House Measure Viewed as
Political and Not Eco
nomic Measure
Bv J. c. Baskerville
The Timcs-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, Jan. 19.-The bill
to abolish some 16 state depart
ments, bureaus. commissions or
offices, introduced in the house
Monday night by Representatives
Taylor, Boyd and Garibaldl OF
Mecklenburg county, Randolph
of Swain, and Stevens of Cam
den, would not bring about any
where near the savings its advo-
Gates claim for it, according to
those who have analysed it. In
fact, the bill would be more like
" to cost the state from $4,000
900 to S5,000,000 a year rather
than bring about a saving, since
it proposes to abolish state agen-
cieS that at the present time are
saving the state at least $4,000
900 a year if not more according
to those in a position to know
the real facts. The departments,
bureaus and offices the bill would
abolish, if enacted, would not
save the state more than $780,
900 a year, on the basis of the
figures contained in the new
.1933-S5 appropriations bill.
That political considerations
are involved in the bill rather
than any real desire to bring
about any economy, is the belief
of a number of observers here.
Il is also believed that the bill is
aimed primarily at the abolition
of the industrial commission and
the abrogation of the workmen's
compensation law. with the abo-
lition of the budget bureau and
repeal of the executive budget
act the primary objective, and
that all the other bureaus, offices
and commissions were included In
the bill largely as a smoke
screen. 1t has been known TOT
months that there was deep-seat-
ed opposition to the workmen IS
compensation law and the indus
trial commission in MecklenourS
county, chiefly within a group OF
lawyers there whose damage case
practice has been much less since
! the law was enacted. As a result
il has been expected that an et-
fort would be made to repeal TINS
| law and abolish the industrial!
commission, and that this effort
would probably originate with the
Mecklenburg county delegation
Tboso who knew what had been
going on behind the scenes were
hence not greatly surprised when
this bill was introduced and when

The body was found seated in

A smudge of SCOT on the floor
Of the garage IN back or the car

lent weight to the theory that
gas had caused his death, but
the motor of the car was not

ROOSEVELT IS
DUE in CAPITAL
Reaches There at a P. M.
With Conference With
Hoover Set Friday
By UNITED PRESS

President elect Franklin d..
Roosevelt will arrive in Washing
ton tomorrow for a crowded %
hours of conferences which will
cover the whole range of pressing
problems that soon will become
his responsibility.
1t is his second visit to the
capital since his election to the
office which he will assume March
4th.
With President Hoover, Secre-
tary of State Stimson and Secre-
tary of Treasury Mills he will dis
cuss foreign affairs, particularly
the World war debt problem, Far
Eastern policy and the coming
world economic conference. This
meeting is scheduled for IL
O'Clock Friday at the White House.
This conference somewhat over
shadows the talks Roosevelt will
have with his party congressional
leaders tomorrow and tomorrow
night. Soon after he arrives here
at 4 o'clock Democratic leaders
will start their trek to his hotel
suite to seek advice on such mat
tiers as farm relief, beer legisla-
ton and the 18th amendment re-
peal, now pending in the senate,
and measures to balance the bud
get.
The leaders will tell him an ex-
ira session of congress will be
necessary to put through this pro-
gram because of the likely exer-
else of the veto power by Presl-
dent Hoover to stop enactment of
some of the measures. Democratic
leaders yesterday formally post
poned tax legislation to balance
the budget until the extra session.
They will advise Roosevelt on the
best date to call it, probably by
the middle of April.
Out of the foreign affairs dis
cussions at the White House is
likely to come some agreement
for handling the war debt prob
lem on which the president and
president-elect were unable to
agree at their earlier meeting. A
possible development is a plan for
the present administration to be-
gin direct negotiations with the
debtor nations along lines ap-
proved by Roosevelt. President
Hoover, it is understood, may
agree IL drop his proposal for a
commission to handle the problem.
Stimson and Roosevelt con-
ferred recently on the debt prob
lem, with indications they recahed
q basis for negotiations.

