Paul Leonard mailed out letters over tha state f rom his headquarters here promising, to "fight for reduction in public debt.” He said the bond issues are “neither advisable nor neeessary " “We believe the dangers of mihlic indebtedness should be publicized during the coming weeks when the *14,250,090 authorized bonds are to be sold and the pressure applied to get voters to authorize another *72.000,000,” he said. The 1953 General Assembly, at the request of Gov. William B. Umstead. authorized the sale of $14,250,000 In bonds for permanent improvements and voted to put the question of *50,000 in bonds for pdblic schools and *22,000,000 for mental hospital improvements up to the voters. UMSTEAD IN FAVOR Umstead has called the bond issues “vitally essential to the wel fare of North Carolina.” But the governor said he expected opposi tion to them. The N. C. Fair Tax Association’s stand] appeared the first organized opDodtion to the bond issue. The statement said it to “neither advisable nor neccsUft? to add nearly *100,000,030 to our bonded, debt on the state level at this time when future economic conditions which will affect the debt-paying ability of all of us are admittedly very uncertain.” Leonard said the state already has a bonded indebtedness of about *208,000,000 and local units of gov ernment in the state have an in debtedness “well above” *325,000,- 000. The association said it objected to linking the school bonds and the mental hospital bonds proposals together. ■ ‘‘We think the hospitals deserved preference in allocation of avail- I able funds,” Leonard sitid^ - pended on payment of *25 and costs on a charge of driving with : out license. He was ordered to se cure a license before driving again. In two cases against John Henry 1 Hayes, charging embezzlement of , *2B and of stealing a radio valued . at *25, Judge Strickland took a nol pros, and on the erfibez2?ement 1 charge found no p.obable cause. ! Waymon McDougald was senten i cod to 30 days in jail, suspended ! on payment of *25 and cost on a charge of driving without an oper ■ ators license.
