GardnerNames Constitution Rewrite Group tppotnts Commission of Nine Men, Headed By Stacey, For Task. Raleigh, June 19.—A commission of nine to rewrite the constitution of North Carolina "to make, It re spond more adequately to the mod ern needs of a progressive common wealth’’ has been named by Oov. O. Max Gardner. The commission was authorized by the 1931 general assembly and its proposals will be submitted to the 1933 legislature. In anounclng the commission, Governor Gardner said he felt it “is well balanced, patriotic and con structive and will be able to rewrite our old and antiquated constitution so as to make it respond more ade quately to the modern needs of a progressive commonwealth." ~ Its personnel follows; Chief Justice W. P. Stacy, of the state supreme court, Raleigh; Judge John J. Parker, of the U. 8. circuit court of npeals, Charlotte; Judge Michael Schenck, of superior court, Ifendersonvllle; Representative Lind '■‘W C. Warren, Washington, N. C.; Burton Craig, Winston-Salem; A. J. Maxwell, commissioner of reve nue, Raleigh; George Butler, Re publican leader, Clinton; Dr. Clar ence Poe, farm publication editor, Raleigh, and J. O. Carr, Wilming ton. A new constitution was one of the primary recommendations for improvement of the state govern ment made to Governor Gardner by lie Brookings Institute, of Wash ington, shortly before the 1931 gen eral assembly convened. Under the Brookihgs plan only three state offices would be elective by the people—the governor. the lieutenant-governor, and the state auditor. This would put into com plete effect the •'.short ballot" plan of having the governor appoint the heads of state deimrtments. The 1931 assembly killed short ballot proposals for the department of labor and the department of agri culture. North Carolina's present consti "ution was drafted during recon Jtruction days in 1869. It Is the only ttate constitution that does not give 'he governor the power of veto. The commission plan of revising the state's constitution was employ es by former Governor Harry F. Byrd in Virginia, who spoke before the 1931 North Carolina legislature and urged that tilts state follow nuch procedure. Governor Gardner’s first plan for revlstlng the constitution was to have the general assembly call a constitutional convention, but that Hide-tracked In favor of the Virginia plan.
