Vote Reform
Bills To Get
Full Hearing
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel
Rv TVNN NTSRET

Raleigh, Feb. 2.-Wi;h one bill for
outright repeal of everything that
sounds like "absentee" and upwards
of 20 loca. bills exempting counties
from the absentee vote wv in pri-
maries, the House Elections Commit
tee is really gong to work Friday
morning. Anticipating a hard day,
the committee starts early and will
assemble at $50. If present plans
are carried through, everything be-
fore the committee will be consider
ed then, and a Subcommittee or two
named to study specia- phases of pro-
posed legislations x
If the absentee ballot survives that
inquisition, there will be many sur
priSed people hereabouts. Chairman
George w. Phillips, of the House
Committee on Elections and Election
Laws, would not be dsp eased if the
board of elections program was en-
acted in toto. He rather expects
that his committee will eliminate the
absentees in primaries and retain
them in general elections. The eff
feet of this will be, in the opinion of
some legislators, to say that it is all
right to steal from Republicans, but
not from Democr,ts. Most of them
may actually believe that, but they
haven't the candor of Elections
Board Member Bel, who last week
said the western Democrats had to
keep the elbsentee privi ege or get
beat. Of two evils he chooses the
lesser-and would keep the aosentees
working.
On the Senate side there isn't near
ly so much expressed sentiment for
election law reform. The Senate has
only one bill, that by the one-time
Mcdonald chieftain, Willie Lee Lump

ANSWERS.

1. 1t would be repealed automati-
cally. The governor would be requir-
ed to issue a proclamation announc-
paid under this act would then go to
the general fund of the State.
2. The delegation to the constitu-
tional conventional at Philadelphia in
1887 favored a longer term and in
eligibility for reelection. When the
four-year term was adopted North
Carolina was the only state to vote
against it.
8. In 1900. No parsonages were pro-
vided and salaries of only $4,000 were
paid.
4. 1t was complained that members
of the legislature had increased their
pay too much. Under the crown they
had drawn per diem of six shillings
and six pence, or about seventy five
cents. BY 1904 they had increased
their pay to thirty shillings, with ten
shillings being worth a dollar This
"extravagancy' was sending he State
along the road of destruction"
5. Both of them were defeated and
Lee S. Overman was elected. Locke
Craig and Jeter c. Pritchard had can
vassed the State in an exciting cam.
paign, both seeking the election
which was then at the hands of the
legislature
6. 1t was a secret political society
of the Reconstruction period and
more generally known as the Red
Strings. 1t was organized among the
whites, and was active in support of
Governor Holden and his carpetbag
cohorts. Its allied organization among
the Negroes was the Union League.

kin, for outright repeal of absentee
voting. Chairman Morphew who
has repeatedly expressed satisfaction
with the status quo in western cleo
tion procedure, does not expect to
call his Senate committee together
until they get the House bills. Indi-
cations now are that they'll reach the
Senate early next week. If the
House is too drastic, Senator Nor
phew's boys will alleviate damage to
absentees as much as possible.

To A Modern Apostle of Laissez-Faire

lary of poor mortals have, at various times in
lives, earnestly 1onged for that supernatural
gift Of mind-reading by which we could vivisect,

of conscience, indi gestion, insomnia.

BOMBS DAMAGE
 NAzI EMBASSY
Jap Planes Stage Moon- light Raid on Chung
 king
(Acme Telephoto)
By ROBERT P. MARTIN ,,;4od Drac, Stafp Corraenoydaut,


 Chungking, China, Aug. 4-CUP)- Japanese bombing planes damaged the German embassy and the French and British consulates and wrecked the home of an American newspaper correspondent today in a terrifying moonlight raid on the Chinese temporary capital.
 It was the third raid this week in the light of the full moon. Eighteen Japanese planes attacked the city at 2:10 a. m. Chinese pursuit planes rose swiftly and drove them off. At 2:50 second group of nine planes broke through the Chinese anti-air- craft defenses and bombed the city heavily, their fire centering on the Consulate road area. Chinese planes, ascending again, drove them off with machine gun fire in a running fight
 One bomb struck outside the Ger man embassy. It damaged the building severely and killed three Chinese. A building next to the em- bassy was hit.
 Another bomb struck between the French and British conSulates, and destroyed building which separates them. Ceilings of the consulates were town down and windows and doors smashed. This bomb killed four Chinese.
 Numerous buildings a block from the consulate area were set afire.
 A 2O0-pound demolition bomb struck 20 feet from the home of F. Tillman Durdin, correspondent for the New York Times. One side of the house was torn entirely of and the roof was ripped off in several places. Durdin, who comes from Fort Worth, Texas, his wife, a for mer student at Columbia university; New York and Edgar Snow, author of Red Star Over China" and other works, were uninjured.
 Other bombs hit near raid dugouts of the British embassy and the French consulate. None of those in the shelters, including embassy and consulate officials and British and French residents, were injured.
 Tn previous raids within the past weeR, Japanese planes, according to dispatches received here, had de- stroyed a French Catholic mission and hospital at Kweilin and dam aged the American Southern Bap- tist Stount Memorial hospital at Wuchow and the American Luth- eran mission at Kioshan.

