Biographical/historical information

Frank Marion Wooten Jr. ( 3 May 1916-30 June 1992) was the son of Frank M. Wooten and Elizabeth Hampton (Wade) Wooten. He attended East Carolina College and the University of N.C. Law School, after which he joined his father's law practice in Greenville. Governor Luther Hodges appointed Wooten a member of the N.C. House of Representatives for the special session of 1956 after the resignation of Sam O. Worthington. Reelected in 1957, Wooten served through the session of 1961, after which he returned to the private practice of law. He was elected Mayor of Greenville for the 1969-1971 term.


Scope and arrangement

Legislative correspondence for the special session of 1956 concerns topics primarily surrounding segregation and desegregation. Letters provide constituent views on public school segregation and the collateral issue of state funding of private schools, controversy surrounding segregation, and causes of conflict as well as the possible effect of desegregation has on educators. Letters pertain to the Pearsall and PTA plans of desegregation, and the Governor's Commission for the Public Schools. A letter (18 April 1956) explains Wooten's opposition to a tobacco tax.

Legislative material includes proposed bills pertaining to desegregation, a report (undated) entitled "A Report to the N.C. Legislature by a group of Representative Negro Citizens...," an outline of eight proposed bills advocated by the Pearsall Education Committee (23 July 1956), recommendations on school reorganization, and a resolution from the office of power by the Supreme Court (August 1956).

Pamphlets of interest in the 1956 legislative series consist of editorials from the Richmond News Leader concerning interposition (1955-1956), and The Pearsall Plan to Save Our Schools (1956). An address before the civic clubs of Edgecombe County concerns anti-integration sentiments.

Legislative correspondence for the 1957 General Assembly concerns both major and minor issues. The bulk of the material consists of constituent letters advocating teachers' and state employees' salary increases. Many of these discuss bad teaching conditions resulting from inadequate salaries. The related issue of food or sales taxes to raise revenue also receives much attention. Numerous letters concern the effort to establish the East Carolina School of Nursing. Related letters concern efforts to increase appropriations for the Pitt County Mental Health Center. ECU-related letters pertain to the salary of President John Messick, the appropriation needs of ECU, the difficulties encountered by the school because of lack of funds, and an accusation by Messick that the University system maintained a double standard with ECU. A letter (January 1957) from Dean Henry Brandis outlines critical needs of the UNC Law School.

Several letters pertain to the imbroglio involving the development of the Morehead City port instead of the Wilmington port. Other topics of interest include a proposed automobile financial responsibility act, a proposed alteration in the Greenville City Charter affecting mayoral elections, the non-par banking controversy, and Charlotte, N.C., corporate limit extension.

A letter (13 May 1957) pertains to five proposed United States Constitutional amendments. Letters pertaining to N.C. courts comment on opposition to a justice of the peace selection in Greenville, N.C. (November 1956), an alteration of court terms (March 1957), and an increase in salaries of justices of the peace (March 1957). A letter from Governor Hodges comments on the need of court reform in North Carolina (May 1957).

Crime- and punishment-related topics include control of prearranged racing (7 March 1957), shoplifting (23 March 1957), pornography (2 April; 27 May, encl to May 21), and boats speeding on the Tar River (May 1957).

Form letters from the N.C. Democratic Executive Committee pertain to the national election of 1958. Letters pertain to the General Assembly speakership attempts of several aspirants.

Tax-related issues include a schedule of beer and wine excise taxes allocations (November 1956), a surtax on beer (4 June 1957), the negative effect of a tax on tobacco (October 1956), and a gasoline tax (18 March 1957).

Issues related to social problems include a letter advocating an alcoholic rehabilitation center with ancillary comments on the rehabilitation of alcoholics (12 March 1957). Letters pertaining to tourism complain of the pollution of the Tuckasegee River and its effect on tourism and local health conditions (March 1957). Another constituent opposes the expenditure of federal funds to sponsor businesses potentially competitive with established businesses (April 1957). Numbers of letters pertain to the implementation of daylight savings time (March, May 1957).

Other issues include Greenville Tobacco Company's advocation of the development of a port at Morehead City (4 March 1957), and opposition to a proposed requirement that tobacco manufacturers label packages (5 April 1957).

Legislative material includes proposed drafts of bills as well as various printed bills. Files pertain to general revenue and appropriations, and to appropriations for ECU. Other legislative material includes reports, petitions, resolutions, lobby material, bulletins, periodicals, and municipal records concerning Fountain, Greenville, and Bethel.

Legislative Session, 1959, correspondence relates to non-par banking, a legislative program for public education, increase in teachers' salaries, appropriations for the various state agencies, automobile financial responsibility, ECU budget and Nursing School, and a crown tax on soft drinks. Particular letters of interest (13 February 1959) discuss and suggest solutions for the problem of bastardy; comment on collective bargaining being made illegal by public employees (5 March 1959), and discuss the activities of the Municipal Government Study Commission (24 March 1959).

Correspondence for the 1961 General Assembly consists of similar legislative issues. Wooten chaired the Judiciary #1 Committee; and issues such as court reform, legislative reapportionment, and a state constitutional amendment to enlarge the Senate comprise important topics of discussion. Other legislative issues include compulsory automobile insurance, consumer finance, and regulation of "shell" homes. In a letter (20 February 1961) a Florida state legislator opposes the twenty-third amendment to give representation to the District of Columbia because the Black population held the majority in the area. Letters (January, April 1961) outline the appropriation needs of Pembroke State University. A letter (April 1961) discusses a plan to divert the "floundering" South from socialism. A similar letter (undated encl. to 19 May 1961) comments on the John Birch Society, socialism, and communism. Other letters (June 1961) pertain to the issue of capital punishment.

Later material includes a summary of estimated cash requirements and available cash in Pitt County (1951), as well as a list for election of registrars and judges for Pitt County (1954).

Several letters pertain to Wooten's notification of parents that their sons had been captured by Germans, which he learned from shortwave radio transmissions (1943). Other letters pertain to the General Assembly speakership campaign of Carl Venters (1959). A letter from Chancellor J. D.Messick concerns ECU and the future nursing school (July 1958). Another letter discusses the problems and responsibilities of a legal secretary (March 1961).

Included in the Wooten papers is a folder of Frank M. Wooten Sr. correspondence (1917, 1923-1941, undated). Most of the letters concern Wooten family genealogy.
