Mnrpby Mother, Baby Among
2,300 Gnantanamo Evacuees
By N. J. Babb
The crisis In Cuba came
close to home to at least two
Murphy families last week.
Mrs. Paul Ingle, and her 11
month old son, Michael, were
among the hundreds of wives,
and children, that we re swiftly
igvooied amid the crista at the
Gusntanamo Naval Base in
Cuba on Monday, Oct. 22. In
Bailor's language, the sprawl
ing base is known as "Getmo."
Mrs. Ingle's husband is a
Link Trainee Operaa>r at the
giant Naval base in Cuba. 1st
Class Petty Officer Ingle
stands on alert with thousands
of his comrades-in-arms at
the strategically important
Mrs. Ingle and Michael were
among 2,300 U.S.Military de
pendents evacuated from Cuba
last week.
Three hundred and twenty
one of the evacuees were
brought into Norfolk by five
Marine Corps turbo-jet trans
ports.
Mrs. Ingle and her son
were among the 2,000 depend
ents that sailed from Cuba on
the troop transport Apshur.
Mrs. Ingle, the former Bes
sie Frances Johnson, Is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mont
Johnson of Route 1, Murphy
Her husband Is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Carter Ingle, also
of Route 1, Murphy.
Mrs. Ingle first learned of
the crisis developing around
her at noon on Monday, Oct.
22, slxhours before the Presi
dent made his historic
announcement to the world.
She was told by a Chief
Petty Officer to pack one bag
each, and be ready with her
son, to ship out In one hour.
Mrs. Ingle In her haste,
packed one bag with her baby's
tropical clothing. In the other
bag, she packed her highly
treasured sterling silver flat
ware. Her winter clothes,
including her winter coat,
were left behind with all the
furniture.
Michael, who was born at
Guantanamo Bay, December 1,
1961, and his mother arrived
in Norfolk, Va? around 1:00
p.m., Thursday, October 25,
in 51 degree weather clad in
light summer clothes.
They were met by civilian,
military personnel of every
service, Red Cross, Salvation
Army, and Goodwill Indus tries
personnel. '
Mrs. Ingle said she saw a big
sign imfnediately after leaving
the ship thatread"WarmClo
thes Across The Street - Go
Over And Get Them."
The Ingles and other de
pendents also received medi
cal attention.
An amusing sight, according
to Mrs. Ingle, were the U. S.
Navy personnel decked out in
full dress uniforms helping to
carry the babies ashore for the
mothers. The sailors were
even called on for such chores
as rocking babies and mixing
formulas.
Mrs. Ingle said she has no
idea when she and her son will
go back to Guantanamo but
she's ready to go back now.
On Tuesday of this week,
she received two boxes of
personal effects packed and
sent id her by the Seabees.
On Monday the first mail
came in from her husband. He
reports that he is fine and
working 18 hours a day.
Mrs. Ingle and son were met
at the Ashevllle Airport on
Saturday by Mrs. Bryan Whit
field, a long-time friend, and
Mrs. Edgar Harshaw.
The Ingles are staying with
the Whitflelds at present.

AMENDMENT NO. 2 - Re
apportionment of the House
of Representatives by the
Speaker. (Submitted by Ch.
4S9 - 1961 Session Laws.)
This Amendment retains for
each of the 100 counties at
least one representative re
gardless of population and re
quires the Speaker of the
House to reapportion the re
maining 20 representatives a
mong the several counties ac
cording to population after
every Federal census. The
House Speaker must use the
present constitutional formula
in his apportionment, and the
entry of his order on the House
Journal would control the al
location of House member
ship. At present, the Consti
tution requires reapportion
ment to be made by legislation
enacted by the General As
sembly. The proposed Amend
ment substitutes the Speaker's
order of reapportionment for
action by the General As
sembly as a whole.
AMENDMENT NO.3-Elec
tive atan executive offices ?
succession, appointment of the
acting officers ? Incapacity.
(Submitted by Ch. 466-1961
Session Laws)
The several amendments in
this proposition clarify and
add constitutional provisions
controlling succession to the
office of Governor and the
Lieutenant - Governor igton
death, resignation, or removal
from office, or temporary
physical or mental incapacity.
Procedure Is provided for the
volteitsry relief of the Cover -
nor from his duties ipon his
physical Incapacity and for
their resumption igmn his re
covery. Provision la made for
dearmiiiadon of the Gover
nor's mental Incapacity. The
to empowered map
perform the dudes of office
of members of toe Council of
Sane or die Attorney General
The General Assembly Is di
rected to provide by law a
procedure for determination
of physical or mental Incapa
city of these elective officers
to perform their duties, and
recovery by such elective of
ficials of their physical or
mental capacity. While con- .
Uniting Raleigh as the per
manent seat of government,
allowance is made for emer
gency temporary removal and
functioning of the government
elsewhere.
AMENDMENT NO. 4 - Resi
dence Requirements of Per
sons Voting for Presidential
Electors. (Submitted by Ch.
591 - 1961 Session Laws)
One of the present qualifi
cations for voting in this State
is that the prospective voter
must have been a resident
herein for one year. This pro
posed amendment would
authorize the General As
sembly to reduce this waiting
period so as to provide an
early vote only for the choice
of electors for President and
Vice-President of the United
States. This reduction in time
would not in itself have the
effect of qualifying such a
voter to hold office in this
State.
AMENDMENT NO. 5 - Reg
ulation of salaries of elective
officials of the Executive De
partment and Council ofStne.
(Submitted by Ch. 840 - 1961

uting the Council of Sua and

eral Assembly now has as to
other constitutional officers,
and nothing more.
AMENDMENT NO. 6. Uni
form state-wide classification
and exemption of property for
taxation. (Submitted by Ch.
1169 - 1961 Session Laws)
This amendment would pro
vide that the power of taxation
Is to be exercised for public
purposes only, in a Just and
equitable manner, and never
surrendered, suspended, or
contracted away. Only the
General Assembly would have
power to classify property
for taxation and that must be
exercised on a State-wide
basis. No class or subject
of property may be taxed ex
cept by uniform rule. Classi
fication must be uniformly
applicable In every coiaity,
municipality and other local
taxing isiit. Except for trades
and professions for local lic
ense tax purposes, fee power
of the Gensrsl Assembly ?
classify may not bedalsgetad.
Porperty of the State, count
ies, snd municipal corp
orations would be exempt from
