Budget Commission
Says Social Security
Will Be Very High
Estimated North CaroIina's Cost
Per Year May Run as
High as $5,OOO,OOO

North Carolina's annual cost OF
caring for dependent aged persons
and children under the social secur-
ity act might run as high as $5,OO0,-
000-so the Advisory Budget COM
mission at Raleigh was informed last
week.
The commission had before it re-
quests to boost salaries Of State en-
ployes to the 1929 level, on the plea
that the cost of living had advanced
considerably in the last two years
and that some of the best of the
States employees were being lost to
private business (which can pay
them more than we cam" according
to some department executives.
Heads of administrative depart

mates from all State departments
and agencies on appropriations for

Doughton Says NRA
Revival Uncertain

Robert L. Doughton, chairman of
the ways and emans committee of
Congress and representative from
the NINTH North Carolina district,
in Charlotte Wednesday, character
lied the possible revival of NRA as
extremely uncertain during the next
four years.
He said he felt revival of NRA
would depend upon reports from
business.
IF it becomes apparent that sweat
shop practices are being resumed,
that long hours are being enforced
by businesses, and that trade prac-
tees generally demand the regulat-
ing authority of some such govern
ment as the MIRA, then it will prob
ably be forthcoming when Congress
convenes in January" said the 73-
year-old congressman.
Mr.. Doughton addressed about
5000 persons crowded into the ARM
ory-Auditorium Wednesday night
for the opening of the eleventh an
nual Exposition and Food Show. He
said 1885 had been the best business
year since the beginning of the de-
preston and that all indications
point to a continuation of the up
ward trend.

Requests for Citron Recipes

for preserving, or crystalizing, cit

This is one recipe few cook books

Mrs. Mason and the recipe given by
Mrs. Bryan Clinton of Rock Hill.

Roosevelt and Farley Receive
Expression Schools Degrees

President Roosevelt and Postmaster
General Farley today were proud pos
SCISSORS Of new titles-doctor of oratory
and recipient Of the accolade Of the
silver tongue.
The impressive titles were conferred
ON them yesterday by the j. Russell
Young School of Expression, which
held its first convocation last night
at the Mayflower Hotel amid a shower
Of oratorical pyrotechnics.
The J. Russell Young School of Ex-
preston, as every White House cor
respondent knows, Is the hope and
salvation of correspondents who travel
with the President. All too often, in
times past, have they found them
selves being introduced to the Rotary
Club or county fair as lone of the
members of the Presidents party, who
will, we are sure, be glad to give us a
few words about how things are going
In Washington"
Now, such an introduction would be
real challenge to j. Russell Young,
The Stars veteran representative at
the White House. A born master OF
oratory in all its ramifications, "Sena-
tor" Young rises to the occasion often
and well. Many Of his press COL
leagues, however, suffer paralysis OF
the mental refiexes and vocal chords
at the first mention of a speech.
Responded to Colleagues Plea.
In response to the urgent pleading
of his stammering colleagues of the
White House press room, Senator
Young organized the School of Ex-
preston which, by unanimous consent
Of the students, bears his name.
Among other recipients of the ora
torical degrees last night was Walter
Joseph Torhan OF the Chicago
Tribune. who rushed to take the course
after making the mistake OF telling a
meeting of Georgians at Warm
Springs some time ago that he loved
their State because one of his grand
fathers had marched through it with
Sherman during the Civil War. Faux
pas of that sort are seldom made by
Senator" Young's earnest graduates
Young, incidentally. mentioned
Farley's recent faux pas in referring
to Gov. Landon as typical of q
prairies state" thus providing the
G. o. P. with ammunition for the
campaign in the wheat belt. He told
the Postmaster General last night
that he had earned the schools degree
by his recent prairie state oratory.'

Opportunity For d. C. Banks.
Mr.. Fleming, in presenting greetings
from the A. B. A., declared the banks
in Washington have an unusual op-
portunity because of their location
in the Capital, for service to GUS
toners and correspondents and also
for exercising leadership in the bank
ing fraternity, as well as rare oppor-
tunities for setting standards of bank
ing ethics. While the fundamentals OF
sound banking do not change, new
methods of carrying out these prin-
siples are made necessary by changing
eonditions and new laws.
Before presenting his report cover
ing the associations work during the
past IL months, President Doing paid
q glowing tribute to Mr.. Fleming for
&1Ao NO11Gb4 uSO4NC dNUlN2IICS as 1lCs1u Ok
the A. B. A., praising his inauguration
Of regional conferences as the most
successful method ever adopted to
Bring about unanimity of policies and
practices in the banking profession
Speaking of the banking act of
1885, he said that the fundamental
principle underlying the banking act
Of 1885 has been to set up rules for
the control Of money and credit of
sufficient flexibility to apply in emer-
gencies, should they arise and to
operate continually to effect a greater
degree Of economic stability, levelling
out, at least to some extent, the ex-
tremes Of boonls and panics.
Mr.. Doing commended highly the
work of the Washington Chapter,
American Institute of Banking, and
emphasized its value in the training
Of the junior bankers for their future
responsibilities.
Recovery in Washington business
during the last year was clearly pic
tured in the report Of the Commercial
Trade Activities Committee, Norman
Z. Tovson, chairman, and assistant
treasurer, Washington Loan G Trust
Co.
After outlining trade advances for
the entire country, which it estimates
have carried the national average to
approximately three-fourths Of nor
NAL, the committee report quoted
from recent study by DR.. Irwin Bus
sing, Columbia University economist
which showed Washington leading in
the per centage of income tax returns
filed, ownership of radio sets and
pleasure cars, and in the number OF
persons ga1nfully employed.
"A survey of department store sales.
telephone usage, savings deposits and
other economic factors" the report
continued tends to corroborate DR..
Bussing's conclusion that the citizens
OF Washington enjoy a higher level
OF economic well-being, on the average,
than do citizens of other commune
ties
LAS DR.. Bussing pointed out, the
population of the District of Columbia
is insulated to degree against some
OF the tribulations of economic de-
preston due, in part at least, to the
presence and steadying influence of
the Government as an employer" the
report added.
