study of those problems.
He declared that the interests
of the people of the state in the

The letter signed by Wilburn
was drafted in the presence Of
Gov. Eugene Talmadge, whose bit
ter attacks on the New Deal have
charged the Roosevelt administra-
ton with violating states rights
and platform pledges for economy.
Talmadge's expense-cutting pro-
gram in Georgia, which he holds
up as an example to the national
administration, is at the root OF
the present fuss which leaves the
states share of highway funds
from the new relief appropriation
tied up in Washington.

ALLEGED BANK ROBBER TAKEN
HERE HAD 5 SUB-MACHINE GUNS
Man Living On Jump Off
Mountain Said To Ad-
nit Identity

A man known to federal Of
ficers as Craven, but whose in.
itials were not learned, was ar,
rested yesterday afternoon about
5 o'clock by Department of Justice
Agent M. C. Falkner and Deputy
Sheriff Roy Owens on Jump Of
Mountain and will be taken to II.
linois to face trial on bank rob
berry charges.
Craven is wanted in Cape Point,
ILL.,, for bank robbery, according
to Mr.. Faulkner. He was taken to
the Asheville Jail last night pre-
liminary to being returned to H.
linois.
The man, according to reports,
had been living in an automobile
trailer on the mountain near the
point where the paved highway
divides and passes around small
park. According to Sheriff M. n.
Orr he had become fairly well
known to residents in that section.
His automobile trailer was
equipped for house keeping and
even had an electric refrigerator,
operated from the battery of the
car, a Chevrolet.
The man was taken by surprise
when arrested. He first gave an
other name, but lated admitted to
the sc" Man than he was Crav-
en-, it was said. A search of the
trailer revealed five sub-machine
guns of a German make, Sheriff
Orr said.
A total of $500 in travellers
checks was also found in the au-
tomobile trailer. The automobile
and trailer were left here, but the
small arsenal was taken by the
federal agent.
