to Outline Plans

Raleigh.-The State Highway and
Public Works commission is expected
to meet in June to plan it's program
for the next fiscal year which in
cludes the use Of $1,O00,0OO in high
way maintenance funds to remove
men from relief rolls, Capus M. Way
nick, chairman, said last Friday.
The statewide relief program has
been supported almost wholly by di-
rect Federal grants since 1888.
Neither Waynick nor Governor
Ehringhaus were prepared to say
what policy will be pursued in admin
istration of the highway maintenance
fund for relief. Both said no specific
recommendations had been received
from relief headquarters in Washing
ton.
Mrs. Thomas O'Berry, state relief
administrator, said she had been in
formed men would be taken from the

N. C.. GETS S9,OOO,OO
FROM WORK FUND

Raleigh.-North Cardinals share
of $9,544,131 in the federal public
works fund will be expended as rap
idly as work can be brought to con-
tract after regulations are received
from the government as to how the
money must be spent, w. Vance
Baise, state highway and public
works chief engineer, said.
Of the $9,544,1S1 allotted this
state, $4,72O,173 was designated for
highways and streets and $4,823, 1858
for highway-railway grade separa-
tions and protection.
In addition to the public works
money, North Cardinals share of the
unexpended $1OO,OOO,OOO unappropri-
ated balance under the Hayden-Cart-
wright act was $2,420,470.50.
That act last year provided this
state with $4,8OO,OOO for road and
street construction by outright grant.
North Carolina also will get $685.
900 in each of the next two fiscal
years under the Hayden-Cartwright
measure, but the money must be
matched with state funds on a $3.50
basis in order to get the federal allot-
ment. The recent legislature federal

DRY VICTORY IN
GEORGIA VOTING

Atlanta, May ia lead of 227
votes for the dry was recorded to-
night in the latest recheck of returns
from Wednesdays repeal referendum
in Georgia.
Official certificates poured into the
office of Secretary of State John B.
Wilson throughout the day, but when
the last tabulation was made by the
Associated Press % counties still had
not reported to him. However, the
unofficial returns from these coun-
ties were rechecked.
The last tabulation contained the
returns sent to Secretary Of State
Wilson from 1877 counties. The unof-
fetal reports from the remainder of
the 159 counties in Georgia, together
with the official returns, in this tabu-
lation showed:
For repeal, 81 1893.
Against repeal, 2,12O.
Beer and wine, voted on separately
in the same referendum, maintained
their majorities of approximately
10000 votes. Under the legislative
act for referendum, these two alco-
holic drinks are to be legalized i'm
mediately on the issuance of the
governors proclamation.

AUTO WORKERS
CHEER ON THEIR
RETURN TO JOBS
$4,000 of $4,000 Affected by Strike
of Body Plants Recalled to
Assume Work

Detroit. - Thousands of General
Motors employees cheered as they re-
turned to work last Friday, the en-
forced furlough which cost them
100000 in wages ended by settle
ment of the strike in the Chevrolet
Motor Co., transmission plant at
Toledo.
The workmen on the day shift IN
the Toledo Chevrolet plant smiled
and cheered as they reported for
work. Some 1900 men were recalled
there, and more than $500 were re-
turning to work with reopening of
the big Fisher Body Co., plan in
Cleveland. Earlier in the week the St.
Louis Chevrolet and Fisher plants,
employing 1920 men and the Flint,
Mich, Fisher plant No. employing
1900 men resumed operations.
Operations were speeded up and
approximately two-thirds of the
workmen were recalled in the larry
town, N. Y, Chevrolet and Fisher
plants and the Bloomfield, N. j.,
Chevrolet branch, which have been
operating with curtailed forces to
turn out government orders. The
Tarrytown plants employ $500 men
and the Bloomfield plant $50.
Workmen in numerous plants sup
plying steel, glass, and other materi-
ais to General Motors also were being
recalled, but no estimates on the num-
Der involved were available here.

REMOVE BEER SIGNS
AS BAPTISTS FROWN

Memphis, Tenn, May 16.-North
Main street restaurants "went dry"

A group of delegates to the South

cafe, noticed a "beer for sale" sign
and then left without ordering their
meals.
Shortly most of the restaurants in
the vicinity of the convention hall re-
moved their beer signs. One enter
prising food dispenser substituted
their little window advertisement:
"Baptists welcome-no intoxicants

STORM BREWING? In Fourth
Congressional District, so ably repre-

fury by the beloved late Edward w.
Pou, it now appears there may be a
lively scrap. It is rumored around
Raleigh that Representative w. l..
Lumpkin, known to one and all as the
co-author of the Mcdonald Lumpkin
plan in the late Legislature and ga
peoples candidate" may offer in op-
position to Congressman Harold D.
Cooley. Mr.. Lumpkin was a bitter
opponent Of taxing "fat-back and
molasses", always a friend of the
schools and an avowed "liquor con-
troll" man. He has carved a name
among young Democratic leaders.
The rumor-graph also reports that
former Representative Otway Binns
Moss, of Nash, is feeling out the
Fourth District Congressional waters.
Others mentioned as possible foes of
Congressman Cooley are State Sena-
tors Carroll Weathers, of Wake, and

