CONVENTION CENTER
STOCK SALES SLOW
Shares Available. Aeeerdins to Members
Of ihs Cooperation; $4,000 Need
cd TO Assure Completion

Stock sales for the Convention
Center and Museum at Kill Devil
Hills have been slow in recent
months according to directors of
the corporation. David Stick, presi-
dent of the board has stated that
subscription sales have been low
because of the number of people
in the area on vacations and the
handicap placed upon the organi-
zation in its articles of incorpora-
ton. According to Stick, the arti-
cles will not allow the employment
of personnel for selling shares of
the corporations stock. The direc-
tors of the corporation have stated
that only $4,000 has been collect
ed thus far on the center. This
amount is $4,000 short of the nee
essary capital to finance the pro-
ject. The biggest problem, the
directors state, is "the fact that all
citizens in the tourist business are
for it, but there is an aversion on
the part Of members to selling
stock"
Stock in the corporation is now
on sale and may be purchased from
any of the directors. 1900 shares
are available for purchase from the
organization at 500 per share.
Annual estimated income for the
and center during the first
year of operation is $4,000.

BY JACK BELL
Associated Press Staff Writer

Senator Humphrey, Democrat
of Minnesota, said today there
is a very good chance Robert
c. Weaver soon will become the
first Negro cabinet member
as Secretary of Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare. Republicans
are publicly urging the move.
Senator Humphrey, the as
sistant Senate Democratic
leader, said he would not be
at all surprised if President
Kennedy names Mr.. Weaver
to succeed Secretary Ribicoff.
The Senator said Mr.. Weaver
is we'll qualified for the post.
Mr.. Ribicoff has announced
he expects to campaign in Con-
necticut this year. Friends
have said they have no doubt
he will seek the Democratic
nomination to oppose G. o. P.
Senator Bush.
Dirksen FavOrs Move
Republicans have accused
Mr.. Kennedy of injecting the
racial issue in the controversy
over his proposed cabinet-level
Department of Urban Affairs
by his announcement he would
name Mr.. Weaver, the housing
administrator, to head the
agency.
With the House expected to
kill Mr.. Kennedy's reorganiza-
ton plan, there would be no
new department for Mr.. Weaver
to head.
In this situation, Senate Re-
publican Leader Dirksen of
Illinois suggested yesterday
that Mr.. Kennedy could name
Mr.. Weaver to succeed Mr..
Ribicoff land there wouldn't
be a Republican vote against
him" when his nomination was
considered.
Representative Bob Wilson of
California, chairman of the
Republican Congressional Cam
paign Committee, followed this
up with a. telegram to the Presi-
dent in which he said an an
nouncement that Mr.. Weaver
would succeed Mr.. Ribicoff
would eliminate completely
any suggestion of racism" in
connection with the urban af-
fairs proposal.
Choice Of Woman Pressed
Before Mr.. Kennedy accepts
any such advice, however, it
appears likely he will have to
give some thought to the posi-
bility of naming a woman to
the cabinet. Former President
Elsenhower's first Welfare Sec
retary was Mrs. Oveta Culp
Hobby.
MIR. Kennedy has told his

Commission on the Status q
Women that he wants to make
it certain women can hold jobs
without any discrimination
by law or by implication"
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, who
heads the commission, has sug-
gested that perhaps it would
be a good idea to have a woman
in the cabinet.
If the President comes around
to any such decision, specula-
ton centers on his possible
choice of Representative Green,
Democrat of oregon, for the
welfare post.
Mrs. Green, So year old
mother of two sons, was a
pre-convention supporter of
Mr.. Kennedy in 1860. She was
an Oregon school teacher for
IA years.
