BUDGET SLASHES

The CLIO has come out with a re-
port attacking the Presidents own
CUT as imperilling recovery.
This CLIO survey painted a gloomy
picture Of the business future, and
declared that the federal budget
had "the chief role among the de-
pressing factors" Acknowledging
that congress is cutting beyond the
Presidents recommendation, the re.
port asserted that the President
really brought this on by cutting
CONGRESSES pet pork" items.
All of this, Of course, is no GER
tain indication that a recession is
Just ahead. The business commu-
nifty has never been very strong for
the idea that stopping government
spending will create a depression.
The point it, that it is orthodox
new deal doctrine-and that the
very circles which hold it the most
devoutly leek on the budget the
President himself drew up as the
chief cloud now on the horizon.

|FDR AWAITS WORD
FROM S. WELLES
Situation May De-
. termine- Stand On Third
Term Nomination
BY w. B.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19- Up -
The word that Sumner We1es
brings back from Europe may easily
be the information which determines
whether President Roosevelt will
take a third term nomination.
For several months Democratic
Chairman Farley has been %convinc-
ed that the foreign situation holds
the answer to the third term ques.
ton He said as much in a recent
speech.
May Talk to Friend
If Farley is right-and his bat
ting average is high-the President
might be expected to supplement
the information provided by official
reports with the personal observa.
lions Of a close friend in whom he
has deep confidence.
The undersecretary of state fits
into that class. Their educational
background is the same. Each went
to Groton and later to Harvard,
though Mr.. Roosevelt, 10 years
older than Welles, had left before
the other arrived.
In. recent. years, their personal
contacts have been tight enough for
the President to slip away from
the White House o and then fol
a quiet evening in the Maryland
hills at Welles' home, Oxon Hill
Manor.
Years Of work in the diplomatic
corps have accustomed Welles tt
handling secret and important mis-
sions. They also have taught hin
to get at the truth of situations ant
to keep his mouth shut. He car
say less in more languages thar
probably any man in Washington
but he speaks aptly and to the point
when he does talk.
Doubtless other important idea:
are also bound up in his mission
What he learns will play its par
in helping to shape the American
diplomatic policy with respect t.
the war in Europe. If it only bring!
an answer to the third term prob
lem, however, many democrats will
be satisfied.
And Welles is expected back Ions
before July Is, when the democratic
national convention meets.

the tail son and daughter, each had
a heap Of stuff for packing. They
had agreed to leave nine of the dogs
and take only two and the parrot.
We'll look like a bunch of Okies
going in the wrong direction" said
Mrs. Carey. "Harry's taking a
couple of his pet saddles, too,
though We'll live in a hotel while
the plays in rehearsal in N e W
York, and I can't see"
you never know where you're
gonna find a horse" said her hus-
band defensively. I'D feel mighty
foolish if we was sitting in the

Roosevelt is in the race. Is it any
wonder that Guffey insists the
President ought to run?
Take Illinois, where Chicago's
Mayor Kelly practically has the
President nominated already. Win
or lose, the President would run
like a house afire in Mayor Kelly's
nailiwick. thus causing the election
of a lot of deserving democrats who
might otherwise get licked.
And the new deal group here .
when ideals, economics and social
beliefs, and so on, are all added up,
there remains with that group the
same motive Of self-preservation as
there is with the political bosses,
in an eve more acute form. Prac'
tically any other democrat nov
mentioned for the nomination would
behead this group, en- bloc, with
great glee, once he got in the White
House.

BY n AVERILL

RALEIGH, Feb. 19.-Perhaps the
most noticeable, if not notable. fact
in politics last week here in Ra-
leigh was revival of the Its Her
ton" talk.
Going back some six months, the
lieutenant governor was generally
locked upon as a ~clear-cut favorite
in the gubernatorial race. Then
came denial that he is the admins
tration candidate, and a marked
falling off in expressions of belief
that he'd win.
Now there is a distinct and audi
BILE rumble Of cheering for the
lieutenant governor and there's
plenty of talk to the effect that po-
tent administration leaders who
switched from Horton to Broughton
are now e~ndeavoring to do a forced
countermarch from Broughton back
to Horton.
Whether there is anything more
than deliberate propaganda behind
this talk, your reporter is not now
prepared to say. Of that phase, more
in later reports.
Your reporter went in to e Bob
Thompson, just switched from gov
errors secretary to head of the

be found in the office.

able Bob, who, it developed on in
vestigation, had already done a good

The story released out Of Wash.
ington relating the tremendous
growth Of rural identification in
North Carolina laid great empha-
sis on what the Federal R.. E. A,
has accomplished in this state; but
it failed completely to credit the
State Rural Electrification authority
with it's just dues.
There isn't the slightest doubt in
the mind OF any informed person
who knows anything whatever about
the situation, that the efficient or
ganization directed by Dudley Bag
ley has been the greatest single as
set to rural identification in North
Carolina.
It has been so, for it's protective,

