U. N. C. Trustees Meet Next Week; Talk President BY J. C. RASKRRHU. Dally Dispatch Sarrai, la the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh. Sept. 19.—The meeting of the executive committee of the board of trustees of the University of North Carolina will be held Wednesday, September 28. instead of Friday, Sep tember 23. as originally scheduled, tt was announced today by Governor O. Max Gardner. This will be the first official meet ing of the new executive committee and many important matters are ex pected to come before it. One of the most important of these will be the formulation of plans for the selection of a president for the new consolidat ed university. The executive commit tee must study the situ&tion/tand re port to the entire board its recom mendations for president of the con solidated university, together with Its recommendations for the three vice presidents of the separate units. It is expected that the board of trustees will, as usual, follow the recommenda tions of the executive committee and elect the president and vice-presidents suggested by it. UTILITY COMPANIES FACE HARD BATTLE (Ooettnued from Fags one.) present time the rates charged by most of the utility companies—espe- cially the power companies—are any thing but uniform and highly dis criminatory. The association also maintains that the earnings of most of these companies are based on in flated valuations of properties, and that these inflated values are also used in setting up their rate sche dules. As long as the activities of the fair rate association were limited only to Charlotte and Mecklenburg county, where it was organized and incor porated, it was not regarded as being 'f more than local significance. But lince it has enlarged its activities and announced that it is going to seek members In every city and town in the State served by utilities com panies, it is agreed here that the as sociation Is assuming Statewide im portance. For those in political cir cles here know that if this associa tion succeeds in getting 30.000 mem bers, or even 20.0(H). that it can bring powerful pressure to bear on the next General Assembly and to a large ex tent offset the effect of the powerful lobbies maintained here by the power and other utilities companies. It is being recalled that the power com panies were seriously threatened with thj imposition of a kilowatt hour sale* tax in the 1981 General Assembly and defeated it only with a very nar row margin .And there was no sem blance of organization on the part of any of the utility and power users in 1931. Officers of the Fair Utilities Rate Association maintain that they and the association are being subjected to a persistent campaign of propaganda designated to misrepresent the asso ciation and to discredit it. according o B. E. Barksdale, secretary, now engaged in organizing membership drives in various sections of the State. The power companies especially are trying to give the impression that the association is radical, socialistic, dan gerous and destructive in its alms and objectives, Barksdale maintains. These charges are not borne out from a read lng of the association’s charter, he points out. It has also been rumored that the association has been trying to block he present efforts of the State Cor poration Commission to bring about 1 downward adjustment of power and other utility rates without the neces sity for Instituting formal proceedings against these companies. Officers of ’he fair rate association maintain that his mofe has their strongest approval md that they are exceedingly anxious 'o see the present effort of the com mission to obtain lower rates prove uccessful. They maintain, however, that what ever rate adjustments do result from he present efforts of the Corporation f’ommission will be more or less tem orary adjustment and based entirely ipon facts and figures supplied the "ommission by the utilities com panies. They consequently feel that these rate adjustments will be based very largely on guess work rather han on facts, and hence should be only temporary adjustments pending ■i final and more through investiga ion based on the independent, im lartial appraisal by the State of all itilties properties. It is to secure a aw making such an appraisal man latory that the association is working toward. It is no secret that the power and utilities companies do not want any uch law and that they have always fought any such move In the past •vigorously and successfully. The Cor poration Commission asked for an appropriation with which to make such an appraisal in 1931, but the power lobby killed it. t may not *o successful in 1933. however. ___ DEMOCRATIC RALLY AT HIGH POINT IS SIGNIFICANT EVENT (Continued from Page One.) ocrats as well as young Democrats. In fact, many remarked that it was as representative a Democratic gath ering as could be assembled anywhhre. Yet there was no sulking in a comer on th* part of any one. Every one was good natured. smiling, happy and enthusiastic. They felt that the tide has turned and that this Is going to be a Democratic year. There was no ballyhoo and no note of overconfid ence evident, but rather a feeling of conviction and a willingness to get out and Work pervaded the atmos phere. If any Republicans were pre sent, they undoubtedly went away dis couraged and heavy-hearted. While the various Democratic can didates were given a rousing recep tion, it wti Governor O. MtK Gardner HENDERSON, (K.C.J DAILY DISPATCH MONDAY SEPTEMBER 1© 1982 “* Whose niche in the State Democratic hall of fame is more deeply carved than ever, it was “Oub Bob” Reynolds the Democratic candidate for the Sen ate, who undoubtedly attracted the most interest and Who got the big gest demonstration. The crowd cheer ed Gardner because he is the govor rtor and because he is recognized as being more important and influential ih party councils now than ever be fore, and because he is known to be a very close and influential friend of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Those present listened carefully and.enthusiastically to Governor Gardner’s speech, in Which he dellnated Roosevelt as a man of courage and action. They Agreed it was probably the best speech of all. But it was Reynolds, with his amazing showmanship, his magnetic ■personality, his delightful sense of humor and ability to ridicule without leaving a sting, that intrgued the crowd most. For almost two hours be fore the spe&kng program started, the crowd followed Reynolds from place to place, just to watch him shake hands with people, to hear what he had to say to tem and to see how many he knew by name. And he knew most of them by name. Several times his handshaking tide up traffic so that highway patrolmen had to ask him to move hi* base or operation so tat cars could get through to the park ing space. J. C. B. Ehringhaus. the Democratic candidate for governor, was fully as busy as Reynolds in greeting and talk ing with people- and he knew Just about as many by name as did Rey nolds. There was sincerity and whole hearted conviction in everything Ehringhaus did and said and he was given a most enthusiastic welcome by every one. But he is not the show man Reynolds is nor does he have quite as intriguing a ’line” as the senatorial candidate, though he is a much abler speaker as far as thought and content are concerned. Abler and appropriate talks were tnade by Senator J. W. Bailey ,of Raleigh, and William B. Umstead, candidate for Congress from the new sixth district, while the introductory' remarks of Edwin Martinet, president of the Guilford county Club of Young Democrats, who presided, were ap propriate and to the point. But all these knew that the crowd was pri marily interested in hearing Ehring haus and Reynolds and accordingly made their remarks brief. The high spots on the program were when Reynolds and Ehringhaus came to bat. And even though Reynolds rambled somewhat, the crowd whoop ed in delight at his stories. It was a great event, likewise significant. Such enthusiasm can’t be stopped.

