S|SS0N SILENT
ON RED RIDER
VOTE PLAN
Compromise on Repeal
Now Urged to Get
House Action

Disappointed over the unfortu-
nate circumstances which pre-
vented House consideration of the
bill yesterday as scheduled, leaders
of the battle to repeal the red
rider" conferred today to deter
mine what course they can map to
bring about a vote on the measure
before adjournment.
Two alternatives are available.
One is that Congress remain in
session through June 8, the next
District day, which would of itself
afford opportunity to get the bill
before the House. The other is to
amend the bill so as to make it less
restrictive and offer that to the
opponents Of repeal as a COM
promise if the latter will allow it
to come up under unanimous con-
sent during next week.
SissOn to Garry On
Representative Fred SiSSon CD
of New York, author of the repeal
bill, emphatically declared today
that he has not given up the fight
for enactment of the measure dur
ing this session.
However, he is not prepared to
reveal what the course of his at
tack will be.
Neither the leadership Of the
House nor the proponents of the
repeal bill are welded entirely to
the idea that the Congress will ad-
journ June 6, as has been pre-
dicted.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
House leaders are willing to use
every effort to get the bill through
the House if compromise can be
reached. One of the leaders said:
If the proponents of the bill
will agree to amend it so as to
remedy the existing situation
where the teachers have to sign
an oath each pay day before
getting their checks and so as
to eliminate the word 'advO-
cate I think that would be
satisfactory and the bill might
be rushed through the House
next week.
"If the proponents feel. how
ever, that nothing will satisfy
them but outright repeal Of
the rider, then 1 believe it is
doubtful that, even if the bill
is called up, it will win enough
votes to pass it,"
PUSH SENATE BILL
Whether or not such a propo-
sition would be acceptable to the
bloc that sponsored the rider is
not known, but if the House lead
ers would lend their support to
| the proposal with the approval
of the Sisson hackers it is more
than likely that it would receive
House approval.
Meanwhile, Senator David I.
Walsh CD of Massachusetts,,
chairman Of the Senate Commit
tee on Education and Labor,
which approved the repeal bill
about 10 days ago. announced
that he will report the measure
to the Senate Immediately and
ask that it be considered this
week. He said he did not know
specifically what day it would be.
It is believed that if the Sen
ate should act favorably on the
bill it would strengthen the posi-
ton of the Sisson bill advocates
in the House.

In The Sir Walter Hotel.

BY j. c. BA SkERVILK
Raleigh, May 1.-Willard l.. Dowell
secretary of the North Carolina Mer-
chants Association, who is one of the
four candidates for State auditor
merely smiles at the claims of his OBJ
ponents that he is already out of the
race and maintains that he will fool
them all when the votes are counted
the night of June 6. The other three
candidates for the nomination for
State auditor are Baxter Durham. the
incumbent: George Ross Pou and
Charles w. Miller.
II know that both Pou and Miller
have been doing more travelling than
I have and that Durham has been
writing more letters than any of u.s.
but I am confident that when the
votes are counted will have the most
votes" Dowell said today "While
most of the politicians may be for Pou
or Durham, I am confident that the
rank and file of the people are going
to vote for me.
II was in Greensboro the other day,
called on Sc different people, none of
them merchants, and asked them to
support me. Of these Sc persons, 81
told me they would support me, since
only three told me they were for Pou
and only two for Durham. I did not
find one who was going to vote for
Miller.
"The people want a new DEAF in the
State auditors office and have al
ready decided they do not want Dur

years, or Pou, who was on the State

Dowell argues that he has not been
able to do much active campaigning
so far because of his duties as secre-
tary of the State Merchants ssocia-

now until June he intends to devote
most of his time to his campaign. He

OTHER OPINION
Permanent Improvements

IRichmond PalladiumI

Many Indiana cities and towns
seemingly have proposed public i'm
provements of a permanent type for
the WPA projects which the Fed
eral government is partly financing.
The State wPA Office reports 80
per cent of the program consisted
of the following four types: Roads
and streets; public buildings; parks
and Fairgrounds; water systems,
drainage, sewage, conservation and
flood control.
The statement of the WPA ofdce
says the actual proportions of these
projects to the total was 91.79 per
cent, in comparison with a national
average of 82.1 per cent.
These projects will call for ex-
penditures amounting to s37 1887 ,02!
OF the $50 projects listed under
these four classifications, 287 are
for water supply, sanitation, and
sewer systems, drainage and flood
control, and the amount allotted is
$8.845.s48. This sum is about II pei
cent Of the funds allotted for In.

