A RESUME OF GOVKBXMEXM
EN TAG HAPPENINGS IX
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Washington. ? Amid shouts and
jeers, the house broke away from
President Roosevelt in open revolt
Tuesday to override his veto of congressional
plans for better veterans
allowances and more pay for Federal
workers.
tn direct defiance of the President
on a major issue, 310 members voted
against the President. He found only
73 supporters, two of them being Republicans?Luce
and Tinkham of
Massachusetts. Two hundred and nine
Democrats joined !?7 Republicans and
four Farmer-Labor membeis in voting
against his recommendations.
The vote left to the Senate the
matter of deciding finally whether
the Presidential veto shall be sustained.
Leaders decided to put the
vote off there until today or later,
and held to this decision despite an
attempt to force a ballot.
President Roosevelt in bis veto
message objected that the added
funds written into the independent
offices supply bill by the House and
Senate would upset his budget plans,
take money needed for emergency
relief and violate principles he believed
should govern veteran compensation.
CABINET CHANGES
Washington gossip has it that at
least three members of the Cabinet
may be replaced before long. The
feeling that Secretary Dern of the
War Department is letting the generals
run things is said to be worrying
the President. There is a growing
belief that the attorney-general,
Homer Cumminga, is too easy-going
and too easily influenced into hasty
action. And even in the President's
own intimate circle a great deai of
dissatisfaction is being expressed
about the Postmaster General, Mr.
Farley. This is to some extent based
upon the feeling that he put the
President in a hole on the air mail 1
matter and let it develop so that the
blame is on the President Instead of
oil Farley. And the air mail situation
is still a major topic of interest here.
IVobody knows juat who Captain
Eddie Rickenbackcr, famous wartime
ace aviator, liad in mind when he
denounced the "traitorous advisers"
of the President in his statement be- i
fore the Senate committee investiga- i
ting the air mail, but it is certain j
that the unanimity of his attitude I

effect upon public and official senti-1
roent.
Beyond quest! or. t those on the in-1
side 3ay,~Sie"s3r malls, will speedily j (
be turned back to the people who
know how and are equipped to fly ;
them, and there will be a sweeping
reorganization of the military flying
Rp| -forces The weakness of the Armyaviation
system, under which aviators i
got only about four hours flying a ..
month, against 90 hours for commer- i
cial aviators, lies in the economy s
urge which impels the department j
heads to inquire why so much gano- ]
line was used. (
"FLASH" CAMPAIGN ON i
It looks from here as if j>olitical (
opposition were beginning to take or- t
ganized shape. A group calling itself (
Ait-jiuunun uuiraers," financed ;
by nobody knows who, but directed .
by a very able newspaper man, Julian j
Mason, formerly editor of the New
York Evening Post, is conducting an i
active propaganda campaign to erys- ?
tallize opposition sentiment. How far t
it will get nobody can guess as yet,
but it is evidence that the political s
campaign o? 1933 has begun. c

STATE CHEESE FACTORIES c
TO INCREASE PRODUCTION f
r
College Station; Raleigh. ? North t
Carolina cheese factories are expected a
to manufacture more cheese this year c
. than ever before, says F. R. Farnham,
dairy extension specialist at the 1
State College.
The demand in this State alone is
running far ahead of the suppiy, he
said, and In 1933 approximately 12,000,000
pounds of cheese were shipped <
in from elserwhere. t
North Carolina merchants have <
shown a decided preference for cheese 1
manufactured in this State, he con- <
tinued. At a factory in North Wilkes- 2
boro, while he was there, eight orders '
came in by telephone and telegraph,;"
so anxious were the merchants to get 1
North Carolina cheese.
Since North Carolina manufactured ]'
SAA AAA - -
vimjt jipv,ww pounag oi cneeue last
year, he continued, the need for expansion
in the cheese factory business
should be an incentive to farmers to '
produce more milk. J
Already the factories are averaging
more than 25 per cent more production
than they did a year ago, Fam- '
ham pointed cut, and the prices paid
to farmers tor their raw material !
have advanced sharply.
If the present prices hold up, and
the demand continues as anticipated. ,
there is good reason U> believe that ,
1934 will be a record year in North
Carolina cheese manufacturing, he j
stated. . . i
The Rutherford Kiwanls Club is
stimulating interest in better farming
by offering prizes for the best
crops and the best yields per acre.
First, second and third prizes are of- 1

Roosevelt administration provided necessities
of life to millions of Americans
for almost a year at a cost of
more than $1,000,000,000. Relief workers
will no longer be Federal employees
after April 1st. They will receive
benefits through local sources under
President Roosevelt's new three-point
long term relief policy, which has
been underwritten by Congress with
a $950,000,000 appropriation.
Civil works, through which the government
fed, clothed and housed 4,000,000
Americans during the winter
months, no longer will exist. The |
CWA ranks will have been reduced
by approximately 2,500,000 persons.
Federai pay checks will be dispensed
with. Approximately 1,500,000 persons
who will survive the CWA de- j
mobilization will receive a minimum |
wage of 30 cents an hour for work!
from officials of the particul community,
or county, in which they live.
The federal government will continue
to contribute resources to aid
the unemployed and destitute, but its
activities will be supervisory rather
than direct.
The President's three-fold relief
program was conceived on a long-time
planning rather than emergency basis.
Under its terms, states, cities and
counties will administer aid on the
basis of need under the following interpretation
by Federal Emergency
Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins:
"A person in need is one who has .
no resources, with no member of his
l. mily employed, and who, unless he
treto a job. cannot pay his rent or

Thinks Dream Told
Of Chicken Thieves
Mr. Dwight Sdmi3ten, local fertilizer
dealer, awoke from troubled
dreams Sunday night in a nervous
and agitated condition, for through
the medium of the Sandman, he had
been robbed of his pocket book.
Sleep did not return easily, say3
Dwight, but he slept again, and upon
awakening found that fourteen
fine Plymouth Rock hens were missing
from his Laurel Creek plantation.
Before the day was over, however,
Mr. Edmisten had located his fowls
two miles distant at the store of Victor
May, who had been awakened in
the small hours by the illegal possessor,
wishing a sale. Ward smelled
a mouse, refused to .buy, but offered
to hold the chickens for a few days,
to prevent them being "thrown in the
river."
So Dwight gets his chickens hack
and expecis to get conviction of the
thieves, to boot. However, he is now
thoroughly sold on dreams, and ha3
a feeling that his .subconscious mind
was told of the raid on the hen house.
Hogs May Be Kept in
Town, Says Board
The question as to whether or not
hogs may lawfully be kept in back
lot stys has been definitely settled
by the town board. The Board's ruling
is to the effect that the premises
of pOrkers must not be nearer to a
neighbor's residence than 300 feet,
but that the family owning the hog
may place his quarters at any given
radius from their own home.
The 300-foot line was determined
when it was submitted that flies from
a pig pen . will not travel over that
distance.
