GOOD WISHES - During

dency of the union.
.-"You have my best wishes
for success" Mr.. Murray told
Mr.. Hallbeck. You have al
ways been most fair and honest
In your dealings with this COM
uaittee."
Since the conservative Mr..
Murray and union official Hall
beck frequently differ on en-
pioye legislative goals, includ-
ing the present pay raise drive,
the chairman's gracious re-
marks were particularly well
received.
PAY PATTERN-Incidental-
ly,s the entire pattern Of the

of-friendliness toward the Gov

A conservative estimate is
that at least 81 of the Is House
committee members will vote
In favor of a modest classified
and postal employe pay raise.
The hearings will be resumed
Tuesday with additional en-
ploye leaders scheduled to
testify.
QUERIES-This desk con-
tinues to receive many letters

The answer is that favorable
Senate action is expected once
the civil rights legislation is
disposed Of. There have been
no regular committee meetings
since the civil rights action
began.
Specifically. the Senate Gov

What happened?
On dozen fronts, criticism mountS-from
Washington committees and commissions, from
organized groups from educators and from ad-

And even from within.

Since its creation on De-

III North and South Carolina.
OF the approximately Sl56,-

these purposes over the past 35
years, Sl07 100000 was devot-
ed to education. 81 million to
hospitals and orphanages. and
more than s5,0OO.OOO to church
purposes.
Its support has helped
make the hospitals of North
and South Carolina among the
finest in the country. Its Rural
Church Program has helped
give the rural areas more than
1000 fine churches and able
pastors. And its main educa-
tlonal beneficiaries-Duke I'm
irersity. Davidson College.
johnson c. Smith University
and Furman UniverSity-have
grown in stature and prestige.
With my election as Chair
man, active management of
The Duke Endowment passes
into new hands. My associates
and are keenly aware of our
great responsibilities. not the
least of which is to ensure Mr..
Dukes original goal of attain
ing and maintaining a place of
real leadership in the educa-
tional world for Duke Uni
EerSity. Duke has made great
strides toward this goal and.
In its new administration
headed by President J. Derpl
Hart, my associates and l feel
confident that Duke has the
organization and guidance it
needs for its next upward
move.
We who are charged with
management of the affairs of
The Duke Endowment, intend
to produce the maximum in
come consistent with prodent
investment policies and to uti-
lie that income to continue
and expand the contributions
the Endowment has made TO
higher education, health and
religion. 1t is our hope that. in |
years to come. the beneficiar-
les OF this Fund will become
so pre-eminent in their own
fields that they will stand as
models for similar institutions