"Wihait I am trying to do,” wrote Editor White, “is to agitate for an amendment to the constitution that may be used not only now but in years to come, when similar crises arise. “I don’t hold for any threc-fojrths of the states. I would provide for a mandatory petition to Congress which would call for a direct vote referen dum. The amendatory petition cuuld be signed by a majority of both housed in the legislature in two-fifth 3. not three-fourtha, of the states, providing those two-fifths of the states had a majority of the population of the Unit ed States. Then any section -east, west, north or south—which felt Itself aggrieved, could try its strength and see If it really represented a majority or a miinority. If it failed to get the legislatur ein two-fifths of the states having a majority of the population cf the United Slates, it would then realize it was a minority and shut up, and go to agitating until it could convince enough people to get the mandatory petition going. “Then, after the mandatory petition had gone to congress and a referendum we should after all have to consider had been ordered for a direct vote, that this Is a compact of states and that a la wpassed merely by a major ity of the people of the United States would meet opposition in the senate, where each state is still represented by two senators. Three-Fifths’ Majority “So that, for a workable, satisfactory referendum, not only on prohibition but upon a dozen things that might be as critical as prohibition in the coming years, a majority of the people of the United Slates should also in elude a majority of the people in a majority of the states, but. not a three fourths majority; I should say three fifths majority, which would be 29 states. “It would be unfair obviously for a purely sectional majority, of the peo ple of the United States, however un animously they might feel about a pro position, to dominate the people of the stales. So long as the senate h?d to pass on the legislation directed by the referendum, the referendum would be abortive If it did not include a major , ily of the states. “I would vastly rather see the right to a referendum in the constitution, properly safeguarded and providing for two or three years of debate, than to see any other economic or political measure survive or perish. The right is a fundamental right, a safety valve which will hold the republic together by proving to minorities that they arc merely minorities and that they should sit down and be good after their agita tion has failed to establish their right to go to the people because thye are demonstrated minorities.” The thinker radiates Ideas, the man of action applies them.

Ehringhaus and Robert R. Reynolds Democratic candidate for the Senate, are slated to address a Democratic rally Thursday in Charlotte. On the Republican side, Jake Newell, that party’s candidate for the Senate, is expected to continue the visits he has been making into va rious counties. He opened the G. O. P. campaign in Durham county last Fri day night. No advance dates for Clifford Frazier, Republican candidate for governor, have been announced as yet. Congressional candidates also are getting into action. R. L.

Charles A. Jonas, Lincoln Repub lican and former congressman, open ed his campaign for the tenth district seat with a speech last Friday night in Hickory, in which he pleaded for an ‘’adjournment’’ of partisan politics. Jonas is opposed by Major A. L. Bulwinkle, the Democratic incumbent, who opened his campaign Saturday with an address at Lincolnton, capi tal of Jonas' county.
