Raleigh Round-Up Possibility Of Special Session To Discuss Segregation Is In Offing By KIDD BREWER CAN THEY AVOID IT? ... Well, just as .we all thought — those in favor of negro children and white children going to the same schools did not like the governor's address. Those who are opposed to mixing the races in educational pursuits thought the speech was wonderful. Be that as it may, there is a lot of bad feeling in this state. You won’t get them to admit it for publication, but some of the leading legislators of the 1955 gen eral assembly privately admit that •a special session of the legislature looms as a definite possibility. Only the governor can call a spe cial session of the legislature. He wants to avoid one if at all possible. Xn the first place, it would cost the taxpayers about $100,000. Governor Luther Hodges knows it is neces sary to save money for our educa tinal needs — not spend it. In the second place, a special session of the legislature could open wide the door for long-drawn-out discussions on a great list of controversial mat ters which, if left alone, might set tle themselves. The trouble is that the racial question, so quiet a year ago, is a swiftly gathering storm and must be met squarely much earlier than anyone imagined a short while back. Now school openings are only a iew weeks off; and serious trouble could spring up any day in North Carolina — where we have almost one million children going to school —most of them by bus. ACTIVE . . . Well, sir, you can say one thing for Luther H. Hodges. He is really getting around! His predecessor in of fice, William B. Umstead, became ill immediately after his inau guration and never knew a well •day from then until his death nearly two years later. Although lie liked to travel, he was una ble to do very much of it. Now our governor is zinging through the clouds, and over them, at better than 400 miles per hour. As some wags put it last week, we’ve really had some pret ty fast governors in our time, but none before that were jet-pro pelled. We admire his spunk. We liked the way he tore himself away from those politicking governors up in Chicago and literally threw Hie Hodges spirit and morale against Connie. Seemed to have an effect, too. But, Governor Hodges, take it easy a spell, please. Remember, we have no lieutenant governor, haven't had one since last Novem ber, and won’t have one for many a moon yet.

Eye brows were h’isted sharply around here last week when Chief Justice Barnhill of the State Supreme Court gave his colleague, Associate Jus tice Wallace Winborne, a public handslapping. The set-to began when one of the newspapers learned that Judge Winborne owns quite a chunk of stock in one of the more important textile companies in the state, is chairman of the board of directors, and draws better than $3,000 per year from the firm. One of the reporters asked Chief Justice Barnhill what he thought about it. The judge inferred that he didn’t think too much of it and left the strong impression that he felt that Justice Winborne should divorce himself from the company. The chief justice intimated, more over, that he himself certainly wouldn’t be in Justice Winborne’s position, etc. We have had no opportunity to talk with Justice Winborne, who is at his home in Marion this summer recovering from a recent operation in Asheville. But he is no doubt as shocked as others here were that Chief Justice Barnhill should pub licly criticize him in such a sharp manner. This again naturally brings up the question as to whether all is peace and light in the rarefied at mosphere of the State Supreme Court. Justices Barnhill and Win borne should be the closest of friends. In point of service, they are the oldest men on the bench, both taking office on July 1, 1937. SHOULD THEY? ... No shak ing of hands, apologies, etc., when the court gets down to work again in September will erase from the public’s inquiring mind these two questions: 1. Should a judge of the State Supreme Court ,which is called upon to render significant decis ions affecting the very life blood of individuals and corporations, be chairman of the board of a company doing business in thi9 state? 2. Should State Supreme Court Chief Justice Barnhill speak out for publication — as he did in Asheville a few weeks ago — on the matter of the U. S. Supreme Court’s decision on segregation —when a case growing out of the said decision will — sooner or later — come up for trial before, the State Supreme Court? We are not necessarily imply ing here that we differ with Jus tice Winborne or with Chief Jus tice Barnhill. We are merely pointing out that each has raised an interesting — and somewhat thought - provoking — question in the minds of the people.

JFG Coffoo Co. Knotvillo. TOO MUCH CREDIT? ... Are people buying too much stuff on credit? By the time folks get all the installments paid —$5 here and $12.50 there — we hardly have enough left to buy groceries. Raleigh Newsman Tom Walker, who now handles sharp publicity for the N. C. Dairy Products asso ciation, swore to State Editor Bill Sharpe a few days ago that he re cently ran into this little ring around-the-rosy: “While the crew was on the rooi putting up an aerial for the new TV set, repossessors were down stairs taking away the man’s elec tric refrigerator.” THOMASVILLE GAIN ... The state’s loss is Thomasville’s gain. This summer, Willis Hooper, able and efficient attorney, resigned his position with the legal depart ment of the state highway com mission to open up a private law office in Thomasville. With a background of training and experience, a splendid future is predicted for Willis. You see here how the state loses good men. When Willis was asked recent ly why he chose Thomasville, he had a practical answer: '’Thomas ville is the type of place I want my family to live in — and I be lieve it affords an opportunity for the practice of law.” DOING WELL . . . Last week I ran into a fellow from Bennetts ville, S. C. Well, Bennettsville is famous chiefly in my mind as the hometown of the late Cyclone Mack, the evangelist with the rip roaring mane and the black, pierc ing eyes. He held many meetings in Winston-Salem, Elkin, and all around 30 years ago. I’ve heard — used to hear—wild tales about Cyclone Mack — as we do about all famous people, but I had faith in him, thought he did a lot of good—a lot of it tem porary, but some of it permanent— so I was glad to find that Cyclone Mack’s widow is still living in quiet comfort in the old colonial home in Bennettsville. The son, Dr. Sol McLendon, is head psychiatrist at State hospital in Columbia; one daughter, Mrs. Ruth Nelson is an executive with the S. C. Employ ment Service; another daughter, Mrs. Bill Stalworth, is prominent in religious and social work in Ben nettsville; and a granddaughter of Cyclone Mack will be a junior at Salem college this fall. He who stands high in his own estimation is still a long way from the top.
