it is told of black Amazons ruling an

the Indies" Early Spanish explor-
ers thought California was an island

THE WORLD WAR 20 YEARS

Sept. 9. 1915-Dr. Constantine
Theodore Dumba, who was dumb
enough to send a letter home via a
newspaperman, was told to leave
Washington because of what the let
ter contained.
AS told here previously, DR.. Dumba
had induced an American correspond
ent going to Berlin to carry a letter
addressed to Baron Burian. foreign
minister in Vienna. British spies
tipped off London and the correspond
ent was searched when his ship stop

the U. S. government learned all
about German-Austrian plans to fo-
ment labor troubles in American in
dustries. Consequently, on tbs date
Washington told Vienna to recall the
Austrian ambassador.
The principal plotter, the German
ambassador Won Bernstorff, escaped
the same treatment because he had
been more careful about sending re-

end of running the schools-for the
State School Commission is really
nothing more than a budget bureau
for the public schools-was the OPP
Grafton of the schools the past two
years on an appropriation of only,
$16,OOO,O00 a year, most people here
agree. For back in 1928-29 when the
State was contributing only $3,35O,OOO
a year to the public schools, the total
cost of this operation amounted to
$28, 100000, of which $25,25O,OOO came
from local taxes on property. In ad-
dition, most of the schools back in
1928-29 were only six months term
schools while for the past two years
all schools have had an eight months
term. For the past two years, in spite.
of the inadequate appropriation, Maj !.
tin and the school commission have
had the distinction of keeping every
school open for the entire eight
months and of paying the teachers in
full, thus making North Carolina the
only State in the union in which not
a single school closed for lack of
funds.
Martin first went with the Board
of Equalization as it's executive Sec
retary in 1927, after this board had
been created by the 1927 General AS
sembly to supervise the distribution
of the $3,25O,OOO a year which it set
aside abs State aid for the public
schools. At that time, this fund was
to be used as tax reduction fund.-

where school taxes had already reach

unable to pay any more. A portion of

Administrators Hopkins and Ickes:
That out of more than $40 100000
worth of Public Works projects ap-
plications approved by State PWAd-
ministrator Baity, only about 100000
worth have been approved.
Look at Virginia!
That Virginia has at least $600O,-
900 WONT of PWA projects already ap-
proved, with many of them actually
under construction.
That more than $6O,OOOOOO worth of
Works Progress Administration pro-
jects have been approved by State
WPAdministrator George w. Coan,
Jr., but that so far only about $780,
600 worth of these have been ap
proved.
That So far not a single one of the
more than 100000 persons on relief in
North Carolina has been given en-
ployment on any WPA projects
That there are more than $4,000
registered unemployed who want
work on PWA projects, but who have
not been able to get employment be-
cause there are no PWA projects ap-
proved or under way.
That lierally hundreds of PWA and
WPA projects have been prepared in
North Carolina on the basis of rules
and regulations promulgated, only to
be turned down because the rules
and regulations had been changed in
Washington before the projects could
get under the wire
That the dealine for the submission
of both PWA and WPA projects was
moved up so as to allow insufficient
time for the preparation of projects,
and then moved up again later, thus
allowing even less time than had been
allowed at first.
Real Cause of Trouble
That PWA and WPA officials in
Washington have eben clamoring tor
more projects from North Carolina
and making it appear that the State
was slow in preparing them, when
literally millions of dollars worth
projects were either in the State or
Washington offices awaiting action
many of them for many months, with
the originators unable to find out
anything about their probable fate
This committee is also expected to
look into the reports that have been
current to the effect that tone reason
North Carolina is being Disseminated
against is because officials in Wash
ington think it will go Democratic
anyway, SOS there nou Sc of vast
ing any of this money here when it
can be used more effectively in Re
publican states Many think this is
the real root of the trouble.
