House Expected
To Concur in Bill
On Road Patrol
The Times-News Bureau
O. NY

Sr w alter f1Otel
RALEIGH, March 9.-After 60
ing through the usual round of
delay that has become pre-requi-
site to the passage of reorgan-
ization committee bill, the senate
has finally given its stamp of ap-
prevail to the measure transferring
the highway patrol from the high
way department to the department
of revenue, and it now goes to the
house, where it is expected to be
passed.
The bill was introduced by Sem
ators Ingram, Green. Cross and
others. but carried out one of the
recommendations of Senator Lar
ry Moore's reorganization commit
tee, which reported the. measure
favorably. By transferring the pa
troll to the revenue department
and placing additional duties upon
it, the reorganization committee
estimates that the bill will effect
an economy of more than $50, 900
a year.
The highway patrol, under the
bill, is required to perform the
duties of the motor vehicle inspec-
tors. There are now 16 inspectors
in the motor vehicle division, and
the bill proposes to cut this num-
Der to six. This, it is estimated,
will save something like 100000 a
year. The duties of the gas and
oil inspection division of the de-
partment of agriculture are also
transferred to the highway patrol,
thus bringing about a similar saw
ing.
Principal objection to this meas
ure thus far has been to that part
of the bill which takes the gas and
oil inspection division away from
the department of agriculture.
Friends of the department tried to
amend the bill in the senate so
that it would leave this division
with the agriculture department,
but the amendment was voted
down, despite the contention of It's
sponsors that the patrol could not
carry on the additional duties I'M
posed on it by the bill.

ALLEN HOLDS
SCHOOL BOOK
SYSTEM CHEAP
Less Expensive Than One
Proposed Committee
Told at Hearing
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, March 9.-Some
inkling of the line of attack that
will be launched by the school
people and textbook publishers
against the house committee SUBJ
stitute bill setting up a new
school textbook selection and dis
tribution system in the state,
was revealed in the hearing
granted opponents of the bill
Tuesday afternoon by the house
education committee. The prin-
cipal opponent Of the bill is, of
course, the Alfred Williams COM
pany of Raleigh, which is the
North Carolina school book de-
pository. 1t is estimated that
this company collects about $780,
600 year through handling
state textbooks, even though a
large part Of the textbooks used
in North Carolina schools are
not shipped through Raleigh.
Superintendent of Public In
struction A. T. Allen, while care
| full not to advise the committee
definitely what it should do
about the proposed new set-up,
let it be known that he believes
the present system of book dis
trbiution in North Carolina is
much more economical than the
set-up contemplated in the COM
lmittee'S hill and backed I'D the
representatives of the Alfred
Williams company in about
everything they said against the
bill. Superintendent Allen. while
stating that he was open to sug-
gestion on any plan that would
provide cheaper schoolbooks for
the children of North Carolina,
told the committee that he did
not believe the committees bill
was as good a plan as that now
in operation in the state.
The committees bill provides
that the new textbook commits
sion. to be appointed by the
governor, shall select a multiple
list of 10 school books and re-
ouire comparative bidding on
them. whereas the present law
provides that two commissions,
one for elementary textbooks and
the other for high school text
books, shall select a list Of only
three books. Sponsors of the
committee bill claim that by per-
hitting 10 companies instead of
only three, will result in saw
ing of 100000 or more year
to the school children or North
Carolina. A similar plan has
been in operation in Virginia
and has resulted in a saving
even larger than this.

Farley Talks on
Patronage Idea

WASHINGTON, Mar. 9-(UP)
Postmaster General James A. Far
ley, who managed Franklin D.
Roosevelt's successful campaign
for the presidency, spoke for the
first time yesterday on the method
he plans to use in distributing pat
ronage to deserving Democrats.
Farley must decide who is going
to be nominated for each one of
the $4,000 postmasterships now
available throughout the country.
He told newspaper men at his
first press conference yesterday
he would "meet conditions as they
exist in the different states"
The question of patronage in
New York will be left to the Demo
cratic state committee. 1t is under
stood, however, senators and con-
gressmen will be given opportuni-
ties to suggest candidates they
think should be awarded jobs for
aiding the Democratic party to put
a president in Washington.
Farley said no postmaster nomi-
nations would be sent to congress
when it meets in special session
today.
The new postmaster general
spoke warmly of John J. Kelly,
who has been a $4,000 a year
postmaster in New York city for
more than 40 years. Farley could
remove Kelly but said he thought
the veteran employee fought to be
given a break"
Kelly has only two more years
to serve before he will reach the
statutory age for retirement.

Tut-Ankh-Amen Shrines
Placed i'm Carlo Museum

The four magnificent gilt
shrines which inclose the sarco-
phagus of Tut-Ankh-Amen's tomb
have been placed in the Antiquities
museum here in Carlo.
The innermost shrine has al
ready been re-erected and is on
view. 1t is constructed Of solid
wood covered with Jesse overlaid
with gold leaf, with sacred figures
in gold. The outside has been re-
stored to its original brilliance,
but it appears that Tut's artificer
cheated his royal master by using
an inferior quality of gold inside,
which has now oxidized and lost
color. The shrine is 9 feet, 6 inches
long and 5 feet high.
Another recent addition to the
Antiquities muesum is a unique
caricature of the heretical King
Akhenaten. The caricature, show
ing the king with beard and whis-
kers, was found at Tellel-Amara,
suggesting that the king possibly
became mentally deficient and was
