N. C. COAST FEATURES
AUTUMN FISHING

Autumn brings the channel
bass back to the surf of North
Cardinals 330-mile fishing coast
and the season for the big ones
confines around Gamefish juno
tion-the waters north and south
of Cape Hatteras where the Gulf
Stream swings to within IL miles
of the North Carolina coast and
marks the dividing line between
northern and southern game fish.
In IS sports fishing centers
along the coast, more than 200
charter boats are ready for their
biggest autumn season--follow-
ing a summer of fishing that
produced a blitz of billfish and
record catches of smaller game
fish along the Carolina coast.
Ocean pier fishing is booming,
too, and adding zest to the nor
NAL catches of blues, spots floun-
der, pompano, are the occasional
big ones that wander inshore-
including a 48-pound channel
bass landed in August at Mays
Head pier. Six new piers were
put in operation in 1854, to run
the total of ocean fishing piers
along the North Carolina coast
to Is. Two of them are over 1000
feet long.
Generally speaking. Septem-
Der and October fishing should
be excellent, with good fishing
going over into November.

Traffic and Golden Rule

All decent civilized behavior Is
founded on the Golden Rule. II we
could only get that rule applied in
generous doses on our streets and high
ways. we would be well on our way to
cutting down the traffic accident toll
which President Eisenhower has called
mot merely local or community prob
lem but a problem for all Of US"
Few would dispute that, like world
conditions in general, our trafhc con-
ditions are in q bad state of affairs.
Yet we have an obvious formula for
improving both in the Golden Rule.
"Do unto others as you would have
others do unto you" is an opportunity
offered every motorist many times each
day. Unhappily, we all too often put
aside all restraint and sense OF fair
play when we get into our automobiles.
Let heavy pedestrian traffic block our
car for a moment and we have trouble
suppressing the feeling that pedestrians
have no right crossing the street. When
we ourselves are walking, we are Sorely
tempted to heap abuse on those crazy
drivers" Yet many pedestrians are
only drivers who have parked their
who happen to be riding.
It is a little difficult to understand
the rather widespread conception Of
the Golden Rule. Some of us dole it
out, little here and a little there as
we see flt. This is far from living in
terms of the complete approach that is
really the Golden Rule.
Either it applies to every area of liv-
ing or it doesn't apply at all. Either it
applies to the way we drive our cars or,
let's face it. we are not living by the
Golden Rule.
The Golden Rule in traffic today is
not a mere admonition to be perfect.
It is an inflexible law to which we must
adhere If we are to survive.

South Dukotu Voting Trend

On June 3, Doris Fleeson wrote in
her column, ". South Dakota Demo-
Gratis have just doubled their 1852 pri-
mary vote"
I have awaited the official canvas OF
the vote before writing to call this
error to your attention. I now have
the total vote cast in the 1854 primaries,
and also the 1852 vote. These figures
are as follows: Total vote cast in DEM
ocratic primary - 1852 - 1853; total
vote cast in Democrat primary - 1854
= 30,657.
However, there is also another sig
nificant figure in the South Dakota
elections. That is the percentage OF
votes cast in the primaries for each OF
the two major political parties. A
break down shows:
Total "a Primary Republican vote ITO
Total "a Primary Democratic vote 1870
Total SO Primary Republican vote 1870
Total SO Primary Democratic vote 2l9o
Total so Primary Republican vote 76%
Total so Primary Democratic vote 249o

The Result Was Unusual, Too

Speaking last January of his forth
coming gubernatorial campaign, DR.. H. c.
(Curley) Byrd promised that it would be the
most unusual campaign you ever saw"
"I've got more to offer this job," DR..
Byrd continued, than the job has to offer
me. If the people of Maryland want an ef1-
cient, honest administration, they will elect
me. I don't believe it is necessary to run
Dick and Harry"
Well maybe not. But at this stage of
the campaign-with DR.. Byrd having Just
won the Democratic nomination by the skin
of his teeth-it is not too difficult to believe
that he has changed his mind regarding
what may be necessary. If George P. Ma
honey has not by this time convinced DR..
Byrd that importuning of Tom, Dick and
Harry Is advisable, Governor McKeldin will.
DR.. Byrd must know that he has not only
been in fight for the nomination, but faces
an even tougher one before the final votes
are counted in November.
In the meantime, Mr.. Mahoney has
demonstrated once more that while he may
not be able to win public Office himself in
Maryland, he can make it very difficult for
any other Democrat to win. Without party
organization support, he has again shown
himself to be a vote-getter and party
splitter. Whether this is due to his own pop
ularity or to the lack of popularity of the
Democratic leadership in Maryland may not
be yet established. What is established be-
yond any doubt is that DR.. Byrd is going to
have to do lot of importuning between
now and next November if he wants to be
the next Governor of Maryland. Governor
McKeldin is no mean importuner himself.