DEBT RELIEF
BILL DRAFTED
Measure Permitting Re-
adjustment by Courts
Ready To Be Reported

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. (UP).
Broad legislation to relieve both
private and corporate debtors
was whipped into final shape yes
terday by the house judiciary
committee as President HoOver's
desire for prompt action was re-
iterated at the White House.
The McKeown bill, which
Speaker John N. Garner has as
sured early consideration. will be
formally to the house
today. 1t was completed after. a
week devoted to perfecting it.
President Hoover sees in the
measure which he endorsed in a
recent message, a means of stav-
ing off wave of threatened
bankruptcies. In his opinion it
goes to the very roots of the de-
preston problem and represents
the longest step yet taken in the
legal relations between debtors
and creditor.
The bill, as drafted, permits
reduction or extension of debts
by court sanction. Debtors and
creditors would appeal for re-
adjustments to federal courts. 1t
revises present bankruptcy stat
utes.
The immediate objective is re-
lief of railroads which soon must
meet large maturities. 1t reaches
out also to include the hard
pressed farmer who is struggling
to meet mortgage payments.
Hundreds of thousands who are
in difficulties would be aided by
this measure, it was said at the
White House. 1t will check de-
structive forced liquidations and
thus help both the creditor and
the debtor.

'CLOTURE MOVE
FAILS, DEBATE
IS CUT SHORT
Discussion of Glass Bill To
Be Limited, One Hour
to Speaker
SENATE HARRASSED
BY FILIBUSTERS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. (UP).
The senate voluntarily ended its
own filibuster today by accept
ing an agreement to limit debate
on the Glass bank reform bill
which binds them to a schedule
limiting all senator's to one hour
debate on the bill and a half
hour on amendments.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. (UP).
The filibuster-harrassed senate
failed to stifle "Kingfish" Long
and his cohorts today when the
cloture rule to limit debate fail
ed of passage. The vote was So
to 80. The cloture measure was
backed by Democrats and fail
ure of some Republicans to sup
port it caused defeat.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. (UP).
A showdown on the gag rule
proposed by senate Democratic
leaders to silence Senator Huey
Long was scheduled today, with
Republican leaders under charge
of having conspired in the Louis
lana "Kingfish's" persistent fill
buster.
The, vote was, due at 1 p. M,
in an angry senate. Senator
Robinson, Democrat Arkansas,
leader. of the minority, repeated
ly sought yesterday to avoid the
roll call test upon which he and
others are convinced the cloture
proposal will be defeated. His
efforts failed.
Robinson said he expected
either Long or Senator Thomas,
Democrat, Oklahoma, might pro-
pose before l p. M, today a
Initiation of debate agreement
identical with that offered sew
eral times and rejected yester-
day.
But unless Senator Couzens,
Republican, Michigan, relents,
there can be no truce. He in
sists on a vote.
Couzens scuttled all hope Of
compromise in the last moments
of yesterdays session with his
indictment of the Lame Duck"
Republican leadership. No one
doubted the Michigan millionaire
was directing his fire at Presi-
dent Pro Tenn Moses and Senate
Majority Leader Watson.
Frequent floor conferences be-
tween Long and the sarcastic,
witty Moses, had previously sug-
gested to gallery observers that
the "Kingfish'' may have had
some inspiration from that quar-
ter. And it is no secret on Capt.
toll Hill that during part Of his
protracted filibuster Long has
made a headquarters of capitol
office usually utilized by Watson.

 No one knows the Big Thicket as well as Simmons. Most of his life has been spent in the woods. From his home at Votaw he puts out as guide to hunting parties, or goes out for his own enjoyment.
 He hunted for the markets un- til 25 years ago. When he quit that profession, then unrestricted by bag Hints, he had killed 2,50O deer. He since has raised the kill to 5000 or 4,000, he believes.
