A comedy skit from a broadway. play, will display her talent. \ Legislative News by Representative James D Speed Tli' chief topic of -the past i week was ''Court Reform", The | I bill which has been considered the most important legislation * of the 19G5 Session and perhaps of many past' sessions ?s en acted into law after passing both the House and Senate with out being amended by either. Efforts to amend several very important parts of \the bill failed in both'branches and has. l??ft sorni1 disagreement ifriong various lawyers and jurist\ .is to the actual improvement W pew system will provide. YTmr representative is among those who expressed a disappointment j over several provisions of the bill, and especially Over the i .method of selecting the^'Court { Prosecutors." The bill as 1 passed will empower the resi dent Superior Court Judges to j make .the select tons for their ! re?pectiv? districts Amend- h ments were offered in the House and bei.ate to provide that the prosecutors be elected byjthe people of each district. I spoke in favor - of the amendment on the House fjoor and expressed strong approval of. miking the post elective- instead of an appointive one. This was in no way a reflection on any Superior Court Judge, but only a desire to leave more voice of our affairs to thfe people. Th?* amendments failed?*and after opposing the bill on its second reading and seeing that there was no chance to make any changes, I voted f<y the bill on Its final reading. The new "Court Reform" pro gram will be set up in certain districts next year and will be completed by January 1, 1971. ; It is sound baslcallyi'however, I predict that future legislatures will make some major changes in the present law. H. B. 623- -Introduced by Harris and' others: Will over haul the State personnel laws, abolish the Merit and Personnel Councils and create a new State Personnel Board. The new board would Include two mem bers,, selected by the N. C. As sociation of County Commiss ioners which should be of tre mendous value to the Interest of all counties of the State. County ?mpidyees ffi Agencies receiv ing Federal and State funds are a part of the sy stem. bill I has the endorsement of the Stfcta Personnel .Council chairman, Sen. Fred R oyster; The Merit System Council* and the N. O. Association of County Com missioners r This Is a good bill 4nd will have my support. The Madison County Squabble: One of the bitterest legislative fights of recent years over loeal * legislation has developed over a bill to s??t up a jury commiss ion in Madison County. The bill introduced by Sen. Clyde Norton V of that senatorial district first passed the Senate without any difficulty, was sent to the House and was assigned to my commit tee on Local Government, There the fireworks began ex ploding and after a month of public hearings; all types of 1 schemes to kill the bill, ? including sending it to a sub committee; heavy lobbying and proposing certain amendments which, in effect, would have killed the bill's main objectives, a final, vote was forced at a meeting of the committee last Thursday. Tension was at a high pitch and the votes were close but as chairmafi of the committee, I broke the tie twice and saved the blH from its death bed position. The bill was carried to the House floor Monday night with a favorable report but another fight is ex pected. The fight developed frpm .a scramble for power by the Zeno Ponder forces and the. anti- Ponder forces. H. B. 556 ? Introduced by Greenwood and others "To make appropriations to the teachers apd State employees' Retirement System so as to provide certain minimum bene fits^ will provide for payments See SPEED page 5 Louisburg PTA To Meet The Louisburg PTA will meet Thursday night at 7:30 In the high school auditorium, accord ing to an announcement by Mrs. Vernon Stone.
