In the absence of Representative Joe Eagles of the 14th District, the following

journal. Representative Eagles is seated.
OATH OF MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
"I, Joe E. Eagles, do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution and
Laws of the United States; and I solemnly and sincerely swear that I will be
faithful and bear true allegiance to the State of North Carolina, and to the
constitutional powers and authorities which are or may be established for the
government thereof; and that I will endeavor to support, maintain, and defend
the Constitution of said State, not inconsistent with the Constitution of the
United States, to the best of my knowledge and ability; and I do further solemn-
ly swear that I will faithfully discharge my duties as a member of the House of
Representatives of the State of North Carolina according to the best of my
skill and ability and according to law, so help me, God."
S/ Joe E. Eagles
Sworn to and subscribed before me this 15th day of January, 1969.
S/ Thad Eure
Secretary of State
One hundred eighteen members having answered the roll call, the Secretary
of State declares a quorum is present.
The Secretary of State announces that the first order of business is the election
of a Speaker, and declares the nominations are in order:
ELECTION OF OFFICERS
Representative Johnson of Wake places in nomination the name of Repre-
sentative Earl W. Vaughn for Speaker of the 1969 House of Representatives.
"Mr. Chairman, honored guests, fellow members of the House of Repre-
sentatives:
Today, January 15, 1969, is the beginning of a chapter in the history of North
Carolina.
Today, by virtue of the power granted by the Constitution of North Carolina,
the members of the House of Representatives are assembled in chambers and
have taken their oath of office to begin the labor and to assume the responsibility
imposed in this body by the people of our State.
A few minutes ago each of you said: 'I do solemnly and sincerely swear
that I will faithfully, truly, and honestly perform my duties as a member of
the House of Representatives of the North Carolina General Assembly to
the best of my knowledge and ability. . . .'
The first order of business is the election of a Speaker and it is my particular
pleasure and privilege to place in nomination in behalf of the Democratic caucas
our good friend and colleague from Rockingham County.
16 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
It is fitting and appropriate that the record show his outstanding qualifications
for this high office. After all, the General Assembly of North Carolina is a most
powerful body, and it alone makes the laws for our State.
And it is fitting and proper that we assume this responsibility with a solemn
oath to bear true allegiance to the citizens of this State without regard to wealth,
population, geography, national origin, color or creed but that we act with good
judgment, goodwill and understanding in behalf of all our citizens.
The least of us and the greatest of us have an equal obligation; the Democrats
and the Republicans must work side by side; the freshman member and the
veteran legislator must share an equal concern for the welfare of our State.
Earl W. Vaughn of Rockingham County can and will lead us to great heights
of legislative achievement in 1969.
His heritage is deep in the history of North Carolina.
Earl Vaughn was born and reared on a family farm in Rockingham County,
the son of the late John H. and Lelia F. Vaughn.
The sun was shining bright on June 17, 1928, just over 40 years ago, as our
next Speaker began the long road which brings him to the pinnacle of his many
achievements.
After completing high school, he enrolled at Pfeiffer Junior College, and then
fulfilled his military service for two years in the Pacific area.
In 1947 he enrolled at the University of North Carolina, receiving his A. B.
degree in 1950 and his law degree in 1952.
Several of us today remember the happy days at Chapel Hill.
Life began to blossom during those years at the University, where he met a
young lady who was attending the University, and who lived a short distance
from Chapel Hill.
I had the happy privilege of seeing the romance blossom, and to share with
Earl and Eloise the youthful adventure and excitement of the college scene.
I remember the wedding day on December 20, 1952, when Earl and Eloise
were married in the little church north of Chapel Hill.
Before very long this young attorney and his bride moved to Draper, now
known as Eden, in Rockingham County, where Earl began a successful career
in law, and fulfilled abundantly the needs of community service.
Listen to some of his achievements:
He is a member of the Rockingham County Bar Association, the Phi Delta
Phi Legal Fraternity, the North Carolina State Bar and the North Carolina
Bar Association.
He is a member and past President of the Draper Rotary Club.
He is a member and past President of the Tri-City Rescue Squad.
He is a former solicitor of the Leaksville Recorder's Court.
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 17
He has been Town Attorney for Draper from 1955 until 1968, and was a
moving force in the consolidation of Leaksville, Spray and Draper into the new
City of Eden.
He is a member and past President of the Rockingham County Young
Democratic Club.
He is a former member of the Rockingham County Democratic Executive
Committee.
He is a Methodist, has been a member of the Board of Trustees of his Church
since 1955, and has served as Chairman of the Official Board of the Methodist
Church in Draper.
May I pause a moment, to depart from civic, professional or political achieve-
ments to recognize his most outstanding achievement — -his family.
They have contributed so much, and have given him the inspiration and
fortitude that is needed as he faces the problems of State.
In 1960 there was a lively campaign in Rockingham County in the Demo-
cratic Primary for a seat in the House of Representatives, and Earl Vaughn was
the victor. Since that time he has served continuously, in the special sessions,
and in the regular sessions of 1961, 1963, 1965 and 1967.
I know that he received overwhelming support in his campaign for re-election
to this session, and that he scored more votes than has been recorded for a candi-
date in the history of Rockingham County.
I shall now dwell briefly upon his legislative service, because this is the basis
upon which we primarily judge our choice for Speaker.
In 1965 he was Chairman of the Utilities Committee, and that was a land-
mark year toward resolving the big question of public and private power in
North Carolina. As Committee Chairman Earl Vaughn helped hammer out
and present this successful program.
In 1967 he was Chairman of the Committee on Courts and Judicial Districts,
which was responsible for implementing Constitutional reforms in the establish-
ment of the Court of Appeals, and in the further implementation of changes in
the trial division.
There are literally dozens of legislative matters that he has handled during
his tenure.
Anyone of you who has served with him could testify to his accomplishments
in the legislative chambers.
What you do not know, perhaps, is the fact that he has labored diligently
since the last session in thinking about changes that are needed, and in attending
to legislative business as a member of the Legislative Research Commission,
or serving as our representative on national boards.
Since 1963 he has been a member of the Board of Managers of the Council
of State Government, working with other legislative leaders across the country
to strengthen state government, and to bring about greater co-operation between

He has been particularly effective in the Southern Region of this Council,
consisting of 16 states, and has been honored as the first chairman from North
Carolina of the Southern Region, in the history of that organization.
In 1968 he was elected to the Executive Committee of the Conference of
National Legislative Leaders.
He has been nominated recently for one of the three seats that are open to
House Speakers on the President's Commission on Governmental Co-operation.
In the closing hours of the 1967 Session, Earl Vaughn received the distinction
of being named successor to the Honorable David M. Britt, and since that day
he has served as your Speaker, in handling the numerous duties of this office.
At a personal sacrifice to his business, he has made numerous trips to Raleigh,
and worked long hours in attending to these duties.
I have seen this firsthand, and have seen him work late into the night.
We have the assurance that comes only from a record of service that Earl
Vaughn will lead us in the days ahead with the confidence and the ability that
comes from a man who believes in the future of our State, and has a deep trust
in Divine Providence and who will be your most diligent leader.
From the banks of the Dan River in Rockingham County to the splendor and
grace of this legislative hall comes our next Speaker.
Mr. Chairman, honored guests, fellow members of the House of Repre-
sentatives, I humbly nominate the best qualified man available for Speaker of
the 1969 House of Representatives, the Honorable Earl W. Vaughn, of Rocking-
ham County."
S/ Samuel H. Johnson
Representative from
Wake County
The nomination is seconded by Representatives Godwin of Gates, Barbee
and Taylor of Transylvania:
"Mr. Secretary of State and members of the 1969 House of Representatives:
It is a distinct honor for me to come before you to second the monination of
the Honorable Earl Vaughn of Rockingham County for the 1969 Speaker of
the House of Representatives. Earl and I served as freshmen in the 1961
Session and have served together in each session and special session since that
date; therefore, I have had the opportunity to observe him working in the
legislature, not only for the county and district which he represented, but for
the progress and growth of our great State. I have had the pleasure of serving
on committees of which he was the chairman and have seen firsthand his ability
to express fairness in his decisions and character in his conduct. Many of you
will recall the difficult task which he faced when he was Chairman of the Com-
mittee on Utilities in 1965 and the forthright manner in which he conducted
„the business before that committee. You will also recall that in 1967, as Chair-
man of the Committee on Courts and Judicial Districts, he brought before this
House a most difficult and complex package of legislation dealing with our
court structure and handled this matter on the floor of the House in a manner
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 19
in which he gained the confidence of those lay members who did not understand
the technical ramifications of the bill. It is through his ability to gain the con-
fidence of his fellow members through his honesty and fairness of mind that
has brought him before us today and has placed him in nomination for the
high honor that is bestowed upon the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
He possesses all of the qualifications needed to fulfill the honor that this House
is about to bestow upon him. From the time of his graduation from the
University of North Carolina Law School in 1952, he has been a leader in his
native county of Rockingham. He has taken a great interest in the develop-
ment and growth of his county. He has devoted his time to his profession and
to the civic organizations of which he is a member. He is admired with great
esteem by fellow members of his profession. He has developed over the years
a keen sense of responsibility to his political party, keeping in mind its re-
sponsibility to good and responsible government in the State of North Carolina.
Earl Vaughn has taken advantage of all of the opportunities to equip him-
self with the knowledge and background that we should demand of our leader
and Speaker. I can assure you that he will always be willing to listen and that
he will never use the authority bestowed upon him to the detriment of any
member of this House.
It is my personal opinion that one of Earl's greatest and finest assets is his
gracious wife, Eloise Maddrey Vaughn, and their four fine children. I know
that their hearts must be touched with pride for this day in the life of their
husband and father."
S/ Philip P. Godwin
"Mr. Chairman, Justices, honored guests, Mrs. Vaughn and members of
the House:
There were over 40 new members of the 1961 Representatives including Earl
Vaughn, Phil Godwin, Thorne Gregory, and myself, and when the session got
started the old-timers, such as Jim Vogler, Ernest Hicks, and Dwight Quinn,
began to refer to us as the Class of 1961.
It was easy to see at that time that Earl Vaughn would emerge as one of
that group who would make a name for himself if he continued to represent
his county and his district in the House of Representatives.
Today — five sessions later — I can count less than a half dozen of the old-
timers who greeted us in 1961 who are still around. Of the ones who they refer
to as the Class of 1961, there are less than a dozen still here. I am glad that
Earl Vaughn is still around and glad to be here myself to second his nomination
for Speaker of the House.
His accomplishments during past sessions have already been enumerated and
there is no need to go into further detail. Suffice it to say that Earl Vaughn
has been instrumental in getting some of the most important legislation passed
that has been introduced during those years I am talking about.
I think it is evident to those who have had a chance to look around as we
prepare for the 1969 Session to see that preparations have been made for a
busy and fruitful session which show that our next Speaker has been busy.
It has been predicted that this will be the toughest and hardest session since
20 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
depression days, and I think I can safely say that the House work in this session
will be well taken care of under the guidance of Earl Vaughn.
I am glad that we have a man like Earl Vaughn to lead us, and am proud and
happy to second his nomination of Speaker for the 1969 House."
S/ Allen C. Barbbe
"I rise as leader of the Republican House delegation and on behalf of the
Republican House delegation to second the nomination of Representative Earl
Vaughn as Speaker of the House of Representatives. The problems coming
before the General Assembly in the coming months will demand a maximum
effort of work and cooperation.
The Republican delegation intends to put before this body, as we have in the
past, progressive programs to cope with the State's problems and needs — we
expect and believe we will receive the support of this body in the passage of
much of that legislation.
Ladies and gentlemen of the House, it is because of our trust in the qualifi-
cations of Representative Earl Vaughn; because of our trust in the justice and
fair attitude of Representative Earl Vaughn; and because of our desire to work
in a climate of cooperation that I, as leader of the Republican House delegation,
second the nomination of Representative Earl Vaughn as Speaker of the 1969
House of Representatives."
S/ Charles Taylor

