HEARON RESIGNS FROM
HIGHWAY COMMISSION

Columbia, Feb. 14-The crisis came
in the state highway controversy this
afternoon when the commission, after
an all-day session, including confer
ence with Governor Cooper, accepted
the resignation of the state highway
engineer, C. H. Moorefeld. This ac-
ton was followed by the resignation
of Charles O. Hearon of Spartanburg
from the commission who, it is un-
derstood, was opposed to accepting
Mr.. Moorefeld's resignation. Mr.
Hearon mailed his resignation to
Governor Cooper.
Mr.. Moorefeld's resignation is ef-
fective March 1st.
Mr.. Moorefeld's resignation was
rendered several days ago when 1t
was stated that the fight on state
highway department could be stopped
if he were eliminated. He took the
position he had no desire to be the
cause of strife, and if his resignation
would compose matters he would be
glad to have it accepted. Governor
Cooper supported the contention that
Mr.. Moorefeld's letter to Mr.. Mac
Donald, chief of the bureau of roads
in Washington, printed some days
ago, was an indiscretion that made
his resignation necessary. Just what
will be the legislative effect Of today's
developments is not clear. Those who
have been making fight on the high:
way commission in the house have
said they were not "after" Mr.. Moore
field, while members of the senatc
have said any fight on the highway de
partment would have failed in thai
body. 80
Mr.. Hearon, speaking of his act:o'
said tonight: 81 resigned from tt

Washington. Dec. is.--Postpone.
ment of the attempt to sidetrack
the ship subsidy bill for the Norris
farm marketing measure was forced
today when a group in the senate
announced its intention OF debating
the motion OF Senator Norris.
Norris previously had indicated
his intention of pressing to a vote
his motion to set aside the ship
subsidy for consideration OF the
farm marketing measure.
In view OF some strenuous objec-
tions. however. IL was considered
probable that the showdown would
not come for several days-prob-
ably after the banking and cur
rency committee had reported out
other more favorable farm credits
measures upon which hearings now
are being held.
Senator Jones. Washington, in
charge of the subsidy bill. offered
a unanimous consent agreement to
vote on the Norris motion at p.
m. tomorrow, but so much dissatis-
faction was expressed with the
motion that he finally withdrew 1t.
