The overwhelmingly Democratic assembly lost little time in install ing officers who were nominated at the majority party caucuses last night Senator J. Hampton Price of Rockingham, nominated today by Senator Ballentine of Wake, had no opposition, and Rep. John H. Kerr, Jr., of Warren, nominated by Rep. Taylor of Wayne for the speakership, defeated Rep. Ferree of Randolph, his Republi can opponent. 104 to 10. After the swearing-in formalities both the senate and house rolled up their sieves and went to work. Lieut. Gov. R. L. Harris urged that the senate give serious con sideration to every bill, and to pass none under suspension of the rules. Because, he said, if a bill is important enough to be intro duced, it is important enough to be considered by committee. This, he said, is a period of un precedented significance and not ihe time for debate over petty is sus. He asked the senators to discard ihe age-old policy of ex tended week-ends, to stick to their jobs and get them done quickly and efficiently. He previously had commented that if such a policy were instituted, final adjournment could be realized in 50 days. Then the lieutenant governor ig nored precedent and announced his committee appointments, which usually are made on the second or third day. He placed Senator H. P. Taylor of Anson at the head of the appropriations committee on which Senator J. E. L. Wade of New Hanover was named, and Senator Thomas O’Berry of Wayne at the head of the finance com mittee.

Wagner, that the body had been found in the wreckage of a plane about 25 miles from Eglin Field. • Officers at the field declined to comment on the crash. The Pen sacola, Fla., Journal stated how ever, that the badly wrecked pur suit plane, its engine buried six feet in the earthy had been found 11 mil^s from Defuniak springs.
