By J. C. RASKERVILL

Raleigh, July 10.-Although action
is still being deferred by the State
Highway and Public Works Commits
sion with regard to the prison division
and the selection of director, indi-
cations are that the commission is
waiting only for it's subcommittee to
make a report of it's findings and re-
concentrations before taking de-
finite move. This committee is COM
posed of Chairman Frank Il. Dunlap
and Commissioners Robert Grady
Johnson, of the third division, and T.
Max Watson, of the ninth division.
While this committee has not yet
made it's report as to personnel to
the full commission, indications are
that it will make it's report in the near
future. 1t is generally conceded that
the commission handed this commit
tee one of the hottest potatoes the
entire commission has ever had to
handle when it gave it the job of try
ing to iron out the wrinkles that exist
in the prison division and of trying to
bring about harmony in an Organiza-
ton regarded as being shot through
with political and personal jealousies.
Present indications are that Oscar
T. Pitts will eventually be appointed
as full director of the prison division,
that DR.. George S. Coleman will not
be retained as physician at Central
Prison, and that Warden H. H. Honey
cult will probably be moved to some
other position. 1t is also regarded as
possible that Disciplinarian L. c..
