BYRNS ASSURED
 OF SPEAKERSHIP

Washington, Dec 13.-(UP)- Withdrawal of two of his chief rivals today virtually assured Rep Joseph w. Byrns, d., Tenn. the speakership of the 74th congress.
 The lanky Tennessean's candi- Gacy gained momentum as addi- fionaI state groups added their support. West Virginia's six dem- ocratic representative joined Pennsylvania's 23 in announcing for Byrns.
 Rep Sam Rayburn, d.. Tex, con- sidered Byrns principal rival for the office made vacant by the death of Rep Henry T. Rainey, d.. III, withdrew a few minutes after the West Virginia vote was announced
 Rayburn's decision was an- nounced in a terse three sentence statement:
 "I am no longer candidate for speaker. There are no alibis. Un- der the circumstances I cannot be elected"
 Rayburn's withdrawal was pre- ceded by that of Rep John E. Ran kin. d., Miss, who announced he would seek the post of floor leader
 Rep William Bankhead, d., Ala probably the most prominent can didate opposing Byrns, was expect ed to withdraw He indicated he may have a statement soon. pos sibly today.
 The bandwagon movement be- hind Byrns reached such propor' tions that interest switched to se' lection of a house leader to sue ceed Byrns, in the event he i' elected speaker. Selection of . northern or eastern man appeared probable.
 The newest candidate for tht leadership was Rep John McCor' mick, d., Mass. chairman of tho Nazi Investigating committee ant member of the house ways ant means committee. He has been 1T congress seven years.

Lalus To Take Profits
 Out Of War Prepared
Have Been Waiting Sponsor Drafted in Last Days of Hoover Regime-PrO Export of War Materials

to be headed by an administrators to execute these laws, and to pro- hibit export of arms, machinery, or basic commodities which the government might consider nec- essary for prosecution of the war These commodities ranged from corundum, emery and nitric acid, guttapercha and wool.
 President oRosevelt's action i'll moving suddenly to take up the long dormant wah profits question surprised many, both in executive anr legislative branches of the gov ernment.
 His action was sharply criticized by members of the senate munl- tions committee. It was praised by the war and navy departments as a timely move to carry out the long dreamed of war plan for ln- dustrial mobilization.
 The president made it plain that one major objective was to limit profits during wartime, and t0 obtain a more equitable spread or the burdens of war over all classes
 The people, he said, were quite familiar with the huge and unIalr profits made by munitions and oth- CT firms furnishing supplies.
 Some believed the presidents action was designed to show for eign governments, particularly Ja- pan. that the United States was putting all the possible brakes on encouragement of war by making it economically unattractiVe 70 business and industry. But, also, II was believed, he indicated that the United states would place it's re sources and industries on a foot. ing of preparedness in event o1 war threates.
 Members of the munitions com mittee were less kindly in their views of the presidential action Chairman Gerald P. Nye, r., N. D., said the presidents action was un- fortunate" and "amazing." Sen Arthur H. Vandenberg. T., Mlcn., warned that congress will 'write it's own ticket"
 He said "it is amazing 10 me that efforts should now be mace to check and halt the work or our committee which is under instrue- lions ot the senate first to ascer- tain the facts and then to report for legislatlon' .

gagees in the interest of the home
owners because the second appraisal
revealed insufficient value to warrant
loans. 1t has been found necessary
to reject 223O applications for loans,
10 percent of the total received, be-
cause they were not within the law,
insufficient value was revealed and
for other reasons.
"All appraisal work has been COM
pleted and the applications sent to the
legal department for final legal ex-
aminations before disbursements cam
be made in 1886 cases which is 81
percent of the total applications re-
ceived These applications with the
exception of those already closed and
paid out, are in the hands of the
county attorneys throughout the state
or in the process of legal examina-
tions in the headquarters office. liz
several hundred cases, defect in title
or liens not reported by the applicanH
have been discovered and these are
being held up while the headquarters
office legal staff endeavors u get the
titles cleared or liens removtN1 that
loans can be made.
Loans have been closed amoN paid
out to the amount of 4,175, 5,08O.6c III
exchange for 1919 mortgages which is
approximately ii percent of the total
number of applications received.
Every application which has been
received at the various offices has
been given attention. 1t the applica-
they have been started through the
various apprisals which the law re-
quires and when the appraisal WORK
has been completed the legal WORK
has been ordered. In those cases
where it has been necessary to rt~
ject the applications the applicants
have been notified.
"On December Is there were on
hand more than 1000 applications
which had been temporarily rejected
because the mortgages would not aC-
cept bonds. Since that date 1000 or
these cases have been reopened, the
mortgages contracted. acceptances OF
bonds secured and the applications
started through the office in their re-
gular order.
"An important phase of the work
of the corporation has been the halt
ing of foreclosures in cooperation
with nlortgagees. Such. proceedings
have been halted in more than one
thousand cases the amount involved
tieing approximately $2.5O0,O00.00 and
in large number of these cases
loans have already been made. An
other phase of the work has been that
of securing compromises in the prin-
cipal sums due mortgages so that
loans could be made. More than $780,
900 has been saved home owners in
this manner"

