Legislators Pick Pullman To Cullowhee (From the Durham Herald) RALEIGH — Legislators skittish about flying were let off the hook Thursday. But it'll cost them. Air travel had been planned for the General Assembly's May 14 trip to Cullowhee, a fact that met with some resistance. "The Southern Railway has come to the rescue," Sen. Oral L. Vales of Haywood Ctytm nounced Thursday. "They have placed at our disposal one of their most modern trains." It will cost each member $5 for the round trip, Yates said, in order to meet the requirements of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The ICC, it seems, won't allow the Southern to provide free service. Even so, it will be a bargain, Yates said. The members will have two nights in a pullman, boarding the train in Raleigh on the night of May 13 and returning the next night from Cullowhee.
