By MARSHALL ANDREWS
United Press Staff Correspondent

RALEIGH, Jan. 15.-(UP).-
A s114,O00,OOO budget, with 81

schools. Is per cent salary raises
for state employees, and a sales
tax extended to cover all com
modities is North Cardinals an
swer to the question of finance
for the next two years.
The budget message was read
to the state assembly before noon
today.
This huge sum, covering opera
ton of all the states depart
menst, is divided almost equally
between the years 1896 and
1867. For the first IL months,
a total expenditure of $57,942,-
922 is provided, while $56,4S5,-
Col are allocated to the second
period.
The chief difference between
the two figures lies in $4,000
900 revolving fund for the high
way department to be established
in the first half of the biennium.
The 1857 proposed obliga-
ton is based on an estimated
revenue of $123,526,624 for the

penditures and estimates Of Sl03,-

The appropriation bill accom-
panying the budget calls for ST.

lures in the budget. due to trans
Ger of that amount from the high
way and public works fund the

to the cost of general govern
ment under an :aet-Sof the 1888

In providing a Is per cent in
crease in salaries of state en-
ployes, the budget commission
calls attention to the fact that
this percentage is based on sal
arts and wages in effect at the
present time. The actual in
erase, it is pointed out, amounts
to approximately 9 per cent for
departments and 1 per cent for

1929 pay, and current salarief
will remain below the maximum
by about 20 per cent for depart

Under terms of the 1857

MINISTER WANTS
 ESTATE OF WIFE

Norwalk, Conn, Nov. 5-(U.P)- The ancient law of rights of cour- tesy," under which a husband in- herited the lifetime use of his wife's property, to-day was the basis of a lawsuit brought by the Rev. Dewitt T. Van Doren, to regain possession of property disposed of by Mrs. Van Doren 10 years ago.
 The clergyman petitioned super for court to oust the present owners of the Riverside Apartments, so that he might have use of the hold ings until his death. Then, he said, he was agreeable that the property revert to the owners.
 He based his claim on the fact the old statute was not repealed un- til April 29, 1877 and he had been married prior to that date. Mrs Van Doren, now dead, disposed of the property without obtaining a waiver of his rights. he contended.
 The property is one of the city's largest developments and increased greatly in value since disposed of by Mrs. Van Doren.

 The communication in fulr read as follows:
 Nov. 5, 1885.
 Honorable Frank P. Kellogg, St., 'aul, Minn.
 Honorable Sir: Millions of American citizens who heard your recent radio speech at- tacking Italy's cause and de- lending imperialistic England and its League of Nations, to- gether with your own Kellogg Briand Pact are expecting to bear from you another radio ~ speech telling the American people why the same procedure was not adopted against Japan.
 Isn't Japan also a member of the League of Nations and a party to your Kellogg -Briand Pact?
 Since a great portion of the American public admires your courage in defending England's sponsorship of oppre ssion against Italy, which is adopt ing her own Roman Law to se- cure her colonies and subjects from barbaric races of Ethio- plans and the liberation of mill lions of slaves, great major ity of American citizens cer- tainly would be interested in having you explain to us, why you have hot shown so much interest in seeing the enforce ment of the rules of the League of Nations and your own Kel- logg-Briand Pact, in the face of the present Japanese aggression against China.
 Perhaps China, which accord ing to geography is the largest nation in the world, and ac- cording to history certainly more civilized than Abyssinia and which is also a full fiedged member of the League of Ma

MANY WITNESSES
 TO BE SUMMONED

Boston, Nov. 5-(UP)-Twenty witnesses, mostly men, will be sum- moned to an inquest into the strange death of Robert J. (Bobby) Mythen, 18-year-old Winthrop high school athlete.
 Asst tant Attorney General Henry P. Fielding, who is directing the reopened investigation, prob ably will submit the witness list to Municipal Judge Wilfred J. Bolster today. Date for the inquest will then be fixed.
 Young Mythen vanished during Beacon Hills last Christmas Eve celebration, and authorities theorize he may have been drowned deliber- ately because of his knowledge of the activities of pagan cult hav- ing headquarters near the Massa- chusettS state house.
 The body of another youth, John F. Lavin, 23-year-old University club bartender. was found yester- day in the Charles river, not far from the spot where Mythen's body was discovered last March.

"Kid Tarantula'' Arrives In Town

Bananas are one thing, tar- antulaS are another.
 And when the two of them get together, there are bound to be a few thrills. Such was the case this morning at the market on the South Main street side of z the F. and w. Grand store.
 An employe was cutting a bunch of bananas.
 "Hey, look," he shouted, there by bringing Jake Bromberg, manager of the fruit depart ment, to the scene on the run.
 There nestling against the stalk, was a baby tarantula but, though a baby, he was more than four inches long and equipped with legs that seemed as long as those of a girl in the front line of a Broadway chorus.
 Bromberg, grabbed a bottle, lifted up the surprised tarantula with a knife and pushed the poisonous pest into the bottle. It remained on display at the store the rest of the day.
 Near the tarantula was found a good-sized egg, comparable in size with a chickens egg, from which it had apparently just emerged.

News from the war front indicat- ed today that Italy's conquest of Ethiopia is going to be long, te- dious job lasting for mony months.
 Webb Miller reported from the zone facing Makale that the highly mechanized, efficient Italian army has been slowed up in it's advance by Slippery soup in which mules floundered and fell.
 The advance was ordered held up while further road-building is att tempted. The event illustrates the difficulty the Italians will encoun- ter throughout the campaign in the terrifically broken, wilderness coun- try through which they must ad- vance.
 Their Easiest Task
 Their easiest task will be the cap ture of Addis Ababa after the pres ent phase of the campaign ends. Twenty or 30 miles south of Makale begins modern road built by Halle Selassie, leading right to his capital.
 Italian tanks and infantry should have little difficulty rolling along the road, which, for that country, could almost be called highway.
 The general trend of today'S news was not exciting. Rome got a roundabout report that an Ethio- plan caravan had been bombed in the east, with the loss of 500 Ethio- plans. However, no such story list ing high casualties has ever been borne out so far in the war.
 Leader Heard From
 Addis Ababa, Nov. 5.-(UP)-Re- ceipts of letter from Ras Kassa one of Ethiopia's greatest military leaders, today ended anxiety as tc his fate. Ras Kassa went to the northern country with reinforce ments and nothing had been heard from him. AS the result of the let ter, officials said that 8 silence o1 several weeks meant only. difficulty in communicating with the capital
 There hadd been reports that Ras Kassa might have made plans te desert the emperor and submit te the Italians, though he was regard ed as one of Ethiopia's most loya soldiers.
 Cripple Welcomes Them Asmara, Eritrea, Nov. 5-(UP)- The Italian troops pushing theil front lines slowly but surely closer to Makale today were hailed, a. they advanced. by one-leggec Ethiopian who welcomed the firsi Italian invasion of his homeland 39 years ago.
