that bent above the manger

Jewish face. And the kindly,

But those few months have

And why? Because He was the

because He was the Son Of all
His earthly fathers Abra-

Solomon, valiant old Isaiah,

Public Works
PROGRAM Is Next

This program calls for a
frontal attack upon the u11-
employment problem in the
form Of "direct recruiting
by the Government itself. "
Already 25O,OO0 are rapidly
being recruited and as
signed to reforestation work
in widely scattered areas
The next move in this
frontal attack will be the
expansion by the Federal
Government of its public
program and the encourage
ment of State and local gov
ernments to expand their
public works program as
rapidly as these can be H.
nanced.
Thus far the Administra-
tion has been a house dl-
vided upon the question OF
increasing the construction
of public works in order to
reduce unemployment.
But the determination OF
the President that our job
less fellow citizens shall be
put to work is apparently
getting a support in both
houses of Congress- that the
petty objections of budget
statisticians can not prevent.
And the example OF
Canada, our good neighbor
on the North, in coordinat-
ing the strengthening Of
her national defense and
the construction of other
public works with the re-
lief of unemployment proves
the practicability Of the
Roosevelt program, pro-
vided Congress carries it
out on an adequate scale.

Admiral Cone
Makes Position Clear

But American sailors and
shipworkers up and down
our coasts have good rea-
son to be concerned that the
right Of the United States to
rebuild and maintain an in
dependent merchant ma
rine should be listed on the
agenda of the coming Lon
don Conference as a de-
batable question.
President Roosevelt's new
chairman of the Shipping
Board, Adm. Hutch I. Cone,
put the case for Government
aid in the upbuilding Of our
merchant marine concisely
and convincingly to the
Twentieth National Foreign
Trade Convention at Pitts
burgh the other day when
he said:
"The foreigners cheaper
ships and lower operating
costs impose on the Amer
lean shipowner who engages
in foreign trade q competi-
tive handicap that would
absolutely prohibit our citi-
zens from risking their capt.
tai in ventures Of this sort,
were it not for the fact that
Congress has wisely pro-
vided certain aids designed
to lower the building and
operating differentials and
thus to make American
competition possible. With
out these aids our ships
would either be driven from
the seas, or returned to the
Government for operation
at a cost to the taxpayer
far in excess of the present
subventions."
Perhaps Congress will send
for this American expert on
the Merchant marine before
giving to any Budget Di-
rector supreme power to,
stop our Governments as
sistance to our merchant
marine.
And the Senate should
welcome the opportunity, if
it comes, to confirm the
nomination as one of our
delegates to the London Con-
ference of an authority as
competent and ready to de-
fend the American side Of
this case as President Roose-
velt's new chairman Of tho
Shipping Board has proved
himself to be.

the local school board, second by
the local governing BODY (either
city or county commissioners
and last by the state board of
equalization.
The CITY and county superin-
tendents have wanted a bill of
this sort ali along and President
Clyde Erwin of the North Caro-
lima Education association has
been advocating this type of bill
for months, except that none OF
the school people want the board
of equalization left in the pic
ture at all. The reason the su-
perintendents and school polltl-
clans dislike this board so is that
it has consistently refused to per-
nit counties and districts to levy
as large property taxes for
schools as the superintendent
and school people have wanted.
That is how the board of equaG-
cation reduced school costs from
more than $28,500,000 in 1928
20 to S23,5OO,OO0 in 1912. 1t
is also the reason why the pres
ent general assembly is inclined
to give this board still broader
powers in regulating the opera
ton of the schools.
There are other features in the
bill also which will not meet with
the approval of the school forces,
however. One of these is the
provision which calls for the con-
solidation of supervision in coun-
ties Or districts having less than
5000 pupils enrolled. This would
elimina' most of the city super
intendents in the smaller cities
and towns and eliminate the
county superintendents in some
of the smaller counties. 1t IS
estimated that this would reduce
the total number of city and
county superintendent from 1872
to 80 or less.
Another feature that will not
prove popular with the school
forces is that which increases the
teaching load per teacher from
33 to So in the elementary
grades and from 81 to 33 in the
high school grades.

