Accelerated Roads

Raleigh-The State Highway ano
Public Works commission have
closed for 80 days every bituminous
surface-treated highway in North
Carolina to all truck traffic in ex-
cess of five tons gross a vehicle.
The order, which affects $500
miles of highway, was unprece-
dented in the States road history.
1t resulted from recent weather
conditions that have done an esti-
mated 100000 damage to the
roads and at the same time cut
gasoline revenue by 100000.
"The sub-base of practically all
surface-treated highways has been
so softened as to render heavy
traffic thereon destructive of said
roads," the commission stated in
a brief preamble to its order.
The ordinance, violation of
which is a misdemeanor under
State law, is effective on the roads
as soon as signs r posted ordering
heavy traffic off. 1t does not ap-
ply to buses.

By Senate

Washington-The Senate passed
an appropriation bill carrying 2
billion eight hundred and eighty
nine million seven hundred and
fifty-one thousand nine hundred
and five dollars, including l billion
seven hundred and thirty million
dollars to pay the bonus, 440 mil

seven hundred and fifty-one thous-
and nine hundred and five dollars to
run the independent offices of the
Government in the next fiscal year.
Inclusion of the farm appropria-
ton was carried out so quickly
that it passed almost unnoticed.
Senator Byrnes (Democrat) Of
South Carolina, proposed the
amendment Immediately after he
had won approval OF the bonus aP-
preparation.
The bill now goes back to the
House for approval of the bonus
and farm amendments and a few
other minor changes. Besides a flat
appropriation of 44o million dollars
for the farm program, the Byrnes
amendment reappropriated so mil

So Saturday night the intruders
made their third visit. They got
the paddock off as usual but found
the bar too annoying. Maddened
perhaps, they went around back and

Uncle Sam Is
Against Plan
Unwilling to Agree to
Smaller Battleships

London-The United States is
unwilling to agree to smaller battle
ships until experimental building
has shown how to make such ships
safe from aerial as we'll as subma-
rine attacks, an American spokes-
man at the four-power naval con-
ference said.
This explanation of American OBJ
jections to a French proposal to
shave the maximum battleship
tonnage below $4,000 tons dispell-
ed a previous misconception that
Washington favored bigger battle
ships because of great distances in
the Pacific and a scarcity of re-
fueling bases.
The spokesman said experiment
tation may show hat lighter tom
mage can be safely accepted and
if so, the United States might be
willing to reduce its present de-
mands.
At American headquarters it was
agreed that political uncertainty is
holding up the progress of the con-
ference.
IA 35,ooo-ton ship, as big as it
is, would look like a baby COM
pared to what might be built if
there is no agreement" the spokes-
man asserted.
