RedeveIopment Hoax

The "big hoax" is about to
be perpetrated on Arlington
County by the "eager beav-
ers" who wish to eliminate
the election of officials in
favor of an appointed" man.
ager, under the so-called
Metro Plan" 1t all sounds
fine-"let's redevelop Ross
lyn." Let's have urban renewal
for progress. What is urban
renewal? The United States
Government advances two
thirds of the money and the
local authority the other
third. For "redevelopment"?
OF course not. This is the
means by which real estate
manipulators are encouraged
to support this movement.
The money advanced by the
Government is only for clear
ing the land, first by pur-
chase and then by clearing
it. For redevelopment? OF
course not. To be sold, ad-
mittedly, by the Federal
Housing Administration au-
thority at a loSs-which in
the final analysis is a loss
to the homeowner-to real
estate spectators. Then the
Government loans money un-
der still another law to these
spectators to erect the hous-
ing. Without strings at
tached? You guess! What
does this mean? That the
Government, first by right of
eminent domain and later by
certain specifications as to
what can be built, will "di-
rect" the development of
areas involved.
Now Rosslyn is being held
out as a sop, because of it's
tagging and possibly deca-
dent condition. But what of
redevelopment? How can
anyone plan this area when
the approaches to the pro-
posed bridges have not been
determined? What will these
approaches do to this area?
What will happen to the more
modern structures in a
"blighted" area? Will they be
seized" by right of eminent
domain and resold to other
owners at a fraction of their
real value? And during all
this process the taxpayer is
being "held up" while sub
sidizing land spectators. not
to speak of the disruption of
ng-established associations
in communities which we're
developed by persons who be-
lieved that they would be
secure" for their declining
years.

Nothinq More to Be Said

".. When 1De remind the commit
tee that ne are a diStrdnchiSed people,
deprived of all those political rights
and privileges so dear to an American
citizen, and the possession of Which is
so ,UeH calculated to elevate and dig
nifty the human character; that the
exclusive jurisdiction Which Con-
greSS possesses oDeT us, hoDeuer t0iSely
and moderately exercised, is deS-
potiSm, t0e are almost inclined to say
nothing more, as lUe cannot doubt but
that our feelings, under such circum-
stances, tUiH meet NTH the ready sum
pdthy Of every member of Congress"
The passage quoted above is from
& memorial sent to the House District
Committee by citizens of what is now
Alexandria, Virginia, early in l840. Alex
andria, at that time, was part of the
District of Columbia, deprived of vot-
ing rights when this area was ceded
20 the United States as the seat of
government. The Virginia portion of the
District was retroceded to Virginia in
.846, largely as the result of continuing
Srotest over the disfranchisement of its
people.
We quote the passage now in ref
srence to the welcome announcement
today by Chairman Celler of the House
Judiciary Committee that he will con-
duct hearings next week on his own
resolution comforting by amendment of
the Constitution voting rights for the
people of this city for President, Vice
President and for representation in Con-
gress. Lengthy hearings are not neceS-
sary. The deprivation of these rights
IS so flagrant a contradiction of every
principle of self-government that there
is no need for amplif1cation. Everything
hat can be said has been said, and the
evil which would be remedied is self
evident.
We hope that Mr.. Celler's decision
20 hold hearings will be followed by
favorable report of his resolution and
It's approval by the House. If that is
done, we are confident that the Senate,
which has already approved compar-
able resolution, will reach agreement
with the House on acceptable phrase
ology and submit it to the people of
this country for their ratification.

