Raleigh, Jan. 16.-Friends and foes
of diversion-continge or uncondi-
tional disguised or unashamed-are
marshaling their forces for a show
down in the legislature this week.
First move in this direction is likely
to be made at tonight's House ses-
sion through introduction of re-
solution that it is the sense of the
legislature that it is 'in favor of US
ing all money derived from gasoline
sales and automobile license fees on
the public roads"
Those may not be the exact words
(your correspondent hasn't seen them)
but that will be the general tenor OF
the resolution. The words are taken
from a statement by Governor Clyde
r. Hoey quoted in '"The Car Owner

Raleigh, Jan. 16.-The current Sc ;

sembly has accomplished as much and
seems to be about as far along its
normal path as the 1887 Assembly
at the corresponding period of its
session, in the opinion of most legis-
lative leaders and observers.
Typical of this view is the opinion
of Victor S. Bryant, Durham who
was finance chairman in 1887, and
who has taken an active part in out
lining and explaining this session s
fiscal policies.
II don't think we're much, if any,
behind our 1887 pace" he said.
Mr.. Bryant said this session should
be concluded in reasonably short or

parture from the revenue and appro-

Rome, Jan. 16.-(AP)-Italy's ant
French campaign gained new I'M
petus today with newspaper threats
that Italians might avenge "French
insults with guns"
The press attacks came as Italy
made an insurgent victory in the
Spanish civil war the price for settling
her quarrel with France over colonial
influence in the Mediterranean.
Newspapers unanimously publish
ed defiant protests against statement
attributed by Paris newspaper to
an ANONYMOUS French officer that ten
Italian soldiers were hardly enough
to fight one retired Frenchman.
Virginia Gayda, one of Italy's most
responsible editors, wrote that French
hatred of Italy was breeding Italian
hatred of France until Finally the
rifles will go off by themselves"
Italy's determination not to settle
her quarrel with France until the
Spanish war ended successfully be-
came apparent with publication by
the foreign office of a bulletin out
lining what Mussolini told Prime Min
lister Chamberlain in their converse
tons last week.
Some diplomatic circles thought
that the stiffening of Italian attitude
was a consequence of encouraging in
surgent advances in the Barcelona of
fensive They also saw again dan
ger that the Spanish conflict could be-
come a general European conflict.
