Warren Steps Up

congressman LluCtSStS aIISL-, VI
the frs; North Carolina district, steps
I'D into deserved promotion in the
Federal government by his appoint
ment trom President Roosevelt to
the long-vacaut office Of comptroller
of the currency. He was mentioned
tor the place two years ago on eN-
piration Of the term OF John R. Nc
Carl but refused the office at that
time.
Mr.. Warren has been in Congress
for eight terms. or sixteen years. His
record in the House has been an
honorable one. Few districts have
been served better than his, and in
his own right he has achieved a place
OF distinction among his colleagues in
the lower branch OF the national leg
iSlature. For years ne has been chair
man OF the committee on accounts,
an experience which qualities him
admirably for the duties now en-
trusted 10 him.
That Mr.. Warren has the con-
fidence OF the President is atteSted
by his selection for this important
post 1t was understood two years
ago the President offered the job
to him, but ne refused. 1t is re-
merbered, too. that pressure was
put upon him last winter to enter
the race toy governor of this State.
and prospects were bright had he
yielded.
In view Of tempting offers that
have come % Nh. Warren in recent
years. reasons that impelled him to
hang on 20 mis- seat in Congress. only
to relinq,izh il now, give rise to
speculation. He could have been re-
elected in his district as long as he
lived had he been content there.
When Vice President Garner was
speaker of the House, Lindsay War
rem was one O. his cronies. Cactus
Jack" taught him the way around.
and Warren never forgot it and never
lost his respect and admiration for
the Texan. But Garner is gore now
still in office but gone critic
les>-having slipped out .. II
and buried back to UvaldG So
gust the turn of events in re-
cent : :.
Moreover. Warren long has been
regarded in many quarters as the
logical successor to Speaker Bank
head as presiding officer Of the
misunderstanding his party were still
in control at the time Of such va
cancy.
Does it mean anything therefore.
that Warren now is turning his back
upon those prospects? Does he sense
the possibility Of the Democrats los
ing the House next November, thus
blasting his hopes Of becoming speak
er at some future time? Ii would be
interesting 10 know how much, if
any, these circumstances influenced
Warren's acceptance Of the comp
troller general post. Or was he I'M
able to resist the urge Of the White
House?
II is to be borne in mind that the
office of comptroller carries a salary
of $4,000 Il year. Appointment, too.
is for a term of fifteen years, and no
change of administrations affects
the tenure. He cannot be ouStcd by
new president. He can be dis
lodged only by death. resignation Or
impeachment.
Whatever the motivating influence
behind Mr.. Warren'S promotion, the
country is assured of an adminiStra-
lion of the office that will be honest
and efficient. It goes without say
mo that he will be confirmed by the
Senate and will shortly assume his
new duties.

Capital Gossip
BY LYNN NISBET.

Raleigh. Aug. 1.-The redoubtable
Paul LeonG -. head OF the N. Z. Fan
Ia" Association. makes the headlines
with Il statement that the eight mil
lion dollars cash balance in the state
treasury at the end OF the last fiscal
wear is due to the efforts Of his as
SOciatun and the ECONOMY bloc III
the last legislature. rather than t.
any wise policy OF the state admin
iStratlon. Governor HCey had sort OF
claimed credit for the balance aS ali
asset Of his administration. Mr. Leon
ard. though, says that taxpayers
should remember that the same folks
who are growing about the fine con-
dition oil the treasury now are the
very same individuals who wanted
more appropriations and more bond
issues during the legislature.
As for that, most Of the citizens OF
the state probably will adopt an
Omar philosophy Of taking the cash
and letting the credit 90. The money
is there. and we're all glad of it. AND
most ri us are willing To distribute
the credit and the thanks among all
Of the agencies having any part OF
responsibility therefor.

Special Assistant Secretary of State Makes Col

MADISON Wis, May Especial Assistant Secretary of State Jo- seph Davies returned to college day scenes at the University ot Wisconsin last night to warn Am ericans against far-reaching eco- homie effects of the war.
 The former Ambassador to Bel gium avoided direct comment on the international situation in a speech at the dedication of the new University Law Library.
 Said he: Our government is maintaining strict neutrality. It is entirely proper, however that we should study and discuss some of the possible effects which arc threatening or may threaten the country. We can and will protect ourselves and will maintain the security and freedom of this hem isphere against outside interven- ton. Protection from the indirect consequences of this war on world economy and upon our own life, however, is more difficult. Even though the war were to be settled tomorrow, forces already exist which would have reaching eff fleets on us"

 From there on it looked like the High Schools ball game except for an Elks rally in the fourth when Russell and Druliner put the Ellls momentarily one point ahead, but the pace was too much fer the older ballhawks and the Bears drew away.
 The second game was riot Of laughter for fans and for the most part sailors knot puzzle for referee Rev Knight.
