Special Pass

PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. 80
G.N.SD-Crews of laborers worked
until dawn today to clear the Penn
Sylvania Railroad tracks of the
wreck of the crack flyer Cleve-
lander, which jumped the rails and
left one man dead and at least 20
injured.
It was feared for a time that
Gov. Alfred M. Landon's Sun
flower Special" en- route from
New York to Charleston, w. Va,
would have to be sent over an
other route because of the wreck
age on the main line, but one track
was cleared so that the special
passed the wreck at 2:12 a. m.
The dead man, who was decapi-
tated, vas believed to be Edward
Snyder of Detroit. His clothing
bore that name and he had a
receipt in his pocket from the
Central Radio Store of Detroit.
The train was about a quarter
of a mile out of Princeton juno
ton, when the last six cars left the
tracks.
Railroad officials today were in
vestigating the possibility that the
train may have lost a wheel, thus
causing the swinging of one car
to carry others from the rails.
Hurting cars smashed down
several iron poles, supporting power
lines, and rescuers had to work in
the darkness. All four tracks at
Princeton Junction were blocked
by the wreckage for several hours.

concern.
Robert G. Johnson of Raleigh, Sec
rotary of the North Carolina Petro-
leum Industries Committee, assisted
in organizing the county group here
and discussed the automotive situa-
tion generally.
A resolution was adopted calling up
on the North Carolina senators and
the congressman from this district to
support proposals in Congress for re-
peal of the Federal gasoline tax and
the tax on lubricating oils.
The resolution, in full, follows:
WHEREAS, the motorists and Au-
tomotive and oil industries are over
burdened with excessive taxation in
the State of North Carolina to such
an extent, it is very doubtful if the
thousands of citizens depending on
these industries for their livelihood
can find it possible to continue to con-
tribute to national and State recovery
as they would like, and as they should
be in position to do;
NOW, Therefore, Be It Resolved
that our two United States senator's
and the districts congressman be re-
quested to use their votes and in
flunece toward the immediate repeal
of the Federal gasoline tax and the
Federal lubricating oil tax and leave
this field of taxation to the individual
States as was understood and agreed
in 1892, at the time the Federal tax
was imposed as an emergency meas
Ure.
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED,
that our State senator's and represen-
tatives be requested to oppose ali ad-
ded taxes on the oil and atitomotive
industries and the motorists and sup
port measures intended to equalsxe
North Carolina gasoline and motor
vehicle taxes with that Of the aver
age prescribed for then alton to the
end that North Carolina citizens and
business men will not continue to be
penalized."

Graham Hits At Cure-AU
In Address To Lions Meet
Held At The Country Club
Next Five Years To See AS Great Changes as Last
Few Years; Several Humid red Attend Ladies' Night
Program; Numerous Clubs Are Represented

A warning against the schemes and
promises of "cure-alls" for "our trou-
bles" was sounded by Lieutenant Gov
ernor A. H. Graham in his address at
the Ladies' Night meeting of the Hen
derson Lions club at West End coun-
try Club here Monday night. The
event was attended by some 200 or
more Lions and their ladies and
guests from nearly a dozen clubs in
this vicinity.
Mr.. Graham was tht chief speaker
of the evening, and reminded of the
rapid changes now taking places in
government. He extorted his audience
to take an interest in government,
for things are not going to remain as
they now are" He predicted the next
five years would see changes as great
as those that have come about in the
past three or four years.
1t is the duty of Lions members and
thoughtful citizens to ponder the pro-
blems that exist and to help solve
them, to the end that the world may
be made a happier place for people
to live in. He urged an unselfish cit
izenship, and said that more men of
AGILITY and affairs were willing these
days to serve in public places because
the tax load had become so heavy
that it is vitality to their interest to
do so. He implored his audience to
accept the challenge of real oppor-
tunity for service"
