TEACHER PENSION PLAN ‘ASSURED Broughton Says He Will Back Recommendations Of Committee -RALEIGH, Dec. 14.—(S’1—Pen sions for North Carolina public school teachers and all other s employes seemed assured tonight, after Governor-elect Broughton an nounced that he would support the pension recommendations of a spe cial legislative commission which has been studying the feasibility of establishing a retirement system., The first indication of Broughton s support came at a meeting this after noon of educational leaders repre senting most of the major school organizations in the state. The gov ei-nor-elect, speaking briefly at the meeting, said he expected, the 1941 general assembly to approve pen sions for all state employes. Later, Broughton told newsmen they might interpret that remark as meaning that he favored the recom mendations of the special legislative commission. The commission recent ly made public a plan under which the state would pay about $1,500,000 a year to establish the retirement fund. Since no opposition has been voiced to the commission’s proposal, it appeared certain that the legis lature would pass a Broughton-sup ported bill embodying the recommen dations. 6 MILLION MORE JOBS BY 1942 (Continued From Page One) simpler elements, which can be performed by workers with only a few months’ training ” This process of dilution “strikes at the basis of the trade union by disintegrating the trade itself,” the research staff contended. “Dilution is a one-way road, and it will not be possible after the crisis to restore to the skilled trades the work which has been lost to them in the meantime. “Naturally, therefore, the unions want to delay the process until it is absolutely necessary. They seem willing to compromise, however, provided the new semi-skilled workers are paid the rate previ ously earned by journeymen on the same work.” The report stressed the desirabil ity of having both labor and em ployers represented on all agen cies working out questions of train ing and dilution. 1 rtL/V IjIV 1 I kJXJXYAXX Lemon Juice Recipe Checks Rheumatic Pain Quickly If you suffer from rheumatic, ar thritis or neuritis pain, try this sim ple inexpensive home recipe that thousands are using.

Con struction will lie started January 1 and will be completed about April 1. Lieut. Col. Reading Wilkinson of Charleston, S- C-, Army engineer corps district engineer, will be corps supervisor of the Charlotte project, the contract for which will be let to a private contractor within a few days. Wilkinson, releasing the informa tion by telephone to the Charlotte News, said he would be succeeded as Army district engineer by Col. W. P. Ladue, Army engineer corps, retired, who has been recalled tc active duty. The Charlotte water department and the WPA Monday will start building a $39,000 pipe line for the base, for which a limited water sup ply now is available. About 2,000 officers and men will be stationed at the base. FEET WORRY LALANNE CHAPEL HILL, N.

Mr. Roosevelt found the sites at the islands of Jamaica, St. Lucia, and Antigua in the Caribbean met the qualifications of supplying anchorage for essential maintenance and supply ships and areas for sea and land plane operators. But at Mayaguana island in the Bahamas, where a special board had recommended that a plane base be located at shallow, reef-smeltered Abrahamas Bay, he said anchorages were poor and that efforts would be made to find something better. That was one of the matters he discussed yesterday when the cruise was climaxed by his first meeting since 1919 with the Duke of Windsor. WEIGHTY PROBLEMS WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. —UP)— Many weighty problems and a desk piled high with work await Presi dent Roosevelt when he returns to the White House Monday from his Caribbean cruise. Within the next three weeks, the chief executive must prepare twTo important documents for presenta tion to the new congress meeting in January. The first is the budget for the fiscal year beginning June 1, and the other is his annual mes sage on “the state of the union." Executive departments already have sent data to the White House for Mr. Roosevelt's use in preparing these messages. The President also will find on his desk the W'alter-Logan bill, a measure highly distasteful to some administration aides. He must act upon it by Wednesday, or allow it to become law- without his signature, and Washington, generally, expects a veto. The bill would broaden the jurisdiction of the courts over the decisions and procedure of such governmental agencies as the labor board and the communications com missions. Foremost among policy matters which appear pressing for decisions are tire questions of financial aid for Great Britain and energizing the defense program. Defense efforts admittedly are lag ging.

Davis was convicted Friday in New Hanover recorder’s court of violating the lottery law, a mis demeanor, and was fined $1,000 and the costs of court, and sen tenced tq serve four months on the state highways.

Sheriff Jones said Smith will be turned over to Greensboro autho rities for trial on the condition that he will then be brought back to New Hanover county for trial. He was arrested at his apart ment in Oleander, fashionable Wilmington suburb, where, Jones said, he has maintained an estab lishment for about six weeks but where, the sheriff said, he has spent little time. In September a capias for Smith was received here from Greens boro and at that time Ralph Smith, reportedly a brother of George, was arrested and sent to Greens boro.
