Raleigh. March PA special ses-
sion of the North Carolina General
Assembly is still regarded as extreme
ly remote in informed circles here'
even if Congress should enact the
Kerr State compacts bill now being
considered in Washington. For while
press reports from Washington indi-
cate that the chances for the enact
ment of this State compacts bill are
good before this session of Congress
adjourns, confidential reports SAID 10
have been received by Governor j. e.
B. Ehringhaus and others, are report
ed as indicating that the chances Tor
the passage of this bill are not very
bright.
It is a we'll known fact here that
Governor Ehringhaus is still very
much opposed to a special session for
any purpose whatever ,and that he IS
still convinced that a special session,
if it were meeting here now, could
not pass any tobacco crop control law
that would be effective until Congress
has first passed an act validating the
enactment of State compact laws.
Governor Ehringhaus has already
pointed out that the Virginia COM
pact law the only one already en-
acted-provides that it shall not be
put into effect until Congress passes
the necessary permissive legislation,
until North Carolina and South Caro-
lima pass similar acts, and until Geor-
gia voluntarily agrees to undertake
a definite degree Of tobacco crop con-
troll. He further points out that South
Carolina has not yet enacted its laws,
that Congress has not yet enacted the
required permissive act needed to
validate these pacts and that by the
time all these can be enactd it will
be too late to do anything about the
1886 crop.
Governor Ehringhaus has said that
if these other laws are passed by Con-
gress and South Carolina in a form
that will permit North Carolina to
join in the pact, he will call a special
session. But it is believed he is al
ready convinced that these laws will
not be passed in time for a special

Illinois Pension Measure
Starts A Political Blaze;
Governor Is Facing Split

Springfield, Ill. March 26-Gov.
Henry Horner, a Democrat, recently
called a special session of the Legis-
lature ito make effective certain So
cial security legislation, including old
age pensions
But when the legislators, mostly
Democrats, passed an old age assist
ance bill Governor Horner promptly
vetoed it.
And the Illinois League of Women
Voters, which, among others, has
actively worked for enactment of an
old age pension bill, just as promptly
wrote the Governor commencing him
for his stand.
What appears to be an inconsistent
CIV is actually only the result, it is
pointed out, of Governor Horners
and the leagues disapproval OF the
form of the bill offered, rather than
a change of sentiment or Reputation
of stated policy.
Approve Measure
Governor Homer approved the bill
as originally submitted but insisted
that as passed. with amendments
which vested administrative power
IN county Judges luSlSdu VI lAlS ONo1o
Public Welfare Department, it did
not comply with the Federal Social
Security Board requirements and
that the State would not be able to
share in federal appropriations. Cut
off from federal funds the State
could pay only SIS instead of $780,
There is no clear-cut rule or re-
quirement set up by the Federal
Social Security Board covering this
matter of administration of state
laws so there is disagreement over
the Governors contention, with no in
dication Of an early settlement of the
controversy.
Anyway the Legislature passed the
bill over the Governors veto by an
overwhelming majority, so Illinois has
an old age pension law, of a sort.
The Governors action has been in
terpreted as a sign of his honesty
and courage" particularly in view
of the fact that he soon will be up
for reelection.

so Million Trees
Wait Planting In
Dust Storm Areas

st. Paul. Mimi, March 26 (AP)-
Officials of the federal shelterbelt pro
iect TODAY neared the first largescale
planting of a tree barrier planned to
extend from North Dakota to the
Texas Panhandle.
Forty million seedlings will be
planted this spring, DR.. Raphael zon
director of the Lakes State Forest
Experiment Station of the United
States Forest Service, said. The stock
he added, was grown last summer on
land leased from 20 commercial nur-
series.
Entering it's second year, the pro
iect seeks to provide 1OO-mile wide
swath of trees through the prairie
plains of the Middle West. The states
included are North and South Da-
kota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma
and Texas-all sufferers in the dust
storms since 1884.
DR.. Zon asserted the farmer now
was convinced of the desirability of
the shelterbelt and said he believed
that by "the end of five years the
trees will have reached sufficient
height to afford some degree of eff
fectiveness in retarding surface wind
movement and obstructing drifting
snow and soil.

