Berlin. .Tune o.— (A*) —Feted and
feasted, ever s'nee they landed on 1
Berman soil after their flight from
New York, Clarence Chamberlin ami
Chas. A. Levine were on the thresh l
old today of still furthev honors. The
enthusiasm of the country over the j
flight knows no bounds, and organize-1
tions and individuals are competing
to entertain the airmen.
Among the many suggestions that
have been made, ifis that when Cham-1
herlin returns to the T’nited States hej
be taken aboard a Berman warship,
preferably the cruiser Berlin.
"This honor.” says the Aehtur
Abenblatt “would show the American
people move than anything else hew
proud Gerinapy is over the fnct that
the two countries are not divided any
longer by the ocean."
On Saturday the two nvintors plan
to fly to I’ottsdam, in the company ofr
leading German air league officials. I
Next day they expect to fly to Vienna. I
They will return to Berlin Thursday, j
proceeding by air to Brenu-nhave l to

Sueli enthus'asm as has been arous-1
ed over the flight is rarely seen 1n j

‘or an odic’&l dinner, thev were con-1
stantly obliged to acknowledge greet- 1
lugs.
The populace not only talks about
the two American* but sings about

to the tune of a well known Berman !
ditty is heard everywhere. It
gins: /Chamberlin, Chamberli i. lass

Hie newspapers are filled with tw-'
umns of description of the flight and I
its significance, and praise for Cham

with a view later to "bombing at

! WAGE INCREASES A&E
. ( GRANTED AT MEETING
Salary and Wage Commission Grants
i Sow* WO Increases in State Sal-
I artes. .

| By J. C. BASKKRVILL.
j Raleigh, June 9.—Having met ami
granted some 500 increases in salaries
, for state employes and then .adjourn
ed. the Salary and Wage <'oininissioii
is today being looked tipoil as an
"aliyost human" aggregation by the
majority of state workers for the
first time in its existence.
But the commission did not grant
i these increases, which will aggregate
approximately $70,000 a year, to the
state employes jitst to "get in good"
with them, hut because it considered
that the increases should be granted,
■ and that increased efficiency, with
I corresponding economy to (he state,
I would result.
“The salary and wage commission
is ready ami willing to do what is
I just and what is right—and. its mein
j bers are not hard-hearted automatons,
as some would believe," said a depart
ment head who has been noted for his
opposition to the commission. “I be
live it is going to do the fair thing
whenever it can.” And it granted
the increases which he appeared before
it to seek.
“In one sense, it is impossible for
s group of men like the salary ami
wage commission to judge the effici
ency and devotion to duty of em
j ployes concerning whom they know
I nothing, ami concerning whom the
, head of the department knows much,"
I said another .department head. “But
because of the variigis conditions and
circumstances, some such body be
-1 comes necessary. But 1 found the
j members of the commission sincerely
'interested in the welfare of the state
, workers and ready to reward real
merit.
I "I sincerely believe that when any
J department head goes before the cont-
I mission, and can show it that certain
1 employes really deserve increases in
salaries, and that more efficient work
will result,, that the commission will
jbe ouly too glad to grant it. The
trouble comes when department heads
make hilt indiffereut requests for in
creases. and pass the buck to the com-
I mission to tun> them down. Tbot.Js

FRANCE HOPES FOR
BETTER DEBT PLAN
1 WITH THIS NATION
1 Premier Says He Realizes
l Contract Now in Vogue
Will Not Be Approved
by French Government.
PAYMENT MADE
ON THE DEBTS
The Premier Explains That
This Was Done so to
Make Further Negotia
tions Possible Soon.
Paris, June 9.— UP) —Premier Poin
care told the chamber of deputies to
day lie hoped to get better debt set
tlement terms from the T'nited States,
and that he intended to try particu
larly as he realized that the French
parliament would not ratify the ac
cords with America and Great Brit
ain in their present form.
The Premier Raid that was why he
had made the "provisional" payments
on the debt account—so as to keep
free to renew the negotiations.
Hie declaration came after he had
remarked that "the French parlia
ment does not seem to wish to ratify”
the accords, drawing from Jacques
Dubois, who was under secretary of
finance under Caiilaux the question:
"Are you proposing that the chamber
ratify them?"
The chamber suddenly frnmed into
interest and pressed the Premier for
an explanation.
"I do not propose ratification of
the accords,” he said, "because I hope
to obtain better terms, and because
parliament certainly would not agree
to bind the country for 62 years.
“That is why I voluntarily propos
ed provisional payments, so we would
retain our freedom of action to nego
tiate on a uew basis. Blit in order
that we may fear nothing and be truly
independent of our creditor countries,
don't you think it would be useful to
have foreign monies, and particular
ly monies that did not come from those
creditor countries?”