1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 21
"I, Earl W. Vaughn, do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution
of the United States, and I do solemnly and sincerely swear that I will be faith-
ful and bear true allegiance to the State of North Carolina and to the con-
stitutional powers and authorities which are or may be established for the
government thereof; and that I will endeavor to support, maintain, and defend
the Constitution of said State not inconsistent with the Constitution of the
United States, to the best of my knowledge and ability; and I do solemnly and
sincerely swear that I will well and truly and faithfully execute and discharge
the duties of the Office of Speaker of the House of Representatives of the North
Carolina General Assembly according to the best of my skill and ability, ac-
cording to law; so help me, God."
S/ Earl W. Vaughn
Oath administered January 15, 1969.
Sworn to and subscribed before me this 15th day of January, 1969.
S/ Susie Sharp
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina
Mr. Speaker Vaughn approaches the dais and makes the following remarks:
"Thank you so very much, my good friends and colleagues.
The warmth of your welcome increases my determination to, at all times,
conduct myself in this high office in a manner that will bring credit to the office
and to the House of Representatives.
You, along with me, assume office in a critical time.
The Federal-State System is on trial. State Government is on trial, and the
Legislative Branch of State Government is on trial.
In fact, just a few years ago there were many who seriously contended that
State Government was no longer capable of meeting the complex problems of
the day; that it was outmoded and had no place in the future.
Fortunately, concerted effort has recently been made to reverse this trend
and give new life to State Government.
The upgrading of the Legislative Branch of State Government is absolutely
imperative if State Government is to survive and remain a viable force of
government, capable of dealing with the complexities of the modern society.
If we do not modernize our procedure so that we can solve North Carolina's
problems in North Carolina, then the erosion by the federal process will become
an avalanche.
The challenge to us is clear. It is to develop a Legislature capable of acting
on problems rather than belatedly reacting under pressure of other units of
government.
I believe, along with Jefferson, 'that laws and institutions must go hand in
hand with the progress of the human mind.' I believe that we can maintain
our proper respect for tradition and custom, and, at the same time, advance
our institutions to keep pace with the times.
22 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
To this end I hope that this Legislature will develop tools and procedures
that are as modern as this relatively new Legislative building.
We've tried to make a start on this development for you. For instance:
(1) The Legislative Branch of government in this great State of over five
million people with a projected budget of over three billion dollars now has its
first fulltime employee. His primary responsibility will be to help the General
Assembly develop its own research capability.
(2) In addition, for the first time, professional bill drafting assistance is
available to you in this building.
(3) We have also arranged for professional staff assistance for the local
government committee. This staff assistance will be available to any of you
when you need help with your local bills or bills involving local government,
generally.
(4) The Legislative Intern Program which was started a few years ago with
foundation funds will, this session, be funded by and responsible to the General
Assembly.
(5) A Computer Operation has been instigated. Hopefully, its application
to the Legislative process will continue to develop over the years.
(6) In an effort to give you more time for your very important responsibili-
ties as a lawmaker, we have tried to improve the services available to you in
a number of other areas which I will not detail at this time.
With your permission we will reduce the size and number of committees.
With your permission we will make fundamental changes in the operation of
the Appropriations Committee. More of you will be involved in the budget-
making process. You will be able to give the budget much more careful scrutiny
than has been possible in the past. I hope you will be able to question and to
probe, and, thereby, effect savings and efficiencies. The plan we have recom-
mended might not be the very best one that could be devised. I'm sure it
isn't. If, however, I have understood you correctly, most of you are no longer
willing to tolerate the old system. I'm sure that there will be problems with
our new plans for the Appropriations Committee. Any time you involve more
people and allow them to openly express their views, you invite dissent and make
a common judgment more difficult to attain. I submit, however, that here
lies the bedrock of democracy. This is what a government of free people is all
about.
At this point let me say this to you. If, at any time, any of you have sug-
gestions about the matters I have related, they will be welcomed. If, at any
time, it is your collective judgment that they should be changed, they will be
changed.
Now there are two components which will be absolutely necessary for a
successful session. We are unable to provide these for you. I hope you brought
them from home. They are: (1) courage and (2) a willingness to work.
This is going to be a difficult session. The better job we do, the more difficult
the session. If we simply ratify or reject the requests of the multitude of agencies
and special interests, we can have an easy time of it. Things will run smoothly.
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 23
We can have a cross of gold speech every Monday night and, after several
months of mutual admiration, top it all off with the traditional love feast and
then go home.
On the other hand: if we innovate, if we probe, if we seek out and consider
alternatives, and, if we make the legislative Branch of government a positive
and creative force in State Government our task will be much harder.
I suggest that the latter course is the one that people of North Carolina have
the right to expect us to follow. We are going to have to make decisions that
for the present day appear to be very unpopular, but which, in the long run,
will prove to have been absolutely necessary to the continuing progress of our
beloved State.
If we are to do what must be done, we cannot subscribe to the credo of
Boston's notorious Mayor Curley, who used to love to say, 'There go my people,
I must follow them because I am their leader.'.
Again, let me thank you for your confidence. I pledge you my very best."
Mr. Speaker Vaughn assumes the duties of the Chair and announces that

call vote, taken alphabetically.
(b) Every member who is in the hall of the House when the question is put
shall give his vote upon a call of the ayes and noes, unless the House for special
reasons shall excuse him and no application to be excused from voting or to

the order of precedence in which bills may be considered.

LEGISLATIVE MESSAGE
OF
GOVERNOR ROBERT W. SCOTT
January 22, 1969
The State Legislative Building
Raleigh, North Carolina
12:30 p. m., Wednesday, January 22, 1969
"Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chief Justice and members of the General
Assembly of North Carolina:
The people of North Carolina have elected us to formulate the programs that
will give impetus to this State in the decade of the Seventies and into the
future — programs to lead to the good life.
At the outset, we might as well face the fact that this will be, at the least, a
challenging session.
We are reaching a point where the level of expectations is rising at a rate that
outstrips our capacity to provide them without imposing on ourselves a greater
burden of stewardship to the State.
We want better schools. We all want our children to be well taught. We
want them to start their education at an earlier age and continue it beyond the
high school.
We want our schools to tailor programs to fit the need of every child — the
mentally fast and the mentally slow; the student going on to college and the
student who wants to prepare now for an occupation.
We are living in an affluent age, but many are left out of the abundance — the
mentally and physically handicapped, the children of deprived backgrounds,
the aged. Many families live on inadequate incomes.
Sections of our State are awaiting to move out economically and industrially.
They want and need roads and community facilities to hasten the day.
Thousands living in North Carolina today will celebrate the year 2000 — -the
advent of a new century. We need to make the wisest use of our resources.
We need a unified effort. We need to modernize and streamline government.
North Carolina has always met the challenge. We have felt no resistance to
progressive change. In fact, we have sought it and we have benefitted by it.
The people of North Carolina have elected you and me to see that the State
does what clearly must be done if we are to meet the challenge of the year 2000.
We must act now to put the essentials of a good life within reach of every citizen.
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 53
INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS
At this moment, there seems to be little doubt that the biggest challenge of
the next decade will be a struggle to improve our environment.
It will be an effort to conserve and better utilize our natural resources. There
will be a great concern to halt air and water pollution; an attempt to banish
hunger and an effort to remove blight.
Communities will seek more public facilities to stimulate economic and in-
dustrial development. Roads and streets, thoroughfares and rapid transit
systems will be built to move people and commerce and hopefully make trans-
portation and travel more safe.
At a time when all levels of government are experiencing unprecedented
demands for services, we must recognize that all governmental goals are in-
terrelated.
Only by close, coordinated interaction with the Federal Government and with
local governments can the State achieve its goals of better government for all
its people. Only through partnership with the State can local governments
provide the services its citizens demand.
One of the highest priorities during this session and the next four years should
be efforts to build an effective working partnership between all levels of govern-
ment.
I believe we will see efforts during the next four years to place greater re-
sponsibility on the State, particularly in the State's relationships with local
governments.
There are many areas where a better partnership is needed if the State, the
cities, the towns and the counties are going to meet the needs of North Caro-
linians where they live, work and play.
In our urban areas, there are problems of income and housing that only the
State and municipalities can solve together. There are problems as well in
rural areas, and, in many respects, the needs of North Carolina are greater in
the rural areas.
I will ask for your support in developing programs that will build a partner-
ship between the State and the communities.
Among these programs will be a request later in this session for a new depart-
ment of State government. It will be established for the primary purpose of
aiding and assisting local governments to meet local needs.
It will not be the most expensive program — in terms of appropriations — that
you and I will be asked to undertake during this session and the next four years.
The nucleus for such a department already exists within the State. What is
needed now is to bring together in one place — hopefully under one roof — and
under one administration already existing services which are relevant to modern
problems of community life.
Not only will my proposed department actively aid communities, it will in
the long-run increase efficiency in State government. It will be a service or-
54 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
ganization whereby the full resources of the State can be called upon by com-
munities for assistance within the entire spectrum of community problems.
Let me stress: it will be a service organization and not a regulatory agency.
The department will be staffed by individuals — many of whom are already
employed by the State although others will be needed — who have ideas and
know how in housing, community redevelopment, economic development, local
taxation and capital planning, land use and development, local and regional
planning and recreation planning.
In addition to technical assistance, this department will reap some tangible
benefits to the State. It will become an important link in Federal-State and
local programs. It will strengthen the hand of every local government in making
full and intelligent use of all available assistance programs.
State Government must be strengthened, particularly in its relation to the
Federal Government. I intend to work with the Governors of other states to
enable the states to have a stronger voice and a greater influence in the Federal
system.
We will go to Washington to solicit our fair share and we will not overlook
any program. Many assistance programs go untapped, even though they are
available to us, simply because we have not made a maximum effort.
To enable the State to take advantage of worthwhile programs that may
come along during the biennium, I will request a reserve fund for matching
grants. This will be a sum of money set aside to be used, upon the approval of
the Advisory Budget Commission, for matching Federal grants in which the
State feels it should participate.
PUBLIC EDUCATION
Today, more than at any time in our history, North Carolina has the op-
portunity, challenge and responsibility of providing a full educational opportu-
nity for every child in the public schools — as well as every child who should be
in our classrooms.
The opportunity and the task that confronts all of North Carolina is finding
the means of implementing and financing a new adventure in public education.
During the past 12 months, more than 500 North Carolinians representing
all areas of the State and the major groups involved in public education have
studied and proposed for our State the goal of a child well taught.
In the broadest sense, this goal means that every boy and girl will learn how
to live and how to make a living. That is what education is all about.
State and local governments must be committed to providing the resources
that are needed to close the gaps in our public school system. Local govern-
ments must take the initiative to see that a comprehensive education is available
to every child.
In many areas this means the merger of school districts and the consolidation
of schools. It means in some cases that local governments must do a better job
of financing school programs. At the State level our administrative structure
must assure a bold, unified endeavor in public education.
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 55
The task ahead of us is a big one, but we must begin. I am recommending
to you:
First, that you firmly establish the State Board of Education as the policy
formation agency for public education and that the Board be given the power to
appoint the Superintendent of Public Instruction. In addition, — the Board
should be given the authority to adopt criteria for merging school districts and
to consolidate schools to achieve sound educational programs in all areas of the
State.
Second, that financial support of public education be recognized as a cooper-
ative State, local and federal effort, and that local units be encouraged to pro-
vide basic minimum participation. I endorse the principal of State incentive
funds to match local funds which are committed beyond the basic program.
Third, North Carolina must make some major alterations in its instructional
program if it is to offer a truly meaningful education to every child.
As a top priority we must see that every child has a good beginning in his
educational career. A poor beginning often shows up later in low marks, drop-
outs and juvenile delinquency. I recommend that you extend public education
to five-year olds. We should begin with an initial effort extended over a period
of several years to serve all kindergarten age children in the State.
I will recommend increased appropriations to offer occupational guidance and
training to more students than are currently being reached in our vocational
programs.
Vocational training needs to be stressed and strengthened in the middle
grades, for it may offer many young people their best means of preparing for
effective competition in the job market. It may also provide invaluable in-
centive for potential dropouts to stay in school.
Means should be sought to attract more students who need special induce-
ment into a diversified vocational program. Too few of our schools now have
student bodies large enough to justify a strong program. Still, effective pro-
grams can become a reality by school consolidation or other means of offsetting
the handicap of small school units.
Fourth, nothing is more important to our goal of a child well taught than the
quality of teacher provided. Our schools must be staffed with competent,
dedicated people. We must take meaningful strides toward paying teachers
the national salary average.
In return for higher salaries, we will expect a renewed dedication from all
teachers. At the same time, we must seek solutions to reducing heavy class-
room loads.
Fifth, transportation for school children with special needs and a more flexible
transportation service to accommodate special programs is needed.
Further, public school bus transportation should be extended to include
urban and suburban children. As long as the State assumes responsibility for
school transportation, with all tax payers supporting it, this service should not
be limited to rural children who live more than one and one-half miles from
school.
56 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
HIGHER EDUCATION
Higher education is another area which must have sustained support. The
needs in higher education are many.
Attention must be given to strengthening faculty salaries in all State-sup-
ported institutions. There is the pressing need to train more people in the
medical and medically related areas and to upgrade library facilities at all in-
stitutions of higher learning.
The role of the traditionally Negro institutions must be expanded in the
years ahead and special attention given to salaries and remedial assistance in
these institutions.
Although I have said many times that not all young people can or should
attend a college or university, there are many who should but are not doing so.
A relatively low percentage of our students now continue their education be-
yond the high school.
To effectively reach them will require an expansion of the campuses of our
existing institutions of higher learning.
Our university must grow physically as the demand increases. But I feel
there is a limit in the student population of a given campus which should not
be surpassed for effective administration and instruction. Nevertheless, if we
follow the philosophy of making a university education available to academi-
cally qualified students, it is inevitable that the campus expand. I believe the
wise course is for this expansion to occur in other areas of the State. For this
reason, I favor the extension of the university system to include Wilmington
and Asheville-Biltmore Colleges.
Privately supported colleges and universities play an important role in the
total higher education program in North Carolina. These institutions educate
many students, the cost of which would otherwise have to be borne by the
State. Yet, many of the church-related, non-tax supported institutions face
financial hardships.
I recommend, as does the recent study on higher education, a special study
to consider a State-wide student assistance program.
COMMUNITY COLLEGES, TECHNICAL INSTITUTES
I cannot over-emphasize the importance of the community colleges and
technical institutes to our overall program of post-high school training. The
50 institutions in this system have grown rapidly, this year enrolling more than
189,000 students. They have done a remarkable job in both technical and
vocational instruction and college parallel programs.
It is through these institutions that we can make a greater effort to reach
more people — both adults and high school graduates.
In the technical institutes and community colleges, greater emphasis should
be placed on vocational opportunities. Programs should be broadened in this
area. They should be developed in coordination with occupational education
in the public schools. And this training should be made more relevant to the
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 57
economy of the State. The emphasis should be on the skills demanded by-
industry, especially the better-paying industrial and service jobs.
LAW AND JUSTICE
Preserving civil peace has always been recognized as the first responsibility
of government. A government that is unable to afford to all of its citizens the
security of person and property is not likely to be able to do much else for them.
Today, we are faced with an increase in the old and familiar varieties of crime
as well as the growth of organized crime and large scale civil disorders.
The task of the State is this: to maintain public order while upholding the
rule of law and pursuing the goal of justice for all citizens. In addition to main-
taining order, the State must insure that justice embraces the fair treatment of
individuals; and fair treatment must extend to all aspects of life insofar as it
is within the government's authority to assure it.
We must deal effectively with all aspects of law and justice. My immediate
proposals include:
First, the prompt establishment of a police information network which is
designed to link the State, national, and all local law enforcement agencies
willing to participate, in a high-speed, computerized network for the collection,
organization and retrieval of information on crime and criminals.
Second, bills to strengthen the authority of local government in dealing
promptly and effectively with civil disorders.
Third, legislation to state clearly the authority and responsibilities of the
administrators of our public educational institutions to deal promptly and
effectively with those who attempt to disrupt the normal operation of those
institutions and disrupt the educational process.
Fourth, insistence on the equality of treatment of all citizens in their dealings
with the agencies of the law, and on the equality of protection of all persons and
their property.
Fifth, explore the Courts Commission recommendation for the initiation of
a public defender system in some areas of the state.
Sixth, strengthen substantially the State Bureau of Investigation by pro-
viding more funds for manpower and modern equipment.
On a longer range basis, we must develop a coordinated plan for training of
all law enforcement officers in the State and urge local governments to take
advantage of these programs.
More effective training of enforcement personnel can be accomplished by
utilizing fully existing training programs and facilities. At the same time, we
should consider the development of a police academy, especially to assure the
best training facilities and program possible for our State law enforcement
agencies.
I believe there are benefits to be derived from combining the prison, pro-
bation and paroles departments into a comprehensive correction and rehabili-
58 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
tation system. Such a department could give the leadership to increase our
efforts to rehabilitate prisoners, especially juvenile offenders. I recommend
this proposal be studied carefully by a commission appointed by this General
Assembly.
GOOD NEIGHBOR COUNCIL
Understanding and cooperation among the races are essential. While these
must be the concern of government generally, we will continue to need for
sometime a State agency whose main purpose is the improvement of racial
relations in the State.
Therefore, I recommend that the Good Neighbor Council be continued and
that the functions now performed by the Chairman be divided between a part-
time Chairman of the Council and a full-time Director employed by the Coun-
cil. The late David Coltrane gave the Council real meaning — a significance of
purpose. He served as both Chairman and Director, performing both of these
tasks well. I am asking that these roles now be divided and strengthened.
I am asking for a full-time Director and staff because I feel that the role of
the Good Neighbor Council should become more than one of mediating disputes.
The Council should examine State and local governmental practices in employ-
ment and in the provision of services. It should encourage the removal of any
inequities found, reporting to the Governor periodically on problems en-
countered.
The Council should continue to encourage and aid the formation of local
good neighbor councils and should help mediate racial crises on the invitation
of troubled communities.
Finally, recognizing that actions speak louder than words, I believe that
nothing will strengthen the confidence of minorities more surely than a voice in
government. We will set an example by appointing more members of minor-
ities to State boards and positions, and urge authorities at both State and local
levels to follow a similar policy.
TRANSPORTATION
Transportation and roads continue to be a pressing need in the State. It
has been estimated that we would need to spend $4.7 billion dollars in the next
twenty years to develop the transportation system that is needed to stay
abreast of economic growth as well as to curb the rising death and injury rate
on our highways.
In the area of highways and transportation, we must be ambitious in our
thinking and in our actions — as costly as such a program will be and as pressing
as are other programs that demand the State's attention and resources.
I will propose changes in the structure and composition of the State High-
way Commission. I favor increasing the Commission's membership. A larger
commission can better communicate with the people and will be more responsive
to the needs of the people. Highway divisions now serve up to fourteen counties.
It's difficult for a commission to effectively serve so large an area.
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 59
I am concerned that in the areas of highways and transportation that we use
wisely the large capital outlays that will be needed and that whatever we do
now and in the next decades will meet the needs of a growing and changing
State.
We should think boldly in terms of constructing an arterial system that will
move people and commerce through our centers of economic growth and that
will link these urban centers with less populated areas of the State that would
benefit economically by improved transportation.
Let us remember, too, that people on our coast use the channels and inlets
as roadways. We should give more attention to water transportation. A clear
and open channel means as much as a highway to people who depend on the
sea for their income.
We must look toward the development of our airports, particularly local
airports which are so essential to full industrial development in our State.
This is one area in which we can work closely with the federal government to
get some of our federal tax dollars back into North Carolina. It again under-
scores the need to strengthen the role of the State in federal matters.
STATE EMPLOYEES
All of us who are or have been employers know that demanding dedication of
our employees is only part of the story. A devoted, hard-working employee is
an employee who is adequately paid and who has the benefits that have become
a part of the modern, industrial society.
The State can be no different from the business employer. Its employees
must have adequate salaries which reflect the rising costs of living. Neither
should State employees be expected to conduct State business on a per diem
which is inadequate to meet expenses incurred.
I favor salary increases and, in addition, an increase in the per diem allowance
for both in-state and out-of-state travel.
I will ask you to appropriate funds to provide for time and one-half pay for
those employees who perform emergency services to protect life, health and
safety of the public.
The General Assembly should study the feasibility of establishing a longevity
and cost-of-living index in the salary schedule of State employees. Under the
present system, State employees can receive general pay increases only once
each two years. The cost of living has increased eight per cent since the last
general pay increase in 1967.
I favor changes in the State employees retirement program, and will recom-
mend new benefits, which will not require additional appropriations.
Finally, I believe a commission should be established to study various hospi-
talization plans and medical benefits for State employees-benefits that would
be in keeping with the current cost of hospital service. This study should be
directed toward specific recommendations for a hospital insurance proposal.
60 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
NATURAL RESOURCES
I have stated time and again that I want this administration to be known for
its concern with planning for the future of North Carolina. Thousands of
North Carolinians now living will see the advent of the year 2000 celebrated as
the turn of the century.
In these future years, all of North Carolina's resources must be conserved and
utilized so that the fullest benefit will accrue to all of our citizens. We must see
to it, as we plan for the future, that the great bounties with which God has
blessed this land are not wasted, misused or destroyed.
One of these great gifts of nature is the majestic and mysterious Atlantic
Ocean washing our shores. The Atlantic Ocean and our inland waters are
frontiers where lie natural resources as yet untapped. With the new emphasis
being placed throughout the world on the scientific study of seas, oceans and
water resources, I believe that the State must join in the intensive search for
answers to the problems and potentials of the ocean and rivers.
This administration will move to a position of leadership in the field of marine
science. We will look for ways to determine how the sea can yield more food;
how our coastline can be protected from winds and tides; what mineral resources
can be tapped from these depths and how the beaches and shorelines can be
conserved.
We will continue to support programs designed to insure that all of our natural
resources are conserved and that waste and pollution are stopped.
HEALTH AND WELFARE
Our State institutions and agencies in the public health and welfare fields
should be commended for their past work. They must have sustained, and in
many cases, increased support to stay abreast of increasing patient and case
loads.
There are new programs which the State must implement if we are to stay
abreast of the needs and the services which are becoming available through the
assistance of the State and Federal governments. Foremost among these, in
terms of the costs involved, will be the implementation of Title 19 of the Social
Security Act, commonly known as Medic-aid.
The mandatory date for states to implement this program and benefit from
Federal funds which provide hospital and doctor care, home health and nursing
services and medicines for several categories of the indigent, is January 1, 1970.
It is essential that North Carolina implement this program, which has been
recommended in the budget now before you.
MENTAL HEALTH
We need to strengthen our program of mental health care, remembering we
should never lag in our support for those who are not so fortunate so as to be
able to help themselves.
I support programs that will aid mentally retarded children. We should
establish a diagnostic center to pinpoint in infancy the mentally retarded child.
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 61
I believe one of the most critical problems in the next decade and longer will
be the shortage of trained manpower in the mental health professions.
Of course, the shortage of trained manpower is not limited to the mental
health profession. We must work on programs to increase adequate personnel
in all the health related fields.
CULTURAL AFFAIRS
North Carolina has long been recognized for its cultural achievements and
its concern for the fine arts. We were the first state to finance art purchases, to
support outdoor drama and to appropriate funds for a theater building. We
have a school for the Performing Arts and a fine Symphony Orchestra which
brings good music to thousands of children and adults throughout the State each
year.
To enhance our cultural development I feel the State should lend encourage-
ment and, where possible, assistance to cultural programs on the local level.
More historic sites need to be restored and preserved. Heritage and tradition
are important to a people and it will mean even more to us in the future.
PARKS AND RECREATION
In the last third of this century, we will find more people earning more money.
They will have greater mobility and more leisure time. Experts have predicted
that the wise utilization of leisure time will be one of the great challenges of the
future.
This we must continue to provide for adequate recreational programs and
areas, and to gradually expand our park system after thorough feasibility
studies.
In this regard, I feel the citizens of North Carolina are justified in their in-
terest in a major zoological park as a recreation, education, research and con-
servation facility.
I would like to see North Carolina develop a state zoo, and I recommend
that you give careful consideration to the necessary enabling legislation to get
it started.
LIABILITY INSURANCE RATES
For some time, I have been concerned about the cost of automobile insurance
rates, delays in settling claims and the litigation time and costs involved. Many
other of our citizens share this concern. I think something can be done about
liability insurance and its cost, and I believe it is possible for North Carolina to
lead the way in seeking ways to halt spiraling rates.
This complex problem involves not only rising prices of automobiles and
automobile parts, but our accident rate, the cost of settling claims and the
amount of litigation required.
I urge the General Assembly to appoint a blue ribbon commission to study
this entire area and the problems that contribute to it, and to make recom-
62 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
mendations as to what action is needed to make our highways safer and in-
surance costs lower.
SENIOR CITIZENS
Our senior citizens are valuable assets. They have given of their talents to
help North Carolina grow and prosper. Many have much yet to offer in terms
of experience and knowledge.
Our citizens over 65 years should be granted some tax relief so they can live
more comfortably in retirement. Too many are hard pressed financially to
make ends meet on a fixed income with ever increasing living costs.
In my budget message, I will present a tax rebate plan for your consideration.
It will be a significant gesture of the State's compassion for its senior citizens.
Because of the limitations of your time, I have not touched on all the matters
that will be the concern of my administration. Indeed, I have not gone into
great detail about the programs I have proposed.
Whenever it seems appropriate, therefore, I will relay to you additional pro-
posals for your consideration during this Session. I will express my views from
time to time on matters that come before this distinguished body that affect
our State and our people.
Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, my program is geared to developing the good
life for all North Carolinians. It is designed to carry out the four broad goals
stated in my inaugural address on January 3.
I believe it is a sound, sensible program. Moreover, it will bring greater
dividends in the future to all of us.
During this Session of the General Assembly, we must plan to provide the
essentials of a good life. Indeed, a realistic plan for the future can be the start
of a better life — a powerful thrust forward on the endless road of progress.
The progress we make depends on our working together — carefully and
creatively — to build a sturdy and constructive program to strengthen North
Carolina and her people.
Let the result of our labors give true meaning and purpose to our noble motto:
'Esse Quam Videri'."
After the Governor's address, on motion of Senator McGeachy, the Joint
Assembly dissolves. The Senate repairs to its Chambers and the House resumes
consideration of its business.

