BEFORE ASSEMBLY
Continued From Page One)

Continued From Page One)
TO pay less money to learners, ap-
prentices and individuals whose
earning capacity is impaired ply
sically or mentally, and to season
al workers.
Overtime
Overtime would not necessarily
have to be paid employees OF com
mon carriers whose hours and-or
wages are regulated by other gov
ermental agencies: or to persons
employed in extraordinary emer-
gencies such as storms, floods and
epidemics.
Detailed records would be kept
by employers for at least three
years. Fines of from $3.50 to $50
or imprisonment up to 80 days
could be imposed for each viola
ton. Each day the violation con
tinues would constitute a separate
violation. II violations are inten-
tional, the employee would receive
double the amount owed him, and
if unintentional he could collect
only the actual amount.
The acts minimum wages and
maximum hours section would be
effective October l, 1947, and the
remaining sections OF July l, 1947.
The house defeated, 81 to At.
a measure which would have di-
rected that the state reimburse
municipalities for taxes paid on
gasoline used in their vehicles. In
a long debate, Rep. Stone of Rock
ingham commended the bill was only
an opening wedge to divert high
way funds ana would result in
rural roads. Even now, he
said, highway funds are being used
to support the probation and parole
and the prison department.
He was supported in opposition by
Rep. Moore Of Wilson who said
estimates of the total rebates in
were s'rather vague in
hat they ranged from 500, 900 to
$500, 600 a year.
Fire Trucks
Reps. Uzzell of Rowan and Jones
If Rutherford supported the mea-
Uzzell saying that fire trucks,
for instance, use most of their
gasoline pumping water and not
along streets or roads.
ZONES said there never should have
been such a tax, anyway.

hope to circumvent a United States
Supreme court decision that the
primary is a state election and
that Negroes must be allowed to
participate.
The Democratic primary is
tantamount to election in one-party
Georgia. With repeal of state reg
ulations, the Democrats plan to
operate under their own rules
and bar Negroes from party par
ticipation. Passage of the bill is
advocated by Governor-claimant
Herman Talmadge.
Eight of the 81 sections of the
bill were approved by majorities
ranging from % to IA to % to 8 in
the Senate today despite vigorous
opposition led by Senator G.
Everett Millican, who represents
the populous Atlanta district.
Millican said the bill would not
stand a United States Supreme
court test and added that in addi-
ton to the Negroes right to vote

The bill was defended by Senator
Elex S. Weaver of Macon, another
populous area, who said it's so.e
purpose was to bar Negroes from
the Democratic ballot. He was
joined in his defense of the measure
by Senator Vendie H. Hooks, a
Baptist clergyman.
Just when the Senate would reach
a final vote on the controversial
measure was problenatical. 1t
first will vote on each section sep
arately, then on the bill as a whole.
Still to be considered is an
amendment offered by the Sen
ate's special Judiciary committee
authorizing a referendum On the
proposal in the general election
of 1913. Negroes would be given
a voice in the bills consideration
under this proposal. The commit
tee, which held public hearings on
the measure, reported it to the
Senate without recommendation.
Ta1madge Fails
While the Senate debated the
white primary bill, Herman Tai
madge, who contends he is the
states governor by virtue of his
election by the legislature, failed
for the second day to muster the
necessary two thirds majority in
the House to pass a constitutional
amendment.
The proposed amendment would
have extended the county uni
system of counting votes to the
general election. Under the unit
system, now in force in pri-
lmaries, counties have from two
to six votes and the candidate
carving the county gets the unit
vote.

