Raleigh Roundup: Proposed TaxOn Cigarettes Is Debated
Continued from 6-A
floor but exclaimed: “Hell, fire,
the bid's popped off.” And Hep.
Ed N. Warren of Pitt, who is a
tobacco warehouseman,
precticted, “that bill will never
sail. Everybody is picking on
our program, from Califano on
down.”
So, instead of popping into
holes, the defenders of the
tobacco barons were popping
out in droves.
—O—
The governor came back to a
joint session of the House and
Senate Monday evening to
deliver his crime control
message and to outline his
strategy to prevent crime and
"save our people.” As usual the
galleries were packed. This
time there were law en
forcement officers from all over
the state, most of whom had
been invited by the governor to
a reception at the mansion and
to hear his address to follow.
Several of the members had
requested the Speaker to extend
the courtesies of the galleries to
their friends from home and it
became a never-ending chore.
The Speaker finally said: “All
of us extend the courtesies of
the gallery to all of you up
there.”
Most of the people in the state
now know that R. Brent
Hackney, a deputy press
secretary who helped write the
govemoor’s speech, found his
coat had disappeared. We now
have a follow-up on that event.
It seems that he had left his coat
in the press room on the first
floor and after his complaints
were heard the next morning, a
Community Watch poster was
placed on the pressroom door.
That same day Hackney
recovered his coat which was
found hanging in the office of
Zeb Alley, the governor’s
liaison with the General
Assembly.
“Well, the governor’s crime
prevention program is getting
quick results,” the em
barrassed deputy quipped.
There is a second chapter,
also, to the interesting little
accident involving Rep. Howard
Coble of Guilford, who drove his
motor vehicle down the steps of
the N. C. Association of
Educators Building a few
evenings ago. The gentleman
pleaded guilty for he said he
fumed into what looked, for all
the world, like a driveway.
Some partisan fun resulted
when his colleagues learned
there were no injuries nor little
damage.
Since a bipartisan crowd of
senators and representatives
were on hand to attend a
reception, there were plenty of
partisan exchanges with the
Guilford representative on the
receiving end. “Make him walk
a straight line, officer,” one
member called to one of
Raleigh’s finest who had been
attracted to the scene. Os
course, the officer determined
that Hep Coble was only
arriving at the party and not
leaving and was in control of his
faculties, no tests were given
and no charges filed But, Rep.
Thomas Rabon of Brunswick
was determined that his
Republican colleague would not
get off so easy On the floor of
the House he said there was a
moral to the story:
“That often it takes a whole
band of good Democrats to
clean up one Republican's
mess.”
—O—
Another signal honor has
come to Rep. Dwight Quinn of
Cabarrus. Thursday he
received a letter from
Secretary of State Iliad Eure
which offered congratulations
to the Gentleman from
Cabarrus for having served
more continuous terms in one
body of the General Assembly
than any other member in the
history of the legislature. Rep.
said, had served 16
two-year terms or 32 years in
the House of Representatives..
The Secretary went on to say
that in 1789 a Gates County
statesman came to the General
Assembly and served 38 years.
These were one-year terms but
were served in both the house
and the senate.
The Gentleman from
Cabarrus was roundly ap
plauded and the Speaker said:
“Dwight, stand up and let us see
how durable you are.”
Rep. Quinn thanked the
Speaker and his colleagues and
said he was glad that Thad Eure
had discovered he was not the
only old rat in the Democratic
ham and that he had foiaid that
there had been someone from
Cabarrus who had been in state
government as long as someone
from Gates.
After these exchanges the
courtesies of the galleries were
extended to Mrs. Quinn and
their granddaughter. Miss
Connie Dodge of Atlanta, who
was visiting her grandparents
during the week
—4 k
It is a custom for members
who have friends, relatives and
constituents in the galleries to
send notes to the Speaker
asking him to extend the
courtesies of the galleries to
these people. Tuesday it was
evident that the presiding of
ficer was having some dif
ficulties with his notes.
Whereupon he asked Rep. Edd

make an announcement. The
Gentleman arose and extended
the courtesies of the gallery to
some people from his district.
The Speaker explained:
“Sometimes when I ask a

announcement it is because I
can’t read his writing.”
THE CHOWAN HERALD
There have been a number of
visitors in the galleries and
roaming the corridors of she
state house during the past
week. There were large
delegations of Democratic
Women who entertained
legislators at an elaborate
reception at Democratic

Professional Women came
down and greeted their
representatives here at a
luncheon in the Archives and
History building. For the first
time members of the N. C.
Medical Society Auxiliary were
in the city and visiting their
lawmakers. The Auxiliary
hosted a breakfast at the Hilton
Inn Thursday morning and the
N. C. Medical Society honored
the legislators at a cocktail
buffet niursday evening at the
Capitol City Club. Tlie historic

Heps Robie Nash of Rowan
and Jay Huskins of Iredell, two
Democratic survivors from the
Northwest disaster area, were
having lunch in the legislative
cafeteria the other day when
GOP Sen. Donald Kincaid of
Caldwell came by and asked if
■ i.sday , February 13, 1961
he could join hem.
He, of course, was welcomed.
Then GOP Sen. Cass
Ballenger of Catawba came by
and asked if he could join the
three'of them.
“Yes,” said the Gentleman
from Iredell. “But one more
would make a majority, and
that’s where 1 draw the line.”