Had the Federal folks been allowed

Refuqe Report

Complete reputation of reports
from Rome that President Roose-

The report was that Myron c.

to Pope Plus that the seat of the
church might be moved to America
in event Europe's war forces evac-
uation from Rome. CThis report
was not carried in The Starr
Offering no comment on the story
earlier this morning, Stephen T.
Early, secretary to the President
called special press conference
shortly after noon today to say
There is absolutely no truth in the
story whatever. 1t is another er-
roneous Rome press report.
'You might say, furthermore, that
the newspapers are spending a hell
OF lot of money getting erroneous
information from Rome for con-
sumption by American readers"
On several occasions in the past

denied stories of American inter-

$500 field guns of the 75-mm. type,
they could probably obtain the shells
from the French, whose standard
field gun is similar.
The United States has a serious
shortage of 75-mm. shells. There
are now about 100000 in reserve,
sufficient for about one campaign on
the scale now being waged in Eu-
rope. The same shortage is true of
the 3O-caliber cartridges. About
100000 rounds were on hand
May l, 1910, and the Army sought
funds to increase it to 80,0O0,000.
The Army has about 10000 World
War machine guns, also of .30-cal-
iber, which are OF no value to this
country now. but which could be
used in the event of an emergency.
These are the Vickers, Lewis and
Marlin types. which were manufac-
tured in England during the World
War. They were used as aviation
weapons by the United States forces.
The French are at the present
time hard pressed; in the fighting
which has occurred since May 10
they have lost an important amount
of artillery. More will be lost in
the battle which started yesterday
Artillery is needed in France almost
AS badly as airplanes and tanks.
because the French 75-millimeter
gun is a deadly weapon against the
German tanks.
Guns Good for Training Here.
OF course, the remainder of the
United States guns which a year or
so ago were considered obsolescent
by the Army will be useful for the
training of the additional recruits
which Congress has decided to OBJ
tain in the shortest possible time
for the defense of this hemisphere,
and. until our factories can start
producing guns in a satisfactory
number, these obsolescent weapons
will be needed for the training OF
the artillery regiments.
The Allied argument is that the
danger is far more imminent for
them than for us and that their de-
feat would bring this country closer
to zero hour. Hence, they consider

While the British air force fought
to help the French meet the Ger
man attack, military circles here
acknowledged that the Germans had
made some progress at certain points
in the AiSne- -Somme battle, but add
ed that no advances could be de-
scribed as penetrations of the
French defense positions.
1t was said the Germans were
tapping everywhere to find a soft
spot upon which to deliver a fierce
blow.
German raiders attacked the Eng
lish coast from Yorkshire, in North
eastern England, to Kent, south of
the Thames, where it winds from
London to the sea.
In Kent, woman, her 13-year-old
son and 3-year-old baby escaped
by leaping over flaming incendiary
bomb which tore through the roof
of their house, missed their bed by
a few inches and burned a big hole
in the floor.
Other incendiary bombs which
fell In Kent started two fires on the
roofs of buildings, which were quick
ly extinguished, while another burned
out on the front lawn of a house,
damaging only the hedge.
Many bombs dropped in Essex fell
near boys school, and an air force

fields, injuring no one, the British
said.
One bomb struck a rectory garden
in Lincolnshire, 1t was reported, and

With the Nazi air attacks ap-
preaching ominously close to Lon

appeals to parents to register their
children for withdrawal to safer
areas in Wales and the Midlands.
The Ministries of Air and Home
Security said six persons suffered
minor injuries and one house in
Lincolnshire, on the east coast south
of Yorkshire. was set afire.
Incendiary bombs fell in the rural
districts OF Yorkshire, Lincolnshire
and Norfolk, also on the east coast,
as we'll as on the Thames side, where
docks. wharves and warehouses line
both sides of the Thames most of the
way from London to the river S
mouth.
One German plane was believed to
have been brought down near an
east coast town, where anti-aircraft
guns opened fire after the plane
dropped its bombs.
At the east coast port a search
light beam caught one of the raid
ers. The anti-aircraft batteries
roared as other searchlights were
focused on the Nazi plane.
The raider appeared to escape
the beams for time but then was
picked up again and attacked by
guns from land and sea. Planes
could be seen flashing across the
night sky in pursuit of the Ger
man.
Blasts Shake Sea Front Houses.
Explosions shook houses on the
sea front, and spectators who had
stood outside ran for cover.
A town on another section of the
coast was shaken by terrific eXplo-
sions but the bombs were said to
have fallen into sea.
At third coast point the search
lights turned night into day, and
flashes of gunf1re were seen after
an AFRAID warning sounded, but
apparently there was no bombing.

but neither casualties nor damage
were reported. In parts of the south
east coast people were disturbed
twice during the night by raids.
A plane which was said to have
dropped bombs over the Thames
was heard over the estuary during
the night. An eyewitness said:
The searchlights went on but
did not locate the plane I saw a
number of flares, apparently over
the river. No air-raid warning was
