:e , can idual rs SoS6 Broyhill Applauds President’s New Economic Policies Speaking at the Catawba Cou> nty Republican Convention Saturday Afternoon, North Carolina Congressman James T. BroyhUKR-lOth District) charged Democratic Con gressional leaders with foot- dragging, blocking, and Ignor ing the legislative program of the Nixon Administration. The Lenoir legislator ap plauded the President's new economic policies. "At this point in time, the nation is reaping the harvest of econ omic neglect which was plant ed during the ISGO’js. The President has acted with courage in instituting a thor ough, complex program to at tack the problem. I feel that he deserves the support and respect of the American peo ple in this effort," he said. Broyhill expressed approval of the support the President’s economic proposals have re ceived in Congress. "How ever," he pointed out, "this cooperation has not been the general picture of relations between Congress and the White House for the past two and a half years. Instead, sound and progressive pro grams have been shelved by Congressional leaders who are more Interested in their own political careers than in their nation’s government." Broyhill pointed to the Ad ministration's revenue shar ing plan and proposals for streamlining the structure of the Federal Government as LET Oe YQU« YERR succcssr V Y- tP M BRIDGES ADDRESSES D.E.

TV ICOMMENTARY By Jo4a Siailey IN AN ERA when our de mocracy is struggling over the issue of segregation of races, it might be interest ing to examine an element of segregation effected by television. TELEVISION in some in stances segregates people from each other. Many times . we watch it alone and are thus cast back upon ou^ selves. This is part of the vicious formula that leads to that dreaded de-human- ized feeling... loneliness. Wit's atwo-TVfamily, com plete aloneness with the flashing image is all the more possible. The warm, hearth feeling of safety and togetherness may be stolen away. TELEVISION segregates one from the source of his entertainment. It's a one way window. Entertainers or politicians can talk over the tube and one can listen and get angry, or laugh, or cry. but one can't answer, except by letter. Even with the acclaimed speed of zip codes, the viewer is cut off from the source of arousal. TELEVISION may segre gate one from reality. What with instant replay, re-runs, taped shows, live shows, simulations, etc., one could become confused as to whether a program is fact or Hction, a commercial or real Brief,Very Brief Cairo complains of Ameri can silence on Suez.

NEWS REPORT Niion & Thieu- Thiei & Force- 1963 And 1971- Roid To Peace- Washington. D.C.--Presi dent Richard Nixon may be making the same miscalcu lation Washington officials made in 1963. Then it was believed the road to peace in South Vietnam was through leadership inSaigon which could press for a mili tary victory. It was a tragic miscalculation which cost thousands of American lives and almost destroyed the stability of the dollar. Now President Thieu in Vietnam is t a 1 k i n g in the same vein. He told reporters recently, in a long inter view, that he foresaw sta bility in Vietnam only after a major confrontation, prob ably in 1973. He said that he would need at least 50,- 000 American troops to back him up for many years, plus air and other military and economic support. In other words, according to Thieu. the chance for total U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam, and thus for the release of U.S. prisoners, is slim indeed-in the near fu ture. And he is banking on a military showdown (as have so many others) to bring peace and stability to Vietnam.

WILLIE'S JEWELRY DIAMONDS REMOUNTED Thieu also said nothing would cause him to call off the October 3rd charade, the one-man election; Presi dent Nixon had sought to dissuade him on this point but when unable to do so. replied to critics with the inalogy and w a r n i n g"that it should be remembered that the U.S. first became heavily committed by involving it self in the overthrow of the late dictator Ngo Diem in 1963. But the analogy is not appropriate. What Washing ton has sought in recent days is not an overthrow of Thieu but free elections. There are grim signs that Nixon may be embarked on the same road Washington has taken so many times- that leading to a military showdown. Yet it has been repeatedly demonstrated over the years that South Vietnamese soldiers do not have the spirit and dedica tion to win such a show down. Thieu is the latest to hope he can win but if he loses South Vietnam will face the same peril it faced in 1963 and 1964. Washington's best chance to bolster the Saigon regime was to use all its military and economic aid leverage to force Thieu to hold demo cratic elections. The best chance to get Americans permanently out of Vietnam is to insure the building of a popular, democratic gov ernment in South Vietnam, supported by the vast major ity of South Vietnamese. In stead. Thieu is on the road to hoped-for victory through another military showdown. Subscribe To The Mirror Remodeling? See Jack Before You Act! Paneling! Roofing! Guttering!
