Spied in the Photographic room
of the State Bureau of Identified
ton and Investigation was a very
good likeness of Governor-nomi-
nate J. Melville Broughton - also
a snapshot of the Broughton state
manager in the primary, Emery
Denny, sitting with a group of
Broughton headquarters workers.
There were no numbers on any of
the subjects.
In a very recent story, your
Raleigh reporter remarked that
note in the memory of the younger
generation has a sitting Congress
man from North Carolina been
defeated for nomination in a De-
mocratic primary.
Refreshing his own memory, be-
fore having it called to his at
tention, the reporter recalls that
Congressman Graham Hap) Bar
den went in the House the first
time in 1884 by defeating Charles
Abernethy, Jr., no less than three
times, a fact which threw the re-
porter off the track, giving the idea
it has always been the Junior.
Nobody so far asked knows for
certain, but your reporter also
gains the impression that Homer
Lyons, who preceded j. Bayard
Clark as Congressman from the
18th then 6th), got into the House
by beating Hannibal Goodwin; but
that was SO long ago the younger
generation wouldn't remember it.
Census officials are more than
ever convinced that the counting
Of noses in North Carolina will be
wound up by June 30. Pretty
soon thereafter a good picture of
the states population should be
available. "
E. A. Hughes, the director, feels
that all North C%arolinians have
cooperated in the census taking
to the full extent Of their ability.
With no really authentic basis
even for himself, Mr.. Hughes
thinks offhand that the states pop
ulation will likely be up some $780,
600 to $50. 900 over the 1880 figures.
Next question is - will that

Mile. BouIonger Sees Opera
Recordings as Musical Aid
French Composer Conducts Choral Society
Tonight in Foure "Requiem"

Nadia Boulanger, the famous
French composer er-conductor, took
time out from = full day Of re-
hearsals and teaching sessions today
to voice a word of praise for The
Stars opera appreciation program.
Mile. Boulanger, who is here to
conduct the performance Of the
Washington Choral Society Of the
Faure Requiem" at the Washington
Cathedral tonight, said in an inter-
view that she believes the undoubted
influence on musical students Of per-
formances of the great master works
in recorded music is worthy OF ac-
knowledgment.
Expressing interest IN The Stars
effort to create wider field OF ap-
probation for operate music. Mile.
Boulanger said the selection OF
operas for the distribution this year
provides a means of gauging the re-
ceptivity Of the average American
to this form Of music.
For many years an ardent cham
pion of American talent, Mile. Bou-
langer expressed hope that The
Stars program would encourage the
establishment Of groups who would
give performances Of opera, and thus
give singers a chance for actual par
ticipation. She insists that there Is
not much to be gained in simply lis
tening passively either to recordings
or actual performance.
Mile. Boulanger sees no reason for
personal glorifcation of the per-
former in music, and therefore finds
the impersonality Of recorded music
not entirely a disadvantage.
The distinguished conductor is the
first woman ever to conduct the
Royal Philharmonic Society Orches-
ira in England and. in this country,
the Boston. the New York Phil
harmonic, the Philadelphia and the
National Symphonic Orchestras.
The Faure Requiem" which
Mile Boulanger will conduct tonight,
was written by her teacher of COM
position at the Paris Conservatoire,
where her father and grandfather
were professors of music. Through
the students under her guidance she
has exerted a great influence on
musical composition in America.

British Get Free Hand
In Cargo Ships Hunt;
Navy Not 10 Compete
U.S. Won't Buy Merchant
Vessels for Two Years
Unless War Flares
By FRED H. MORHART, Jr.


