For the first time this year several Caroiina General A.ssembly of i *^*11*^ ’ b'hs^ began the 1!>65. It is confined to discus sions of matters of general in terest and major importance. A typical early . mid week on the House calendar and I languished there until week’s I end, vamping 'til ready. The . House, however, virtually cleared jits calendar in a brisk Friday session workout, cheered on by words of I gentle encouragement from the ' Speaker. As we pass the (probable) ' three-eightbs mark of the session, the year’s volume continues ! somewhat on the low side. With the help of a heavy Thursday and Friday, total introductions ! crept near the 500 slot today. By I comparison, in recent Assemblies i the 500th bill was in the bag a- j bout a week earlier on the aver- age. If introductions are light, ! though, laws are being passed a bit faster than usual. Today the 1126th act was ratified. On the .same date in 1963 only the 101st :8 ON / EO \7 VOTE JOHN HENRY MOSS FOR MAYOR ELECTION.

I I Appropriations and Finonce ^ j Taking up where Governor - Moore left off last week witli liis Budget Message, Senator Tom Wliite introduced the budget ap propriations, capital appropria tions and legislative bond bills in the Senate this Tu£*sday (SB 116, SB 117, SB 118). The.se are identical to the budget bills in- troduevd in the House on opening day, except that Sen. Wliite’s bills omit the appropriations ' items for Charlotte College in ; light of its new University status. On Friday Sen. White and oth ers, in the Senate, and Rep. Zol- licoffer in the Hou.se intro<luced, a supplemental budget bill to ! carry out the recommendations, ■ £)f the Governor’s Budget Mt«- ■ ; .sage (SB 143, HB .347). While and ' Zollicoffer al.so introduced iden tical bills to make some changes in the 196.3 capital improvements i appropriation affecting .self lit|-' uidating i)roje<‘ts at .several of the Slate college and university c-am- puscs. (SB 144, HB 346). i I’wo miscellaneous budget bills were born this week — HB 331, ! appropriating about S2.5,(X)<) to ' the Dc'partment of C & D for a ; forest fire line plowing unit; and SB 119, appropriating $100,(KX) for a clo.ser .scrutiny of the life and , timers of the Carolina cucumber, in hopes of spurring Tar Hwl cuke-culture. HB 317 would turn iover to the counties for .schex)! buildings 15') of the State’s takei from the sales and use tax exac tions. Other new proposals with spending consequences included two bills to validate tardy tax refund pleas by public bodies (HB 344 and HB 348); a bill to allot an additional $235,(X)0 for larger commissions to license plale sales agents (HB 345); and a proposal to give copies of ses sion laws, legislative journals and court reports to 27 additional institutions of highc-r learning (amendment to HB 281). Criminal Law and Procedure Capital punishment, for dts-- ades a highly controversial sub ject throughout the nation, is re ceiving particular attention ficnn stale icgi.slatures this yea)'. With in the past fortnight Iowa be came the 10th state to eliminate the death penalty (the others: Alaska, Hawaii, Maine*, Michi gan, Minnevsota, North Dakota. Rhode IsUcnd, Wisconsin, and Oregon). However, elimination of the death sentence by legislative action is only part of the storj’. It is dying more through disuse than by formal repeal. Of states with caoital punishment still on their hooks. Idaho has not had an e.'eculion in a decade. Montana nut since 1943, and Massachu- .sctls not since 1947. Nationwide executions have declined steadily from 199 in 1935 to 31 in 1963, i-veti in face of a rapidly increas ing iiopulation, crime rate, et(. Rep. Me.sser’s hill (HB 103) to abolish the death penalty in .North Carolina, except in rape cases, was reporttal favorably in the House by Judiciary 1 on •Mai-ch 18. and came up on the calendar for second reading Fri. day. After a lengthy anil vigor ous debate the bill was over whelmingly defeated on a ixill call vote. l’ro(K)nents of the measuri* pointi*d to the nalion- Insure Your Farm Against FIRE!

A major revision of the Post Conviction Hearing Act spon.sor- ed by the Judicial Council (HB 305, Godwin of Gates) substanti ally broadens its applicability ' and cxpi ditcs proccduics. Under the old act a person conviclcd of crime* could obtain a judicial re view in tiu* state courts after tlie lime tor appeal had expired only ■ for alleged sul)stanli:(l denial of (•onstituiional rights. The remedy lor other trial errors lay in Fed eral habeas corpus. I'he new act would supply a [lOst conviction ! liearing in addition for conv ic- tion in .-i court without jurisdic- 'tion to impo.se lire .sentence, a sentence in excess of the legal maximum, and any other error , now I'emediabit* by various com mon law wills. The prcxx-dural modifications arc designed to in sure a speedier disposition of pe titions under the act. One effect of tile proposed clianges, by mak ing state procedures simpler and more broadly available, should be to cut down the number of habeas Corpus petitions to Fed eral I'ourts by North Carolina convicts.

The net effect of the legislation is to make each sjiouse a fiee agent in dealing with liis or her separate proper ty with two exceptions, boUi presently the law: (1) a private examination of the wife, design ed to insure that the transaction is not unreasonable or injuriou.s to her interests, is required for most contracts between husband and wife affecting lier pioperty; (2) the consent of the spouse is still required for either to .sell separate pioperty during the con- tinuance of the marriage, in or der to bar an elective life estate aliould the other dissent from the will.
