GOVERNOR’S STAND ON LIQUOR, SCHOOLS DISAPPOINTS SOME Inaugural Address General ly Draws Favorable Reac tion Other Than Those Phases VIEW ABOUT ROADS IS QUITE POPULAR School Forces, However, Had Hoped for More Sym pathetic Pronouncement Than They Got; Little Re action on Tobacco Com pacts Stand by Governor Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. By J. C. BASKERVILL Raleigh, Jan. B.—Reaction to the inaugural message of Governor Clyde R. Hoey is, for the most part, very favorable, according to comment heard following its delivery. Most ob servers agree that it was sufficiently definite in dealing with things which are popular and possible and suffi ciently indefinite on matters that are controversial and unpopular to leave both Governor Hoey and the General Assembly plenty of leeway in dealing with them. There is considerable disappoint ment among the liquor control forces because Governor Hoey reiterated his personal belief in prohibition and in the principle of a Statewide referen dum on the liquor question if any changes is made to liquor control and liquor stores. It is already generally agreed that those favoring the enact ment of some form of liquor control, and without a Statewide referendum, have a decided majority in both houses of the General Assembly over the bone drys, and that the chief strategy of the drys is going to be to insist upon a Statewide referendum. Thus the declaration by Governor Hoey in opposition to any repeal of (Continued on Page Five) ties.” M'y fundamental position on rail roads for the past four years has been that the coming era of prosperity may be the last opportunity to get rid of rail stocks. They have a high leverage factor and some may show sharp ad vances in the next few years. Even tually, however, a big portion of pre sent railroad mileage must be scrap ped. Labor, taxes and equipment re placement will skim what cream is left after the airlines steal the high paying and preferable traffic. That is why I favor aviation in the transpor tation field. There are three separate aspects of the aviation business, —(1) transport, (2) express, and (3) manufacturing. (Continued on Page Four.) HENDERSON, N. C., FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 8, 1937 U. S.

Daily Dispatch Bureau, By HENRY AVERILL. Raleigh, Jan. B.—The task of an already harassed legislature in deal ing with the perplexing liquor ques tion was made even more difficult to day by Governor Clyde R. Hoey’s in augural address expression of opinion that the law-makers should do noth ing about the matter until the people of the State have had an opportunity to vote upon it. Proponents of county control imme diately declared that the governor s views would not prevail, but admit ted that his expression of them would make their fight doubly difficult. Some, however, professed to see noth ing more than a “sop to the women, children and minister ” in the gov ernor’s words and pre ted he would not make an active Iv,-' for a State wide referendum. “But even if he does fight for a re ferendum, we will win in the end,” said Representative Thomas E. Coop er, author of the bill which exempted his county from the Turlington act and enabled it to set up county-con trolled liquor stores. Representative J. C. Hobbs, Coop er’s colleagues and co-worker for county control, said he was “surpris ed” at the governor’s stand, but also predicted it would have no decisive effect. “Governor Hoey’s position is not nearly as neutral as I had believed it would be,” said Mr. Hobbs. “From what I understand was his position in the primary last June, I did not think he would go nearly so far in support of a referendum as he did in his address yesterday afternoon.” Other control advocates pointed out that the drys, as exemplified by the governor, have now completely rever sed their position regarding a referen dum.
