ibligation to build and maintain
roads, but did not relieve them of
bonded debts for roads and bridges j
already built. Increasing demands
(or better public schools were im-1
rasing tax burdens upon the people
>t county level, and there was wide
disparity in school facilities pro- \
videc) in different counties. At state
level North Carolina was appro
aching default on bond debt pay- I
ments. A desperate condition called
for courageous action.
LEGISLATION The 'need pro
duced the men to meet it. Governor
Ehringhaus reluctantly accepted
necessity for a sales tax. The late 1
A. D. McLean, who ha<j moved over,
from the house in 1931 to the sen
ate In 1933 and headed the educa- J
tion committee, led the fight for
public schools. Grady Rankin, then
I and now (though not continuously
since! senator from Gaston county,
was chairman of the senate finance
committee and lent tremendous aid .
in putting through ' the necessary
bills. But it was recognized then!
and now that the cenius, the per- |
sonality and the diligence of Rufus j
A. Doughton. chairman of the house ,
finance committee was mainly re-1
sponsible for the 1933 revenue a?t.!
! It required days and long nights of
j toil, but out of one of the longest r
! legislative sessions in state history i
j came a revenue policy that has not j
been materially changed since. It i
was re-enacted in 1935 and 1937 1
and in 1939 was made “permanent” I
and successive amendments since
, have not affected its basic pro
visions.
OUTSIDERS Throughout the
Ehringhaus administration an(J that
of Governor Clyde Hoey which
followed, this taxing bill produced
enough revenue to reasonably meet
the expanding needs of the state,
as it was designed to do. That
reasonable balance between income
and outgo probably would have
continued, but for the impact of
unforeseeable outside influences.
First of these outside interferences
was the rise of Hitler and Musso
lini, causing the second world war
and putting a ban on civilian spend
ing, while producing inflationary
yields of state revenue. That con
dition prevailed throughout the ad- 1
ministrations of Governors Brough
ton and Cherry, and resulted in
huge unexpended cash reserves by l
1948.
SCOTT That year Kerr Scott' :
was nominated and elected governor
on a platform calling for using the i
cash surplus to alleviate the de- 1
ficit in servies. Despite charges and i
counter-charges of non-cbopera- j
tion, the General Assembly! went ,
along with his ideas 1 appropriated;,
for Immediate use all the accumu-j,
lated reserves and authorized elec-''
tion* for borrowing a quarter bQllon
dollars more. The people approved j
the borrowing—and some conser
vative citizens got concerned about j
too much spending. They feared the ]
state budget would be as much out ]
of balance on the debit side at end
of the Scott regime as it was on the ]
credit side when he began his i
campaign.
1
STALIN That might have i
happened but for the impact of 1
Other outside influences. Josef
Stalin began acting up to start <
what many people even now regard 1
as the third world war of this gen- 1
eration. That brought more na- :
tlonal government spending, more 1
inflationary income for North Caro- i
linains and more money into the (
state treasury from the long stand- t
'ng Income and sales tax levies. The <
slump in state revenue that occurred i
soon after adjournment of the 1949
assembly did not last long. Out
break of the “incident” in Korea t
occasioned a faster and greater .1
lump than did the attack on Pearl t
Harbor. Governors Broughton and \
Cherny had justi fable pride in the , j
surpluses they left in the treasury, (
■dong with understandable regret' J
their administrations could not ren- j a
der all the service* desired. Gov-1 i

emor Saott is fully justified in
boasting of the fact that he put
the idle money he found in the trea
sury to work, and that the newly
borrowed money served its intended
purpose of advancing the state. He
can also boast, as did Broughton
and Cherry, that his administration
did not bankrupt the state or de
plete its treasury.

Morris promptly appealed to
Chairman Clyde R. Hoey D-NC
to give him a chance to reply to
McCarthy before he was forced to
answer any more direct questions
by the grim-looking Wisconsin Re
publican. *.
“My patriotism is at atake,”
Morris said. , ' r t
tioey ruled that h* ; liad a right
to respond to .McCarthy with a
brief statement.*
START SHOUTING
Morris began slugging back
verbally at McCarthy and a shout
ing match was on.
Things got so out of hand that
Sen. John L. McClellan D-Ark 1
demanded, “let’s see if we can find
some way to conduct this hearing
with some decorum.” .
Sen. Karl E. Mundt R-SD said,
“Mr. Chairman, things are getting
pretty badly out of hand.”
Hoey, gentle and judicial, re
stored order and the questioning 1
went on. Before it: did, McClellan
told Morris that “you’ve brought a
lot of this on yourself.” McClellan
accused Morris of “not giving di
rect answer”,in his testimony yes
terday and of not having the pro
per attitude.
The outbreak came shortly after
Morris took the witness stand for
I the second day \ for questioning
* about surplus tanker deals in
which his New Yofk law firm rep
resented two Chinese-backed out
fits.
At one point, after McCarthy had
asked him an involved question,
ambitions for world dominance
occasioned the inflationary proces
ses that made more tax dollars
i available.
Hungry Burglar
Stocks Up Meat
A hungry burglar broke into
the meat house of John C. Ray
nor on Route 1 Dunn some time
during the night and stole two
20 pound hams, two shoulders
weighing between 20 and 25
pounds and two 15 pound slabs
of side meat.
The meat had been sugar cured
at the Colonial Froien Foods
Lockers and Raynor had placed
it jn the meat house for lelaure
ly ‘ oeqsuaaption. He reported his
lias to (he Dean Police Depart
ment at 0 o’clock this morning
and officers are Investigating.
LUBOCK, TEX. (IP)—Sen.
Robert A. Taft confessed to
day he was a “little disap
pointed” by running second
best in the New Hampshire
primary.
“We thought we’d do bet
ter than that,” Taft said in
his plane while flying high
over a howling West Texas
'dust storm. “Os course, I
wasn’t too confident.” Taft
said he had expected to win
four delegates. .■
Morris retorted.
“LIKE A DOG”
“Why don’t you ask questions
like a gentleman?”
He appealed to Hoey, “He’s go
ing after me like a dog.”
“I don’t think that’s quite so,"
McClellan tried to cut in.
Morris said that normally “you
would go to the State Department”
for policy guidance in such things.
“I wouldn’t go to the State De
partment,” McCarthy snapped.
“No, you wouldn’t gb to any de
partment—you’d Just sound off,”
Morris retored.
When Morris accused McCarthy
wnen morris uoouseu awouuo
of having “knocked off a lot of
characters,” McCarthy replied:
“I haven’t knocked off any that
didn’t need to be knocked off.”
“Oh yes, you have,” Morris
shouted.
McCarthy said he wanted to find
out if Morris was the “active”
president of China International
Foundation, which indirectly con
trolled the ships or only a “dum
my DENIES BEING DUMMY
“I’ve never been » dummy in
my lifer, Morris snapped. But he
J admitted that tlje foundation ulti-
I mately got profits from the Soviet
to the: shouting match j
Republican members had been
critical of Morris from the outset.
Before the hearing, they told re
porter* he would have to cut out
his “horseplay” and “shenanigans"
and take the hearing more seri
ously.
"You don’t think you’re as good
a man thlp morning as you thought
you were yesterday," Mundt taunt
