House Adopts Conference
Report and Senate Is
Ready to Act
SCHOOL MACHINERY
BILL UP In HOUSE
By J. c. BASKERVILLE
The Times News Bureau
SIR Walter Hotel

RALEIGH. May G.-The adop-
ton Of the conference report on
the revenue bill by the house yes
terday and its passage of the re-
port on second reading early this
morning in a session that con-
vened at 1905 q. NJ, at last
brings the possibility Of final adj
jOurnment bv Thursday, May H..
The house can now adopt the con-
ference report on third reading
Monday afternoon or night. MAX
ing it possible for the senate to
adopt the report on its first read
ing there Tuesday, second reading
on Wednesday and third reading
on Thursday. If all other business
can be gotten out of the way by
Thursday night. the general as
sembly could adjourn then. But
indications are that the gavelS
will not fall closing the session
sine die until Friday night.
There is virtually no possibility
that any further entanglements
will be run into in the approval Of
the conference report on the reve-
nue. bill. and not much trouble is
expected in passing the school
machinery bill i'm the house. de-
sDite the intense opposition to the
Griffin senate bill from the school
forces Of the state. As 4 result,
it, is believed thai both these ma
Tor bills as we'll as the other more
important bills still before the as
Sembly can be acted upon by Fri
da< at the latest.
The three things that caused
the adoption of the conference
committee report on the revenue
bill by the house. more than any
thing else. were:
l. The realization that the COM
promise agreed to by the confer
ence' committee was probably the
ONLY compromise which the sem
ate would accept and that moth
ing but delay would result from
its rejection.
,. The realization that a reve-
nue. bill of some sort that would
balance the budget and preserve
the credit of the state had to be
adopted sooner or later. and that
this was the only bill worked out
in more than four months upon
which both houses were anywhere
near agreement.
>. The desire Of the members
to get through and get home to
their own fresides and business
and stop the heavy drain on their
private funds, since none of the
members have received any pay
from the state since early March.
There were some other factors
entering into the situation, of
course. but it is agreed that these
three were tue most weighty.

SOVIET REASSURES /
. LABOR|NG MASSES.
Spokesman Says 0vercroWd-

spread Deportation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW. February 2.-In an effort
to quiet fears engendered among great
numbers Of residents Of large cities by
the recent adoption of passport sys-
TEN, the government has treasured
bona f1de laboring elements that there
is nothing for them to be alarmed about.
This assurance came in the form Of
publication of recent speech by the
secretary Of the Central Economic
Council, which conceded with the end
of the first week of operation of 450
special bureaus in Moscow and pro-
portionate number in other cities, which
are examining the passport qualifica-
tions of citizens.
Ineligibles Must Leave.
Those ineligible for passports are
compelled to leave the cities. Many,
doubtful Of their ability to qualify, have
uneasily awaited the final verdict or
already are leaving in small numbers
Acknowledging serious overcrowding
in the cities, primarily due to the fact
large numbers have fled from the COL
lective farms, the secretary said this
migration had resulted not only in a
concentration of undesirables in the cit
ies but also in greatly overlooking the
transportation system
This senseless movement Of great
masses of the population has created
incredible difficulties in the matter of
food supplies and Lodgings" he said,
since the revolution. any stamped
piece of paper, sometimes even a physi-
ument of Identification for registration
in any city.
Hits Aimless Movement.
1T was necessary to halt this aim
less movement of the population. The
passport system will help us to purge
the cities of undesirables and to guar
antee better conditions for those who
really want to work"
Deprecating legends" which he said
had appeared in connection with the
passport decree. the secretary described
"the absurd fancy of an anti-Soviet
correspondent in an article in the for
eign press asserting that large masses
of people were fleeing afoot from Mos
COW.
Without estimating the number of
persons who will be affected, he said,
I'VE will not give passports to those not
occupied in productive labor, to those
who have left the villages because they
did not want to work on the collective
farms, nor to criminals, but the real
workers Of Moscow and other cities
have nothing to fear"
