IF not completely reducing to shay
,ings, the $4,000 biennial app: opria-
..tion for advertising North Carolina
has started one of the stiffest m nor
rows of the current session.
In fact. there ere defenders of the
advertising fund who viii. no doubt
take exception to the use Of the ad-
elective minor in this connection,
80 we'll sold are they on the neces-
,sity and importance Of the adver-
Using program.
. In the contest there stand on the
one side those who contend Cd that
the avertising prog.,m is political
set-up for the benefit of a favored
few, to whom JOBS are given; (2) that
the program is nothing but ballyhoo
for a few private resorts which ought
to advertise at their own expense;
,.C3) that it brings few tangible re-
suits; and az that the State can't af-
ford to pay for the program even if
it's good.
sons urged against the spending of q
quarter mil ion every two years.
i But even to state this qua,tet of
arguments is to those who believe in
the program just like praising Roose-
welt to a Wall Street broker.
To Point l they reply that in the
last Democratic primary every single
one of the three major gubernatorial
candidates advocated the program.
They further cite os Exhibit A to re-
flute the plum" angle that the on y
really juicy job created under the
advertising program was given to Bill
Sharp, notorious Mcdonald sup
porter. No political reward there,
they say.
. On Point they are just as positive
.ir their rebuttlal. Cited as substan-
tial disproof of the "mere ba lyhoo"
charge is the reported and continu-
Gus. use of State advertising material
by such publications as the Boston
christian Science Monitor, Ken, Col

Press the King Feature Syndicate
and other news and picture organ
:i7ations noted throughout the coun7
try fer their refusal to deal with
.ballyhooing press agents and for con-
firming their contents to true news
and International articles and pic
stures.
AS for results, the gist of Point 8,
1T is argued strongly that the adver-
ttising program has brought an in
crease in tourist business to the
State, that it has dispersed this bus

through the kitchen we dashed

Greedy, whom we passed in the
pantry, thought we had gone stark,
,raving mad. Mac, however, did not
stop to explain. He grabbed the
housekeeper by the hand and pulled
her after us. The poor woman's
feet flew over the ground and she
moaned and groaned, but had no
choice but to follow.
"Now." said Mac, when we had
reached the trash barrel. "When
was this last emptied, Mrs. Gree
ly?"
She gasped for breath. "A week
ago. 1t is emptied every Thursday"
"Then it hasn't been emptled
since Mrs. Witherspoon's death"
'No. The man will pick it up
some time this afternoon"
Good" He loosened her hand
and began pulling great wads OF
waste matter from the barrel. With
extraordinary patience he sorted
through the unsig;htly mess. Then,
az this method proved slow and
tedious, he caught hold of the bot
. tom and rolled the barrel over and
over until the contents were scat
tered in a heap upon the ground.
And in the end the search was
for nothing! There was no cyanide
in the barrel, nor, according to
scent, distinctly almondless, had
there ever been. It was a depressed
detective who began stufing the
trash back into it's containcr.
Bored, I turned away, when a
shout from Mac shot me a foot
into the air. He was holding some
thing in his hand, and staring at
it. moved closer. The something
was a glove, a mans leather glove.
It was new glove, fleece lined.

Deportation Hearing SIat. ed for Anti-Ndzi
 Sailor

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. 30.- A deportation hearing for Erich Rix, an anti-Nazi German Amer ican seaman, has opened before United States Immigration Inspector Farrelly. Rix is charged with con- cealing a criminal record when he obtained citizenship papers
 The Government introduced a German court record showing that Rix was fined 4,500 paper marks in 1921 for the possession of 30 pounds of flour. His family quota under the food rationing laws of the time was 10 pounds. The fine equalled fifty cents at the prevailing rate on paper marks.
 A section of the German record shows that Rix was convicted of at tempting treason in 1884.
 Rix claims the attempted treason consisted of membership in labor union. He claimed that his anti Nazi activities in the United States resulted in the deportation proceed ings against him. Attorneys for the seaman asked a 60-day delay to prepare a defense for Rix. The Sail ors Union of the Pacific provided him with bail and is financing his defense.
