LOUD SPEAKERS
FOR CANDIDATES
E3INC USED BY THOSE ASPIR-
ING FOR GOVERNOR
SHIP OF FLORIDA
(By Associated PressD


TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Feb. 8.
1t looks like a banner year for
the sound-wagon business in Flor
ida politics.
At least three candidates for
governor are carrying their
"sound-wagons" around with
them in their campaign trips. In
addition to supplying amplifica-
ton for the candidates words,
the sound equipment is available
for musical selections at political
picnics.
81 took it for granted that all
the fellows would have sound
wagons, and so I had one fixed
up for myself" was the way one
candidate explained the mounting
of loudspeakers on top of his
automobile.
The late Huey Long of Louisi-
ana brought the sound-wagon into
popular use in political campaign
ing. He used it successfully in
his own campaigns, and also used
it in helping Mrs. Hattie Cara
way get elected in Arkansas.

F. D. R. Democrats Wonder
Who'd Go On Smiths Walk
STITCH I'm TIME
SAVES CHANCELLOR

LONDON, Feb. 3.-At the
climax of Lord de Clifferd's
Granddaughter trial in the
house of lords, England's be-
wigged lord chancellor had
to break the long white rod
of office to signify the trial
was over.
Lord Hailsham, present
chancellor, is q powerful man,
and probably would have had
little trouble in breaking the
wand. But he remembered
the denouement of the trial
in 1901 of Earl Russell for
bigamous marriage with an
American girl at Reno, New.
On that occasion the d.
minutive Lord Halsbury
struggled desperately with
his wand and broke IL only
after several furious at
tempts.
Lord Hailsham took pre-
cautions. Before the trial, he
had his wand sawed in half.

BASEBALL ASSURED
AT HIGH SCHOOL
Athletic Authorities Make
Statement; More Funds
Are Needed for Team

Henderson high school will have
baseball this season, according to an
announcement made today by athletic
authorities at the local school. The
students, candidates for the team and
Interested friends made the season
possible.
Athletic authorities at the school
made the following statement today
concerning the coming season.
although it will be necessary to
raise a few more dollars to have the
goal which the athletic association
set out to get in order to finance a
baseball club, prospects were very
encouraging Friday afternoon. And
while the campaign will last through
Wednesday of this week in order to
collect the pledges for the sale of sea-
son tickets and the sale of addition
al season tickets, Coach Crosby has
announced the first practice for the
squad for Monday afternoon at Lea
que Park.
The following men and firms were
quite responsive in purchasing season
tickets when the boys canvassed them
on this sale of them and we wish
to express of appreciation of their
support: Henry T. Powell, Mayor 1.
B. Watkins, w. c. Gates, Vance Coal
and Lumber Company, F'lynn's Dept.
Store, Miles Drug Store, Leggett's
Dept. Store, and Motor Sales Com
pany. Due to the eight months SEES
sion for the last few years baseball
has been pretty much on the decline;
but since our term this spring will run
through June 5 we shall have time
to complete schedule of at least
twelve games. Coach Crosby thinks
that prospects for a good team are
bright even though Henderson did not
have a club last year. The schedule
has not been completed, due to the
uncertainty of having a team until
now, but will be published within the
next few days.

LOSSES IN FLOODS
TO Be PERMANENT
Pittsburgh and Other Sec
tons Will Recover but
Damage Is Done
BY LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer


Now commentators are saying that
the flood losses will be made up in in
creased orders for goods and bridge
and road requirements, etc.
AS one who has been through many
floods. this writer begs leave to dis
agree. A flood loss is total loss.
Some industries may benefit but the
total amount of money expended for
all industries will not be equivalent
to the property and wage loss sus-
tanned
There may be sales. there may be
orders. there may be relief work.
there may be a great deal OF money
flowing into afflicted regions-but all
of that comes out of somebody's peck
cts. In other words, such money is
not made" wealth. 1t is the same
kind of wealth" that creates the
semblance of prosperity during wars
Cor in preparation for wars) when
governments spend huge sums for
ornaments.
Worst of all, flood losses bear hea-
West on the small householder, the
small merchant He usually has no
sales. no new orders. He has not the
capital to begin all over again. And II
probably is unconstitutional for the
government to set him on his feet
again. Billions for relief but not one
cent for reconstructive purposes.
DISPERSE INDUSTRY?
For the good of the country and
for the good of workers as we'll as
the entire population. would it not be
wise to diffuse industry?
Is it not economically wasteful and
sometimes disastrous to have huge in
dustries segregated in large centers
such as Pittsburgh?
River valleys are tempting sites for
industries Coal and oil can be trans
ported easily; and finished products
can be shipped from mills with
minimum of effort.
But congested valleys of streams
that rise in mountains are dangerous.
Every obstruction, every narrowing OF
channel heightens the risk as at
Pittsburgh. There, the rivers are hem
med in to such an extent that they
seek an outlet through the center of
the city itself in floods such as the
recent one.
Floods are inevitable. Their occur
renee may be lessened by tremendous
efforts over a long period of years,
but their inevitability must be accept
ed
Then, why not diffuse the indus
tries of Pittsburgh? Why build more
plants there? Why not begin new
communities, less susceptible to in
evitable damage
As one who admires the grandeur
of Pittsburgh, this writer neverthe-
less is compelled to say that concen-
traticn of vast industries in those
river valleys is foolhardy
And concentration of hundreds of
thousands of workers in the virtual
tenements of large cities is even a
worse catastrophe to humanity than
these spectacular floods.

