Dear Editor
This is "NeteranS' Day. "Armistce DAY.
1t is technically a holiday. but one the majority
OF Americans have pretty well managed to Ignore
doubtless because they are ashamed of observing IT,
they are embarrassed at calling attention to the
1ent which concluded hostites in the war to end
war when we have never been actually at peace
with the world since 1918 and have two more wars
in the meantime: the "police action in Korea being
the most shameful in history - and being still
unresolved!
Certainly, there is nothing here to celebrate IF
there must be an observance. it might well be with
our prayers for the souls of the thousands of Anne
can soldiers taken prisoner by the Red Chinese and
murdered - by starvation torture or a mercfu
bullet And perhaps these prayers may also stffen
our resolve to Sterny reject all uganda designed
10 soften our resistance to official US recognition of
wac ana MS regime OF massacre Of the further
pollution of the UN with their presence
The simplest solution to embarrassment how
ever would be to strike Veterans Dav from the Caen-
OAR Our traditional and hallowed Memorial De"
Will still do very nicely.
Sincerely,
go BOB TAYLOR

Love For
Living
BY Leland Sexars Hungerpiller

This is day when men make
use of photography. Day after
day man preserves and shares
what he sees through the CAM
era. Mans unrolling films re-
veal Tor US many wonderful
scenes and thoughts. PythaoraS
said: "A thought is an idea in
transit" And Coleridge wrote:
Life is but Il thought" God
made man in His Own image.
TO man God has given mind
that can think. Il mind upon
which God can photograph
scenes and thoughts. Then God
gave man Il memory that he
might see again and again the
scenes and thoughts photo
graphed.
God made man named
Martin A. Wood. upon whose
mind as he voyaged across tn.
Pacific, God stamped certain
thoughts and scenes. This man
was later stricken with blind
ness. Through his God-eiven
faculty Of remembrance he re-
lated to me the beauty OF the
white caps as he had seen
them on the blue Pacific and
shared with me some Of his
God-givcn thoughts.

WHITE CAPS
(By DIR. Martin A. WOODY

Out where the sun and the sky
both meet
And blue horizons circle round,
The friendly white caps gayly
greet
While We are on the ocean
bound.
Sometimes they Seem To deck
the sea
White petals scattered far and
wide:
Sometimes as mountains near
10 me
Snow-capped and perilous they
ride!
Sometimes the sunshine sets
aglow
Blue-green, rich colors day by
day,
The white-topped peaks of ice
and snow
Have moved or melted far
away.
Close bp the ship dashed into
foam
The white caps madly march
and race:
Far off they seem To idly
dream
In fairy forms of feathery lace.
And So the white caps decorate
The wide waters here for me:
The ocean is not deSolatc.
l See the White Flowers" of
the sea,
And God said. Let the wat
ers under the heaven be gath
cred together unto one place
and let the dry land appear:
and 1t was So. And God called
the dry land Earth: and the
gathering together of the wat
ers called he Seas: and God
saw that it was good So
God created man in his own
image, in the image Of God
created he him; male and fe-
male created he them" Gen

Editorial.

could not know the actual man rum
ming for this office and that the COM
mon voter would be better off to dele
gate his authority to representatives
At home who would act for him in
choosing President.
Third. the system is actually a hand
me-down from the ancient German
practice of having kings elected by
the Prince of the various States.
The common voter generally is an
enlightened citizen i'm America today.
IeleNision, radio and newspapers,
along with airplaneS, trains and auto
mobiles makes it possible for the man
on the street to know the candidates
tor president as we'll as the political
figures in the States, and in this cleo
ton much better. Few if any reader
of this editorial can name a single
member of the North Carolina Elec-
torial College, those delegates who
cast the North Carolina IA electoral
votes. Every first grade child can tell
YOU who was running for the Presi-
dency on both tickets.
The Electoral system also has the
evil OF the unpledged delegates who
can vote for Just any one that prom
lseS his state the most. This was the
situation last week in Alabama and
Mississippi where anti Kennedy
Democrats held their unpledged cleo
torlal votes back, not committing to
either candidate. And had neither
; a q e been able to get
majority of the other States, Nixon
would almost certainly have been
elected with this unpledged group of
delegates. Thus, a mere handful of
politicians would have decided who
the next President would be.
For some reason there has never
been any great movement to put the
National election directly in the hands
OF the people. But there should be
such movement. The evils of the
present system are evident and they
are many.
One of two SytemS should be con-
Sldered and the people should have
the opportunity to vote on a Constf.
tutlonal amendment changing the
present undemocratic way. Either the
vote should be strictly by popular
vote majority or the popular vote in
each State should earn proportional
percentage of the electoral vote. For
instance, if North Carolina voted
100000 TO rthe Democratic ticket and
100000 for the Republican ticket,
then the IA electoral votes should
be split seven for the Democrat and
seven for the Republican. Any system
other than this robs Americans of
their rights and takes away the
liberty of freedom of choice.

Hero Death of Pilot
Linked to Insurance Plot

LOS ANGELES. June 18
(AP). Residents watched in
horror as a twin-engine plane
roared overhead. trailing
flames.
The pilot opened his escape
hatch, but didn't jump.
He stayed with the t1ercely
burning craft until it smashed
into a remote canyon-and
died what was called a hero's
death.
That was three years ago.
Police yesterday tarnish e d
James Gibbs claims to glory:
Gibbs. they said. took the
plane up to crash it on purpose
for a share in $50, 900 insur-
ance money.
Sabotage Charged
And Gibbs boss. they said,
deliberately sa b o ia G ID the
plane, to make sure that it
wouldn't return safely from the
flight.
Detectives yesterday booked
Richard E. Loomis, As, on sus-
picion of murder. Police said
he collected $47 900 in insur-
ance after the Grassland re-
fused to share it with Gibbs
survivors.
The plane was a Dehavilland
Mosquito bomber, built in
Britain of plywood during
World War II.
When Gibbs took the plane
of from Lockheed Air Termi-
nal. Burbank, July l, 1857,
witnesses noticed that the
crafts landing gear didn't re-
tract properly.
Safe Landing PrecIuded
Investigators said excessive
drag from the landing gear
might have caused the engine
to overhead, setting the wooden
plane af1re. Whether it was
plotted this way isn't known.
But police say they are sure of
this:
"LoomiS sabot tagged the
planes hydraulic system, which
controls the landing mecha-
nism, in such a way as to pre-
clude a safe landing"
And detectives have in their
possession an agreement signed
by Loomis and Gibbs two days
before the crash, in which
Loomis agreed to pay Gibbs
10 per cent of insurance pro-
ceeds if the plane crashed.
Four days before the crash
Loomis insured the plane
purchased in England fol
$8,O00-for $4,000. Lloyds oi
London paid him $4,000 sc
days after the crash.

80 Pilots Call In

More than 80 pilots told Pan
American in New York by tele-
phone they were too i'll to report
for duty. Regular standby pilots
were called to help maintain
service.
A Pan American spokesman
said he believed the sick calls
might have stemmed from pilot
objection to a Federal Aviation
Agency rule that Federal in
spectors occupy a third-pilot
seat on check rides, rather
than an extra seat in the rear
Of the cockpit.
This was the cause of the
Eastern Air Lines walkout by
