Pays for Welfare WASHINGTON - North Carolina collects more taxes than all but ten other states, but it still largely depends on federal coffers for public welfare costs, the U. S. Advisory Commission on In tergovernmental Relations has concluded. In a comparative study of the role of federal, state, and local governments in financing services, the commission con cluded that North Carolina state government supports a larger percentage of public school costs than any state in thj countrv. But the State depended on federal expenditures for public welfare to the extent that no IT NEVER FAILS JS /*/ / AH-M.SS T«c-(7£'S THAT ou P^ l / / / "TVvitlv, i«/iAG'we Tvw-a.TQov.eo ASA,*- ]1 N)3WT ON A \ ™ \ i«To wj I-/ 1 WAv6hJ T seew tuat J i aee« ano makes J / \ weat - MA-y i ) OO.P WM»K «IS ow* 6A> W.TH S - ) uawc ' V t>oti IN wsee VET- EVEBVSOOY \ ..U - \ ✓ 1 DOW'T THINK WE }/QR- ELSE'S J /L ?

The commission study, although largely concerned with state level revenues and spen ding, pointed significantly to local government financial ef forts. And the figures for North Carolina showed that a highly centralized state government is meeting a larger percentage of the costs for nearly every pro gram. Even though its share of public welfare costs were low, the share from local governments in the State was equally low. Using often-quoted statistics about state and local tax rates, the study showed that North Carolinians paid in a total tax take that ranked as the nation's 11th largest in 1967, The State paid 69.6 per cent of the total public school budget compared to a national percen tage of 45.4 per cent. Only eight per cent of the' State's public welfare costs were being met by State revenues, the report said. That compared to a national percentage of 35.5 per cent. The State's local governments were paying only 20 per cent of public welfare costs. Food Stamp Revisions Are Sought WASHINGTON - The National Planning Associa tion's Agriculture Committee says a revised food stamp pro gram costing about $3.8 billion a year and reaching 10 million persons should replace "present inadequate" food programs. In a report released Sunday, the committee said the new plan, aimed at giving low in come families more freedom of choice, should replace the "paternalistic" system of direct distribution of com modities to welfare recipients. Also, the report said, all food programs for the poor should be removed from the Department of Agriculture. "Food aid policies should be considered entirely as pro grams of help for poor people and not as farm programs," the committee said. The report was prepared by two North Carolina State University economists, Dale M. Hoover and James G. Mad dox. Under their plan the actual cost to recipients of a food stamp worth $1 at a grocery store would be set by program officials. Stamps "equal to the cost of an adequate diet" ($1,255) would be given free to families below a selected in come level, roughly one fourth of the Social Security Administration's poverty line of about $940 a year.

Hammond, whose house was the object of a shotgun attack a month ago, reported Saturday night that a white man assaulted him at the Beaufort County Hospital. Ham mond is this city's only Negro physician. Washington Police Chief Phillip Paul said his department was called by another Washington doctor Saturday around 9:30 p.m. The chief said Dr. Hammond was driving into the hospital parking lot when an old model car with a dealer's license plate nearly ran into the back of his car. The alleged assault oc curred when Hammong got out of his car. Dr. Hammond apparently was only shaken up by the brief en counter, which according to him, involved "three or four blows." His glasses were bent in the scuffle. The night of Feb. 16. Dr. Hammond's home on U.S. 264 east of Washington was fired on. Shotgun pellets hit his automobile and struck a picture window in the house where the doctor and his wife were sleep ing. They were not injured. The shooting was not discovered un til the following morning. Beaufort County sheriff's of ficers and the State Bureau of Investigation are still in vestigating that shooting and a second one at a farm in the same general area. Hammond came to Beaufort County to practice medicine in July 1965. He and his wife moved into t 'i %V their flew brick lasUtam hood. Prior to the February shooting, there -had been no previous trouble. - ■ > f K > Dr. Ha&unond'* wife,, a nurse with the Beaufort County Board of Education, works with the ESEA program.
