Holmes, Attorney* make the race and to rebuke can didate H. P. (Pati Taylor of Wadesboro. In the first open political dis pute of the 1948 campaign, Hodges sent out apress release accusing Taylor of saying Hodges had agreed not to run. Hodges, a former state senator and once a unsuccessful candidate for lieutenant-governor, said his plans were not determined. He said th “advice of his friends,” and not his personal de cision, would detremine if he would run. Hodges’ statement included what he said was a copy of a letter from Taylor to Rep. Monroe M. Reddn of North Carolina, m which Taylor told of his candidacy and hoped that it had Redden’s “sym pathetic approval.” The letter said Hodges had assured Taylor he would not run. Hodges also included copies of letters he said he sent to Taylor reminding him that the Asheville attorney in telephone conversa tions said he was “in the hands of my friends.’’ He also displayed a reply from Taylor saying he had announced for the race only after “rarher def inite assurances” from Hodges, State Sens. Joe Blythe fo Charlotte and Gordon Gray of Winston Salem and State Rep R. L. Har ris of Person county that they would not run for lieutenant-gov ernor. Taylor said he had planned to go to Asheville this week to a con vention of county commissioners, but as long as Hodges was on the fence he would stay out of his bal iwick. “Brandon, I very much regret "having made any reference t-o any of our mutual friends about having contacted you . . Taylor write. Hodges told Taylor, “I have ac quired many friends who seeming ly place a flattering appraisal on me ... I am in the hands of my friends, whose disd-om, judgement and sincerity of purpose I respect and accede to.” Meanwhile, state treasurer Charles M, Johnson in a speech to the State Associatio nof Co'mty Commissioners called for stronget local self-government and federal aid for schools. Johnson reminded the commis sioners that local legislation floods each session of the general as sembly. “With respect to purely local af fairs, the county should be sov erign,” Johnson, a candidate for governor said. He said the state should control county borrowing, sale of land for taxes, and penalties and discounts for taxes. “Apparently the only real and lasting solution,’’ Joohnson said, is a constitutional amendment de signed to relieve the legislature of the job of passing on local meas ures. The state treasurer said the 1947 appropriation of $64,000,000 for public schools was the least amount the schools required, yet was larger than the entire 1940 general fund revenue. He said North Carolina's 1ax receipts were sensitive to bus iness changes, and that only fed eral aid would support the schools properly “when our revenue be gins to turn the other way.” NO GAS PRICE HIKES REPORTED No advance in gasoline prices had been reported in Wilmington late Jast night, according to a newspaper survey, despite earlier rumors that such boosts were ex pected “momentarily.” Attaches at MacMillan and Cam eron, distributors for A j o c o products in this immediate area, said they had not heard of any increases. Present prices of 23 cents a gal lon continued to prevail. Officials of both the Shell Oil company and Standard Oil company discounted rumors that boosts were in the offing.
