 With the new year and the ap- proach of a new Congress the prob lem of what to do about Federal Work relief overshadows all others. It is likely to prove the most trou- blesome, too, for the depression years rooted the philosophy of aid for the needy deep in our economic system.
 A study of the welter of rumors and statements dealing with the situation indicate President Roose- welt is trying to reconcile two cam paign pledges which at first glance might seem to be irreconciliable. MT. Roosevelt said during the fall campaigning that the needy would be cared for. He also said every effort would be made to balance the budget. These questions arise from

that situation.
 How much of his tremendous pop ular majority was rolled up because of his liberal relief policies? No one can say. Nor can anyons say with any degree of certainty what effect his pledges to balance the budget had in the total. MT Roosevelt, however, has not been blind to the improvement in business. Perhaps he is trying to bring relief rolls into proper alignment with absorption of workers by private employers. That would be a good guess.

THANKSGIVING COMES
FOR WALL ON FRIDAY
Charlotte Negro Saved From Death
Cell iii State Prison just in
Nick of Time
Daily Dispatch Bureau.


Raleigh, Nov 27.-Tom Wall had his
Thanksgiving day after all, though it
was a day after that on which the
all to be joyful.
The Mecklenburg Negroes jubilee he
gan just about half an hour before
he was scheduled to draw his last
breath-a choking, gasping breath in
a deadly cloud of cyanide gas in the
States death chamber. Tom was told
then that Governor Hoey had granted
him thirty-day reprieve.
Action of the chief executive stop
ped what would have been the first
Execution in North Carolina since Au-
gust 10, when two Negroes (by coin
cidence both named McNeill, though
hey were not related) paid the pen
atty for capital crimes.
Governor Hoey said he acted be-
cause A. A. Tarlton, resourceful attor-
ney who carried Wallis case all the
way to the United States Supreme
Court in vain attempt to win legal
vindicaiton for his client, pleaded for
chance to present what he termed
new evidence showing that Tom is
not the Negro who invaded the Gil
christ home in Mecklenburg in the
dead of night, and when cornered,
slashed viciously at Peter Gilchrist.
With postponenent of the Wall ex-
ecution there is more than remote
chance that there will be none in
North Carolina during the rest of the
current year, although three Negroes
are slated to go to the gas chamber
on Decemt er 10 and the week follow
ing that is now marked on the calen-
dar as the last day on earth for four
:nore.
The first trio, however, haven't had
any reprieves from the executive. The
second quartet will likely live until
their appeals are heard by the Su-'
preme Court.
