CHILD LABOR, WEED
PACT BEFORE HOUSE
By CHILES COLEMAN
limited Press Staff Correspondent

RALEIGH, Feb. |. CUP. -
Liquor and the sales tax held the
spotlight OH the floor and in COM
mittee rooms Of the general as
sembly during its fourth week IN
session, but both were moved
aside today for more urgent mat
tiers.
Under special order of business,
the house meets at 2 p. m. today
TO consider the child labor amend
ment to the federal constitution
and the state tobacco compact
bill.
Ratification of the federal
amendment was urged last week
by the constitutional amendments
committee, but no one on capitoi
hill today would venture a predic-
ton that the assembly would do
likewise. Opposition of the strong
est sort is expected to develop
when ratification is asked.
Less controversial is the tobac-
co compact measure. The iegis-
lators know that other weed-pro-
ducing states are looking to them
for leadership in this matter: The
bill. they will conside rprovides a
minimum acreage of 80 acres,
with the county boards of COM
misioners authorized to set maxi
mum levels.
Another flood Of local and sec
ondary measures poured into leg,
islative hoppers of the house ana
senate during last week, but defl,
mite action was taken on several
issues. A committee killed KEEP
resentative Dellinger's bill to
abolish lethal gas, and anotner
committee-the joint appropria-
tions group-turned thumbs down
on the agriculture board request
for $4,000 year to cover a pos
sible deficit in operation OF the
state fair.
Not disheartened, the agricul-
ture board went ahead with plans
for state operation and broke the
lease to private operators on Sat

Vatican Protest
To Reich Is Seen
Nazi Crusade on Parochial
Schools Is Issue

MUNICH, Feb. 1. (UP).-Cath-
Ollie officials announced early to-
day that they will protest ITO the
highest authorities of the reich"
against a Nazi crusade to close
Parochial schools.
The announcement, climaxlng a
long-smouldering controversy, fol-
lowed an announcement by Ger
man authorities that 95.2 per cent
of Munich's school children have
been nerolled in non-denomina-
tional schools for the new term. ,
Before the Nazi campaign OF
propaganda and house : to house
canvass a majority of Munich pa
rents chose Catholic schools for
their children.
Catholic authorities charged the
Nazis were using pressure on pa
rents of Munich and Nuremberg.
Of 7,457 school children in Mu-
Mich only 357 will enter Catholic
schools for the new term, the
Nazis said.
A United Press dispatch from
Vatican City, where Pope Plus nj
has taken a grave view of the
anti Catholic activities in Ger
many, quoted prelates as saying
that Chancellor Hitler will sign a
decree soon outlawing "confes-
sional" or UNCONVENTIONAL schools.

day night as swollen waters Of the
Ohio reached their peak and swept

A food-weary nation counted
378 known dead as waters grad

additional scores Of deaths may
be revealed as the food subsidies.
More than 100000 were home

have not yet reached their peaks.
Damage was estimated at close

The gnawing waters ate through
a mud dixie protecting Tiptonville,

that the five to six hundred men
working on the levee escaped but
that Tiptonville would be flooded.
