The picture, as the Chief Executive paints it, is not one to bring rejoicing. The prospect of continuing under the stresses that characterize these present days is depressing. It calls for a courage that wre cannot be sure that we possess, and diplomacy that borders on the impossible. To continue our present policy is a difficult task in view of the Soviet plan for world domination. The United States cannot concede, nor can she afford to trigger a nuclear holocaust by adopting a plan of offense.

Yet the Red tide continues to rise, threatening not only Berlin but much of the world, including Cuba, 90 miles from U.S. soil. Whether the President's course of action can be followed remains to be seen. Can Russia be contained indefinitely? Can the United States retain a firm hand while that hand hovers over a pistol butt? The young Chief Executive left many questions unanswered yester President Kennedy's address yesterday in Kenan Stadium was a far cry from the Berlin policy speech -expected. Only in the broadest terms did the talk touch on the stalemate in that cloven city.

The reiterated emphasis on peaceful settlement can be interpreted as a commitment to repeated attempts toward negotiation and possible concessions on the issues in Berlin and elsewhere. All-out war over Berlin still remains only a faint possibilitj'. The "firm hand" that the President has made much of in recent months still seems to apply to limited war. Defense Secretary McNamara's pleas and plans for a capable and swift-striking force in the event of limited war seems to bear this out. The President said nothing yesterday that he has not said in one form or another before.

And the nation still sits, waiting and anxious for the path to peace to be opened. The affirmation that the people of this nation will not ihave to choose between being either Red or dead spells out a hope that all have felt, but of which wre cannot be sure. Rededication to both peace and liberty is a difficult course to follow. That we are destined, as the President put it, to "live out most, if not all, of our lives in uncertainty and challenge and peril" each day 4 -J Governor Opens Fair John F.

What Roy Park said in Greensboro emphasizes the importance of making adequate provision f6r the higher education of our young people "The significant thing about the development of North Carolina has not been the increase of manufacturing activities, the new industries, the new products or the increased dollar income (the significance is in) the accelerated progress in providing education and character building for our young people (the three institutions of the Consolidated University) are producing smart; well-educated young men and women, trained for leadership roles in industry, education and politics Roy Park was describing what the Consolidated University has done for our young people and by inference what it can do in the years to come. It can do the job in the future, however, only if it has the tools it needs and it cannot get those tools if the bond issue is not approved on November In that bond issue are the funds needed for dormitories, classrooms, laboratories, things the University and other institutions of higher learning must nave if they are to do the jobs for which they were created.

It is good to have such an appraisal of the Consolidated University from such a man at any time.
