J Capitol Comments Bloodless Compromise On Bon Surprise; Godwin Given An Ax By SIDNEY STAPLETON RELIEF - The adroit solution of the Britt Commission to the sticky problem of the Speaker Ban Law has resulted in an al most audible sigh of relief from both the staunchest supporters of the original law and those who were most dedicated to its de struction. For two years the opposing sides in the controversy were locked in what seemed an irre- concible deadlock with no mid dle ground on which to reconcile their differences. Even Gover nor Moore’s decision to refer the hot potato to the study com mission was assailed from both camps. Those favoring the ban felt Moore should have let sleeping dogs lie, while the opponents of the ban felt it was a cowardly way out. They wanted Moore to come out flatly during the 1965 regular assembly session and in sist the law be repealed or dras- WE HAVE IT! the beatitUul new OIL HOME HEATER with the miracle el SUPER FLOOR HEAT! tically amended. But in the fever heat of the debate, to have done either would have been political suicide for the new governor. Magically, the Britt Commis sion’s compromise on the law has been welcomed, despite dire predictions to the contrary. REACTION - Typical of the reaction from the strongest foes of the gag law was that of Watts Hill, Sr., of Durham. After the ori^nal idea of a compromise was voiced by Sen, Robert Mor gan of Harnett, Hill had a few things to say. Morgan’s plan in cluded the basic policy statement finally made a part of the Britt recommendation, and Hill ar gued heatedly that any such state ment would amount to “prior restraint.” He was sure the Uni versity trustees (of which he is a member) would never commit themselves to such a limitation. But the broadness of the end result of the Britt commission’s investigation made Hill change his mind. As he put it, “I’m always prepared to fight for my convictions, but this is no time to be too legalistic.’' The opposite side of the coin was Gatesville Rep. Phil God win who had vowed to fight to the end any motion to weaken the law. In fact, only two short weeks ago Godwin was openly discuss ing the possibility of a statewide referendum on the measure to let the voters settle it. But since the commission’s recommendation, Godwin has softened his tone considerably and given his basic assent to the compromise. VICTORY - Actually, the end result is a victory for both sides. Those concerned with the ban’s effect on the University got rid of the main thorn in their side,- the fact that the law made the trustees subject to the legisla ture in an academic area. That was the point that troubled the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, But at the same time, the pro ponents of the ban scored a few points of their own. They suc ceeded in dramatizing the fact that communist speakers had ap peared on the University campus and that some students had been attracted by them. And they threw a genuine scare Into the trustees and the Univer sity administration. In the future the University officials will be extremely careful who speaks and why, what he says, and the circumstances surrounding his appearance, A few short months ago, no one on Cs^itol Hill would have given even odds for such a bloodless settlement of thedispute.Butnow friend and foe alike seem grateful that the troublesome ghost has about been laid to rest. SHAKEUP - The recent string of resignations in the Depart ment of Conservation and Devel opment may well be an indication' of things to come in several oth er State agencies. In the few months since Gov ernor Moore took office, no less than six resignations have hit C & D’s Commerce and Industry Division. Two of these (Russell Hanson and E, Bruce Peabody) were outright firings. The other four men who left sensed the hand writing on the wall and made themselves scarce before the axe fell. And it’s not over yet. At least four more members of the Divi sion are understood to have quietly put out the word that they are available. At least one of these will be quite a surprise to some outsiders who have insist ed there is nothing political in the leave-takings. Purvis; nephew, Harvey Purvis, Jr., and sister. Marguerite B.
