Editor, The Times-News:
Tonight's letter to the editor
"No Cheers" has just been read
by the writer. How fulsomely has
the author of this expressed her
self, but the writer mentions this
only because it is typical of the
expressions of countless thousands,
almost all of whom will never get
a glimpse of former King Edward
and Mrs. Wallis Simpson, much
less be intimately acquainted with
them, yet they feel fit. to express
themselves in any manner they
choose to take about the above
mentioned individuals and their
affair which is none but their own.
They arc the baying hounds in a
chase and the helpless victims are
these two.
To me, who was brought up to
abhor gossip, and, as child was
carefully shielded from hearing
and participating in such, it seems
particularly unsuitable and undig-
nified that those who can never
aspire to the position, birth, and
breeding of the subjects in ques-
ton can feel such unlimited free
dom to express their opinions of a
situation about which they can
know nothing first hand, only by
hearsay or gossip.

The two-cent postage stamp of which the people
have dreamed for several years must continue to
be the subject of their dreams The three-centers,
like tax which once has been imposed hangs on
like leech and deies all efforts of legislators to
reduce abolish it.
Postmaster General Farley returning from q trip
to Ireland, supposed by reporters to be in char
table mood. Hadn't he won the greatest political
victory of his career? Hadn't he received love let
ters from Senator Carter Glass, man not accus.
toned to writing billetsdoux? Had not John d.
Rockefeller, who opposed him in the national CAM
paign written to commend him for his great speech
the night before the election? Had he not been ac-
claimed throughout the union the cleverest and
most successful organizer in the history OF Ameri
can politics? Had he not been back to the "old
sod" to receive the appreciation of the folk in his
ancestral isle? Then surely his heart must be SYM
pathetic And so the reporters popped the question
about the two-cent stamp. Nothing doing for q
wear, said Mr.. Farley That extra cent of postage
brings the department approximately $75,OOO,O ,OOO
year. To restore the two-cent postage might call
for new tax to make up the deficit.
And so, the people of the nation will continue TO
buy the purple or heliotrope stamps (take your
choice). gaze tenderly at the picture of George
Washington on the stamps face, lick the sticky
sidc and know that they are helping to support the
government with each three-cent purchase. That

WASHING Many time
" Roosevelt makes an impor-
tant move in the field Of interna-
tional affairs, insiders start peek
ing behind scenes for a trace Of
Ambassador William c. ,Bullitt.
Bullitt isn't very popular
among the career men of the For
eign Service, but he still has a
large drag with the president, who
listens to him intently.
Paris is the most important as
well as the most interesting Of the
continental diplomatic posts today.
Transfer of the wealthy and still
rather young Philadelphian to our
embassy there from Moscow, after
he and the Russians had mutually
become tired Of each other, indi-
Gated Roosevelt's respect and lik-
ing for him.
Around the State Department,
Bulhtt is now being credited or
blamed for such recent happen
ings as the appointment of Joseph
E. Davies to the Moscow post and
the presidents order that diplo-
matte and consular officers sub
NIT their designations hereafter
when they wish to marry aliens.
RULLITT, one hears, is con-
- WINGED that a European war
Is perhaps only matter Of
weeks. In time Of war the ma

often becomes embarrassing.

not a single member Of his staff

THE NEW DE AL
IN WASHIN GTON
by RODNEY BUTCHER.

Some OF the careeriSts are sore
at Bullitt, accusing him Of a case
Of "spy fever" Others think his
point we'll taken.
II is inconceivable that RooSe-
welt filled the Moscow post with
out consulting Bullitt, and other
diplomats are saying Bullitt urged
the president to appoint hard
boiled man who wouldn't be SYM
pathetic to the Soviet Union. Also
going the rounds is a yarn that
Roosevelt offered Davies the Mos
COW Job in the belief that he
wouldn't accept anything less than
Paris or London.
THE Davies appointment tends
l. to become more inexplicable If
you get around backstage and
discover that the president was
hardly obligated to this smart
practitioner of corporate and in
ternational law, despite the fact
that Davies had made heavy per-
sonal contributions to the Demo-
cratic campaign and had collected
about 100000 for the party.
Joe had been pretty we'll taken
care of before. He hired out to
lobby for Dictator Trujillo OF the
so-called Dominican Republic,
promising to get Trujillo's foreign
debt, amounting to about $l5,o0o,-
900, adjusted on much easier
terms.
When the State Department
frowned on the proposal, Davies
took il to the White House. Roose-
welt intervened and the deal was
made. The president may have
been fully justified by the facts,
but it certainly was a pretty nice
favor to Joe, who had been prom
ised a fee Of s45o,0o0 from a
country whose annual budget is
only about six millions,
It is true, of course, that Davies
hasn't collected all the fee yet.
First he got 100000, then $780,
900 more, but Trujillo still has the
other $500, 900. It's understood
Davies was also expected to get
Trujillo a new loan. He didn't.

