-V* 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 I Austir\0Nichols CLUB RESERVE BLENDED WHISKEY $2.10 pint $3.35 fifth I I IImM Wtmkey, M Pro»f, 4#% Whlikty, ft*/. Crtin Neutral Sylrill. I HOOmiN'MN TOM 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. Paroles Commissioner Dr. T. C.

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 lege in Shelby, and Charlie Dan iel of Fuquay Springs, an ardent Smith supporter Smith Campaign Publicist Hoover Adams of Dunn and Typewriter Salesman Radio Commentator Alvin Wingfield, say they are out of the running Smith may not take his Senate seat until around December 1, unless some way for a pre-sign ing of his certificate of election is found. Although it will be rea- \ dy for Governor Scott's signature ■ after the State Byard of Elections session November 27, (Tie Govern or will be out of tlie State Nor mally, the certificate would be signed, and Smith-would take the oath of office in Washington the next day. But the Governor may ! not get back from Chicago, where | L.v sing Nfl '/■IJJf! session, until November lift or 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.
