Magazine Tells Of Speech That Won The Fight "North Carolina Archi tect," official publication of the North Carolina Chapter of the Institute, in a special issue marking the 20th anni versary North Carolina Mu seum of Art, 1947-67, which reached our desk this week pays tribute to two Warren County citizens?John Kerr, Jr., former speaker of the House of Representatives, and the late Mrs. Katherlne Pen dleton Arrlngton, president of the North Carolina Art So ciety for nearly 30 years. The tribute to Mrs. Arrlng ton is the reproduction of resolution adopted by the Board of Directors of theN.C. Art Society meeting in Raleigh on June 30, IMS. In a note proceeding the re-publication of the tribute, the magazine which describes Mrs. Arrlng ton as a "larger-than-Life figure (who) dominated the history of Art In North Caro lina, Mid "Mrs. Katherlne Pendleton Arrlngton, presi dent of the North Carolina Art Society tor nearly thirty years, the lovely lady who Inspired worship In her fol lowers and guided the organi zation's early footsteps through a harsh and barren land." John Kerr, Jr., has long been credited with saving the bill that approprlated a million dollars for the purchase of art In North Carolina, and the title of the article of Kerr's efforts is headed "The Speech That Swept the Bill to Victory." The article reads as follows: Many opponents of the art bill considered art too high falutln' tor North Carolina taste. "TIm State of North Carolina has existed for al most 300 years without spend ing good money on an art collection. Why begin now? Others opposing an approp riation for the purchase of art made a last minute change in the bill to make the money apply to the erection of a museum building inrt?d. After this bill had died a natural death in the House, original bill introduced to the Senate. Against this background, a bill to appropriate a million dollars for the state purchase of art, on the mere promise that "someone up North" would put up a matching amount, seemed less likely to pass than any bill ever intro duced into any state legis lature anywhere by anyone. But pass it did, subject to the proviso that the State would have that amount of cash lying around loose at the end of the biennium. In the end, ait triumphed over oysters, Robert Lee Humber and John Kerr of Warren pushed the bill through a reluctant legis lature, and to everyone's sur prise the State did have the money. The strategies, the personsl alignments, the loyalties, the treacheries, the raw courses, the dumb stupidity, the per sonal potty meannesses, the stubborn adherence to the statesmanlike, the ft ij of governmental power i heady game and such a fasci nating spectacle, usually remain unknown until the story comes from those Involved. Twenty years Is too soon to hope for such a thing. But John Kerr's speech, which swept the Bill to victory, has become a legend. "I know that I am facing a hostile audience, but man can not live by bread alone ..." With the exception of these opening words, no one who heard him, in fact not even John Kerr himself, can re member a word he said. But everyone recalls the Impact of the speech. At the time one paper called him "gimlet-tongued tory ln~ teUectual" and later reported, "To date the beat display of legislative swordsmanship In the House came from War ren's John Kerr, the ax speaker and aU-rondvater?> who can spade spades, dot Fa and cross T*s and tie up his victim before the boys can bat an ere.