to Congress Q message say
ing that he will approve any
bill the Congress will pass
If it meets certain basic
standards he lays down.
"It is time" Mr.. Nixon
said, "for the Democratic
leadership in Congress to
fish or cut bait. If they fail
TO act, or act irresponsibly
during this session of Con-
gresS, they will have made
it clear they prefer q farm
issue to a farm solution. And
it is high time they quit
treating the farmer as an
issue and recognize him as q
person who is not getting his
fair share Of Americas pros
perity." Mr.. Nixon then
made it clear he would pre-
sent a farm program of his
own to the voters-if Con-
gress fails to act, and to act
responsibly, and that he
would expect his Democratic
opponent to come forward
with a plan, too, so that the
electorate could decide be.
tween the two.
Sees Economy Big Issue
Another issue - the eco
nomie development Of the
United States-the Vice
President has insisted will
be a major one in the coming
campaign. And closely wrap
ped in with this issue, he
contends. will be the ability
Of this country to meet Com
munist economic competi-
ton. Democrats, in Mr.. Nix
on's view have engaged in
a lot Of loose talk-similar
to Russian Soviet talk-to
the effect that American
economy Is fat, complacent,
stagnant and on the down.
grade. This despite the fact
that our economy produces
more jobs for more people
at higher wages than any
other country in history. He
pointed out that this country
is ahead of the Soviet Union
in every major product, and
that our total production is
more than double theirs;
that we have achieved in a
great measure the economic
objective of abundance under
our system that the Com
muniSt theory merely prom
iSes.
To emphasize the differ
ence with the Democrats
who are seeking their party's
nomination to oppose him,
Mr.. Nixon promised he would
not fall for "phony schemes
for government promotion
of economic growth" The
American people. when they
go to the polls next Novem-
Der, he insisted, will have
an opportunity to choose be-
tween two basically different
economic philosophers" He
meant, of course. the Repub-
lican and the Democratic.
The pressure is on for
Republicans to close ranks
and back Mr.. Nixon for
President. 1t is also on to
convince many independents
and Democrats the country
will fare better with Mr.. Nix
on in the White House than
with any of the Democratic
aspirants for the presidency.
In this connection, it is well
to consider the most recent
comments by former Gov.
Dewey of New York, who
has declared himself a
stsunch supporter of Mr..
Nixon for President-and
Gov. Rockefeller for Vice
President. Such a COP.
national ticket, Mr.. Dewey
said, would be tremendous.

THE POLITICAL MILL,
Nixon's Challenge to Democrats
By GOULD LINCOLN

Democrats who have been
suggesting Vice President
Nixon will wage a pussyfoot-
ing campaign for the presi-
dency, trying to play both
sides of the street, should
know Mr.. Nixon better. They
have had opportunity to see
him in action time and again.
Just because he is sticking to
his job in Washington-the
job Of helping to get the best
possible legislation out of the
Democratic Congress - and
Republicans in Congress
and because he has not flung
himself into campaigns in the
presidential primary States,
is no reason for these Demo-
Gratis to believe they will not
have a real fight on their
hands if Mr.. Nixon becomes
the Republican presidential
candidate, as now appears
virtually certain.
In one of his rare trips
out of Washington these days
the Vice President told a
Lincoln Nebraska Founders
Day celebration last night ex-
actly what he proposed to do
should he be the COP. nom-
inee. He also gave notice to
the Democratstwhat they may
expect. He has rejected COM
pletely the advice of public
relations experts who believe
that television has made per-
son-to-person campaigning
relatively obsolete and inef-
fective. By plane, by train and
by bus. the Vice President
will carry his campaign into
every State, city and town
he finds time to visit. Judg-
ing by his past campaign
ing performances, he will hit
many of them. Further he
has again made it clear his
will be no stand-pat attitude
in the coming campaign. He
proposes to wage a campaign
looking to the future of the
American people. Declaring
that the Republican Party
will be proud of the record
of the Eisenhower adminis-
tration, Mr.. Nixon continued: /:
"A record is something to
build on, not to stand on.
Stand pat, hold the line
thinking is not enough to
meet the great challenges
confronting the American
people at home and abroad. ="
Calls Farm Policy Stymied
This is no attempt to draw
away or disasSociate himself
from the Eisenhower admin
istration's record over more
than seven years, in which
Mr.. Nixon has played an
unusually important role for
a Vice President. Nor is il
so interpreted by President
Eisenhower. For the Presi-
dent, despite his Democratic
critics, is no stand-patter
nor does he expect Mr.. Nixon
to be one., Speaking as he
did to an audience in one
of the great Midwest farm
States, the Vice President
frankly said he was not
satisfied with the existing
farm programs. The farm
problem, he added, has beer
stymied in recent years
because a Democratic-con-
trolled Congress has been
unwilling to go along with
a Republican President who
was seeking a solution in the
interest Of the farmers. Anc
here Mr.. Nixon laid down 8
real challenge to the pres.
ent Democratic Congress
just as the President ha.
done. He pointed out thai
the President has taken ar
unprecedented action, sending

