special gubernatorial address to a
General Assembly on a controversial
subject since his predecessor, J. G. B.
Ehringhaus, made a dramatic appeal

A check-up in the principal clerks
offices revealed that through Satur
day there had been introduced in the
current House 158 bills, against 1854
for the corresponding period of 1887;
while on the Senate side the present
lawmakers had been introducing their
'1ittle bills" at slightly faster pace
than two years ago-82 this time to
70 last. incidentally, Senate Bill &c
IF 1887 was never enacted. It called
for abolishing the county of Avery
and returning the territory not quite
to the Indians, but the counties from
which it was originally carved.
AS to bills already passed, this ses-

House bills already enrolled for a
grand total Of 26, just eight less than
in 1887 when 81 had gone through

reported today that a large part OF

trade was expected by federal officials
today to result from Adolf Hitler's
Reichstag speech.
Commercial experts disputed Hit

were no concern of the United States.
They pointed out that Germanys
trade is on a barter and artificial cur
rency basis, and declared that this
in general has the effect of diminish

They contended also that Germany's