On Withholding Hiss Pension

1t is one of the most important prin-
ciples Of justice-and therefore it is
also one of the indispensable founda-
tions Of democracy-that the size Of
the punishment for a crime shall be
decided without consideration of per-
son.
This principle is violated if one group
of persons is singled out and if for
them an additional punishment is de-
creed in addition to the punishment
that other people would receive for the
same crime. But just this is being
proposed right now. The group to be
singled out are those who have earned
Federal pensions. 1t is planned that
in case of certain convictions they shall
be deprived of their pensions. in addi-
ton to their other punishment.
For the sake of justice, this pro-
posal must be defeated. Eric w. Beth.

'Americon Tragedy

The final judgment against DR.. J. Rob-
ert Oppenheimer iS in sense, The Amerl-
can Tragedy Of 1854. He is, one might say,
a victim of the conspiratorial age in which
we live Given what we like to think OF as
normal times, there would be no reason,
despite his indiScretionS, to bar DR.. Open
heimer from Government service or official
secrets But these times are far from nor
NAL. The men whose unenviable duty it
was to sit in judgment had to balance the
interests of an individual against the in
terests of the security of the United States.
And when this balance was struck, the
result was adverse to DR.. Oppenheimer.
It cannot be said that the record fails
to support this Judgment. Commissioner
Smyth, the diSSenter in the 4-to-1 ruling
by the Atomic Energy Commission, argued
eloquently in DR.. Oppenheimer's behalf.
When the fullest weight is given to his
views and his reasoning, however, a doubt
persists. The items cited by the majority
in support of the conclusion that DR.. OPP
penheimer is a security risk are substantial.
They do not yield to rhetoric or sentiment.
And this being so, it becomes essential
harsh though the result may be-to give
first priority to considerations of the ma
tional security.
It is lamentable that this ugly period
has to be put to the story of DR.. Open
heimer's services to his country For if
the judgment is faulty, if an injustice has
been done, it is the sort of injustice which
leaves scars that time cannot eradicate.
Furthermore, the ruling is one which may
leave residue of bitterness in the scientific
fraternity, and it would not have been sur
prising if DR.. Oppenheimer had acquiesced
in such a result. He has risen above this
very human temptation, however. In a
statement he embraced DR.. Smyth's dis
sent, but added:
Without commenting on the security
system which has brought all this about
do have a further word to say. Our country
is fortunate in its scientists in their high
Skill and their devotion. I know that they
will work faithfully to preserve and strengthen
this country hope that the fruit of their
work will be used with humanity, with wis
dom and with courage. I know that their
counsel when sought will be given honestly
and freely. I hope that it will be heard.
These are the words of mature man.
DR.. Oppenheimer'S friends will find COM
fort and certain vindication in them.

Good BiII-Good Omen

The only real source of controversy in
this years District appropriation bill was
the size Of the Federal payment. Once that
was settled by a record vote in the House,
setting it at the $40 million authorized in
the public works program legislation, there
was little left to argue about. That accounts
for the quick Senate approval, the quick
conference agreement between House and
Senate, and the final quick passage of the
bill by both houses yesterday.
This years appropriation bill sets new
record in size for the pistrict-nearly $17O
million. The significance of the bill is not
its size, however. The significance OF the
bill is that it appropriates the money, under
the terms agreed upon by Congress- to initi-
ate decade Of accelerated public works
construction. The program is costly. But
the need is beyond dispute and the burdens
are unavoidable.
This years bill is merely the first of ten
or more appropriation bills that will be re-
quired to finish the program. Before it is
finished, details will have been changed by
developments as yet unanticipated. But the
program will eventually be completed-in
time to start another one-provided that
the exclusively controlling United States
Government meets its own obligations in
respect to the American Capital
That these obligations have been met
in the first of series of appropriation bills
Is a good omen, hopeful promise for the
future of this great city.
