In other words, local taxes for the

Raleigh, April 30.—(AP)— I The po.
litical outlook in North Carolina was
measurably clarified today with an
announcement b y Representative
Robert L. Doughton, that lie would
not be a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor in
next year’s primary.
In a brief formal statement at
Washington last night, the veteran
congressman put an end to specula
tion that has prevailed for months
and let it be known that he expected
to seek renomination to Congress for
a fourteenth teim.
Saying he had reached his decision
reluctantly and only after consulta
tion with the highest administration
leaders. Representative Doughton ex
plained:
“My position as chairman of the
ways and means committee makes it
necessary for me to consider other
duties rather than my own inclina
tion. ; :
“Farmer Bob’s" elimination of his
name served to heighten interest iu
political circles in the expected state
ment from Clyde R. Hoey, at Shelby,
who has been mentioned for months
as a likely candidate. The Shelby law
yer has indicated he will declare his
intention shortly after the legislature
adjourns.

that, until the atmosphere was clear
