DOUGHTON TO END CAREER
AS CONGRESSMAN DEC. 31
Sense of Loss Sweeps Capi
ton When Veteran Tells
Of Plan To Retire
Washington, Jan. 16. ? Repre
sentative Robert if. Doughton an
nounced today he would retire
from Congress at the close of his
present term next December 31.
With dramatic suddenness, the
chairman of the powerful Ways
and Means Committee revealed
his plans to end his long and ex
ceptionally distinguished career
as Representative of the Ninth
North Carolina District.
Visibly moved, he told a small
group of friends that he wished
to be relieved of the arduous du
ties attendant jjtfon his important
position and give some attention
to his long-neglected private af
fairs.
Lioas to Roosevelt
A sense of profound and irre
parable loss pervaded the North
Carolina delegation as Mr. Dough
ton's decision became known.
This feeling prevailed also at
the other end of Pennsylvania
Avenue when President Roosevelt
was told of the announcement.
The President declared that he
would be most sorry to see Mr.
Doughton carry out his decision
to retire. He said that he would
hate very much to lose him, and
added that as member of the
House, Mr. Doughton has been of
great value to the nation.
Two years ago, the President
wrote Mr. Doughton a letter urg
ing him to remain in Congress
and continue his service as chair
man of the Ways and Means Com
mittee.
Vital ttole
As chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, Mr. Doughton
baa played the major role in the
passage of history-making legis
lation. Capitol Hill observers
agreed today that perhaps no otU
i>r member of the House has had
k hand In so many vitally impor
Unt acts of Congress.
His record over 30 crowded
jyetjrs in the House assures him of
a permanent niche in the hall of
/Congressional great. Especially is
this true of the past eight years,
during which he has piloted
through committee and through
the House such vital pieces of leg
islation as the Social Security Act,
the repeal of the 18 th Amend
ment, the passage of the National
Industrial Recovery Act, and the
Reciprocal Trade Agreement Act,
revenue measures, and other im
portant acts.
> Great Achievement
Outstanding in Mr. Doughton's
record ? a tribute equalled- prob
ably by no other member of the
House in the 160 years of its ex
istence ? is the tact that In all this
legislative trail-blazing, only one
amendmennt has ever beed added
In the House to a bill sponsored
by Mr. Doughton. This would be
exceptional in any case, but iti be
comes even more emphatic when
viewed in light of the pioneering
that some of these bills represen
ted.
"Thirty years ago, the people
of our Congressional district elec
ted me to represent them In the
Congress of the United States,"
Mr. Doughton said.
"At every biennial election since
that time they have seen flt to re
elect me to this same responsible
office. For their continued loyal
support I am profoundly grateful
and for the many tokens of bhelr
trust and confidence I express my
deep and sincere thanks.
"I now feel that the time has
arrived when I should ecquaint
them with my future political In
tentions. Some months ago, I de
cided that I would noti seek re
election. This decision has been
made known, confidentially, to a
law of my friends who/understand
ay motives and position.
"Taking this step (s particular
ly painful to me because of the
veritable deluge of requests I
have received recently urging me
to seek reelection. Never before
In my public life have I received
so many warm assurances of sup
port and loyalty. Because of these
generous personal messages, I
have every reason to believe that
i were I to seek another term I
would be reelected without doubt
or difficulty.
"This announcement has been
dtftyxl beyond the time when
aormally It would iiave been made
because I have felt that t'he voters
should have at least one year of
freedom from political discussion
regarding my successor.
"Whether my official activities
during these 30 years have earned
I ? ?
for me a needed rest, others must
Judge. I do feel, however, that I,
should now take life easier than
the arduous duties of my present)
position will allow. Moreover, ray
long-neglected private business
badly needs attention.
"For these and other less im
portant reason, it is my intention
to close my Congressional career
at the end of my present term of
office, December 31, 1940.
"I shall continue to take i deep
and, I hope, active interest in
public affairs."

