in Madeleine de Fontages' story of
the romance she processes to have

Mile de Fontages. if one happened

bullet into the Count de Chambrun in

who have so far been provided with
jobs in the Works Progress Admins
tration and other Federal agencies,
but who are in danger of being "liqui-
dated" along with the agencies around
July 1. It is also understood that
Congressman DOughton would like to
see some one named chairman of the
new commission who could be of as
sistance to him if he should decide
to run against Senator Robert r
Reynolds in the primary next year.
Claims for Coan
These two factors are regarded as
being very largely responsible for the
revival in the boom for George w.
Coan, at present State WPA Admin
istrator, Bailey appointee and re-
garded as being a strong Bailey organ
ization man, for the Craftsmanship of
the new State Highway and Public
Works Commission. 1t is understood
that the Coan candidacy has the full
and complete blessing Of Senator Bail
ey and the Bailey organization, espe-
cially since it is generally reported
that the Bailey patronage powers have
been very drastically curtailed in
Washington as a result of his opposi-
ton to the Presidents Supreme Court
reorganization plan. 1t is no secret
that for many weeks now various en-
ployes of the Works Progress Admin
istration have been carrying on a
quiet but persistent campaign in fav-
or of the appointment of Coan as
chairman of the recognized highway
commission, despite the fact that en-

ployes of Federal agencies are not sup
posed to take any part in politics, es-
pecially State politics.
Mayors Rounded Up
The campaign is understood to have
increased during the past week, with
the sending of letters to most of the
mayors of cities and towns in the
State, asking them to indorse and
support Ccan for the craftsmanship of
the highway commission, according
to word going the rounds today. These
letters are reported to have given the
impression that Capus M. Waynick,
present chairman of the highway COM
mission, is not under consideration for

ILLICIT STILL IS
TAKEN BY OFFICERS
'a
CottreH and Jackson Con-
fiscate $50 Gallons Beer
and Whisky

A fifty gallon capacity illicit whisky
still was captured this morning by
Enforcement officers E. A. Cottrell
and L. A. Jackson, and two Negroes
at the scene outdistanced officers,
making good their escape.
The officers poured out $50 gallons
of beer, eight jars whisky, cut up IA
barrels and destroyed other equip
ment at the site.
The plant was located in Williams
boro township.

though the governor so far has not
made any statement to this effect. It
may or may not be significant that
the mayors of the various cities and
towns have to go to Mr. Coan to get
WPA projects they want approved.
A good many were inclined to doubt
the reports when first heard that Con-
gresham Doughton had any interest
in the Craftsmanship of the highway
commission or in having Coan named
it's new chairman. But the report is
persisting to the extent that more and
more credence is being given to it.
The reason for Doughtons interest
in Coan's candidacy is said to be
that he has been convinced Coan is
an excellent vOte-getter and could
throw very strong support from the
entire highway department back of
his candidacy, should he decide to be-
come a candidate for the United
States Senate against Senator Rey-
nolds. There is no denying the fact
that Doughton is toying with the idea
of opposing Reynolds next year and
many are already convinced that he
will undoubtedly seek Reynolds seat
in the Senate.
HOey Has Own Ideas
Those who know Governor Hoey,
however, know that he is not the sort
inclined to accept suggestions with re-
gard to his own appointments and
purely State matters from members of
Congress- especially if personal politi-
cal angles are involved. Nor is it be-
lieved that Governor Hoey would con-
slider for a moment any plan which

The long awaited statement was
carefully phrased and put to rout
questions from labor opposition
which were intended to extract a
pledge of support from the gov
ernment in maintaining the ster-
ling gold price.
Sir John said:
Il am glad of the opportunity
of making this Statement with
the view of removing some Of the
misconceptions which have been
prevalent. The British monetary
policy remains as laid down by
my predecessor Neville Cham

tripartite agreement last Septem-
Der.
mo change in this policy Is con-
templated nor has one come before
the imperial conference.
This policy does not involve us
in an obligation TO buy gold at a
fixed price but does involve the
purchase or sale of gold for the
purpose of checking undue fluctu-
alton in exchange rates. We never
hesitated and will not hesitate TO
buy or sell gold for this purpose"
