Judge G. V. Cowper, presiding in Pitt Super ior court, this afternoon declined to grant a petition by the Board of County Commissioner for the tem porary removal of Sheriff S. A. Whitehurst from office pending hear ing of the full issues, but signed an order for full hearing and action on the petition in Superior court here May 9. In dining to grant the temporary removal Judge Cowper declared that the charges were of such gravity that - in justice to all parties concerned be felt that no action should be taken un til the full issue could be heard #>y the court. The petition, signed By the indi vidual members of the County Board, charged the sheriff with extortion, acceptance of bribes, protection of violators of the- liquor laws, failure and?or refusal to perform the duties of his office in turning over to the county of fees collected by his of fice and with .directly or indirectly endeavoring to influence state's wit nesses to the end of procuring "not a true bill" on indictments against him now being heard by the Grand Jury. At the January term of Superior court, indictments against the sheriff and one of his deputies, J. H. Harris, charging bribery and, as to the sher iff, an additional indictment charging him with maladministration of the af fairs of his office, was presented to the Grand Jury. The Grand Jury had not completed its investigation at the end of the January term of court and was ordered by the presiding judge to continue its investigation and re port at the March term. At the March term, the Grand Jury returned true bills against the officers, but when the prosecution i m?A? a motion to set the trial before a special venire, defense counsel countered with a motion to set aside ? the indictments on the ground that in . drawing the jury list for the Jan uary term, from which the Grand ( Jury was selected, because the coun- ( ty commissioners had passed upon the qualifications of the jurors as . they were drawn. Judge Henry A. Grady, presiding over the March term, granted his mo- ^ tidof discharged the jury and set aside , all pending indictments upon which the body had found true bills. The Judge ordered a new jury list be ( drawn for the present term. -?? The new Grand Jury was sworn in at the opening of the April term of court last week and received the in dictments against the sheriff and j Deputy Harris Wednesday of last week, but bad not reported its find- , ings today when the motion on the | petition was made before Judge Cow- ( per.

Yon never know what * woman is going to ask about refrigerators, and woe is the dealer who doesn't know all the answers, according to T. E. Joy ner, manager of Farmville Furniture Co., local General Electric dealers. "Oftentimes a woman will ask more intelligent questions about food pre servation in an hour, than the aver age man could think of in a week," said Mr. Joyner. "She will go over every detail of the refrigerator like a government inspector. Sometimes . she will answer her own questions, be- ! fore the dealer gets a chance., "One woman came in-recently and spent two hoars investigating before she decided to place an order. She tested the finger tip latch, to see for 5 herself whether she could really open j the door of the refrigerator when her A hands were full. : "She asked whether the- shelves ' would slide, and before-1 could an- < swer, she had pulled the top shelf for- , ward, picked up one of the matched ] food containers and wanted to known whether the pottery could be used for ] baking and serving as well as for re-, j frigerator storage. Of course they j could. She was giving the demonstra- t tion and the sales talk; I was the j spectator. In fact, I was getting a ] few pointers on salesmanship. ] "She opened the door of the super- j freezer and released the new Quick i Tray which was full of ice cubes. She said she had never yet seen a tray i that yon didnt have to put under the 1 hot water tap if you wanted ice cubes 1 without a .struggle. I was going to i tell her that she could release two < cubes a second with the 1938 Quick t Tray, but before I could get the 1 words out of my mouth, she had pop ped all the cubes out of the tray onto the counter. 1 "Then I started to tell her about c the capacity of the superfreeser, 4 which will make 480 ice cubes a day, i but she was busy telling me that by taking out one of the vegetable draw- | ers she could easily make space for I a watermelon or turkey. ' "She even told me when I could de liver the refrigerator, before I could ask her. Then she apologized for tak ing so much of my time. Most women listen to facts intently and judge their value in terms of common sense. Every woman is in terested in economy, and here, espec ially, she insists upon facts. There is a wave of save-itis going on in the refrigerator industry, since General Electric has been so successful with its Triple Thrift unit. . jm* "But the questions the housewife t asks about economy are still the * same: How much will the refrigera- 8 tor cost, How much will be current 8 cost me to run it, How long will it * jive service without repair bills. 1 These are the basic points of com- ? petition among electric refrigerators. * ft ia ffllron for trrmjfamT hv an intelli- ^ Cent housewife, that all good electric 1 refrigerators win effect other eav- . ?tags, such as savings on ice and food. * l.i" Arvr) rvb*T> M nr>mM* *A mwli.nUI * Ana wnen it comes to mocnaiucsi i. rpatnwm. of' nOTi fi tinHK t Kr*a itoute that a wmuat doesntfe ' ?* :" ?- ? ? * ?-"'*/ < - Hoey To Name Suc cessor To Liqoor Board Unto Raleigh, April 27. ? Somewhat overlooked In the mad scramble for the Supereme Court place made a va cant by the death of Justice George W. Connor and filled by appointment pf Attorney General A. A. P. Seawell is the fact that Governor Clyde R. Hoey will beforethe end of the week name a member of the State Alcoholic Beerage Control Board to replace Thomas J. Murphy of Gre<uubo*?,| Whose health makes his reappoint ment an impossibility. As between the Supreme Court post f and the; ABC membership there is J really more vital importance to the! latter in the minds of a large per-! centage of the politicians of the state. Any appointee to the high! court can he depended upon to decide 1 the law -as he aegs is to be; but-the! success or failure of the entire scheme I of liquor control, in North Carolina may well depend in Governor Hoey'sl selection of a man to replace Mur-I phy. Whether the state shall retain! its present lawB on the subject or ! whether it shall return to statewide prohibition as_ its policy are in the balance, close observers of the situa tion believe. The present board has been domi-| nated from its formation by its chair- r man, Cutlar Moore, who was named bs reward for his assistance in nomi- , sating Hoey for Governor. Webb Williams, one of the members, has! consistently favored working in close I, cooperation with the county ABC fc boards rather than adopting a dicta- L ;orial attitude toward it. Murphy I has been a figureehad under the com- j, ilete control of Moore. He would L long since have been made a laughing j dock of the state were it not for the! 'act that Raleigh newspaper men have ( learts and realized that the Greene- 1 >oro man's health is so broken as to j nake him. irresponsible for his do-1 lothing status. I The new man, to be appointed this ^ veefe for a period of three years, will < lold the balance of power. So far lis identity is clothed in complete nystery.

