 Equipped With Double Hull
 A double hull extends 40 feet up the side of the ship. There are l6O air-tight compartments between the outer hull and the inhabited hull.
 The huge power plant of the Queen Mary is built for speed and smooth operation, designed to elim- mate vibration. Four geared tur- pines will drive the four propellors. Already some of the oil furnaces have been fired for the long and tedious breaking-in of the gigantic engines.

$3O,OOO PAYROLL
 BROUGHT TO CITY

A payroll estimated to total close to $30,000 was brought to the city today as several hundred WPA workers received their wages for two weeks work. Headquarters for the payroll department have been established in the garage in the rear of City Hall on Field street and the men received their pay upon application during the morn- ing. White collar workers, mainly those employed on the city trafic survey, received their checks at the office in the Chamber of Commerce building.

when the Sssueeu MdCy puts OuI to sea next spring it will bid for the glory which the French Lines Normandie took last spring. It is n feet shorter than the Norman die and its 73,O00 gross tonnage is slightly less than that of its French rival.
 The Queen Mary will carry the flag of the White Star line, re- placing the Majestic, largest ship afloat until the Normandie was launched.
 Launched in 1884
 Since September, 1884, the fin- ishers have been working on the Queen Mary. It slipped down the ways with the blessings of King George and Queen Mary.
 The 40000-ton hull has been fill- ed with luxury in the more than . year it has lain in the fitting harbor of the River Clyde. Fifty varieties of wood from over the world decorate the principal suites and public rooms. Beautiful mo- safes adorn the walls.
 Painting the great hulk's 50 acres of surface will require 10000 gale Ions of paint. When completed 1t will have 8 black hull, white up- per deck, and tunnels of red with black tops and three black bands.
 The size of the ship is stagger- ing. It is 1918 feet long, S4 feet longer than the Lincoln memorial and the Capitol at Washington laid end to end. Any of the vehicular or railroad tunnels that carry New York's trafic unler the Hudson River could be placed in any of the three huge funels of the Queen Mary. One of the promenade decks

and said he was seeking some way of "harmonizing" it with the flota- tion of general loans.
 Wilson acquiesced. The great British and French war loans were fioated - mostly by Morgan and Company. Neutrality evapo- rated. Former Premier Andre Tar dieu of France commented that '.from that time on, whether de- sired or not, victory for Che Allies became essential to the United States"
 By March, 1917, Ambassador Page at London was cabling that govern ment loans must back up the pri- vate loans to avert panic, that if we declared war on Germany the best thing we could do for the Allies would be to open up the treasury to them. And along came the war.

launched in 61A seconds, nearly two seconds better than the Nor mandie's time.
 The ship is a floating city. There is a drugstore, fire department, many salons and bars, and a tele- phone exchange that will make con- nections with any section of the civilized world There is radio transmitting station with four large transmitters, capable of maintain taining continuous communication with both sides of the Atlantic throughout the voyage, operating on 32 wavelengths and using nine separate aerial systems.
 The Queen Mary, most majestic and regal of Great Britain's years of maritime production, is more than just another ship to proud Britons-it is their hope to wrest from France the ribbons and tro- phies of glory for the finest and fastest ship afloat.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER Democrat Washington Corre-
 emOndent

Washington, Dec. 13 - Memories of great men participating in great events are not to be trusted.
 That's at least one lesson emerg- ing from recent discussion and de- bate as to how we got into that World War and whether the chief reason was to save democracy or the bankers or to serve the British or the munitions makers.
 Certainly one of the most inn- portant documents of the war
 bearing on that point was let- ter from Secretary of State Rob-
 ert Lansing to President Wood- row wilson, urging reversal of the previous neutrality policy stated by Secretary Bryan which
 barred Notation of war loans for the Allies or Germany in this country.
 Lansing said he and Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo agreed that if Americans didn't lend money to "belligerents," European nations (which meant only the Allies) could- mt buy our goods, which would mean depression over here. That was in September, 1915.
 Loans Open Way to War
 Bryan had put the administration on record formally as holding such loans to be inconsistent with the true spirit of neutrality"
 Lansing pointed out that this had become "a source of embarrassment"

Letter Flnally Lug Up
 But nowhere in the memoirs or biographies of wartime statesmen do you find that Lansing letter.
 Lansing's recent authorized bi- ography ornits it. McAdoo's "Crowd- ed Years" hasn't got 1t. Colonel Houses's Intimate Papers" fail to include it. Ray Stannard Bakers most recent volume of Wilson's pa- pers only mentions it in 8 chapter added as a result of senate muni- tioris committee disclosures.

Some Light on Light Bills


 Although the general public was unaware of it, a highly conservative engineering society allowed itself to be scandalized recently when Direc- tor Morris L. Cooke of Rural Elec- triflcation Administration spoke to 1t on Power Distribution Costs"
 No such controversial subject had ever been allowed on the agenda before and many at the convention grew rather hot about it, especially since public utilities and their en- gineers have long insisted that dis- tributions costs of electricity were "too involved, complicated, and dif- flcult" for entertainment.
 Cooke implied this attitude had been maintained in order to pre- serve exorbitant rates by "hocus- pocus" accounting procedure.

with Governor Ehringhaus, according
to the news report
Ever since it was announced in
Washington that new division to
be known as the Works Progress Ad-
ministration, had been set up to take
charge of all work relief, and which
would draw 80 per cent. of it's work.
ers from present relief rolls, a good
many started to wondering if that
was not the first step in the liuuida
tion of the present Emergency Re-
lief Administrations in the various
states and to remove the work relief
from any semblance of local state
control For in most of the states. the
state ERA administrators were ap-
pointed by the governors before the
Federal government went into the re-
lief business in big way. and these
il turn were retained as relief ad-
mlnistrators by the national Emer-
gency Relief Administration when it
was set up later on. Here in North
Carolina, for iHSterce. Mrs Thomas
O'Berry was appointed as State re-
lief director by Governor Ehringhaus
before the Federal ERA was set I'D.
Then, when it came into being, Mrs.
O'Berry was retained as State ERA
admir- istrator.
This fact was not particularly
pleasing to some of the congressman
nor to either of the States senators
who had hoped to use the ERA and
later on the CWA as a means of TAX
ing care of some of their patronage
probe ms. But since Mrs. O'Berry was
not one of their appointees and was
responsible only to the governor and
Relief Administrator Hopkins. they
made very little headway in trying to
secure jobs for their friends in the
ERA organization. It is generally
known here that strong pressure has
been brought to bear more than once
in Washington to secure the removal
of Mrs. O'Berry as State ERA ad-
ministrator by those who have be-
come peeved at her and Governor En-
ringhaus because she would not Weld
to political pressure and give jobs to
political friends of influential politi-
clans. This was especially true when
the old CWA program was in effect
and at its height. But through her
entire tenure as State ERA admins
TRAITOR, Mrs O'Berry has maintained
an enviable reputation for aGminis-
tering relief solely on merit and with
out any regard to politics or politi-
cians-not even senators.
Now that the work relief angle is
to be taken from Mrs. O'Berry and
the ERA and put under the new
Works Progress Administration. of
