According to the chart the North
Carolina record showed three per
cent decrease, from 756 to 731
| deaths.
Both neighbors, South Carolina
and Virginia, had worse records
than in 1888, Virginia standing 18th
with a IL percent increase and
South Carolina 10th with an 18 per-
cent rise in highway deaths.
Ronald Hocutt, director of High
way Safety Division, said that three
years ago North Carolina was fourth
from the bottom on similar chart.
It's not particularly new, far
from a scoop, in fact; but there are
quite recent indications that Libby
Wards study Of the coming guber-
material race is much more serious
than has been generally believed
Libby is said to have gone so
far as to tell friends that he has
decided to make the race unless
there is a decided pickup in in
terest evoked by the present crop
Of suspected candidates.
His view seems to be that no
body in the group has struck
really responsive chord in the pub
lie breast; and that there's a splen-
lid chance for some one with color
and political organizing ability to
rake a great showing as a dark
horse.
If Libby should get into the
sweepstakes, he can be counted on
to make much of the fact that he
is the only candidate from the low
sr southeastern section of the State,
which section, he will emphasize,
has not had a governor in many,
many years.
Ehringhaus, Of course, was from
the far east, but that was the far
northeast. Libby rode geography
1uite neatly in his winning contest
for speaker.
From up in the mountains comes
word that the biggest bear in "them
hills" hasn't been seen this year and
is keeping strictly to the unhabitated
ridges of the uplands.
Says Bill Sharpe Of the State News

in the little town of Syla this fall.
Even the famed Plot bear dogs sniff
the air sadly and with little zest
Honest John has not come down
from the ridges this year and no bear
hunting season is complete without
chance to chase the willy monarch,
of the Balsam mountains"
1t seems that Honest John is the
biggest bear of them all; that he us

pointment of qualified Negroes to

Ishnael p. Flory, secretary treasurer
Of the Joint Council Dining Car
Employees unions, in Il letter sent
Wednesday to Elmer r. Andrews,
administrator Of the Wage and Hour
division Of the U. S. Department Of
Labor.
After pointing out that no Me-
groes were appointed to the commit
tee for the apparel industry, in
which colored workers have place,
Mr.. Flory declared:
1T is our conviction that there
should be at least one representative
on all industry committees repre-
sentative Of the interests Of the Ne
gro workers and the Negro people
whose interests are frequently ig-
nored and not safeguarded. II is
our hope that is the future when
such committees are appointed, care
full attention will be given to this
question.
We want to especially raise the
question Of the railroad industry
where there are tens Of thousands
Of Negro workers denied member
ship in the most Of the standard rail-
road unions who could not hope to
get adequate and democratic repre-
sentation if the Negro workers and
the Negro people are to be left out
Of consideration IN the appointments

STATE :

Performances this evening at the Warner Bros. State theater con- cludes the engagements of Paris Honeymoon" starring Bing Crosby at the chad of an ail-star cast; also Humphrey Bogart in King of the Underworld"
 Tomorrow the State ushers in an- other of its super-shows of the new season with the gay, tuneful comedy Going Places starring Dick Powell Cast opposite Powell in the leading feminie role is beautiful Anita Louise. The remainder of the cast is composed primarily of comedians including such experts in that line as Allen Jenkins, Walter Catlett, Harold Huber, Thurston Hall and Minna Gombell. Also portraying a featured role is Ronald Reagan, who characterizes the one serious char acter in the whole story.
 Sharing the musical honors with Powell are those two great colored swingsters, Louis Armstrong, who has no peer as a hot trumpet play CT, and Maxine Sullivan, the vel yety-voiced songstress who special izes in swinging" folk songs. Inci- dentally this is the first motion pic. ture in which Miss Sullivan has ap- peared. .
 Four new songs will be heard throughout the course of the film as well as a hot novelty number Nut ing in the Nursery, in which Arm- strong and Miss Sullivan, as well as a dusky swing band and chorus, dc their stuff. In this number Arm- strong and his sizzling trumpet gc to town with syncopated swing in- Expectations of nursery rhymes, and Miss Sullivan gives her own version of swing in soft melodying of many childhood rhymes.
 The whole thing finally develops into a big jam session with Powell and Anita Louise also taking part.
 The comedy angle centers around Powell's adventures with a horse You'll laugh yourself sick as you see him masquerading as a famous Australian Steeplechase rider and at tending the Maryland Steeplechase The resulting complications are fast and furious with wind-up that has seldom been equalled in the annuals of screen comedy.
 On the: same show as the second big hit will be the red-hot news paper drama, of The Record" CO., starring Pat O'Brien and Joan Blondell. Bobby Jordan, the erst- while Angel" of the "Dead End kids also plays a featured part in this lively newspaper yarn which is considered to be exciting entertain ment for the whole family. Others in the cast include Alan Baxter Morgan Conway, William Davidson and Moroni Olsen.

NEW AERIAL TRUCK MAKES FIRST RUN
Laddermen Standby as Chemical Crew Extin-
 guishes Fire in Auto

Its paint gleaming and its chrom- ium shining, Waterbury's new aerial ladder truck went into action for the first time at SAP yesterday morning. An alarm has been received from Box A, at South Main and Clay streets, and the truck was one of the pieces of apparatus answer ing the call.
 The alarm proved to be for an automobile fire and the truck s services were not needed. The car, was owned by Harvey Fontaine, of 8 Slocum street.
 The new truck is manned on the day shift by Private Walter Whit taker and Private Bernard Coyle, driver and tillerman. On the night shift, Private James Flynn and Pri- vate Edward Lynch are the opera tors.
 The truck was placed in, service at headquarters on Field street after being accepted by the fire board following number of tests.
 A workshop and shed in the rear of the home of Peter Garrity, Is Fort Hill avenue, was levelled by fire shortly before 1 o'clock this morning. Acting Deputy Chief Ste- phen Bloomfield directed four c0n- panies of firemen, who managed to save an adjoining garage, that had also caught fire.
 Two minor fires were extinguiSh- ed Saturday afternoon and evening, one chimney fire at the home of Mrs. Alexandrina Lanouette, 17 West Liberty street, the other eel lar fire at 634 Bank street.

ulation had only private bankers. Giannini acquired the East River National Bank, put his brother, Dr.. A. H. Giannini, at its head and in quick succession bought up several other small banks.
 By 1926 the Bank of Italy in California had 289 branches in 165 cities. It was the biggest b.rkislg thing outside of New York ane the largest branch bank in the United States.
 And at this point-perhaps earlier began to have the ideas which render him significant, which renders the coming s. E. c. episode significant and which, in way, con- stitute him a sort of national issue.
 For Giannini, seeing how lsily and swiftly he had blanketed Cali fornia with his branches, came to the conclusion that one day he would blanket the nation with them.
 He was convinced that the small, locally ly-owned unit bank was doom- ed and that, as he said lster, it was merely question of time when 10 or 12 big parent banks would own all the banks in the country with branches from coast to coast. Of course the Bank of Italy would be the greatest of these.
 The branch bank and the hold ing company bank idea had been catching on in America. Some state laws were passed permitting ;r+-.te bank branches. But the Federal banking system resisted the move ment.
 Finally the government held that
