Raleigh, Feb. 20 —In discussion of the transfer of the State Highway Ua trol from the Revenue Department and reorganization of the patrol, a companion bill setting up a new State law enforcement agency with wide and comprehensive powers and du ties has been somewhat overlooked. The bill, introduced by Con C. John ston, Iredell, and referred to his com mittee on roads, is entitled an act to establish a State bureau of identi fication and investigation, and many of its provisions do little more than consolidate existing record keeping agencies under one head; but in addi tion the new bureau is given sweep ing powers to act as police agency. First of all. the bill would create a bureau of identification and investi gation under supervision of the divi sion of public safety as part of the governor’s office.
