YAM AUCTION MARKET NOW
AVERAGING ABOUT Sl.40

With not many farmers really
into the wholesale digging of
potatoes so far, the Tabor City
Marketing company Tuesday re-
ported that about 5000 bushels
have been auctioned off thus far
and the average to date is about
S1.40 per bushel.
Marketing officials, however,
pointed out that there was a up
ward trend in the price on Tues
day with the morning sale aver
aging $1.53 per bushel. This was
an increase of about Is cents
on the bushel over the Monday
average and the average Mon
day was advanced over the aver
age last week.
1t was believed here that many
farmers have not started digging
potatoes yet in the hope that
the currently flooded market due
to heavy selling in other states
would let up in a few days and
that the price would get better.
However, State marketing Off
Gals have announced that there
will be a surplus this year
and have suggested that farmers
store some Of their crop.

The following editorial appear
ed in the Sunday edition of the
Raleigh, N. c., News and ObserV-
err. It's content is in essence the
exact opinion of The Tribune:
SOMEONE WAS GUILTY
Members of the Ku Klux Klan
no doubt were heartened by the
action of the grand jury in Horny
County, South Carolina, in free
ing five men charged with con-
spiracy to commit mob violence.
According to the warped think
ing of men who hide coWardice
under hoods, the Klan got a lot
of free publicity and at the same
time renewed it's license to do
business in the South.
Perhaps the grand jury reach
ed the only possible conclusion in
freeing the five men. The fact re-
mains, however, that someone
was guilty of that conspiracy on
the night of August 26 when
policeman wearing a Khan robe
was killed during a demonstra-
ton near Myrtle Beach. A logical
development now should be an
intensified investigation to bring
the guilty instigators to justice.
This case has, unfortunately,
too many antecedents in the
South, although commendable
progress has been made in end
ing the ghoulish parades OF
grown men with small minds.
The case serves to warn South
Carolina and the rest of the
South that renewed campaigns
to stamp out all vestiges of the
Khan should be launched as soon
as Khan activity, no matter how
small, is observed.
The Ku KluX Khan is a dishon-
cradle relic of the South's past.
There is no place for it in the
South's present or future.

Matthews Confident
Mo- Will Be Freed
BY fhe Associated Press

NORFOLK, Va, Jan. 90
Given a vote of confidence by
Secretary of the Navy Matthews,
naval personnel continued prep
arations today for their next at
tempt to pull the battleship Mis-
souri, off her Chesapeake Bay
mudbank.
Mr.. Matthews got an aerial view
of salvage operations yesterday on
his way back to Washington after
speaking to the graduating class
of the Armed Forces Staff College
here. He expressed confidence
that the Navy would ref1oat its
only active service battlewagon.
Divers worked through the
night on the floor of Chesapeake
Bay, passing lines beneath the
Missouri's stern preliminary to
placing six submarine salvage
pontoons, each having 480 tons
of lifting power.
Tomorrow the salvage team
will begin unloading the big Mos
ammunition and rigging the
heavy Bleaching gear. Each of the
nine beaching gear installations
will be tested as it is placed in
position.
All nine installations are eX-
pected to be in place during the
week end, and several tests will
be conducted between that time
and February 2, when the next
attempt will be made to free the
warship, grounded near Old Point

Moderator, America's To,cn Meeting of the Air

MY PROFESSOR of geology at the University of
lVl North Carolina used to begin his course with
this admonition: The first lesson l want you to
learn is that things largely what they are because
they are where they are And that goes for people
and ideas as we'll as rocks!'
During my post-broadcast talks when Americas
Town Meeting of the Air is tour, often tell this
anecdote and hold up ball which, from the audi
ence's point of view, is black.
What color is this ball, please?" ask.
Invariably someone shouts Black
Right" admit From your point of view the
ball is black Yet from the point of view of those of
us here on the PLATFORM it is white If you insist that
what you is right and we insist that what we see
is right, we can get nowhere.
you might overcome us with the power of
ballots or bullets, bu-" - and at this moment l
turn the ball around - "as we see now, the ball
is both black and white"
What does this mean in terms of human relations?

SOME NERVE! A small boy announced to
his teacher this week that next Tuesday
would be his birthday. Isn't that nice?" she
beamed ITS my birthday, too" Apparently

The tragedy is that cannot turn our social.
economic and political problems around for each
other as readily as turn black and white ball.
You are bound by your heredity, your environ
ment and your habits of thinking and am bound
by the same limitations. The only way for us to
settle differences and arrive at sensible con-
cusions is through honest discussion with integrity
of purpose and mutual respect. This is the nearest
approach to the scientific process that is available
to us in the field of human relations
ALL this has special meaning for US, right now in
these prediction days. If we expect to find the
right answers to the grave problems we face today
we must give our minds chance by exposing them
to all valid points of view. In short, we must
dedicate hearts, minds and spirits to the search
for truth. not only citizens of nation but as
citizens of the world and members of the human race
Then, and only then, reach the kind of de-
cisions which will make us truly free.