PWA WOOD EXPERT WILL
BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN

Washington, March 28.-(AP)-Gov-
ernor Harold Hoffman of New Jersey
has asked Secretary Ickes to permit
Arch w. Loney, public works wood
tester, to continue his Investigations
in the Lindbergh case.
Disclosing this today, the PWA adj
ministrator said Loney would be given
leave if he applied for it.
Loney, who has expressed belief
that Rail 16 of the kidnap ladder was

Bruno Richard Hauptmann's Bronx
home, accompanied Hoffman to the
Hauptmann house Thursday. He sug-
gested further 30-day reprieve for

Tn his reply to Hoffman, Ickes
reiterated that the permission given
Ioney to testify in the trial still held,
hit that Loneys participation in the
case must necessarily be strictly in a
personal and private capacity.

GRAHAM PICTURES
CHANGE IN RULING
Cubernatorial Candidate
Speaks to Civic Clubs
In Chapel Hill

Chanel Hill, March 28-"Today one
out of every seven Of our citizens Is
on the government payroll.
That fact alone, Lieut.-Gov. A. II.
Graham, of ~Hillsboro, gubernatorlal
candidate, said in an address mere
last night illustrates the vital way
in which government now affects the
lives of all our citizens.
1T behooves us, therefore," he said.
ito give serious thought to where we
are going. The biggest business in
North Carolina today" he said, lis
our own State government. In 1920
the State budget was only seven mil
lions. Today it is seventy millions in
Guiding federal appropriations to the
State funds. 1t must be remembered
of course, that since 1920 the state
has taken over the schools and roads"
Mr.. Graham was the principal
speaker at a joint meeting at the
Carolina Inn of three civic organiza-
tions, the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs
of Chapel Hill and the Lions Club of
Hillsboro Some rs wore present,
among thea .5.lent Frank P. Ora
ham, an honorary member of XII
wants.
r. NJ. Grammar, past lieutenant
governor of Kiwanis, was POSTMASTER.
The Lieutenant-Govern was intro
duced by Bonner Sawyer of the Hills
boro Lions.
Stressing the view that in govern
ment the whole country is going
through a period of unusual transit
ton, Mr.. Graham asserted that I'VE
have adopted changes that 10 years
ago not two percent of US would have
thought possible, and the chances are
that 10 years hence we will have
adopted further measures that are
Just as radical.
Government today comes closer to
our lives than ever before. 1t is
long cry from pioneer days when it
was a case of every man for himself
and devil take the hindmOSt." We
have given up many of our individual
liberties for the benefit of our neigh
bors. We are living in a day of coope-
ration which requires the most intel
ligent solution of our problems. We
are pulling out of the depression, but
our economic conditions are still not
satisfactory. We still have many men
and women who would go to work if
they had the opportunity.
The program was arranged by
committee composed of E. j. Wood

Lions; and Judge Jim Phipps, Johnnie

WILLIAMSON TO TRY
FOR OLYMPIC TEAM

Chapel Hill, March 28-The state
of North Carolina may have one of
its sons on the American Olympic
track and field team this summer.
This likely contestant whose home is
in High Point, is Harry Williamson,
star middle distance runner for the
University of North Carolina. He said
today he was working for a place on
the Olympic outfit.
There existed some doubt as to
whether Williamson would continue
his work throughout the spring. But
on his recent Northern trip he turned
in two of the best performances of
his career. These runs made up Har-
rvs mind about the Olympics. He is
working out daily here and plans to
participate in most of the Relays
throughout the nation this spring.
