Wooten Expects

Tascinating Assembly Ahead

Ike *s Farm Program Faces Rough Future In Congress

(Fin in a wrleii of interview* with Pitt Conntys three State Lcfislatnre member*).

By JIBfMY ELU8 Reflector Staff Writer Prank Wooten, one of Pitt Countys two representatives to the 1959 General Assembly, looks for the session opening next Wednesday to be a 'fascinating one, but the future of at least one of his ideas will hinge on action taken before the Assembly officially convenes.

Wooten has proposed that when the AssemWy* Pinanoe and Appropriations committees get down to the business of considering final action on a budget for the 1989-196 biennium, that sub-committees including every mnnber of the House and Senate be appointed to consider proposed alloca

tions for each department of state go\'ernment,

Carl Venters of Onslow County, one Q two candidates for Speaker-fhip of the House of' Reprsente-tives, has committed himself to support of Wootens proposal. The other candidate, Addison Hewlett c? New Hanover County, has not committed himself to the idea.

The idea of sub-committees * to eiudy propo.sed allocations is a new one. In the past, 15-man subcommittees have been named for each of the Finance and Appropriations committees, which* are joint House-Senate groups. That means, in Wooten's way of thinking, that final budgets are determined by 30 members of the 170-member 0n*al Assembly.

Under Wootens proposal, a sub-eommittee would be assigned to study the needs of each department of state government. That would enable, he says, more detailed study of the budget and a more realistic approach to. what is actually needed.

Venters, who claims enough support among the Houses membership for the Speakers, post, has said, according to Wooti, that he will adopt the proposal if he Is elected. And, as Speaker, he would be the man who names the committee structure lit the House of Representatives.

The Importance of sub-commlt-tees can be mwwured, Wooten sajrs, In Bast Carolina Colleges request for establishment of a School of NPrslng. He thinks the school can be ^tablished if a subcommittee charged with determining needs of higher education in the state is set up. .

Otherwise, the request might meet the same fate it got in the J957 General Assembly when the 15-man sub-committee struck it out of the final budget recommendations.

Election of Venters to the Speakership would also practically Insure selection of Wooten for a responsible position on the House Committee on Counties, Cities and Towns.

The Greenville lawjrer, who will be serving his second term in the legislature, was a member of that committee in the 1967 Assembly and was also named by Governor Luther H. Hodges to a special commission for study of municii! proMems.

Wooten has already been designated as the man to guide rec-ommendati(ma of the study commission in the House. Included is one to clarify existing annexation laws, which Wooten says wiU afford more protection for property owners outside municipal limits.

Such l^islatlon, aeccwding to Wooten, will eliminate iwst procedure wherein most annexation* were made through the General Assembly where, he say*, not much consideration can be given to the real needs of a particular problem.

We can, with a revised annexation law, put such decisions where they can be s(rived more intelligently. The decLsions can be made locally, with the jMrofrty owners Involved having more to aay about it. he claims.

Proposals of the munldi! study comml.sslon are classed by Wooten as "among the more important proposals which will come before the As.sembly. Because of his personal association with the study,

he ranks it ahead of suggestions for revising the states court system.

He sajFS, however, of the court-revlsion proposals, They are reflections of new problems caused by the rapid growti North Carolina is experiencing in agriculture and industry, with resulting increase in population.

So far as the proposals future in the Assembly is concerned, Wooten say, We should provide an efficiit and modem inferior court system, under which the number of justices of the peace would be Umited and imid a straight salary. We should take them off a fee basis, and, further, I fed that no court should be operated as a money-making proposition.

V^Ue he attaches prime significance to title municipal study and court revision proposals, Wooten jmts less faith in ideas that the 1959 Assembly will raise state taxes.

*T'm personally opposed to any more taxes, he says, and i think other members of the legislature are to such an extent that there will be no major new taxes. The Assembly, as I see it, will be reluctant to make more than insignificant increases In already existing taxes.

A prmxisal to establish a state system of withholding income taxes docs not hold a completely unquestioned position In Wootens tlioughts.

The idea has a number (rf merits, but there are also serious demerits, he says. It simply means getting a years taxes a year early, and poses the very real possibility of the 1961 General Assembly having to Impose more taxes to take up the slack.

It is, I believe, a stop-gap effort, and nothing more. Governor Hodgm has given his cfflclal support to the withholding projMsal. but crossing Ideas with the Governor will not be new to Wooten. He was not gen-erafly Identified as an administration man in the 1957 Assem-"Wy, although he did support several administration proposals.