The British will have free hand
in American merchant marine mar
kets for the time being and will
not be in competition with the
United States Navy, 1t was learned
today.
Though both navies are seeking
ships of the same approximate ton
mage, the Americans are taking
ships of high speed for the fleet
train, whereas the British are comb
ing the markets OF the world for
cargo vessels which can sustain
convoy speed of 10 knots.
With it's merchant vessel pur-
chasing program about completed.
it is understood the Navy probably
will not be in the market for addi-
tional units for two years unless
forced by a turn in world condj-
tions.
Has Taken Over "a Ships.
Since the first of this fiscal year
the Navy has taken over "a mer-
chant ships ranging from 5000 to
Is 900 tons. These are, in the main,
swift moving units which are ca
pable OF operating with the fleet
wherever it may be assigned.
The British. on the other hand
want anything they can get in the
5000 to 100OO-ton class. Informed
quarters pointed out that the famous
tramp steamer and the old Ameri-
can World War Hog Island type Of
cargo ship are the slow. plodding
large cargo vessels suitable for
British transatlantic service.
In the last four and a half months
the Navy has purchased u small
coastal boats ranging from TOO tons
down. These will be used as mine
sweepers, submarine chasers, mine
layers, tugs and patrol boats. Three
of these were luxury yachts pur-
chased from wealthy owners for 81
each.
In the category of large vessels
taken over from the Maritime Com
mission and private operators, q
tabulation shows that the Navy has
acquired more than 329, $50 tons for
its supply line recently.
Two General Stores Ships.
This tonnage represents two gen.
eral stores ships of 6,100 tons each
one provision store ship. $500 tons;
two general cargo vessels, 5000 tons
and two ammunition carriers, 5000
tons each, all of which were added
to the general cargo line.
Nine new oil tankers of II 500 tons
each and one ship of $500 tons were
taken over to carry fuel for the fleet
All of these are modern, fast. low
cost-per- ton mile auxiliaries capable
Of following the battle forces on far.
reaching missions.
OF the 10 transports added in re-
cent months, six are Of $3.50 tons
and four are Of $1,000 tons. The
Navy also acquired two merchant
men of 1886 tons for use as sub
marine tenders. These mother ships
will be floating machine shops and
supply depots for the undersea
boats.
The remaining large units include
two vessels of 7,773 tons for use as
seaplane tenders and a 5000 former
passenger general cargo carrier for
conversion to seagoing hospital.

Cardenas Urges Oil
Law Revision 10 Aid
Seizure Settlement
Move Believed Designed
To Pave Way to md
appropriation Fight
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, Nov. sl4-Presi-
dent Lazaro Cardenas last night
proposed revision of laws governing
the petroleum industry in move
interpreted as designed to clear the
way for a settlement with firms
whose properties were appropriated
March 18, 1888.
Aides of the President have said
all along he was anxious to work
out final settlement of the expro-
priation compensation problem be-
fore he leaves Office November 30.
The proposals to Congress were
designed chiefly, it appeared, to
fortify the financial position of
the industry, which has been show
ing a deficit.
Plans for reorganization of the
industry through personnel reduc-
tions, salary cuts and other econ
omies now are in negotiation be-
tween the government and its en-
ployes.
Seeks Return on Investment.
In a message to Congress the
President emphasized that the in
dustry should operate on such a
basis not only as to pay regular
taxes to the government, but also
to provide a return on the invest
ment In the industry the govern
ment seized after charging the oil
firms with refusing to abide by a
Supreme Court decision in wage
dispute.
The President said lit is necessary
10 compensate for the heavy invest
ments the appropriation demands"
He asked congressional approval Of
outlays of 100000 pesos $4,000
o00) for repairs and replacements
of the "lamentable condition" of the
properties at the time of expropria-
ton.
He proposed that 20 per cent of
profits of the industry go to the
government as reserve Ito insure
the financial stability of the in
dustry" and that "the rest of the
profits be distributed rs per cent to
the federal government and rs per
cent for the workers
This, he said, would give workers
q stimulus for enthusiastic Coop
Grafton in the maintenance and de-
velopment of the Mexican oil in
dustry." He also asked payment by
the industry Of per cent annual in
terest on the value of the properties.
V-Jn..n;<, No< Aa~t;onnJ
There was nothing in the Presi-
dents statement mentioning indem-
MITIGATION, but some quarters said
the move apparently was designed
chiefly to put the industry in sound
er financial position. This, observ-
ers have contended all along, is a
necessary preliminary to any plan
the government might have for in
Identifying owners of the properties
appropriated.
President Cardenas has insisted
all along the government would
comply with its legal obligation to
pay for the properties.

dent Cardenas and other officials
