NEW LIFE ... One of the more able young senators in the 1957 session of the General Assembly was handsome and erudite Bill Cobb of Morganton, new chairman of the Republican Party in North Carolina.
As modern as they come with a flair of publicity and sharp public relations, Cobb last week began taking steps to put new life in the GOP in North Carolina. His predecessor, Ray Jennings of Taylorsville, needed to get back to his law practice and big, growing family.
Stung by some pungent Cobb comment, Gov. Luther Hodges said perhaps the "office has gone to his head". Not at all, Governor. Bill Cobb is just being a good Republican. You may not agree with everything he does and says while leading the party-but there will be activity.
