Lt Gov Hodges announced the 28th final Senate committee of the 1953 General Assembly the committee on university trustees with Sen Rankin of Gastonia as chairman and J Wil of Hertford as vice chairman. Eight committees were abolished or combined in a streamlining push. House Speaker Best will name House committee assignments likely Tuesday and joint appropriations chairmen will begin hearings on the $602,415,356 biannual budget. If agencies seek more funds the pattern suggests requests totalling about $150,000,000 above the Advisory Budget Commission recommendation. The balanced biennial budget could need tax revisions or highway fund increases to stay in balance. Gov Umstead urged study of sales tax revisions and highway funds.