WHEREAS, Fay Lamar Webb was born in Shelby on September 7, 1885,
and died on January 16, 1969, after a lifetime of devotion and inspiration to her
husband, the late Governor 0. Max Gardner and family; dedicated service to
her community; to her State and to her nation; and
WHEREAS, in the death of "Miss Fay" the State has suffered the loss of a
gracious and active former First Lady who served this State well not only as
helpmate to her husband, but because, in the words of the then First Lady of
North Carolina, Mrs. Luther Hodges, "of the kind of life you have lived. You
have been cheerful amidst adversity, you have been courageous when others
were cowering, you have been beautiful when others were careless"; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. O. Max Gardner, as First Lady, contributed to the beauti-
fication of the Executive Mansion when upon exploring the attic of the Executive
Mansion, she rediscovered many antiques, restored them and used them in the
Mansion; established a Library of North Carolina Authors in the Executive
Mansion, and as she said "a thousand dollars at the time" secured an appro-
priation of $10,000 to acquire linens, china and furnishings to further beautify
the Executive Mansion. Unable to acquire a silver service, she used her in-
genuity in borrowing from relatives and friends; and
WHEREAS, her social functions in the Executive Mansion were always a
delight since as a woman of rare charm and exquisite presence she was the perfect
hostess whether the gathering was for one or for a few hundred; and
WHEREAS, upon moving to the Nation's Capitol as wife of the Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, she was known by society as one of the loveliest of
ladies — a perfect hostess; and

tinguished herself as the owner and manager of business property, as a member
of the Board of Trustees of Gardner- Webb College and the Board of North
Carolina Orthopedic Hospital, the Tryon Palace Commission, the North Caro-
lina Library and Historical Society, the North Carolina Art Society, the North
Carolina Society for the Preservation of Antiquities, the North Carolina
Symphony and many other public service boards and commissions; and
WHEREAS, she was a State Democratic Committeewoman and attended
two national Democratic Conventions; and
WHEREAS, some of the tokens of the high regard with which she was held
within her own right were the receipt of an Honorary Degree of Humanity from
the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and a dinner honoring her
for her achievements in Washington, D. C, on November 19, 1959, attended

With accuracy unerring, the weather he predicts

The workers at the Bureau would be hit mighty hard.
They would be looking for work in another field
And our furry friend all the answers would yield; and

We'd receive truths and actualities.
And we'd be helping our democracy
In slapping this bureaucracy; and
WHEREAS, and the people of Siler City
Whose hearts are so pure
Should receive all the publicity
For providing the cure; and
WHEREAS, they are fearlessly led in their humane endeavor,
By two gallant citizens who are mighty clever.

