ACTION ON SCHOOL
HELP BILL URGED
Cooper Wires Reynolds, Bailey
To Vote For Plan Pend
ing In Congress

Gubernatorial Candidate Thomas
E. Cooper, mayor Of Wilmington,
urged Senators Robert r. Reynolds
and Josiah w. Bailey yesterday to
vote for the federal educational bill
pending before congress.
Cooper said he sent kilograms to
the North Carolina senators asking
for ardent support" of the measure.
Zone reason why I am so anxious
for this bill to be passed." Cooper
said, "is that it will almost guaran-
tee to the people of North Carolina
that organized politicians will not at
any time reduce the appropriation
for the schools Of the state below
the amount appropriated for 1888.
"There is a provision in the bill
that states spending less money on
public education than in the year
1898 shall not be eligible for federal
aid"

GOVERNORS WILL
FILE RATE PLEA
Dixie Leaders Will Ask Re-
moval OF High Livestock
Freight Charges

ATLANTA, March 2S-P-Eight
southern states will file a petition
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission tomorrow ito remove against
the south the highest livestock
freight rates in the United States"
Chairman Walter Mcdonald of the
Georgia Public Service commission
announced tonight.
Conincident with filing the petit
ton, Georgia and sever other south
ern states prepared to ask h lCC
to suspend a proposed livestock rate
revision which railroads planned to
put into effect April 20.
1.-THE railroads contend that the
rate revision carries reductions Tor
the south,'' Mcdonald stated. IAN
examination Of their proposed rates
has shown that the reductions pro
posed are from points from which
livestock does not move in any large
quantity.
increases are proposed from
those points moving the major por-
ton of livestock in and from the
south"
Mcdonald continued that agricul
tural authorities for a number OF
years have said there can be no
permanent improvement in southern
farm conditions unless we get away
from the one-crop system of depenu
ing on cotton, and our lands are best
adaptable to livestock production"
Secretary of Agriculture Henry
Wallace will be asked to intervene
officially in the livestock petition,
Mcdonald reported, $50 that he can
present the valuable information and
economic data gathered by his de-
partment in the interest of soil con
servation and pasture development
in tho south"
Technically, the petition to be filed
tomorrow attacks present rates from
the west to the south; from the
south to Official" territory in the
east; from the west through the
south to "official' territory; and
within the south.
Mcdonald said the present struc-
ture forms a very definite terri
torial barrier"

DEYT0N BLOCKING
RAISES IN SALARY.
Boosts For UCC Workers Are
Held Up By Official In
State Budget Bureau

RALEIGH, March 2s.- up -
Charles G. Powell, chairman of the
state unemployment compensation
commission, said today that EN-.
ployes of the commission were not
receiving half of the pay raises
which were available to them from
federal funds.
The reason, Powell said, was that
R. G. Deyton Of the state budget
bureau had been unwilling to ap.
prove all of the salary raises, for
fear of upsetting the prevailing
wage scale of other state workers.
UCC employees are paid from fed.
eral funds, although the salaries are
fixed by the state.
Powell said the federal social Sc.
curity board has allotted him $40, 600
to spend on raises for his employees
during the first half of the current
fiscal year. Raises permitted by Dey.
ton, however, totaled only $4,000,
Powell added, and the balance Of
5000 reverted to Washington.
1--WE had $500 for the second half
of the fiscal year." he continued,
land we probably will have to give
up half of this"
Deyton said he long had had an
understanding with the social Sc
curity board that salaries of UCC
employees were to be kept on the
scale of pay for other state EN-.
ployes.
"They told me in Washington that
they UCC j%obholders) were to be
paid on the same basis as employees
of any other state department"
Deyton added. "That is the only fair
thing to do"

Extradition Of Anderson
Is Refused By Gou. Hoey

RALEIGH, March 2S.-lR-Gov.
ernor Hoey refused today to order
the extradition of W. E. Anderson,
now living in Greensboro, who is
wanted in Connecticut on charges
of abducting his own 10-year-old
daughter.
The governor said that Anderson
was separated from his wife. and
had legally obtained custody Of the
child, Eleanore Anderson, under a
Connecticut court order. The order
provided that Eleanore was to spend
part of the time with her father,
and the remainder with her mother,
Hoey said.
"It was admitted at an extradi.
ton hearing here that Anderson
legally obtained custody of the
child, the governor added. "He
now has kept the child for a. long.
err period than that specified by the
court order, but I cannot see how
he can be guilty Of abduction. 1t
seems to me that the most he can
be guilty of is contempt of court"

SURRENDER TO DIES EXPLAINED

SURRENDER TO
 DIES EXPLAINED
 Pelley's surrender to the Dies l committee i: Washington as a vol untary witness this month, will be explained if expiration of his parole is officially recognized. However, authorities have hunt ed Policy since Oct. 19, with a capiss for his arrest pending court action on one or both of the 1885 convictions against him: violation of the blue sky" law and a sup elementary charge of fraudulent representation. OhicialS are ex- pected to base their fight on the ground that the five-year- parole period was still effective when the capias was issued, and that Pelley has been fugitive since that time.
 On the "blue sky" conviction he was sentenced to one to two years in prison. The sentence was Slls- pended for five years with the provision that he pay fine of $1 ,OO0 and costs, that he continue on good behavior for five years, and that he do not publish or dis tribute any periodical in North Carolina for five years.
 On the fraudulent representa- tion charge, prayer for judgment was continued for five years, which meant that the court could bring him in at any time in that period and pass sentence. PLANNED TO ACT
 IN OLD CASE
 Policy only violated the terms of his blue sky parole by regular publication of his Liberation" or gan, officials charged. His arrest for this violation was sought, as means of bringing him before the court for sentence on the fraudulent representation charge.
 Both of the old convictions against Policy entered around his stock selling activities.
 Since October, sheriff's deputies have made a number of searches for Policy, and missed him by hours.
 Under order from the court, the sheriff raided the Skyland Press, Pelley's headquarters and im- bounded his records and copies of his various publications.
 One publication was a pam phlet, "Dies Political Posse" and another was 8 piece referring to J. Edgar Hoover on the cover, en- titled, "Our Secret Political Po- lice"
