" ym United ShrATEf '* Liaison Officer Pay Too Great Says Rountree By Thompson Greenwood LIAISON—Pete Murphy, old time athlete of the University of North Carolina, and a perennial member of the inner ring of poli tical North Carolina, has been made liaison officer of thfe^Cfen eral Assembly. As such, fie is a bond or connecting link, between the two houses. -As a matter of fact, Mr. Murphy doesn’t do much of anything in this position. He held the same job two years ago. W. J. Rountree, Gates county representative and d hard-bitten ccnserative, objected to the State’s paying Mr. Murphy $10 per day for this work. He was right, and everybody knew it, but they went ahead with the ap pointment, anyway. However, "Pete Murphy is not getting paid for the work he is now doing in the Legislature, but for his long years of service in the Democratic party. Representative Rountree should remember that Gates county is I as closely associated with politics ■ in this State as any other county in it. Much of the sense—or nonsense, Mr. Rountree — which now dominates the Democratic party in North Carolina had its birth in various sections of Gates. WALKERS — Mr. and Mrs. Gregg Cherry are not doing much riding in the big car. One can see? the State’s first lady tripping along "down Fayetteville street here almost any day window shopping. Governor Cherry says he just doesn’t feel right riding all alone in the back seat of a car which gets only around 10 miles, to the gallon of gas. Since Mr. Cherry is pretty heavy, the little five- or six-block walk from the Mansion to the Capitol "should do him some good. LINE—The Legislature has an imaginary line it plans to hold in spending, and R. G. Deyton, assistant director of the budget, is playing a big hand on this front. Several times within the past three weeks several depart ments and divisions within these departments have made plans to ask for slight increases above the figures set up for the next bien nium for them by the Advisory Budget Commission, but several times Mr. Deyton has said: “Now don’t do that. The increase will be small, and we can attend to it all right, I believe, without your complaining to the Appro priations committees.” By making slight shifts of funds from one division to an other within a department, Dey ton can usually make appropria tions meet the expectations of the petitioners. This he has agreed.to do in many instances, and has thus cut down on the work of Appro priations legislators, and as a consequence this session of the Legislature is likely to be rela tively brief. Although no facts are available, Mr. Deyton has probably had in structions from above to make these moves. Too many times in the past days have been wasted on minor upward revisions of appropriations. NAME—Although the Appro priations Committee is being called the approbations group, Mr. Deyton ($6,600 per annum) probably deserves most of the credit. He is really the Approba tions Officer. The Physician Now Examines the Personality By Dr. J. B. Warren IS PeGsoHAury In early days of medicine the physician examined the tongue; later he examined the blood, then the urine, the sputum, the heart, the lungs, blood pressure. Today the physician still ex* amines all parts of the body be* cause he knows how infections, irritations or other disturbances affect the mind and the emo tions. But, he also examines the personality of the patient be cause the personality reacts on the body just as the body de fects react on the personality. GROOVE—The teachers are in the groove on their requests for more money. Ask for a much big ger increase than you have any idea you can get, and chances are you will obtain a compromise half way between what was re commended and what you re quested. But this Legislature is not go ing to go into anything that will let the financial bars down, whether the matter applies to broadened medical facilities, edu cation, or social legislation. There is a lot of money in State coffers, and this Legislature, without caution, could very easily go down as a spend-thrift ses sion. The administration is work ing earnestly to avoid this repu tation. DRINKING — There is less drinking and poker - playing around the hotels here than in other odd years. This is due to the fact that the legislators are more concerned with legislative business. They ©re a serious bunch of fellows, as a whole, and they are doing good work and receiving quite a few compliments from old heads who have watch ed a score of Legislatures wax and wane. PICTURES—William Howland, Southern representative for Time, Life, and Fortune, visited Com missioner of Agriculture Kerr Scott last Friday and Saturday. His photographer made a dozen or so shots. After leaving the commissioner, they went to the University for something on the sesqui-centennial of that institu tion. Sunday afternoon they made 300 picture of the Scott farm in Alamance county. LOCAL—What would be your attitude toward your county’s raising the State salary for teach ers 10 percent? F. E. Wallace, Lenoir county representative, in troduced a bill last week which would allow the commissioners of his bailiwick to do this very thing. If it passes, the surround ing counties had better look out. Wallace is close to the adminis tration. Does his introduction of this bill indicate that he is of the opinion that teachers’ salaries will still need local help after the Legislature has made its de parture? Man learned how to make paper from wood by watching the wasp.
