but that no decision had been reach
ed. He mentioned no amount in this
connection, either, but $1,50O,0OO, 900
was the figure he was reliably report
ed as considering.
The President said one of the fea-
lures of the works program being dis
cussed was lonS-term loans 20 NUM-
cipalities without interest. He said he
had not decided whether to combine
public works and work relief proposals;
in one message to Congress, or to
make them separate.
One billion dollars for relief was
proposed in the Presidents January
budget message.
Mr. Roosevelt discussed relief short

vide permanent security program"
based on work instead of direct re-
lief.
Hopkins estimated, in his testimony
before the Senate unemployment com

and children in 100000 households
were receiving public assistance at
the present time, compared to a peak
of 27OOO,OOO persons in the winter of

Raleigh, April 8-Dr. N. Y. Gulley,

which will accept the Gulley dicta
only if they are backed by precedent

not be swallowed just because they
are uttered by the learned and pe-

DR.. Gulley is scheduled to appear
before North Carolina's Supreme
Court Judges to argue his appeal
from a lower court decision that he
must pay nearly 5000 assessed against
him as a North Main street properly