Wooten classes himself as a conservative. as opposed to the Governors liberal ideas and the liberal attitudes of Piedmont legislators. His conservative outlook makes him an opponent of several suggested legislative actions, but it doesnt mean that he does not expect the proposals to be made.

Reapportlonment, for instance, drew Wootens opposition In the last AssemWy and it will draw his opposition again during the coming session (he expects It to be offered).

Certainly, I expect the question of reapportlonment to come up, but Im opposed to it. We have a good balance In our government now, and we have had a good, stable government for years under the present apportionment of Representatives and Senators. I attribute that to the influence of small counties throughout the state.

Reapportlonment will give the majority of Representatives and Senators to the fastest growing counties. That is not what is always best.

Although state laws require reapportlonment of the General Assembly after every national census, the Assembly has not reapportioned itself since 1941. Since that time, the states population centers have shifted from the East, which is inclined to be the conservative element In state government. to the Western portion of the state, particularly ttie Piedmont which Is making rapid Industrial development and which has long been identified as the more liberal portion of North Carolina.

Some other proposed legislation has drawn no public commitment from Wootm. Including a minimum wage law. a bond Issue to finance capital Improvements st state Institution*, and another look at the State Highway Commission which was reorganised by the 1957 Assembly.

Although not committed. Wooten (continued on page 10)

WASHINGTON (AP) Preal dent Eisenhower's program to curb farm surpluses and reduce tax-supported agricultural subsidies faced today a seemi;!^ deadend future in Congress.

This was the consensus of congressional reaction to the Presi-ttents special farm message Thursday. It presaged two nwre years of bitter congressional Infighting over farm policy.

It also raised the possibiliiy that Democrats, now in topheaey control of Congress, would invite another presidential veto with a far stronger program than would be acceptable to the administration.

Secretary of Agriculture Benson told a news conference the administration will not send Con

gress a tdll to carry out its rec-onunendations but would be ready to help Congress draft legislation. That put the burden of deciding on changes pretty much up to Congress itself.

The Presidents message, in the most general terms, laid its cWef emphasis on the point that tiu five - billhm-doUar-a-year agricultural program has not worked."

It urged abandonment of the 25-qear-old practice of pegging price support levels to the dollar irity between farm cct and farm prices that existed in the golden years 1920s.

In its stead, the message isro-P(ed pegging price supports to a percentage of the average market price of immediately preceding years.

As sn alternative, Elsenhower ttatloa have brought farmers noth recommended broad discretionary ling but

powers ft* Benson to fix commodity price supports at a level conforming to existing standards. Not s ghost of a chance was the prospect enactment given by Sen. Alien J. EUcnder (D-La), rural Committee.

Sen. Spassard Holland (D*Pla) This is sn antifarm message. declared Chairman Harold Cooley (D-NC) of the House Agriculture Committee.

The message drew some siu>-port. Sen. Clinton P. Anderson former secretary of of agriculture before the agriculture, said it points in the

direction of a sounder farm program, The present program, he said, costs too much and gives too little results.

Sen. Spcssard Holland i-Pla) said high supports and regimen-

grief and loss,

But there was little general a-dorsement of the program, even from Republicans,

Sen. Milton R. Young (R-ND) said he had read the Presidents message with great disappointment and considerable disgust. Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D-hfinn) called the recommendations a tragU) failure of executive responsibility.

Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas. Senate Democratic leader, tersely said Congress will produce a workable farm program

Virginia

Integrating Its Schools

RICHMOND. Va. (AP) Officials make preparations today for Mondays opening in Norfolk and Arlington of Virginias first Integrated public schools. Charlottcs-vilie got a delay.

A group of segregationists sought a test of legislative power with the state administration.

A rapid-fire series of events Thursday brought these developments on a broad front sb*etchlng from Baltimore, Md.. to Norfolk:

1. Judge Simon E. Sobeloff of the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals refused to stay a lower court order directing the admission of four Negro pupils Mondgy to Stratford Junior High School in Arlington.

He did, however, grant Charlottesville a temporary postpone ment of its desegregation ordri*.

Sobeloff told the CharlttesviUe School Board to submit within 20 days to U.8. Dist. Judge John Paul a plan which the board proposes to bridge the gap between segregated and Integrated classrooms. If Judge Paul feels the plan Is a full step toward compliance with the desegregation order, then the school board has until next September to accomplish complete integration.

2, School officials in Norfolk announced plans to reopen six white secondary schools, closed since September, on an Integrated basis Monday and called on the public to show sincere understanding and cooperation to assure! smooth, orderly opening. . .

