man B. Wisby, 37-year-old former city
school superintendent, admitted he re-
ported robbery at the Mckinley

Raleigh, Jan. 5.--Those who have
ascribed to Governor Clyde r. Hoey
q disinclination to take any stand in
viting controversy were somewhat
rudely jolted by His Excellency's ad-
dress delivered today at noon to a
joint session of the General Assembly.
This, shock comes from the fact that
several phases of the address landed
the governor flatfootedly in the mid
die of enough controversy to keep de-
bate going from now until Kingdom
Come.
Without time for a very full and
complete section by section analysis
OF the address, it is entirely obvious
even to him who reads as he runs
that the governors stand IS matter
of diversion of highway funds and a
constitutional amendment banning
that practice will start legislative
brawl of almost endless proportions
His advocacy of a $5,000,000 bond
issue for improving. primary roads of
the State will also involve more
than ordinary controversy; not so
much because Of opposition to such
an issue, in principle, but because
there will be those who want an is
sue of the same, or greater, size for
secondary road improvement.
The gubernatorial stand against
eny modification of the sales tax, or
any further exemptions under it, will
likewise set some of the legislators
raging.
