ONLY THREE IN RACE Other News of State Interest FOR GOVERNOR’S JOB (Special To The Herald) Raleigh, Mar. 17—The North Caro lina guebrnatorial contest has now settled down into a three-cornered light in which J. C. B. Ehringhaus, A. J. Maxwell and R. T. Fountain will make the fur fly in the next 11 full weeks until the June 4 primary af ter which another month of a two sided scrape has been freely predict ed. It is probably safe to say neith er can win in the first. Willis Smith, speaker of the 1931 House, decided the past week not to enter the race. The only possible en trant now is solicitor Thomas McNeill, of Lumberton, who has been toying with the idea, but apparently has de cided not to muddy the waters. Some good material has fallen by the way tide. Dennis G. Brummitt, Attorney General nad General Albert L. Cox were considered candidates for two or more years, the first declining to en ter some months ago, and the latter 10 days ago. Josephus Daniels played with the idea and gave it up. Angus Dhu MacLean, never considered a real aspirant, was tooted, but declined. Congressman Lindsay Warren, sug gested, hooted at the thought, and de clared for his friend Ehringhaus. The field is clear of any that might have been obstructions, and the three musketeers have all sallied forth on their tour of conquest. All have hit the trail the past week into the pied mont, where voters are thickest, Eh ringhaus and Fountain in Greensboro, Maxwell in High Pint and Shelby. Later in the week Ehringhaus took to the East and will be near the ocean this week. He announced mean while. that L. P. McLendon, major in the World War, Durham lawyer and former solicitor, prosecutor of the Wallace Davis and Luke Lea bank cases in Ashevple and son-in-law of the late Governor Aycock, will be his manager. •tonucor Cameron Morrison came *vn for a talk with the Daughters at their Durham meeting last week and will do some old time campaign ing in the State, beginning this week. His opponents, Robert R. Reynolds, Frank D. Giist and Ti-u nas C. Bowie, have already taken to the stump. D. F. Giles, Marion, candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, has announced a platform, A. H. (Sa-dy) Graham, ■ Ornage county and D. P Dellinger, Gaston, are quiet, but not so their < prospective opponent, Mrs. E. L. Mc Kee, Sylva, who will talk. Attorney General Dennis G. Brum- i mitt, on behalf of the State, has filed i a complaint in Wake County Superior Court against six gasoline companies, the Standard of New Jersey, the Gulf of Texas, Sinclair, American and Shell, seeking to restrain them from 1 operating under certain exclusive sales contracts they use in securing filling • stations and getting exclusive rights, which Mr. Brummitt holds in viola tion of the State’s anti-trust and trade restraint laws. The action was taken as a result of the investigation made last July by Mr. Brummitt, in which he found, as he set out in his complaint, that j the defendants sold and distributed 221.000. 000 gallons of the 255,000.000 gallons sold in the State in 1931 and that 75 per cent or more of it was sold at stations owned or controlled by them under these exclusive sales contracts. Mr. Brummitt asks the court to de. clare the methods, processes, prac tices and gareements illegal and in violation of the laws of the State, that the exclusive sales contract un lawful and that an injunction issue restraining them from entering furth er into such contracts. “The court should determine whether these ex clusive sales contracts violate our statutes,” Mr. Brummitt said. An important step toward liquidat ing the frozen funds in closed banks in North Carolina is to be taken by Commissioner of banks, Gurney P. Hood, who will seek funds for deposit ors of closed banks from the Recon struction Finance Corporation by pledging such deposits as surety for the loans. Mr. Hood was authorized to take the necessary steps for this result at a meeting of the Advisory Banking Commission, meeting last week, and with an opinion by Attor ney General Dennis Brummitt that such step is legal. About $(50,000,000 is tied u p in dosed State banks in North Caro lina, and it was estamited that at least ten per cent of the amount. 50.000. 000 could be secured and paid to depositors, thus speeding up li quidation and turning loose funds '.eeded in industrial and trade chan nels. Former Governor A. W. McLean las been named by Governor Gardner is a member of the commission, suc :eeding Col. John F. Bruton, Wilson, •esigned. Word H. Wood, Charlotte, H. Bahnson, Winston-Salem. State freasurer Stedman and Attorney General Brummitt are the members. Tyre C. Taylor, Governor Gardner’s :xceutive counsel, is carrying on so nany activities that one newspaper •ditorial squib suggested that it would be necessary to build more fires iround him so there would be one for ill the irons he has.

Governor Gardner announces that while there are now thve vacancies m the special superior court judges, no additional judges wil be appoint ed unless or until it is- necessary to carry on the courts. Tie 20 regular, three special and 1 erne gency judges are eoo-enarting to hod the courts, Governor Gardner said By getting along without namin. iudges to fill the three vacancies, s.vings at the rate of $24,000 a year are being made. Governor Gardner expressing the hope that it will be possible to get along with the present judges and continue saving.
