CAPE HATTERAS, N.C.
(UPI)—Two huge freighters,
IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory ol
Clinton Chappell who
departed this lite 6 years ago
today, September 15, 1966.
Your memory is a
keepsake in our hearts from
which we will never part.
Though God has you in His
keeping, we still have you in
our hearts. With
outstretched hands and a
cheery smile, you wandered
into that Heavenly land.
With prayerful hearts we all
must wait, until we meet
inside those Golden Gates. If
we had all the world to give,
we would give it and more to
hear your voice and see your
smile just once more.
So dear and sweet and in
your prime, we had you with
us so long and a happy time.
Wewondered why you had to
go without a chance to say
goodbye, but we accept as
God knows best. As one of
His Angels, you are at rest.
Gone but not forgotten.
Wife, Beulah Chappell
Children, Grandchildren,

A checking account to balance the budget.
Election year you hear a lot of talk about balancing the national

locked together after a Colli
son, drifted in the “graveyard
of the Atlantic” today until
Coast Guard inspectors could
determine whether they could
be safely separated.
The Coast Guard said board
ing parties would investigate
the Trans Hawaii and the
Republica de Colombia this
morning about 12 miles off the
coast. If the vessels cannot be
parted without danger, officers
said, the ships would have to be
towed to port.
P'our crewmen were injured
and the chief engineer of the
544-foot Republica de Colombia
was missing in the collision
Thursday afternoon. The 520-
foot Trans Hawaii rammed 30
feet into the engine room of the
Colombia, which was carrying
110,000 gallons of diesel fuel.
Welfare mess
Some simply can earn living
off Cape Hatteras after a collision. (UPI)
The missing engineer was
believed stranded in the engine
room of the vessel.
About 24,000 gallons of fuel oil
spilled into the Atlantic from
two ruptured tanks and the
Coast Guard said it was
possible the oil could reach the
isolated beaches of North
Carolina’s famed Outer Banks.
The Coast Guard said the
Republica de Colombia was
listing to starboard and taking
on water after the collision and
“the possibility exists that the
Colombia will sink when the
vessels will disengage.”
The Trans Hawaii tried to
disengage itself Thursday and
failed.
The vessels were floating in
water about 60 feet deep in an
area once known as the
“graveyard of the Atlantic”

Millions of middle-class
Americans cling stubbornly to
the myth that no one really
needs to be poor in America.
They reassure each other at
dinner parties that “those
people’’ on welfare are chise
lers who are too lazy to work.
Even some members of
Congress are addicted to the
notion that the nation’s multi
billion dollar outlay on public
assistance goes mainly into the
pockets of people who could
support themselves if they
tried, but who prefer sponging
off the taxpayers.
This is nonsense. And it is
dangerous nonsense, because it
keeps Americans from con
fronting intelligently one of
their most serious social
problems.
The fact is —and it is a fact,
not an attitude or an argument,
txit a hard fact —that we have
because of the frequency of
diipwrecks.
The Trans Hawaii, owned by
Hudson Waterways of New
York, and the Republica de
Colombia, owned by Sulzer
Bros. Limited of Cartagaua,
Colombia, were both en route to
Boston when they collided.
Four of the 56 persons aboard
the South American ship were
injured, the Coast Guard said,
but all were reported in
satisfactory condition at Albe
marle Hospital in Elizabeth
City.
The remaining 51, including
five stowaways who reportedly
boarded in Jacksonville, Fla.,
were transported to the Trans
Hawaii, which had 48 persons
aboard.
millions of hard-core poor in
this country who are dependent
on public support because they
cannot earn a living.
There was a time when
welfare rolls contained a
substantial number of potential
wage-earners. But most of
these were weeded out through
various federal and private job
programs in the 1960’5. At the
start of that decade, we had
nearly 40 million persons —one
fifth of the population —living
below the official poverty line.
By 1968, that figure had shrunk
to 25 million, or one-eighth of
the population. Since 1968, there
has been very little change in
the number of poor, which
indicates we are getting close
to the rock bottom figure of
unemployables.
Few Poor Can Work
Further evidence of this is
found in the fact that only 12
per cent of the people now
classified as poor are physically
able to work. And most of that
12 per cent are women, with
small children. Able-bodied
males comprise only about 1
per cent of the total welfare
roll.

