Of
Diversion To
Battle Hard
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel

Raleigh, Jan. From the weller
of conversation and gossip concern
ing the Legislative session opening to-
morrow at noon, there energies the
certainty that opponents of the diver
sion of highway funds are girding
themselves for one of the hardest
fights of the Assembly.
Difficulties of the anti-diversion; SITS
have been more than doubled by two
important factors. First. Governor
Clyde r. Hoey has taken one of the
strongest stands he ever took on any
controversial issue, and this stand is
squarely against the amendment
wanted by the anti-diversionists; and
second, the legislators are going to
be SO hard pressed to find money to
meet requests for increased spending
that it's going to be very, very hard
to keep their hands off that easiest
way"-just dip into the highway
funds and come up with the coin
needed for any given purpose.
With these difficulties in mind, the

Raleigh, Jan. 3-Despite the multi
plicity of issues to be met and solved
by the North Carolina General AS
sembly which will convene tomorrow
at noon, there is small likelihood that
the session will last much, if any,
beyond the 60-day period during
which the lawmakers are entitled to
draw ten dollars per diem.
Not that the members will chuck Il
and leave just because they will be
'on their own so far as pay is concern
ed, but because there is strikingly
absent from professionally gossip the
one thing which keeps legislatures
in session far, far beyond the normal
period.
In short, there seems only an ou;-
side chance that there will develop
any controversial angle regarding the
States general system of taxation. A
brief and casual review of previous
sessions shows that this is the one
thing which gets the assem- ly into a

She looked up into his eyes. They
were black and grim. His lips were
grim, too. Margaret didn't like his
expression. 1t frightened her
frightened her more than the mere
fact of Kinks death. There were a
hundred questions she wanted to
ask, a hundred doubts she desired
to voice.
Jim Owenby nodded to the others
and walked down to the lagoon.
They made way for him and he
looked down upon the body of the
man who had murdered his best
friend. 1t wasn't pleasant sight,
but Jim's face gave no hint of his in
ner feelings. He did not touch the
body, simply looked. He saw the
narrow, deep cash in the throat. He
saw a cut under the right eye. A
cut and bruise, as though it had
been caused by the impact of a fist.
Unimportant, that bruise. The knife
wound in the throat. had caused
Kinks death.
Jim Owenby turned away abrupt
ly. He rejoined the others, and with
them greeted Sheriff Griffin. The
sheriff was short and broad and
stocky. He had keen gray eyes and
spoke with pronounced drawl. He
