Raleigh-A policy of co-operat-
ing with the provisions of the MIRA
in making purchases of state needs
was approved blythe board of
awards of the department Of pur-
chase and contract, but it was, said
no beycotts were contemplated.
A. S. Brewer, director, declared
in a statement that st was nos
the opinion Of the board that such
cooperation contemplated or re-
quired that a bycort be declared
against any farm or individual
business in the state"
The board considered the status
of existing contracts "in the light
of rapidly changing business CON

and reached the opinion that
contracts recently entered into
should be carried out as originally
written"
The department recently award
ed a contract to the Ford Motor

On the basis of ships now under

powers that date will be: Japan

Viola Squires thought her cup Of
happiness was full when she became
the IA, year old bride OF Roy Leary,

On September l6 a daughter was

Mrs. Leary will not be IS years old

Here was the scene OF that I'M
fortunate march of Hitler, Luden-
dorf and their companions in
1923, the beer hall putSch, when
salvo from police machine guns
scattered and dissuaded them.
The Hitler cause touched bottom.
And the uneasily breeding me-
mortal here also represents the
Hitler triumph of bringing Ba-
varia into complete unity and as
similation with the rest of Ger
many.
The graceful loggia in the
Odeonsplatz is hung with mourn
ing wreaths, each to one of the
lost provinces of the Fatherland,

Uns Fret
Germany has not forgotten her
cut off territory. Hitler, not to be
surpassed, omits no opportunity
to proclaim his Brown Shirts the
blood brothers of the war heroes.
Nothing could be farther apart
temperamentally than the Luth-
eran dogmatic Prussians and the
Catholic easy-going Bavarians.
The Bavarians. still clarifying
their own royal house represented
bv former Crown Prince Rup-
precht. have a traditional antlp-
athy toward Prussia. They would
not impress one as good NaA
material.
When Bismarck formed the old
German empire he left the BaVa-
rian kingdom in independent con-
troll of its railroads and postal
system and with various other
sovereign rights. Some Of these
were surrendered at the coming OF
the German republic, but still the
Bavarian government functioned
independently from the rest OF
Germany in many important local
variations.
Whenever a representative OF
the Berlin government starts down
to take charge of Bavaria, an
nounced DR.. George Helm, leader
of the Bavarian Peoples party
last winter, he will be shot at
the border"
So Munich. adopted home OF
Hitler in Germany, still offered
unique difficulties to the Nazls.
And yet a system which sought to
bring every individual into regi-
mented control of the central gov
eminent could not be baked by
line on the map.
A week after the election OF
March 5. when Hitler was seated
in power beyond the possibility OF
dispute. Storm Troopers staged
putsch which quietly bounced OUT
the local government. Bavaria was
reorganized as thoroughgolng
unit of the Nazi state.
~ENERAL Won EPP came in
" serenely as governor ana
Bavaria was Hitler's. 1t was feat
which Bismarck had been unable
to do. therefore all the more
feather in Hitlers cap. Germany
remains tremendously impressed.
One very good reason for Ba-
varia's submission is her economic
dependence upon the rest of Ger
many. There was talk of separa-
tiOn. But Bavaria would be lost
