x A good many people did not read very far into the career of the late Clyde Kelly of Pennsylvania who has just died. The former congressman has several inter- esting sides to his legislative career. Notable among them is his title as Father of the Air Mail' As member of the congressional Post Office committee be did valiant work. It was his work in pushing through Congress the bill calling for carrying of mail by air that earned him the rank above. Stamp collectors, therefore, can join with statesmen and others in paying him tribute. His death was accidental, coming from a bullet wound received while cleaning small rifle.

' What, no more seahorses! They've only got few of them down at New York's famous Aquarium. And if these fellows die, they may not be able to get more to replace them. It seems that seahorses have to have their eel grass to cling to with their tails. And eel grass is on the wane, some disease blighting it. Better spend some relief funds on this, Uncle Sam.

Washington, May 2.-Two inn portant factors regarding the $4,000,000,0o0 work-relief pro- gram are being definitely soft- pedaled by the administration. X
 One is the realization that
 the United States Is in for a
 more or less permanent work
 relief program if unemploy-
 ment is to be wiped out
 Two is the fact that large
 part of the work-relief plan is nothing more than a thin-
 ly disguised revival of CWA.
 The first of these represents a distinct departure from the 1883 public works expenditure of $3,330,000,000, the chief aim of which was to brine the pump" until industry could get going. Now it is pretty generally be- lieyed that industry is not go- ong to get, going in sufficient degree to absorb the great army of ~orklesseven in the more distant future. Administration masterminds are not saying much about this, but recent surveys show thath labor saving developments have been such that even with a return of the 1928 boom, there would. be. .aro 1928 boom, there would be around five to six million idle.
 With a. permanent relief pro- gram ahead, it was figured that the least demoralizing type Of relief was work-relief.
 Hence the revival of CWA. SMALL WORKS
 Prese work-relief plans however, are to be more thor, ough and carefully planned than the CWA. The latter was hurriedfy thrown together or- ganization aimed chiefly at car rying the nation through the winter.
 Part of the new four billion dollar expenditure will, of course. go to the old type of PWA projects. There is to be an un- employment census, the country is to be divided into regions, and funds will be rationed to areas where there is greatest need. s S
 The new CWA will be called

In recognition of his important
 contributions to patriotic and
 charitable undertakings, Emperor
 Francis Joseph conferred upon
 him the title of Baronet Pokol of Nagylozna.
 When the output of his mine be- gan to diminish, Pokol sold 1t in 1916 to a Swiss c0nsortium for the
 sum of 100000 Swiss Francs.
 Trusting in a second stroke of good luck. he invested the greater part of this sum in buying up other gold claims. But Fate did not smile again upon him. Following the war, in 1921, when his district had become part of Rumania, the munificeft "Gold King although his fortunes were already on the decline, presented lasi new sovereigns with pair of solid gold crowns weighing to- gether six pounds.
 Sold Properties Operation costs of his new mines, which remained sterile, and the imitation swallowed up the rest of Pokols fortune, who never had been a good business man. He was compelled to sell out his properties one after the other. The premature death of his be- loved son, who was councillor nt the Rumanian legation in Berlin, was another hard blow for the de- throned "Cold King"
 In q second rate hotel of Buda- pest, whither he had come to seek relief from illness, Pokol, once one of the richest men throughout fhe
 Bailans, died in complete poverty at 7i,

Expects
further Grant
Possibility of Additional
$1,000, 900 Develops Af-
ter Conference

Raleigh-George w. Coan, Jr.,
State works progress administrator
for North Carolina, said Monday
indications were North Carolina
would receive an additional grant
of $1,300,OO0 for the WPA pro-
gram. Coan has just returned
from a regional conference in New
Orleans.
A recent boost of 100000 in
Federal funds for the WPA gave
the State $S,4oo,0oo in all to spend
for obs. TIE additional allotment
would raise this total to $1,000, 900.
In addition to announcing the
possibility of an additional allot-
ment, as suggested in conference
with Regional Field Representative
Malcolm J. Miller, Coan asserted the
majority of the states in the South
ern region had been ordered to e
duce administrative expenses.
( Coan. said North Carolina would
be expected to make consultations
| as we'll as transfers of administra-
tive personnel to the project opera
lions.
District WPA directors in North
Carolina already have been given
instructions to proceed with the
consolidation pragrom.
Coan stated his intention to "as-
sign all available qualified relief
labor, except those now working
on WPA projects carrying No. !
priority to the FedessT-aId Egh;
way program which has been ham
pered by a scarcity of labor in the
; areas where bodybuilding is con-
templated. Regulations of the Fed
eral Bureau of Roads require that
80 per cent of relief labor be used
on the road projects.
1t has been calculated that the
$9,5o0,0o0 allocated to North Car
DINA for highway work should
give employment to $4,000 heads Of
families in the State.
So far, the State WPA has given
employment to approximately 49,
900 persons, said Coan. Ten of
the II states in the Southern region
exceeded theft quotas before the
end of November, the State ad-
ministrator>reported.

Change
For $1,000 Bill

New York-The American Air
lines finally got rid of 5000 in spare
change when the owner to whom
they had originally Offered it de-
cided it belonged to him after all.
A Detroit lawyer, leaving on the
morning plane for his home town,
gave the ticket agent a bill and
received change for 500. The
ticket agent later discovered a
bonafide $1,000 bill but no 500
note. The lawyer said the money
was not his. No other passenger
would claim it.
Later the Detroit man radioed
the airline offices here hat the
money was his after all and he
would be delighted if they would
send it on to him.

POWER OF THE GROUP

Politicians know the power of
organization. Those with long
memories recall the way in which
the Anti-Saloon League put over
Prohibition, by organizing the
church people in every community
and using the pressure group
method to defeat "wet' candidates
and elect dry" ones. They were
laughed at as fanatics-but they got
Prohibition. The Townsendites are
looked upon by the politicians on
Capitol Hill as equally fanatical-
but they are beginning to feel the
pressure.
1t is believed here that there are
more potential votes behind the
Townsend movement than there
ever were behind Prohibition. To
most folks,-ehe Prohibition move
ment was somewhat abstract, based
upon moral principles. The Town
send movement is decidedly con-
crete, and is based upon the funda-
mental human itch to get something
for nothing.
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1935-12-27
ACTION
PREDICTED

One inevitable effect of the
Townsend threat, observers here
believe, will be a desperate effort
to put through at the coming ses-
sion of Congress some amendment
to the Social Security Act, to make
the Old-Age Benefits provided for
by that measure payable imme-
diately and in full to every quail
fled person, instead of at some time
in the distant future. Also, to
raise the ante" from the present
sliding scale, which runs from $40
to $S5 a month, to come nearer to
meeting the demands of the Town
sendites.
There is little belief, however;
that such a program can be put
over. 1t is fairly certain that
President Roosevelt would veto it if
it were passed. The Social Securi-
ty Act only received his approval
after the parts which would have
required direct appropriations by
the Federal Government were
stricken out, and the plan put on
an actuarial self-perpetuating basis
The political implications of the
Townsend threat as it may affect
the choice of the Republican candi-
date, and the election next Novem-
Der, are being carefully appraised.
1t is a quite general understanding
