^Directors Adopt Baseball Schedule In Meeting Last Night Williamston To Open Season In Tarboro Providing Williamston And Tarboro Are in the League Season To Open ()n April 25 And Close On HOth Of August Tarboro Hatt Chance To Sell Franchise To Wilmington. Marrow Says a Coastal Plain Baseball League di rectors adopted a playing schedule and wound up all arrangements for the next season at a call meeting of the group held in New Bern last night, the officials holding forth un til almost midnight in straightening out the kinks and settling disputes before the disputes presented them selves. The 1940 baseball curtain will be hoisted in the circuit on Thursday, April 25. and lowered on August 30. allowing 128 games with only one day of rest from start to finish Wil liamston is slated to open against Tarboro provided Williamston and Tarboro are still keeping company with Golds bo ro. New Bern. Kinston. Wilson, Greenville and Snow Hill. The clubs have not been called as yet to post $600 bonds, and the exact color of the league will hardly be determined before the call is made and the cash is placed in Judge But despite the uncertainty of the personnel of the league roster, the directors at the meeting last night generally assumed that Wil liamston and Tarboro would string along this coming season, and the erything was definitely establish ed. There was a little argument ov er the schedule, but the directors finally agreed that it was an im provement over the one last year and it was unanimously adopted. Buck Marrow, owner of the Tar hnrn franchise, tn)d meeting that Wilmington was greatly interestedjn^ taking over the club. The directors, withholding drfiM'fe ?as to how they would vote if Wilmington should apply for a berth, frankly stated that they wanted to see Tar boro continue in the circuit, and that they would do all they could to help Tarboro retain its berth in the cir cuit. While it was more or less believ ed at the last-night meeting that Mr. J. Eason Lilley would continue the operation of the local club, the fate of baseball here rests upon ac tion of sports and fans. The meeting, attended by repre sentatives of all clubs, was the last scheduled before the season opens, and the directors talked about var ious matters falling more or less in- i to the detailed group. Headed by President R. H. Good - . man, the meeting was entertained at New Bern's famous sea food place. I Things To Watch I For In The Future Noiseless adding machines, to match noiseless typewriters .... Shaving soap containing soya bean extract, to stop bleeding from razor nicks . . . Auto mudguard with sand box, operated by driver, to sprinkle sand over wheels in slippery spots . . . Steering wheel that can be rais ed or lowered to suit girth of the driver. B \SKB \l.l. Admittedly worried over the new player classification and hesitant about "firing" or re leasing nearly all of his faithful old players. Club President J. Eason Lilley is still undecided in his plans for operating the local Coastal Plain entry this coming season. Independent ob servers now see the turning ~ point in the action local sports and fans will take. If local peo ple come across and pledge their cooperation it is possible Mr. Lilley will rontinur to operate the club. l/ocal fans have arranged no mreting. but it is possible that some action will he taken by early next week. League Clul>s Slow In Signing- Players Just now hardly a single club in the Coastal circuit has enough eligi ble ball players to round out a sand lot team, league officials in a meet ing held last night in New Bern de claring they were combing the woods and shaking the bushes for new ma -tenJl. 'l'he Search is being advanc ed on a nation-wide scale and com* pared with a man-hunt conducted by the F B I Several clubs are still without managers, late reports indicating that Kube Wilson will return to Greenville and that Bill Herring will pilot-. Hie Golds bom Bugs. "Mule" Shirley is definitely out, according to the* reports, and possibly String fellow will succeed Herring at Kins ton. Although there is one chance out of a big thousand that the new classification will be altered, several lllll'S in the league _ hnv?> already sold some of their players. Most of the sales were conditional ones. Taxes Causing Much Concern In Congress P The big question here is: "Will ? Congress increase taxes in an elec tion year? President Roosevelt looks with favor on a 10 per cent "super tax" on the income tax?primarily to help pay increased national de fense costs- A man or woman who ordinarily pays an income tax of say $40 each year, would find himself owing $44 on March 15. 1941, Under this proposal. The only alternatives ! to raising taxes are for Congress to get really serious about economizing , or to follow the course of the last : few years of letting the deficit mount by three billion dollars or more an-1 nually. The latter "out" isn't as easy ! as it looks either, because the na-j tional debt is restricted by law to I $45,000,000,000. Without new taxes I or economy, the debt surely would ' go beyond this mark in the 1941 fis-1 cal year. Therefore, Congress would I have to amend the debt limitation law, which in an election year might, be embarrassing politically. So any- | way you look at it, the tax prob-1 lem is really a political dilemma this year. In Greenville Yesterday Mr. D. V. Cla>ton was a business I visitor in Greenville yesterday.

Krducc I'nwul Slum* And Aid Lou-Knit llon-iim I Yo^rum Washington, I) C. Mure than a quarter of a billion dollars are be ing put into circulation through building trades materials industries by the present slum-clearance and low-rent housing program of the United States Housing Authority. These materials, which an- item ized in an analysis issued by the US1IA today, are ihe products of more than n ncore of Aineiiian in dustries. The items, according to estimated expenditures per industry for the entire $770,000,000 program, range from $1,300,000 for glass and putty to $30,700,000 for plumbing equip ment and materials, Thousands of tons of .steel, iron, other metals and alloys, bricks, ce ment and stone and millions of feet of lumber are included in these esti mates, together with huge purchases of concrete products, electrical ma terials, fixtures and machinery, heat ing and ventilating equipment and materials! flooring and roofing, and movable dwelling equipment. The estimated total cost of con struction materials for the entire pro gram of 160,000 dwelling units is. $280,000,000 This total cost approximates the respective expenditures oi France and Germany in constructing their famed Moginot and Siegfried lines and the materials are much the same in kinds and quantities. The Maginot line in France is about 125 miles long and its estimat ed cost was approximately $2,000,000 a mile. No, data are available con cerning the Siegfried line in Ger many, but the cost of construction is estimated at somewhat more than that of the Maginot line. Materials used to construct these miles of I steel and concrete forts and trenches ?and much of their equipment oth er than armament?were the same as arc being used in the USHA pro Kium mlhuiTir^yaff urnr^saniifliv homes for low income American families. " Commenting on, the economic ben efits of this large use of the products" of American industries, Nathan Strau, administrator of the United States Housing Authority, asserted: "These millions of dollars injected into the bloodstream of American business flow through virtually ev ery artery of commercial and pro fessional, as well as industrial enter prise in our country. They arc a vi talking influence on the entire body "The wages paid to the workers in the more than a score of industries from which these construction ma terials are being purchased, for ex ample, stimulate local business in the hundreds of communities in which the mills and other plants are located. These millions of dollars going into pay envelopes are trans lated into more sales for local shops, garages and theatres and fees for doctors, dentists and other profes sional practitioners."
