My compliments TO George
Frazier. magazine writer, for his
interview on Humphrey Bogart.
1t was one OF the most revealing
and authentic stories ever written
about Bogie. Frazier tells all, but
in a friendly. admiring way, even
to the famous Bogart battles.
Which brings me to what I heard
on the Warner lot.
That is, that it's believed that
Bogie will relent and make God

Arthur Rank, England'S fore

Gabriel Pascal in this venture,
and. of course, David Selznick has
a big interest, since he loaned
Miss Leigh 10 Pascal. Claude
Rains went TO England, some
weeks ago. for the Caesar role.
This. incidentally. is Vivien's first
picture since Lady Hamilton,
which was probably the most
popular American motion picture
ever shown in Great Britain.
BIGGEST DEAL
II Frank Borzage signs the
contract with Republic that is

of adding materially to the et1l'

Now in use or a 67-mile freight

of high frequency alternating cleo
tric currents transmitted along the

sit provides a solution for certain
practical difficulties which were
encountered in adapting pure ra-

air to those forms of transport
which have no physical ground
contacts and to which radio has
been found to be ideally adapted"
Extension of the system to other
parts of the railroad will await
further tests on the Belvidere-Del-

has been installed in 10 locomo-

Poll Tax Ruling Issued
northumberland

A tax collector who collects tax
es on a commission basis is entl-
tied to a sale fee of not exceeding
fifty cents per parcel of land for
making tax sales.
Where a county has funds in a
bank under several accounts. the
aggregate amount of such ac-
counts is protected only to the ex-
tent of $4,000 under the federal de-
post insurance law.
In G. S. 2-34 (Michie's Code 1904
HI, providing for fees to be allow
ed clerks of superior court for au-
diting final accounts of executors
and administrators, the words "to-
tai receipts and disbursements"
mean the entire receipts and dis
bursements from the time of quail
ification of the executor or admin
istrator to the termination of his
duties and would not be confined
to that portion of the estate not
paid to legatees or distributes.
If county board of commission
ers should find that it is necessary
to employ additional persons in
the office of the county farm agent
to enable him to successfully carry
out the duties of office, the expen-
diture occasioned thereby would be
necessary expense" for which
the county would be authorized to
levy tax.
Under statute requiring county
commissioners, upon proper proof,
to order payment (out of moneys
arising from the tax on dogs) of
damages arising out of injury or
destruction of property by any
dog, the fact that personal prop
erty taxes has not been paid on
the property alleged to have been
destroyed would not destroy the
owners right to damages. The
question of what constitutes salts
factory proof of ownership and
damages is to be decided by the
board of commissioners.
Membership of the county board
of education and the office of de-
linquent tax collector are both
public offices within the constitu-
tional prohibition against double
office holding.

RALEIGH, Feb. 19.-(R-Attor-
ney General Harry Mcmillan rul-
ed today in a digest of opinions
that a person residing in both a
county and a municipality may be
required to pay poll taxes in both
governmental areas.
Mcmillan said that under the
constitution and the machinery
act of 1889, counties may levy a
poll tax of So and municipality a
ST poll tax. A resident of both the
county and municipality thus
would be subject to taxation.
In an opinion requested by DR..
Clyde A. Erwin, state superintend-
ent of public instruction, regard
ing compulsory attendance of all
school children, Mcmillan ruled
that:
while a special attendance Of
ficer may request child who is
out of school to accompany the
attendance officer to the school
and in attempting to secure the
return of the child, may use the
art of persuasion, he is not au-
thorized to arrest the child or to
use any physical force in securing
the child's return to school,"
An opinion requested by T. Bod
die Ward, motor vehicles commits
sioner, said:
where a resident of North Car
DINA is arrested in South Carolina
for driving an automobile under
the influence of Intoxicating IL
quors and posts an appearance
bond which is subsequently fer.
feited by his failure to appear at
the trial, the North Carolina com.
missioner of motor vehicles has
authority. under the provision OF
the uniform drivers license act, to
suspend the defendants North
Carolina drivers license.
In other opinions Mcmillan rul-
ed that:
When proceeds of the sale of
school property are deposited with
the county treasurer as provided
by statute, such proceeds become
a part of the capital outlay fund,
which is to provide for the pur.
chase of sites, the erection and al
teration of school buildings, etc

Truman Reveals Suit
To Revise Article
BY the Associated Press.


Senator Truman, Democrat, of
Missouri has disclosed that he once
filed suit to prevent publication of
an article critical Of some phases of
the war effort, but that the article
was revised and the suit dropped.
The article had been sought by
American Magazine and was based
on findings of the Senate War In
vestigating Committee, chairman
ship of which the Democratic vice
presidential candidate recently re-
linquished.
Senator Truman said the article
prepared and published about two
years ago, had been revised after the
suit was instituted and that 1t finally
was published as I wanted it," A
check for $3.50 was turned over to
the committee to be used for ex-
penses, Senator Truman said.
Senator Humans statement was
made when he was informed of
newspaper stories stating he had
attempted to halt publication of an
article In which he blasted the New
Deal" and said the United States
was "in danger of losing the war in
Washington"
The article contained the state
ment: We owe 1t to ourselves to
insist that the President act
promptly to halt the selfish fights
for power, the endless pickering and
dissension which have 50 far blocked
the complete utilization of our
productive energies"
