Bill Waited

Washington, Feb. 8.-(AP) THE
House overwhelmingly defeated a
Republican attempt today to cripple
the National Labor Relations Board
by eliminating it's $3,O39,6OO appropria
ton for the next fiscal year The
standing vote, announced as 1856 to 5,
came after House Majority Leader
Rayburn had taken the floor and ap-
pealed to the membership not to "as-
sassinate" the board in such a man
ner.
Representative Tabor, Republican,
New York, senior minority member
of the House Appropriations Commit
tee, led the fight to strike out the
item with the declaration that the
funds should be withheld until the
labor relations law can be amended
so both industry and labor would be

Raleigh, Feb 8.-Organization of a
militant Senate group to fight pro-
posed slashing of appropriations for
the State advertising program is we'll
under way, and there promises to de-
velop one of the keenest skirmisheS
of the General Assemblys current ses-
sion.
Logically interested in the matter
by virtue of his post as chairman of
the Senate Committee on Conserva-

Emmett H. Bellamy, of New Han

actively campaign to restore the $780,
600 cut from the $25O,OO0 recommend
ed by the budget commission for adj
vertising the State during the next

The Bellamy announcement brought
immediate and favorable reaction
from a number of senators-among
them d. B. Fearing, of Dare, and S.

small counties which have been great

Raleigh, Feb. S-(AP)-The Ger~

Long. of Halifax, today a bill to re-

riage licenses in North Carolina must
pass physical examinations The meas
ure would require persons to be free,

Each division received bills to
abolish the present State Advisory

Raleigh, Feb. 8-For one reason
and another, maybe several others,
there hasn't been a great deal of
noise about teachers salaries, retire
ment for teachers, ninth and tenth
year increments for teachers, the
twelfth grade, restoration of salaries
to pre-depression levels, and all the
other more or less controversial an
giles of school affairs
But it's just about time for these
subjects to get more serious consid-
Grafton from the legislature, and it
won't be long now before therell be
plenty of disturbance over all these
subjects.
Nobody is making any flat state
ments about the chances of any of the
many proposals. There is a general
belief that schools and teachers will
be lucky to keep what they now have
in the matter of salaries, while there
are those who see so many practical
difficulties that a twelfth grade al
this time looks very, very dubious.
Nobody can be found who doesn't

Of

London, Feb. 8.-(AP)-A Brit
ish cruiser arrived today at
Minorcas disputed island in the
Spanish BaIearics, while the Lon
don cabinet considered measures
to prevent Italy and Germany
from obtaining control of the is
lands. At the same time officials
acknowledged that Britain had
asked Spanish Insurgent General
Franco to agree to truce in the
civil war. But they declined to
disclose whether Franco had re-
piled, or, if he had, what his an

frontier.
The renewed fighting followed the
breakdown of peace efforts yesterday
and a declaration by DR.. Negrin, pre-
mier of government Spain, that he
would fight to the finish rather than
submit to insurgent demands for I'M
conditional surrender.
The action drew artillery and war
anes into battle in the snow-cOvered
Pyrenees, from which government
militiamen, including cavalry and in
fantry units, were withdrawing into
France. Reports reaching the border
said the battle started with an ex-
change of shots between the govern
ment rear guard and in5urgent field
gun units, which were approaching
Quicerda.
Shortly afterwards, insurgent planes
joined the fight, strafing the north
bound militiamen, while government
artillery poured shell into insurgent
positions.

President Roosevelt should not have

that the senators who attended it
would tell about it to the newspaper

tensify interest in the event, thereby
