It Is con fined to discussions of matters of general interest and major Impor tance. . Public legislation of major Im portance began coming in faster and the rate of bill introductions began to pick up as the General Assembly finished its fifth week. Public hearings outside of appro priations hearings have begun to attract state-wide attention; bills of general Interest are making their way to the floor of both houses daily, and they are being Test Your I.

The Gov ernor's legislative program la mov ing along with apparent support from both houses and win probab ly move faster following his re turn to Raleigh. Occasional refer ences to controversial legislation not yet introduced and the fact that the appropriations and finance committees are still delng spade work serve as reminders that much work remains to be done. , r -;, Appropriation and Finance Attention this week has shifted to the state's revenue laws,' part ly because of the disturbing im plications of appflroptrfiationsl f e qnesta which now exceed the Ad visory Budget Commission's recom mendations by over $50 million. A joint finance sub-committee was assigned the task of examining the state's reportedly complicated cor porate tax structure with an eye to making it more attractive to industry; - a second sub-committee was assigned the job of moderniz ing the license tax schedules (set in 1931 in the light of two de cades of economic change. Despite Rep( Winkler's proposal made on Monday, which would impose a 1 cent ax on retail sales of soft drinks and bring in an estimated $1 1-2 million annually, little leg islative support for additional tax es is evident. Appearances by the consolidated University of North Carolina and the Hospitals Board of Control highlighted the appropriations com mittee hearings this week. Two more weeks of hearing remain. University officials asked for over $5 million, divided between opera ting funds and permanent improve ments, and suggested that if uni versity needs were also incorporat ed in -a bond issue, they would ARE YOU PLANNING TO BUILD?

ReorganJiaUon Administration reorganization bills in various stages of legislative processing met little opposition during the. week. One bill (SB 84), aimed at a reorganization of the Department of Conservation and Development by empowering the Governor to appoint an entirely new" 15-member board on July 1, 1953, received rapid approval from, the Senate C&iD committee and passed the Senate on Friday with out a dissenting vote. Displaying an Impressive array of sponsor's signatures on their jackets but ac companied by rumors of some op position, identical bills were in troduced in the House and Senate on Thursday to permit a five-mem ber committee appointed by the Governor to increase the number of highway divisions from 10 to 15 and change die boundaries of existing divisions if the Governor determines such- changes to be in the public interest. Suggested by Governor TJmsteads inaugural message, the last public bill in troduced this week in the House CUR. 205) provides for a nine-mem ber commission to be appointed by. the Governor to study and make recommendations to the Governor by Nov. 15, 1954, as to the neces sity and -advisabliity of a reorgan ization of the state government in the Interest of more efficient and economical administration. HB 36, which creates a three-man pa roles board, was ratified on Tues day. .: . ; j Courts : 1 SCREENS ASBESTOS SIDING DRAIN TILE FLUE LINING BRICK PLYWOOD -DISAPPEARING STAIRWAY inc.

This week Rep. . Whitmire Intro duced KB 163, proposed by the Judical Council, which would add an additional resident Judge in the 4th 8th, 10th, 12th. 14th an 19th districts and prvlde for their assignment and rotation. The new Judges would be appointed by the Governor this year to serve until their successors are elected in the 1954 general elections. While it is hoped that the new resident Judges will reduce the need for as many as eight sepcial Judges HB 175 would give the Governor what has become standard authority to ap point as many as eight for two year terms. a. -v ; ; Roads and Highway Safety : Law enforcement Officers seek ing to curb speeders on the high ways opposed hot-rod enthusiats at the public Shearing on HB 90 held os Thursday before the House Judiciary 2 .committee. Suggested by Governor Umstead in his in augural mesage, the bill would prohibit operation on the highways of any motor vehicle which has 4een altered so as to Increase its speed. , The committee deterred action on the proposal following a lively debate. The Senate bill designed to impose a mandatory prison sentence on drunken drivers for second and subsequent offen ses' received committee approval In the form of a substitute bill this week. The committee substitute would change the penalty origin ally proposed for a se:ond offense from, imprisonment for from ; 60 days to 6 months to imprisonment in discretion of the court, and fox third or subsequent offenses from lmprlsonmnet for from 6 months to 2 years to Imprisonment for from, 60 days to 2 years. The sub stitute bill is on the Senate calen dar for Monday. Election Law Changes : On JHonday night six bills con taining election law changes en dorsed by the State Board of Elec tions were Introduced in.the Sen ate, Perhaps the most newsworthy measure would revise the law pro viding for investigation and prose cution of election law violations. require SBI investigations on re quest of the Governor, Board of Elections, Attorney General or any waXnfor cout . solicitor, permit aemovai ei trial irom the county in which the offense took place to county in the Judical district or adjoining district, and permit pros ecution of violations constituting a felony by the. Attorney General when called upon' by the Gover nor and Board.. Hard-pressed pre cinct officials will hall the bill requiring any precinct having more man iouu registrations to be split so that no precinct will have more than 1500 registrations. Among other changes were (1) increased compensation for county election board members, (2) advance reg istration provisions for cities above 50,000 and (3) statutes to carry in to effect the constitutional change permitting the Governor to fill leg islative vacancies by appointment of the person recommended by the county executive committee of the party of the deceased member rather than by special election. . Local Government - Expected permissive "home rule" legislation has now mater ialized in the form of three house bills to give county commissioners authority to fix: 1) salaries of all county officials and employees ex cept county commissioners: (21 Fna of the superior court clerk, regis ter of deeds, sheriff.
