Into Many Cities of State

is made to locate the exposition in
any one particular place, since each
section or city will think it has the
ideal spot for such an exposition and
will be sure to fight any. proposal to
locate.n anywhere else. AS a result,
regular interaectional Kilkenny cat
fight is expected to result just as
soon as any definite proposal to 10
cate the exposition in one particular
spot is made.
It is generally conceded already
that if bill should be offered to To-
cate the exposition in Asheville, for
instance, that an immediate howl
would arise from Charlotte, Green's
boro, Winstont Salem, Raleigh, Will
mington, Manteo and other places,
each claiming that it should be located
there, AM the General Assembly
would at once become the scene of as
bitter a sectional fight as it has ever
witnessed. The outcome would prob
ably be no exposition at all, since it
would be impossible to get majority
for any one locality--and there would
be no funds.
But the All-North Carolina EXPOSE
ton would continue by progressive
stages from Asheville to Henderson
vile, then on to Charlotte, High Point
Greensboro, then up to Winston
Salem, on to Raleigh, Wilmington,
Morehead City, Manteo and Elizabeth
City, with a more or less miniature
exposition in each of these places fea-
turing the products, resources and
activities of the territory Immediately
surrounding them would obviate most
! if not all, of the objections being
voiced to one locality exposition, it is
/ pointed out. Each of the cities and
localities on the exposition Circuit"
could prepare exhibits, programs,
pageants and entertainment features
which would play up their particular
section and make it appear attractive
to the thousands of visitors who
would come to this "See All North
Carolina" Exposition.
1t is believed that the various travel
bureaus, bus companies, railroads and
even steamship companies would CO
operate in providing special round
trip tickets and tours which would in
clude and cover the entire State while
hundreds of thousands of persons
would come in their own cars and
spend anywhere from week to a
month or more learning about North
Carolina and why it is the finest State
in the country in which to live, play
or work. With the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park already at
tracing almost 100000 visitors a
year, with Roanoke Island and the
States beaches and seashore resorts
attracting other thousands, there is no
telling how many hundreds of thou
sands of people would come to North
carolina if such an exposition should
be offered them, it is maintained

The Holy Fathers suffering was
said to be greatest in his left leg

The pontiff was described as bear

attendants quoted him as saying:

The 7e-year-old Holy Father re-

replace the former one.
Former King Alfonso Of Spain
called at the Vatican where he was
received by Cardinal Pacelli, papal
secretary of state Alfonso expressed
hope for the pontiff's recovery.
Increased doses of sedatives were
administered to ease the suffering in
his legs and enforce sleep during the
restless night, attendants said.
The Holy Father heard mass from
his bed and then set about the cur

$4,000 INAUGURAL
DEFICIT EXPECTED
Guaranty Fund Donors Yet
to Learn Definite Fig
ures, However.

Washington business men and
others who contributed to the guar
anty fund to assure payment Of costs
of the inaugural celebration, stand to
lose as much as $4,000, according to
one unofficial estimate today.
Inaugural Committee officials said
they had no way of knowing what the
outcome would be, since they could
not yet calculate total receipts against
total expenses. For this reason. they
declined to make any estimate.
1872 Contribute s132,o4o.
There were 1872 persons who con-
trihuted $4,000 to the guaranty
fund, which apparently is well in ex-
cess of estimated expenses for con-
struction OF stands and all other costs.
In one unofficial source, It was esti.
mated roughly expenses might amount
to $l05, 900 and that receipts might
run no more than 100000.
II this proves ccsect, it would mean
the 1872 contributors to the guaranty
fund would have to divide a loss of
some $4,000. This figure is not con-
sidered high in view of yesterdays
steady downpour.
1t is presumed that whatever the
loss is found to be. it will be divided
among the guarantors on a pro rata
basis according to the amount con-
tributed by each guarantor However,
there was no announcement on this
score.
Further Receipts Looked for
Melvin D. Hildreth OF the Iriaugu.
raj Ticket Committee expects to re-
ceive some further money in receipts,
and before a final accounting can
be made, all bills and receipts must
be audited by accountants attached
to the Inaugural Committee.
The final financial settlement will
be recommended by the Finance Com
mittee, which is headed by Robert
v. Fleming, president Of the Riggs
National Bank.
There have been losses to guarantors
in some previous inaugurals, and in
some other instances, when weather
was favorable, receipts have exceeded
costs and surpluses have been given
to charity.
There were no rain checks" for
yesterdays performance, no postpone

quently the committee did not agree
to any refund for parade stand
tickets.
The show was staged as scheduled,

rector of the Federal Bureau of
Prisons, effective February l, Attorney
General Cummings announced today.

ment to become executive director Of
the Boys Club Of America, Inc, for a
salary so per cent in excess of his
present $4,000 a year.
Il sincerely regret that the admin

Roosevelt wrote Bates in a letter made
public by Cummings.

Came Here in 1929.
Bates came to Washington in June,
1929, at the request of Attorney Gen.
eral William D. Mitchell to reorganize
the Federal prison system. A year
later, the Bureau of Federal Prisons
was organized with Bates at its head.
His work with Massachusetts, correc-
tive institutions gave him world wide
reputation.
Bates received credit for the choice
of Alcatraz Island, bleak and rocky
spot in San Francisco Bay, as the site
for the prison to house the most dam
gerous Federal criminals.
He continues as member of the
Prison Industries Board and remains
the United States member of the In
ternational Prison Commission.
Although for several years he has
been represented as resentful of criti-
cism concerning the operation of State
parole systems, this difference sup
posedly did not figure in the resig-
nation.
Bates asked the Attorney General

his resignation. He said:
