Would Select Nominee for

If Warren Does Resign;
Many Well Known Men

oY %. - 0ASsA EH HI
Raleigh, July 13.-Who will succeed
Representative Lindsay c. Warren in
Congress from the first congressional
district, if the post of comptroller gen
eral of the United States is offered
to Warren as present reports indi-
cate, and if he accepts the appoint
:nent?
This question is being heard here
today more frequently than any other
as political circles speculate On the
most recent political development
since the close of the gubernatorial
campaign. The belief seems to be that
Warren will be offered the post of
comptroller general, as has been in
dictated in recent dispatches from
Washington; also that he will I'M
doubtedly accept the appointment,
which is for term of Is years and
which carries with it salary of $15,-
0G0 a year, amounting to a guaranteed
income of $225,000 for the next Is
years. Warren's many friends here be-
lieve he would be exceedingly unwise
to refuse the Offer if it is made, both
because of the salary attached to it
and the tremendous Importance OIL the
post. For the comptroller general is
the only Federal official who can say
mo" to the President of the United
States, since he holds absolute power
over the expenditure of all Federal
money.
Committee Would Select.
Since the primary has already been
held and since Warren has been re-
nominated for Congress without OPP
position, the first district executive
committee would select the nominee
when and if Warren resigns from Con
gress and it becomes necessary to
have new nominee in the first dis
trict, it is pointed out. The law pro-
vides that where a vacancy occurs be-
tween a primary and the general cleo
ton, that the district executive COM
mittee shall select the nominee and
that no special primary shall be call
cd.
But who will the executive commit
tee select? And will it select a NOM
inee from Beaufort county or some
other county south of the Chowan
river, or will it select the new NOM
inee from some Of the counties north
of the river? It is pointed out that
none of the counties north of the
river has had representative in Con-
gress for at least 40 years and that
Beaufort county has had the repre-
sentative for most of that time. So
many think the committee will prob
ably go into some other county TO
find a candidate to succeed Warren,
if and when he resigns to accept a

Morehead City, July 13-An appro-
priation of from $4,000 to 100000 a

North Carolina to attract more tour
list travel and to seek new industries
was recommended today by Director
Bruce Etheridge, of the Department
of Conservation and Development, in
making his annual report to the
Board of Conservation and Develop
merit in its annual summer session
heer today. He urged that the board
ADOPT his recommendation and ask
the 1887 General Assembly for an ap-
preparation of not less than $4,000 a
year and if possible of 100000 a year
so that North Carolina may cash in
to better advantage on the nations
tourni.t crop.
Economic conditions in the nation
as a whole and in this State are
greatly improved over a few years
ego and tourists by the millions are
seeking vacation spots with definite
natural attractions" Etheridge said.
North Carolina is fortunate in hav-
ing the resources that appeal to most
of these. if we can tell them about the
state and it's advantages. so far we
have failed to tell the world about
North Carolina as it should be told
with the result that other states, with
large advertising appropriations that
has enabled them to reach into every
state in the union, has been ettging
the cream of the tourist business
while we have had to get along with

"A relatively small appropriation
from the General Assembly, however
will enable us to capture a very large
portion of the tourist business which
we are now missing, and. firmly be

investments we could make. The re-
turns on such an investment, 1 be-

Richmond, Va, July 13.-(AP)-
Henry M. Taylor, Federal-State agri-
cultural statistician, estimated today

age has increased eight percent this
year, as compared with 1885, produc-

Drought In

Week End Showers
Do Little To Break
Grip of Destructive
Heat Wave

New Orleans, La, July 10 (AP)-
Weekend showers did little to break
the heat waves grip on the sun-bak-
ed South.
Extensive sectors received rainfall
measuring in some places an inch, but
the respite from the scOrching tenn
peratures was short-lived.
Crops generally were benefited,
however. Agricultural experts said
it was just the proper medicine"
for young corn planted within the
past few days to replace corn burned
up by the drought.
Truck crops were revived and the
precipitation meant helping hand
to cotton.
Some sections were visited by Sc
we're thunder and electrical storms,
which brought death to three persons
in Georgia and Mississippi.

SAYS PUBLIC PAYS
FOR FDR CAMPAIGN
Government Officials Leave
Business to Insubordi-

BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, July 13.-When Chair
man Augustine Lonergan's senatorial
committee on investigation of cam
paign methods gets into action, one of
1the things which Republicans are
saying ought to be inquired into is the
Democratic system of recruiting ora
tors on the administration side in
the already incipient political fight
The speakers bureau of the Demo-
cratic notional committee boasts that
it has 1000 spellbinders enlisted to
plead the New Deals cause.
The C. o. P. argument is that the
1000 will be Democratic officeholders
almost to a man-the President, the
cabinet members, a battery OF sena-
tors, a goodly force of representatives,
a dozen or so of governors probably.
Thus far, O. k; all that is customary.
But there are nothing like 1000 of
such moguls.
G. o. p. PROTEST
The Republicans surmise that the
New Deal committee must have draft
ed lesser lights wholesale to pad it's
list-assistant secretaries, under sec
letaries, dc partmental attorneys, di-
visional chiefs and many other CLASH
tications.
The government, say the G. o. P
critics. evidently is to be run until
next November by a staff of petty
clerks and office boys while upper
official tours the country, salaried by
the public, preaching New Dealism
This, assert the Republicans, is a
prospective situation which the Loner
gan committee ought to look into.
The committee, however, seems in
clined to concern itself only with &C
