PITTS BUYS BIBLES
FOR PRISONS Use
Begin Organized Religious
Program at Prison
Camps July l
Daily Dispatch Rarcus
In the SIR Waiter Hotel.


Raleigh, June 29.-Owing to the
many letters he has been getting from
prisoners asking for Bibles, more thai
1000 Bibles and New Testaments
have recently been purchased and dis
tributed to prisoners in the various
prison camps and more have been or
dered, Acting Director Oscar Pitts of
the prison division of the State High
way and Public Works Commission
said today The first organized re-
Hglous program among the prisoners
will be started July 1, when the Rev
Eugene Nj. Bryant will become direc-
tor OF religious activities and educa-
ton among the prisoners and thus
start a new line of work which has
been greatly needed for years. Fits
said.
The average prisoner is deeply
emotional and sincerely interested in
religion with the result that I am ex
pecting our new religious education
program to fill long-felt need"
Pitts said. $50 far we have been al
most entirely dependent upon volun-
teer workers for the holding of re-
hgious services in prison camps with
the result that in some camps we
have not been able to have many ser
vices. One of the first things Mr..
Bryant is planning to do is to make
arrangements for religious services
every Sunday in as many of the pri-
son camps as possible He also ex-
poets to organize classes in Bible
study and religious education in the
various camps and to encourage and
direct volunteer teachers and lead
ers"
Prisoners do not turn to religion
merely because they happened to get
caught and think that by turning to
religion they will have a better
chance to get out. Pitts said, but be-
cause a great majority of them come
to see the error Of their former ways
and realize that the lest way to live
and to keep out of trouble is along
the plan set out in the Bible. The
prisoners also have more time to read
the Bible and to think than before
they were sent to prison, with the re-
suit that Bibles are always in de-
mand in all the prison camps.
Pitts is confident that the new re-
ligious program will greatly improve
the general morale of the prisoners.

ISSUE NOW JOINED
IN SENATE CONTEST
Hancock Against, Reynolds
For Wage-Hour Bill Now
in Congress
Daily D1SDHtch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.


Raleigh, Dec. 9.-First issue has
been joined in the Senate race for the
seat now occupied by Bob Reynolds
and coveted by Frank Hancock.
Bob is in favor of the wage and
hour bill, Frank is against it.
Ho~otofore the two candidates have
1ean just as alike as two peas in a
pod, even down to the fact that both
wanted to be United States senator.
ROW Hancock has swung to the right,
While Reynolds continues at least
slightly to the left of center, despite
MS recent obvious concessions to con-
SENTATIVE thought, and his repeated
calls for compromise"
AS things stood Senator Reynolds
could do little except to stick to the
Wage-hour BILL for which he voted at
the last regular session. With the
House member, it was different, the
measure never having come on the
Iloor because of a combination of
ooutherners and Republicans on the
House Rules Committee.
Inc oxford man evidently believes
that sentiment in North Carolina is
against the wage and hour bill. Ger
talnly he has every right to think
that his opposition will gain him sup
port in conservative quarters. Almost
every newspaper in the State has
taken stand against the bill. Gov
ernor Clyde R. Hoey is known to be
definitely against it, as is Senator
Josiah w. Bailey.
Reynolds is confident that the bill

lie urged. payment to farmers on
that share of their crop consumed in
this country as a substitute for acre
reduction. Lee said the restrictions
under the lever normal granary" cot
ION section would force small cotton
farmers to compete with "the hotten-
lots, the coolie, the; lowest type of lab
Oh in India"
Before the Senate debate began, the
House, with less. than half its mem
bers present, voted down a proposal to
permit the agriculture secretary to
impose marketing quotas on corn
when national supplies pile up to p
600,000,000 bushels. The unrecorded
vote was 70 to SO.
The House farm bill as it now
stands would authorize invoking the
quotas when supplies reached 2,9O0,-
100000 bushels.
Debate opened, meanwhile, in the
Senate with a declaration by Sena-
tor Copeland, Democrat, New York,
that peace between business and the
administration was far more import
ant than the pending farm BILL
Copeland opposed the lever normal
granary' measure, but said II know
the ways are creased; there isn't any
doubt about this bill passing"

1t was not, it seems, that the Argen-
tine authorities had any particular
fault to find with him, so far as they
themselves were concerned. But his
news reports, appearing in the Unit

Vargas told Argentina he would con-
slider it "unfriendly" if the latter

Evidently Argentina preferred not to
be so considered.
Why The Change?
This is rather peculiar. Traditlonally

When John Milton, who was born

Milton, utilizing to the utmost the
talent that made him third only TO
Shakespeare and BalZac in Occidental
literature. wrote another pamphlet,
plea for freedom of the press so elo-
ouent and persuasive that it broke
up licensing and censorship of the
press in England and it's colonies.
That plea, entitled Aeropagetica, IS
worth reading today, too.
After Milton had won his case, ne
