is picturing entering upon an
orgy of youth. a Youth DEAL as
the incorrigible deal-sayers have
it.
BE THANKFUL 1T ISN'T so.
Would that there were indeed an
era promised in which the vir-

cised, but this is rather one in
which the frailties are expressed
or exploited. All over the world

it isn't, 1t is turned dead-hearted

boys; angry young men, who
don't know why, rebels without
a cause; security-seekers: sit-in
and sper youth: Presley
youth; know-it-all youth = and
the dreadfully convential youth.
Senator Kennedy is inviting to
more of the same old stuff.
It is these conventionals who
are electrified when Kennedy
comes clarifying youth and de-
scribing as their new frontier
what is in fact the oldest and
most conventional thing in mod
ern sight; namely, governmental
ism.
IF WE ARE ENTERING an
era in which the hair of Kennedy
is as much in the sight as the
teeth of the Earl Warrens, the
distinction may well be con-
sidered in age but not in ide-
OlOgy.
DAVID LAWRENCE, citing the
u n d e m Ocra of conven-

drums Of the arbitrarily named
chairman. Three times at Los
Angeles Chairman Collins hear
ing was dubious on important,
indeed historic. decisions. There
was doubt when he heard the
noes have it to eliminate the
civil rights plank. There was
more doubt when he heard the
ayes have it to accept the plat
form as a whole. And there was
more than doubt, there was GER
tainty. that the chairman didn't
hear any two thirds vote for sus-

be named by reclamation.
They say johnson would have
been named anyhow, so why
snap at trifle. But who knows!
Conventions dominated for Presi-
dent have been known for that
very reason to "bust loose" on
the Vice Presidency, insisting in
belated self-respect on an open
choice. It was like that when
Coolidge was nominated with
Harding, if l remember right.
But for that wrong hearing at
Los Angeles the radical platform
might have been rejected, John
son might not have been named,
and the course of party and ma
tional history might have been
changed.

APPROVAL RECOMMENDED
OCRACOKE INLET PROJECT

A $4.6-million-dollar plan of the
Army Engineers for improvement
of Ocracoke Inlet was approved
Wednesday by the Board of En-
gineers for Rivers and Harbors.
The project would include dredg-
ing of an 1S-foot channel across
the ocean bar into the sound and
probable construction of a pro-
tective jetty on the Ocracoke side
of the bar channel.
Recommended by the district
engineer at Wilmington and the
South Atlantic engineer at Allan
ia, the proposal has been in the
works for almost five years. A
study by the engineers was auth
orized in 1866 by a resolution
jointly sponsored by Reps. Her
bert C. Bonner (D-NC) and Ora
ham A. Barden (D-NC).
Ocracoke is one of the two in
let's between Morehead City, and
Cape Henry, Va, big enough to
provide any sort of haven fol
shrimping trawlers or other coast
al vessels, but cannot be used fol
the purpose without a stable
channel.
The channel proposed by the
engineers would be 400 feet wide
and provide 18-foot draft at low
water.
Cost of dredging is estimated
at $1S5,000 with similar amount
needed annually thereafter fol
maintenance. The protective jetty
recommended for construction il
necessary, would cost $4,438, 900
with $4,000 a year for mainte-
nance.
Despite approval by the Rivers
and Harbors Board, the project
will almost certainly have to wait
till fiscal 1862 for authorization

cries for help repeatedly heard in

Reports of the voices from the

search was negative :. :. A story
about the panther" possibility re-
