Scheduled to Be Made
* During February
Dor. W. T. Thompson will be the
speaker for the “Presbyterian Hour’’

Dir. Thompson is a senior member

Thompson is considered one of the out
standing teachers and preachers of the
Southern Presbyterian Church. After i
graduating from Davidson College and
Union Theological Seminary, he held
pastorates at Lexington, N. C., Knox
ville, Tenn., and Mobile, Ala. During
the First World War he was director
of Army YMJCA in two large Camps in
this country. As a director of a boys’
camp for twenty summers, as a mem
ber of the National Preaching Mission,
as a priblic lecturer before numerous
educational groups, and as a preacher
in constant demand throughout the
country, Dr. Thompson has steadily
extended his teaching ministry.
Legislative Summary
(Continued from Page One)
the contract expiration date was ex
tended to January 25. On the after
noon of the 24th the subcommittee
worked out a solution. With the At
torney General’s approval, it was de
cided to transfer sufficient funds from
a warehouse project to the annex and
consider the warehouse along with the
other 1949 items. On January 25 the
contradt was let. On the other hand,
uncertainty marked the investigation
into construction of the State Fair
coliseum under 1949 appropriations.
While some farm leaders underscored
the need for value of the building in
a public hearing on Tuesday, rumors
from Washington led to a belief that
the construction now proceeding would
come under the National Production
Agency’s ban on the use of steel for
non-essential purposes. Despite ef
forts to secure an opinion from NRA
no official approval had been receiv
ed by Friday, nor had the legislature’s
committee made its report. The prob
ability of both federal and legislative
endorsement increases each day con.
crete is poured and materials are pur
chased.

{jails would be allayed by SB 96 re
quiring an attendant on duty to in
spect all cells at reasonable intervals,
f The saane bill would pervent women
prisoners from being confined more
than 24 hours unless the jail has a
matron. SB 97 would allow temporary
confinement of the mentally disordered
* in hospitals and othdr suitable places
as well as in county jails. Other bills
would raise the age to which parents
must support illegitimate Children
from 14 to 18 years (SB 94), would
s require judges in divorce cases to
’ award the custody of children before
' signing the divorce decree (‘SB 95),
and would make wi'Wlful neglect as well
as abandonment of wife or children a
1 misdemeanor (SB 154).
Governmental Reorganization
The General Asselmbly now has a
bill (iSB 110) calling for submission
■ of a constitutional amendment to re
quire realignment of executive agen-
I cies so that by 1954 only 12 depart
ments could exist under the law ex
clusive of those headed by elective of
ficials and temporary commissions
| created for special purposes. If adopf
' ed by the people the amendment would
also place all personnel of the execu
tive branch bellow department heads
1 under a merit system.
Election Laws
On recommendation of the State
1 Board of Election bills were introduced
in the Senate this week to remove all
limits on the expenditure of funds in
campaigns for election, ,to abolish use
of the absentee ballot in general elec
tions by civilians, and to require cam
paign litetaiture to bear the name of
the author and printer.
• Criminal Procedure
Implementing a constitutional
I amendment approved last November,
HB 112 permits indictments to be
waived in non-capital criminal cases
provided written consent of both de
fendant and his counsel is filed. HB
120 is designed to prevent a person
from being prosecuted on the basis
of evidence taken from him in the
course of an illegal search without a
i warrant. HR 115 proposes a com
mission to study the advisability of
setting uniform cost bill's in traffic
cases in courts below the superior
court.
Labor Legislation
i The House Committee on Manufac
, turing and Labor has announced that
i a public hearing will be held on HB
• 93, aimed at repealing the anti-dosed
shop law, on, February 6, and on HB
I 108, establishing a minimum wage of
i 75c an hour for workers in intrastate
■ business, on February 13.
