CAPITAL REPORTER
Raleigh, N. C., Nov. — State
Treasurer Brandon Hodges has
come u(! with a novel eSfc’use for
the $35,500,000 general fund bond
issue not getting a lower interest
rate than the 1.41 1-4 per cent
they did last week.
He blames it on the telephone
I strike across the nation — says
members of the buying syndicate
could not get in touch with each
other for last minute conferences.
That’s hogwash, and Hodges
should know it.
A representative of one of the
firms in the purchasing syndicate
pointed out that all of the firms
are connected through their own
teletype machines, and could con
fer right up to the deadline of the
bond-bid opening.
"Even a much worse telephone
strike than the jine now in pro
gress could not possibly keep us
from having a quick conference
on the bid,” this investment house
representative said.
Real truth of the matter is that
the bonds sold for a pretty good
interest rate. What kept it from
being lower is the “A” rating of

the State as to general fund bonds,
plus the anticipation of a greatly
increased State budget for the
next two years.
Capitol Hill forecasters proved
themselves right on one count for
the general election. They had
predicted Willis Smith would
either be low or next to low vote
getter on the Democrat*.' ticket.
He was low man on the regular
ballot—but was saved from being
low Democrat by the fact that
Jeff Johnson, Clinton lawyer who
was named supreme Court Jus
tice nominee at the last minute,
got fewer votes. So-called political
experts say Johnson would have
gotten more votes, and probably
would have topped Smith, if his
name had not been on a separate
ballot.
Meantime, over the country
both Democrat and Republican
party stalwarts were disturbed by
one thing. It seems more and more
people are voting for the man.
rather than the party. If that
trend should continue—and ex
pand—party bosses will have to
change their methods. In partic
ular, they’ll have to be mighty
careful about the candidates they
choose, because the votejs gener
ally seem to be tired of voting for
some party hack whose only re
commendation for the job is party
loyalty.
Incidentally, it is reported
around Raleigh that the Willis
Smith faction is giving the back
of its hand to Stag Ballentine. The
agriculture commissioner was i
member of the inner circle during
the ptimaries, and reportedly was
listened to more closely by Smith
than any other advisers. Stag’s re
ward, the boys supposedly in the
know say, is to be ignored now by
the Smith group that is trying to
take over control of the Demo
cratic party in the State.
What a lot of folks apparently
do not know is that a prisoner
may be parolled at any time. He
does not have to serve a certain
time. If the Governor is so in
clined he may parole a prisoner
the first day after his sentence.

Johnson says this causes a lot ?>f

of his time. That is to say, cash
prisoner/; case must be reviewed
as to his eligibility for parole after
he has served one-fourth of his
sentence.
This does not mean, Johnson
said, that he must serve one
fourth of his sentence before he
can be parolled.
“Each case must be considered
individually,” Dr Johnson, “be
cause the circumstances in every
case is different. You cannot get
hard and fast rules in dealing
with paroles."
Dr. Johnson says, too, that it's
almost impossible to keep politics
out of the paroles system.
"It’s hard, because you're deal
ing with human beings," he said
“And it's only natural that you
would listen more carefully to a
friend who’s pleading a prisoner's
case than you would to a political
enemy.”
Some folks around capitol hill
think that Dr. Johnson has tried
to keep politics out, though. But,
they say, he's leaned over so far
backwai%l trying to keep from
showing partiality to political
friends, that he's doing just the
opposite.
Lawyers talking among them
selves are saying that a prisoner
up for parole nowadays has a bet
ter chance if his lawyer is an op
ponent of the Scott administra
tion-all because Dr. Johnson has
tried to keep it from being said
that a lawyer had to be a friend
of the administration to get a pri-*
soncr paroled.
North Carolina's two senators
Clyde Hoey and Willis Smith,
both Democrats are expected to
go along with the administration’s
foreign policy in general. But bdth
of the conservative gentlemen are
expected to oppose any “Fair
Deal” domestic legislation.
Some notes on Mr. Smith: Dur
ing the “lame duck" session of
Congrer,.; he probably will use
the same office Frank Graham oc
cupied while senator When the
new congress convenes, he may
move. Banks Arendell, Raleigh
lawyer who was a Smith aide in
the two primaries, and Smith
Campaign Manager Charles Green
of Louisburg will go to Washing
ton with Smith to help set up the
senator's office The arrangement
is expected to be temporary. Per
manent staff members probably
will be announced by the time
you read this Mentioned for the
two posts -secretary and special
assistant—are Santforri Martin Jr.,
son of the Winston-Salem editor
and now at Gtmlner-Webb Col

Smith may not take his Senate
seat until around December 1,
unless some way for a pre-sign

later. So—unless the Governor
can sign a blank certificate before
he leaves, or some other method |
can be devised, Mr. Smith’s trip
to Washington may be delayed a
few day.
Here’s an interesting note from
the November (i issue of News
week :
“A serious power shortage is de
veloping," the magazine states.
"It will get worse before it gets
better Three months ago power
output seemed adequate for what
ever lay ahead; now both indus
try and government agree that
capacity must be expanded.
“Current energy requirements
are running 20 per cent above a
year ago. That load is due to in
crease greatly. For example, if
the aluminum industry is to ex
pand its yearly capacity by 2,
000,000,000 pounds, it will need an
estimated extra 2,000,000 kilowatts
of electrical power.”
That doesn’t sound like the
same song sung by Louis Sutton,
Carolina Power and Light presi
dent and head of the Edison In
stitute—power research and pub
lic relations organization.
Incidentally, check w'ith Wash
ington and New York finacial
sources indicates a division in
thinking among the power boys.
These sources say the president of
the Edison Institute (Sutton) no
longer speaks for the entire in
dustry, as some of the big power
men have changed their opinions
as to a power shortage.
And, it is ironical that the above
quoted item New'sw'eek came out
prior to Communist Chinese inter
vention in Korea, which has
pointed up the need tor more pow
er even more strongly.

PICKETS RUSH PHILADELPHIA POLICE
TELEPHONE STRIKE PICKET is grabbed by Philadelphia police during their
efforts to escort non-striking workers into an exchange. Pickets twice
rushed the police in this action of striking ClO-Communications \Y orket s

while, the CWA filed complaints of “lock-out” with the National Labor

Stall' Pei sonnel Director Henry
Hilton, who lust week resumed
his $9,000-a-.vear State job, had
confided to friends some time ago
that in-' expected to he "the most
