The insurgents in Spain con
tinue their ruthlessness. Aided
by Hitler and Mussolini they
have bombed Barcelona, killed
hundreds o f noncombatants,
women and children, and de
stroyed millions in property.
European affairs do not im
prove. Hitler is the disturbing
element, still. Prime Minister
Chamberlain has stiffened bis
attitude and is not making any
bargains now ? on the other
hand he has passed some warn
ings to Germany. Almost any
thing is liable to happen.
President Roosevelt left
Washington Tuesday night for
Warm Springs, Ga., to take a
rest of a day or two. At Gaines
ville, Ga., an industrial center,
he stopped long enough to make
a speech. In that address he
urged higher wages for labor.
Why, it is wondered, did he not
leave the labor question to the
labor organizers?
The time for filing for nomi
nations in the June primary is
nearing the close ? the deadline
is 6 p. m. next Saturday when
the filing has to be in Raleigh.
Of these the following positions
are to be filled: two seats on
the state supreme court, United
States senatorship, utilities com
missioner, 11 seats in Congress,
12 superior court judgeships
and 21 solicitorehips. Perhaps
at this writing fully one hun
dred seekers for office have filed,
and in the last hours the tardies
will get in the game.
The TV A, Tennessee Valley
Authority, is giving the Admin
istration trouble and au inves
tigation has been demanded.
This is the Muscle Shoals elec
tric plant ? a sort of white ele
phant at beet. Dr. Arthur E.
Morgan, the chairman of the
board of managers, and other
two members have been in dis
agreement for some time. The
chairman makes charges
aginst the other two members.
Mr. Roosevelt sided against the
chairman in that he would not
detail charges against his co
members and gave him a limit
to inform. Dr. Morgan refused
and was ousted. The President
charged 'contumacy" against
Morgan, whateVer that means.
An investigation, which doubt
less will be made will probably
uncover something "rotten in
Denmark."

Mentioning the candidates in
the race for the nomination for
Congress in this district, The
Oleaner, last week, inadvert
ently failed to include our coun
ty man, Baraie P. Jones of
Burlington. Mr. Jones was
one of the first entrants after
Congressman U instead gave
out that he would not be a can
didate to auooeed himself. Mr.
Jones livid in Durham several
years and has friends there who
will support hit candidacy, not
withstanding Durham has two

course interested in his nomina
tion.
Major Edney Ridge of Greens
boro, a World War veteran who
saw service on the Mexican bor

Death Begins at Forty
The Travelers Insurance Com
pany has just issued a little book
let, "Death Begins at Forty," in
which it is pointed out that un
derlying reasons for America's
horrifying automobile accident
rtcord for 1937 were "too much
8[>ped and too little courtesy."
According to the booklet, sta
tistics show that if one has an ac
cident while driving under forty
miles an hoar there is only one
chance in forty-four that some
one will be killed, but if the aoci
dent conies when one is traveling
more than forty, there is only one
chance in nineteen that somebody
will be killed- Forty thousand
three-hundred persons met death
in traffic accidents last year.
Nearly forty per cent of these fa
talities were directly traceable to
speed, and ninety-seven per cent
of drivers involved in fatal acci
dents had bad one or more yeais
of driving experience ? in other
words, they should have known
better.
The driver guilty of speed and
discourtesy on the highway is a
potential murderer ? and should
be treated as such upon appehen
sion. Common discourtesy is usu
ally simply a mark of ignorance,
but when applied to the fast
driver it W a mark of maniacal
disregard of human life. No
amount of "wirepullicg" should
allow such a person to escape
punishment.
Laws in themselves cannot in
still common sense and chivalry
in a road hog ? only fear and re
spect for the law will do that;
and rigid enforcement is the club
to use.

By April 1st.
Referenda of March 12 Fixed
Acreage ? Cotton 902,000,
Tobacco 572,000 for N. C.
Farmers for 1938.
Cotton and tobacj marketing quo
ta* for individual farmers will
probably be announced oy April
1 or ? ooner, according to E. Y.
Floyd, AAA executive office at
State College,
The State AAA office la ,ncrw
apportioning county quotaa from
the state quotaa, and as soon u
theae are determined they will be
passed on to the county commit
tee^
Under the marketing quotaa en
dorsed by farmers voting In the
March 1J referenda, North Carolina
haa been allotted 572,000 acres of
tobacco and 902,000 acrea of cotton
for 193S.
Theae allotments will be divided
among the cotton and tobacco grow
Ing counties according to the acre
age* ot these crops they have
been growing In the past.
In calculating growers' allotments,
county commlttteea wiU consider
the sU* ot the farm, the past pro
duction, the suitability of the farm
to grow cotton or tobaccO, size Of
the family, amount of equipment
on the farm, and other conditions.
A iwwa'l marketing quota of
cotton will he all that he can
grow on his allotted acreage.
The tobaecd marketing quota will
b* determined from the acreage
allotment on a basis of the past
average tobaccct yield per acre.
PeMttlea will be imposed upon
growers who exceed their quotas.

