W. HERMAN JOYNER DIES
SUDDENLY WEDNESDAY
William Herman Joyner, 42, well
known owner of a trucking firm in
Farmville, died suddenly in Farmville
Activities of
Pausing at the beginning of its
third full week to mourn the loss of
one of its most valued members, the
late Joe Blythe, Senator from Meck
lenburg and national treasurer of the
Democratic party, the General As
sembly gave indication on Wednesday
that it may now be hitting its stride
—a total of 45 bills were introduced
that day, 7 in the Senate and 38 in
the House. It ended the week only
slightly behind the 1947. session in
total number of introductions: 79 in
the Senate and .191 in the House, as
compared to 80 and 201 in 1947. Not
a great deal of law has been made
yet—only 22 bills have been passed
by both houses, and several of them
are resolutions .of minor importance.
But committee work has begun mov
ing forward; the joint Appropriations
> Committee has already heard many
of the State departments, and the
joint Finance Committee has set Feb.
s 18 as its goal for completing its
work. Including the bills which have
; been passed by .both houses, 54 bills
have been reported out of committee.
Motor Vehicle Daws
i The 1947 Highway Safety Act is
' 1 under fire from two flanks in the
■ | General Assembly. Developments of
last week point to the House as the
| battle-ground where the motor vehi
|C>e inspection must fight for survi
11 val. At the same time that SB 59,
approved by the Senate after a sharp
debate to provide for reduction in the
number of annual inspections from
' two to one per-year, was on its way
to the House on Friday, an identical
measure, HB 180, was being intro
duced in the lower chamber. Further
more, if the sentiment revealed by
several representatives on Raleigh
radio programs in the past two weeks
is an accurate straw in the wind,
, these is a strong movement afoot in
the House for complete repeal, pro
posed three weeks ago in HB 5.
HB .171 attacks the 1947 driver’s
license reexamination law. It would
require persons holding licenses prior
to July 1, 1947, to secure renewal li
censes without examination by Janu
ary 1, 1950, and would continue to re
quire simple renewal every four
years.
Regulation of motor vehicles being
towed is the object of HB 164 to re
quire that such vehicles be occupied
by a driver and be equipped with
brakes. ,
Roads l
The Governor’s recommendation
that the gasoline tax be increased
one cent to help pay for the proposed
$200,000,000 bond issue for secondary
roads was submitted to both houses
in bill form on Friday. The bills do
not provide for a conditional increase,
so that this revenue will be available
for road purposes even if the bond
issue is not approved.
Administration of Justice and the
Courts
On Wednesday the 16 bills embody
ing the results of the studies of the
Commission for the Improvement of
Justice were introduced in the House
by Sam Worthington, Pitt’s represen
tative and chairman of one of the
two judiciary committees. Three of
the bills propose constitutional a
mendments- to be submitted to the
voters on November 7, 1960. The first
of these would make rotation of
judges a legislative rather than a!
constitutional policy, give the Chief
Justice authority to assign judges, '
and empower the Legislature to de-|
fine the jurisdiction of the special!
judges; the second would permit .per
sona represented by comsel to waive
indictment in all except capital
cases; and the third would permit the
'election of more than one regular
judge in the district if so provided by
the Legislature.
Three statutory changes in the
court system would permit the Su
preme Court to prescribe the civil
procedure for all courts except those
of the justice of the peace; create a
jury commission in each county; and
set up a judicial council to make a
continuing study of the administra
tion of justice.
In the field of criminal procedure
the bills provide that warrants is
sued in one county run state-wide
without endorsement; that summons
instead of warrants be issued in mis
demeanor cases; that primte prose
cutors be required to disclose the
identity of their employer; that
judges be authorized to assign coun
sel to indigent defendants in all felo

Schools And School Teachers
The flurry of bills designed to raise
teachers’ salaries rad give State aid
to counties for school construction
has abated. The three identical bills
fixing teacher, principal and super
intendent Salaries for the 1948-49
school term at the minimums recom
mended by the State Education Com
mission are still resting where bills
caling for expenditures usually rest—
in the joint Appropriations Commit
tee. The two bills drafted to provide
State funds for county scho<Jl. build
ing programs are still in the House
Education Committee, and even if
one of them is reported favorably it
must still go through the Joint Ap
propriations Committee. The prob
lem of ways and means, largely
means, is the crucial iasne. Governor
Scott pointed out the schools’ white
hope in his inaugural message—Fede
ral aid. On Thursday a joint resolu
tion was introduced in the House1
affirming this hope and requesting
the State's congressional delegation
to work to expedite legislation pro
viding federal funds for the schools
“without federal control. ' This, too,
found its way to the Education Com
mittee. Thus the school picture is
still blurred, and blurred it will re
main until the committees finish their
deliberations. - -
Public Welfare and the Family
From time to time mental defec
tives committed to state institutions
are refused or delayed in obtaining
admission. When the persons respon
sible for their upkeep are unable to
pay for their support' during-- this
waiting period the county must bear
the cost. HB 182, introduced Friday,
proposes to have the State reimburse
the counties at the rate of $2 per day
plus actual medical and hospital ex
penses incurred in supporting these
