GOVERNOR CRAIG DEFENDS
COURTS OF NORTH CAROLINA
Takes Issue With Chief Justice Clark
in Controversy Over Wayne
County LYnNhiny.


RALEIGH. y. e.. January 25.--Cov-
ernor Craig has taken sharp issue with
Chief Justice Walter Clark OF the
North Carolina Supreme Court. for his
statement that the courts of the State
are really responsible for the recent
outrageous lynching in Wayne County.
rho Governor declared that the atti-
tudc or the chief justice was aStound
ing. lie insisted that the chief jus
t!cc should have made his charges
specific and named the judges Of the
state courts whom he considers re-
sponsible for the inobs.
The Governor said that there was
no disposition in North Caroline not
to administer the law. and that crime
does not go unpublished lie also said
that no reasonable person would take
the position that the negro who muir
dercd the Wayne farmer would have
gone unpublished. hut for the mob. He
, resented the position of the chief JUS
ticc in holding up North Carolina az
worse and more lawless than sicily
With it's Malta.
Tho Governor regrets that the moral
stamina OF the state is not clear OF
the responsibility for the Wayne lynch
Ing in that public sentiment has not
been sufficiently outSpoken heretofore
against mob violence. He believes that
the general dcnunciation of tho Wayne
lynchinr by the people throughout the
state will have the effect of making
this tho last lynch-law outbreak that
this State will experience.

TO UTILIZE FACTORIES

.
General CrozIcr's examination by
members OF the House committee in.
dictated that efforts would be made TO
write into the army bin definite rlana
for utilizing private munition factories
IN time Of war. The cost Of making
and storing necessary patterns and
machine attachments 50 that every
commercial rifle or ammunition factory
could be converted quickly to turn

timatcd. would be $4,000, and would
increase the governments capacity to
make 1900 new model Springfield
rifles day to n total daily production
for the country Of 1000 or more.
Without the preparation of such i'm
plemcnts In advance, he said con-
version of the plants might take a
year. II was pointed out that while
many American made rifles have gone
abroad during the present war. none OF
tho orders for the service models in
use in various armies had yet been
filed because OF the time required to
convert plants.
The only other witness heard was
Adjutant General Mccain. who repeat
ed before the Senate Committee his
belief that the United States could
not recruit for tho regular army more
than $4,000 year under any crcuin-
stances Asked what the chief diff

General McClain also disclosed that
there is now reserve OF approXi-
matcly 400 men for the regular army,
compared with the much -ridiculed force
OF sixteen early last year, of nineteen
iu July. The reserve law did not go
into operation until last November.
Admitting that the continental army
scheme was an experiment, the gem
cral said he believed trial should be
made, since he was positive an army
