Patty Has Pension Plan
Mr.. Petteway discussed a late
release by Paty's headquarters
which had to do with a special
pension plan sponsored by the
gubernatorial candidate which he
would sponsor if elected.
The plan had to do with call
ing a special session of the State
Legislature in January, imme-
diately after Inauguration, to
pass special old-age pension leg
islation which would bring $40
monthly to Florida eligibles.
Mr.. Patty proposes to tour the
state following the second pri-
mary, if nominated, and line up
support of the plan by having the
representatives agree to come to
Tallahassee at their own expense
for the special session. ---'---''----''

Reynolds
Finds Reds
In Carolina

Washington, April 10.-(AP)-
Senator Reynolds, Democrat, North
Carolina, made public today letter
that he said indicated the communist
party was seeking to take advantage
of the situation confronting North
Carolina tobacco growers as result
of the British embargo on purchases
of American tobacco.
He released a letter from Bart
Logan, Greensboro, N. c., who de-
scribed himself as secretary Of the
North Carolina communist party,
which petitioned Reynolds to support
legislation prohibiting the sale of war
materials to foreign countries which
did not purchase an equal value of
American farm products.
This indicated to me there are
communists in North Carolina and
activities OF that party are not con-
fined solely to New York and other
metropolitan centers," Reynolds said.
Senator Bailey, of North Carolina
and Representative Carl p. Durham,
in whose district Greensboro is To-
Gated, also received copies of the
Logan letter.
The letter deplored purchase by
allies of a billion dollars worth of
airplanes and other war materials
in this country and stopping the pur-
chase of agricultural commodities.

Things Go Before Act
ing. 4

Washington, April 10.-(AP)-
The administration adopted today a
"stop, look and listen" attitude with
regard to permitting Scandinavian
countries to make use Of credits OK
tended by the Export-Import bank
for financing purchases Of non-mili-
tary goods in this country.
This was reported by Jesse Jones,
federal loan administrator, after he
conferred at the White House with
President Roosevelt and Undersec-
rotary of State Sumner Welles.
Applying the term stop, look and
listen" to the course the govern
ment will follow for the immediate
future, Jones said that I'VE want to
wait and see how things go" before
deciding on a permanent policy.
The loan administrator explained
that even after credits are granted,
money is not actually advanced for
purchases until the goods are bought
and shipped so that this govern
ment retains control of the money
as long as possible.
State and Justice department ex-
perts were at work on a proclama-
ton of the President extending neu-
trality provisions to Norway and
Denmark, but lack of diplomatic
word from Norway slowed up a
decision on exactly what steps would
be taken.

To Be Aided

Washington, April 1O.-(AP)-
Broad scale plans for removing Ame-
ricans from Norway and Denmark
were laid at the State department
today on the basis of standing in
structions given American diplomats
abroad before the war broke out.
Several routes for Americans
wishing to leave the two countries
were tentatively agreed upon.
The State department lists about
1900 Americans living in Norway
and Denmark. Many of these, how
ever. are married to Norwegians or
Danes or have close relatives there,
and do not want to leave. Probably
less than half would go. The de-

Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, April IU.--Advocates Of
things as they are in the u Abe
counties are beginning to get nervous
over the deep silence that hangs
heavy over the camp of the organized
"drys". It has been said that there
are no thunders so disturbing as the
thunders Of silence, and the apparent
inertia and lack OF noise from Gale
K. Burgess and the United Dry
Forces IS beginning to worry legal
store advocates no little.
There are a number of indications,
too. that this nervousness is justified,
as it begins to appear that the drys
are substituting multitude of quiet,
unobtrustive local campaigns for the
customary one big putsch habitually
accompanied by the banging of pro-
hibition field pieces and the twanG-
ing of temperance Tyres.
