TAX LEVYING ENGAGES STATE'S LAWMAKERS (Continued from Page 1) shews last week. Representative Tam Bowie, admitting he would like to kill the Workmens* Compensation Bill, and Gregg Cherry had a lively spat over a bill that would change the compensation law so appeals to the courts could be heard all over, de novo, lawyers say. Con Johnson said that only a few lawyers, for selfish reasons?their fees? wanted it changed l^ater when Bowies' bill to "punish falsehood and protect character' came up. Cherry said it was to "protect some whippersnapper with not enough nerve to beat hell out of anybody who tells a lie about him.* Both bills were killed. "Independence Day" at Dispute Another bill to "abolish" the socalled Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. by changing the date "May 20, 1775" on Uie -State flag and -seal to "May 31. 1775,' date of the Mecklenburg resolves, caused Meckler.burgs' Ervin to remark that "we would almost as soon see the Ten Commandments abolished.'" The biil, introduced by Guilford's Pickens, was tabled forthwith. The Senate passed the Highway Patrol bill, providing a patrol of 121 men. retained under the Commissioner of Revenue, hut without the gasoline and oil tax duties and with peace officer authority. The bill carries provision for a State-wide radio system, and for setting up a division of highway. safety to enforce the new drivers' license law. The bill went to the House, where it was expected tv pass. Also. the Senate passed the bill to honor with a tablet the late Frank Page, highway chairman; and others to establish a State-wide forest fire control system, and providing distinctive license plates for officers of the N. C National Guard. All went, to the House. It killed the hill to prevent work of boys 15 to 16 years of age.

The absentee ballot law, which has caused lots of trouble this session, has a new promise, thai of a law strengthening or abolishing it.

NOW -----------H Senator Revaold > Of Increased Nat PITTSBURGH. PA. The American Army was lauded as the "guardian of peace, liberty, and freedom of thought in a world rocked with chaos" in an address here Saturday night by United States Senator Robert R. Reynolds of North Carolina. The address was the climax of the annual nation-wide Army Day celebration held under the auspices of ' associated patriotic groups. Senator ' Reynolds, who is a member of the Senate Military Affairs Committee and an acknowledged expert on legislation, made a plea for united public . support of national defense "as the J greatest deterrent of another disas trous war." The ceremonies, which were broadcast over a coast-to-coast network, were held in Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall under the sponsorship of the American L.egion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, the National Guard and Officers Reserve Corps. "An adequate and well-manned ! merchant marine is the second line of defense for our navy and commercial aviation is the second line of defense for our fighting forces, of the air," the North Carolina solon said. Discussing the present political ten-! sion in Europe, Senator Reynolds said that while there was but*one Sara-, jevo in 1914 "todav smoke curls onii- i i * ( I The State Board of Elections had asked for some such law, and the House had killed it.

"We must stay out of Europe." Senator Reynolds said. "We want to live in peace and amity with all the nations of the world. But to achTevc this goal we must have an adequate national defense. The Army, to which we pay homage today, is an integral part of that great system of national peo.ee insurance. "With all this trouble in the Old World, with all this upheaval about us. American remains the last stronghold wherein freedom of thought, of expression, of speech, of worship and of occupation are inviolate. Too often we fail to appreciate the blessings of liberty and freedom until they are imperiled or are completely lost. It is to tho credit of the Army that its eternal vigilance has done much to enable us to continue to enjoy the blessings of freedom for which our forbears struggled." Striking out boldly at critics of the recently-enacted Congressional action increasing the Army. Senator die declared* "The United States in < mparison with other nationn of the world is seventeenth in point of military preparedness. We are way down among the second and third-rate powers." "While Fascism, Nazism and Communism subdue a growing- number of people in the old world, despotism and dictatorship tighten its grip. But in America we want no 'isms' except. Americanism and we know that the Army will he among the first to main, tain Americanism on our shores," the Senator said in conclusion. 'ing? THE ARRIVAL OF EA?
