The trio, new sustaining fea-

Just how they came by the name.
The story is this. The three
were to sing before a Democratic

Franklin D. Roosevelt was to at
tend. So in honor of the First
Lady of the Land. they called
themselves the Roosevelt Trio.
The association didn't have its

Nevertheless, they liked the name

n. c. ECONOMY
IS IMPENDED
Campaign to Lessen State
Expense losing Its
Momentum
By J. C. Baskerville.
The FINEST News Bureau
kTr Waller Hotel

RALEIGH, Jan. 16.-The drive
for economy and salary slashing
that opened with such a blare OF
trumpets 10 days ago when the
general assembly first convened
seems to be losing momentum.
So far every person whose salary
it was proposed % cut is still
getting the same amount and at
present the only bill that seems
imminent Of enactment is the one
being prepared by he joint house
and senate committee on salary
and fees to reduce he salaries Of
Legislative employe; an average
of about 81 da't This bill, if
enacted. probbaly will not save
the state more than $500 for
the entire legislative session,
which amount will not go far to-
wards making up the present gov
ernmental operating deficit Of
about S5,O00,000 a year.
The more important economy
bills introduced so far and their
status at present, are as follows:
The bill to reduce the salaries
of all elected state officials, in
troduced the first lay of the
legislature by Representatives
Johnson of Chatham, Lumpkin of
Franklin and Flanagan of Pitt.
The bill passed the house the
second day but failed to be rati-
fled by noon, January 5, so that
it never became effective.
The bill by Representative
Newman of New Hanover. to re-
duce the salaries of members of
the general assembly % per cent,
or from SO a day to So a day.
This bill is still in the house sal
airy and fees COMMITTEE with in
dications that it will remain there
indefinitely. Most of the mem
bers want to defer action on it
until it is determined how long
the assembly remains in session.

SHElLA translated herself IN

Bill Brady who had gone to some
length to inform her that they

teach her the steps. nor would he
dream Of doing It for anyone but

more difficult than 1t really was.

But as yet no bills have been in
troduced by it. Hardly any men,
Der of either house believes there
is a chance for either the finance
OF appropriations committees to
report until we'll after February
6.
So after 10 days in talking
about governmental economy,
with many gestures to Indicate
the Importance of such economy,
not a single bill has yet been
passed to bring about the saving
of a single cent in the cost OF
operating the state government.
Some bills undoubtedly will be
passed later, but there is no in
dication of any immediate action
on any.

RALEIGH, Jan. 16. - Every
owner of store buildings in North
Carolina now rented and occu-
pied by Mcclellan stores has re-
ceived a telegram from the Nc
Lellan Stores company of New
York that the company has filed
a petition in bankruptcy, it was
learned here. These kilograms
were received by the lessons Sat
urday.
1t is the general opinion of
most of the lessons that this is
the first step on the part of this
corporation, which operates 70
stores in North Carolina and
some 400 stores in the United
States, to force cancellation of
present leases and rent contracts
in order to get their rents re-
duced. 1t is pointed out that
the United Cigar stores used this
same scheme some time ago in
order to force lessons to cancel
leases and draw up new ones to
conform to terms virtually die
tated by the corporation.