GROUP IGNORES

The Congressional reorganiza-
ton act requires Congress to re-
view President Truman's budget
and set it's own ceiling on federal
spending by Feb. Is.
Quincy, as the subcommittee
adjourned it's tumultuous four-hour
session, gave this statement to re-
porters:
II did not vote for the motion.
81 should not want to jeopardize
the national security right at the
time General Marshall (Secre1ary
of State) has so many problems.
/ couldn't vote for anything that
hamstrings the national security"
Quincy declared the $4,000, COO
900 budgetary slash would mean
a 81, ESQ, 900, 900 cut in funds for
the Army and Navy.
Rep. Taber (R-NY), chairman
of the joint budget committee,
sharply disagreed with Gurney's
statement, saying tive have no de-
sire to hamstring anybody"
Bridges C0ncurs
Chairman Bridges (R-NH) of the
Senate Appropriations committee
concurred in Taber's comment
and said ''it was the feeling of the
majority that we have in no way
impaired the national security"
Those Joining Quincy in declin-
ing to vote were Senators George
(D-Ga) and Barley D-Ky). Reps.
Cannon (D-Mo) and Mahon o.
Texas voted against the resolu-
ton.
Those approving it, as reported
by Bridges, were Senators Bridges
and Millikin (R-Colo), and Reps.
Taber, Wigglesworth (R Mass,
Dirksen (R-Ill). Reed (R-NY) and
Doughton (D-NC).
Knutson, chairman Of the tax
framing House Ways and Means
committee, declared the budgetary
slash would open the way for a
reduction in individual income tax
es. He is battling for q 20 percent
''across the board" slash.

In desperation, the government
turned to its Army and Navy to-
night for ships and men, as well
as mechanical equipment, to open
goal supply lanes blocked by the
worst winter storms in more than
half a century.
A plan to use Army flame
throwers to melt huge now drifts
on the railway lines and highways,
however, was termed inpracticable
by the war office. Hundreds of
British and Polish soldiers and
German prisoners of war already
are attempting to shovel out the
supply arteries.
Authorities are considering US
ing more submarines to generate
power for shore use. Already 26
are supplying naval dockyards with
electricity, saving an estimated
1000 tons of coal weekly.
There was no indication how
long the emergency will last. At

Vandenberg, R., Mich, supported
by one bloc, was friendly to Lilien'
thai. Republican Whip Kenneth
Wherry, Nebr., and Sen. Styles
Bridges, R., N. H., leaned the
other way.
A still larger republican group
was straddling the fence awaiting
directions from Ohio's Sen. Rober1
A. Taft, chairman Of the COP pol
icy committee.
Taft was understood to be pri'
vately critical of Lilienthal ane
had been reported preparing 6
public statement Of his views. La
ter, however, he told reporters he
would not issue any statement or
the subject.
The gathering republican oppo
sition apparently stemmed from
the charges of communism hurled
repeatedly at Lilienthal by his old
time political foe, Sen. Kenneth
Mcclellan, D., Tenn. While mos
senate leaders seemed to put lit
tie stock in the accusation, there
was considerable feeling that Lii
enthal was becoming too contro
versial a figure for the all-impor'
tant atomic post.
Patterson entered a humping
denial of the communist charges
against Lilienthal, and followed
that up with a vigorous endorse
ment of the four other commits
sioners : designated as well as OF
Carroll Wilson, who has been nam
ed general manager Of the atomic

CHARGE FAILURE

Overwhelming majority Of the

which a wildlife resources commits

present department of conservation
and development, and they prom
Used that if the bill is defeated
in this legislature as it was in
1915, We're going to keep on
fighting"
Widely Signed
Thomas White Of Kinston con-
Quoted the hearing for the Wild
life Federation, and at the con.
clusion presented the committee
with petitions, ~favoring the sepa-
ration signed by several thousand
persons, both members and non.
members Of the Wildlife federation.
P. K. Gravely of Rocky Mount,
federation president, told the com
mittee that during the last Is years
game and fish had gradually dis
appeared from the fields and
streams of the state, and sit is
time for some action to be taken
to remedy a bad situation"
Asked by Sen. Alton A. Lennon
Of New Hanover if the federation
believed that anything short OF
complete separation from the Con-
servation department would rem
edy the situation, Gravely said:
1--WE believe absolute separation
is the only solution"
Failure Claimed
E. C.Bryson of Durham said that
the record of the Conservation de-
partment had been n of "abso-
lutte failure"
II say it has been a failure be-
cause when n e department took
over there we're plenty of fish in
the streams and game in the
fields" he told the committee.
Thurmond Chatham of Winston
Salem and Elkin, a former men,
Der of the Conservation and devel-
opment board, told the committee
that the rabbit population had de-
clined to such an extent that it
had been necessary to import rab-
bits from other states Tor field
trials recently. He said he felt the
public was solidly behind the sepa-
ration bill and that nothing less
than complete separation would
improve the situation.

what if the Wildlife federation
would be satisfied with the Mintz
bill for d new commission under
the Conservation department a n d
received this reply:

what we now have, and the hunters