entirely different matter.
The public school system of North Caro-
lima, after making allowances for all OF its
defects and shortcoming. ought always to
be able to make a showing of s. vast con-
tribution to character building and the
building of good citizenship, in addition to
its contribution to economic progress, the
mental improvement of our people, and
routine educational work. 3D.
Responsibility for this development must,
of course be fixed upon the teachers. There
are teachers and teachers. Some OF them
are qualified to achieve the ends we are
discussing; some of them are not. On the
whole, have the public schools of North
Carolina made good in responding to their
obligations as character building agency
and in the development of good citizens?
Some of our most intelligent and best
citizens answer this question negatively.
They point to the increase OF crime, the IN
crease of drunkenness, the increase OF the
gambling mania, and numerous other NOR
al defects, delinquencies and failures, as
ample evidence to support their position
What is the public school system OF
North Carolina, in the years to come, 60
ing to delivef to this State in boys and
girls, trained not merely in the curriculum,
but with their feet planted securely on
foundations of integrity of character, with
strong moral fibre, imbued with the princi-
Piles of civil liberty and national patriot
ism. and, in the first and last analysis, pos
sessing the spiritual qualities essential in
the highest type of manhood and woman
hood.
We believe it to be the obligation and
duty, as we'll as the high privilege Of the
public schools of North Carolina, to make
this contribution to the life of the State.
To attain this end we must have the high
est type of teachers, moved by mighty
purpose to use their own lives and labors
to plant noble aims and ideals and mould
character in the future citizens of North
Carolina.

FORMER U. S. TAX
BOARD MEMBER
TO AID HOPS0N
C. M. TrammeII Attempts
to Save $4O,OOO,OO0
for A. G. & E.
By United Press


WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Charles
M. Trammell, until two weeks ago a
member of the United States board
of tax appeals, has began tracing
financial dealings of Howard c.
Hopson in an attempt to save the
utilities magnate and his Associated
Gas and Electric Co. $4,000 900 in
claims made by the government.
The claims, protested in petitions
filed by the company and its lac
subsidiaries, are for alleged income
tax and excess profits tax de-
f1ciencies for the years 1929 through
1888.
Trammell, one of three A. G. & E.
lawyers, is former Florida Judge.
He was appointed to the tax board
when it was organized in 1924 and
reappointed in 1926.
Claim Second Largest
His resignation came upon con-
clusion of hearings in the govern
ment's case against Andrew w.
Mellon, in which the commissioner
of internal revenue sought $3,075, 1O3
from the former Secretary of the
Treasury.
The A. c.. & E. claim is the Sec
ond largest filed by the government
since the boards creation. The
largest was against Tex-Pan Oil Co.
for S44,000,000. The board allowed
$5,75O,OOO.
Tax claims against A. G. & E.
were first instituted in 1919. A pay
ment of $6125 was made after legal
dispute. An assessment in 1920 was
dismissed and one of, s23,392 was
settled for $15,391. This was for
1921 tax deficiencies.
Two claims for 1927 and 1928
taxes totaling $1,819,648, are pend
ing.
Other Claims Filed
A first hint of the present suit
was given when the government
filed jeopardy assessments against
the company on Dec. Is. These
totaled $50 1921 Another assess
ment to protect government inter-
ests and totaling $3,898,030 accom-
panied this.
These were duplicated Monday
and Tuesday in Wilmington, Del,
and Utica, N. Y, as the government
sought to protect itself in all re-
gions where the utility operated.
Two days after the first jeopardy
assessments were filed similar claims
against Howard G. Hopson person.
ally and against the company's vice
president, John I. Mango, were
levied. They totaled $1,521 ,604 and
1921 ,545, respectively.