Our compassion aroused and our conscience haunted; and
WHEREAS, we therefore feel that the least we can do
Is give just credit where credit is due
So Guardians appoint and a home create
To insure proper respect within our State:

THE BUDGET MESSAGE OF
THE HONORABLE ROBERT W. SCOTT
GOVERNOR OF NORTH CAROLINA
"Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the General Assembly of North
Carolina.
The Executive Budget Act requires the Governor of North Carolina to come
before the General Assembly to present a recommended budget for the coming
biennium.
The proposed budget must, by law, be balanced with respect to income and
expenditures. This requirement is wise and it has saved us many headaches and
helped us to avoid many pitfalls. It has been a big factor in maintaining fiscal
responsibility. It has enabled us to enjoy the highest credit rating available
to state governments, something that few other states can claim. The 'balanced
budget' requirement of our law must not be altered.
I appear before you today to report that the government of North Carolina
is financially sound in every respect. Revenues have exceeded expenditures
during the past eighteen months. Careful budgeting by the 1967 General
Assembly and prudent spending during the current biennium will enable us to
anticipate a credit general fund balance on June 30, 1969 of approximately
$127,431,000.
116 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
It should be stated clearly that this is not a surplus. The sum represents
receipts over expenditures and reversion of unexpended appropriated funds.
It will be carried forward into the coming biennium and has already been in-
cluded in the construction of the recommended budget.
On your desks when this General Assembly convened you found four budget
documents: the 'A' Budget, representing the money needed to maintain current
programs at their present level of operation; the 'B' Budget, representing the
requests and recommendations to improve and expand current programs and
to establish new programs; the 'C Budget, representing requests and recom-
mendations for specific capital improvements; and the Budget Summary which
also contains the budget statements.
The budget recommendations presented to you on January 15 are those of
the administration of my predecessor, Governor Moore. It was compiled by
the Advisory Budget Commission after many hours of hearing testimony by
state agencies and visits to state institutions and facilities throughout North
Carolina. A tremendous amount of time and effort by the Advisory Budget
Commission, the Budget Division staff, the previous Director of Administration
and administrators of state agencies have gone into the making of that budget
and I commend them for it.
The budget process in North Carolina is cumbersome and slow, but I doubt
that there is a state budget any where that is more carefully scrutinized and
analyzed than ours. The taxpayer of North Carolina can rightfully feel that
their tax dollar is very carefully weighed before being appropriated.
I commend the 'A' Budget to you and recommend its adoption.
The general fund 'B' Budget requests totaled more than $523,910,452 as state
agencies sought money to expand presents programs or to initiate new ones.
The recommendations found in the 'B' Budget, however, totaled only
$173,444,097. This was a great disappointment to many. But the recom-
mendations represented the best judgment of the previous administrations in
appropriating the estimated available funds, including the anticipated general
fund credit balance of $127,431,000.
I have examined carefully this proposed 'B' Budget. Department heads
have talked with me and my staff of their needs.
I have received much correspondence from citizens who have expressed
concern for certain items which were not included.
After careful review, I conclude that the recommendations found in the 'B'
Budget can be justified and are very much needed. Therefore, I commend
those recommendations to you and urge their adoption.
But I find that additional appropriations are essential to the progress of our
State.
We cannot turn our backs on the times, nor can we simply mark time and
allow the measure of our advance to slip away from us. Most important of all,
however, we cannot forfeit our future.
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 117
We must indeed, make a greater investment in that future; first, by assuring
good health, both physical and mental, for all our people and especially for
our children.
Second, we must provide a greater economy potential for our people, especially
the young who are potential dropouts rather than self-supporting citizens.
And third, we need to give great help to our communities so they may go for-
ward in peace and harmony.
To this end I am asking that expanded programs in mental health be initiated,
that a rejuvenated vocational education program be provided in the middle
grades in our schools; that a Department of Community affairs be created to
give assistance to community development; and that our Good Neighbor
Council be enlarged and given sufficient funds in prospective programs in
human relations.
I will have more to say about these and other programs later in this message,
because these are steps that must be taken to protect our investment in the
future of North Carolina.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
The general fund 'C Budget, often called the 'bricks and mortar' Budget,
recommends that a total $55,957,082 be allocated for capital expenditures. This
does not, of course, meet nearly all the needs of our State which is growing
rapidly. Again, however, it represents the best judgment for the wise use of
available funds by the previous administration. I recommend the adoption
of the 'C Budget recommendations.
The total requests from all sources by all agencies for capital improvements
is $400,005,999. The 'C Budget recommends an appropriation from all funds
of $89,636,082, leaving a balance of unmet needs of $310,369,917.
We cannot realistically meet all of those needs, even with a capital improve-
ments bond issue.
As much as I would like to get on with the building of many new facilities
for our educational institutions, mental hospitals and other needed service
agencies, I do not recommend a capital improvements bond issue at this time.
The current bond market and interest rates present a very difficult situation
for a new bond issue. Interest rates have reached all-time peaks for the past
fifty years and are currently holding at that level. The cost to the state for a
bond issue would likely be the highest in our history. Hopefully, interest rates
will not exceed their present level and, before the next General Assembly meets,
will recede somewhat. Perhaps a bond issue can be considered at that time.
You will recall that the General Assembly of 1967 appropriated in excess of
$110,000,000 from the general fund for capital improvements which did not
include over $75,000,000 from self-liquidating, federal and other funds. Much
of this construction is still going on and the buildings are yet to be used. Further,
I am convinced that many of our institutions of higher education can make
more efficient use of their classroom space.
118 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
I do ask, however, that you add to the 'C Budget from the general fund the
sum of $2,500,000 for capital improvements, This money would be used to
provide buildings and equipment to treat mentally retarded infants, house the
School of Allied Health Professions at East Carolina University and a livestock
and poultry disease diagnostic laboratory.
There are many more capital improvements which are very much needed and
which can be justified, but I do not feel that these can be funded from general
fund revenues. The pressing needs of our colleges and universities, the medical
school at Chapel Hill, our mental institutions, prison system, parks and all the
others can only be met by a capital improvements bond issue which, in all
honesty and with great reluctance, I cannot recommend at this time.
I return now to a consideration of the 'B' Budget — the budget that provides
for new programs and the improvement of current programs.
The trust of my administration will be to look to the future and prepare for
it. This will require sharp emphasis upon comprehensive long-range planning.
It will require efforts now to assist local governments in finding ways to meet
their increasing complex problems.
The core of this program will be a new department of state government to
provide expanded service to local governments. It is not intended to be a
regulatory agency but one that will assist our counties and towns, particularly
the smaller ones without the needed staff or budget, to plan for the future and
to get the maximum benefit from the multitude of federal funds available.
The nucleus of this department already exists in our state government. By
the pulling together into one department those programs already existing, there
will be a net reduction in the number of separate agencies, something that is
to be highly desired.
I consider the establishment of this Department of Local Affairs to be a high
priority item.
I recommend that state employees under the State Personnel Act be given
an average 10 per cent salary increase on a graduated scale, with those in the
lower salary range receiving a greater percentage than those in the higher range.
To me, the 'across the board' principle is not always equitable.
Comparable salary increases should also go to those not under the State
Personnel Act, such as school bus mechanics, extension service secretaries, etc.
Much has been said about bringing teacher salaries up to the national average.
That is my goal. But it cannot be accomplished entirely during this biennium.
Instead, the goal of a national average for our teachers must come in two steps,
one in this biennium and one in the next.
The current 'B' Budget recommends a salary increase of 5% in 1969 and
another 5rc in 1970. I am recommending that this figure be doubled to ten
and ten. This will require $50,633,565 over and above that presently recom-
mended. I believe that is all the state can afford at the moment.
We must remember that it is exceedingly difficult for us to pay the national
average for our professional educational people when our citizens, who must
foot the bill, do not have anywhere near the national average personal income
from which to pay taxes.
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 119
Further, when we speak of increasing educational salaries, we are talking
about almost 45 per cent of the General Fund Budget for teachers alone.
Nevertheless, we must reach the goal during this administration. This
recommended increase will bring it within our grasp two years hence.
While we are on this subject of teacher salaries, I suggest that when we reach
the national average figure, that there be a method devised to pay an educator
according to his worth. Many are better than average. Others are below. It
doesn't seem equitable that they all be paid the same. The better teachers are
penalized and the poor ones are subsidized and the child in the classroom is the
victim of the system.
I am recommending a salary increase of eight per cent the first year and an
additional eight per cent the second year of the Biennium for faculty salary
increases at our institutions of higher learning. This will cost about $7,500,000
in addition to the present recommendations for this group of employees.
For faculty salary increases in our Community College system, I am recom-
mending eight per cent the first year and eight per cent the second year of the
biennium, which will cost over $3,000,000 beyond the 'B' Budget recom-
mendations.
I feel it is only fair to provide school bus transportation for children who live
in urban areas just as we have had for rural students for many years. All
parents, regardless of where they live, pay the cost of our school transportation
system.
Further, I believe it is imperative that we provide school bus transportation
for special education systems — those who must travel to another school to
attend classes for the emotionally disturbed, the educable mentally retarded
and the physically handicapped.
Therefore, I am recommending that $3,298,552 be appropriated for urban
student school transportation and an additional $735,847 be appropriated to
provide school bus transportation for handicapped children.
School dropouts continue to be a serious problem in our educational program.
It is a definite factor in our low per capita income. Somehow we must find the
means to interest our children in continuing their education.
A comprehensive program of occupational education for children in the middle
grades will be a giant step toward reducing the school dropout problem. Adding
more teachers to already existing vocational programs will not solve this pro-
blem. We cannot implement this program all at once, but we can begin. A
workable course of study and plans to implement it are presently underway in
the Department of Public Instruction.
Therefore, I recommend that the sum of $4,000,000 be set aside in a reserve
fund to be held in the Budget Division to be released to the Department of
Public Instruction when the plan is ready to implement.
I further urge that the State Board of Education re-examine the entire
vocational education program to this end that our students may be offered a
wider variety of opportunities in this area. I am concerned that the student
120 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
receives vocational training, industrial training and occupation guidance in
keeping with a modern North Carolina and that we prepare him for life in his
future rather than in our present.
Expanded programs for retarded children and mental health generally will
require about $2,310,000 additional appropriations.
A major need in North Carolina today is to strengthen the hand of our law
enforcement agencies. This can be done to some extent by tightening up and
clarifying the criminal laws in our State.
With a growing population, however, and the increased incidence of crime,
especially the use of drugs among our young people, it is urgent that we provide
better equipment and more manpower for our law enforcement agencies.
To improve our efforts in law and justice in North Carolina, I am recom-
mending that $3,025,000 be appropriated in this general area. These funds will
be used primarily to implement the Police Information Network (PIN) linking
all of our law enforcement agencies together, and more manpower and better
equipment for the State Bureau of Investigation.
The Governor's Coordinating Council on the Aging has completed a compre-
hensive study on the problems and needs of our elder citizens in North Carolina.
I commend this report to you.
Inasmuch as the State provides no benefits to senior citizens in the low in-
come brackets, those who need assistance the most, I am recommending that
a tax refund of $25.00 be given to all persons 65 years or older who have income
of less than $3,000 annually. This program will result in a loss to the General
Fund of $16,000,000 for the biennium.
There are many single people today who cannot qualify for a head of house-
hold exemption, but who are maintaining a house or apartment for themselves.
This is an inequitable tax. I recommend, therefore, that single people be
granted state income tax exemptions equal to those presently receiving the
$2,000 exemptions. This will result in a net loss from the General Fund for the
biennium of $5,000,000.
Other additions to the 'B' Budget recommendations that I propose include
funds to upgrade and strengthen the Good Neighbor Council, provide a begin-
ning for a State Zoo, funds to match anticipated federal grants in the new area
of marine sciences and for soil and water conservation programs. This will
call for $3,515,000 additional money.
The additions to the 'B' Budget that I have recommended add up to slightly
over $92,000,000.
Add to this the $21,000,000 loss in General Fund revenue from tax relief
recommendations and the $2,500,000 for capital improvements, and we have
the grand total of $115,865,665 in additional revenues needed for our General
Fund.
An additional $5,000,000 will be required from the highway fund to meet the
salary increases proposed for state employees generally, but whose salary comes
from highway revenues.
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 121
TAX RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend to this General Assembly that the money to implement my
recommendations to you be provided from the following sources. (All figures
are for the biennium).
An additional 10 per cent tax on liquor which will yield $26,000,000.
An increase in the tax rate on beer by 1.5 cents per bottle over six ounces
but less than 12 ounces and equivalent rates on other quantities with the state
to retain all additional revenue. This will yield $15,000,000.
A tax on cigarettes at the rate of five cents per package of twenty will yield
$50,000,000.
A tax on cigars of two cents each will yield $7,000,000.
An increase of one-half of one per cent in all rates on Insurance Premiums
will yield $10,000,000.
An increase in the sales tax on motor vehicles, boats, and locomotives from
the present 1.5 per cent to 2 per cent with the maximum remaining at $120 will
yield $8,500,000.
An increase in bank excise tax rates from the present 4.5 per cent to 6 per cent
will yield $1,000,000.
An increase by one-fourth in the rates at which Building and Loan Associ-
ations are taxed will yield $1,000,000.
These recommended sources and rates will provide $118,500,000 for the
General Fund.
The enactment of these recommendations will meet my recommended ad-
ditional General Fund expenditures and provide a cushion of over $2,500,000.
HIGHWAY FUNDS
We must have more money for road construction and maintenance. Costs
for both maintenance and new construction have risen sharply, at a far greater
rate than our highway revenues. In addition, the increasing operating costs of
the Department of Motor Vehicles, including the adding of highway patrolmen,
continues to drain away funds that most people believe are available for roads.
Most of the requests, verbally and by mail, coming to my office are pleas
from our citizens to improve our roads, both primary and secondary.
A thorough study by a commission named by Governor Moore reveals that
under our present system of financing highway costs, there will be no money
left from state funds for new construction by 1974.
I repeat, we must have money for roads.
Therefore, I strongly recommend that motor fuel taxes be increased by two
cents per gallon and that license taxes on automobiles, trucks and other vehicles
be increased by one-fourth.
122 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
The motor fuel tax will provide $88,000,000 and the increase in license fees
will yield $21,000,000 for a total income to the Highway Fund of $109,000,000
for the biennium.
I point out that this figure would yield more funds for the highway depart-
ment during my administration than the $200 million secondary road bond issue
passed during my father's administration. Of course, it will not go nearly as
far because of inflation, higher engineering requirements and also, these funds
will not be earmarked for secondary roads alone.
Now, let me comment with respect to my recommendations for a tax on
cigarettes.
First of all, I would not have recommended a cigarette tax if I had any reason
to believe that such action would hurt the tobacco warehouseman or the tobacco
manufacturer, and especially the tobacco grower.
It will not, and anyone who thinks it through knows it will not.
First of all, we are talking about only 2 per cent of the flue-cured tobacco
grown in North Carolina.
This amount is sold in the State, whereas 98 per cent of the crop is sold else-
where and is already taxed.
A five cent tax on 2 per cent of the crop is not going to affect sales.
Tobacco prices are supported by the federal government. There is a floor
underneath tobacco prices, so they will not be reduced and the farmer will not
be hurt.
I honestly feel that our failure to levy a cigarette tax has hurt our relations
with other states and particularly with Congressmen and Senators from other
states.
We must remember it is these people who have the power to destroy the to-
bacco price support program and impose restrictions on the advertising of
cigarettes.
Such action at the federal level would seriously harm the tobacco industry
and directly reduce income to tobacco growers, warehousemen and manu-
facturers.
My friends in the tobacco industry, and there are many, would be best
advised, in my honest opinion to concentrate their energies in Congress to save
the price support program and prevent the ban on cigarette advertising, which
is clearly a very real danger in this session of Congress.
My only regret in recommending a cigarette tax to this distinguished body is
that when I compaigned for this office, I said I was opposed to such a tax.
But I also stated that if it became necessary to meet the essential needs of
our State, then I would seek the necessary revenue.
It has been said that when confronted with the facts, 'a wise man will change
his mind, but a fool never changes his.'
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 123
Since assuming my responsibilities as Governor, I have been confronted
with facts — facts supporting the overwhelming needs of our State, not nearly
all of which can be met even if we levied a tax of ten cents per pack.
So I make this recommendation with no apology, but only with explanation.
I am man enough to stand before you to say I have found it necessary to
change my earlier opinion.
My responsibility to the entire state transends the desire to assist an industry.
Finally, I believe it is time to destroy the myth that tobacco is king in North
Carolina.
Income from livestock and poultry already exceeds that of tobacco.
True, it is very important to our economy and will be for as long as man wants
to enjoy a smoke. But tobacco must not dominate our thinking to the detri-
ment of our progress.
Now I would like to comment on the sharing of state collected revenue with
local governments, specifically the sales tax.
I am opposed to the state collecting an additional sales tax, which now in-
cludes food, and giving it back to local governments to spend.
Many local governments do need financial assistance. Some do not.
I feel strongly that every local government should first utilize their existing
revenue sources before turning to the state for more unrestricted funds. I am
not convinced that the majority of our local governments have made full use
of their available resources.
Further, in many cases, more efficient use of the local government tax dollar
can be achieved by consolidating county and city governments, consolidating
school administrative units and the sharing of services among counties.
Many counties have glaring exemptions or inequities in their ad valorem tax
structure.
I caution you, the members of this General Assembly, to protect from further
erosion the revenue sources available to the state.
You must provide future administrations with the means of financing the
expanding needs of a growing state.
It is poor business to erode the tax sources of the state, knowing full well that
the demand for state services will increase in the immediate future.
There is every reason to believe that the pressure for revenue will be just as
great or greater on future General Assemblies as it is upon us here today.
Let me remind you, too, that the State of North Carolina already provides
many services and much money for local government.
The state constructs and maintains all roads and streets except those streets
not on the state highway system.
Many of the major city thoroughfares are on this system. In addition, in-
124 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
corporated municipalities receive Powell Bill Funds to aid in street improve-
ments and construction.
Most people believe the state receives the intangible tax, and we are con-
stantly urged to eliminate this tax, but this 17 million goes back to local govern-
ments with only a small service charge for the actual cost of collection.
On July 1, 1969, the municipal share of the utilities franchise tax will increase
from the present three-fourths of one per cent to two per cent.
This will be one-third of the total 6 per cent that the state levies. This means
that $4,950,000 will go back to municipalities in the first year of the upcoming
biennium.
On July 1, 1970, the municipal share of this tax will go to 3 per cent or one-
half of the state's levy of 6 per cent.
Thus, in the second year of the biennium $9,650,000 will be returned to local
governments — money that once would have been available to the state.
The state pays educational personnel admittedly not enough, but we provide
the base. We provide the school buses and pay the drivers.
Many small towns receive technical services such as planning assistance.
The Local Government Commission and the Institute of Government render
great service to local governments.
All these services and more are being provided already by the state and my
proposed Department of Local Affairs will give even greater assistance.
So, do not labor under the illusion that the state does not assist local govern-
ments, because it does in many ways.
I have stated many times that local governments must be strengthened. I
still hold that view.
But they can be strengthened best by changes in the law to allow more home
rule, consolidation of services, merging of governmental units, broader local
taxing powers, and more technical and long-range planning assistance by the
state.
Government cannot sit off in a special place — untouched, unscarred by the
rising cost before us in our daily lives. It cannot command such an isolated
position. We must meet its demands, just as we rise to meet the demands in
our personal lives. We must respond realistically to government's potential.
When we do, we are responding to the people.
For us not to take our place in what our State must do, we would be negligent
in meeting the responsibilities that the people have placed in us. In turn, I
want to do what I can to make our State more responsive to the evident needs
of our people — needs which can be met in the framework of reasonable thought
and action.
I believe you feel the same way. I have strong confidence that the people will
recognize our good intent, our mission, and our goals in the cooperative and con-
structive spirit that has marked our State in the past.
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 125
As Governor, I welcome reaction of our people to what I have proposed; for
what we are doing must always be viewed to be in the public's interest.
And as I seek this public expression, I only ask that the people look con-
structively and devotedly to our State. I ask them and you to consider what
our State is now, what it should be and what it can be if we face our problems
and show courage and corrective efforts in doing our best for those who look
to us to do our best — meaning all the people of our State.
This budget, then, is open for appraisal by you and by the people. In turn,
I can see that if all of us face it and deal with it and make our decisions through
it, North Carolina certainly will be served well.
I am sure you know that I would not assume to tell you what to do or where
to levy taxes that will produce the additional money needed to render these
vital services to the people.
I have mentioned several sources and types of tax levies. These I recommend
as a result of careful and thoughtful study; these are suggested by me for your
consideration along with other sources and types which you may wish to con-
sider.
The decision as to where the money comes from is your decision. Your best
judgment will be acceptable to me. I urge you to levy such taxes as in your
judgment will be fair, reasonable, and sufficient to provide for the urgent needs
of the people of our State. I earnestly make these recommendations and sug-
gestions to you, and they are made without reservation.
I close with a quote from the famed jurist and poet, Oliver Wendell Holmes.
T find the great thing in the world is not so much where we stand as in what
direction we are moving. To reach the port — we must sail sometimes with
the wind and sometimes against it; but we must sail and not drift nor lie at
anchor'."