FAMILY IN JAPAN

Durham, March 26-Duke univer-
sity people are taking steps to assume
full support of the young American
missionary in Japan whom Toyohiko
Kagawa has called his pecan mis-
sionary." A graduate of Duke and
of the Duke school Of religion, Rev.
Weyman c. Huckabee, in addition to
his usual missionary and education
al work, has aided Kagawa in secur-
ing American pecans and hickories
and other edible nut trees, for cult
walton in Japan's less favored agri-
cultural regions.
In his recent visit to Duke, the Jap
anese religious and social leader de-
scribed his project to introduce new
varieties of trees in Japan, and de-
clared the young Duke graduate has
been of great help to him in secur-
ing plants. He paid a high tribute to
the general work Of Rev. Mr.. Huck-
abee, who is in charge of the Frazer
night school in Hiroshima.

Puerto Rico Girds
Itself for Battle
To Win Statehood

San Juan, P. R.-A contest over the
issue of granting statehood privileges
to Puerto Rico is expected to engage
the attention of Congress at the next
session. Opposition will be manag-
ed by Luis Munoz Martin, Liberal
Party leader.
The Independentistas have at their
command more tnan $40,0OO,OOO al
lotted by the last Congress for rehabi-
litating the island. This money is to
be expended upon a plan other than
emphasized redistribution of the land.
The program is intended to break up
the sugar plaCtations and other agri-
cultural industries dependent upon
the United States market.
The objective is to render Puerto
Rico self-supporting and independent
for it's income upon United States
markets that will be closed or rend
cred less profitable to an independent
republic than to an insular possession.
Uncle Sans rehabilitation money
is to be spent on a 1O-year program
for which legislation will be sought in
January. 1t is proposed to force plan
tation owners to sell much of their
land to the rehabilitation administra-
ton. This land, in three-acre plots
will be resold to farm laborers, super
vised and assisted in growing diver
sified food crops for which Puerto
Rico is dependent to a very great ex-
tent upon the United States at the
present time.
DR.. Ernest H. Gruening, chief Of the
bureau of insular affairs, Department
of Interior, is not expected to make a
stand for independence at the present
session, but it is understood that he
will throw his weight behind the an
tistatehood campaign. He does not
feel that the island is ready to step
out as republic at the present, but
believes that should Congress agree to
his rehabilitation plan, economic de-
fects of the present day will be alter
ed in a fashion to make the demand
for independence less hopeless.
The statehood advocates are active
ly opposing the Gruening rehabili-
tation plan because it involves accept
ance of governmental and economic
theories with which they are not in
sympathy. They doubt that it will be
possible to put Puerto Rico on it's feet
by spending rehabilitation money on
agriculture exclusively.

Peculiar Position

And in this respect the Governor
found himself in much the same posi-
ton as other executives who have
faced the dilemma of signing bill
the principle of which they approve
but to the form Of which they OBJ
iect or disappearing it and running
the risk of having their action mis-
interpreted by the voters as lack
of sympathy with the idea.
But of course there are political inn
plicationS in the whole situation
which to some extent may duplicate
those found under similar circum-
stances in other states.
Rural districts usually part with
representatives of such metropolitan
centers as Chicago on the desirability
of centralized control of expenditures
on such things as old age pensions.
The big fellow wants state control
whenever there's a chance for him to
control the state government. The
others invariably want local control,
or home rule, for they feel they'll fare
better than if things were in the
hands of the city or any machine.
In this cast though, the bill, amend
ed to provide this local control in
stead of state, was not only supported
but its final passage was initiated, by
the Chicago, or Cook County Demo
cratic group. Thus both Chicago and
the DOWNSTAIRS backed it, against the
governor.
Cook County Backing
That the Cook County group backed
the bill because they knew Governor
Horner former ally, but with whom
they have broken, opposed it, is ques-
tionable.
For it would seem that under local
control, they would benefit only in
Cook county, whereas under state con
troll. as was pointed out before they
might expect to continue to keep a
finger in the pie elsewhere. 1t does
not seem likely that the machine
would risk losing its statewide in
fluence over this fund.- just to punish
the Governor.
Some suggest, and this seems more
plausible, that the Cook County ma
chimes appearance behind the local
control bill may have been a result
of their fear or expectation that the
State will this year go Republican.
It must be remembered that although
Chicago is additionally Democratic,
the state has had but three Demo
cratic governors since 1892.
In case of a shift back to the G. O.
P. in November, the Cook County
group, still having control in its home
territory, would still be assured Of
control of the pension fund in its own
balliwick at least.

North's 4-No Trumps went down

that Souths pass required no apol-
