McDaniel Jr., son of Mrs. /Mag gie C. Harrington, 1209 East over Ave., Kinston, received an early promotion to Army pay grade private E-2 on completion of basic training at Ft. Dix, N. J., Sept. 9, He was awarded the promo tion two months, earlier than is customary because of his ac curacy in firingthe M-14 rifle, high score on the physical com any of them hereafter to write a disparaging word about Mr. Sanford or any of his endeavors. And since Mr. Sanford is said to be planning to oppose Sena tor Sam Ervin in 1968, it can be anticipated that he now has re assurances of, shall we say, the foundations of a friendly press. It is doubtful that- Senator Ervin will have the blessings of two such well-heeled founda tions. He will have to rely upon the people who do pay taxes while the foundations do not. Even so, the Senator may still have the best end of the bar gain. Selling Agents vif..
