LOCAL, COURT CRIER
BILL ALSO PASSED

RALEIGH, Feb. 26.-The re-
viscd revenue bill was passed on
first reading by oral vote in tho
lower house yesterday, and the
measure, is expected to be rati-
fed on third reading on Saturday
morning. Concurrence Of the
house i'm revisions made by the

believed that the bill would have

Meanwhile, the senate continu-

atoms bill, already approved by
the house, and calling for record
expenditures of about $l45,OOO,-

At a session last night the SEN
ate considered bills to issue ST.
100000 in bonds for permanent
improvements at state institutions
and to appropriate $l55, 900 for
dormitory' at the n. c. State
college for negroes at Durham.
AS approved by the house, the
revenue bill carries the three per
cent general sales tax, with the
tax included on meals served in
hotels ard restaurants. This
amendment was added in the sen,
ate, and senate finance leaders
said that amendments added in
the upper body had decreased the
general fund deficit by $3OO,O00
A fight against the tax on meals
was unsuccessfully led by Repre-
sentatives Kinney, of Transylva,

the amendment was characterized
as double taxation and "flaunt'

Educational Campaign Re-

Launched

A campaign of public education
against the conspiracy of silence"
that exists with reference to syph-
Ills was started by the boys and
girls committee of the kiwanis
club yesterday when DR.. J. l..
Ward of Asheville addressed the
club on the increasing prevalence
and the ravages of the disease.
"To contact syphilis is not nee
essarily evidence of immoral prac-

the individual" DIR. Ward said,
and added:
IF the public does not soon be-
gin to call a spade a spade and
make strenuous efforts to stamp
out the disease, the time may soon
come when homes having syphi-
itic inmates may be placarded the
same as those having smallpox,
diphtheria and other contagious
and communicable diseases"
DIR. Ward was introduced by
DR.. Fred o. Trotter, committee
chairman, who announced that the
committee will from time to time
present discussions and distribute
literature intended TO arouse TIT,
public to the dangers of venereal
diseases.
In beginning his address, Dr.
Ward said the United States Is
far behind many other countries
in combating syphilis, and point
cd out that while the Scandina'

new cases last year, there were IN
the United States official records
of a half million new cases.

LABOR SITUATION
GROWS LESS TENSE
By UNITED PRESS

Peaceful evacuation of the
Hugh Douglas Aircraft corpora
ton plant in Santa Monies, Calf,
late Thursday afternoon left only
two major sit. down strikes IN eff
feet throughout the nation today,
as tension eased along the labor
front when other controversies
were averted or ended.
Six hundred strikers in the air
craft plant left the company's
property quietly after previously
threatening to set fire to the plant
with its $24,000,000 worth Of un-
finished government and CONNER
cial planes. Four hundred strikers
were arrested for trespassing.
Agreement Of Chrysler corpora
ton to hold collective bargaining
conferences with the United Auto
mobile workers removed the pos
sibility of a strike that might in.
volve between $4,000 and $4,000
men.
Assistant Secretary of Labor
Edward F. McGrady said the best
figures obtainable" showed that
$4,000 persons were on strike IN
six great industries. He said there
was nothing abnormal in the
present situation"
The two major strikes:
