Proposals But Little
of Concrete Nature
Done by Legislature

Raleigh, Jan. 81. = (AP)-The
House and Senate held brief perfume
tory sessions this morning with on y
handful of assemblymen present.
Each division met, adjourned to meet
again Monday night at 8 o'clock, fol-
lowing afternoon meetings of COM
mittees. There were no new House
bills, but two new local measures
were passed by the representatives
and sent to the Senate.
Meanwhile, a multiplicity of pro-
posals and a scarcity of concrete de-
We opments marked the third week of
the Assembly. Observers looking
back saw but three definite actions:
/. The Assemblymen approved a
bill exempting veteran Unemploy-
ment Compensation Commission en-
ployees from the requirement that
they take merit examinations in ord
cd to hold their jobs. (Iowever, the
commission advised it's employees to
take the examinations, which begin
today)
In the Senate, Rodman, of Beau
fort, and Gregory, of Rowan, intro
duced three bills, amended the un-
act and passed on third reading two
local measures.
The Rodman and Gregory proposals
were identical with thre amendments
to the unempioymenc compensation
statutes introduced in the House Fri
day. The amendments change the
basis of benefits, provide an "em
ployer merit rating system for keep
ing funds, and make provisions for
seasonal industry.
A local bill by iRodman to allow the
Beaufort county commissioners to set
tie damages done by fire to a stors
used as a school building was passef.
and sent to the House.

Hitler continued today his policy of
eradication of the conservatism of DR..

increase Germany's armed strength
with a decree that every able-bodied

The fuehrer removed from the

Schacht, ousted yesterday from the

Both Dreyse, the boards oldest

beaten" out of them when the ques-
tion of slashing $15O,OOO,0OO from the
WPA fund asked by President Roose-
welt reaches the Senate floor, Senator
Adams, Democrat, Colorado, conced
ed ruefully today.
Adams is chairman of the Senate
subcommittee which yesterday fol-
lowed the action of the House of Re-
preventative and voted $725,OO0,O0O
instead of the $875 100000 requested by
Mr.. Roosevelt to operate the work re-
lief agency through June 80. The
Coloradan, who voted for the reduc-
ton, predicted it probably would be
approved today by the full Senate APP
propriations Committee But, he ad-
ded:
"The committee will probably get
the whey beaten out of it on the floor
of the Senate, as it usually does when
it makes an honest effort to
economize"
The Senate vote will be the first
test of sentiment there toward any
part of the Presidents program of
continued large SCdle spending.
Nine More Years of 1t.
Mayor LaGuardia of New York
thinks the governments work relief
program will have to be continued for
nine years. This was disclosed with
the publication of testimony before
the Senate Appropriations sub-com-
mittee, which considered the WPA
appropriation bill.
LaGuardia said his nineyear esti-
mate was a guess, but that, with
perfecting the social security program
and improvement in business, it
should be possible to terminate the
relief program in that period.
The 10th Congress concluded its
third week amid multiplying signs
the Democratic peace-makers faced a
tremendous task in their efforts to
achieve party harmony before the
1910 campaigns. The two major sub
jects of congressional action, the re-
lief appropriation and President
Roosevelt's appointments brought
boiling to the surface the bitterness
generated by the court bill fight two
years ago. and accentuated last sum-
mer by New Deal efforts to defeat un-

years ago reads with surprising application to the Hitlerian credo.
 How laudable it is," wrote Mic colo, flor 8 prince to keep good faith and live with integrity, and not with astuteness, everyone knows. Still the experience of our times shows those princes to have done great things who have had little regard for good faith, and have been able by astuteness to confuse mems brains, and who have ultimately overcome those who have made loyalty their foundation"
 And again, Therefore pru. dent ruler ought not to keep faith when by so doing it would be against his interest, and when the reasons which made him bind himself no longer exist. Nor have legitimate grounds ever failed prince who wished to show color able excuse for the 1lon- -fulfillment of his promise. Of this one could furnish an indefinite number of modern examples. . ."
 CHRONOLOGY
 OF CONTRAST
 At any rate, here is 8 Hitler chronology of word and deed since 1883:
 February, 1933-Hitler dissolves the reichstag, assumes complete power, and promises "to firmly protect Christianity as the founda- tion of our entire morality"
 May, 1933-Hitler: Germany has only a single desire - namely, to preserve its independence and protect its borders"
 January, 1884 - Just before the Saar plebiscite, Hitler: After the solution of this question the Ger man government is willing and determined to accept in its inner most soul as well as external for mutation the Pact of Locarno." Gocarno provided that all bor- der disputes in western Europe were to be subject to arbitration or conciliation, never to force.)
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-05-16

The Saar voted German, and was formally returned to the reich by the league of nations. Hitler said we have no more territorial claims to make of France"
 February, 1885 - The military articles of the Treaty of Versailles were scrapped by Germany, in March the secretly built air force was announced and conscription restored.
 May, 1935-Hitler solemnly de- clareS that after having repudiated the arms provisions of Versailles, that Germany will "uncondition- ally respect all other articles, in- cluding territorial provisions until the, inevitable revision can be achieved by peaceful understand ing. He reiterated his adherence to the Locarno pacts.
 March, 1886 - German troops reoccupied the demilitarized zone of the German side of the Rhine land. Hitler: We have no terri torial demands to make in Europe. Germany has neither the wish nor the intention to mix in internal Austrian affairs, or to annex or