210 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
On motion of Representative McMillan of Robeson, a statement made by
individual members of the Faculty of the Institute of Government is read and
ordered spread on the Journal.
"This University has a long and honorable history of resisting efforts to
curtail freedom of expression. We associate ourselves unreservedly with that
tradition.
Adherence to that tradition does not require defense — or even condonation
— of methods of expression which trespass upon the rights of others and disrupt
the life of the University. Indeed, nothing so effectually sabotages any mean-
ingful search for truth as the tactical resort to violence of threats of violence by
a militant minority which insists that it alone can identify truth and that
whatever is identified by it as truth, must be universally accepted. This is the
totalitarian — not the democratic — approach to freedom of expression.
The mission of the University would be equally subverted if its teachers, who
have voluntarily entered into lawful contracts, deliberately pervert or refuse to
carry out their assignments, justifying such conduct by citing their disagree-
ment with their characterization of University policies. Such conduct is not
a legitimate assertion of the right to criticize. It is a breach of faith and a
clear neglect of duty. Such conduct, legally and morally unjustifiable, is pe-
culiarly reprehensible when engaged in by those who profess high moral motives.
In the present University crisis, to the extent that a labor dispute is involved,
we believe that the University is moving, with good will and in good faith, to
reach just solutions. We strongly endorse that effort and urge that it continue
with maximum possible speed. We believe that the labor dispute can be settled
more quickly and more justly if those groups whose conduct led to the presence
of highway patrolmen publicly renounce any intention to renew such conduct.
We have a poor case for withdrawal of the patrol until we can point to such
solid evidence that peace will prevail in its absence.
Unfortunately, there is evidence that small minorities of students and teachers,
urged on and supported by individuals from outside the University community,
are determined, by violence, threats of violence, disruption and neglect of duty,
to force adoption of their views as to matters irrelevant to the present labor
dispute. We condemn any such effort, while there is small chance that, by
such tactics, they can win control of University policies, there is real danger
that they will goad the people of the State into destroying freedom of expression
for all of us.
We support the Chancellor and the President in their efforts to maintain
order, to do justice, and to preserve for us and for posterity a University in
which truth wins its way by its intellectual merits."

294 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
I appreciate the privilege you have given me to come before you again during
this Session. I am aware of the demands made upon your time, especially now
that you are deeply involved in discussing the issues that are before you.
But I ask for some of your time today in order that I might present for your
consideration a new program for North Carolina.
In my legislative message to you on January 22, I stated that I would ask
your support in developing programs that will build a partnership between our
State government and our local communities.
There has been much concern expressed in recent months over the need to
strengthen local governments. These expressions have come from local govern-
ment officials, community leaders and the general public. Part of this concern
stems from the growing awareness that unless action is taken, local govern-
ments — those closest to the people — will become largely ineffective. Indeed,
many are finding it increasingly difficult to cope with the pressing problems of
a modern society.
Since our counties, cities and towns are created by the State, I feel the State
has an obligation to provide them with technical know-how, planning assistance,
and other services to enable them to cope with twentieth century problems and
to plan for the twenty-first century.
To aid in this essential effort, I ask this General Assembly to establish a new
department of State government to be known as the Department of Local
Affairs.
This department will be used primarily for the purpose of aiding and assisting
local governments to meet local needs, both immediate and long range. It will
be a service agency, staffed with competent individuals who have the expertise
in such areas as community planning, economic development, recreational
planning, housing, land use and development and other vital areas.
I intend for this new department to work in close cooperation with all local
governments. Equal attention will be given to counties and municipalities.
It will make no difference whether the local government is large or small in
terms of population, economic wealth or geography. The services of this depart-
ment will be available to all.
To assure this close cooperation I ask that an Advisory Council on Local
Affairs be established to work with the Director and the Department. At
least six members of this eighteen member council will, at the time of their
appointment or within the preceding two years, have served as a mayor, a
member of a municipal governing board or as a county commissioner.
There will be advisory committees on recreation, law and justice, and other
areas of work by this department. In short, the department will be so organ-
ized as to assure local governments a strong voice in its policies and programs.
Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, I consider the establishing of this department
to be a key element in the determined efforts of this administration to form a
true partnership with local governments. In addition to our 100 county govern-
ments, there are over 425 incorporated municipalities. There are also many
unincorporated communities ranging all the way from a few families around a
rural crossroads to the community of Kannapolis. Many have formed them-
selves into sanitary districts or water districts.
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 295
Most of these counties, municipalities and unincorporated population centers
do not have the manpower, the finances or the technical knowledge to ade-
quately deal with the modern-day problems suddenly thrust upon them. Many
are not able to take advantage of — indeed some do not have knowledge of —
federal and State assistance programs available to them. Yet their problems
increase and their needs mount.
Much has been said about the needs of our local governments and what can
be done to assist them. My administration is committed to providing this type
of assistance. I am convinced our people want it. I ask you to join with me in
making it possible by establishing the Department of Local Affairs, a major new
department of our State government.
Another essential step in our effort to strengthen local governments in this
State is the matter of constitutional reform.
I am pleased that the Local Government Study Commission has placed such
reform at the top of its list of many worthy recommendations. I concur in that
priority, for the bedrock of democratic government is its constitution.
The language of 1868 has served well. Its basic conservative philosophy
should be retained. State supervision of local fiscal affairs is sound and should
be continued.
But we must not forever cling blindly to the past when facing the problems,
challenges and opportunities of the future. The language of 1868, written in
the context of the past century, must be updated and modernized.
Those constitutional provisions which limit the power of the General Assem-
bly to legislate for the 1970's and beyond must be revised. Barriers to effective
change in form and structure of local government must be removed.
My program for local government is in reality a program of better services
for all the people of our State. Its aim is to provide a sound and wholesome
balance of urban and rural life.
With these principles in mind, I urge your careful and studied consideration
of constitutional reform for local government.
OTHER INTERNAL REORGANIZATION
In order for our State government to operate more efficiently in the coming
years and fulfill its obligation to be more responsive to the needs of our people,
I am recommending that there be a reorganization of certain policy making
boards and agencies of our State administration.
Already you have before you a bill that would re-organize the Board of Con-
servation and Development along the lines recommended by the Study Com-
mission established by the 1967 General Assembly. I urge the enactment of
this bill for I believe it will give a better balance to the mission of the Depart-
ment in broad areas of development, conservation and tourism.
Soon to be introduced for your consideration will be a bill to provide for
additional highway commissioners. The enactment of that legislation will
enable the highway commission to be in closer touch with the people. It will
enable the commission to give closer and more immediate attention to the road
needs of our counties. I ask you to adopt this proposal.
296 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
Article 36 of Chapter 143 of our General Statutes, enacted by the 1957 General
Assembly, provided for a Department of Administration. This department
has served well and it is essential to the effective operation of our State govern-
ment.
This department really serves as an extension of the Governor's office. With-
in it are located six divisions: Budget, Property Control, Purchase and Con-
tract, General Services, State Planning Task Force and Data Processing. Two
of these, Budget and Purchase and Contract, are required by Statute to be in
this department. Others are authorized but not required. With the exception
of the Budget and Purchase and Contract Divisions, the Director, with the
approval of the Governor, may add divisions, abolish divisions and otherwise
reorganize the department 'necessary or convenient for the efficient performance
of the duties and functions of the department.'
.1 am convinced that the department needs to be re-organized for more effici-
ency. Present authority exists to do this, but some additional funds will be
needed to make such re-organization effective.
As you know, in recent years there has been a tremendous increase in the
number of new federal programs. Many of these directly concern North Caro-
lina. I feel that our State is not fully utilizing some of the programs that can
be helpful to us and that we are not aggressive enough in getting some of our
federal tax dollars back into North Carolina. Further, these federal programs
have grown both in number and in scope to the extent it deserves our full-time
attention.
Therefore, I am asking that $36,500 be provided to establish within the De-
partment of Administration an Office of State-Federal Relations. This office
will be responsible for state-federal liaison on behalf of the Executive Branch
of State government. This office will serve as a key point of contact with federal
offices, agencies, and programs, and conduct the staff work for the Governor
and the Department of Administration.
The Division of Property Control and Construction needs to be reorganized
to more effectively handle the increased work load resulting from increased
numbers of State buildings and property, both existing and planned, under its
supervision. It is proposed that this division be renamed the Property Manage-
ment and Construction Division and that it be split up into three sections:
Architecture and Engineering, Real Property Management and Control, and
Legal. Salaries and support needed will be in the amount of $108,00.
The State Planning Task Force was created during the Sanford aministration
and strengthened during the Moore administration. The time has now arrived
where this division should be further strengthened by additional inputs of per-
sonnel and expertise to adequately serve the State's comprehensive long-range
planning and development needs. This change is needed to cope with the com-
plex long-range planning problems of the new century already rushing upon us.
The State Planning Task Force, therefore, will be re-organized into a Division
of State Planning and Development. It will have the responsibility to coordi-
nate existing State programs, and organization of agency plans for future pro-
grams and needs of the State.
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 297
The basic functions at this level are coordination and integration of line agency
planning, and providing the Executive and Legislative branches of government
information on state-wide goals, policies and means of implementation.
The State Planning Task Force would be incorporated into this new division
and additional funds for support would amount to $112,000.
It is an objective of this administration to provide for our citizens as efficient
government as possible. To do this requires a constant review of organization
methods and procedures of all State agencies and to formulate plans for needed
improvements in organization.
Authority to accomplish this goal is already provided in General Statutes
143-341(5), but this program has never been implemented. It is needed. There-
fore, it is proposed that there be established a new division within the Depart-
ment of Administration to be known as the Administrative Management
Analysis Division. This division will provide staff assistance to the Governor
and the Advisory Budget Commission, two-thirds of whose membership are
members of the General Assembly. It will make studies and in-depth analysis
of budgets and organization, and will establish cost-benefit ratios where ap-
plicable to State programs. Such findings will be presented to the Advisory
Budget Commission and to the Governor and would be available to the General
Assembly.
Funds to support this new division will amount to $108,000.
Other divisions of the Department of Administration, Budget, Purchase and
Contract, General Services, and Data Processing, would function as they are
now constituted.
The work of the Department has expanded considerably from its original two
divisions. Responsibilities of the Department have increased in number and
complexity. The workload on the Director has increased greatly in the last
twelve years. Therefore, I am recommending that a position of Deputy Director
be established to assist the Director in the implementation of these expanded
programs and responsibility. The Deputy Director would act in the absence
of the Director. Salary and supporting expenditures for this position, together
with secretarial assistance would amount to $36,000 for the biennium.
Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, this message today, together with my two pre-
vious appearances before you, embodies the essential elements of- my program
for progress for the people of our State.
There are three alternatives before us:
One is to do nothing about increasing revenues. In this time of mounting
costs, enlarging needs of a growing State, and greater federal challenges in
terms of matching money, to accept this alternative would cause us to go
backward.
The second alternative is to provide those revenues which would enable us
to merely remain where we are with no forward motion. This is not in keeping
with our philosophy or tradition as a State.
The third opportunity is the course of courage. To me it is the only accept-
able alternative.
298 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
I have been in office less than three months. But I am made more aware
each passing day that with the proper direction and leadership, North Carolina
can become outstanding in its capacity to make maximum use of its potential.
During the past few weeks, I have had the opportunity to chat with you at
the breakfast table, in my office or at dinner at the Executive Mansion. You
have strengthened the conviction I already hold that yout want to serve your
constituents conscientiously and that you are dedicated to your responsibilities
as elected members of a truly great deliberative body — the General Assembly
of North Carolina.
As you go about your tasks during the remaining weeks of this session, I
ask you to keep in mind one thought:
The programs I have presented to you are no monument to me as an individ-
ual. There are no frills in what I am proposing — no luxuries.
What I have recommended, either in programs or revenue sources, is not
frivoluous. It is not a question of what one man wants. It is a larger question
of what North Carolina needs.
No citizen of North Carolina will suffer unduly by supporting my program.
But thousands will benefit because you were willing to enact it.
The people of North Carolina elected me Governor to provide the needed
leadership during these four years. The program I present to you will enable
me to better fulfill that obligation.
It is my responsibility as Governor to present a program and the ways in
which it might be financed. This I have done.
You have the responsibility to evaluate both my proposals and the means
of financing. I am confident you will do so with the best interests of all of
North Carolina at heart.
Leadership — that is what I impress upon you today. That is what the people
want.
Let each of us in our respective positions of leadership be honest enough
and courageous enough to admit one thing:
To be influenced in our decisions by the cries of the faint hearted or the vocal
disgruntlement of leaders of special interest groups who resist the necessary
means of financing essential programs — this is indefensible leadership and it
betrays those we represent.
I implore every member of this General Assembly to rise to the challenge we
clearly face. Listen to the voice of reason and logic — not to emotion nor special
interests.
And let us ask Divine guidance that out conscience can distinguish between
the two.
Who will provide the leadership? As your Governor, I will.
Who can get the job done? Only you, the members of this General Assembly.
Let us all have the courage to "Go Forward' again."

