Although the General As
sembly has adjourned, five of
Its members still find them
selves involved with a prob
lem that plagued the Legisla
ture during the entire session
the speaker ban law.
These are the five who will
occupy a majority of seats on
the nine-member commission
which will soon undertake an
intensive study of the gag law.!
It was no accident that five
of the nine members were,
selected from legislative ranks
by Gov. Dan K. Moore, Lt.
Gov. Robert Scott and House
Sneaker Pat Taylor. It was
the General Assembly which
passed the gag two years ago,
and (unless a test case is car
ried to the courts) it is the .
General Assembly which will
ultimately decide the -fate of.
the law. . - - . . ' ''-.',

members must still be viewed -
as legislators, for they will
carry the first-hand message
of the study group's findings ;
into the next session where
their influence will be import
ant.
The one who will return
with the most influence is
Rep. David Britt of Robeson.
Britt, one of the most respect
ed members of the House, has
served in key legislative spots
and is virtually assured of tak
ing Taylor's gavel as speaker
of the 1967 House.
Britt's selection as chairman
was the really crucial appoint
ment. Legislative support of
the speaker ban was centered
in the House during the last;
session and there is no reason
to assume that it will be other
wise when the General As
sembly convenes again.
By placing one of the most
powerful House members in
the commission's ' leadership
spot, Moore has cemented a
bond between the two bodies
and taken a giant step toward
legislative acceptance of the
commission's findings.
Britt has had little to say
about the speaker ban, and
cannot accurately be placed in
either the pro-ban or anti-ban
camp.
However, the ' other two
" Representatives named to the
commission seem to have tak
en sides.
Rep. Lacy Thornburg of
Jackson is not regarded as a
strong opponent of the ban,
but most observers feel he
would vote for repeal or
amendment.
Rep. A. A. Zollicoffer of
Vance, while not a prominent
supporter of the ban, is al-.
. ligned with pro-gag forces in
the House. , .
During the last session, Zol
licoffer teamed with Sen. Tom
White of Lenoir to push pas-
sage of a bill to give the Ad
visory Budget Commission
control over all money going
to state agencies and institu
tions from sources outside
North Carolina.
Had the measure been ap
proved, it would have given
the commission power to ac
cept or reject out-of-state
, grants for University projects.
He is therefore not considered
a proponent of allowing the
University to run its own af
fairs. Both of Scott's selections,
Sen. Gordon Haynes of For
syth and Russel Kirby of Wil
son, can be listed as opponents
of the gag.
Both Haynes and Kirby are
known for their energy and
willingness to accept tough as
signments. They have also
been relatively free from the
controversy that has raged
