Houses. trees, barns and commu-
nication lines fell before a heavy

HIGH WINDS,

IN CAROLINA
Damage Is Wrought in Ra.
leigh Section; no Fa-
talities Reported

High winds and driving rain,
believed to be a part of the
storm sweeping the Carolina coast,
visited Hendersonville last night,
but as far as could be learned
little damage was done here.
Rain, which fell during most Of
the day, turned to sleet and snow
about 6 o'clock last night and the
wind rose to almost gale velocity
as night fell and continued during
most of the night. Temperatures
fell to slightly below freezing
early in the night. The minimum
official temperature had not been
reported toGay.
The wind blew down a tree in
Laurel Park, which disrupted cleo
trio and power service for a time
about 30 o'clock last night.
Telephone service was also slight
ly damaged. A tree which blew
down at King street and Sixth
avenue temporarily put out tele-
phone service there.
Streams in the county were
swollen by rains of the past few
days and we're out of their banks
in many places.

ported by Solons

RALEIGH. March 13.-Final
approval was given yesterday to
a bill for the establishment of a
state tuberculosis sanatorium in
Western North Carolina as the
senate passed the measure on
third reading. Formal ratification
by the assembly was expected to-
day.
The house committee on consti-
tutional amendments last night
unfavorably reported the resolu-
ton proposing ratification of the
federal child labor amendment.
The finance and appropriations
committees made little progress in
effecting a balance between reve-
nue. and expenditures for the next
biennium and it appeared that the
money measures might be report
ed to the house with the spending
bill $2,800,000 in excess of reve-
nue. expected.
The measure proposing the Gre
alton of a state port authority was
withdrawn by its sponsors yester-
day when it was pointed out that
passage of such an act might en-
danger the chances of Morehead
City to carry through the port
development approved by the fed
eral government.

increase the legal content of beer

ment to tax dividends of domestic
and foreign corporations on the
same basis as income from any
other source was added yesterday.

RICHBERG DECLARES
CODES ARE FAVORED

WASHINGTON, Mar. 10. (UP).
The White House and powerful
utilities industries have locked
horns in what promises to de-
velop into the next spectacular
new deal fight.
The battle which began with
the presidents message to con-
gress yesterday demanding the
abolition of utility holding com
,panies will be launched tomorrow
when utilities present their OBJ
iections to the Rayburn-Wheeler
bill designed to outlaw holding
companies by 1910.
Utilities leaders issued defiant
statements and continued mar
shilling their forces for the COM
mittee hearing, pledging a fight
to the finish.
Roosevelt's message left no
doubt that the new deal is stalk
ing much on the measures pass

The White House decided TO
keep its hands off in the house
fight over the soldiers bonus,
leaders said today as the way
was cleared for one of the bitter
est issues of the session. 1t was
said if the administration offers
a compromise bill, it will be in
the senate and not the house.
Donald Richberg in testimony
today declared the general senti-
ment is overwhelmingly in favor
of continuance of the codes. He
told the finance committee he
would bring "battalions of bust
ness men" to testify before the

Hole BILL is PASSED
IN LOWER HOUSE
The house yesterday passed
bill over which it has wrangled
for several days-an increase Of
81, 750,000,000 in the bond au-
thorization of the Home Owners
Loan Corporation-and when the
last faye" was recorded it was
found only two members opposed
it.
Then it passed on to considera-
ton of the S112,270,309.60 first
deficiency bill.
The vote on the Hole bill was
400 to 2. The lone opponents
were Representative Walter G.
Andrews, R., N. Y, and Schuyler
Merritt, R., Conn.
Only two important amend
ments were made before the bill
was passed. One increased the
authorization 250,000.000 and
the other authorized the Hole
to consider applications for loans
for 60 days after final passage
of the bill. The bill also carried
several amendments to the fed
eral housing law, one of which
empowered the FLA to insure
loans of not more than $4,000
for improving apartment houses
and industrial plants. The bill
would enable Hole to aid thou
sands more home owners who
face loss of their property due
to inability to meet mortgage
payments.

DEATH THREAT
BIG STRAIN ON
CUBAN STRIKE
Revolutionary Move Shows
Sign Of Cracking Under
Drastic Measure

United Press Staff Correspondent

HAVANA, Cuba. March ID
(UP)-The revolutionary general
strike paralyzing Cuban activities
showed signs of cracking last night
under the strain of martial law
and the threat of death for sab
Otage.
Encouraged by evidence of
weakening in the united front of
strikers seeking overthrow of the
Observation-Disclosures regime. the gov
eminent moved to crush the move
ment under the iron heel of its
armed forces.
Employees of the state, justice,
communications, and treasury, re-
turned to work. City Hall work
ers Hershey railroad employees
and icemen returned to their jobs.
Many street cars and taxis operat-
ed, and telephone service was viz
tually normal.
President Carlos Mendieta as
serted the strikers cause was lost,
and Mayor Guillermo Belt pre-
dicted end of the strike within
4S hours.
Apparent triumph of the gov
eminent over its adversaries was
due to the unqualified backing of
Colonel Fulgencio Batista's armed
forces, the support of Cuban con-
servatives, and the definite eco
nomic improvement in Cuba.
