PARAGRAPHS ON NATIONAL PROBLEMS AT WASHINGTON LARGER NAVY CERTAIN MILLS' SURPRISING SPEECH TO RE-LOCATE WORKERS FIGHT POLITICAL LAWYERS HUGE HOME SHORTAGE JAPS TO CONFER NEW MONEY BILL TO STOP THE CWA With full Administration sup port, the construction of ships necessary to bring the American Navy to treaty strength seems to be assured. Last week the House passed the Vinson bill, authorizing the expenditure of nearly half a billion dollars in a five-year pro gram, which incfudes 1,184 new airplanes. Opposition to the bill was slight, as the largest naval building pro gram ever authorized by an Ameri can Congress went through. Par ticularly pointed was the declara tion of California Democrats, with plain references to Japan. In addi tion to naval construction now be ing financed by the PWA, the new measure would authorize 65 de stroyers, one airplane carrier, thirty submarines, and six cruisers. Somewhat significant is the re cent address of Ogden L. Milld, former Secretary of the Treasury, a leading member of President Hoover's cabinet, and often men tioned as a possible Republican nominee for President 'in 1986. Mr. Mills, speaking in Kansas, at tacked the fundamentals of the "New Deal" and, somewhat sur prisingly, advocated a modification I of tariffs and the abandonment of "isolation and intense nationalism." Mr. Mills himself recognized | that these might be strange words "coming from an orthodox Repub lican," but insisted that he never understood that the system of pro tection intended the "destruction of our commerce with the rest of the world and the sacrifice of the 1 efficient farmer to save the in efficient manufacturer." Convinced that thousands of workers are now stranded in dis tricts where large industries have closed and that for many of them there is no hope of employment in their former occupations, Harry L. Hopkins, Relief Administrator, is planning to start moving these stranded people to communities | where new opportunities exist. It is estimated that one million people are without reasonable prospect of future employment in certain coai and copper mining districts in in dustrial centers, and on farms teams playing very carefully and where land is so poor that no one can make a living on it. President Roosevelt's recent out-. spoken attack on political lawyer members has produced a great de • J mand for executive legislation, al though many congressmen believe the movement is "out of control." For some yeais, the public has been aware of the tendency on I AMAZE A MINUTE ] SCIENTIFACTS C. BY ARNOLD J tQ worhll 0000 TURN/ EASTHMOCM* MUCH THE VOMOU.

" • ' •> * ' * ' 1•" THE ROCKY MOUNT HERALD, ROCKY MOUNT, N. C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1934 the part of many connected with the political party in power to move to Washington. Particular ly noticeable was this apparent in the frequent opening of law offices by prominent party leaders. Re gardless of the individual, and no matter how conscientious his in tentions, the fact was that becuase of political connections, certain in terests delighted to employ attor neys apparently able to reach tne ears of office-holders. Pending bills include that of Senator Vandenburg to limit the membership in natiinal commit tees, and Senator Norris' proposal to combine such legislation with a drastic anti-l®bbying bill. Post master-General Farley is credited with the idea that small office holders in the states should not be affected but that legislation should strictly regulate political lawyers and office-holders in Washington. The Administration attitude was stated, it is assumed, by Senator Byrnes, who insisted that legisla tion to bar department officials and members of party national committees from lobbying for ap propriations should apply to mem bers of Congress. There is a strong probability that the "principle" of Senator Johnson's bill to prohibit financial transactions with nations in de fault on their war debts will be endorsed by the Administration. It is presumed that the ban would apply to nations in default ota debts to the government, as dis tinct from sums owed to individ uals or corporations, and that it would restrict foreign individuals and corporations but not govern ment corporations, because this might interfere with the operations of the two billion dollar stabiliza tion fund. Convinced from a recent survey that there is a, shortage between 700,000 and 800,000 homes through out the country, it is predicted thrtfc Congress will be asked to broaden the home financing program so that the Home Owners' Loan Cor poration will be able to lend money, not only for the prevention of foreclosure but also for the im provement and modernization of homes. Mr. John H. Fahey, chairman of the Home Loan Bank Board, says that only 50,000 new homes were built last year as compared to the normal average of 400,000 per year. By assisting in the con struction . and improvement of homes, it is expected to increase employment in the building trades, which are now twenty per cent of normal. In a recent conversation in the Japanese Diet, the Naval Minister officially confirmed the report that Japan would ask for a better naval ratio. This move is certain to be nnnnspd bv th» United States, where Secretary Swanson has al ready recorded himself. Meanwhile the State Department is keeping a close silence regard ing its plans, but recent legisla tion reveals a determination tc build a treaty navy without regard to what other countries may do. From Tokyo also comes news re vealed in questions before the Diet, that a conference would be sought with the United States to "adjust the many complicated questions" which will arise in 1935 when the next naval conference is to be held. As expected, the President's money bill went through the Sen ate by an overwhelming vote, be ing supported by 55 Democrats, 10 Republicans and one Farmer- Laborite. Against the measure was recorded 22 Republicans and Senator Glass, Democrat. The bill follows the general terms pre viously outlined. Surprising was the strength shown on the amend ment offered by Senator Wheeler for a substantial remonetization of silver, which was defeated by the margin of two votes—4s-43. Subsequently, recognizing the strength of the silver group, an amendment was accepted author izing the Treasury to make full currency use of silver on hand and newly mined silver acquired in ac cordance with the London agree ment. * While protests continue to pour into Washington against the dis continuance of CWA activities on May Ist, the President is appar ently convinced that this should be done. Observers predict that if the spending goes on it will mean that national recovery is far off and that inevitably the government will have to print money to pay its bills and we will have inflation on a large scale. Administration leaders, however, hope that by May Ist recovery will have put agriculture and pri vate industry i n a position to ab sorb many workers and that the President will be able to begin his plan to balance the budget within a year or so. Meanwhile, the President has asked $600,000,000 for direct relief during the re mainder of this fiscal year and the next year, and $350,000,000 for CWA operations. LESTER MIMS, LOCAL BOY, HURT IN WRECK Raleigh, Feb. 3. —Lester Mims, Rocky Mount youth who attends N. C. State college, was in Rex hospital here today with severe injuries received late last night when the car he was driving crash ed with a truck at Hillsboro street and Oberlin Road here.

The accident was one of three of a serious nature in or near Ra leigh late yesterday and last night. Floyd Laws, a Negro, was fat ally injured when struck by a truck as he walked along the Gar net road near here and James Stewart, a Negro, was in a critical condition today from injuries re ceived when a Norfolk Southern train late last night demolished the truck he was driving across a grade crossing near here.

LOCAL YOUTHS WIN HONORS IN DEBATE Additional honors have come to local youths studying at Wake Forest college. Jack Murchison and W. R. Dixon, of this city, were winners in the recent Founder's Day debate at Wake Forest when the question of whether the grant of additional authority to the president of the United States is sound principle. The wo young men represented the negative side of the question, and were warmly applauded for the manner in which they presented their arguments. o Year's cancer discoveries are held most important to date.
