TO GROOM MILLER FOR
WAKE FOREST GUARD

WAKE FOREST, Dec. 20
Among the football candidates
who will report for spring train
ing at Wake Forest, February 8,
is Norman Miller, Hendersonvllie
youth, who was member OF ths
years freshmen squad.
Although Miller was not a reg
ular on the Baby Deacon outfit,
he saw much service as a utility
man. And according to the Frosh
Coach Dave Holton, he was valu-
able man to the squad.
Coach Weaver, head varsity
coach, has indicated that he will
probably shift Norman from the
backfield to a guard. There is a
shortage in candidates for this poo-
sition, and the Deacon mentor is
hoping that the Hendersonvil!e
youth will "come through" at this
post.

sc. HIGHWAY
TANCLE STILL
DEADLOCKED
But Measures Are Offered
In Effort To Solve This
Controversy

COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. W.
Following a conference last nlgh'
between Governor DIN D. John
ston and a committee of legls!a-
tors, some progress toward at
least a temporary solution of the
highway controversy was reported.
However, neither Governor
Johnston nor members of the COM
mittee would make any comment
on the results after the conference
which lasted about an hour last
night.
Meanwhile, South Carolina's
military Governor was charged by
legislators with seeking a seat IN
the United States Senate, and
with using the highway depart
ment row to gain backing from
the people. This charged was made
by Senator Hughes, of Oconee,
and Johnston's comment was that
he had not had time to give
thought to his future political
course.
A second conference between
the Governor and the legislative
committee was last night called
for this morning at o'clock, and
announcement of this meeting was
made by Senator L. d. Lide, of
Marion, chairman of the commit
tee, which is composed of senators
and representatives.
In legislative circles it is con-
sidered unlikely that a permanent
settlement of the difficulties will
be Forthcoming, but it is consider
ed highly possible that a temper
airy agreement will be reached
that will allow the legislature to
adjourn until the regular meeting
date, January Ia.
Governor Johnston announced
that state auditors report show
ed that continued operation of
the highway department on the
present basis cannot be done from
It's own revenue. General funds

Byrnes of South Carolina
Predict Passage Of
Bonus Measure

WASHINGTON. Dec. 20.-As
congressional leaders were return
ing to the capital yesterday, two
predictions came from well in
formed men regarding action on
the bonus issue when congress
again convenes. Speaker JOS. w.
Byrns came out first with state
ment to newspaper men that he
believed the bonus issue would be
disposed of by February l but
he failed to predict what action
would be taken, other than to say
that a non-inflationist provision
for payment of the service mems
compensation would stand a bet
ter chance of getting by the pres
idential veto than another type
of measure.
Shortly afterwards, Senator
Bvrnes, Democrat, South Carroll
ma. having completed a confer
ence at the White House, declared
flatlv that the bill for a bonus
which he and Senator Steiwer, Re-
publican, of Oregon. have intro
duced, would override the presi-
dental veto. The Byrnes-Steiwer
bill would finance the bonus by
means of federal bonus issue.

STILL EXPECTING
CRISIS IN FRANCE

A summary of yesterdays Italo-
Ethiopian war news and continued
repercussions which have follow
ed submission of the Franco Bri-
fish program for revamping the
map of Ethiopia in an effort to
appease Italy and prevent spread
of II Duce's colonial war into a
European conflict showed that
both the warnings nations were
claiming victory in the latest mill
tary engagements, while British
Premier Stanley Baldwin's gov
eminent was given a sweeping
vote of confidence in the house
of lords. Premier Laval's French
administration was not doing 80
well. Predictions in Partisan
circles were to the effect that
the balancing Of the budget for
France, that nations first paper
balanced budget in years, was but
a steap preparatory to the over
throw of that government. Mean
while, the budgetary action has
assured France against the de-
valuation of the franc in any
governmental crisis that may en-
sue.
Adds Ababa had news from
the battle zone in the north that
Italian forces along the Takazze
river front had fled "in great dis
ORDER" the report adding that
they had left the battlefield strewn
with their dead.
In conflict with this were the
Italian communicates statements
with regard to two fronts, claim
ing victories along the Takazze
and further south at Makale.
Britain's newly elected parlia-
ment rejected an attack in a mo-
ton from the Laborites who
sought to brand the government
as "disgracing the nation" giving
the Baldwin regime a sweeping
confidence vote.
Baldwin frankly threw himself
on the mercy of the house, and,
wan and sombre, told the peers
that the Franco-British overtures
were "an error of judgment" He
pledged himself that such "posi-
ton would not be possible again."

be glad to supply information ON
how anyone may aid in this cause.
Each family, including those
who apply at the city hall, will be
investigated to determine the real
merit of the case, Mayor Edwards
said, and citizens who aid may
rest assured that their help will
reach a real and pressing need.
