The big money bills are expected to leave the Joint House and Senate committees on appropriations in about another week. Be sure to watch and listen for some real big news Items. The repeal of the "Speaker Ban Law" Is now being pushed by certain groups from various sections of N. C. and much outside pressure Is also being applied. A recent report that the law Is threatening the ac creditation of some of our State Supported Institutions, has fired a new spark among, the original opponents and has led others to feel that an amendment to the law Is necessary. Now, I say let the proof be shown. Gover nor Moore has several aides conducting a study on the mat ter and will probably make an early report. Dr. Iv Beverly Lake, who was a key figure in the election of Governor Moore, has publicly suied on manV occaslofts and as recently as l^st week, that he Is opposed to Repealing or amending the Speaker * Ban. A real fight is now shaping up and you should have, a ring-side seat for this one. i voted for the passage of the bill in 1963 and have de fended It since that time. 1 respect the views of others, however, at this time, can see no real reason for any change. HB 536?Auto safety Inspection: passed final hurdle in Senate 5-27 and will get Its' first test with the public 1966. About every Session of the ^General Assembly slnc^l955 has con sidered legislation to adopt some kind of an Inspection pro .ran. /lous attempts v i :e the old State Operas- . ectlon was abo lished in 1949 after two years of unpopular life. We will now have an opportunity to see how well the new Inspection program (not similar to the old one) will work and to get SOme fairly accurate data as to the number of accidents it will reduce as well as t)?e number of lives 1L will save. Proof of its' bene- ^ fits must be shown to future , Legislatures or a death blow will be deal,t to this one. I did not vote for the new inspection bill as evidence indicates to me it will be very hard to administ er fairly. Now, that it has passed, I shall give my coope ration to help see thai Its' purpose Is accomplished. Last week was a bill-killing week in Raleigh; Amopg those which had the deadly weapon applied were (SB 93) to m'o,ve forward the dates of primary elections; the. chiropractic bill (HB 510); HB 863 to more com plicate' the requirements of architectural service in pre paring building plans; (HB 757) billboard control; safe driver license renewal' (SB 148) and the proposal to make parole records prlvttejrwi (HB 811).
