Tax Exempt
For
Electric Line
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Dec. 10.-There is a plan
afoot to ask the 1889 General Assem-
bly, to authorize a subsidy, in the form
of tax exemption, to private power
companies willing to undertake rural
electrification projects which are just
on the borderline of feasibility from
the financial standpoint.
If this plan natures, as now seems
not unlikely, the expected debate over
election law reform, sales tax re-
vision and increased spending for
schools will seem gentle zephyrs when
compared with the hurricane of red
faced oratorical wind which will all
but literally lift the roof off the Capt.
toll building.
Just imagine the cries of tool-of-the-
power trust, paid-agents-of-the-po
lobby which self-styled liberals and
defenders of the public veal against
the alleged plunderbund of vested in
terests will raise!
Calmly critical observers do not
really expect the proposal to be put
so badly, but there is growing be-
lief in well-informed circles that some
form of subsidization is going to be
necessary before much more progress
in rural identification can be made
in North Carolina.
The reason is simple enough. Rural
identification projects in the State
quite naturally fall into three groups:
% Those which cover sufficient ter
ritory and serve sufficient number
of customers to be profitable, or at
least, financially feasible to operate:
xryh; -
along the borderline of financial de-
STABILITY for operation; and (3) those
which are obviously impossible from
the standpoint of paying their way
Those projects in group one have
been practically completed, either by
private utilities, municipalities or CO.
operatives under Federal REA aus
pices
It is, therefore, clear that further
progress in the State is strictly limit
ed to projects in group two, as those
in group three clearly cannot now be
undertaken.
All of which raises the question of
! a subsidy. Also the question of whom
to substitute, and how
Those who favor private utilities are
seriously planning to introduce bill
at the coming session of the legisla-
ture authorizing exemption from taxa
ton (for a period of years, at least)
of rural identification projects under
taken by private utilities
If and when they do, the storm will
break and the 1889 General Assembly
will be the scene of one of the noisiest
if not bitterest debates on record.
The State Rural Identification Au-
thority is keeping just as far away
from participation in any such wran-
gle as humanity possible; but it is not
in the least difficult to get from either
its Director Dudley Bagley or its En-
gineer J. M. Granger the flat state
ment that the point has been reached
where further extension of rural cleo
trio lines in North Carolina depends
upon a change in present policey-
either by the state or by the Federal
authorities.

Kuling Resort,
Are Removed

Shanghai, Dec. 10.-(AP)-Evacua-
ton of 90 foreigners, about one third
of whom were Americans, from the

Washington, Dec. 10.-(AF)-State
Department officials concerned by re-

barter oil to Germany for machinery
and chemicals, asked Ambassador
Josephus Daniels today for a 1ull re-
port.
This government interest arises
from the fact that the oil was pro-

owned companies, and no conpensa-

Reorganization
Defeat Again
Is Predicted

Washington, Dec. 10.-(AP)-Some
Of the Senators who opposed the ad-
illustrations reorganization bill in
the last congress predicted today the
defeat of any new proposal to give
President Roosevelt a free hand to re-
shuttle Federal Bureaus.
The president told a press confer
ence yesterday that he would recon-
mend to the new congress enact
ment of a reorganization bill, but said
he had no idea whether there would
be any fundamental changes from the
measures which envoked a heated con
trOversy last session.
In that connection, Mr.. Roosevelt
commented that every one agrees
that the governments machinery
should be more efficient.
Senator McNary, Republican ct
Oregon, the minority leader, echoed
this view but added:
Everyone is for reorganization i
it will promote the efficiency of gov
eminent and reduced the cost there ot.
Everyone is willing to give a preSl-
dent the power to abolish offices anG
bureaus, transfer and amalga am ate
the function of bureaus"
But in my opinion majority of con-
gress wants to have some control Of
arbitrary decisions by the president.

DaladierGets
New Vote Of
Confidence
Three Courses Left
Open to French Pre-
mier as Deputies Split
Over Strike Measures
and Fight With Italy

raris. Dec. 19-(AP)-Premier Dala-
dior called out a now but fragile ma
ioritv in the Chamber of Deputies to-
day. enabling him 70 carry on his
strike measures and his fight against
Ialv's colonial ambitions.
The strong man" of France, never
thclcss, appeared to be the political!
prisoner Of his own divided radical
socialist party.
In a session of the Chamber, which
lasted until 2:25 a. M. the best Dala-
der could reach from the quarreling
shouting deputies was a majority Of
r. votes out of the Chambers 618.
The vote of confidence was 315 to
241
His new majority was based or con-
scrvative support, ranging all the way
from his own moderately conserva-
tive party to the extreme right French
social party.
The socialist and communist, who
formerly joined with radical socialist
to form the peoples front voted solid
II against Daladier. The premier
seemed to be faced with three pos
sible roads, all fraught with danger
l. He may continue with the present
shaky majority
. He may ask President Lebrun
and the Senate to dissolve the Cham
ber and go back to the people for new
elections.
8. He may resign in the hopes Of
forming a new government, based on
more solid ground.
The last two steps, however, would
only be last resorts" his associates
indicated.

Rome, Dec. 1O.-(AP)-The authori-

an Italian demand today for a share

citing figures showing that Italian

Hull One Keynoter

Foreign Ministers of

Scheduled to Address
Pan-American Session
at Peruvian Capital

Lima, Peru, Dec. 10-(AP)@The
Pan-American conference looked to
Secretary Corden Hull and the for
eign ministers of Argentina and Peru
today for keynote speeches, Chart
ing course for the p Republics Of
the western hemisphere.
Delegates thronged this hill RIM
med Peruvian capital, evinced deep
interest in the three speeches sche-
duled for a late afternoon session,
which was expected not only to call
for a closer Pan-American coope "a
ton, but perhaps indicate how far tie
respective governments were willing
to go in that direction.
With Secretary Hull on the second
day conference program were foreign
Minister Jose Marie Cantilo, of A.
gentine, and DR.. Carlos Concha, for
eign minister of Peru.
Peru's dynamic president, Oscar
Benavides, opened the conference
amid colorful pageantry yesterday
with the assertion that the western
hemisphere wishes to be strong in
order to be respected"
Not stressing the community of
ideals and interest that link Amesi-
can nations he was careful to say
such unity did not cut the western
hemisphere off from the rest of the
world.
Soon after the formal opening, as
slstant secretary of State, Adolf
Berle, Jr., told radio audience that
the United States was not seeking mil
itary alliance with the Latin Ameri-
can republics
Such course was "out of the uues-
tion," Berle asserted denying rumor
he said were current.
