FROZEN" COLD.
MAY BE FREED.
TO FINANCE U. S.
Part Would Be Paid Out
In New Currency
By ERIC FRIEDHEIM

U.N.sJ. The Treasury may
utilize portions Of its huge stock
Of frozen" gold in financing the
cost of government during the
next quarter, high fiscal officials
indicated today.
With Federal expenditures run
ming far ahead of receipts, the
Treasury must augment its cash
reserves December is when $780,
000, 900 of short term obligations
reach maturity.
INTEREST DUE
Currently, the Treasury has
slightly over $6OO,OOO,OOO in cash
in its working balance and in ad-
dition to liquidating the short
term paper the Government must
pay out approximately $160,000,-
600 in interest due on other public
debt obligations.
Although income tax payments
for the fiscal quarter are expected
to yield $450,OO0,OOO in revenue
next month, the Treasury must
add still more funds to its cash
stocks to meet expenditure de-
mands up to March Is.
MAY RELEASE GOLD
Through its gold sterilization.
program instituted year ago,
the Treasury has amassed $1,240,-
00O,0 Of the metal. This gold
has been purchased with borrowed
money and placed into an inactive
fund to control the nations credit
machinery.
Last September, when banks
complained that credit was be-
coming restricted, the Treasury re-
leased $500, 100000 of it's sterilized
gold as an inflationary move.
If the Treasury decides to re.
lease additional gold from it's in.
active fund, the move will be
made purely to raise cash, new
currency would be issued against
the metal. At present there is
ample bank credit available for in

APPEALS STARTED
IN ELECTRIC ROW
Johnston County Argument
Merely Crouch of REA
Bunch I'm Capital
Daily Dispatch Bureaus
I'm tine Sir Waiter Atstels

Raleigh. Sept. 3-All parties to- the
Johnstown county electrification row
are preparing to press vigorously ap-
pea1s from the rulings Of Judge Henry
A. Grady, who recently dismissed the
plea for an injunction filed by three
Johnston county farmers, fronting Tor
the Federal Rural Identification Au-
thority.
This is quite contrary to the COM
mon impression that there would be
no appeal from Judge Grady's refusal
to restrain the Carolina Power and
Light Company from building rural
lines in Johnston county under an
agreement entered into with directors
of the county electric membership cor
pofation.
Attorneys for the three sides-this
case having more than the usual two
parties-wiT endeavor to get togeth-
err next week to settle upon the case
on appeal.
Decision by the plaintiff farmers,
who are mere figureheads for the
REA, was encouraged by Judge
Grady's findings; of facts" which
were almost uniformly in their favor
and against the power company and
the defendant directors of the coop.
It is hoped by the plaintiffs that re-
versal of Judge Grady's refusal to
grant an injunction might be accom-
panied by mandatory injunction re-
curing the power company to tear
down lines already erected. At least,
they feel, the contract, under which
the coop directors agreed to reject a
loan from the REA and by which the
power company was given the exclu-
sive right to build lines in Johnston,
will be declared null and void. Judge
Grady expressly found that the con-
tract created a monopoly and indi-
Gated the opinion that the directors
of the coop did not act in good faith.
The power company's appeal will seek
reversal of these fact findings, as
will that of the directors.

srnerintendent of schools, according
to the information, indicating the in
tention and purpose of the people
since more than so years that the
schools should be administered from
tn court house quarters, and that the
county superintendent should be re-
cognized as a county official from the
beginning.
Removal of the school office was
ordered so as to make room for the
tax collector, who is to be elected by
the county commissioners to assume
his duties October 1.
The first clerk of court was j. X.
Young, whose term of office was from
1881 to 1890. He was succeeded by
Henry Perry, whose first term was
from 1890 to 1894. Then the Repub-
licans came into power and D. II. Gill
had a term from 1894 to 1898. When
the Democrats came into power again
in 1898, Col. Henry Perry was elect
ed and held office until his death in
1884, when E. o. Faulkner, the present
clerk, took office.
The first superintendent of schools
was Mark Allen, who went in as SUI
perintendent in 1881 and held the of
flee until 1894, when he was succeed
ed by H. NJ Matties, a Republican
who held the office until 1900. Mr.

SCHOOL OFFICE IN
THE COURT HOUSE
Has Been There Ever Since
County Was Formed,
Records Indicate

Some historical data was produced
today to show that the office of the
county schools has been in the court
house since Vance county was formed
in 1881, or since the first court house
for the new county was built in 1884.
The facts were brought out in con-
nection with the recent order of the
Vance Board of County Commission
ers to the County Board of Education
to vacate the office not later than
SEPTEMBER 80, and to move to the new
high school.
The first officers to occupy the

GUILTY PLEA

ROCKVILLE, Md, March II.
Milburn Read, 21-year-old brother
of William B. Read, held in West
Virginia on a murder charge, to-
day entered a plea of guilty to
conspiracy to rob and murder iIl
circuit court here today.
Before he entered his plea, the
State put Lawrence Gingell, also
under indictment in the West Vir.
ginia Staying, on the stand.
Gingell, brought here from
Charleston, testified that on Octo-
ber 80 last, he, Read and Richard
Stockton, plotted to hold up Henry
Hiser, Bethesda theater owner.
They parked their car in Edge
moor Lane and waited for Hiser
to come to a nearby bank and de-
poSit his theater receipts. Just as
they were about to hold him up a
police car arrived and they were
forced to flee, Gingell said.
Read then entered a plea of
guilty and Gingell was returned
to await trial in connection with
the murder of William A. Doll
man, a salesman, near Sutton, w.
Va, last Thanksgiving Day.
Stockton is now in the Rockville
Jail, awaiting trial on the con-
Spracy charge.

SAFE IN SNOW

Last nights three-inch snow

after an inspection of the buds.
Mr.. GartSide still believes the
cherry blooms will be in evidence
earlier than usual" unless. of
course, below freezing tempera-
lures continue. No indication Of
the blooming date has been given,
however.
A low temperature reading Of
27 degrees was reported this
morning by the U. S. Weather

On the heels of the revelation
yesterday that members of the
House District Committee oppos-
ing the race track legalization
bill had been threatened with
political assassination" by men,
bers sponsoring the measure, it
was disclosed today that Repre-
sentative Mary T. Norton CD, Of
New Jersey, chairman of the Dis
trict Committee, had been threat
ened for her part in seeking ap-
proval of the measure.
The person who made the
threats against the District Com
mittee chairman is not a member
of Congress, but representative OF
a reform organization who walked
into Mrs. Norton's office and as
serted that unless she withdrew
the bill the organization would
seek her defeat in the next cleo
tion.
She Defies Threat
The party who made the threat
did not see Mrs. Norton, it is. un'
derStood, but made the declara'
Ten to one of her office staff
When informed of the message
Mrs. Norton, who took the matter
lightly, commented:
81 would be happy to have
that proposition as an issue in
my next campaign, and / GER
tainIy shall not only refuse to
withdraw the bill, but will make
every possible effort to have it
passed"
The two members of the com
mittee opposing the bill, and who
have been threatened with "po'
litical assassination, likewise
took the threats lightly, and have
begun a more vigorous campaign
to defeat the measure when 1t
comes up on the House floor
March %.
Chances Feared Injured
Meanwhile, some Of the bills
proponents were reported to have
felt that the stories concerning
the threats were injuring chances
of victory.
They feel that the publicity
given to the committee contro
versy and fighting among the com
mittee members will not appeal
to House members and that many
may vote against the bill merely
because it has caused such a dis,
turbance in the District commit
tee, which usually conducts its
work with little notoriety.