March 21,1938.
The Current Congress, which has
set a new high la unproductive -
new, is at last getting around t o
serious business, It faces a con
gested calendar, plus the prospect
or some of the most acrimonious
debate# in years. Every major mea
sure now in prospect has enthusi
astic partisans and inflexible op
ponents who are prepared end eag
er for the most rough-and-ready
parliamentary battling,
Prlmest piece of legislation now
in the limelight is the House tax
bill, known as the Revenue Act of
1938. In the form approved by
the House, this measure retains the
much-debated undistributed profits
tax in a mitigated form, and creates
a new tax, called the "third bask
et" levy, aimed at closely held
enterprises, There is strong sen
timent in the Senate for absolut?
repeal of the undistributed pro
fits tax, and practically no senti -
ment, so far as anyone can see how,
in favor of a "third basket" tax.
This illustrates two of the point;
of the "bill which may be drastic
ally overhauled by the Senate. Fur
thermore, the House tax bill is
largely predicated on two assump
tions : 1. That the 1939 deficit wil".
Se under $1,000,000,000, and 2. that
there will be no Toss in revenues.
Those seemed sound assumptions a
while back? but ifot today. The
staggering drop in business has
apparently made it certain that the
deficit will be far in excess ot
|1, 000,00# ,000 , and also certain that
Treasury revenues will be gravely
uDder the estimates made even a
short time ago.
Business Week forecasts that the
Senate will gst through its revision
of the bill along in April. The
proposal will go into a House -
Senate conference, find what will
happen there is in the lap of the
gods.
About t wo weeks ?go another
bill was introduced in Congress
Congress which, while it has not
mads the headline^ yet, is of very
great importance. This is the an
ti-bank-holding company measure,
which the President mentioned i<
a press conference in January. Od
dly enough, the author of the bill
is a Senator who has often been
one of the Administration's most
telling critics? Carter Glass. Sena
tor Glass, a leader of the conser
vative wing of the Democratic
party, has long been opposed to
holding companies In the banking
field. And in this field his opin
ions carry great weight in Con
gress, inasmuch as he was Secre
tary of the Treasury under Wil
son, and father of the Federal Re
serve System,
Five major provisions constitute
the OUn bill. As summed up by
Newsweek, they would: I. Pro
hibit the formation of any more
bank holding companies; 2. forbid
existing bank holding companies
from acquiring control of more
banks; 1. restrain banks controlled
by holding! companies from opening
new branchea, making loans to af
filiates, or purchasing securities
from affiliates; 4. subject bank
holding companies and their sub
sidiaries to periodic Investigation
by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, with which they will
also have to file reports, 5, auth -
orize the FDIC to revoke govern
ment insurance on any baak vio
lating any provision of the act.
Senator Ola as states that abou
SO holding companies now control
600 banks possessing more than
ine-sevntb ol all the bank aasets
ot the nation, bellevea that his bill
in essential if banking is not t o be
concentrated in a few tremendous
ly powerful bands, Chance of the
bill's paaaage seem fairly good, tho
It may be toned down In some
particulars, M?ny congressional con
servatives who oppose destruction
of utiHty holding companies, for
instance, because In this Industry
the holding company system has
made definite contributions to
efficiency and economy of opera
tion, can see no good reason for a
bank holding company. Oh the
other hand, it is argued that bank
holding companies have at times
prevented bank failures by absorb
ing into their big systems, weak
tndividu* banks.

The European situation has
grown more tangled than ever.
This column could be extended to
ten times its length without pro
viding space for adequately explain
ing the plots and counterplots un
derlying the recent acta ot the
great powers.
Hitler's armed conquest of Aus -
tria, and the rout of the Schsch
nigg government, has created new
panic. Furthermore, it has strained
previously cordlall German-Italian
relations. Mussolini, for all of his
saber-rattling, is really trying to
stave off war, knowing his coun
try's resources are inadequate. He
prefers bluff to action. Hitler
seems bent on going ahead, come
what may, and that has Italy worried.
Most im portant of all, Hitler's
move into Austria has put England
on the spot. The Chamberlain gov
ernment can hardly go ahead
with its plans for a rapproche -
ment with Germany without openly
countenancihg ruthless aggression.
And no one believes the Ehglish
people would stand for that.
Everyone feels that Hitler is
now looking toward conquest of
Czechoslovakia. If he tries that,
armed conflict seems certain. Rus
sia has mobilised troops at her
frontier to throw t? the aid of the
Czechs In case Germany makes the
expected move . And France is
preparing for trouble.
About Social Security
Some Questions and Answers
Question? I will be 65 years o f
age on March 3, 1938. If I file a
claim for a lump-sum benefit at
that time must I give up my pre
sent employment.
Answer? Since you would not be
eligible for i a monthly old-age
benefit due to the iact that you
have not worked for some part of
five different calendar years after
December 31, 1336, nefore reaching
age 65, you would be entitled to
a lump-sum payment. Since you are
entitled to a lump-sum payment
and not to monthly benefit pay
ments, you would not be requir
ed to give up ? your present em
ployment upon filing a claim after
you reached 6S.
Q? I expect to get married and
change my name. Should I have
my social security account number
aneelled and get another number,
A? No. Call at o* write to your
nearest social security board field
office and ask them to furnish
you with a form for changing
their records. After you have filed
form the records in the aocial
security board will be changed to
show your new name, but you
trill retain the account number
which you havabeen using.
Q? How many people must be
employed in a store to have that
store come under the social se
curity Act.
A? For the old-age insurance
section, one person Is sufficient
to . bring a store under the Act For
the unemployment compensation
section under the Federal Act, I
or more employees are necessary.
Under the State iota this varies ac- 1
cording to the different State*
from one to eight persons.
Q-I have just married. My wife
worked before we were married
and had a social security account
num ber and paid taxes on her
salary. She does not work now
and possibly will not work any
more. Can she get any money
under the social security act for
the time she has already worked.
v? The wagea she has earned will
stand to her credit until she reach -
es 65. It she should earn more
wages between this date and the
time she reaches 65, these, like
wise, will be credited to her ac
count, She will not draw month
ly benefits, however, until she reach
es 65. Should she die before she
is 65 a lump-sum payment equal
to 3 1-2 percent of her wages
earned since December 31, 193C,in
employment not specifically ex
cepted under Title VIII of the
social security Act, will be made
to her estate.