Britain Stops Im
porting American
Bright Tobacco
London, Jan. 17. ? British to
bacco manufacturers, responding
to government decree, tonight
were stated reliably to have stop
ped the importation of American
bright leaf tobacco.
They were reported to have
enough in stock for a normal two
and-a- half years' demand, and
likely to use Turkish or Balkan
tobaccos to blend with these
stocks.
The embargo will be for an in
definite duration.
Most of the tobacco imported
by Britain is of the flue-cured
variety. She took lbl4,061,255
(about $70,300,000) worth of
American-grown tobacco in 1937.
Arthur Donn, director of a
number of tobacco companies, ex
plained: .
"The government has very wise
ly decreed that in order to con
serve the country's supply of Am
erican dollars, we should cease to
import American tobacco and has
hinted that thls\embargo may re
main for an indefinite period."
Another consideration was set
forth today by the Labor member
of Parliament, Hugh Dalton, who
demanded that British "tobacco
magnates" be required to buy Eu
ropean and Near Eastern tobaccos
to help "our gallant friends the
Turks," the Greeks and the Bul
garians. A similar view was ex
pounded by Robert Boothby. Con
servative.
The British have been arrang
ing a number o&trade agreements
with European and Near Eastern
neutrals which involve taking
quantities of tiobacco which form
erly found a market In Germany.
The Board of Trade (govern
ment department) and prominent
manufacturers have been negotia
ting over tho possibility of blend
ing Balkan and Turkish tobaccos
with the bright American type.
Donn explained that bhe new
blend probably would contain
about 10 to IS per cent Balkan
and Turkish tobacco which would
"be hardly perseptible" to the av
erage smoker.
He aaid that during the World
War,, when Turkish tobaccos were
not available in Britain, the pub
lic taste swung to American to
bacco, but might swing back to
Turkish in the present war.
C. R. Sandling
C. R. Sandliqg, 72, died sudden
ly at his home, near Frankllnton,
early Monday morning. He was
the youngest child of the late C.
H. Sandling and Mrs. Rebecca
Jeffreys Sandling and was one of
Franklin County's most promi
nent farmers. He leaves two sis
ters. Misses Laura and Dora Sand
ling; and a brother, J. W. Sand
ling who resides near Franklln
ton.
Mr. Sandling wan one of Frank
lin County's most prominent and
substantial cltlxens. He served
several terms as member of the
Hoard of Education and was al
ways deeply Interested In the wel
fare of the children of the county.
He bad been of great benefit to
the people of his community and
was greatly esteemed by his neigh
bors for his leadership and gener
osity.
The funeral services were held
Tuesday at 2 /o'clock from the
home conducted by Rev. J. T. Bid
die, and Interment wns made In
the family cemetery nearby.
Large numbers of friends at

Gravely Enters
Governor Race
Former Senator from Rocky
Mount Is Fourth to An
nounce Formally, And Is
Sales Tax Foe
Raleigh. ? Former State Sena
tor L. Lee Gravely, of Rocky
Mount, yesterday became the
fourth candidate to enter the 1940
gubernatorial race.
Gravely Issued a statement set
ting forth a 12-point program on
which he will seek the nomination
In the Democratic primary on
May 26. A pledge for "probable"
reduction of tho persent three per
cent sales tax to two per cent fea
tures the program.
The former Senator rests his
candidacy in general upon his re
cord in the sessions of 1929, 1931,
193S and 1937 and upon the
pledge to provide "an efficient
business administration in which
one hundred cents worth of value
shall bo received for every dollar
spent." He also opposes increase
in taxes an<fN?yiy diversion of
highway rovenute.
His legislative record included
opposition to tho sales tax and
he devotes the longest point in his
platform to that question, declar
ing:
"I believe t?hat the more rigid
collection of taxes, a limitation of
the power of one man to compro
i mise taxes and the natural econo
I mtes resulting from a business-!
like administration will result in
increased net revenue, which pro
bably will enable us to reduce the
sales tax at the present* time to
two per cent, which would be the
first step in the direction of its
ultimate repeal."
Other points in the program
deal with schools. highways,
health, the insane. State advertis
ing. labor, agriculture and social
security.
Salm Tax Issue
The sales tax plank is regarded
| as raising a direct issue between
| Gravely and one of his opponents,
Revenue Commissioner A. J. Max
well, who has been responsible for
the collection of the sales tax
since jit} enactment In 1933. The
other two candidates already In
the race are Lieutenant Governor
Wilklns P. Horton and J. M.
Broughton, Raleigh attorney. All
three have now posted their $105
filing fee with the State Board of
Elections. Mr. Broughton having

MRS. PEARCE'S HOME
. CATCHES FIRE
About 2:15 A. M. Thursday Ore
broko out in the girls' bedroom
at Mrs. D. G. Pearce'a home, about>
1 V4 miles from town. The win
dow frame and curtain were In a
light blaxe when one of the girls
awoke. Naturally, the whole
household was aroused with
screams.
However, due to the quick wit
of Mrs. Pearce'a son-in-law, Mr.
Fred Hale, and other older mem
bers of the household, the blaxing
window frame was torn from the
house and water thrown on the
burning area.
Evidently, the Ore originated
from a spark falling from the
upstairs fireplace, down into the
wall Just beneath the room, for
the weather-boarding was scortch
ed and In some places charred.
? The family- wishes to thank
Mr. B. R. Richardson and family,
and the Loulsburg Fire Depart
ment for its assistance In coming
quickly to the scene with its
chemical equipment and a goodly
number of the Department, who
rendered much help In complete
ly extinguishing the last spark.
Damage to the property had not
been estimated when this report
w^made; nor had the condition
of the sick beon learned, for there
were Ave children In bed with
influenza at the time.
