the $1,500 limit «re the Governor,
the chairman of the Highway
Commission, and the president of
the Greater University of North
Carolina.
The patrol request 9rougnt a
rash of other requests. It
caused the Council of State to
reverse its stand on authorising
the extra cost, and a committee
j was named to study the entire
picture. This committee is com
posed of Insurance Commissioner
Waldo Cheek, State Treasurer
Brandon Hodges and Secretary of
State Thad Eure will decide what
policy should be followed as to
grading cars along with jobs. The
odds are that they’ll leave the
present policy of $1,500 for a car
in effect, despite haying Motor
Vehicles Commissioner Rosser as
the committee’s “adviser.”
If they listen to a little advice
from the taxpayers—who al&o are
voters—the committeemen will
decide that the cheaper cars are
,rood enough for even a jolonel.
Love And Kieses
Dunno what happened, but that
supposed fight over holding a
YDC State Rally at Haw River
in 1952 for the kickoff of the
presidential primary failed to
materialize.
The Young Democrats at their
Winston-Salem meeting unani
mously endorsed the idea, despite
fears of som# of their elders that
such a wingding would reflect
favorably on any possible aims
of Kerr Scott in 1954.
The Young Democrats also
failed to fight over backing Basil
Whitner of Gastonia for national
YDC president. There had been
some talk of a fight for that
backing between Whitener and
Bedford Black of Kannapolis.
. Quick Savings
Here’s a new twist. The State
is gonna spend some money to
save some.
The recent authorization of the
Council of State for the purchase
of old Meredith College, (now the
Mansion Park Hotel) for $16,000
—and another $10,000 for repairs
—will save the State money in
two ways.
First, a number of State offices
are now in rented space. Many
of these will move into the new
quarters as soon as possible, thus
saving that much rent. Buildings
and Grounds Supervisor George
Cherry figures that the savings j
in rent will pay for the property
within a few years.
Second, the property includes
land in downtown Raleigh for
future expansion. And it’s being
bought on a buyer’s market rather j
than a seller’s market. In other
words, if the State had waited
until it absoluately had to have
the property, the price probably
would have been a great deal
more.
Powell Bill Backwash
Despite the fact that the Sen
ate bill giving cities and towns
a multi-million dollar street-pav
ing handout was signed by some
38 senators, it carries the name
of the “Powell BUI,” after its in
troducer, Junius Powell of Colum
bus County.
Recently, Governor Scott again
attacked the measure, predicting
it would be a millstone around
the necks of its parents and
friends. Powell promptly defend
ed the measure, claiming the act
ual operation of the aid program
would vindicate the position of
the bill's supporters.
It also was reported that Pow
ell, who had backed the Governor
in sveral of his fights, had want
ed to be appointed highway com
missioner from his district. Also
seeking the spot was Powell’s
local political enemy, Lumberman
Avery Thompson of Lake Wac
camaw. The highway job went to
Wilbur Clark, and Thompson was
named a member of the N. C.
Ports Authority. Powell got
nothing, and was not reported as
beinr happy about it.
Thus, according to the Winston
Salem story credited to Bost,
Powell eagerly went along with
the introduction of what is now
known as the Powell Bill.
At the time the co-signers and
originators were happy to let
Powell guide the bill through apd
take credit for it. But now, it
seems, the real authors of the
measure want to get a by-line—
they aren’t happy with being
ghost-writers.
Unbar Those Dears
It’s illegal for county commis
sioners or city council or aider
man to hold closed, pr executive
sessions. Bill Lassiter of Ra
leigh, attorney for the N. C
i Press Association, cited the laws
| in a recent opinion.
Section 153-8 of the Genera)
Statutes covers the county group.
I and Section 160-269 of the Gen
! oral Statutes lays down the law
for municipal bodies, Lassiter re
ports—in case you’re interested.
In addition, public records —•
open at all time^—are supposed
to be kept of the members’ votes.
So, when the county or city
commissioners try to run you out
so they can vote in secret, you
legally can tell ’em no.
Same Judges
Tis rumored around Capitol
Hill that Governor Scott will re
name all eight of the special Su
perior Court judges. All likely
will be named by the time you
read this.
Visitors
Recent Raleigh visitors includ
ed: Former Governor Gregg Cher
ry, on business for the American
Financial and Development Cor
poration, which is handling sale
of State of Israel bonds in the
U. S. . . , Senator Julian Alls
brook of Roanoke Rapids on
“business” . . . Senator L. H.
Fountain of Tarboro, ditto . . .
Rep. Kilpatrick of Pitt, breesing
by so fast he didn’t have time to
say why he was in town.
Signers of the visitors’ book in
the Governor’s office came from
California. West Virginia, Geor
gia, Colorado, Alabama, Iowa,
Ohio, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Rhode
Island, Massachusetts and Michi
gan. I
Capus. Gt A1
The Capus Waynick announce
ment, as predicted, came through.
The ambassador ain’t saying he
will run, and ain’t saying he
won’t, but between the lines
seems to be saying that he more
than likely will be “available” on
a continuation of the “go for
ward” program.
Meantime, the east-west tradi
tion seems definitely to have
swung against Bill Umstead—al
though word from the Wilming
ton area is that the Durham man
is strong in that sector. But the
west Is trying to decide—from
the conservative point of view—
Kerr Craige Ramsey and Brandon
Hodges. Incidentally, Agriculture
Commissioner L. Y. “Stag” Bal
lentine reportedly just swung
through the west sounding out
sentiment for Hodges.
Shootin’ Blanks
For some reason the “surprise"
announcement of a “move to
urge” ex-Banks Commissioner Gur
ney Hood to run for governor re
minds me of a small boy going
bear hunting with an air rifle.

KOREAN WAR VET BENEFITS
Under the terms of a new law,
recently passed by Congress,
persons who served on or after
June 2, I960, may receive medical,
hospital and domiciliary care and
burial benefits on the same basis
as veterans of World War II.
Such persons and their dependents
are also made eligible for com
pensation and pension under the
same conditions as those who
served in World War II.
Union people owe a debt of

for the other fellows in the Un
ion, each man would stand alone.
Then where would he be?