A FRESH IMPRESSION

Meanwhile comes a book from Har-
per and Brothers called "Nitchey Til
ley," and the worst thing about this
book is it's rather repulsive title. For
it is a very fortnight, very lyrical
and moving book about boy raised
by a mountain hermit and plopped
suddenly into Manhattan. His reac-
tions to the town were what caught
my eyes; no columnist could possibly
have had such genuine reactions.
May l quote few of them?

know that I was there. And that |
could tell it by its roar. Aud there

"One smells of green water and one
of blue. And their wharves have a

not the same, streets not the same,
nor the outlook of faces, nor the
sound of my heels on the pavements,
even, the same in different places
None of the elevateds have the same
roar. They are like forests and their
trunks are different and their shad-
ows.

by the vote of about four to one.
The news has not been officially
verified here, but, good Republicans
vouch for it's truth. They say Mr.
Duncan's heavy claims are not justl-
fled in those western counties. Fol
that matter they do not believe there
is such a preponderance in the east.
If it turns out to be east against the
west and the west has been in the
habit in the past of casting the vote
Which is one of the factors in this
party war. The east has had the
craftsmanship much of the time, ii
not the craftsmanship so often, the ma
tional committeemanship. The west
is i'm either the Duncan OF the Meek
ms election represented by an east
erner born. But Greensboro is jus'
mildly west. Mr.. Duncan came from
Carteret and William Meekns from
PasquOtank.
The sectional argument, however
does not pan. In the good old days
the east had the national committee
manship and the west the State chair
manShip. Now the west has the n;.-
tiOnal cOmmitteemanship and there
will be a westerner transplanted from
the east, who will be State chairman.
The controversy, however, is over the
party's growth. The Meekins men

Total Loans by Salisbury
Office to Date In State
$4,175,O8O

Salisbury, March 21.-Establishing
for the second week a new high rec
ord in the number of loans closed and
cash and bonds paid out to take up
mortgages, the Home Owners Loan
Corporation during the week which
ended March 16 closed and made dis
bursements to take up ITO mortgages
on homes, the amount involved be-
ing 1894, ,O66.98, it was reported today
by Alan S. O'Neal, State manager,
with headquarters here. Disburse-
ments for the week reported upon
carried the total thus far paid out to
$4,175,060,67 and the number of mort
cages which have been taken over by
the corporation to 1919.
In his weekly report Mr.. ONeal
stated that 113 loans for $269, $50. sc
were approved and sent to the legal
department for final examination of
title. These commitments brought the
total number of loans approved and
sent to the legal department for fl
nal action to 1886 involving a total of
$3.50, ,549.55. With the exception of the
loans already closed and paid out,
Mr.. O'Neal said, these commitments Is
are now in the hands of the legal de-
partment and of attorneys through,
out the State and as quickly as the
titles are examined they will be cols,
ed and the fortgages taken over.
Summarizing the work of the cor
pOration in North Carolina since II
was organized last summer Mr..
O'Neal made the following statement
1--WE have received 11,7O7 applicants
OF these 658 or approximately per-
cent are held i'm the office because
they were not completed properly by
the applicants and these appliactns
have been written for the informa-
tiOnwhichis required by the Govern
ment before any work is started Ap-
proximately 1900 applications or 1C
percent are being held while negotia-
tions are conducted with mortgages
with the end of getting them to ex
change their liens for bonds. A tota
of 842 applications or percent of the
number received are now ready fol
the preliminary apprisals to be made
preliminary appraisal work has
been orderd on 1912 applications
which is 70 percent of the total re
ceived. Preliminary appraisals have
been completed on 1894 applications
which is 81 percent of the total mum
Der of applications received. OF the
applications on which preliminary ap
praisal has been completed 1857 or ap
proximately II percent are now in the
process of adjustment, meaning that
the appraisal revealed insufficient
value to make the loan required and
the corporation is now seeking com
promises from the mortgages or
these in an effort to serve the home
owners.
The second appraisal required by
law has been ordered for 5503 appli
cations or AZ percent of the grand
total. The second appraisal has beer

pay more. Mr.. Bowie would cut the
term but pay the teachers as much
for a, long one as short one, Mr..
Johnson does not say when the good
news will be available, but he does
think the teachers should get more.
However, all the officials who have
anything to do with money seem to
feel that there isn't a chance to get
any more salaries. The teachers have
no prospect OF receiving more from
the school fund, the workers in the
State departments are not yet far
enough into the first year of the 1888
1895 biennium to know what the end
will be. But the universal agreement
that salaries of teachers and clerks
are very low makes a raise in 1895