(T^^ 1 - ~ ? ? Mu i KW/Wf) (Hugo S. Sim. Washington Corres pondent.) ; :?, :? :y:...; . ? - is this the "Campaign fund [ foe 1938" or the logical Road to full recovery: :j The Presiedntfs new recovery pro grain. outlined to Congress two weeks: ago and explained to the people in a radio address, is derisively referred to as '"the campaign fund for 1988" by the opposition, which includes a number of Democratic members of Congress as well as most of the Re publicans. i While Congress may do consider able ear-marking of funds, the pros pects are that the program will pro ceed. It is important, therefore, for. the people of this country to under stand the background, the. intended results and the consequences of the President's proposal. Briefly, the President argues: The National Income. The national income, which was $80,000,000,000 in 1928, dropped to less than $40,000,000,000 in 1982, but rose to $68,000,000,000 in 1937 as a result of the Administration's acts to reestablish reservoirs of credit, to put purchasing power in the hands of the consuming public, and to secure a more equitable distribution of the na tional income. By the end of 1936, he said, both the business community and the Gov ernment felt that a large measure of the Government's spending activities :ould be reduced. During the win ter and spring- of 1987, cotton fac tories, automobile plants and other ndustries, for various causes, pro iuced goods faster than the consum ers could buy them, and by the au mmen of 1937 had surplus stocks on) land. During the same period prices 4 some products rose faster than was varranted and many commodities vere priced to consumers above the 'inflationary boom prices of 1929." Government Action. ' Naturally, the question arises, did he Government do anything about he situation then? The answer is ' hree-fold: In December, 1936, the rreasury began to "sterlize" incom- ' ng gold from abroad to keep it from * reflating the credit structure of the ( lation; in April', 1987, the Govern- ( nent issued warnings against the 1 tractice of over-production and high; trices; in May, 1937, the Federal Re erve increased its requirements in. irder to curtail banking- credit Lost autumn, says the President, in. a sinrere,.effort to bring Govern lent expenditures ami Government acome into closer balance the budget forked out called for sharp increases:' i Government spending." In Jan-| ary, the Treasury estimate of thei udget for the fiscal year beginning itfy 1st, 1987, reflected considerable urtaOment of Government expendi ture. These estimates, says Mr. tooeevelt, in the light of present con- it litions are "far too low." 1 aessage to Congress, he stated that ! private enterprises did no? pro ide jobs this spiring, the'?Govern lent would take up tin al^": m and a half jtears, recovery pro eeded apace, but the course of our , , . . , ; \^IlUIinv9Ull9 aUIi AUVtiipcl^: lurjloli ? ?I# H# U ' 1 iI al. a ?' *h " ' v ? .^| . ? . * , ? % a ? _ I JR i n?# '13E* -?^?J??P< ?

A high auttytdr ty tonight disclosed the German Government pians to take over all Jewish property "in due course of time" and to encoiuvge Jews to emi grate from Germany. This disclosure was made in ex planation of a new. decree requiring the approximately 750,000 Jews in Greater Germany to register their fortunes and properties both at home and abroad. The decree was Issued today by' Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goering, No. 2 Nasi, as director of Germany's four-year plan to gain economic independence. "The decree is intended to place I on a legal footing the gradual elimi nation of the Jew from German busi ness life, in that he is to be assured that the properties declared are ac tually his and will not simply be taken away from him by unauthorised ac tion," the authority said. ?' - ? /? r?7-? - Entertains In Honor Mrs. Robert Oakley Maury, April 28. ?