PRIvATION AND PROGRESS

COMEBODY got his name printed in the news
- papers the other day by observing that govern
ment relief sociologically unsound because it
removes from the minds of the needy the fear of
privation-which fear, he said, has always been
mans prime motivation to work and produce wealth
We recall that statement, but strangely rot the
name Of the authorize transit gloria-as we read
the story of Gauley Bridge, w. Va, the STORY of
village of men condemned to die
Some 1000 men, the story relates, worked at dig
ging tunnel through mountain to divert water
from river on the other side for the purpose of
generating cheap electricity for the plants of the
Union Carbide and Carbon Co. Some 400 or 500 of
these died from disease called silicosis. Several
hundred more men residing in this village, once
bury laborers are today mere walking skeletons
with the death sentence imprinted on their
emaciated bodies.
The affction derives it's name from the quartz
dust which the men inhaled they drilled their
way with pneumatic hammers through rich silica
deposit in the heart of the mountain.
And it seems that the primal motive force to
which the aforementioned unnamed philosopher
referred-the fear of privation--was what drove
those men back to work in the tunnel even after
they had learned it meant certain death. We quote
from story written by Gilbert Love, special
spondent of this newspaper:
Men began to develop lung trouble about a year
after the tunnel was started. Their trouble was
variously diagnosed as pneumonia, bronchitis and
tuberculosis When the malady became widespread
the men began calling it 'tunnelitis About 10 died
that first winter DR.. Hairless dhe village doctor
SAID
HE warned many of the men that to go back
into the tunnel meant death, but few paid heed
Work scarce.
Common laborers paid as low as 20 to Is
cents all hour, for 10-hour day."
This quotation seems pertinent comment on
fear as contributor to the welfare and happiness Of
the human family.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

"DoPGUN license law" is the derisive name given
to the Indiana drivers license law under which
anybody who has SO cents may obtain permit 10
drive.
Suppose a holder of one of these licenses removed
to one of number of other states Is his license
good? Not at ALL He must report to the state police
within specified time have his sight, hearing
knowledge of the state law and driving ability tested
There are many cases record in which the holder
Of an Indiana operators license told to come
again after he had mastered the essentials.
The operators permit system can be sensibly
modified by granting a learners license. With that
begnner-a young person for example-may drive
while accompanied by regularly licensed operator.
Then comes the examination for the permanent per-
nit.
The next General Assembly should reconsider the
whole question of drivers licenses and the desir-
ability of compulsory inspection. The latter
would mean hardship to large number of owners
for the time being, but it would mean reduction
in the number of highway deaths. And thai Is the
main thing.

Santo Domingo was founded only four years after

BEQUEATHING THE EARTH

Conserving the soil to safeguard future genera
- tons now appears to be the central objective
around which the Roosevelt Administration will
build farm program to take place of the out
lawed AAA.
Soil conservation was only by-product of the
AAA, which concerned itself primarily with curtail-
ing acreage of cash crops to cut down SURPRISES,
tabish profitable price levels and promote the i'm
mediate welfare of this generation.
But to our way of thinking it was very impor-
tant by-product. For the acres taken out of the
growing of so-depetng cash crops were turned over
to the growing of soil-buildng legumes soibinding
grasses, soil-protecting wood lots-whch. together
with improved technique in crop rotation and ero-
sion control have husbanded priceless resource
against that future when maximum efficiency in
tlling every inch of it will necessary to feed and
clothe the people.
OF course, no can guarantee that the soil
conservation approach to the farm problem will be
any more constitutional than the production control
approach. But it is not unreasonable to hope that
even Supreme Court justices will recognize that a
dust bowl be kept within the confines of state
lines
Indeed, if We have repetition of the dust storms
of summer before last, of the powdery topsoil

phenomenon of the soil of Indiana washing down the