Illinois
McGovern bucking odds
By DAVID SMOTHERS
UPI Senior Editor
CHICAGO (UPl)—Democra
tic faithful are praying that the
same grass roots fervor that
got George S. McGovern’s
primary campaign winging will
save Illinois for him in
November.
It will take a lot of hustle.
McGovern’s managers say
they must take Illinois to win
the country—but early polls
show President Nixon winning
here handily.
McGovern planners are bank
ing on the usual ingredients for
Democratic victory in Illinois—
the heart and muscle of which
is what some critically call the
Chicago Democratic machine.
But even a machine, a
political machine at least, can
have hurt feelings. A vital
factor in McGovern’s chances
has to be how badly feelings
were hurt when the senator’s
people managed to bar Mayor
Richard J. Daley and his
Chicago delegates from the
Democratic National Conven
tion.
The last time he talked
publicly about that embarrass
ment, Daley said, “Why should
I get mad?” McGovemites
hope Daley means it. Some
Chicago machine watchers won
der.
Last Illinois Campaign
Given these troubles and
more, McGovern loyalists hark
back to the last time their man
campaigned in Illinois. He had
just trailed in the New
are old people, children, sick or
handicapped people, and un
married women who have no
job skills to market even if
there were day care centers at
which they could park their
fatherless children.
“Tighteningup” welfare rules
with “work-or-else” require
ments —a favorite prescription
of taxpayers who resent the
welfare burden —obviously isn’t
going to make a blind 70-year
old widow become a self
supporting wage earner.
The choice our society faces
is starkly simple: Either we
can put the hard-core poor on
some kind of permanent
government dole, or we can let
them remain mired in poverty
and deprivation. People who
prefer the latter course are
entitled in our democracy to
advocate it, but they shouldn’t
be hypocrites about it.
Most Americans probably
prefer the former solution, and,
the only real issue among them
is how best to arrange the
necessary dole. President Nixon
proposes a government-guaran
teed cash income of $2,400 a
year for a family of four.
campaign
Hampshire primary, conceded
Florida, and was giving Illinois
the token treatment before
taking on the Democratic field
in Wisconsin.
McGovern came out of
Illinois with only a few
delegates but he won big in
Wisconsin and became a red
hot contender nationally.
The young man credited with
laying the groundwork for
Wisconsin was Gene Pokorny,
one of the first McGovern
“whiz kid” managers to surface
in the 1972 campaign.
Now Pokorny is in Chicago
running McGovern headquar
ters at 73 W. Monroe Street,
plotting to pull off another
Wisconsin.
He hopes to do it in much the
same way, working from the
precinct and store front levels
up, bringing his candidate to
the people and working the
issue of alleged tax inequality
for all it’s worth.
The polls, he predicted, would
change now that the campaign
structure had been shaken
down and “we begin to take the
message to the people of
Illinois... You’ll begin to see
some switching around because
right now people have some
wrong perceptions about who
George McGovern is and what
he believes.”
As for Daley, Pokorny said
he considers the mayor a man
of his word.
Mayor Suports Ticket
“The mayor says he supports
the ticket and I believe he
supports the ticket,” Pokorny
aid “I have no reason to
believe he does not. There may
be some who would like to try
to win an election in Illinois
without the help of the Chicago
organization, but I am not one
of them.”
Beyond the mayor and his
precinct captains, Pokorny pla
ces much of his faith in the 106

pressed little guy.
Part of the McGovern prima
ry formula was what Pokorny
calls “the unique kind of
personality of George Mc-
Govern.” Accordingly, Mc-
Govern in recent weeks has
given his personality exposure
in Springfield, Chicago, Deca
tur, Peoria and Rockford.
None of the visits was much
of a political wow. But
McGovern will keep plugging in
Illinois with more of the same.
The President will be around,
too. He already has repeated
his 1968 pattern by opening his
current campaign in Chicago
the day after the GOP
convention closed.
