Raleigh, Feb. 21.--Talk of special
session Of the General Assembly has
bobbed up here again as result Of
the tobacco situation and the talk of
a pact between the tobacco produc-
ing states to limit the acreage. The
fact that Governor ]. G. 3. Ehring-
hauS has announced that he and At
torney General A. A. f. Seawcll will
attend the conference called in Wash
ington for Tuesday, February 25, call
cd by Governor George Peery, of Vir-
ginia and to which the governors Of
the six other principal tobacco grow
ing states have been invited, at which
the state pact plan will bed iscussed,
is regarded already as being quite sig
nificant. For if al majority of the 9TH
err tobacco growing states pass spe-
cial legislation to limit tobacco pro-
duction. Governor Ehringhaus cannot
help but fall in line and call a special
session without losing the good will
and support of the largest group in
the State which has stood by during
the past three years-the tobacco far
understanding to the opinion Of
many here.
Too Early To Talk.
Governor Ehringhaus takes the pos
ition now that it is too early to talk
about a special session since it is not
yet known what the other tobacco
growing states can do or will do, and

the department had counted on get

Wait February Figures
There will be no way Of knowing
how much the severe winter weather
so far i'm February has reduced re-
tail sales this month until returns
start coming in after March 10. But
Department of Revenue officials are
fearful that the February collections
will also be materially affected by
the weather. They are expecting a
decided upward turn in buying, how
ever, when the weather does begin to
open up and country roads again

A spokesman for Berlin in d1plo-

among the points the two dictators

possibility of an Italian withdrawal
from the Lacarno Pact if an oil sane

Another point believed to be under

Everybody wanted to get an inter

time "investors" paid over $500

Speculation hit it's peak in 1929. The
market crash knocked radio sales in
to a cooked hat. Depression came
quicker than it did in most industries.
Because the radio business was still
over-crowded in 1929, competition was
extremely bitter. In a desperate effort
to maintain sales volume, price-cut~

for three or four years most manu-
facturers lost money by the millions.

Price cutting, however, turned out
