CONSERVATION
.ENLIS MEN 7 S
CLOSE TODAY
Quota for State Reached
Two Days Before Time
Limit Reached
The Timps-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, June enlist
mcnts from North Carolina in the
civilian conservation corps closed
today with the states quota of
$3.50 completely filled, according
to an announcement this morning
by Ronald B. Wilson, acting dl-
rector of governors office of re-
lief. The quota was filled almost
as hours before the time limit set
by the government was reached,
which was midnight. June 7.
The full quota of men for the
civilian conservation corps from
this state is $500, but the Quota
to be enlisted in the various
counties was reduced to $3.50 so
that $50 experienced woodsmen
from the localities in which the
forest camps are to be located
can be enlisted directly into the
camps to assist the foresters in
charge, Wilson explained. AS a
result, from so to 100 men will
be added to each camp from the
immediate localities in which the
various camps are located.
Present plans call for 20 camps
located in North Carolina. to be
made up entirely from the $3.50
men that have already been en-
listed and the $50 experienced
woodsmen to be enlisted by the
foresters in charge. This will
make it unnecessary to send any
Of these men outside the safe
and will keep all the money spent
on these camps and to the men
here in the state. The cost of
maintaining these men in the
camps, including the 81 day in
wages they will receive. is ap-
proximately So a day. Thus the
daily payroll and expense outlay
will amount to $4,000 a day for
the $500 men, or $585,000 a
month, all spent right here in
North Carolina. The total outlay
in the state for the six months
the camps will be maintained will
thus amount to $3,510,000, of
which more than $1,000,O0O will
go to the families of the men in
these camps, all of whom have
been unemployed. The other ST.
100000 will be spent for supplies
and supervision in the vicinities
in which the camps will be 10

! amendment. 1t is generally agreed
that perhaps 80 states are almost
certain to vote for repeal because
they have opposed prohibition in
previous votes. The real fight,
therefore. is conferred in the
doubtful" states, those which
may go either way. Indiana is
the first of these to hold its re-
peal election.
Propaganda issued by both
sides indicated last night that the
whole prohibition repeal question
had become, in their minds. a
game of follow the leader. Both
sides contended that the vote in
Indiana depended largely upon
how large the vote for repeal was
in Illinois. Then. on top of this,
they contended that the vote in
several other doubtful" states
which will hold their elections
later, might depend largely upon
the vote in Indiana.
F. Scott Mcbride and Bishop
James Cannon, Jr., two of the
foremost national anti-repealist
leaders, considered the Indiana
vote so important they personally
entered into the campaign.
"Jobs, not jags," was the bat
tlecry of Cannon. s'9-

WASHINGTON, June 6. (UP).
The Roosevelt administration eau
tiously retreated yesterday as the
flames of rebellion burned higher
in congress and threatened to
send the White House economy
program up in smoke.
A test of strength against re-
bellious congressman was post
poned until late this week when
house leaders decided to delay
consideration of senate amend
ments to the Independent offices
appropriation bill, involving the
controversial veterans compensa-
ton funds.
Meanwhile, the administration
won victory late yesterday
when the licensing provision-re-
moved from the industrial recov-
cry bill Friday night-was reStor'
ed by the senate finance commit
tee. That section makes it posi-
BILE for the federal government to
force reluctant industries to ac-
cept maximum working hours,
minimum wages and trade agree
ments.
Chairman Harrison. of the sem
ate finance committee, brought n
personal plea from the president
for restoration Of the provision
and after considerable debate tho
committee reversed its action OF
last Friday.
Harrison made a favorable re-
port on the bill and the senate
agreed to begin consideration OF
it Wednesday.
The status of the veterans
compensation stands this way as
congress was ready to reconvene
today:
President Roosevelt had hoped
to save S400,000,000 by reducing
compensation. He received tho
power to make such reduction
under the economy bill-one of
the first pieces of legislation
passed by the special session Of
congress.
The independent offices appro-
priation bill carried about $780,
100000 for veterans when it
passed the house. That sum, MI.

Repeal of Prohibition Amendment
Facing First Severe Test Today
Indianas Record Among Dryest of Dry States But
Many Votes Will Follow Illinois Trend

INDIANAPOLIS. June 6. (UP)
The proposal to wipe prohibition
from the federal constitution
faces its first severe test today
when citizens of Indiana vote on
whether to ratify the 21st amend
ment to the constitution.
Doubtful citizens in Indiana
watched with interest yesterday
the vote in Illinois. Many admit
teddy awaited final election re-
turns from the state before de-
Gliding definitely whether they
would favor repeal or vote
against it.
Until recently, when the state
legislature legalized beer sales in
this state, Indiana ranked with
Kansas as among the "driest"
states in the union. The state
prohibition law, now repealed,
was so severe it provided that po-
lice could arrest anyone on whose
breath they could smell liquor.
The nine states which have
voted ahead of Indiana on the
proposed national repeal admit
tedly were repealist states.
The 21st amendment requires
approval of SO of the 48 states
to become law and Offset the 18th

