Fund Diversion Issue Involved In Current Controversy Over Bud Rouds Raleigh. Feb. 12. — (AIM — Chairman A. II. Graham of the State Highway and Public Works Commission reported to day the State had received some new highway equipment, in cluding four rollers ordered in 1941. He characterized the new equipment as a "mere trickle" when compared with the high department's great need for road machinery. By LYNN NISBET. Daily Dispatch Bureau Raleigh, Feb. 12.—Attention cen tered on improvement of rural roads is bringing .to the front again the "lit question of whether or not gasoline tax money should he al ii wed to be diverted from road work to general fund purposes. Although it is clear to all persons having any familiarity with pres ent conditions that money is one ol the most plentiful items in the highway program, there is tear tha such a situation might not cirtinue and advocates of better farm roads are looking to the future as much as at present mudholes. The diversion item came to the tront with a bang when copies of some newspapers showed up '■ al lying a story from Charlotte to the effect that the Mecklenburg Rural Road Improvement Association had adopted ro-oiutii ns asking for re peal of the act permitting transfer of tun tv five million dollars a 1 year from highway to general lands. That of course was a misprint, the estimated amount being two and a I half millions. Actually, there has never been i serious raids on highway money for general fund purposes. During the | depress ai years o! the hhringhaus ; administration there was a total of lour milli't dollars—one million a year—transferred between 1933 and 1937. Opponents of any# diversion objected mi re seriously to specific amounts, so the 1937 general assem bly inaeted a • ontingent diversion clause providing that in ease of de ficit in the general ii*'d an amount approximating what the three per cent sales tax on gasoline might yield if applied might be trans ferred to the general fund* It was estimated that in a normal year that would amount to two and a halt million dollars-. Since then, however, there has been no deficit ■ the general fund and not one dime has been transferred under authority of the act. It is about as certain as any thing can be that <-o money will be diverted from highway funds this Ij. .,] vear. because the general land js" situ running ahead of specific commitments against it. Road money is not so secure t\ r next year and thereafter for a number of reasons. First of all there is the complex ity arising out of a multiplicity of contingi* t appropriations. Highway Kinds may not be transferred un less there is a deficit in the general fund. The last assembly voted MO.00 per month extra pay for every state employee drawing up h S4.500 a year i: there should be enough money after specific appro priations are taken care of. Then extra pay was voted to judges and soli itors if there was enough after paying the teachers n'd other state employees. On top ot that halt a million dollars was vi ted to aid in digent hospital patients this also con ditioned upon teachers and other employees getting their extra money first. Revenue collections so far assure that all these contingent appropria tions can be met durVg the year ending June 30, ISUfi. l^ut there are some estimates which cast doubt up on the state's ability to meet them for the second year of biennium ending June 30, 1947. Because they fear that ■ laimants for these sums might set up the contention that the budget bureau is required to draw on the highway fund to meet them if the general fu d is exhaust ed. opponents of diversion espe cially desire the transfer provision repealed by the 1947 legislature. Will President Run In 1948? Hannegan Denies Sun Report No Truth In News Report He Will Not Washing, Fch. 12. -(AP) — 1). m raiic Cliaii man R 1 lai nc.aan said today lhern i “no truth' in a report that Presidint Harry Truman told a jrroup of advisors he will not hi a candidate for the Presidency in 1!> IS. Hannegan issued a formal state ment from the Democratic National Committe headquarters. It said: "There is no truth in the re port that President Truman told a group of White House ad visors that h? would not he a candidate for the presidency in 1918. "The President lias been so busy with foreign and domestic problem: of overshadowing importance that lie has had no time fo consider the 3 918 elections. I do not know the origin of the story appearing in thi newspapers today. To my knowl edge. no such meeting as was des cribed was ever held/' Charles Ross. White House press secretary, replied "no comment" when asked about the report. The story to which Haunegan re ferred was a Washington dispatch to The Chicago Sun. It told of a reported incident at the White House several weeks ago in which the President is reputed to have told in timates he did not want to run in 1948. But one Democratic lieutenant, who declined to be quoted by name, said lie and others regarded Air. Truman’s reported statement as on ly a reiteration of the view that the President has entertained since he succeeded to the office last April. U. S.
