Raleigh, March 12.-Adjournment
of the General Assembly by Thursday,
March IS, the date already set for the
legislative machinery to grind to a
stop, or even by the end of the week,
is now regarded as almost an impos-
sibility, due to the many important
Statewide bills still to be acted upon
in the House or Senate and to the
hundreds of other bills either still be-
fore committees or on the calendars.
More than 100 public. and local bills
were on the House calendar when it
met today while the Senate also had
a heavy calendar as a result of the
more than 100 bills the Senate passed
yesterday and Wednesday. But in
spite of the speed being shown by the
House and the tremendous pressure
being maitained in the boiler of the
House locomotive by Speaker-Engi-
neer r. Gregg Cherry, few observers
see how it will be possible for the leg
islative train to reach it's destination

next week.
eff the General Assembly adjourns
even by next Saturday, it will either
have to kill and pass bills much fas-
ter than is safe for itself or the State,
or else adjourn with a hundred or
more bills not even reached-and eth
err of these alternatives is bad" a
veteran legislative observer said to-
day. "It had better stay here a few
days longer and proceed little more
carefully and cautiously rather than
rush through things too fast"
Even if the House and Senate
should manage to clear their calen-
dars by next Thursday or Saturday it
will be at least three weeks yet before
the enrolling department can get the
hundreds of bills copied and ratified
it is, pointed out. So the chances are
that the assembly may have to remain
in session for several days waiting for
the enrolling office to copy the last
pages of the bills, so the lieutenant
governor and speaker can sign them
and the two houses ratify them. The
enrolling clerks can then copy all OF
the bills later on. The enrolling Of

Of the market up for net gains of

AT the start equities opened weak.
The brisk selling drive soon lost force
and a gradual rise set in, aided by
short covering, brokers said.
Much of the time the market was
felt to have shown underlying strength.
particularly in view of the fact that
London turned from the buying to the
selling side. This resistance in turn
braced most of the list, but traders
in late dealings became disheartened
at the draggy behavior of the steels
and motors and the market was left
without support.
The slower pace of trading was seen
in financial circles as indicating a de-
side to await clarihcation of both
technical factors and administration
credit policies.
Transactions approximated l,15O,-
