Rv HENRY AVERTLT,

Raleigh, March 13-North Caro-
lina's General Assembly has now
reached the point where final enact
ment of both big money bills rev
enue and appropriations is within
the bounds of possibility this week.
That both, or either, will be SO en-
acted, however, is not probable, in
view of amendments made in the
Senate to the House version of the
revenue bill, and to the further like
lihood that there will be differences
in the appropriations measures adopt
ed by the two branches.
The revenue bill will come up in
the Senate for third reading tonight
and will no doubt go through with
out change from its second reading
contents. 1t will thus vary from the
House bill by providing an estimated
$4,000 more in revenue.
Thus on Tuesday the bill can 60
back across the Bridge of Signs to
the House for concurrence or dis

Rayon Worst
Danger To
y. S. Cotton

Washington, March 13.-(AP)-N.
c. Williamson, president of the Amer
lean Cotton Cooperative Association,
told the House Agriculture Commit
tee today that rayon and other sub
stitutes constituted a grave danger
to the cotton industry.
'These substitutes form a more
serious threat than foreign produc-
ton in our foreign markets." Will
hanson said. "And when we raise
artltlcially the price of cotton, we
are encouraging these substitutes"
He saih rayon was replacing mar
kets for about 100000 bales of cot
ton and added that development OF
the southern pine industry was cut
ting cotton acreage appreciably. He
strongly endorsed the program ap-
proved by conference of growers
with Secretary Wallace here January
6. 1t included appropriation of be-
tween $400,000,000 and $500,000,000
annually for parity payments to cot
ton growers, reduction of the gov
eminent holdings of about 100000
bales of loan cotton, and transfer to
the Federal Surplus Commodities
Corporation Of 100000 bales from
the loan holdings.
Under questioning by Representa-
tive Coffee, Democrat, Nebraska, a
committee member, the witness a.
greed that the program of benefit
payments and subsidies had tended
to increase cotton production through
increased yields per acre.

Raleigh, March 13-North Caro-
lina'S legislators, men VINO keep
their ears to the ground in an eff
fort to detect the slightest change in
shades of opinion back home, are
widely split on their choice for q
presidential nominee in 1910, if a
survey of more than half a hundred
of them, chosen at random and rep
resenting every section of the State,
is any true criterion.
From the poll of this typical cross
section only one other fact seems to
stand out clearly-the lack of en-
thusiasm for any New Dealer. Pres
ident Roosevelt, who was the choice
of eight out of "a legislators, being
the only one of that ilk to get even
one vote.
North Cardinals popular Cover
nor Clyde r. HOey led the poll with
IA votes; but there is more than an
even chance this only goes to show
that the Tar Heels haven't really
made up their minds and are wait
ing to see just which way the politi-
cal cat will jump.

Both Money Bills May
Become Law This Week
House May Accept Without Conference
Amendments to Revenue Measure in Senate To
Boost Income $143, 900; More Money Is Really
Needed

agreement with the amendments. Or
dinarily it would be safe to predict
that the House would reject at least
some of the Senate changes, thus nee
essitating a conference, but in the in
slant case circumstances are such
that it would be no complete or as
funding surprise if the House should
concur.
Reason lies primarily in that $143,-
900 added revenue in the Senate YER
sion. That's enough money to take
care of the $4,000 annual increase
voted the Health Department by the
House and will help take care Of any
increase the University of North Car
DINA may wrangle out of the repre-
sentatives. Wherefore members of the
lower branch are looking with some
degree of favor on the changes.
Arguing against this action is the
vigor with which the House voted
down the tax on headache remedies

Record Set
In Speed Of
Revenue Bill
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
BY LYNN NISBET

Raleigh, March 13.-Setting a
record, not only in the amount Of
money involved in the bill, but in the
speed with which it went through the
Senate, that branch of the General
Assembly last Friday adopted the bill
on it's first and second readings in a
few minues less than ten hours
seven hours of actual consideration.
Chairman Pat Taylor, of the fl
nance committee, had said that if
left to him he would put the bill
through in half day. Not many
folks believed him. I wasn't left to
him exactuly, for there was rather
desperate effort of minority group
materially to amend it, but all such
attempts were frustrated
The anti-diversionists knew they
were waging a hopeless battle but
they kept fighting. Ballentine offered
the amendment that would have pre-
vented taking five million dollars of
highway money for general fund pur-
poses. He spoke rather listlessly for
it, then looked around the chamber
to find that two or three of his "sup-
porters" had lost all interest in the
matter. Vote was % to 10-and the
five million was gone.
Sales tax opposition also bobbed
up, but like the anti-diversionists,
the anti-sales takers were just keep
ing their record consistent. They
didn't have the rex Otest idea that

Washington, March 13.-(AP)-
President Roosevelt discussed with
Democratic leaders of Congress to-
day how much additional money
would be needed to operate WPA
until July l. The leaders told
newspaper men afterwards that the
President would send a message to
Congress tomorrow on the subject.
White House officials had said ear

er it would be completed by then.
Asked whether the message would
request the full $15O,OOO,OOO which
Congress cut from the Presidents
original 1915, 100000 request in Jan

"You will have to wait and see."
Others present at the conference

and Representative Rayburn, Ne
