1 North Carolina the Vjation 5 (Capitol BY JULIA G. ERWIN (Tribune Washington Bureau) Washington, Jan. 31 — Neither of two North Carolina agricultural leaders who have been under con sideration for appointment as as sistant secretary of agriculture is l likely to get the job, it was learn * ed this week. The two. Harry s. Caldwell of 1 Greensboro, longtime leader of the “ North Carolina State Grange, and David S. Coltrane of Raleigh, vet y; eran state agriculture department - official. Caldwell, young and aggressive, is the type man Secretary Charles F. Brannan has been seeking as his aide, but it was understood 1 from reliable sources that Cald - well had taken himself out of the picture by indicating he would not accept the appointment if it » were offered. 1 Coltrane is not entirely out of ■ the picture yet. Sources close to - Brannan said that he was “still ! under consideration,” but at the * same time, indicated that Brannan is seeking a younger man for what 1 he expects to be a number of back-breaking assignments. There is a strong possibility, however, that Coltrane still will ' come to Washington in some ex - ecutive capacity with the Agricul 1 ture Department, but there was no ^ indicating just what the nature of this post would be. The 'nfw Undersecretary’'of - State, James E. Webb of Oxford, : HowTo Relieve \ Bronchitis 1 Creomulsion relieves promptly because it goes right to the seat of the trouble to help loosen and expel germ laden phlegm and aid nature to soothe and heal raw, tender, inflamed bronchial mucous membranes. Tell your druggist to sell you a bottle of Creomulsion with the understanding you must like the way it quickly allays the cough or you are to have your money back. ' CREOMULSION for Coughs,Chest Colds, Bronchitis received high praise on the floor of the Senate. Following Webb’s confirmation by the Senate, Senator Clyde R. Hoey arose to pay tribute of the young Tar Heel. Hoey said, “North Carolina is very proud of the man who is now Undersecretary of State. James E. Webb is a young man of unusual ability, high in tegrity, and a great credit to his state and the nation.” Senator Hoey also pointed out that Webb has already had a “broad background of public ser vice.” A Forest City man will be the the new Assistant Counsel for the Senate Investigating Subcommit tee headed by Sen. Clyde R. Hoey, it was learned in Washington to day. The North Carolina Senator is expected to announce within the next day day or two the appoint ment of James H.

Gray has agreed to suspend, in sofar as it applies to projects al ready under way, his ruling pro h i b i t i n g the employment of veterans engaged in on-the-job vocational training on projects which have monetary value. Gray, who said he had issued the ruling on the advice of the VA solicitor’s office, said he was personally certain the ruling was sound, but that he would ask Attorney General Tom Clark for another ruling. # Meanwhile, he said, veterans may continue work on any pro jects already under way. They will not be eligible, however, for gov ernment-aided training on new projects of this type. Gray was told by the Tar Heels the ruling was seriously handi capping the building trades in North Carolina, and was having an adverse effect on the training of veterans in these trades. The congressmen present at the ; conference included Reps. C. B. i Deane of Rockingham, Monroe M. Redden of Hendersonville and ( Graham A. Barden of New Bern. John McConnell, administrative j assistant to Sen. J. Melville ! Broughton, also took part. Deane said following the con- ] ference he had scores of com- ] plaints from the state concerning | the ruling, including one from J. i Warren Smith, director of voca- ( tional training for the State De- c partment of Public Instruction. ; Rep. Monroe M. Redden, of Hendersonville, former State Dem ocratic Chairman, attacked the Senate custom of filibustering as . thwarting the will of the people, in an address Tuesday night be fore the North Carolina Democrat ic Club of Washington at the Willard Hotel. Mr. Redden felt the same way about the now outlawed House rules under which the Rules Com mittee could bottle up forever a bill reported out by another com mittee. He was among the major ity of House members who recent ly voted for a change that clipped the wings of the Rules Committee. Redden was introduced by the president of the club, John A. Lang, of Carthage, secretary to Rep. Charles B. Deane, of Rock ingham. The congressional guests included Mrs. Redden, the former Marybelle Boyd, of Oxford; Mrs. J. Melville Broughton, of Raleigh, wife of the State’s new junior Senator, who was unable to be present; Rep. and Mrs. F. Ertel Carlyle, of Lumberton, and Rep. Deane. The speaking was followed by the showing of a film advertising the coming Wilmington Azalee Festival, April 1-2-3, and by a social hour with refreshments. Clifford E. Brown, of Clyde, sec retary to Redden, was elected sec ond vice president of the club, succeeding Frank Sanders of Tar boro, clerk of the House Appro priations Subcommittee under Rep. John H. Kerr, of Warrentoif, who resigned the post. Miss Betty Oliver, of Sanford, was introduced to the club as a clerk of the Senate Investigating Subcommittee, of which Senior Senator Clyde R. Hoey, of Shelby, is chairman. William D. Kizziah, of Salis bury, register of deeds of Rowan County, was recommended for United States Marshal for the Middle District of North Carolina by Senator Clyde R. Hoey. Sen. J.
