Salary Group
Will Meet Next Week

RALEIGH, June 28- Up The
salary committee of the state school
consider the division Of $250,000
which is available for increases dur
ing the next fiscal year in the pay
of public school teachers.
Lloyd Griffin, secretary Of the COM
mission, said the group also would
discuss a federal court decision, in a
Virginia case, to the effect that
negro school teachers must be paid
as much as white teachers. APPROX
mately $780, 900 would be needed to
raise the salaries of negro teachers
in North Carolina to the level of
teachers, he added.

PAYS FOR
MURDER OF WIFE
Prison Officials Say He Con.
fessed Crime Before En-
tering Gas Chamber

RALEIGH, June 2S.-LR-A A.
year-old white man who once was
confined to an insane asylum was
asphyxiated at Central Prison to-
day for the murder of his wife.
Prison officials said that Lee
Flynn confessed the crime before
entering the gas chamber at $3.50
a. m. In a little more than a min
ute, a mask was strapped over his
face and a stethoscope was tapel
to his breast. Then gas was ad-
ministered, and he was pronounced
dead at 10:13.5.
Flynn was convicted in Mcdowell
county last January. Evidence at
his trial was that he dragged his
wife from their home into the yard,
called their seven-year-old child to
come and kiss your mama good
bye" and then shot the woman in
the head.
Although Flynn once was con-
fined to the state hospital for the
insane at Morganton, he was ad-
judged sane at the time of the
killing.
He was the first resident of Nc
Dowell county ever executed here.
His asphyxiation reduced the pop
ulation of death row to seven
smallest since 1912.

marley Keller's 18th home run,
W.T. he was undermined by four
errors and some generally loose
sI.v that didn't creep into the re-
cords.
Keller's home run came in the
first inning and was followed by
. double by Joe DiMaggio and a
walk that didn't mean anything.
Pass didn't give another hit until
tbe sixth and himself batted in the
,ring run for Philadelphia in the
fAh after Sam Chapman had doub-
led.
But an error beat him in the
seventh and two more piled on
tbe weo in the tighth.
Babe Dahlgren singled to start
ye seventh and was forced by
nitcber Marius Russo, who was
sble to tseal second because o. a

Red Rolfe tapped an easy gorund-

Russo scored.

Nelson left the executive vice
presidency of Sears, Rosbuck and
Company the first of this month
to head the treasury's procure
ment division.
A native of Hannibal, Mo-, he
had been in charge of merchandise
ing for the Chicago firm since
1880. He had been active in govern
ment affairs previously as an as
sistant to the chairman of the
N.R.A. and as a member of the
Commerce Department. business
advisory council.
For some time, it is known, the
advisory defense commission has
been considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of a purchasing car" who could
coordinate all purchases and, for
instance, when the army and navy
desire the entire output of a par
ticular factory, say which should
have it, or how the output should
be divided.
On the question of expansion of
the defense program, MIR. Roose-
welt indicated that a matter of
chief concern was getting industry
on a mass production basis so
that the unit cost of defense weap-
ons would be reduced.
He said that when new produc-
ton facilities were created it was
cheaper in the long I'll to give
a sufficiently large order to keep
then going for at least a while.
It is now being determined, he
said, whether money would not be
saved by giving expanded orders
now. =.
AS an example, he suggested
that more airplanes might be or
dered than there r appropria-
tons for at present, the objective
being to build up to the goal OF
so, 900 aircraft and a production
capacity of 0 1000 a year.
Authoritative sources reported
that the contemplated expansion
would be entirely for the army.
1t was felt, it was said, that needs
of the navy would be met, for the
time being, by legislation already
enacted and the 81 600, 900, 900 ma
val bill now pending before the
senate after house passage.
The additional army expansion,
it is understood, will include the
vast orders for tanks, airplanes
and a program of government mu-
nitions factories construction. 3