WHEREAS, the British Government had looked upon the American colonies
as a colonization venture to counteract the Spanish in the New World; and
WHEREAS, the thirteen colonies had been settled by the English and were
governed by the Mother Country; and
WHEREAS, the British Government had looked upon the American Colonies
as a means to increase revenue; and
WHEREAS, the British Government felt that the colonies should pay some
form of taxes to England in order to defray some of the expense of that govern-
ment; and
WHEREAS, the British Crown ignored the cries from its American Colonists,
and therefore, the American citizens were overburdened with unnecessary
taxation and restriction of freedoms; and
WHEREAS, the Stamp Act was passed by Parliament in 1765, which was
a tax on all transactions of legal papers in the colonies, which the colonies suc-
cessfully resisted; and
WHEREAS, other taxing measures were adopted by the British Govern-
ment, such as the Townsend Act and the Tea Tax, which likewise were suc-
cessfully resisted; and
WHEREAS, the people were against taxation without representation and
began to look more to their own resources, both political and legal; and
WHEREAS, the Fourth Provincial Congress meeting in Halifax in order to
formulate plans to strengthen the position of the people, on April 12, 1776,
voted to instruct the delegates in the Continental Congress to vote for in-
dependence from the Mother Country; and
WHEREAS, the date April 12, 1969, will mark the one hundred ninety-third
anniversary of the adoption of the significant and far-reaching Halifax Re-
solves;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the
Senate concurring:
Section 1. That North Carolina, in the Town of Halifax, April 12, 1776,

in declaring independency. . . .'
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 407

colonies to take official action for independence.
Sec. 3. That North Carolina by this action preceded by more than one month

Sec. 4. That through this action North Carolina forged the first link in a
chain of events that led directly to the Declaration of Independence on July 4,
1776.
Sec. 5. That this Resolution shall become a part of the public records of the
1969 Session of the General Assembly and that copies of this Resolution shall
be sent to the news media and to any interested groups or individuals, in order
that all North Carolinians learn and take pride in the actions of our forefathers
in their foresight and patriotic action in striving for independence of the 13
original colonies.
Sec. 6. All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this Resolution are hereby

"A JOINT RESOLUTION HONORING THE MEMORY OF A DEDICAT-
ED PUBLIC SERVANT AND DEVOTED NORTH CAROLINIAN, BOW-
MAN GRAY, JR.
Whereas, Bowman Gray, Jr., of Forsyth County, was born on January 15,
1907, and after a fruitful and dedicated life of service to his community, State
and industry, departed this life on April 11, 1969; and
WHEREAS, his eminence in the field of business, as chief executive officer
of Reynolds Tobacco Company and later as Chairman of the Board of that
Company; as representative of the tobacco industry in hearings before Con-
gressional Committees in 1964 and 1965 when, in the midst of threatened panic,
his calm conviction that the attacks on tobacco were unjustified, stabilized
the entire industry; and his position as a leader in the diversification of his
industry have tended to eclipse his equally great contribution to his State and
nation as a public servant and benefactor; and
WHEREAS, Bowman Gray, Jr., from his early manhood to his last crippling
illness never permitted his concern with his business enterprises to overshadow
his sense of responsibility to his fellow citizens; but rather, Mr. Gray led in such
efforts as the planning and construction of a stadium for his community which
was completed in 1938, took a major part in the establishment of the Bowman
Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest College at Winston-Salem in 1941 as
a memorial to his father, served as a member of the University of North Carolina
Board of Trustees, was a director of the Business Foundation of North Carolina
and the Research Triangle Foundation, and in many other ways quietly con-
tributed to the social and economic welfare of his community and State; and
WHEREAS, his contributions as a citizen did not stop with the borders of
his State but extended to the nation where, as an intelligence officer in the
United States Navy during World War II, he originated and organized the
concept of Operational Intelligence which afforded commanding officers in
combat current information on enemy dispositions, and originated and organized
the Harbor Entrance Control and System used throughout the Eastern Sea
Frontier as a means of controlling access to out ports and harbors, thus sub-
stantially contributing to the overall success of the nation's war effort; and
WHEREAS, Bowan Gray, in his love of hard work, his incisive intellect, his
self-effacing modesty, his dislike of publicity, his love of husbandry and of the
land, his loyalty to his friends and his neighbors, his deep attachment to his
family and to those tasks committed to him, his sensitivity to the feelings of
460 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
others, his willingness to share what fortune and industry had given him, and
his pervading sense of what was right and proper exemplify the meaning of the
phrase 'esse quam videri'; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, THE SENATE CONCURRING:
Section 1. That in the death of Bowman Gray, Jr., the State of North Caro-
lina has lost one of her most distinquished sons.
Sec. 2. That this General Assembly express its sympathy to the family of
Mr. Gray and its gratitude for his life and his contributions.
Sec. 3. That a copy of this Resolution be spread upon the minutes of both
the Senate and the House of Representatives and that copies of this Resolution
be duly certified by the Secretary of State and by him transmitted to Mrs.
Gray and to his sons, Bowman Gray, III, Frank Christian Gray, Robert Daniel
Gray, Lyons Gray and Peyton Randolph Gray.
Sec. 4. That this Resolution become effective upon its adoption."

Representative Jones of Mecklenburg requests, and is granted permission,
to send forward the following statement:
"April 30, 1969
Lady and Gentlemen of the House:
As you know, Harvard University, Cornell University, and some of the thir-
teen universities or universities-to-be in North Carolina recently have been
occupied by anarchists whose purposes include destruction of the institutions
if they are denied their demands, regardless of the survival of free education.
On the other hand, during this session of the General Assembly, resolutions
have been passed lauding certain student groups in several of our State institu-
tions of higher and lower learning.
The kudos were for certain skills in putting a leather-covered, air-filled ball
through a hoop suspended in mid-air better than anyone else in competing in-
stitutions.
Teachers who teach the students to flip not only get two or three times greater
salaries than other teachers; they are fought over and stolen by other more
affluent institutions with affluent alumni.
Whatever this body may think of these respective activities on the campuses
of these schools, and whatever action this House may take with respect to them,
permit me to call your attention to the accomplishments of a group of students
from one of the remaining colleges in North Carolina that has not changed its
title to 'university.'
This group, strangely enough, is interested in an education, in meaningful
learning in the humanities, in science, in the arts — in all the purposes for which
an institution of higher learning is established, including a search for truth. In
five consecutive weeks this group took on and vanquished Skidmore College,
Wesleyan University, the University of Arizona, Colgate University and last
Sunday Dillard University of New Orleans to achieve the championship in the
TV College Bowl classic.
They excelled in history, music, literature, art, poetry, science and other
fields of knowledge, wisdom and judgment, the real aims of education.
They brought national recognition, publicity and prestige to North Carolina,
plus $20,000 in scholarships. The Mecklenburg Delegation commends to this
body the team of Davidson College for 'demonstrating' — demonstrating to the
nation what academic excellence in the Tarheel State can mean.
Mr. Speaker, I hope that this House will join proudly in this statement of
deserved recognition of the brainy 'Cats' of Davidson College for their academic
achievements.

Spencer, president of that institution, these having been spread upon the House

Mr. Speaker Vaughn introduces a distinguished visitor, Judge David M.
Britt, who makes the following remarks:
"We are meeting tonight in a building which has meant so much in the
History of North Carolina — it has served the State long and well.
We are very proud of the Executive Branch of our Government and equally
proud of the Judicial Department of our State, and Lady and Gentlemen,
there are those of us who have served in the Legislative Branch who take equal
pride in the program instituted by this branch of government both now and in
the past times. Early in its history, it had the veto power over the Governor- —
it set his salary. Because of that action the Executive and Legislative Branch
could usually agree to meet together and work out their differences.
In 1788 it was decided there was a need to establish a permanent seat in
State Government. It had been moving around — sometimes it met in New Bern,
Hillsborough or Salisbury. It was said that the important records were hauled
around on a cart from place to place. It was agreed to locate the capital in
Raleigh and a Commission was appointed to locate the exact spot. They
finally decided to come to this spot on the plantation of Joel Lane. Most
thought because it was located close to the Tavern that served the best apple
toddy.
The Legislature had great power in those days. We are probably the most
powerful body in the world. In 1835-36, the General Assembly ran the State.
It met annually — it elected the Governor annually — it appointed the Council
of State.
In 1831 there was a turning point — the building burned down. This almost
changed the history of our State. The people from the Cape Fear area and
the people from the West wanted the Capital moved. It was finally decided
the seat of government would remain here in Raleigh. Out of this movement
there came the votes and power to strengthen our North Carolina State Govern-
ment. The Governor was elected by the people of the State — served for a two
year term — The Council of State also was elected.
In 1840, the new Capitol Building was completed at a cost of $530,000 and
has served as the heart of government since that time. (At that time they
were considering such things as Education and Transportation. Have you
heard anything about these lately?)
In 1959, when the issue of building the State House came up for debate,
the House was divided until Representative Byrd Satterfield arose and made an
impassionate plea to support the bill. He praised the virtues of the bill and
then pointed out there was one more reason to pass it. 'Gentlemen, when we
have a Joint Session in this Chamber and the Senate members are seated in
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 655
the aisles around us — remember — if there should be a fire, the first to get out
would be the Senators since there is only one door through which to leave the
House.' The bill passed.
Gentlemen and Lady, it is a pleasure to be here and thank you for the invi-
tation."
On motion of Representative Vogler, the courtesies of the floor are extended
the Honorable Thad Eure, Secretary of State, who recited many historical
and amusing incidents in connection with former sessions of the General Assem-
bly.

