Guilford Awaiting Consensus for Fifth Highway Chief
Guilford County remains divided over the fifth Highway Commissionership with two Greensboro figures in dispute. Former Mayor Ben Cone and Councilman Jack Lindley lead the contest, while High Point Mayor Amos R. Kearns has been floated as a compromise. Governor Umstead discussed a possible deal with Kearns and local supporters, but no agreement emerged. If no consensus is reached, Curley Powell of Reidsville is seen as the likely appointee.