tion bobbed up. were debating conces

Raleigh, June 9.—801 l weevils are
now reported as being Commonly found
on cotton growing in Scotland and
Robeson counties, the first authentic
record of their occurence having been'
sent to tile Department of Agriculture
by J. A. Harris, of the lflvisiou of
Entomology. Harris reported having
found six weevils in one field on June
0. ufter having examined a thousand
plants. At this rate the weevil pop
ulation is about 300 per acre, which
is about the same rate of infestation
that was found, in the early summer
of 1923 on cotton plants before they
showed squares. The winter survival
of weevils was shown to have been
greater than during the three preced
ing winters.
The Mexican bean beetle is now
“on the rampage' in the western part
of the State, it is indicated by a
statement given out by Dr. R. W.

County Accountants Can Go
Ahead With New Budgets
The Tribune Bureau
'Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, June 9. —It is not neoes
■ sary for the county accountants to
I wait to make up their ‘budgets until
j} a complete settlement Os the 1926
J taxes has been made as some seem to
j think, especially in those counties
*1 where the sale of land for taxes has
L? been halted by injunction proceedings,
", according to the county government
ej advisory commission here. For it is
merely necessary for the county ac
i i oiintant to show tile amount of un
:jj collected taxes on his balance sheet,
and then he can go ahead and make
j up ljis budget accordingly.
S But although this has been ex
| plained to the county commissioners
I and others from time to time by the
advisory commission there are still
L indications that there is much con-
I fusion in the minds of county officials
as to the procedure to be followed with |
regard to county fiscal matters ini
Jtliose counties where restraining or-'
ders have been issued, according to.
re|iorts being received by the commis
sion here.
• Thus tbe county accountants and
: commissioners are in error if they
. think it is necessary to delay the
making up of the county budgets
• either to await the Rale of land for
t taxes or because of injunctions, or
; for any other reason, since tbe law
■ requires that the budget be made up
i in June. And because the budget is
l purely theoretical at the time it is
! made up. it is not necessary to have
i anything more than the estimates on
i the balance sheet.
; Thus all the county accountant
■ needs to complete his budget gsti
' mates is a balance sheet, which will
show among the assets the uncollected
| taxes for the year 1926. The ques
tion of settlement by the sheriff or
tax collector does not enter into these
proceedings at this time.

irff, which some county accountants
think necessary before their budgeting
can be done, would represent exactly
the same thing as the balance sheet
which the county accountant himself
ought to prepare.
The budget estimates to be prepared
this month by the county accountant
and submitted to the board of county
commissioners not later than the first
Monday of July falls into these di
visions. One consists of • his esti
mate of the amounts necessary to be
appropriated for the different activi
ties of the county and, sub-divisions
for the next fiscal year, and is based
on information already furnished him
by the heads of departments and of
ficers in charge of functions. These
figures have to do only with estimated
expenditures for the next fiscal year,
which begins July.
A second division of the budget is
an itemized estimate of the revenue
| to be available during the ensuing
I fisenl year from sources other than
, tax levies. In analyzing the assets
according to his balance sheet, the
county accountant should bear in
mind, however, that a portion of the
uncollected taxes showing in the bal
ance sheet may be actually uncollecta
ble by reason of insolvents, errors and
overcharges and tax sales. This es
timate of uncollectables may be based
on information furnished by the sher
iff or tax collector, and on previous
experience with such items.
Third, any unencumbered balance of
the revenues of the current fiscal year
on hand June 30th as reflected in
this balance sheet must also be in
cluded in the budget estimate.
When these two last named di
visions of the budget estimate are set
up, the excess of the estimated ex
penditures for the next fiscal year
over the revenue to be available'from
sources other than tax levies and the
unencumbered balance, if any, will i
represent the amount to be provided
by the tax levy.

i- The monarch of the deep was sight
pt ed off the starboard bow dobn after
e four bells in the forenoon watch, or,
- in other words, at ten a. m. It was
d a blu 11 whale, out for a morning feed,
f and was accompanied by a number of
e cows all cruising in the same direc
!l tion as the Memphis but at slower
- speed.
s When the lookout called sharply the
old familiar cry: "There she blows,
r , broad on the starboard bow" Ensign '
i William Kreig, officer of the deck,

'i a fine view of Moby Dick’s brother
I of the sen. The bull wallowed along
in the offing for nearly half an hour,
