THURSDAY, FEBRUARY U. HS5 PAGE FOU THE DAILY TAR HEEL Two N. C, One S. C. NEWS FROM THE CAPITAL: Mi p irk RALEIGH, Feb. 16. Ufr Price fixing powers for the State Milk Commission and reassignment of Jlouse seats in- line with the 1950 census, both touchy issues, today were headed for the Senate floor. The milk pricing bill, unani mously approved by the Senate Agriculture Committee after a public hearing, was reported to the Senate floor and likely will come up for debate tomorrow. ; Both support and opposition were voiced at the hearing before the Senate and House Agriculture Committee. The measure, intro duced by Sen. Ralph Scott of Ala mance, would give the milk com mission power to set minimum wholesale and retail milk prices ! Meeting after today's session, the Senate Committee on Election Laws and Senatorial Districts gave a "without prejudice" report to the House reapportionment bill. It is not expected to come before the full Senate until after, tomorrow. By the "without prejudice" re port, the committee took no stand for or against the measure. It would increase the House mem bership of Alamance and Rocking- ham Counties from one to two representatives each and cut Cabarrus and Pitt' Counties from two to one each. WARRANT BILL Other legislative highlights to day included final action on a bill ! to give officers authority to arrest HJI weirs, noose HAVE YOU READ IT? IN THIS THE MARIAN YEAR 31 Poms by H. A.

The bill, already approved by both Senate and Houe, was en acted into law when the Senate agreed to a House amendment. It would clear confusion- on sit uations where officers have au thority to make arrests without warrants. Such arrests would be legal where the offense was com mitted in the officer's presence or he had "reasonable ground" to believe it was committed in his presence. BETTER JOB Action by committees included a recommendation from the House Roads Committee that the State Highway Commission do a better job of marking danger spots on secondary roads. The group also killed a measure to repeal inspec tions required for "used cars brought into the state. Opponents said repealing the law would make North Carolina a dumping ground, for jalopies from other states. Resolutions from the Legislature to Congress got attention from House members who were told too many of the resolutions are going through the legislative mill. The House passed a resolution calling on Congress and the Pres ident to refrain' from adopting tariff policies which might hurt domestic textile interests. The House Conservation and Develop ment Committee approved another asking Congress to give schools and health departments priority in acquiring war surplus stocks. House Speaker Larry- I. Moore suggested that legislators write letters to their congressmen rath er than introduce resolutions. Rep. H. Cloyd Philpott of Da vidson said the General Assembly Correction HATS Values to $8.50 Reduced To $4.99 Milton's "can better address itself to prob lems before it" instead of sending petitions to Congress. t ESCAPE BILL New legislation included a bill to provide tougher penalties for prisoners who escape or those who aid in prison escapes. Introduced by Rep. Thomas Turner of Guil ford and others, it would make Escape or aiding in escape a mis demeanor. 4 Chariman W. W. Fitzpatrick of the milk commission promised the Senate Agriculture Committee the price fixing powers will be used "reluctantly and only when neces sary for the good of the industry and the state as a whole." Fitzpatrick said use of the pric ing authority would be permissive rather than mandatory.. Prices might be fixed in one section of the state without affecting other areas, he explained. He said au thority to fix prices is necessary to enforce fair trade practices for the milk industry. Opposition came from J. F. Fowlers, representing the Farm ers'" Cooperative Dairy of Meck lenburg County. He said the bill would deprive consumers of the advantage of lower milk prices. Sen. Scott said the bill would help stabilize the milk industry by "preventing chaotic price wars." The act creating the Milk Com mission was passed by the 1953 General Assembly only after price fixing powers were stricken from it. The pricing feature sparked heated debate in the last legisla ture. Although the State Constitution says that legislative membership shall be reapportioned after each census in line with population changes, both the 1951 and 1953 Legislatures turned down reap portionment bills, j The House Reapportionment ; measure considered by the Senate I Committee today is expected to run into rough debate when it reaches the floor, j A special committee of senators 1 is studying the problem of sena torial reapportionment under a resolution approved earlier this session. 1 mY BIG BEN SALE LADY MILTON SHOP First we whispered, now we're shouting The most exciting reductions you'll ever find on everything we carry we've really low ered the boom Entire stock luisa spagrtolis Italian sweaters re duced from 18.95 to 10.99; 14.99 to 8.99, etc. Bernadale 100 cashmeres reduced from 16.95 to 10.99 and 18.95 to 12.99 Bernhard altmann imported from austria cash meres reduced from 22.95 to 14.99; 25.95 to 14.99; 27.95 to 17.99; 29.95 to 19.99; 23.95 to 14.99; 24.95 to 15.99 Our full fashioned Shetland sweaters reduced from 10.95 to 7.99 and 11.95 to 8.99 Entire stock haymaker skirts reduced 50; all the rest of our skirts including Evan-Picon, Bernhard Altmann, Florence Walsh, sub stantially reduced All year round wool dresses . by Arkay and Nantucket naturals 40 off Entire stock haymaker shirts reduced to below cost Many styles in our Lady Hathaway shirts now on sale y V All ceramic jewelry $1.00 off Entire stock suits 'including Davidow drastically cut Entire stock Piper Cub blazers cut from 25.00 to 17.99 Haymaker shirt dresses cut from 18.95 to 11.99 and 25.00 to 15.99 10.00 imported lambswool sweaters cut to 3.99 Greta Plattry springwear reduced 40 All wool Bermuda shorts $4.00 off Many other remarkable values All sales cash alterations extra lotf)ing Cupboarb I a I f Reassignmeni it it u D Towns Win In Contest it Textile (Continued from Page 1) The theory of trade reciprocity, he said, just hasn't worked, add ing: "The U.