EQUALIZATION
BOARD WOULD
BE RETAINED
Aycock School Bill Would
Cut Teacher Pay Only
Five Per Cent
By J. c. BASKERVILL
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH. Feb. 14.-The first
eight months school term bill
CARRYING any actual machinery
for its administration, which in
troduced in the house Saturday
by Representative Charles Brant-
lev Aycock of Wake, son of the
late Governor Aycock, education
al pioneer in North Carolina, IS
now before the house education
committee. 1t builds an eight
months school term upon the
present administrative machinery
and retains the state board of
equalization as the principal ad-
ministrative agency.
The salaries of the teachers
would be reduced only five per
cent below the present level by
this bill, or only Is per cent be
low the 1881 level. instead of 10
per cent below the present level
and 25 per cent below the 1881
level, as is proposed by the bud
get commission and already APP
proved by the house apprOpria-
tons committee. But by means
of the other economies contained
in the bill. Representative Ay-
cock believes that II will reduce
the present cost of the six
months and extended terms at
least % per cent, or from $22,-
100000 a year to not more than
$1S,OOO,00O a year.
"The bill is both an economy
and an educational measure, and
will bring more tax relief to
property than any other measure
that can be passed by this legis-
lature," Representative Aycock
said. Neither does the bill seri-
ouusly impair the efficiency of
the schools, although it reduces
school expenditures more than 25
per cent below the present cost
of the six months and extended
term schools.
"The more drastic cuts are
made in the field of administra-
ton and supervision, with the
smallest cuts in the salaries OF
the class room teachers. 1t guar
antees to the 100000 school chill
dren of the state a continued OPP
portunity to receive an education
eight months in the year and
guarantees to the property own
ers a material reduction in taxa
ton. 1t also assures the public
of an economical operation of the
public schools, and preserves to
the people the right 10 control
their local institutions. / believe
the bill meets the needs of pres
ent conditions"
While the bill IS not expected
to meet the approval of the
North Carolina Education asso-
citation, since no bill that provides
for the continuance of the state
board of equalization would have
its complete approval. many of
the features in the bill are SINH
lar to those advocated by the as
ISOLATION. One of these features
is that counties and local tax dis
tricts would still be permitted to
levy local taxes to supplement
the funds received from the
state, provided these additional
tax levies are approved first by

producers cannot feel the

 MIAMI'S MEET
Four New Swimming Rec Ords Made-MinnesOta
 Miss Also Impressive

Miami, Dec 29-(UP)-With four new American records trailing in their wake, leading swimmers today sought to smash few more marks as the second annual Miami Biltmore Olympic Stars Aquatic meet moved into its second day of competition.
 Lenore Right, Homestead, Pa, free style artist, led the parade yes- terday with new American long course marks in the 300 meter and 300 yard free style events. Anne Govednick, Chisholm, Minn, set a new long course American mark in the 100 yard breast stroke while Alice Bridges, Whitinsville, Mass, lowered the national record for 200 yards backstroke.
 Miss Right today will assault her new 300 yard mark while Miss Bridges will attempt to smash the 50-yard backstroke record. Other attempts: Miss Govednik, 200 yards breaststroke; Leonard Spence, 500 meters breaststroke; Katherine Raw1s, 300-yards medley and Ralph Flanagan, 500-meters freestyle.
 The mark which Flanagan will go after was equaled by him yes- terday-Buster Crabbe's 6:40.4 mark hung up in 1883.

Heavy workouts were over for light drills. Rival coaches Tiny Thornhill and Lou Little began polishing off offensive and defen- sive bearings. Tomorrow the training grind will be completed and Columbia's 30 players will be bundled aboard train at Tucson, Ariz, and brought here for 8 one- day rest.
 The situation to-day found the Stanford team an overwhelming favorite. Odds held at 2 1-2 to 1 or 12 points at even money. Betting commissioners said there was little response.
 Fans No like
 Their report reflected what was generally believed-a lack of popu. lar interest. Although officials dis played a reluctance to discuss the matter, it was believed that the two teams will battle before the smallest rose tournament crowd in years. An attendance of 50,000 was regarded a maximum estimate.
 Stanford cohorts received scare last night when Bobby Grayson, spectacular sophmore halfback, was ordered to bed with bad cold. Reports circrlated there was strong likelihood he would not be in uniform Monday. But the re- ports were secuted, barring com plications.
 On and On
 As Grayson went on the sick list, Monk Moscrip, star end, and Yves Muller, center, returned to service. Both had ben out with colds. They were to take part in to-day exer- cises.
 Conversely, the Columbia squad was in tip-top condition, physically and mentally. Coach Little has made no secret of his satisfaction and partisans who accompanied the team west shared his enthu- siasm.
