Ijp ? :renton, county of wa May Be Impossible To Comply With Demands, ?Leach Commenting on the part of the report which dealt with her office, Miss Lucy Leach, county welfare officer, stated this week that she believed that it would be impossible to carry out the recommendations. She said that she doubted if the stare, which snnnlements t.he relief funds, would permit such a practice and that in the event it did it would require additional office help to assist her in making up the reports and probably a special edition of The Warren Record to publish them- She stated that while she did not wish to criticise the grand jury, she felt that the members die. not fully realize the workings of the Social Security Act. The recommendation in regard to an audit for a five year period has drawn forth various commenls, with some expressing the opinion that it meant just what it said, "the entire county financial affairs," while others have expressed the belief Kiiiiu 11/ uicani/ \Jiuy uiic xiiuncj it ceived and paid out by the commissioners. For some time there has been talk of getting the commissioners to publish monthly a detailed report of expenditures and the last grand jury took a step in this direction by recommending that the commissioners order a quarterly audit and have this published, which was done two weeks ago. The cost of the audit for a five year period and publication of same have not been figured. Lewis S.

C. FRIDAY, JA] GRAND JURY ASKS A COUNTY AUDIT Requests That Statement Of Relief Expenditures Be Published In Paper REPORT GOES TO CLERK A desire that the light of publicity be turned on relief beneficiaries and that complete knowledge of the handling of financial affairs in this ( county for the past five years be made known to the public through an audit and published reports was expressed by members of the grand jury in their report which was submitted to Clerk of Court William Newell around 4 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. Regarding tl^ese two matters, the report stated: "We recommend that ~ ~ 1 ? 14^4. w\ <x uuiiipiete liao ui tiic iiouico uj. iclief beneficiaries be made and the amounts given each be published in the county paper," and "We recommend that an audit be made of the entire county financial affairs for the five years prior to October, 1937, and be published in our county paper." The recommendation relative to relief cases was made, it is understood, on account of complaints coming from farmers that when they attempt to hire what appears to them to be available workers they are told by them that they are on relief and do not desire to worn, auu lunner, mat sum puolicity would have a tendency to cur. tail the relief load by letting every one in the community know just who is receiving financial assistance from the county, state and federal governments.

Redmand, reputed to be a member of a large gang of negroes operating throughout North Carolina wjth headquarters at Durham, was identified In the Durham jail Sunday afternoon by Pink Rodwell, Norlina negro, as one of the two men who held him up as he left the Warrenton post office with $80.00 he had received from a money order and relieved him of the cash. The man who was said to have been with Redmand at the time of the robbery has not been apprehended. Rodwell's wife was with him when live negroes were brought from cells of the Durham jail for the purpose of identification and she, too, pointed out Redmand as the man who had been to her husband's home on several occasions. Redmand, who was in a poker game when he was taken in custody by Durham police for Sheriff WJ. Pinnell on suspicion, denied his guilt when he was identified by Rodwell and his wife. His denial aroused the ire of Rodwell to the point where he was ready to fight about the matter, but before any licks were passed Sheriff Pinnell intervened. Redland was brought to Warrenton, given a preliminary hearing and placed under $1,000 bond. He it being held in the Louisburg jail | for his appearance in Warrer j county Superior court due to the fact that the Warren jail is undergoing repairs. The gang to which Redmand is said to belong is alleged to have operated in Warrenton and i credited with the theft of several hundred dollars worth of clothes from the Warrenton Departmeni Store several months ago. Must Pay Payroll Tax Promptly Raleigh, Jan 20.?Attention o employers of North Carolina i called to several important phase: in the Unemployment Compensa tion Law administration at the beginning of the New Year by Charles G. Powell, chairman of the commission, as follows: Unless the full amount of ths 1.8 per cent of 1937 payrolls of cov ered employers is paid to the statf commission during this month, th< U. S. Bureau of Internal Revenu< will assess and collect the full tw( per cent levied by the Federa | Government, and not just the two. j tenths of one per cent. The state commission is required by the state law to collect the 1.8 per cent which means, that if covered employers fail to pay the state commission in January, they cannot get credit for the state payment and will thus have to pay 3.8 pel cent, instead of two per cent foi 1937. The rate of contributions foi 1938 and thereafter is three pel cent, levied by the Federal Government, of which the state commission collects 2.7 per cent monthly and the Bureau of Internal Revenue collects three-tenths of one pei cent after the end of this year. The rate was .9 per cent in 1936 and 1.8 per cent in 1937. Quarterly wage reports, of the wages earned by workers during the last quarter of 1937, are due in January. Any employers who have not made reports for earlier quarters in 1937 should do so at once, as the state law is very specific in levying a fine and imposing a sentence for failure to make the required reports at the time desig. nated. The commission lias been as lenient as possible, but will bave tc enforce the law on deliquent employers, in order to make the proper payments to eligible unemployed workers, Director E. W* Price of the Unemployment Compensation Division advises. Miss Elba McGbwan spent the week end with Miss Huldah Nobles at Wilmington. Miss Claire Benthall of Littleton was a week end guest of Miss Emalvne Evans at Hotel Warren. Miss Mary Randolph spent the week end with her mother at Falson.