3. Gov. J. Lindsay Almond Jr. rejected the appeals of a segregationist bloc In Uie General Assembly for approval of emergency legislation that would delay the integration plans In Norfolk and ArllngUm.

A showdown between the no-integration forces and the Almond administration appeared imminent in the Legislature. At the same time, Alexandria school officials were called on to defend in federal court their rejection of 14 Negro applicaUcms for admission to white K:hools.

Pressure was brought to bear, too. on Warren County school authorities for the reopening of the white Warren County High School at Front Royal. It was closed In September along with the six Norfolk school* and two in Chariottes-vUle by state anti-integration laws since ruled unconsUtuUonal.

Seventeen Negro pupils are expected to enter the six Norfolk schools. Counsel fcn* the pupils said all would report Monday to the schools to which they were assigned.

Some 60 cities in the southeastern section of the United States are undertaking urban renewal programs, R. V. Connerat, North Carolina and Georgia field representative for the Urban Renewal Administration said last night.

Connerat was speaking at an informational meeting held in City Hall for city counclimen, Planning-Zoning commissioners, members of the new Redevelopment Commission and interested citlxens.

'The urban renewal program offers cities a chance to go into whole areas and obtain FHA help to bring the whole area up to a standard that will maintain pro* perty value.

As he understood it, Connerat said, the area chosen by this city was not really completely gone." It was choeen for that reason, he told the group.

In early planning, the city has chosen an area bounded by W. Fifth St., Albemarle Ave., Spruce St, and Ford Street for redevelopment work.

The federal government will furnish $3 for every $1 pent by the city In bringing the area up to standard. An over-all plan for developing the area would be prepared for the section if plans progress and dwellings which could be brought up to standard would remain.

Special loans would be available to jjToperty owners for renovation work.

Houses which could not be

purchased from the property owners and demolished. The original cwners would have first option to buy back property in the complete area.

No houses would be built by the city. The property would be old to private owners who In turn would construct housing which meets standards set up by the city,

The Redevelopment Commission will acquire only such pro perty as It must, Comierat said. If structures can be re-hibilitated by present owners they will be left as is."

Connerat hrard questions concerning home owners in the ch(ftn area who wculd be displaced by the project *nd who would be unable to construct a dwelling that met requirements in the completed area.

Its n<H. an easy thing to do. Connerat told the group. Its most difficult. I think everyone realises that."

However, he said such problems ore being worked <mt every day in 60 citle* of the southeast which have such programs and by hundreds of other cities across the nation.

Pointing to the area chosen by Greenville for redevelopment, Ckm-nerat said. I suspect you are not looking at a profit area as far as the city is concerned. But it can be made into such an area. That's what urban renewal is about.

The official told a Mwsman. we will have some operatlenal capability then but that a full squadron of about 10 missiles probably wl not be ready for sev-stand. eral months after that.

FAIRBANKS. Alaska (AP)-Be-wUdered tnit proud, two veteran Air Force test pilots were trying to digest today the news that they might soon swap their supersonic jet planes for a spaceship.

Capt. Tom Bogan, 35, and Capt. WUllam Bradbury, 33, were informed Thursday that they had been chosen with IM other men as candidates for mans first venture to outer space.

Their names were the first to be released after U; spacemen program was announced Tuesday by Keith Olennan, UB. space chief.

It was pretty hard to believe, Bogan said. Bradbury nodded in agreement.

The two pilots were interviewed by news director Ken Conner of radio sUtion KFRB, who had

Authorities In both communiUe* warned they would b prepared for any trouble that might develop.

Air Foret officials confirmed it.

Bogan and Bradbury are on temporary duty at Eielson Air Force Base near here, from Wright Patterson AFB. Dayton, Ohio.

Bogan files a FlOS in sub-sero temtmmtura tests. Bradbury

speed tests a FIOIB.

Bogan of Goodland, Ind., and Bradbury, who haUs from Houston. Tex., told Conner they have bad no special training as yet for the space venture. But both have more than double the required I,S(X) flying hours and are within the maximum height of 5 feet II Inches.

The two pilots are married but their wives do not yet know of their husband's candidacy as spacemen. Bogan said he has been trying to reach his wife, who is visiting in London. Ont. Both women live at Dayton.

Will Bogan and Bradbury accept the chance to view the earth as a Uny globe?

I would have to know more atXHit the project, Bradbury said. He pointed out that the 12 finalists W(Mjld have a chance to decline. Both said they dont know too much about the project.
