Senate Adds
To FDR's
Budget Sums
Desire to Win Farm
Vote Proves Stronger
Than Fear of New
Taxes; Bill Expected
to Go to Conference
Soon.

Washington, March 23.-(AP)-
Even economy advocates predicted
Today that the House would accept
E, reast part Of the increases made
by the Senate in the one billion dol
lar farm bill which it approved late
yesterday.
'Inere was widespread feeling in
both chambers that the desire to win
the farm vote would prove stronger
han the fear OF new taxes which in
fluenced the House to hold the farm
appropriation to $7l4,000,0O0, earlier
This session.
The expanded bill now goes back
to the House for action on the in
creases. Leaders expect it to be
sent early next week to joint con-
gresSional committee for adjustment
Of the differences.
The Senate-approved bill carries
nearly S923,000,000 in appropria-
tionS-more than S200,0O0,OOO in
excess of President Roosevelts bud
get recommendations an addi-
tional S90,000,0O0 in loans for agri-
cultural purposes.
Until the farm bill reached the
Senate Mr.. Roosevelt's budget esti-
mates for various purposes had been
reduced approximately S303,0O0,000
n Congress in an effort to avoid the
$460,000,000 of additional taxes
which the President advised to fl
nance "emergency" defense OUTLAWS.
Although the increases in the farm
measure offset most of the savings
voted previously, Senator Barley Of
Kentucky, the Democratic leader,
has expressed belief that additional
taxes might still be avoided The
possibility Of accomplishing this by
trimming defense appropriations has
Jeen suggested.
The largest Of some 70 increases
made in the bill by the Senate was
,2l2,000,G00 for parity payments to
cotton, wheat, corn, tobacco and rice
growers complying with the farm
act.

Consolidation
Cuts Number
OF Schools
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, March 23.-North Caro-
linas policy Of consolidation has re-
duced the number of elementary
schools in the state by approximate
ly 1900 in the last eight years, &C
cording to an analysis, with COM
plete statistical data, in this months
issue of State School Facts, publica-
ton of the State Department Of Pub
lie Instruction.
According to the tabulation there
were 5,236 elementary schools in
North Carolina in 1930-31, while in
1878 (last year for which COM
piete figures are available) there
were only 4,058.
In l93O-3l these elementary
schools were divided 4,343 in county
units and 1893 in city units. Eight
years later there were 1886 in cOun-
ty and 1863 in city units. Thus while
county schools were decreasing by
1,248, city elementary schools in
creased by 70.
The big decrease came about
through the policy of doing
away with the smaller schools and
consolidating them into larger units.
Thus nearly 800 of the l,248 schools
eliminated during the eight years
we're one-teacher schools (555 for
white children and 244 for Negroes).
There were at the close of the school
year 1878 only LIS schools hav-
ing one teacher. 1926 for white and
$50 for Negro children; whereas at
the beginning of this period there
were nearly 1000 one-teacher schools
1880 for whites and 1904 for
Negroes).
me number of two and three
teacher schools likewise has shown
= progressive decline-from l33U-3I
TO 1878 the number decreasing
from 1875 to 1907:
The number of schools in the four,
five and siX-teacher group has re-
NAMED fairly constant in number
throughout the entire period-wjt.
497 in county and 81 in city units
in 1851 against SOC in county and
go in city units in 1878.
The schools with seven or more
teachers increased steadily over the
eight year period, rising from 976
to 1,O06 between 1880 and 1888.
Division of the schools among the
counties shows that Ashe and Wilkes
counties tie for first place in the lar
gest number of one-teacher schools
for white children, with SO each, but
Wilkes has eight Negro schools this

Indian Tribe Comes From
Long Forgotten COLONY

More than 10000 people of racial
mystery, ancestral roots lost in the
scant history of the very first phase
of the white mans conquest of
America, live in and around the lit
tie North Carolina town of Penn
broke
Indians they are, says North Caro-
lima law and the federal govern
ment A large part Indian they
most certainly are, as their appear
ance, habits and manner prove.
But the fact that since pre-Revo-
lutionary days many have had curly
hair-sOmetimes red or blond-and
the fact their dialect, as first re-
corded by early colonists, contained
many Anglo-SaXon words, is also
proof they are not of pure Indian
blood
Perhaps the most interesting of
all the clues as to their racial iden-
tity is provided by names, as they
appeared on the first colonial rec
ords and are still borne by men,
bers of the tribe today.
The names Henry Berry, John
Sampson and a score of others were
to be found on the roster of Sir
Walter Raleigh's Lost Colony" the
fate of which for more than $50 years
has been unknown. These names are
to be found among Indians of this
section, and have been since before
the Revolution.
The single clue to their fate left
by members of the Lost Colony"
who built the first English settle
ment in America on Roanoke island,
was the word "Croatan," carved on
a tree. The Indians of this section
were called "Croatans" for years.
They were proud of the name and
boosted of their white as well as In
dian ancestors. Their traditions in
Guided stories of the forebears who
could talk in a book"
But today these people don't like
the term 'Croatan," some prefer
ring to be known as the Cherokee
Indians of Robson county" while
others call themselves "Siouans.
The tribes aversion to the name
Croatan is the result of reports made
to Washington that the blood of run
away Negro slaves also was to be
found IN some families of the race.
