Sugar Bill
Is Bart0
Recess
By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON

BY WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON
Q.N.SO The seventy-fifth Con-
gress roared down the adjourn
ment trail today with leaders
fighting to block every move that
might interfere with final enact
ment of President Roosevelt'S
legislative program.
Final obstacle to adjournment
appeared to be the sugar quota
bill. now before the Senate
Finance Committee, which the
administration opposes in its pres
ent form. The House imposed
quotas on the importation of re-
fined sugar from Puerto Rico and
Hawaii over the objections Of the
Interior Department.
Veto Threats Voiced
Administration leaders hoped to
strike out these limitations in the
Senate, but leaders of the sugar
bloc predicted they would be re-
tanned. This brought threats of
veto from the President, in which
event the sugar bloc leaders be-
lieved they could enact the bill
over the Presidents objections.
Meanwhile, after six months OF
bitter controversy, the Senate dis
posed of President RooSevelt'S Su-
preme Court enlargement bill by
sending to the House q revised
substitute measure for procedural
reforms in the lower Federal
courts. The high court would not
be affected. The bill was passed
without a record vote under the
guidance of Vice President Garner.
Both Sides Approve
Both Senator Ashurst CD of
Arizona, Judicial Committee chair
man, who led the losing fight for
the Presidents original bill, and
Senator Wheeler CD OF Mon
tana, leader of the opposition,
approved the bill.
Two oCner important aQmln1SCra-
ton bills, already passed by the
Senate, we're pending in the House.
These were the mild wage-hour
bill and the emaSculated Wagner
Housing act.
Modification Talked
There was wild talk in House
corridors Of modifying all three
bills in keeping with White House
wishes. Administration leaders
were putting a soft pedal" on
amendments and hoping to obtain
House approval of the Senate bills,
practically unchanged, to avoid
further legislative controversies
that might extend the present ses-
sion indefinitely.
The sugar bill, anti-lynching
legislation and the government re-
organization bill, providing six
new secretaries for the President,
were pending in the Senate after
passing the House. Prompt action
was promised on the sugar bill.

Mr.. Hoover's great hobby

the Senate adopted an amend
ment to this effect, it was in
certain whether the President
would approve the proposal.
The biggest single issue was
the Byrd amendment, which
limited costs to $1,000 per room
and $4,000 per family unit. Pro
ponents of the legislation, who
say that subsidies are necessary
to provide housing for low.in-
come groups, insisted that this
limitation would ruin the bill.
Senator Byrd CD Of Virginia,
pointed out that the limitation
excluded both cost of land and
supervision. Thus, he said. the
limitation actually is about
$1,000 per unit.

REVOKED DRIVERS
REGAIN LICENSES
They Are Quick to Apply
for Permits After Expir-
alton of Time
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In The Sir Walter HOtel

Raleigh, July 20-Automobile driv-
ers who have mad their driving licen-
Ses revoked lose no time in applying
for new licenses when the period of
revocation has expired, Ronald H.
Hocutt, assistant director of the high
way safety division of the Department
Of Revenue, said today. The division
sends out a notice to every driver
whose license has been revoked when
the period of revocation has expired
and the driver is again eligible to OBJ
tain new license, Hocutt said. But
most of the drivers write in to the di-
vision for new application blanks be-
fore these notices are sent out.
Through today, 11,572 licenses have
been revoked, principally for drunk
en- driving and allied causes, 2,119 Ii
censes have been suspended, while L.
632 drivers whose revocations have ex-
PRED have made application for new
licenses, Hocutt said.
"The driving licenses of persons
whose permits have been revoked are
not automatically reinstated upon the
expiration of the revocations, how
ever, as some seem to think" Hocutt
said. When a revocation expires, the
driver must first make a new appli-
cation, pay a fee of 81 and then pass
a driving examination by highway
patrolman or special examiner be-
fore he can obtain a new license"
Most of those whose licenses have
been revoked are very anxious to OBJ
tain new licenses and most of them
succeeded in passing the examina-
tions. Hocutt said.
after having been deprived of their
driving licenses for a year, these driv-
ers realize their value more than ever
and are usually able to pass the exam
ination without any trouble" Hocutt
said. There are some, of course, who
fail to make any application for new
licenses, but in great many cases
these drivers have moved to other
states or co not know that they can
make applications and get new Ii
censes."

BIRTHS INCREASING
THROUGHOUT STATE
Return of Prosperity Also
Brings. Return of Stork
to Many Homes

Raleigh, July z0-With the return of
prosperity a definite increase in the
number of babies being born in North
Carolina is reflected in figures com
piled by the Division of Vital Statistics
of the State Board of Health, of
which DR.. r. T. Simpson IS the direc-
tor. Reports for the first six months
of 1887, as compared with the first
half of 1886 show that 39,979 babies
already have been born in North
Carolina this year, as compared with
38,875 the same period last year, a
difference of 1104 in favor of 1887.
The trend has been upward since 1888,
prior to which time there was a de-
crease in births, following a decided
increase just after the war, when
prosperity was at it's height.
North Carolina also continues to
show a declining death rate. The
number of deaths reported by the
Vital Statistics Division the first half
of 1887 was 1888. This was in con-
trast with 1884 reported the cores
ponding period in 1896, difference
of 1,276, in favor of 1887.

POWER FIRM OPENS
A NEW DEPARTMENT
Carolina Company Makes
A. L. Monroe Director of
Agriculture Work

An announcement of considerable
interest is made by S. P. Vecker, gen
eral sales manager of the Carolina
Power & Light Company, with regard
to his company's planned activities in
the field of development of the ma
tural resources of the territory which
it's electric lines serve and the estab-
lishment of a special department to
further this purpose. This new de-
partment, of which A. l.. Monroe will
be in direct charge, will ice known as
the Agricultural and Industrial De-
velopment Department.
'"The cordpany has always been
deeply interested in the development
of the agricultural and industrial pos
sibilities Of the territory which it
serves" stated Mr.. Vecker, "but never
before has it felt that the general in
terest in it's territory for agricultural
and industrial expansion was as keen
and widespread as it is today or the
possibilities of development as great,
in view of which we feel that de-
partment interested solely in that OBJ
jective is now fully warranted.
'."The new department will continue
and enlarge upon the Company's long
established policy of close cooperation
with agricultural commercial and in
dustrial bodies and civic organizations
in it's territory-Mr. Monroe and his
staff cooperating with all sections
comprising the territory served by
our lines"
Many economic experts agree that
the agricultural and industrial devel-
opnaent of the South has only begun
and that the next few years will wit
ness a far greater development than
previously has taken place. In this de-
velopment these experts feel that
agriculture plays even greater part
than ever before due to the rapid dis
covery of chemical and other methods
of applying farm products directly
to industry, displacing materials,
often heretofore secured from foreign
countries, for which until recently no
substitute was known.
