THE CHOWAN HERALD
Transfer Os Highway Patrol Produces Lengthy Debate In General Assembly
By MILDRED HUSKINS
RALEIGH The calendars
of the 1973 General Assembly
grew longer as the leadership
hastened toward adjournment.
There.were laughing sessions
and crying sessions. We have
told you from time to time about
certain bills being laughed
through the House but Friday
there was a lengthy crying
session.
It all came about when the
membership began debate on a
bill introduced by Rep. Billy
Watkins, D-Granville, which
would transfer the highway
patrol from the Department of
Transporation to a Public
Safely Commission. The
commission would be named by
the leaders in the two houses of
the General Assembly and by
the Governor. Now this brought
the back row (Republicans) up
to aman to shout the
Democratic majority was
trying again, to strip the
Republican governor of his
appointive power.
During the lengthy debate all
votes were along party lines
with the Democrats charging
that the reason for the
legislation was the Republican
chairman’s letter to county
chairmen early in the new
administration advising them
they should be patience for
there would be jobs for
everyone as soon as the General
Assembly went home. This
letter fell into the hands of the
Democratic leadership and
caused concern in the highway
patrol.
Republican members of the
House charged “foul” and
threatened Democratic
members with “the people”
back home.
As the amendments moved up
from the back row they were
voted down or laid on the table
by the Democratic majority
and. before the bill was finally
passed, name-calling was about
to enter the debate. Tempers
flared and Rep. Jo Graham
Foster. D-Mecklenburg. arose
on a point of personal privilege
to tell her colleagues that she
resented being “sermonized,
demoralized and threatened in
this House,'' concluding that
she would vote as she pleased.
Rep. Dan Lilley, D-Lenoir, also
arose to place in the record his
resentment at being called
unpaUriptic and with not voting
in the best interest of the people
of North Carolina.
Earlier in that same weekend
session, Rep. Jeter Haynes, R-
Yadkin, had asked to explain
his vote on a measure which
would require vacancies in
certain elective offices to be
filled by a person of the same
party. After debate had been
cut off and a roll call is
requested and sustained, a
member often can express his
feelings by explaining his vote.
When the reading clerk reaches
his name the roll call is halted
and the number has 60 seconds
to tell why he is voting the way
he is.
The Gentleman from Yadkin
said he opposed the measure
because an Independent would
never get a chance to hold
office. He got so carried away
he sat down without voting
Speaker Jim Ramsey, in
announcing the vote, said, “The
Gentleman from Yadkin votes
Independent.” This brought
Rep. Haynes to his feet
shouting, “I vote NO.”
Rep. R. C. Soles, Jr., D-
Columbus, was having a lot of
trouble with his little bill about
proof of loss on fire insurance i
policies during the Tuesday
session. Rep. William M.
Fulton, R-Burke, invariably
arises to ask all sorts of
questions about most any bill
before the House. He had asked
a series of questions of Rep.
Soles and charged that the
introducer was not answering
his question.
“Does the Gentleman from
Burke wish to ask another
question,” said the Speaker.
“Ive tried to get an answer,
Mr. Speaker. Yes, I’d like to ask
another,” said the Burke
representative. He asked and
Rep. Soles said, ‘Tve tried to
answer your question, Mr.
Fulton.” This went on and on
and the answers didn’t please
Rep. Fulton and, in disgust, he
sank into his seat saying, “I
resign." This brought applause
from his colleagues.
At one point in the exhange
Speaker Ramsey, in
recognizing Rep. Fulton said,
“The Gentleman from Fulton,
Mr. Burke, is recognized."
O
During the past week the
calendars have been long and it
is nearly impossible for the
members to study each bill
coming before them. Rep.
David Blackwell, D-
Rockingham, was trying
Tuesday to get through to Rep.
Howard Twiggs, D-Wake, on a
bill to amend the law regarding
commitment facilities for the
mentally ill. The youthful
representative from
Rockingham said, “Mr.
Speaker, when I get to page two.
I get a headache; when I get to
page four, my eyes cross.. . 1
can’t understand this bill. Now,
1 understand this one section, so
I’ll send up an amendment.”
“The Gentlemen may send up
his amendment,” The Speaker
said. Then Rep. Twiggs rose to
say, "I don’t object to an
amendment that will strengthen
a healthy bill.”
Members often preface their
remarks by saying they don’t
a certain bill. Rep.
Herbert Hyde, D-Buncombe,

arose to speak on a bill and said,
‘Tm speaking out of ignorance,
but that has never stopped me
before . . . The Gentleman
from Buncombe is the Senator
Ervin of the House since he is a
constitutional authority. Rep.
Clyde Xuman, D-Moore,
explaining his bill to increase
the governor’s salary, said,
“Justice Herbert Hyde said it is
constitutional. Justice Larry
Cobb said it is constitutional, so
I guess it is.”
Rep. Auman, a veteran
Democrat, continued that some
of his friends had asked him if
he anticipated changing his
registration or planned to run
for governor. He had replied
that if he had a choice, he would
just run for governor at the new
salary.
Speaking on the salary
measure, Rep. James F. Mohn
Sr., D-Onslow, who is self
appointed salary controller for
the state, asked Rep. Carl
Stewart, D-Gaston, chairman oi
the Appropriations Committee,
“Do you know anyone in state

quipped, “You and I.”
Wednesday’s session had
been continually in action since
10 A.M. and the members were
getting pretty weary. Rep.
Hyde was holding a resolution
and was to explain it. Someone
complined he didn’t have the
resolution in hi* book and the
Gentleman from Buncombe
agreed to read it.
“Is it a short rasolution?”
Speaker Ramsey asked and was
told it was three pages. “The
chair rules it is a short
resolution and the gentleman
may proceed.”
Later the Speaker was trying
to count those members
standing during a division call.
He complained that the
members “are not standing tall
enough for me to count, You’re
stooping.”
Another indication of the
latness of the hour and the
condition of the bodies was
when someone asked Rep.
Herschel Harkins, D-
Buncombe, if he would yield for
a question, and he replied,
“Just barely.”
It was announced Monday

Charlie Phillips, had been given
a honorary degree, doctor of
language, from A & T State
University and Rep. Henry
Frye, D-Guilford, introduced
him as Dr. Phillips. Rep. John
R. Gamble, Jr. D-Lincoln, the
only medical doctor in the
General As sen* bly,
immediately offered him
membership in the American
Medical Association but" Dr.
Phillips declined. h I don’t do
that kind of doctoring," he said.
Then the House adjourned in
honor of Zeb Vance, on motion
of Rep. Hyde.
It was a week of uncertainty.
No one seemed to know if the
General Assembly would just
halt operations and go home
until January. It was a sure
thing, it would not finish the
work. By Wednesday,, it
appeared there would be a
Saturday session and then
adjournment. Then Thursday it
was decided by the leadership
the membership needed a
weekend of rest and the staff
needed to catch up on the paper
work so plans were made for
return this week.
Another week of uncertainty
awaits us. This one should be
the last until 1974. V
