INDICATES FIGHT

Representative Woodrum Cd
Virginia, who will be acting chair
man of the House Conference
Committee on the spend-and.lend
bill, indicated, however, that q
Fight may develop over this pro
vision.
The Senate committee wrote
into the bill a provision for
farm parity payment totalling
S212,000,0CO, practically without
any hearings on the subject,
without any budget estimates,
and over the specific statement
CT the President when the
agricultural bill was under con-
slderation that if such pay
ments we're to be authorized,
taxes must be levied to meet
them" said Woodrum.
This action is in contrast
with the refusal Of the Senate
to provide processing taxes
when the tax bill was recently
under consideration in that
body"
Woodrum said he may demand
hearings on this and other Senate
changes in the relief-Spending bill,
which may require several days.
On the other hand, both Bank,
head and Chairman Taylor CD
of Colorado, of the Appropriations
Committee, both predicted speedy
agreement between Senate and
House on major differences in the
bills passed by the two bodies.
MAJOR DIFFERENCES
Major differences between the
two bodies were:
/. Senate voted $212.000,000 to
aid in making parity payments to
farmers. Not in House bill.
2. Senate included 100000, ,000
expansion of U. S. Housing Au
thority. Separate bill providing
this sum had been reported out o!
House Banking Committee, with
House passage assured when the
Senate acted.
8. Senate boosted WPA fund
SITS, 100000, after esiden
Roosevelt advised that unemploy.
ment program had become more
serious.
4. Senate eliminated Woodrum
House amendment which required
monthly ALLEGATION of WPA funds.
FARM BLOC RALLIES
While leaders of the dwindling
House economy bloc planned to
fight the $212, 100000 fund for
payment of subsidies to wheat,
cotton, and corn farmers, q
stronger farm bloc rallied to sup
port the provision.
THE farm act passed by Con-
gress provides for parity pay
ment when funds are available"
said Representative Cannon CD
of Missouri, member of the
House conference committee.
Il am for the amendment,
said Chairman Jones CD Of
Texas, of the House Agriculture.
Committee.
The fund is designed to permit
payment of an additional subsidy
of 10 cents a bushel on wheat,
cents pound on cotton, and
cents a buShel on corn. This
would supplement payments under
the soil-conservation program. The
goal is to assure farmers of rs
per cent Of parity prices.
WPA FUND TO PASS
House conference leaders were
ready to accept the Administra
tion's request for WPA funds. Be
cause of the uncertainty of the
business situation, the Senate's
figure of $1,425, 100000 to carry
WPA through until Congress meets
again is likely to be approved.
While House leaders agreed tt
boost the United States HousinI
Authority fund, sharp dispute wa!
expected over a Senate provision
relieving local communities of thu
necessity Of providing 10 per cent
OF the cost, until projects are com
pleted.

SALISBURY COUNCIL
REFUNDS PARKING FINES

Salisbury municipal officials are
playing Santa Claus this week to 3S1
persons who had paid 81 penalty
each for violations of the new park
ing regulations since November Is.
Checks to each person was ordered
mailed by the city treasurer after
the mayor and council decided to re-
fund the penalties paid by first Of
tenders.
The penalty exacted from parking
viOlatOrs was not intended to be a
punitive measure to those who visit
the city, but the regulations were
put into force to assist in solving an
aggravating traffic problem in the
downtown section of the city, the
city officials explained in a meeting
with representative of the mer-
chants division of the Chamber of
Commerce. The city now provides
free parking lots and merchants
plan the opening of a free 300 car
lot.
All first offenders who had paid
the 81 penalty for parking violations
prior to last Monday will receive the
refund check, whether the offense
occurred in the metered zones or on
streets where parking is limited.
Violations in the metered zones,
beginning Monday, must in the fu-
ture pay the 81 penalty at city hall.
But first offenders in restricted
parking sections will be excused
from paying penalty until the
deadline on April 1.
Installation Of the meters permits
shoppers and persons bent on other
business to park their cars near the
places they intend to visit. A check
has shown that in one week the me-
ters have made possible the parking
of about 5000 cars more than for
merly. Before meters were installed
the motorist found convenient places
occupied by all-day parkers and
were compelled to walk several
blocks TO reach the stores and other
business houses and Offices

FAITHFUL AND FEARLESS

The hot tropical sun blazed down
on Il group of fighting U. S. Marines
in Cuba on an afternoon in June
1898. They had driven the Spanish
Outposts back from their position
and had found a temporary breath
ing spot in the shadow of the CuZcO
Hills.
Out on the blue waters of the bay
the L. S. S. Dolphin was steaming
toward a point opposite the marines
to assist in the rOut of the enemy.
From the vessels position the ma
rines ashore could not definitely be
distinguished from Spaniards.
Suddenly the gunboat sent show
er of shells directly toward the spot
where the marines were attempting
to rally their forces against a foe
which greatly outnumbered them.
The DOlphin's crew had mistaken
the marines for the enemy. Someone
had to signal the vessel at once. a
youns marine sergeant, named John
H. Quick, volunteered.
Standing on a ridge and fully ex-
posed to the Spanish fire, he made
three attempts to warn the ship be-
fore his wig-wag signals were seen.
Shots splashed up the sand around
his feet and clipped the branches of
a tree overhead. Eventually the Dol
phin changed the direction of its
fire. Quick was awarded a Medal OF
Honor.
Later this courageous marine fac
ed starvation during a strenuous
in the remote and hostile
island of Samar in the Philippines.
He played heroic part in the mem
orable landing of our naval forces
at Vera Cruz, Mexico, in 1914. for
which he was highly commended and
eventually reached the battlefields of
France.
Twenty years, almost to the day,
after he dared death and Spanish
bullets in Cuba, he volunteered to
take a load of ammunition into a |
town near Belleau Wood, over a |
road swept by artillery and machine |
gun fire. winning two more decora-
ions for his feat. Quick died soon
