For Rain For
Raleigh Area

Raleigh, March 1-(AP)-Rainfa1l
at Raleigh and vicinity set new all
time high record for February, Lee
benson, head of the Weather Bureau
here, said today.
The precipitation totaled go in
ches, compared with a previous rec
ord of TAB inches in February, 1899.
The rainfall was more than an inch
greater than any month in 1888.
The unusually heavy rain caused
repeated heavy floods in rivers in the
eastern part of the state and did con-
siderable damage to tobacco seed
lings.
benson said the Cape Fear river
at Fayetteville would reach 43 feet,
eight in flood, within day or SO, and
the Neuse at Smithfield would go to
eight feet, five in flood.
The Roanoke at Weldon will be 81
feet, six in flood within two days,
and the Tar at Tarboro two feet in
flood by Saturday, at 20 feet. At
Greenville, the Tar will be Is feet,
three over its banks by Sunday.

the budget is balanced, temporarily

Representative Victor Bryant ask

To which the Commissioner Of

Whereas former Speaker Gregg
Cherry remarked loud enough for
those near him to hear: "Just wait
until it gets to the floor, we'll un-
balance it" The comment was more
or less facetious, but it may be even
more prophetic.

War Secretary Says

Chicago, March 1.-(AP)-,Assis-
tant Secretary of War Louis john
son said today the army had select
ed 10000 American manufacturing
plants "to make munitions whenever
the necessity may arise"
"Today these factories are engag-
ed in ordinary peace-time work. In
an emergency, they must be prepar-
ed to become veritable arsensals," he
said in an address prepared for de-
livery before the Chicago Association
of Commerce.
Johnson said the .s.army selected
plants with a record of efficiency,
honesty and cooperation" after a
survey of the American industrial
structure He said the army's needs
today were "the exact opposite from
1917, because then the Allies had the
materials but we're short of man
power; we had the men but were
without an adequate supply Of NUM-
tons. We came to terms"
Today, however, he said, ''the for
eign munitions markets are closed to
U.s." and particularly has this be-
come true of modern aircraft"
eff we suddenly needed military
weapons in quantity and with speed,
we would have to look entirely to
ourselves. 1t behooves us, therefore,
to develop our own munitions"
