' By N. C. INSTITUTE January 30,. Ia03 r- Tentative plans of the 19S3 General Assemb ly to accept an Invitation to visit Camp Lejeune sometime after the first of March indicate that this session of the legislature will not toe of unusually short duration. .Al though this third full week of leg islative activity marked the first floor debate of the session and showed a sharp increase in the mimhor of committee meetings held, the speed-up in the rate of kill Introductions anticipated at the end of the second week has not yet materialized. The number of -bills Introduced so far this session is about 20 less than the number of introductions for the same num ber of legislative days in 1951. Re ports from Durham of Governor Umstead's condition continue to be encouraging. - Finance and Appropriations The introduction of a 1953 Rev enue BiU late this week gave the joint finance committee a frame- : work around which to consider pro posed amendments to the State's tax structure. The bill itself con tains only a slight change in the . Inheritance tax law and provides for a short form income tax re HIGHEST MARKET PRICES PAID FOR MINK AND RATS.., Bring Or Ship Them To Us.

Twenty-two departments and institutions ran requests lor additional appropriations to more than $20 minion over recommenda tions of the Advisory Budget Com mission, Two more weeks of hear ings are scheduled before the com mittee can settle down to the task of formulating their recommenda tions. , In accordance with new ARE YOU PLANNING TO BUILD?

Criminal Prebedure and Civil Law Among the lawyers bills lntrdu ced during the week, only five are of widespread importance even to lawyers. Three of these effect revisions.-In criminal pro cedure; (1) permitting convicted criminals to give bail pending ap--peal in. all but capital cases; (2) permitting probationers ' and per sons under suspended- sentence to give bond following arrest and pending court hearing; (3) elim inating provision authorizing Jur ies to render verdicts of 2nd de gree burglary when facts found are sufficient to constitute first degree burglary. The two remaining bills would,, sooner or late, touch most N. C. citizens, alive or dead. The first permits creation of future Interests in personalty, making it easier for persons to control dis position of- property other than land by deed. The second permits, for the first time in this state, re covery for accidental injury where the persons injured was partially responsible for the injury, but limits such recovery by permitting juries to award damages based on .relative responsibility. . Presidential PrUnary A preferential primary election for presidential candidates, pro posed In a Senate bill on Wednes day, recalled memories of last sum mere's presidential f nominations. Although results would not be binding on delegates to national party conventions, provisions for tiling of candidates by petition of any party members who can mus ter signatures of 5000 Qualified voters, and for counting of write- in votes, guarantees mat tne choices of the majority of N.

Collier's $50,000,000 bill, the first to reach the sub committee, there was growing real ization that a bond issue for more than " $50 million might be neces sary to meet current needs. Bills were introduced in the House dur ing the- week to: (19 provide for loans to medical and nursing stu dents specializing in psychiatry In medical schools within the state, repayable in cash or through serv ice in state mental hospitals:. i2) appropriate $35,000 annually for employment of 6 area music super visors to train and organize lead ers to promote music in schools, churches, and communities; -and "(3) admit students other than In dians to Pembroke College. Highway Safety Legislators' attention Is still di rected to highway safety. One bill would bring automatic license sus pensions varying from 60 to 120 days for drivers convicted of ex ceeding speed limits by more than 1 mpm, and from 80- days to six months for such offenders also con victed of reckless driving. If a driver arrested for drunken drlv lng requests scientific analysis of his blood, a , second bill provides that he Is: (IV presumed not drunk if analysis shows .05 or less by weight of alcohol in his blood, and (2) presumed drunk If alcohol is .15 or more by weight These presumptions would be determina tive of the driver's guilt if not out weighed by contradictory evidence. Local , Government The . most significant develop ment concerning local government is still a gleam in some legisla tors' eyes. The suggestion Is that county commissioners be given au thority to fix the salaries and fees of all county officials 'and employ ees. This could reduce by several hundred the number of local" bills enacted by the General Assembly each session but such legislation would be permissive, not manda tory. One concrete proposal In traduced this week would permit municipalities Incorporated since the last federal census to make estimates ol their population' for usejby state agencies in allocating state funds to local governmental units. . : . Miescellaneous Resolutions adopted by the 1941 and 1949 General Assemblies, en. dorslng a world federal govern merit and calling on Congress to call a convention to propose amend mentis to U. . S. Constitution au thorizing negotiation with other nations relating to a world 'govern ment, would be repealed by SB 66 introduced on Friday. A simi lar bill sponsored by the Daugh ters of the American Revolution In 1951 did not receive committee approval.