It is cheap for one reason only because it is made with cheap labor." Hallett, .who is vice president and general manager of Kendall Cotton Mills, said that the textile industry in this country, while by far the U.

Graham Tells Roads Committee N. C. Highways Not 'Adequate RALEIGH, Feb. 16. VP) The Joint Roads Committee, going to work on Gov. Hodges' highway pro gram, was told today that much of North Carolina's primary road system is neither "adequate" nor "safe" for present day traffic needs. Highway Commission Chairman A. H. Graham told the committee this as he reviewed developments Tobacconists .Argue Against Weed Taxes RALEIGH, Feb. -16. US) Tobacco industry leaders declared today a state tobacco tax would further decrease cigarette and cigar sales and seriously affect North Caro lina's economy. . "The industry is not in a healthy state," Fred Royster of Henderson told the Joint Finance Committee. "It is in a state of revolution. . . . I say it is a time for alarm." Royster, Henderson warehouse man and president of the board of governors of the Bright Belt Warehouse Assn., declared he spoke, as an individual grower and warehouseman. While cigarette sales in the U. S. have fallen 7 per cent since 1952, said Royster, they have increased substantially in the 35 leading cigarette producing nations. Gov. Hodges and the Advisory Budget Commission have recom mended a tobacco tax of 2 cents per pack on cigarettes, 1 cent per cigar, and 1 cent on each 10 cents worth of smoking tobacco. Such a tax schedule would yield the state an estimated $8,945,000 per year. The main reason for the sales decrease in the U. S., Royster asserted, is the increasing tax bur den placed, on tobacco since the end of World War II. He said the cancer scare is a minor reason for the decline.

Gov. Hodges has turned thumbs down on the road proposal. Yes terday he called for a "pay-as-you-go" highway construction program. He backed some of the Commission's highway tax proposals but re jected others. He also called for a study of the Highway Department so as to achieve a "statement" approach in its operations and plan ning. ' Sen. Claude Currie of Durham, chairman of Senate Roads, told the joint committee legislation to put some of the Governor's proposals into effect are being drafted. The Governor gave his backing to tax changes which would (1) In crease registration fees for private trucks to more nearly the level paid by contract haulers, (2) Change the method of collecting taxes on Diesel fuels so as to employ the same system used for collecting the gasoline tax, (3) Set up a plan for collecting a "use" tax from big trucks which cross North Carolina, and (4) Make a tighter check on gasoline tax refunds given to nonhighway users. Graham told the legislators that the Commission, aware of the inadequate state of the primary system, had hired a New York en gineering firm to study the highway system. He said the report on this study left the Commission "more impressed with the needs of the system than ever before." The Highway Commission, he said, studied the report in planning its program and adopted portions "ap plicable to North Carolina.", Graham made no direct reference to the fact that the Governor had differed with him on the highway program except to say that per haps the Commission program "went too far." He added the Com mission wants "to go just as far" as "the Legislature is willing to go" in improving the primary road system. Graham spoke in support of the tax changes which the Governor endorsed. On the proposal to boost registration fees of private haulers, Graham said that many industries have set up big truck fleets to haul their products, and the Highway Commission feels these trucks "ought to carry the same taxes" as the trucks of contract and franchise haulers. Graham said the present system of collecting the Deisel fuel tax, under which truckers report how much fuel they use and pay the tax, "puts a penalty on the honest man" because it gives the "dishonest, person" such an "easy out."