included in the Journal today:
REMARKS BY GOVERNOR BOB SCOTT
"The State Legislative Building commemorates the progress of North Caro-
lina and its people throughout the State's history.
It is a success story expressed in a building.
It reflects appropriately and accurately the type of good government North
Carolina has had for these many years.
730 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
The building is classical. It startles some, upsets a few and is a unique and
magnificent building to others. There is no national or historical counterpart
in the nation. Designed by Edward Stone, it has attracted the interest of
architects around the world. Several have visited us. One from Japan stood
on the steps outside and said, 'this is one of the most talked about edifices of
our time.'
However fine and picturesque, the State House is still primarily a functional
building. From 1840 until 1963, the Capitol had been the seat of government.
At best in recent years, the General Assembly had only two chambers for
seating the legislative bodies.
Clerical work was scattered around Capitol Square. If the General Assem-
bly still met there, we would have some 80 committees meeting in various
buildings around town this session. They would be in the Education Building,
the Highway Building or the Revenue Building — wherever there was an empty
room big enough to hold the group.
In the old days people would get lost on the way to committee hearings —
sometimes even the legislators lost the way. For the big issues, the House and
Senate would trek down Fayetteville Street to Memorial Auditorium.
Running the business of North Carolina demanded more and better facilities
as the State made its giant progressive strides.
Today we look around this Chamber and realize there are parking facilities
in the basement, individual offices, dining facilities, adequate committee space.
Legislators can attend the business of the State without ever having to leave
the building during the day. The three sessions here have proven its value
to us all.
North Carolina is a State to be proud of. The men whose names are engraved
on these plaques made great contributions to our State.
The State Legislative Building is a monument to the State and the people
of which I am justly proud."
REMARKS BY FORMER GOVERNOR DAN K. MOORE
"Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, and members of the 1969 General Assembly:
It is a great personal honor for me to be invited to come before this distin-
guished group. I recall my earlier visits here and the programs I presented for
the consideration of previous Assemblies. For those of you who were here to
help provide sound leadership and direction during my years as Governor, I
again express my appreciation, and urge you to give Governor Scott that same
type support.
The people of Jackson County elected me their representative to the General
Assembly many years ago. I have fond memories of those months which I
served in the beautiful old Capitol Building up Halifax Street. But even then
it was crowded and working conditions were somewhat less than ideal. Tradi-
tion was there, instilled with each passing generation of Legislators. But as
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 731
North Carolina grew and with it, the business of government, it became in-
creasingly evident that tradition and sound legislative government would have
to come to a parting of the ways.
Luther Hodges accomplished many great things while he was Governor of
this State. History will recall his diligence in seeking to strengthen the economic
foundation of North Carolina, while striving to develop new and more meaning-
ful programs for its citizens. This Legislative Building stands as a monument,
not only to his effort to streamline the governmental process, but also to his
willingness to move the State forward. He is to be commended for the part he
played.
Too much praise cannot be given the State Legislative Building Committee
and its Chairman, Thomas White of Kinston, who was then a member of the
House of Representatives. That committee of Legislators and private citizens
did an outstanding job for North Carolina. This magnificent building, which
has been praised by thousands, is evidence of the committee's work. All
members are to be commended for their efforts to insure adequate work space
for the Legislators as well as an object of beauty for all to appreciate.
Most of all, however, this Legislative Building is a tribute to the men and
women who have served and who are today serving in the General Assembly.
Buildings may contribute, but they do not make a State go forward. It takes
dedicated men and women with ability to spur a State upward and to turn
limited resources into meaningful programs for people. The names of those
who were here when this building was first utilized are on the plaques. But
more important their deeds, even as yours, will mark the progress of North
Carolina in years to come.
As a citizen of this State, I am thankful that such men and women have
come forward to serve North Carolina. Ours is a better State because of those
Senators and Representatives whose names are inscribed on the plaques we
unveil today. North Carolina will continue to grow and develop because of the
contributions made by the Legislators in the 1963 General Assembly and be-
cause of the contributions made here by each successive General Assembly.
We owe all of them a debt of gratitude."
REMARKS BY SENATOR RALPH SCOTT
PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE OF THE 1963 SESSION
"It's a genuine pleasure and privilege for me to take part in this historic
occasion, as we pause to unveil a permanent list of the first legislators to occupy
this handsome building.
A lot of us wonder how we did without such a fine facility for so long.
I was privileged to serve in the 1961 Senate — the last to sit in the old Chamber
at the Capitol.
During the six years which have passed, many a good man has come and gone
through these corridors. Our Senate President for that 1963 session, the Honor-
able Clarence Stone of Rockingham, recently left us.
732 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
We can all be grateful for the service of the 1963 legislators — those who have
been here since then — and for the Legislative Building itself."
REMARKS OF THE HONORABLE CLIFTON BLUE, FORMER
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF THE 1963 SESSION
"Friends:
It's nice to come back to the Legislative Building of North Carolina which
first stood as a silent sentinel while laws were enacted here in 1963.
It's good to see many who served in that General Assembly here today for
the unveiling of the plaque listing those who first saw legislative service in this
building in 1963.
Some members of that body have answered the final call that must come to
all one day, they being:
Hardy A. Carroll of Guilford
W. V. Cooper of Graham
Dan L. Drummond of Forsyth
S. Glenn Hawfield of Union
Austin Jones of Ashe
John H. Kerr, Jr. of Warren
Grace T. Rodenbough of Stokes
John W. Umstead, Jr. of Orange
George R. Uzzell of Rowan
Thomas H. Woodard of Wilson
I hope that I have not overlooked the passing of any member in the 1963
House.
I would like to add that across the hall in the Senate two of the stalwarts of
that session have also passed on — T. Clarence Stone who presided over the
Senate and Garland S. Garriss of Montgomery County, able legislators and
dedicated citizens.
I understand that someone has made the remark that in this Legislative
Building we have the most modern and up-to-date in the nation, but that in-
side our system is old and out-moded.
I challenge this statement.
We have a powerful General Assembly — the most powerful of any state in
the nation.
No doubt but that improvements could be made, but we must remember
that Democracy is not the most economical form of government; oftentimes
its processes are slow, cumbersome and costly, but it is well worth the price
we have to pay.
When you have a Legislature that goes zip! zip! zip! somebody's rights are
going to be trampled on and the end result will hardly be good for the people
and for democracy.
Under Hilter and Mussolini we witnessed this type legislation and our system
is far superior.
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 733
Our legislative system has been a powerful factor in making 'good govern-
ment a habit in North Carolina.'
A system with legislative proposals freely debated and aired out, with the
people given an opportunity to be heard is worth far more than a few weeks
saved in legislative expense.
I hope that the North Carolina General Assembly will long safeguard its
authority and prerogatives and in so doing it will serve the people well.
As I look back over the laws enacted by the 1963 General Assembly I feel
that the legislation providing for a comprehensive system of community colleges
and technical institutes was the capstone of that session and will have a greater
effect in bringing into fruition Aycock's dream of 'the equal right of every child
born on earth to have the opportunity 'to burgeon out all that there is within
him', than any other legislation enacted by that session or any succeeding session
until this time.
To Senator Claude Currie and Representative James B. Vogler, the com-
mittee on arrangements for this occasion, and to the members of the 1969
General Assembly, we are most grateful."

"We are debating H. B. 551, 'a bill to be entitled an act to provide for dis-
ciplinary action by trustees and administrative officers of public educational
institutions against students and employees thereof who obstruct or disrupt the
operation of such institutions.'
The subject of disorder on campus or school property is of grave concern to
our area and to the nation.
The punitive nature of this act is being debated in a mood of repressive re-
sponse, and does not approach the quiet due process that is needed in solving
the great problems of the day.
The bill ignores the numerous laws now in effect. It ignores our Constitution,
in my opinion, and will cause us much grief in the future.
The bill has been debated without giving all who sought the floor the right to
speak. It will do no good for the group it seeks to control, and will do harm to
all."

STATEMENT BY MEMBERS
"A large majority of the people of Nash County, with whom we have talked
about this, have told us they would accept a 2$ cigarette tax and a 1^ bottle
drink tax if that was the best we could do. It is our honest and sincere opinion
that this is the most favorable tax we can get for the tabacco farmer as we
honestly believe that it would be impossible to get a tax bill out of this session
without some cigarette tax in it."

STATEMENT BY MEMBER
June 21, 1969
"Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House:
I hold in my hand an amendment form. Yesterday, I held this same form and
attempted to introduce an amendment to the Revenue Bill. Because of the
refusal of the gentlemen from Halifax to yield the floor for any amendments or
debate, there was no opportunity to do so.
This General Assembly has done a number of things to open many of the
closed doors of past years. Yet on this particular bill which imposes over $95
million in taxes on the people of North Carolina, there has not been the first
minute of open debate on the floor of the House of Representatives. I am aware
of the complexity of this week's action outside the building; yet this offers no
real reason to deny to the people of this State the opportunity to hear it debated
in public. And thus far, the committee debate is the only thing to which the
public has been invited.
I hope that the closed door will open on the House floor this morning, in order
that the people can hear the debate — loud and clear. We will have to vote in
public. The constitution requires that. But this is a package, with many parts.
And the people have a right to know how we feel about these parts.
This amendment would relate to the question of imposing a crown tax on
soft drinks. It is a question which has never been discussed on the floor of this
House.
A majority of the membership of the House can support any action to cut
off debate and take us again behind the closed door. But I hope you will choose
to let the bill be debated in the full sunlight for all to see and hear.
Should the previous question be called without that privilege, however, I
believe the people of North Carolina also have a right to know who was in favor
of keeping the door closed to them. And in that event, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I will call for the ayes and noes on the previous question."

STATEMENT BY MEMBERS
"I realize that the need for long-term or mortgage money in North Carolina
is acute due to money market conditions. I object to this being used as a vehicle
for raising consumer loan ceilings and rates and I, therefore, vote 'noe'.
S/ Hunter Warlick"
"There are many salutary features in this bill. The facts of life in the financial
world demand that we liberalize the present six per cent ceiling. However,
this bill provides no ceiling on loans in excess of $300,000.00. In effect, we are
saying that no amount of interest charged on loans above $300,000.00 is usurious
and unconscionable. I cannot subscribe to this view and, therefore, I must vote
against this bill.
S/ David E. Reid"

STATEMENT BY MEMBERS
"July 2, 1969
Comments by J. Howard Coble Relating to Amendment to House Bill 487.
When this bill was passed by this House it was passed with Statewide ap-
plication. Now, upon its return from the Senate, I am astonished to learn that
my county of Guilford has been removed and excluded from the provisions of
this bill. I have been accurately advised that one of my Senators saw fit to
effect this amendment. He did not, however, see fit to contact me nor to discuss
the matter with me. I regard this action as highly improper and discourteous
and I resent same. I will not, though, stand in the way of a good bill which will
benefit this entire State, save the handful of counties which have been exempted,
whether properly or otherwise.
S/ Howard Coble"
1276 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
"July 2, 1969
MY COMMENTS BEFORE THE HOUSE RELATIVE
TO AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL NO. 487
I first heard a little while ago about the amendment to take Randolph County
out of House Bill No. 487. At this late hour, for the sake of a good Statewide
bill, I don't aim to move that Randolph County be taken out.
I understand that Senator Elton Edwards had this done. By not consulting
with me prior to taking this action, I do think Senator Edwards, who is a resident
of Guilford County and represents Randolph County, as well, showed the height
of disrespect to me as Representative from Randolph County and the people of
Randolph County.

"In view of the fact that I have agreed to assume certain responsibilities in

ELECTION OF SPEAKER
Representative Vogler announces that nominations are in order for Speaker.
Representative McMillan of Robeson places in nomination the name of
Representative Philip P. Godwin, Representative from Gates County, to serve
as Speaker for the remainder of the term.
"Mr. Chairman, honored guests, fellow members of the House of Repre-
sentatives, it is my particular pleasure and privilege to nominate for your con-
sideration as interim Speaker of the 1969 House of Representatives, replacing
our beloved Speaker Vaughn, My good friend and colleague, the Honorable
Philip Pittman Godwin of Gates County.
Because of the absence of the veto power on the part of the Governor of North
Carolina, and for other reasons, the General Assembly of this State has often
been referred to as the most powerful in the nation.
The exercise of this tremendous power in the best interest of all of the people
of North Carolina is a responsibility of awesome proportions, and requires
leadership of the finest caliber.
The Speaker of this House of Representatives, then, must be a man of the
highest integrity and ability, thoroughly versed in the history of our great State,
with a profound knowledge of the needs of our people and of their willingness to
provide for those needs. He must have the complete confidence of every member
of the House, a thorough knowledge of the character and ability of each of us,
and a fine sense of humor, in order that he might keep us from each others'
throats in the heat of legislative battle. He must have at his fingertips, for in-
1278 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
stant use, all of the rules of this House, all of the rules of parliamentary pro-
cedure, and all of the rules of human nature, together with the judgement, the
ability and the courage to use them to enact good legislation and to thwart
that which is not in the best interest of our people.
Mr. Chairman, the lady from Wayne, gentlemen of the House, I submit to
you that the Honorable Philip Pittman Godwin of Gates County has all of
these qualifications and many more.
Mr. Godwin was born in Gatesville, the county seat of Gates County, the
youngest of the five sons of Adolphus Pilston and Mabel Claire Hayes Godwin,
whose forebears go far back in the history of that section of the State and whose
family members even now serve the State in responsible positions.
Practicing law with his father and brother in the county seat of a rural county
and being exposed to the Statewide responsibilities and the tradition of service
of his family, was good training for this energetic youngster, who in the not too
distant future, was destined to play a large part, in his own right, as a leader in
the General Assembly in shaping the policies of our great State.
Upon his graduation from Gatesville High School and Fishburne Military
School, he attended Wake Forest College and Wake Forest Law School, re-
ceiving his LLB Degree in 1956.
He is still a serious student of the law — from the legislative process, to the
courts of justice, having served as a practicing attorney, as a member of the
Judicial Council, twice as a member of the Legislative Research Commission,
the Tax Study Commission, as chairman of one of the important committees of
this House in each session of the General Assembly since 1963, including both
of the Judiciary Committees, with much of the responsibility for shaping im-
portant legislation.
The people of his home town of Gatesville, his home county of Gates and
throughout the State of North Carolina have called on the many talents of Phil
Godwin, and he has responded most generously and ably, serving his local
church, the Baptist, and his community, as chairman at one time or another,
of almost every worthwhile activity.
His successful direction of local and county affairs attracted the attention of
leaders throughout the area, who entrusted him with ever broader and heavier
responsibilities, including that of President of his district Bar Association. His
fellow Democrats in this session of the Assembly made him the Chairman of
their caucus in the House and have unanimously chosen him as their candidate
for Interim Speaker.
Mr. Godwin served his country well during World War II as a staff sergeant
with the U. S. Fifth Air Force from 1943 to 1945 in the Pacific Theatre.
The finest thing he ever did was to marry the former Anita Thomas Freeman
of Gates County in 1950. They have one son, Philip Pittman Godwin, Jr., who
is 16.
There are always many aspirants for this high office, and usually there are
several active candidates.
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 1279
Why then did Phil Godwin receive the nomination of the Democratic caucus
unanimously this morning.
There are many members of this House who have outstanding records of
public service and are highly capable leaders in their own right.
Why then have these same men, without exception, agreed that Phil Godwin
would be their choice for interim Speaker?
I think the answer lies in a compelling desire on the part of this man to render
outstanding service in whatever he may undertake — a desire that drives him
to work hard to gain a thorough knowledge of the subject at hand, and then to
make his decisions and carry out his plans with the confidence and the ability
that can come only to one who has such a thorough knowledge.
Mr. Chairman, fellow members of the House, it is my considered opinion
that the Honorable Philip Pittman Godwin of Gates County is the best qualified
man available for interim Speaker of the 1969 House of Representatives, and
if elected he will make an outstanding record and an able successor to our most
able Earl Vaughn.
I, therefore, am proud to place his name in nomination for your consideration
for this high office.
S/ R. D. McMillan"

