Legislators said to be against
special session for school bonds
By CLIFT BLUE
WADE BRUTON ... The
unanimous decision of the State
Supreme Court in upholding
Attorney General Wade Bru
ton’s ruling that the proposed
constitutional amendments
could not be voted upon in the
Special Bond Issue Election
speaks well for the legal mind
of the Montgomery County na
tive who was appointed Attor
ney General by Governor
Hodges in 1960.
SPECIAL SESSION ... We
have talked with many legis
lators in all parts of the state
since the 1961 General Assem
bly adjourned and with citizens
recall that a single person has
been of the opinion that a spec
ial session of the General As
sembly should be called to pro
vide for a bond issue vote for
school buildings.
SPENCER jBELL . . . Gen
eral feeling seems to be that
President Kennedy will name
State Senator Spencer Bell a
Federal Circuit Judge unless
Senator Sam J. Ervin feally
puts his foot down in solid
opposition to him. Ervin has
recommended Superior Court
Judge J. Will Pless, Jr., of
Marion for the post.
U. S. SENATE . . Senator
Sam J. Ervin is taking no
chances and is getting set for
a senate race in plenty of time,
should one be thrust upon him.
In addition to his newspaper
statement that he" would def
initely be a candidate for re
election, he is writing friends
over the state telliiig them about
the same thing he said in his
Peck Comes
For A Visit
Chapel Hill’s Town Manager
elect, Robert Peck of Washington,
was here for the day last Friday
to seek housing for his family
and prepare to take over his new
job on Sept. 1.
Mr. Peck indicated to Chapel
Hill Mayor Sanely McClamrodi
that he might move here befpre
in finding housing. The Pecks have
three children—a four-year-old
daughter and two sons who are
students at the University in Chap
week.

•In a public statement issued
recently when Mr. Peck’s
resignation as Washington City
Manager was announced, Mayer
Thomas Stewart declared: “We
are sorry to be losing Mr. Peck.
Wie have tried to prevail on him
to stay, but he has his mind made
up.
“It is very much through Mr.
Peck’s efforts and devotion to his
duties as city manager that our
* town has progressed in 'the last
four years. He has saved the city
much money becaue of the way
he has carried out his duties. We
hope we can find someone as near
as good as he is for a replace
ment. He has meant much to our
city and has carried ou the func
tions of his office in a business
like manner.”
public statement.
Sam Ervin has served in
the Senate since 1954 and he
well knows that in eight
years, and he will have served
eight years before his current
term has expired, that old
leaders can pass on and new
ones spring up in that length
of time.
He is determined not to be
caught high and dry from con
tact with tlie people back home
like the venerable Senator Wal
ter George was from the people
of Georgia, and the late great
statesman George W. Norris
from the people of Nebraska
when voting time came around, j
The best way to insure re- |
election is to run hard and
scared. Take an election for
granted and oftentimes you will
be caught unaware without time
to mend fences at home.
HIJACKING ... We hope
that the failure of the father j
and son to successfully hijack
the Continental plane to Cuba
last week will put a damper on
this type of Blackbeard pirating.
GUBERNATORIAL . . . It’s
nearly three years off but the
politicians are already talking
about it. The “it” is who the
candidates will be in the 1964
Democratic gubernatorial pri
mary contest in North Carolina,
which not since 1928 has gone
to anyone by default. And when
the late O. Max Gardner won
the nomination without opposi
tion. in 1928—eight years earlier
he slugged it out in two cam
paigns to finally lose to Cam
eron Morrison of Charlotte.
Alphabetically, we will list
some of those being mention
ed for 1964: Bert Bennett and
Gordon Gray, both of Win
ston-Salem; Joe Hunt of
Greensboro; Woodrow Jones
of Ruiherfordlon; Ed Kemp
of High Point; Paul Kitchin
of Wadesboro; Dr. Beverly
Lake of Raleigh; Cloyd Phil
potl of Lexington; Pat Taylor
Jr„ of Wadesboro; and Rep.
Basil Whitener of Gastonia.
