New Safety
Bills Appear
Choked Out
Little Hope Now for
New Division Un-
der Direct Control
of Governor
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, March 1.-THE bills to Gre
ate a new highway safety department,
under which the State highway patrol,
the drivers license division and a
new bureau of Identification would be
grouped and administered by COM
missioner of highway safety appoint
ed by the governor have been hang
ing on snag for about two weeks
now, it was learned from an authori-
tative source today This snag seems
to be a growing spirit of opposition
in the House to the creation of any
new commissions or to any new ap-
pointive jobs to be, filled by the gov
ernor. This spirit is being helped
along both by the Department of
Revenue, which does not want to lose
control of the highway patrol and the
drivers license division, also by the
State Highway and Public Works
Commission, which would like to have
the highway patrol, at least, trans
ferred back under it's protective wing.
Accordingly, it is now expected that
when the bills are finally reported in
by the committee on roads, they will
be amended merely to transfer the ac-
tive direction of the highway patrol,
the drivers license division and the
proposed new bureau of identification
to the governors office-but still with
a provision that the governor may ap-
point some one to act for him in sup
ervising the direction of those agen-
cies. An effort may be made to push

Raleigh, March 11.-Representative

which call for the expenditure of pub

Mr.. Fenners bill would set up a
commission of five members to be ap-
pointed by the governor for terms of

Washington, March 11.-(AP)-
Agriculture Department officials
said today hurley tobacco grow
ers are busy planting a near rec
ord acreage with no prospect of
state cOmpacts or new Federal
legislation to control production
this year.
Tentative estimates placed the 1887
planting at 100000 acres, compared
with 3OS,OOO in 1886 and a five-year
average 192S-S2 of 426,6OO acres.
The only control in sight, officials
said, is the soil conservation pro-

states have failed to adopt compacts

months ago for the Franklin County
Electric Membership Corporation by
the Federal Rural Electrification Ad-
