House District Committee.
Two earlier city suffrage bills
passed by the Senate have been
buried there, along with a side
measure for the mere erection

The Senate action yesterday
was the result of a sudden burst
of speed that upset prior sched-
Jules. At noon Senate Majority
Leader johnson said the home
rule bill would be taken up
Thursday. But by mid after
noon, he had run out of business
ready for action, and suddenly
called up the District suffrage
measure.
Chairman Neely of the Senate
District Committee was ready.
but the sudden action took some
digging to get others there who
were involved in other Senate
business.
The Senate District Committee
reported the bill more than two
months ago.
The bill provides for the elec-
ton of a mayor, a city council
lof nine members, a board Of
Ieducation of nine members and
la non-voting District delegate
lin the House.
Payment Still Needed
In the form passed by the
Senate. the bill contains q clause
declaring that it is the belief

Georges County police have
pressed a search for a man they
call their "Pancho villa" suspect

police after several witnesses re-
ported seeing the bandolier-
wearing. rifle carrying suspect
around the area where Nancy
Marie Shomette, 16, and Michael
Ann Ryan, IA, were shot to
death.
Today The Star presents a
sketch drawn by one OF its stan
artists who, accompanied by de-
tectives, interviewed those wit
nesses. The sketch has been pre-
sented to police for whatever use
they may want to make of it in
their investigation.
Essentials Check

type, the descriptions given BY
the witnesses vary at certain
points. There are, however, sew
eral points Of general agreement
This general description ha.
been drawn from the witnesses

inch or two leeway either way

stems from the crossed bando'

RIGHT TO KNOW

This newspaper, like others, hav-
ing a high regard for the freedom
of the press. believes in the i'm
portant right of people to know.
In presenting facts or posing ques-
tions it is the aim of this paper to
stimulate thinking based on facts,
rather than half-truths.
We are confident that public
officials serving the best needs of
the people are anxious that the
people know the facts concerning
public affairs. Taxes. property val
ueS and expenditures are all part
of public record. If there are any
problems dealing with these and
other public matters, we believe
every citizen owes it to himself to
become informed. Much of this
information can be secured by ask
ing questions and getting the cor
rect answers.
There are many public records
open to the citizens. We feel sure
that public officials will be glad to
furnish other public information
citizens are interested in. The
truth about any public problem is
the best at all times. We also be-

Hoover Group
Scores Waste
In Purchases

WASHINGTON - The Hoover
Commission today reported "great
waste. duplication and overlap
ping" in government buying and
handling of food and clothing.
The commission on organization
of the executive branch of the
government said taxpayers could
be saved $40 million dollars a
year through unified, efficient
management and tighter inven-
tory controls.
The commission, headed by for
Yner President Herbert Hoover,
called for a substantial overhaul
ing of this phase of government
operations, particularly by the
armed forces. The services ac-
count for more than $1.700.00O of
the yearly federal outlay for sub
Sistence.
Major recommendations in the
latest of a series of commission
reports included:
/. Creation within the Defense
department of a central agency to
handle procurement, distribution.
warehousing and management of
the food supply for the armed
forces.
2. Establishment of a similar
central agency to take over full
responsibility for clothing supplies
for the armed forces.
3. Assumption by the General
Services Administration of full re-
sponsibility for procurement and
distribution of food and other
common use items for all civilian
government agencies.

IMPROVED
CLARK BILL
(HickOry Daily RecOrdD

NhickOry Dally hecOr0D
We agree with the Winston -Sa-
lem Journal that Representative
David Clark's bill proposing an
nual sessions of the North Caro-
lima General Assembly, has been
considerably improved by a pro-
vision that would restrict the busi-
ness to be transacted in even
numbered years.
AS the Winston Salem editor eX-
plains. it would be well to limit
consideration to appropriations
and revenue bills during the ses-
sions in even-numbered years. ex-
cept by joint resolution of both
houses of the Legislature.
The only real argument for an
nual session is that fiscal condi-
tions frequently change so greatly
over two-year period that the
Assemblymen are at distinct dis
advantage when the sessions are
bi-annual.
The Record is especially i'm
pressed with the suggestion of The
Journal that the proposed consti-
tutional amendment to be submit
ted to the voters, could be further
strengthened by incorporating a
flat ban against consideration of
local bills and a definite time limit
on the even-year sessions.
Mr.. Clark's bill would provide
for limiting the pay to seventy five
days in odd years and sixty days
in even years. To require auto
matte adjournment, perhaps in
thirty or forty-five days, in even
years might give an extra push to
the lawmaking machinery. In an
emergency. the Governor could
call a special session at the end of
the regular term.

of the Institute of Government
on the work of the North Caro-
lima General Assembly of 1855.
1t is confined to discussions of
matters of general interest and
MOTOR importance.
The growing length of this leg
iSlative session is apparently
strengthening sentiment for an
nual meetings. An annual-ses-
sion constitutional amendment
received committee approval in
the House the past week, and
chances of it's passage. and pas
sage of some kind of legislative
pay raise, are considered excel
lent. Meanwhile, committees. sub
committees, and subcommittee
committees, and sub-subcommit-
tees worked feveriShly to ready
appropriations and revenue bills,
the twin keys to adjournment.
The end of the second week of
May is still the best guess as to
an adjournment day.
