is Executive Committee A public
hearing had been set on them yester-
day, but was postponed until tomor-
row afternoon, with possibility there
might have to be further delay if the
Senate meets during the afternoon.
The House group voted down the
three measures by representatives
Lumpkin, of Franklin, and Spruill, of
BERTHE, to abolish completely absentee
ballots, abolish use of markers and
assistants, and prohibit any one from
entering voting booth except the
person actually voting. Lumpkin and
Spruill supported DR.. Ralph McDon-
aid, of Winston-Salem, in his unsuc-
cessful gubernatorial fight last sum-
mer, after which Mcdonald lodged
charges of absentee voting frauds.
Two measures to fix voting hours
at between 7:3O a. m. and $50 p. M,
instead of sunrise to sunset and to
hold primaries on Tuesdays instead Of
Saturdays received the same fate.

Eut if the Senate remains adamant in
holding out for the sales tax on
meals, the general belief is that the
House conferees will agree to accept
it, because of the acute need for get
ting all the revenue that can pos
sibly be raised and the belief of many
that even now the revenue and APP
preparations bills are being balanced
.argely on faith and hope.
HOey Won't Risk Prestige
If Governor Hoey decides to make a
fight on the sales tax on meals, there
S a possibility that it might be eli
minated in the conference committee,
some believe. But since the governor
has no veto and since the Senate has
already deliberately disregarded his
position with regard to this tax, most
observers believe he would make a
mistake to take a hand in the situa-
Jon now, since he might not win out
in which case his prestige would
suffer. There are some who think
hat privately the governor does not

Wilmington, Feb. 24.-(AP)- The
State widened the scope of it's case in
the poison murder trial of Edgar
Smoak today in an effort to show a
similarity in the deaths over 14-year
period of the carpenters young daugh
ter and two wives.
The 39-year-old defendant is on trial
only on charge of poisoning his
daughter, Annie Thelma,
But Judge Clement late yesterday
ruled testimony pertaining to the
other deaths was permissible.
Solicitor John Burney said the State
had evidence all three were poisoned,
and added he wanted to show the mo-
tive in each was to collect insurance
money.

ton tax on gasoline companies and
the substitution of 81 tax on each

ed tax based on the number of sta
lions under the control of a single
company.
AS the revenue bill now stands, it
is regarded as being about in bal
ance" with the appropriations bill as
passed by the House, which means
that it will yield enough revenue to
take care of the average of $4,000, 900
in approp"iations-which includes the
highway appropriations, supported
from the highway fund The reve-
nue. bill proper will yield approximate
ely $38,0C000 a year to meet the ap-
propriations from the general fund,
which is the support of all State de-
partments and institutions, including
the public schools, with the exception
of the highway department and the
department Of agriculture 1t is esti-
mated that the non-tax revenue of
the State, together with the expected
increase in revenues from all present
taxes, will be sufficient to take care
of general fund appropriations
amount ng to almost $40000O0O year.
Meals Tax Outstanding
The most startling change made in
the revenue bill by the Senate was the
restoration of the sales tax on meals
in hotels and cafes despite the fact
that both the committee and the
House refused to do this and despite
the fact that Governor Hoey opposed
such action and declared for the re-
moval of the sales tax on meals in
his campaign and in his inaugural ad-
dress. However it is recalled that
the House Finance Committee restor-
ed this tax on meals the day before
it reported the bill into the House,
then removed it that night at it's final
meeting, apparently at the suggestion
of Governor Hoey. 1t is believed
that the House would have gone along
with the committee for this tax if it
Ia, rc- lined in the bill and kept it
out only because it's members want
ed to follow the governors wishes.
