End Came Sudden The North Carolinian remained conscious to the end and his last words were a request to his wife to call Dr. Edward Pruden, pastor of the First Baptist church, and tell him that he would be unable to teach his Sunday school class. While Mrs. Broughton was making this telephone call nurses sum moned her back to the room as the end came suddenly. Senator and Mrs. Broughton had spent a quiet evening In their apartment. The Senator had pre pared his Sunday school lesson shortly before he retired about 10 p. m. Funeral services will be held in the Tabernacle Baptist church in Raleigh, Tuesday at 3 p. m. Senator Broughton has been a life-long member of this church, of which his father was a founder. He had taught a Sunday school class there for 27 years. Dr. F. O. Nixon, pastor of the church, and Dr. Ed ward R. Pruden, pastor of the First Baptist church of Washington, ill conduct the service. The body of Senator Broughton was sent to Raleigh Sunday night by train, leaving about midnight, arriving there at seven a. m. Mon day. The sergeant at arms of the Senate accompanied the body. Mrs Broughton and her three sons left by plane. To Select Delegation A delegation from, the Senate to attend the funeral was designated by Vice President Berkley when the Senate convened Monday. Dr. Pruden called on Mrs. Broughton. He spoke of his great affection and admiration for the Senator and said that he would go to Raleigh for the services. Senator Clyde R. Hoey, Repre sentative and Mrs. Monroe Redden, and Assistant Attorney General Lamar T. Caudel joined Mrs. Broughton at Naval hospital, reach ing there shortly after the end caine. Richard Queen, one of Senator Broughton's secretaries, was among those getting there early. Senator Broughton was assigned to two important committees in the 81st Congress, judiciary and post ottice and civil services. He was called to the White House this week to discuss with the President pending bills before the post office and civil service committee. During his short tenure in the Senate, Broughton had shown a great capacity for work. He was tireless in his efforts for the state of North Carolina. One of these tasks, completed this week, was to work with other members of the North Carolina delegation to make it possible for Wilmington to become an impor tant port through the development of terminal facilities at the Fed erally owned shipyard there. Won Victory First as counsel for the State Ports authority and later as Sena tor, the wartime Governor labored for three years to obtain a lease of the shipyard. In the last week of his life came the victory; the mari time commission, reversing its for mer decision, agreed to lease the northern part of the yard as soon as the legislature would vote the funds for building a dock and ware house there. Senator Broughton learned the good news from the maritime com mission chairman, Admiral W. W. Smith, when they met at a recep tion in the Carlton hotel about seven o'clock last Wednesday even ing. Eager to share the good news with the people of North Carolina the Senator hurried to a telephone booth as soon as he reached the waterfront restaurant where he had a dinner engagement and call ed the news to North Carolina.

The youniT, thirty-four year old bishop, a native of Ireland was appointed to the newly created dio cese of Charleston in 1820. In less than two years he had visited, by slow, uncomfortable travel, his en tire diocese 'which then included North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia', published his first pastoral letter, conducted the first retreat for clergy, established the first diocesan seminary, published an English reprint of the Roman Missal, preached in the House of Reprc .ent.it ives of South Carolina, visited President Monroe and Sec retary of State .lohn Quircy Adams, built up a Book Society 'nroughout three states, wrote a constitution of his diocese, and founded the tirst Cat hoi if weekly in this coun try. A writer and orator without equal in apologetic force, Catho lic and non-Catholics alike crowd ed to hear him. He was determined, however, to make his words reach beyond the range of the pulpit, to make them reach the thousands who could not hear his voice and heard no other voice to dissolve the many and enormous misconcep tions held by the American public. He was quick to discover the lack of a Catholic press in America. Leaders of the Church, during the time, were coolly indifferent to the establishment of a Catholic press as a tool of vindication in the face of perpetual, unanswered attacks, so he proceeded alone clearly, logically, always patient in explain ing, condemning untruth but never the individual, ignorant of truth. There were two short periods when his new Catholic weekly, The United States Catholic Miscellaney. had to suspend publication for lack of funds, bul except for these times, it survived until 1801. By 1 820 four more Catholic weeklies were being published and in 1833 the number had increased to twelve. The Catholic presses had begun to roll Originator of much 'hat is tak en for granted in today's American Catholic scene, it may be that John England's greatest influence upon the American Church re mains the provincial councils. Out' of these has come a uniform discip line and co-operative direction of the American Church. Such a snyod was his original suggestion and the object of much pleading dur ing his first two years in America. After long wailing, the first meet ing of American bishops was held in 1829, sounding the death knell of racial jealousies which had bred so many unhappy animosities with in the American Church Militant.

Americaij Catholics today are enjoying the results of his great work Mo longer does the country doubt that a free govern ment can exist with the Roman Catholic Church; no longer do its people refuse to acknowledge that the best of American political doc trines was a heritage of the ancient Christian Church: and no longer do American Catholics ignore attacks upon their Church or upon the true principles of their country's gov ernment.

Editor's note This summary compiled by the Institute of Gov ernment of Chapel Hill. Senator Broughton Held Haywood In High Esteem; Visited Here Senator Broughton opened his campaign for governor in the Hay wood county court house, and had always held a warm spot in his heart for the county- because of his many friends here. He had often been here, on both business and pleasure trips. He named Richard Queen as one of his secretaries soon after taking office in January. Bryan Medford, who handled Mr. Broughton's campaign here last spring, together with Mrs. Med ford, left Monday afternoon to at tend the funeral. Others from here were expected to attend. Senator Broughton attended the Ramp Convention here last Spring, teaching the adult department Sunday at tbe First Baptist church. This was his last public address in Haywood.

Repair of the city hall included remodeling of police department headquarters and other depart ment headquarters and other de partment offices. The tax collector and engineering staff have freshly painted quarters. Three new cells, with bunk room for eight persons, have been added to the jail section of the town hall on Main Street. This makes a total of 12 cells which will accommodate about 16 persons. The structure is of concrete blocks and is fireproof throughout, Mayor Murray said. Statement on total cost of the city hall project is not yet avail able, according to the mayor. The work has been under way for the past seven weeks. The 1949 General Assembly shifted into hi?h gear last week. If quantity of legislation acted up-, on is taken as the criterion, three ; steps were lost tor every two gam-1 ed because many more bills were j introduced this week than in any previous period. If quality of legis- j lation be the standard, real prog-1 ress was in evidence, since many j of the measures that prove to be j perennial stumbling blocks were j receiving decisive action: the Reve- i nue Bill with committee amend- j ments has reached the House floor, the State Personnel Bill has reach-, ed the floor of the Senate, the Sup- ; plemental Appropriations Bill , passed both houses, and both 11 I quor referendum bills have receiv- j ed unfavorable committee reports, j Revenue Act Amendments j The Revenue Bill committtee substitute which reached the floor j of the House on Thursday bore lit tle resemblance .to the original. Gone were the provisions reducing i the franchise tax on non-utility cor- ! porations from $1.50 per $1000 of j net worth to $1.25 and those chang- ; ing the sales tax on farm machin-! ery to the wholesale rate of tax. J Added were provisions giving mu- j nicipalities V pf the franchise tax I on utility corporations attributable to the business done within a mu nicipality; taxing co-ops on the same basis as corporations in re spect to income not distributed or allocated to patrons; increasing the income tax deductions for depend ents from $200 to $300, and allowing deductions for payments of ali mony up to $1000; and exempting j sales of fuel to fanners from the i sales tax if the fuel is used for farm purposes. Supplemental Appropriations Flat 20 pay increases retro active to October 1. 1948, were granted all State employees and teachers this week as the General Assembly passed SB 31, the Sup plemental Appropriations Bill for the biennium 1947-49. As introduc ed the bill had tied all increases to those which would be recom mended for the biennium 1949-51, but a committee amendment in serted the automatic raise for the rest of the present biennium de spite modification efforts in the Senate. Schools On Tuesday SB 199 and HB 560, identical bills setting out the Foundation program recommended by the State Education Commis sion, were Introduced. This pro gram calls for an 85 contribu tion by the State, and 15 by the counties to meet the cost of in structional service, current ex pense and capital outlay for the schools. The costs of transporta tion of school children and health service for them would be met by the State. The portion of the 15, to be contributed by an individual county would be determined by that county's taxpaying ability as measured by certain economic fac tors. On Thursday an overflow audience jammed an Appropria tions and Education Committee hearing in Memorial Auditorium to point out school needs and advo cate adoption of this program. School building aid to counties found two new attempts at solu tion this week in SB 203, which would tap the General Fund sur plus and other sources to make up $50 million in aid; and in HB 627 which would authorize an election on the question of issuance of $50 million in bonds for this same aid. The committee substitute for HB 3, HB 4 and HB 221, which appro priates $50 million from the Gen eral Fund for school buildings rests in the House Appropriations Com mittee. . , Roads and Motor Vehicles Not a sound was heard this week in the House concerning the $200 aiillion road bond issue, the in crease in the gas tax, or the bill giving the municipalities lc of the gas tax, since the Finance Com mittee has said that it will not dis cuss these measures until the Rev enue Bill has passed the House. The Senate Finance Committee has not. passed on the Senate version of the road bond bill.