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

Templeton Jones, while
trying to learn Russian, has
an almost irresistible urge
to raise his right hand to
head height and elevate the
elbow.
He begins this motion with
the first pronunciation, and
completes 1t near the end of
the phrase.
For instance, if he wants
to ask for coffee with cream
and sugar, he says:
"KOH-feh, ee SLEEF-kee
ee SAH-khar."
He gets this from the
pocketSize Berlitz Russian
Phrase Book" handy little
volume published by Grossett
and Dunlap,
Jones has already dis
covered that If a Russian
wants to say anything, he
takes about six or seven syl-
tables to do what an English
man or American would do
in one, or two syllables at
the most.
We asked our old friend
what he was doing trying to
learn Russian, anyway.
He said that he was not
exactly trying to learn it, in
any real sense. but merely
getting ready for the Occu-
patton. as he termed it.
Just what he meant by
this we could not be sure,
but he believes that the
RuSkies are not ever going
to attack our country, but
just want to gobble it up
whole and unharmed.
When they do, according
to Jones. he wants to be able
to ask for something to eat.
This rather dismal pros
pect does not keep him from
enjoying his rather sub
amateur investigations into
an odd-sounding and mys-
terious looking language.
From what he has seen of
Russians, he believes they
laugh better than they talk.
But KOH-feh is plain
enough.
Learning a foreign Ian
guage, as has been said many
times before, Is best done
when one is about 4 years
old.
We know a pair of Navy
kids who went to Italy with
their parents and soon were
able to speak Italian so well
that they forgot their own
language!

Zig Cunnery Expects To Locate I'm Tabor Sale Sfec

The biggest boost to the Tabor City economy in
several decades is in the planning stage and if local
ciuZenry respond to the movement, a huge cannery
specializing i'll four basic commodities, will be reality
here this spring.
~ Tally Eddings, eXecutivesecretary of the Tabor
Nv Merchants Association, officially announced to
d. that Troy II. Cribb l. Sons, Inc, and the Garre
oales company propose to establish modern and
streamlned cannery here that would begin operation
THIS spring. The Crbb firm has headquarters in Spar
anbrug, s. C., and Garrell Sales Company is Tabor
City organization headed by B. Alton Garrel.
IF local citizens, farmers and businessmen,
will buy $4,000 worth of recalable preferred
&2ery is certainty" Eddings said.
Eddings pointed out that Cribb and Garrell will
provide the buildings and all of the operating capital
for the cannery and that this is expected to
INTO more than half million dollars in financing
Ihey are seeking to raise funds through the North
Carolina Business Development Corporation and the
sale of preferred stock here in the amount of ap-
proNmatey $l65,O00 with which to purchase the very
best of modern machinery for the canning operation
~ but about $4,000 of this amount is expected to
bs loaned to the corporation by the N c. Development
Corporation.
The Town Board, working with engineering firms,
have reached agreement with the State Health
Dept, on the sewage disposal problem that will be
created with the establishment of the new cannery.
The Mayor and Town Council have been aware of
the movement to establish the cannery here but until
this week the Merchants Association and officials
had kept the project details confined to few people.
9 Eddings told group of merchants in a meeting
here Monday morning that work on the project has
Tabor City tribune., 1960-01-06

been gong on for the past 1S months.
If the cannery is established, Eddinss said
that it would employ between 200 and 800 person.
during many months of the year and that this
payroll would be the most important sin gle factor
in the industrial economy of the community. He
also pointed out that in addition to the big pay
roll, that the cannery would put life into the
sinking agricultural economy of the area.
The cannery would process sweet potatoes
peaches, string beans and Irish potatoes Tabor City
huge producer of sweet potatoes Irish
and string BEANS has practically lost these crops in
recent years commercial product. Sweet potatoes
is the only still sold in quantity and that volume
is so low that it is hardly factor in the economy
With the new cannery, Eddings expressed the be.
lief that the would again be growing these three
commodities in large volume and that farmers would
be given the opportunity of contract farming for the
cannery He said that the canneny owners propose
to contract large acreages of potatoes and string
beans in this area.
Canning equipment proposed for the new
cannery would turn out 800 of yams per
hour, 800 cases of Irish potatoes hour, 400
cases of peaches hour 500 cases of beans
per hour. Based a ten week canning period
for yams, the cannery would be able to put up
$4,000 cases. A four week canning period for
peaches would result in &c, 800 cases. The pro-
posed eight week season for string beans would
see $4,000 cases in Some rs 900 cases of
Irish potatoes proposed bringing the total pros
Pectve production the first year 437, 800 cases
This is a minimum figure.
