Much to the surprise of many
people, the governor’s suggestion that
the state take over operation and
maintenance of city streets haawoa
the acclaim of many rural folks. Lots
of t)te “brancH-head” boys have writ
ten the governor saying they favor
the proposal. And the idea has gain
ed support of tots of city leaders, too.
Oil lobbyists in North Carolina al
ready are scowling over the prospect
of an added gasoline tax and are
packing their carCgt bags with green
backs preparatory for a trip to Bar
leigh.
It is interesting^to note that slight
ly less than one-fifth of the second
ary roads to be constructed under the
$200,000,000 program already has
been built. And this despite the fact
that in the past three months North
Carolina built more roads than at any
like period in the history of the state.
There’s still a fair-sized amount to
go around getting folks out of the
mud. Some $170,000,000 to be exact.
After the J. R. Moore fiasco, the
administration realized that it had to
have quite a man as prison director.
He had to command the respect of
prison department employees, admin
istration backers, and opponents. like
Caesar’s wife, he had to be above re
proach.
So they went all out in their hunt.
And in Police Chief John Gold of
Winston-Salem they think they found
their man.
Acting Director H. H. Honeycutt
had a lot of backers for the post, but
his age (73) kept him from being
named. Honeycutt will remain with
the department, however, and in a
high position. Incidentally, he has
pledged his support to the new di
rector. That pledge was made to
“whomsoever was named” and was
given prior to the highway commis
sion’s selection of Gold!
Honeyqptt, in all likelihood, will be
second in command. His 47 years of
experience in prison work can be
very useful.
The Gold appointment also seems
to be the answer to the feud between
Exx-director J. B. Moore and Central
Prison’s Warden Joe Crawford. Craw
ford was one of the first to pledge his
active support and cooperation to the
new director.

Incidentally, this probe was launch

A group of veterans from Piedmont

culate petitions throughout the state
asking for a state war bonus. They

Young, handsome, energetic Gover
nor Sid McMath of Arkansas will be
the speaker when the Young Demo
crats meet September 16-16 in Ashe

ly just got himself reelected to Ar
kansas’ number one job.
Regarding the YDC confab, the
postponed fight between Bob Wil
liams of Asheville and Bedford Black
of Kannapolis is slated for the Ashe
ville session. Both will seek the YDC
presidency. The two almost met in a
brawl over the national committee
man’s seat last year at New Bern,
but some sharp, last-minute horse
trading deftrfed the showdown—put
ting Gene Gordon in as committee
man. Gordon beat out Black, aftei
Williams pulled down in Gordon’s fa

Speaking of fights,, watch for the
1961 House speakership race to be
one of the most closely contested in
the history of the house. Friends of
Anti-Administration Frank Taylor oi
Wayne and Sometimes-Scott Support

claiming substantial leads for theix
boys. But unbiased viewers of the
scene see it pretty close, with numer
