RELIEF WORK
Mrs. Kirk Knows OF No Ac-
ton Taken Relative to
w. M. Sherard

Mrs. William Redin Kirk, chair
man of the Henderson bounty ad-
visory council on relief, today
stated that as far as she knew no
action had been taken by the state
relief organization on the recon-
mendation that w. M. Sherard,
former mayor of Hendersonville,
be named as relief director for
Henderson county.
Mrs. Kirk stated that she had
only recently received commu-
nication from Miss Pearl Weaver,
district director of relief, and
that Miss Weaver made no men
ton of any action on the recon-
mendation of Mr.. Sherard.
Mrs. Kirk stated further that
there was a federal ruling in eff.
feet that all directors of relief
must be trained workers.
Mrs. Thomas O'Berry, state d.
rector of relief, Mrs. Kirk said,
had recently been called to Wash
ington for a conference, and it is
expected that changes in the local
office, not necessarily changes in
personnel, however. may be ell
fected as a result of this confer
ence. 1t was Mrs. O'Berry's opin-
ion that the relief work might be
placed entirely on a work project
basis as result of this confer
ence.
A. Flicker, who has been assist
ing in the relief office, stated to-
day that Miss Weaver had asked
him to help direct the work, and
that he told P. F. Patton, a mem
Der of the advisory council, that
he would be glad to help.
Mr.. Flicker further stated that
the matter of salary for his
work had not been discussed, and
that he was unable to state wheth-
er his position would be perma-
nent or not. He stated that If he
could be of help he would gladly
remain in the relief office. but
that if he was unable to do the
work he would be glad to leave
the organization.

CHARLIE PRICE.
IS NOMINA TED.
VINO. MARSHAL
Senator REYNOLDS Changes
Stand in Favor of Char
lotte Officer
TO ASK CHARLOTTE BE
MADE HEADQUARTERS

CHARLOTTE, Nov. 17.-Char-
lie r. Price of Charlotte. was
yesterday nominated by Senator
Robert R. Reynolds to be United
States marshall for the western
district of North Carolina.
Senator Reynolds sent in the
name of the Charlotte man after
he had withdrawn that of Mckee
Cooper of Asheville, whom he
nominated eight months ago. Mr..
Price is expected to be appointed
within the next week or so and
be sworn in to succeed Brownlow
Jackson of Hendersonville, Re-
publican incumbent, who some
time ago resigned, effective De-
cember.
Mr.. Price will probably be one
of the youngest United States
marshals in the entire country.
He is only 39 years old. He has
had considerable experience in
law enforcement work. however,
and is a member of the Interna-
tional and North Carolina Asso-
Citations of Police Chiefs and was
for several years police chief at
Forest City. He served also in
the police department at Hickory,
and. for two years was police
ckief.at West Hickory. He was
born + in Alexander county and
reared in Iredell.
Last night the nominee said he
expected, if his nomination is APP
proved, to ask that the marshaPs
office be moved to Charlotte
from Asheville. Charlotte will be
a more central location, and the
business of the marshaPs office
can be handled with greater dis
patch from here. it is felt.
The change in Senator Rey-
nolds' position yesterday was.
somewhat dramatic, Mckee Coop
err had been one of the senator's
original supporters and had
espoused his cause since the very
day of the Reynolds announce
ment that he would seek a seat
in the senate. After a fight had
developed on Mr.. Cooper, largely
on the grounds that he and Mar
Gus Erwin, nominated for district
attorney, were both from Ashe-
vile the senator several times rel
terated his intention to stand by
his Asheville friend for the mar
shalship. But for the last few
days it was known that Mr.. Rey-
nolds was contemplating the Of
fering Of Mr.. Price for the office
and late yesterday it was an
nounced at the Reynolds office
that Mr.. Cooper had withdrawn
as means of preserving har-
mony in our ranks and promoting
the welfare of the Democratic
party"
The withdrawal of Mr.. Cooper
was the climax of a fight that
had been directed against him
and Mr.. Erwin for the last few
months by Democratic leaders in
the western district who contend
ed that two major positions
should not be given to Demo-
Gratis of Reynolds home city and
who declared further that the
appointments would not represent
the wishes of the majority OF
Democrats in the western dis
trict.
