Hore-Belisha Makes Bitter
Attack on British Stand

Continued From Page OnsJ
January 5, entered the debate after
Chamberlain had told Commons that
Britain had made plain its willing
ness to give all possible help to the
Firms "in their gallant struggle
against aggression"
"While associating myself with
the expressions of sympathy with
the Firms, said Hore-Belisha, "is it
not a fact that repeated appeals
have been made by that country for
assistance in materials and men, and
is it not a pity in relation to the
magnitude of these events and their
far-reaching character to plead as
an excuse for inaction pure tech
nicality.'
Chamberlain retorted ut is not
correct to say that repeated requests
for men had been made by the Fin
nish government"
The Finnish government, he said
"made repeated requests for mate
rails and every one of those requests
has been answered."

E,anier, OF Macon, Ca, Is
Threat In Duke Tourney

Durham, March 13.-Bringing the
"highest"- in points and inches
individual in the tournament,
Lanier high of Macon, Ga, looms as
d dangerous threat to Durham highs
defending champions in the Duke
Durham southern high school cage
affairs to be staged in Dukes new
gymnasium here Friday and Sat-

Captain Joe Murrow of the

highest scoring performer in this
years tournament. In % games, this
six-foot-eight-inch giant, has turned
in a total Of 500 points, an average
of more than 20 points per game.
"Lank", as they call this 200

as his team reached the semi-fln;.& ::

Cooper Fails To
Bring Out Fire
And Birthstone
Daily DiSDatcn Buraa%;,
In the Sir Walter Iiotcl.

RALEIGH, March 12.-Those who
have looked for lot Of lire and
birthstone in campaign speeches OF
Wilnington's colorful Mayor Tom
Cooper were disappointed, perhaps,
in two talks with which he opened
this week; but those who expected
him to advance such radical theories
as to scare everybody with as much
as ten dollars would be equally hard
put to find anything terrifying in
the Cooper utterances.
Before starting from Wilmington
Sunday night for tour OF speeches,
Tom advocated more processing Of
tobacco in North Carolina and Subse-
uuent sales of the product to Latin
America as prime remedy for the
ills of Tar Heel tobacco growers:
"There is no reason North Caro-
lima farmers cannot sell as much
North Carolina grown and North Car
DINA processed tobacco in Latin
America as England did prior to the
war;, he said.
There was a characteristic Cooper
flash to his statement: II am a to-
bacco grower myself, and the trou-
bles which have visited other weed
growers Of this state have not missed
me and the deserving of the Ameri-
can market by British buyers has
made a dent in my already iflattened
purse"
In Winston-Salem last night Tom
told the Instructors Fraternit; of the
Forsyth city's schools that pension
for teachers-Which he says he
heartily favors - will not cost so
much. He cited New Hanovers case
as an example and said: "We have
found it hard to pension the teach
ers, because, God bless 'em, they
never want to quit"
"School teachers do one Of two
things: They either marry and quit
teaching or they stay in harness I'M
til they die. Like most self-sacrific-
1ng people, they love their work and
when the time TO pension them
comes, you can't drive them away
from the schools

same type Of ball as they did against
Charlotte and were whipped handily,
35-16.
Lanier enters the tournament with
three straight state high school cham
pionships. They were hard-pressed
to 60 through this years tournament
against some Of the best high school
teams il the country. After defeat
ing Marist in the first round, 72-l7,
Lanier then turned back Tech high
Of Atlanta, 45-4t. Savannah in the
semi-rinals, 46-42, and those bril-
liant Monroe aggies in the finals.
44-42.
Coach Seiby II. Buck of Lanier,
who has one OF the finest high school
coaching records in the south, ma
tmally has his team work around
Murrow, the tall boy. And in Curtis
Thurston and Don TOmlinSon. for
wards, Jimmie Gilreath and DenZil
Dooley, he'd had four fine ball-hand-
lers who can get the ball to MurroW.
Thurston, on his own, has averaged
almost 10 points a game this season
while Gilreath has done his share of
the scoring.
While the competition will be ter
rifle, those close to the tourney
would not be at all surprised to see
"Lanli" Murrow and his mates in
those finals Saturday night.

on the premise that receipts would
balance expenses. without taking any
money from the highway funds: but
on the specific statement that the
general fund would balance only
through taking some S5,0OO,0OO OF
road funds in the current fiscal blen-
MUM.
In other words, and TO use round
figures which may, not be exact but
which illustrate the point Just az we'll

The State will collect, say, $75,-
100000 in general fund items over
the next two years. Our approprla-
tons call for the expenditure from
the general funds of SG00OO,0 900
we'll make up the difference by talk
ing S5,OOO,000 from the highway
money"
This, the Ants contend, isn't con-
tingent diversion at all. mo diver
sion" for the period is the only con-
tingency about it. IF (and that's
what has happenedD revenues should
60 higher Ihan expected, we'll not
take that S5,000000' is in effect
what the legislature said.
There wouldn't be quite SO much
kick from those against diversion if
the budget had been set up to balance
without considering the $5,000,000 of
highway funds. In that case the sit
uation would have been something
Ike this:
"Revcnucs will be S8o,O00,0OO;
we've appropriated $80,GO0,000; but
if by any chance there should be an
emergency we authorize you to take
up to S5,000.000 from the road
money"
That's a much different PROPOSE
ton. But be that as il may the ants

In the Sir Waller Hotel.

Raleigh, March ALPHABETICALLY
every one Of the major candidates
Tor Governor has said something in
dicating he is against the diversion
Of highway funds; but not one OF
them has yet come out in the sort
Of fashion necessary to satisfy COM
pletely the unylelding opponents OF
diversion in any form.
What sticks in the craW Of these
anti-diVcrsiOnists is that even Gov
ernor Clyde R. HOey says (and they
admit his sincerity when he says it)
that he is against diversion. They
remember that it was only the tre-
mendous influence OF the Governor
that kept the so-called contingent
diversion" section in the Revenue
bill and they reason that if the pres
ent governor can be against diver
sion" and at the same time for the
present law, then whichever of the
current candidates wins could with
equal ease take exactly the same
stand.
Wherefore such organizations as
the Highway Users Conference, the
North Carolina Petroleum Industries
Committee and other groups opposed
to diversion under any guise or dis
guise want a flat-footed statement
from somebody-everybody, if pos
sible-to the effect that he will OPP
pose the so-called contingent
clause if elected.
AS a matter Of fact the Ants point
out, with great show of justice, that
it really isn't a contingent diver
sion" proposition at all; it's really
contingent replacement" clause,
which in effect says eff revenues
should be higher than we estimate
they will be, then We'll put the ST.
100000 back in the highway funds. "