BLACKEYE-R. r. Clark, column
list of the Greensboro Daily News,
does not fail to crack down on Secre-
tary of State Stacey w. Wade, for
his reported failure to take vo1un-
tary salary cut along with the en-
forced shortened rations of other
State employees. Clark wrote: "The
constitutional officers whose pay
could not be cut as a matter of law,
were asked to voluntarily contribute
a specified amount to the State in it's
hour of need. Some of them did. One
State Official was listed and publish
ed as refusing to contribute one thin
dime. He is among those on the
salary increase list. Since it seemed
impossible to leave him off, we may
hope if not pray, that he won't be
on the receiving end when the salary
begins to yield an increase. Mr..
Clark might have added that State
Auditor Baxter Durham, publicly de-
clared to be neither Auditor nor Pub
lie Accountant, made "pitiable and
miserable small" contribution. It has
been intimated that both Secretary
Wade and Auditor Durham may be
faced with strong opposition in the
Primary next spring.

LIQUOR-The eleventh-hour patch
work liquor bill passed by the late

questioned. The constitution says that

SPECIAL SESSION-An this talk
about special session of the legisla-
ture to do something about liquor and
social security is coming from out
sideside the Governors Office despite
the fact that the Governor is the only
man who can call such a special ses-
sion. In the office Of Governor
Ehringhaus there are no signs of a
special session and unless something
bigger than a shoe-string breaks
there is not Likely to be one this year.
NOT so BAD-When Senator w.
P. Horton, a personal wet from dry
county, put the legislative clincher on
the Day bill to put the State in the
liquor business lot of his friends
thought he had done himself a great
political damage. But when the smoke
of the session cleared and the 17-coun-
ty liquor bill was examined heads be-
gan to shake differently. In some cir

action against the hodge-podge whis-
key bill will be such as to elevate
Senator Horton for his action in seek
ing to prevent such thing.
FISH-Down on the coast the ma
tives are hoping that some OF the
Federal governments billions for re-
lief can be secured for the construc-
ton of quick-freezing refrigeration
plants in order that seafoods may be
stored and marketed in an orderly
manner. The chances are that R.

walton and Development and himself
native of the "banks" will go to bat

, from the sea. 1t looks like a grand
opportunity to do something about
this fishing in a big way.

NEW TARGET-Now that the
General Assembly is no more lat
least for ninety days or more) Tar
Heels will focus their attention more
acutely to. national affairs and in
stead of petitioning State Senators
and Representatives, appeals will go
to U. S. Senators and Congressman.
Right at this time North Carolinians
probably are more interested in agri-
cultural, bonus and public utilities
legislation. Many a letter will go
forth to Washington concerning the
Warren potato control bill, the Pat
man bonus bill (fated for Presiden-
tial veto). Probably as many COM
munications will protest that section
of the Wheeler-Rayburn bill which
proposes to place operating gas and
electric companies under Federal
rather than State control. Proponents
and opponents of both the Bonus and
Rayburn bills are reported active.

byists insofar as the people as a

sion of highway funds and the out
come of such legislation was not dis
pleasing, although there is an addi-
tional contingent diversion. Mr.. Pou
fought side-by-side with the school
forces seeking higher school appro-
priations. He also favored better pay
for teachers, highway and prison en-
ployees, as we'll more cakes and cof-
fe for all State hired help. Unable to
attend the sessions in person, Mr.
Pou made one radio appeal from his
bed and radio officials said it was
probably the first radio "bed-side'
talk made in North Carolina.

of the natives think so. Representa-
tive VIM. Scholl, of the great State of

en- Liquor Stand

ASHEVILLE, Nov. ID. - The
North Carolina Baptist associa-
ton yesterday heard a report
from the committee on social SER
vice and civic righteousness which
deprecated the activities of So
called 100 per cent American or
CARNATIONS.
The report specifically, it was
pointed out, the use of the Nat
ional Guard to suppress strikes,
the statute which virtually denies
political groups the use of the
ballot, the apparent abridgement
of the constitutional rights Of ha.
beas corpus by prisoners indicted
for alleged political crimes, the
application Of the gag rule against
political agitators and the inhu-
man and brutal treatment OF pris-
oners.
The convention also adoped a
resolution pledging active effort
to prevent the inactment of a IL
ouor law inclusive of all counties
of the state and to secure the re-
neal of the present law whereby
iiouor stores are operated IN IL
counties. .
Rev +. NJ. Poteat, Jr., present.
ed the report of the social service
committee, which also urged the
body's protest against military
coursos in state schools being con-
tinued on a compulsory basis.
The recommendation that the
convention make definite provls-
ion for the study of its obligations
to the group Of former inmates OF
presentin ga plan for dealing Wig
.orously with the problem met with
mich approval. Former Judge }.
n Harwood spoke on this topic.
