Ship Sends
SOS East OF
Cape Henry

Chatham, Mass, March 14.-(AP)
An SOS from ship giving the
name of Belnor, tentatively identi-
fled as a Norwegian motor ship of
1878 tons, which gave its position
as between 600 and 700 miles due
east of Care Henry, Va, was picked
up today by the Radio Marine sta
ton here.
simultaneously, Mackay Radio at
Thomaston, Maine, picked up the
same distress call. The hurried sig
nails gave no details, except the mes
sage picked up by Mackay said the
radio room was filled with water.
The maritime bureau of the Bos-
ton Chamber of Commerce said
Norwegian motor ship by the name
of Belnor was owned by Ballshjps
Company, Ltd, and had been in the
sugar trade between Atlantic coastal
ports and Cuba.
The Chambers records listed her
as built in England in 1880 and adj
ded she was 300 feet long, with a
46-foot beam.
Later Mackay intercepted mes
sages between the Belnor and the
freighter Excalibur, indicating the
former had been fighting heavy seas
and that her No. | hatch was broken.
She asked immediate assistance.
The Excalibur was 300 miles
northeast of the stricken ship.

Washington, March 14.-(AP)-
President Roosevelt, describing the
relief situation as very serious"
told the law-making branch today
that responsibility for appropriating
sufficient money to carry on WPA
until July l, RESTS, of necessity" on
Congress.
While not recommending d speci-
fic deficiency figure, the President,
in special message, asserted recent
data furnished MIN substantiated
the real need" Of his previous pro-
posal for an additional appropriation
of Sl50,000,000 This was the amount
cut by Congress from his original
January request for 1915, 100000 to
run WPA the last five months of
the fiscal year, and which he asked
to have restored in message Feb
ruary Z.
In his message today, Mr.. Roose-
welt said there had been no sub
Stantlal change in conditions of I'M
employment since then.
Immediately Senator Barkley, of
Kentucky, the Democratic leader,
predicted the Senate would vote the
S150,000,000. Senator McNary, of
Oregon, the Republican leader, said
the sum would be approved if it
were needed ''for relief and not for
politics."
Just before the Presidents mes
sage was read to the House, Repre-
sentative Cox, Democrat, Georgia,
said it was announced from the
floor he was introducing resolution
to broaden the powers of the APP
preparations committee SO as to
make possible a full investiEa ton
Of the WPA."
"The government of the United
States is faced with a condition
and not a theory" the chief execu-
tive declared. "The insufficiency OF
the money appropriated will compel
the administration to discharge about
100000 actual workers in the i'm
mediate future.
Il cannot bring myself to believe
that these discharged men and
women will contribute to the pros
perity of the United States, nor do
| believe that the merchants and the
landlords they are now dealing with
will become prosperous when their
trade ceases.
Therefore, the responsibility for
the situation, in which all of these
people will find themselves during
the coming three months rests, of
necessity, within the decision of the
Congress of the United States

Washington, March 14.-There are

Raleigh, March 14.-(AP) - The
House passed the biennial approp-
riations bill by a voice vote today
after increasing funds for vocational
education and the weights and meas

the Senate.
The representatives rode rough
shod over economy advocates on the
vocational education item. Then,

and measures funds increased from
$4,000 yearly to $3.50.
Amendments were put in increas-
ing per diem pay from 81 to $40 for

Carolina Teachers College, Fayette-
vile State Normal, commercial fish
cries, and the A. & T. College were
defeated. The vote was, "a to 10 to
add $4,000 to vocational education
fund.
The representatives at first seemed
determined to boost many other
funds after approving the COM
promise given them last night with
tne approval of Governor Hoey,
which raised funds for schools, the
University of North Carolina, the
advertising, Western Carolina Teach
ers College and North Carolina Col