Business Is Improving SO
Much Group Will Renew
Industrial Efforts
By J. c. Baskerville
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, June 6.-The North
Carolina Plan is still very much
alive, as is North Carolina. Inc,
the corporation formed more
than a year ago to put the plan
in operation, according to Tyre
G. Taylor, president of the cor
poration and instigator of the
movement to renew the interest
of North Carolinians in North
Carolina and to attract additional
people and industries to the state.
During the past year, because of
business conditions, it was thought
best not to try to 60 ahead with
the plan. but to await definite
upturn in the economic index.
This upturn has now definitely
started. AS a result, it has been
decided to get the North Caro-
lima Plan started with several of
it's primary projects definitely
launched early this fall, Taylor
said today.
In fact. good many members
of the board of directors of
North Carolina, Inc, have be-
lieved for several weeks that the
time was at hand to get the cor
poration functioning again and
urged President Taylor to call a
meeting of the board right now.
AS a result, meeting was called
for Thursday of this week here in
Raleigh. But it was later found
that many of the board members
were out of the state or could not
attend. Others felt it would be q
wiser course to delay the meet
ing until after the adjournment
of congress and especially until
after congress had disposed of the
industrial control bill, now before
it. This bill may have a wide

MORGAN INVESTIGATORS TO /
ASK BROADER POWERS FOR f.
LINKING UP OF EVIDENCE
Committee to Decide on
Presentation of New
Evidence Today

WASHINGTON, June 6. (UP9
The senate banking and currency
committee decided today to seek
broader powers so its investiga-
ton of J. p. Morgan e. Company
may include evidence connecting
sales securities with the payment
of income taxes.
A sharp controversy over pub
LEGATION of income tax records Of
three J. p. Morgan & Company
partners in the senate banking
committee temporarily held up
yesterday a phase of the inquiry
which holds sensational implica-
tiOnS.
The committee, failing to reach
decision in a two-hour session,
will decide TODAY in another Sc
cret session whether the evidence
dug up by Ferdinand Pecora,
committee counsel will be pre-
scented in open session. either by
testimony or by a stipulation or
only to the committee.
Committee members said yes
terday it involves year-end stock
sales, including a sale of stock by
Thoas S. Lamont, youthful Nor
gan partner, to his wife in De-
cember 1880. Other Morgan part
ners whose income tax records
have been investigated are Har-
old Stanley and William Ewing.

to bring out the facts at yester-
days public hearing, turned in
stead to spread on the committee
record the success story of two
former Cleveland real estate OPP
orators. o. ?. and Mantis J. Van
Sweringen, who have erected a
railroad empire that stretches
from the Atlantic to the oil fields
Of the Southwest.
With virtually no help from
o. P. Van Sweringen. whose rec
objection did not improve during
several hours of quizzing. Pecora
disclosed how the two had &C.
CURED wide railroad holdings, be
ginning with the Nickel Plate,
with a negligible capital outlay.
Their skill at finance finally led
them to the door of the House Of
Morgan. and the association which
began in 1928 was eliminated
finally in 1929 in the giant AL
leghany Corporation which was
engineered by J. p. Morgan to
carry the railroad properties Of
the two brothers.
Pecora was able, because Of
Van Sweringen's lapse of men,
Dry, to sketch only the begin
nings. Pecora's consistent query
was:
"How did you operate on SO
little cash ?"
He gave up after digging out
the details of two ventures. the
original purchase of the Nickel
Plate and the subsequent acquisi-
ton of the Chesapeake & Ohio,
rebuked the railroad magnate for
failing to bring the necessary
documents, told him to try to

to turn over their books to COM

Local Board Calls Atten-
ton to Results Of Survey
of Economies

The serious effects Of enforced
municipal economy as resulting
in cuts in the book budgets made
in leading American cities Is dis
cusscd in an article in a recent
issue of the Christian Science
Monitor, Boston, based on a sur
vey of these conditions In the
country, and to which attention
was called here today, by mem
hers of the city library board.
The survey shows that the book
budget cuts in some of the larger
cities in the United States ranges
from 40 per cent to 100 per cent,
while. including some of the
smaller cities. this average reduc-
ton in appropriations Is held to
approximately % per cent.
While it is admitted that pub
lie libraries should bear their
share in curtailment to meet ma
tionwide financial conditions 1t
is still maintained that far-sight-
ed Judgment is necessary to de-
termine just what that share shall
be.
The public library is an educa,,
tional institution, and its social
Importance, it is maintained, can
not be overestimated. But more
than this. it is felt by the local
library board that the public Ii
brary here is, and should be con-
tinucd as a distinctive asset for
tourists.
As regards the educational ma
ture of the library, it is pointed
out that informative literature
on the nature of the present
world crisis is essential to an UNI
Outstanding of conditions, other
wise beyond comprehension, and
thus to future good citizenship.

Luxury
Someone knocked at the door.
It was Annie Ellis with the an
nouncement that the young
lady'S rooms were ready.
Patricia bade Haverholt good
night, rose and followed the
servant up the stairs. Her
rooms, her own rooms-what a
luxury to a girl who had once
thought a hall bedroom with a
bed to herself the ultimate in
perfection! Annie Ellis snapped
on the lights and Patricia
hesitated at the threshold, silent
with delight.
The suite, a complete apart
ment, consisted of a pale-blue
bedroom, a blue-and-gold sit
ting-room, a tiny dressing-room
that was all mirrors, and, last
of all, the bath, a tiled room
with golden fittings and a tub
that sank deep into the floor.
Patricia's fascination with the
tub was shared by the house
keeper, who showed her how to
use the various taps, and who
