The remaining two are on the Sen ate calendar for Monday night. Governor Gregg Cherry made Legislative news this week by an nouncing the final results of the teachery-salary controversy. The teacher compromise specified that the emergency salary schedule for teachers be paid monthly during the next fiscal year if the unap propriated surplus in the general fund on June 30 is sufficient to pay the full amount or any amount in multiples of $2.50, Any part of the emergency salary unpaid on June 30, 1946, will then be paid if the unappropriated surplus is suf ficient. Governor Cherry said the teachers have been given by this legislature what amounts to three raises. Another bitter tight was settled this week when a special commit tee appointed to investigate the advisibility of separating the divis ion of game and inland fisheries of separating the division of game and inland fisheries from the de partment of conservation and de velopment turned thumbs down on the separation. The committee re port. which calls for. a strong de partment organization, was placed! on the House and Senate records. Two bills increasing license rates for hunters and fishermen and providing for the additional moneys to be used in propagation of game and fish were introduced in the Senate today by Sen. Smith of Stanly, chairman of the com mittee on conservation and devel opment. The increases would range from 50 cents to SI, raising some of the fees from two to three dollars and those in the higher brackets from 15.25 to §15.75. A 25 cent tax would be levied on each deer killed by North Carolina hunters. "Bills creating a state cancer conf mission, providing for the regula tion of oil and satural gas in the state and calling for a constitution al amendment to lower the voting age from 21 to 18 years hit the crowded hoppers this wedk. Com mittees, tackling steadily increas ing stacks of bills, held public hearings on measures to prevefft the taking of fingerprints of per sons charged with misdemeanors, and to regulate the new and used car business. A public hearing for proponents of a bill calling for a liquor referendum six months after the war was held Thursday; opponents of the bone dry measure, intro duced by Sen. Rose of Cumberland will be heard Tuesday. A statewide medical care and hospitalization bill, expected al most daily since the beginning of the session, is expected to be ready for introduction Monday night. -V Through the efforst of Neal Dow. the first prohibition bill ever pass ed in the United States was put through the Maine legislature in 1846. -- Receives War Bond Prize A L. Donald (Donnie) Smith, winner of the Star-News street sales contest sponsored by Street Sales Manager Fred D. Fisher, is pictured above receiving his prize of a War Bond from his boss. Young Smith won over 25 other youths taking part in the contest. His sales averaged more than 165 a day. The 13-year-old street sales champion regularly invests part of his pap^r-selling profits in the purchase of war bonds and stamps. His ambition when he grows up is to become a newspaperman._ Manpower Control Plans Hold Capital Spotlight WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—— What kind of manpower control leg islation congress will enact, if any, still is anybody’s guess. The No. 1 job President Roose velt gave the legislators in his annual message is a long way from completed although it again got most of the attention at the capitol this week. The measure finally hammered together by the Senate Military committee faces a gantlet of pro posed amendments when it reach es the senate floor. And it differs so radically from the house-ap proved bill that, if it passes the senate, the house undoubtedly will demand considerable revision be fore accepting it. Whereas the house bill would ap ply only to civilian men aged 18 to 45, the senate measure would affect all persons regardless of age or sex. The house bill directs penalties at workers who leave es sential iobs without draft board permission or refuse to take es sential work on draft board or ders. The senate committee's re draft would aim the penalties pri marily at employers who disre garded employment ceilings set by the War Manpower commission. While this wartime measure con tinued bogged down, congress shuttled over to the White House another post-war bill. This is a $500,000,000 authorization for im provements to rivers and harbors. With war expenditures requiring heavy borrowing, the House Ways and Means committee began con sideration of raising the lid on the amount Ihe treasury may borrow. The ceiling now is $260,000,000. 000 and a bill before the commit ■ _ __— ---—~ tee would boost it to $300,000,000, 000. With little legislation before it, the senate met only twice and mostly neard speeches. One was by Senator Taft (R.-Ohio) against the nomination of former Vice President Henry Wallace as sec retary of commerce. There will be a lot more oratory when that sub ject actually comes up next Thurs day. The Senate Foreign Relations committee, which expects to pass on a lot of treaties before the congress ends, cleared one. It is a pact with Mexico on division of water of the Rio Grande and Colo rado rivers, California senators will fight it on the floor. The committee also looked over and indicated it would approve a watered-down version of a pro posed Anglo-American oil treaty. It would establish an international commission which could make recommendations but would have no authority to enforce them. _ FOUND NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—(£>)— When Corp. Joseph P. Keys comes home from a Japanese prison camp he can spare him self that needle-in-a-haystack search for Anna Marie Con nelley, the girl he left in Brook lyn. Anna Marie is married to a sailor. More than that, the sailor is home on a 30-day leave, she said today, and is not pleased to read in the papers that a guy from Pittsburg wants to see his wife. Key’s guest was made known yesterday by his parents, who said he had lost Anna Marie’s address when he was captured on Luzon but that he wanted them to “ask her to wait.’’ Liberated by American troops, he planned to start combing Brooklyn’s 75 square miles in the hope of finding her— —a project that surprised Anna Marie, who said: “He was a nice boy. We went out a few times. That was all.” --V- . BUY WAR BONDS AND STAMPS Police Investigate Burney Home Break-in City police were continuing an investigation yesterday into the break-in of the home of Judge John J. Burney, of 1704 Orange street between the hours of 7 and 10 p. m. Friday. The superior court jurist told of ficers that every room in his house had been ransacked, after the win dow shades were lowered to pre vent detection from the outside. Approximately $2 in cash was re moved from a chest of drawers. Police reported that entrance to the home apparently was made through a rear window while the Burney family was away. -V— Some 100,000 miles of blood ves sels distribute the blood that takes food and oxygen to all parts of the human body and carries off its waste. NEWSBOY SMITH WINS WAR BOND -— i Thirteen-year-old L. Donald] Smith, of 813 South Front street, ] has another War Bond for his i collection as the result of winning the Star-News street sales con test sponsored by Fred D. Fisher, street sales manager. The newsboy averaged selling 165 copies of the News daily for the length of the contest to edge out 25 other boys. Edward Miles, 15, of Winter Park, was runner up with an average of 140 per day. Young Donnie has an ambition to be newspaper man when he grows up. Before he enters the newpaper field, however, he said he would like to serve a “hitch” in the Navy. He is one of a group of some twenty-five street sales boys who sell the Wilmington News every afternoon and he averages about $21 per week from his sales. Most of his money is used for his clothes, and he regularly invests some of his profits in the pur chase of bonds and stamps. At William Hopper school, Don nie is a student in the seventh grade, and his favorite sport is baseball. Fisher announced that the War Bond prize would be given to newsboys who are winners of fu ture contests. _v_ Two Southeastern Men Are Wounded In Action The War Department made pub lic today the names of two south eastern North Carolina soldiers wounded in action in the European theater.
