SOCIAL SECURITY
ACT PASSES
SPECIAL SESSION OF THE
NORTH CAROLINA GEN
*"* ERAL ASSEMBLY COM
PLETES ITS TASK AND RE
TURNS HOME TO GET
BEADY FOR THE REGULAR
SESSION IN TWO WEEKS
SPARGER AND SCOTT RE
TURN HOME.
Senator Gilmer Sparger and
Representative Ralph Scott are
returning to their respective
homes here today.
They have been in Raleigh for
a week helping to pass the
North Carolina social security
act, in response to a call from
Gov. Ehringhaus for a special
session of the general assembly
to enact this important legislation.
The social security whicn
embraces unemployment and old
age insurance, and benefits to
cripplecf and blind children, etc.,
was passed by the legislature al
most without a dissenting vote,
though there were a few pro
teats. It was necessary that the
law be enacted before the dead
line of Dec. 31, 1936, otherwise
the State could not share in
the benefits provided by the
federal law.
The regular session of Ihe
general assembly will meet
shortly after Jan. 1, 1937. Sena
tor Sparger and Representative
Scott are making preparations to
return to Raleigh at that time.
Raleigh, Dec. 15. North
Carolina's senate voted 47 to 0
for the unemployment insurance
bill today and tomorrow the as
sembly is due to adjourn at mid
day.
The senate sent over a resolu
tion asking the house to ad
journ at noon and Representative
Walter Murphy, of Rowan, who
was presiding, left the chair to
oppose the instructions. He
didn't like to rubber stamp the
senate orders. And he did not
wish to hurry. He thought
Thursday would be more satis
factory. Mr. Ward, of Craven,
disapproved Mr. Murphy's amend
ment and moved to table it.
Amendment Tabled.
By 36 to 35 it was so ordered.
But Mr. Ward's troubles had not
begun. He and Mi'. Jones, of
Transylvania, tried to get good
hours tomorrow. Finally Mr.
Ward moved to table his amend
ment and that would have tied
the house up. It reconsidered
then and returned to noon of
Wednesday. The senate meets at
11 a. m. and puts the bill on
third reading.
The senate was slow to pass
the Murphy bill designed to pro
tect university and State college
loans by pushing up a date six
months. But Anally this was
done. Senator Noell was unwill
ing to change the original pur-
t poses of the assembly to stick to
