sailfish and barracuda from the yacht
Potomac somewhere in the vicinity of
the Dry Tortugas Islands, southwest

He had fair luck on his first day cut
of Miami yesterday. Although the
single report received by radio at tenn

said the President caught the first fish

entire party is believed to have had a
good afternoon in the small whale
boats.
The weather man promised fair
weather for the second day of a weeks
fishing cruise on which the Chief Ex-
ecutive hopes to recover the strength
lost during his recent illness.

Surplus of State
Might Be z Million
(Contmued from Page One.)

900 and $500, 900 when this fiscal year
ends July 1.
If the surplus is anywhere near as
much as $7,Qb0, O0O-and indications
are it will amount to about that in
stead of the $4,OO0,O0O estimated when
the General Assembly was here-it
means that no money will have to be
diverted from the highway fund to
the general fund during the next
biennium. And that is what is maxi
ing both the governor and Waynick
smile. For under the terms of the new
revenue and appropriations act, not a
single penny of highway revenue can
be diverted into the general fund I'M
til every penny of general fund re-
venue and every dollar of the surplus
have been exhausted.
This means then, the governor
points out, that it will be unnecessary
to divert any money whatever from
the highway fund the first year and
probably none the second year, thus
leaving some $4,2O0OOO more of high
way revenue available for highway
maintenance and construction than
had been anticipated.

oaign manager for Governor Hoey,

paign manager for Governor Hoey,
and others.
No one has any idea as yet as to
whom Governor Hoey will appoint
chairman of this, board or who will
be the two part-time members, since
all observers here agree that Cover
nor Hoey has remained as mum as
an oyster with regard to his forth
coming appointments. But it is known
that more Endorsements have been re-
ceived for Webb Williams than for
any other candidate and that many
of these are said to he very strong. A
good many observers still believe Will
liams is at the top of the list among
those being considered and that if he
is not appointed chairman he will at
least be named one of the two part
time members of the board-at $25 a.
day and expenses when the board is
in session.
The biggest thing in the way of
Williams appointment is regarded as
being geography and the fact that he
is from the Albemarle section from
which former Governor j. c. B. En-
ringhaus selected so many of his ap-
pointees. If Williams was from. the
Piedmont or the western part of the
State there would be little doubt as
to his getting the craftsmanship of the
new State ABC board, most observers
here agree.
Nor has the campaign for the ap-
pointment of "Pete" Murphy, of Sails
bury, as chairman of the new ABC
board clicked quite right While
pete" is liked by every one who
knows him, is regarded as one of the
ablest parliamentarians in the State
and has served in more sessions of
the General Assembly than any other
person in the State, the reports are
that he has very little chance of be-
ing named chairman of the board, or
even a member. The main objection
to "Pete" seems to be that he is too
openly in sympathy with the vets and
hence would not be sufficiently inter
ested in the control features of the
new liquor law.