I have never bet a more en lightened group of women, women who are aware and Intelligent ' amd know what Is going on In he world In which they live; , ' A past president, Mrs. Don Woods, a former Canadian, took j me in charge and showed me some of 'the rooms of the club, the library, the museum, the Imposing board room., Mrs. Woods raises camellias, too, and gave the speaker, Margaret Bourke- ..! White, one of her exquisite blooms, 'white with a yellow center, . . '( called Finlandla. , ' " - . Margaret BourkeWhlte whom I have known for many years is . our intrepid Life photographer who has more achievement awards v than almost any woman In America . . and is rcognized as the top woman photographer of the world. She has recently returned from n ejght month's assignment In the Orient, most of which she ;spent on the Korean rront. Her lecture is not only exciting but very thought provoking. I will review in Jt full in a later column. C On my right at lunch was the charming former tennis champion, Alice Marble, who has had a varied full life, too, She lectured for, over ten years, has sung in night clubs, designed sports clothes. ' I do not know' whether she designed the dress she wore or not, ' but it was a stunning creation of roman-sirlped tie silk. - f Margaret Bourke White wore a grey suit made for her In Tdyko by a tailor who copied it from a picture In Vogue. I saw another "suit he had made for her a Harris tweed In" soft blues an3 beige ? with blue velvet trimming. Both of them bad the perfect fit that only a tailor .can achieve. I wish that I had found out the exact -name of the material of the gray suit .because although it was a -very hot day, it did not wrinkle at alL Miss BourkeJWhite- whose ''. pictures do not do her Justice In the least . . that is pictures that others have made of her v. has. a deep and very becoming tan ao .,: Kfliired In Korea and In the Virgin Islands . . a vivid contrast to her1 '.t silver hair. ,: ; - .-V V';:' - ' , V'.t' .;,,,;"'!'f,iut'';.:'v V, v.j'-'v ' Later we went to Beverly Hills for a fitlng of a dress that is ::, truly-fabulous.

His warning is equ ally pertinent now. Of Communism he said: ' ',: 1 ; - t - . ; ; "Bolshevism is -the necssary result of modern materialistic' civil : Ization. The insensate' worship of matter has.given rise to a school ' which -has been brough 'up to look upon materialistic advancement : . ' as the goal of life and which has . lost touch with the final thimga ., in life. ... .''' ' ,: , "I prophesy that if we disobey Che law of ithe final supremacy of : 1 spirit -over matter, of liberty and love over brute force, in a few -: year's time we shall have Bolshevism rampant in this land which was once so holy", ' ' t ' . Louis Fishcher who -has written a definitive life of the great and - beloved leader of India says that those words could well become a ' pin-up slogan for those who wish to defend decency and liberty. Gandhi was talking about India, but he might well have been talk- : ing about the United States. ' .. ,": . , . " . 1 "Materialism is the mother of twin, troubles," says Mr. Fisher, Communism and corruption. People who pursue power, dollars, i cheap popularity and prestige, and meanwhile lose sight of the final things In life become enemies of society." - -' :. ; :. v : , .' ;:, . Gandhi often urged that we turn the searchlight Inward knowing ' ' that a clear view of bur own deficiencies is the first step towards . victory over eyiL And the second? We must have a spiritual re birth which will pla:e less value on material advancement and more t' or moral advancement, less of what we HAVE, and more of what ' we ARE. . - :-. .'.; v.. -.. . V: i ; t ' ; : '.;.'., : ; .Gandhi had mental health because in him creed and deed were one. He was integrated. That is the meaning of integrity. What he V eiievea, ne said and did '. and they formed a whole truth and as Gandhi often said. Truth is God. v:; ' ' .;v:i, ..;.' ,- - . With truth, by living truth, humanity can conquer Communism, tout in no other way. It depends not upon usi ourselves. Each time we add fuel to prejudice and intolerance, we aid the Communist cause . we fight against our own sons dying in Korea .dying for truth and a principle of life thajt we have not the courage to live. Emerson had a poem that says -what I mean more aptly than I ' an . ; he called it Men Who Stand Fast - - , . Not gold, but only men can make ' . ' A nation great and strong.-' " " : : ; y-!

Pitkin, who was too eften Identified janly as the author On "Life Begins at 40.' The book did accomplish' something of a social revolution in the United States, helping to slay the dragon of middle age, the idea that senility was a necessary evil when we reached forty. It shook off the fetter of the old prejudice against -men. and women, who quitting their thirties, were held to be" plunging down the shady side of the hill of life. (But his work ; .was greater than that v . t, . ?t IDrV' PltUa-was a revolutionary . . a'rebel. He was a form of ' yeas in the easlal dough, demanding that it change and change f or the better. In all he published more than thirty books ranging Jii subject from how to write short stories to a 'IShort IntroducUon o the History of Human Stupidity," He operated a farm, was a peddler, cook, cattle boss, and at one time managing editor of the ; Encyclopedia. He concluded that the Wilson program failed because N of the President's low energy and bad feet ( .