BRITAIN MIGHT
 SHIP FLEET EAST
Chamberlain Intimates There May Be Need for
 One in Far East

London, Aug. 4-CUP) - Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, as- serting that 1t made his blood boil to read of some of the things hap pening in China, said in the house of commons today that in certain circumstances Great Britain might have to send a fleet to the Far East.
 Tt is hardly necessary for me to point out" he said, "the fundamen- tai difference between the United States and its isolation from Eu- rope and this country.
 This country has been forced to undertake heavy commitments in Europe, and if certain things hap pened we would have to go to war"
 It was impossible, he continued, to undertake the same liabilities in the Far East and therefore 1t was necessary to exercise patience in dealing with Japan.
 We must not forget that there are graver nearer problems to be considered in the course of the next few months" he explained.
 We must conserve our forces to meet any emergencies which may arise."
 Even in face of Japanese insults and injuries to Britons in China there were limits to what Britain could do at this time to help It's people there, he said, and added:
 "At the present moment we have not got a Far East fleet superior to that of the Japanese.
 we have such fleet here.
 "In certain circumstances we might find 1t necessary to send a fleet out there.
 Tt is not impossible that such circumstances might arise. but we much prefer to settle differences with the Japanese by discussion and negotiation, provided we can do so without sacrificing fundamental stfiftri147AA

SNOW STORM IN
 PLANE DESCRIBED

Washington, Aug. 4-(UP)-Naval officials received a report today of a snow storm inside plane while the sun shone at 5000 feet.
 The crew of one of the navy's giant PBY-3 patrol bombers took of one day last week from its Seattle, Wash base on a routine training flight The plane rose to 5000 feet where the pilot noticed a sudden drop in temperature.
 Soon, white particles began to drift about inside the plane.
 Outside the sun was shining, but the pilot finally realized that he was in the midst of a snoswtorm-inside his plane. Scientific explanation the sudden decline in temperature had quickly condensed the moisture in the planes atmosphere to form tiny snowfiakes which swirled about the cabin.

D.A.V. MEMBER TO
 WAR ON BUNDS

Boston, Aug. 4-(UP)-Chairman Roy P. Monahan of the American ism committee of the disabled Am erican veterans of the World War said today he was ready to contin- ue his drive against German Amer ican bunds despite warning from a Fascist leader" to cease such ef- forts.
 The warning, Monahan said, was included in a telegram which ac- cused him of being "a Communist who received his investigation funds from Russia" The telegram said that Monahan would be exposed as a Communist and also that 1t would be proved he "stole half of the moneey he received from Russia"
 Monahan charged that the tele- gram was evidence of the type Of man leading Fascist groups in this country"
 Meantime, Monahan, a New York lawyer here for the D A V national convention, was expected to confer with Governor Saltonstall and of- fer documentary evidence" giving names and addresses of bund agents throughout the state. He previously charged that bund Leader Fritz Kuhn was prepared to establish camps In Grafton and the Roxbury section Of Boston. 1.

SETTLEMENT OF
 STRIKE IS NEAR
South Barre, Mass, Labor Trouble Goes to Con-
 ference Today

Suth Barre, aMss., Aug. 4. (UP) Settlement of the stormy strike at the aBrre Wool Bombing com- pany's plant appeared nearer today as representatives of two contest ing unions and plant officials afireed to confer at the state house in Bos- ton.
 The situation here remained tense, however, with steel-helmeted state troopers guarding picketed mill gates and food supplies being sent in to non-strikers who feared to leave the plant. Of the mills 300 workers, union leaders says 800 are out while company officials place the number at 200.
 A national labor relations board investigator began gathering pre- liminary evidence yesterday in con- nection with four-month-old AFL charges that the concern has used unfair labor practices.
 These charges, apart from the present strike which was called in an effort to gain higher wages and return of four discharged workers, are specifically that the company sponsored a company union and that l3 workers were discharged be- cause they joined the AFL local.
 President Fritz H. Johnson of the South Barre Employees Union, in- dependent organization accused by the AFL of being company-con- trolled, announced he would protest vigorously if the NLBR should call an election during the strike to de- eide on which union should have collective bargaining rights.
 After a three-hour conference be- tween State Labor Commissioner James T. Moriarty and plant ofa- cials, Governor Saltonstall an- nounced last night that the union leaders and plant director Edward A. Robinson and Assistant-T -Treasur- CT H. Nelso Flanders of the Mill would meet with Moriarty today. z Flanders reused Saltonstall's ire after the strike began Monday by criticizing the state arbitration board. After q conference with the governor, 1t was agreed that nego- tiations should be conducted by Mcriarty. without the arbitration board.
