The people now are governed not so much by enacted statutes as by directives and regulations tftowimg in .ever-widening tor rents from federal administra tive agencies operating under broard grants of authority con Other Editors Say HERTFORD COUNTY .HESALD &o As She Sdys, Not As She Does “Don't do as I do, do as I say,” it would appear, is the philoso phy of a Hertford County home school coordinator whose job is counseling low-income families. Her testimony last Thursday rocked legal circles when she took the witness box in Super ior Court in Winton. Involved was her fight to obtain support for the child her civil suit charged belonged to a man other than her husband. During the testimony she ad mitted to sexual relations with at least five other men besides both the man to whom she was married and the man whom she charged fathered her child. She identified herself as an employee of the* Hertford County ESEC, which is supported by federal funds, describing her job as counseling low-income families. Several attorneys in the court room were heard commenting on her testimony in right startled fashion after the presiding judge denied support for the child. The denial was predicated on the fact that at the time she gave birth to the disputed* child) she was dill married, with Hie husband: presumed to be the fa ther. N The testimony not only rate, ed startled eyebrows on the. part of those in legal circles but also apnong some of the “low income” who receive counseling, to whom the Seventh Command ment still stands as a moral pre cept that should not be. flouted. Hearing the testimony, one won ders just how those responsible can justify sending this type of a home as a ferred on them by Congress. Government by decree has reached a point at which a com plete turnover of elected offic ials, including Congress and the White House, doesn’t necessar ily entail a significant change in the federal government’s di rection. To borrow the words of Rep. James Utt of California, “you are governed more and more by people for whom you have nev er voted, for whom, you never will vote, whom you have never seen and whom you cannot re call by your vote.” Government by administra tive decree is nothing new, of course. It began to evolve al most as soon as Congress start ed enacting laws that called for federal supervision and enforce ment. Its explosive growth be gan with the massive federal interventions of the New Deal era. But it has taken a partic ularly sinister turn lately with the increasing use of federal in come tax money to bribe or bull doze the states and localities in to acceptance of the sociological “reforms” favored by the cen tral bureaucrats.

DOLLAR ►a t\* Kinston Thursday, Friday, Saturday OUTSTANDING VALUES KINSTON'S LEADING CREDIT JEWELERS if our lords and masters are looking for a way out of the me troubles they have created I would suggest they lend an ear to a black neurosurgeon named Thomas W. Matthew. Dr. , Matthew seems to have something. :'V .‘"r' Some time ago, there came in to being an outfit known as NEGRO. Dr. Matthew is its pres ident. Hear him, as reported by the V. S. Hews and World Report Dr: Matthew was asked the pur P**. °L¥» 'Sti&EBm He re form their own society, estab lish their own businesses, five their own lives. Then, and only then, will they be hi a legiti mate position to knock on the door marked integration. 'So says Dr. Matthew. “We cannot have real inte gration until we have integra tion of equals.” I buy that. ; It will never happen, of course, — integration of equals — be cause the Negro, an alien to White culture, can never com pete on equal terms with those who are native to the culture. No' matter. Negroes can, with self respect and great dignity, compete among themselves. From such competition would evolve a subfculture within our land which we might all be proud. I read with great interest the interview U. S. News (Ji bud with this man. Dr. M is not only smart, he ii And this effort of his is thing more than a toddi ready NEGRO has assets 000,000 invested in, 15 The only thing in the inter view I would fault —- and that is a minor thing— is tile reas on Dr. Matthew »ves tut the Negros present plight. ; Afet. “As « result of slavery and venerations of welfare denend ency/’hesaid, “too groes do not haw the proper fwn —r wpeat* earn — tnenr way to equal economic stetus. • ■ < Moreover, I believe his concept is the wave of Die nee future. Why? Because there is no oth er way compatible with a free society. The only tiling that has ever worked, that can work, Is voluntarism; government by the consent of the governed. And though 1 have no way of knowing, I am confident this wise man is more in tune, with the American Negro {ban, say Roy Wilkins of NAACP.
