Legislators Said
Easier Since Pay Is Stopped
By SOLA IV. GREENWOOD
SPECIAL . . . Sitice flair pay
stepped ? hue ?, most legis
lators have been iri listed no
ead at 1m extra time (her have
been forced to spend in Ra
letgh away from their law prac
tice and various other taaimss
es. jflj
But not so the clerks, the
stenographers, the pages, and
the scores of other stagehands
necessary for the proper and
efficient operation of the N. C.
General Asembly. The longer
the session, the better they Uke 1
it.
By and large, the wart is not '
hard? and the pay is good, fast 1
a lot of the hi#sl?{ii?? assist
ants have been on these every
other-year positions for two and ]
three deeades. They eaa tell
you where a piece of legislation
is more quickly than any Bern- '
ber of the Legislature.
But all of this coats pleat;.
When Senate redisricting 1
ran into serious trouble again
last week, there was talk that
the whole matter should be de
layed until a later date ...
when the Legislature coold con
vene in special session and de
vote its time exclusively to the
problem.
But yoa can figure that a '
special session of the N. C. Gen- 1
eral Assembly will cost the 1
taxpayers at leaat $50,000 . . .
with the figure 'fkely to go 1
$100,000 or better, depending,
of coarse, upon the length of
the session. A special this year
would coat aproximately $500,
000.
HOW NOW? . . . With the J
multi-membered N. C. Fans
Bureau Federation said to be
looking with favor upon the
poaaible candidacy of Dr. Henry
Jordan for the Democratic no
mination as Governor, where
does this leave Robert Scott of
Brw River, dose kind to Dr.
Jordan?
Scott is Master of flw State
Orange, paddling Ms vim canoe.
This one will tear watching.
Maybe Br. Jordan will hove
both . . .
1 " ?.<?>! m,
TBI SLOWDOWN . . . There
is no way to prove It, but the
belief there is that Gov. Terry
Stnford and the Kennedy bro
thers have been in rather close
touch on the touch-and-go rac
ial situation daring the past
tiro weeks.
The w?rd we get from Wash
ington is that the President is
leaning heavily upon fee ad
vice of Southern moderates
Ike the North Carolina Gover
nor as he attempts to keep the
dfennybrook from getting com
pletely oat of hapd.
A few hour* before Governor
Sarfford went on the air to ask
far no farther demonstrations,
Attorney GenerA Robert Ken
nedy had advised Danville, Va.,
Negro leaders to "take it easy".
Old he call Gov. Sanford?
With the college students now
home for a season and daily
concessions being made on eda
cational, religious, and econom
ic levels, there was definite
hope last week that a cooling
off period for quiet discussion
had arrived.
FEAR ... Not a little mid
night oil has beea blued at

However, there fa deep, deep
feeling ? and }ost a lot of Me
?on both side* of the coin.
They won't permit themselves
to be qaoted, bat some officials
here high in State Government
are fearful that the demonstra
tions may not be ao eaafly halt
ed . . , and cooM become much
worse.
Consensus here, nevertheless,
is that Terry Sanford has in
Capus Waynick the ablest man
in the South in his honest en
deavors to arrive at a peaceful,
solution to the race riddle.
The days from now until
Joly 15 should forecast the fu
ture.

LANIER . . . Only one of our
top elective State officials has
had a whole lot of worry with
this particular edition of the
N. C. General Assembly.
He is Edwin Sidney Lanier,
who was named by Governor
Terry Sanford to succeed the
late Charles Gold as Insurance
Commissioner.
Moeh of this Legislature'! at
tention has been devoted to in
sur*ice, insurance programs,
liability insurance, and the var
ious and sundry problems as
sociated with them.
It is not so recognized as yet,
but the far-flung duties of the
Insurance Department here
make the job of Insurance Com
miasioner more important to
the people than almost any oth
er State position.
Oar State Insurance Depart
ment as it is now constituted
?off to it Mtf wMfc ft] Mm bou
and a* a saparats department ?
b relatively new. It is only
about d years old.
We have had relatively lew
Insurance Commissioners Not
one of them has ever been de
feated for office. One or two
died in office; and the others
have Moved to other State or
private occupations.
Our current Insurance Com
missioner is a slender, (raying,
likeable, and deceptively mild
mannered man. He will be 82 M
he lives until Ally IB. He was
born la Georgia, but since com
ing to Chapel Hill in 1K1 aa a
student at UNC he has lived in
North Carolina. His wife was
Nancy Herndon of Durham.
Commissioner Lanier taught at
the Baptist Orphanage at Tkom
asville in the 20's. He is a
leading Baptist layman.
As students aid supervisor,
etc., he made friends all over
the State. More than a few UNC
alumni in large and small cities
. . and away back in the coun
try, too ... say daily silent
thanks to Edwin S. Lanier for
helping them "get through col

He has served at least three
terms to our knowledge as may

Sanford knew him well when
he appointed him to succeed
Charles Gold. He has had one
