Seabees Again

Raleigh, Jan. - The Navy
today resumed enlistment of
draftage men in the "Seabees,' -
Naval construction battalions, It.
Comdr. Charles B. Nicely, officer
in-charge of the States Navy re-

ment through Selective Service

Only skilled construction work
ers are acceptable for this branch
of the Navy. Men enlisted are
awarded ratings running up to

course, on the individuals exper-
fence and ability.
However, under the new pro-
curement set-up, the following

furnish the applicant with neces-
sary papers for Navy enlistment.

pers from the draft board, the
applicant should report to the re-
cruiting station where he was in
tervieWed, and he will be sent

Administrator Leon Henderson
said this week.
Henderson told a press confer
ence he opposed suggestions that
"A' coupons be suspended or re-

estimated. would leave upwards
of 100000 cars stranded.
He made public telegram
from Thomas P. Henry, president
o fthe American Automobile as
sociation, calling attention to
persistent reports that certain
interests inside and outside gov
eminent are urging total suspen-
sion or wholesale deValuation" of
"a" books for an indefinite peri
cd. Henry predicted such step
would bring about a breakdown
in transportation in the affected
area, and scuttle the program of
the Baruch committee for main
tanning all cars in operation on
limited mileage in the interest
of the war effort and civilian
economy.

Record Budget Calls For Ex-

Billion Dollars

Washington. D. c.; - President

Congress his budget for the 1914
fiscal year asking S1089n3 ,047:-
923 in overall expenditures and
$4,000, 100000 in new taxes and
forced savings"
In his accompanying r0"o0o ge-
a document firm yet neWlv con-
ciliatory-he called it a maxi
mum program for wagirg war"
that "reflects the determination
Of civilians to pass ammunition"
War OutlovS olonp VIII taxi an
estimated 100000 roughly
the amount the government spent
from it's birth in 1889 through
1880, and 96 cents out of every
dollar of the overall budget
His tax recommendations -
which he did not define but which
propose compulsory savings and
some form of pay-as-you-go plan
would raise present GROSS Ire
asury revenues from S35, OOO, OOO,-
900 to $51, OOO,OOO,0O0 thus requir-
ing the people to shoulder half
the cost of fighting the war.
Lacking these new revnues, he
said at a budget seminar with
newspapermen on Saturday, the
government faces a deficit of ST.
047, 679,923 in the coming fiscal
year, and the national debt-now
approximately $113,00O.000,0OO -
will soar to an astronomical $21O,-
000,000,000 by the end of that
period.
The debt will pass the present
statutory limit $125.O00. 100000
by $1O,OOO,OOO,O0O during the cur
rent fiscal year, he added, and
Congress therefore must prepare
to raise the ceiling.

can and will be repaid.

BILTMORE HOUSE is
CLOSED FOR DURATION

Biltmore - Biltmore House,
one of Asheville's major tourist
attractions, is to be closed to the
public for the duration of the
war because of the situation arts
ing from the gasoline and tire
ratlonlng program, Judge Junius
q. Adams announced.
Decision to close the house and
grounds to the public was reach
ed after a conference in which all
the factors were considered.
Those in charge of the property
took the position that it would be
unpatriotic to attempt to keep
the place open in view of the ban
on pleasure driving.
With the announcement that
Biltmore House will be closed, it
was revealed that since it was
opened March IS. 1880, to public
inspection, it has been a mecca
for tourists from every one of the
48 states, the District of Column
bia and some 63 foreign coun-
tries. A total of 203,761 visitors
actually registered during the 12-
year period and it was estimated
that some 10000 others who did
not register went through the
place. This latter group includ-
ed many convention delegates
who went through in large
group and did not have time to
stop and register.