United States, to the best of my knowledge and ability; and I do solemnly and
sincerely swear that I will well and truly and faithfully execute and discharge

S/ Philip P. Godwin"
"Sworn to and subscribed before
me, this the second day of
July, 1969.
S/ A. P. Godwin, Jr.
Judge of Superior Court"
Mr. Speaker Godwin makes the following remarks and assumes the duties of
the Chair.
"Mr. Chairman, Mrs. Chase, fellow members of the House, friends from the
First District and other distinguished guests.
The honor that has just been bestowed upon me is the greatest in my life.
Accepting it I feel humble and grateful to you. I have been fortunate to have
had the experience and pleasure of serving in this honorable body under the
able leadership of such Speakers as: Honorable Joe Hunt, Clifton Blue, Pat
Taylor, David Britt, and our present Speaker, Earl W. Vaughn.
I know I speak for the membership of this body when I say that we would
like to pay tribute to him for the excellent leadership he has exhibited in the
past days of deliberation in this House. The way has not always been easy,
we have been faced with difficult and complexing problems. Problems which
definitely divided the membership. However, under the skillful guidance of
our Speaker the Ship of State was steered through stormy seas and reached the
port of responsibility, bringing with it a cargo of prosperity and good govern-
ment for our great State. I sincerely hope that I may be equipped with the
same leadership and ability to carry forth this House of Representatives in
meeting its responsibilities to the people of North Carolina.
Therefore, Mr. Speaker, I would like to express to you my personal gratitude
and that of the membership when I say thank you for a job well done, and we
extend to you our best wishes for the future.
Let me hasten to say that I am fully aware of the great responsibility which
I have accepted here, today. I am conscious of the fact that we are living in the
fast moving 20th Century. This nation will attempt to place man on the moon
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 1281
this month. Things have changed at a rapid pace and we must gear ourselves
to these changes. I accept this challenge with a pledge to perform the duties of
this office keeping foremost in my mind the importance of being fair, impartial,
patient, and understanding, always realizing that we represent all the people
of our State.
By electing me as your Speaker, you have not only honored me but the
District which I represent. I have the distinguished privilege, along with
Representative Culpepper, of representing the First District. It is the first time
in over a century that this section of our State has been so honored. I am from
a rural area of our State; however, my experience in the General Assembly has
made me ever aware of the needs of the urban areas and an understanding of
the differences that exist. I have always held to the theory that North Carolina
can always continue to progress and take its place among its sister states by the
blending of ideas of all sections of our State, keeping in mind what is best for the
State as a whole and not as a section.
If I have obtained any success on this day, I would like to give full credit where
it is due. First of all, to my parents, who provided me with a Christian home
and only the best influence that can be expected; to my wife, who has always
assisted me and given me strength when the occasion demanded it and to my
friends who have expressed trust in me.
It has been a long Session and I do not plan to make it longer by any further
remarks. Than you and I look forward to working with you and the staff,
keeping in mind my duties and responsibilities.
S/ Philip P. Godwin"

APPENDIX
INAUGURAL ADDRESS
OF
GOVERNOR ROBERT W. SCOTT
RALEIGH MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM
Friday, January 3, 1969
My fellow North Carolinians.
We come here today not merely to commemorate an event that occurs every
four years.
In the larger sense, we are here to begin anew the quest of hope and progress
that began with a brave colony implanted nearly four centuries ago on a small
island at our coast. What we seek on this day is to reaffirm our faith in our
future as a people. We resolve to achieve, as best we can, the full measure of
the promise that our future holds.
North Carolina will move ahead. We feel no resistance to progressive change —
our history bespeaks the fact that we have sought it, and benefitted by it.
Change is the essence of the problems and the opportunities that will confront
us these next four years.
A year from now brings us to the dawn of a new decade — beyond that the
dawn of a new century. The current of our times runs swift; its ripples often
turn to waves. What we must learn is to master the waves and to direct the
current — not that we seek always to sail smoothly — rather that we seek a true
course and a just destiny.
We have seen much change.
In a generation, many of us have seen the stable replaced by the machine
shed, the wagon by the truck, the kerosene lamp by the electric light, the writing
tablet by the computer. We have seen the one-room school, the general store,
all but vanish. We have seen man break the barriers of our planet and take
the first step in opening up the new frontiers of the Universe.
We have seen the dust of disuse collect in many rural communities — to a point
where they can neither attract nor hold young pepole — to a point where it is
harder for these communities to build and maintain good schools and churches
and hospitals and playgrounds.
We have seen too, our cities undergo a great period of growth — from town
to metropolis in hardly more than two decades. Yet their growth has not been
all for the good. Many now have more congestion, more crime, more social
problems and oftentimes too much unreasoned change.
We should not cry out against what has altered, for there is no retreat from
it. I view it instead as the strong challenge of a new day. My administration
will neither shrink from the obligation it offers nor from the opportunity it
presents.
1294 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
There is an old Proverb which says, "to think well is wise; to plan well, wiser;
to do well is wisest and best of all.". During the coming four years, we will
think; we will plan; we will do.
Simply stated, the broad goals of this administration are:
Government that merits the confidence of all our people.
Balanced growth for every section of our State.
Realistic and adequate planning for the future.
A united community.
Let us here and now, at the very outset of this Administration, pledge our-
selves to strengthen the confidence and support of our citizens in their govern-
ment; to seek new ideas, but to temper boldness of action with common sense;
to plan now for the new century rushing upon us; to seek the end of divisiveness
among our people.
I believe the first of the goals is foremost.
Our system of government cannot succeed without the confidence of the
people. More than that, our system of government cannot function ably unless
it gains the widespread participation of the citizens.
Our state government is a trust — bonded always by the people. It will be a
primary goal of this administration to strengthen that bond — to make state
government, and the service it renders, more responsive to the needs and aspi-
rations of our citizens.
I, and those who serve with me, cannot accomplish this alone. State govern-
ment cannot pursue this goal alone; we must somehow mesh its gears with those
of municipal and county governments if the goal is to be met — if government
in this state, taken as a whole, is to be the true servant.
I do not propose that our government be all things to all men. It cannot be
so. Yet, no matter how large, no matter how complex our society becomes, I
believe we can — we must — avoid the disenchantment and disaffection of people
who do not care because they do not believe they are heard. Should that day
come, the public confidence will be reoded beyond cure, and government will
become an empty shell, subject to collapse. This must be avoided at all costs.
For that reason — and because it is right and just — I will insist that all those
who serve with me in our state government be responsive to our citizens — •
to answer their inquiries, to meet their needs where possible and feasible, and
to make every effort to make ours truly a government of, by, and for the people.
All of us, from the lowest paid worker to the highest salaried official must at
all times remember we hold our position, not as a right or privilege, but as a
public trust and responsibility, and we should discharge our duties accordingly.
This will be an open-door administration. There will be a free and honest
flow of information from the government to the people through direct inquiry,
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 1295
news media and other means of communication. Another, yet too often over-
looked, aspect of freedom of information is that there must also be a free and
full flow of inquiry and information from people to government. And this, too,
will receive attention these next four years.
At this moment, there seems little doubt that in North Carolina the great
challenge of the next decade will be a struggle to improve our environment.
Recognizing this, my administration will seek balanced growth by attacking
problems that confront us now.
Already we are hard-pressed by a per-capita income that is far too low. We
will seek to raise it.
There is too much inadequate housing. We must find a way to remove this
blight.
There are gaps in our programs for public education. They must be closed.
There are old roads to be improved and new roads to be built. We must find
the means to finance this program.
We are blessed with natural resources — land, air, water, forests, wildlife.
Let us conserve them.
Our local governments are in need of help. Let us strengthen their hand.
Businessmen and industrial leaders must be assured of stability in govern-
ment, conditions suitable for expansion of investment, and a firm belief in the
free enterprise system. They shall have it.
Labor must be provided job opportunities with good wages and working con-
ditions. We must keep our economic growth rate at a high level to provide
these opportunities.
The early settlers described our state as "the goodliest land under the cope
of heaven." To the great majority it is. But we still have too many poor, too
many hungry, too many unskilled, too many hopeless. We have not done enough
for our physically and mentally handicapped citizens. We must redouble our
attacks on these conditions.
All these problems — and more — we must come to grips with during the early
days of this administration. I will present by recommendations on these
matters to the General Assembly later this month. It will take our total efforts
to meet these problems successfully.
At the same time, as we react to present problems, we must anticipate future
problems. We must try to build the frame work for long-range growth.
Already we see seven of ten Americans bunched together on less than two
percent of the land. In North Carolina, only four of ten persons live in an urban
area. We have yet to feel the full impact of urbanization.
Thus, we still have time to frame our future — to plan with such thoroughness
that we can master the currents of fast-changing times — to prepare for the new
century. We must act now. We can prevent many problems from occurring
and it will certainly be less expensive now to correct the ills we do have.
1296 HOUSE JOURNAL [Session
I want the next generation to say of us: "They planned well; they acted
wisely." There is no better legacy for us to leave them.
I am convinced, as have been other Governors before me, that state govern-
ment must be strengthened, particularly in its relation to the federal govern-
ment. To this end, I will work with the Governors of other states to enable the
states to have a stronger voice, a greater influence and a more effective role in
the federal system. This needs to be done — and it can be done by strong leader-
ship in the Governor's office.
President-elect Richard Xixon will assume his duties as President of the
United States on January 20th. He will be our President and as such, I wish
him well as he takes on the awesome responsibilities and burdens of the Presi-
dency.
As Governor of North Carolina, I will seek his support, and the support of
members of his administration, of any matter that will benefit our state and
our people. Furthermore, I will work closely with our Congressional delegation
to obtain those programs and projects needed in our state which will be useful
to us.
In short, my administration will be very active in state-federal relations,
seeking the maximum return of our federal tax dollar and striving always to
strengthen the role of our state with the federal government.
In the next four years, I will seek to unite our people. I will not advance
special goals nor specific programs for any single group. The emphasis will not
be on black or white, rural or urban, worker or industrialist. Instead, the
emphasis will be on programs for all North Carolinians.
I hold fast to the belief that all men are created equal in the sight of God. I
will strive to build a united community in which there is peace and harmony . . .
where men are free from fear . . . where intimidation, force and violence become
bygones of another day.
There will be no toleration of extremists who seek only to divide our people —
whether they take to the streets, whether they act unseen, whether they throw
rocks and firebombs, or whether they burn crosses in the dark of night. We will
work for the day — yes, we will live for the day — when every man walks in dignity
and is mindful that he is regarded for his individual worth and that alone.
In this hour, let us recall the words of another Governor, spoken nearly two
decades ago, in an address to a joint session of the North Carolina General
Assembly. These were the words of that Governor — my father, Kerr Scott:
"The courageous development of North Carolina through use of power of the
state government did not begin with my administration. It will not end with
it. We have been fortunate in having Governors and Legislators who had faith
in the people of this state and in the state's resources. What I want to advocate
strongly to you now is that there be no halting of the advance — that we move
steadily forward, building by plan and with confidence in the future."
I, too — with your help — will seek that path.
1969] HOUSE JOURNAL 1297
Working together, I am confident we can build a better North Carolina.
There is nothing weak or faint about the pulse of this great state. Instead, I
have found it to be strong . . . full of vitality . . . ready for the great tasks that lie
ahead.
We will not defer those tasks. We will accept the challenge. I am confident
of the future because I have confidence in our people.
Let the timid, the faint-hearted, the foot-draggers, the "do-nothings" be
forewarned. We are going to make progress during this administration. There
is work to be done, and we're going to get on with the job.
In the tradition of others who have borne this great responsibility — Luther
Hodges — Terry Sanford — Dan Moore — we, too, will point to the far plateau.
We owe my predecessors much gratitude, for these capbale leaders — each in
his own time and in his own way — advanced our State along the road of progress.
It has been said that many of the political and social troubles of the world
have arisen because privilege has failed to remember its obligation. Power is
not granted to us to make us collectors of privilege, but rather to endow us as
distributors of goodwill.
The office of Governor has both privilege and power. I will not abuse it.
I pledge to you honesty, integrity, and a conduct that will reflect credit upon
this high office, upon our proud State, and upon our good people.
I will be true to the heritage given me by my Mother, who is here today, and
my Father and their forebears. I will uphold the confidence my wife and chil-
dren have in me. I will keep the faith of my neighbors and friends from Haw-
fields and Alamance County and throughout the State.
I must thank you, the people of North Carolina, for the opportunity you have
given me. I express my thanks with sincerity and humility.
You have placed in my hands a sacred trust. I will exercise it in a manner
that will merit your continued support.
You have given me a great challenge. I accept it here today with confidence.
I embark upon my task with an unshakable faith in God as the Ruler of
Mankind.
I strongly believe that North Carolina's strength is in its people. To their
advancement I am dedicated.
