MWfiBient. beoaose of (rtetlea h€>- ' twM* him and Secretary Wal- iMO, haa .been one of the stOrni maimi of' the Administration ev- ' «r klnet. the Spring of 19S3. " Mr; PeM is recognised as an asthori^ en agricultural ques- tfoMS'ahS while his point of rlew phases of the Admin* Mtration’s agricultural policy is fnlte different from the official attttnde, he is regarded as hay- Mg a large following among the fanners of the Middle West, wftk.wlom he has lonr; been In- Oaentiai.' hie efforts in the State De- it ^to promote the export for American agricultur- al.^^edi)i>feta, Mr. Peek freauently MM^dheelf at odds with Sec- xdMwy'^Hhirs point of view. 'Only PiWsiddnt Roosevelt’s personal appeals kept him from resigning aette-time ago. Peek and Johnson The real reason why the Pres- Hent’s friends and supporters re gret Nr: .peek’s resignation is that they fear he will “do a General Johnson’’ on them. •SWWO'Peak and Hugh Johnson, former head of the NRA, are baddies of long standing. Both were associated in the agricul- tnral implement -business in Illi nois, and both came into the Ad ministration with very definite ideas of what ought to be done and that they were the ones who aught to do it. Gen. Johnson is out. and is treveling around the country making speeches and writing ar ticles attacking the New Deal, although he professes great per sonal loyalty to the President himself. Mr. Peek has not inti mated that he intends to do any- tking of the same sort, but the fear that he will use his influ- •nce with Mid-Western farmers against the Administration is widespread among the Presi dent's loyal supporters. Tlu‘ National Debt Secretary of the Treasury Mor- canthau's announcement the olh- w day that the national debt of cbe United States will rise above 3* billion dollars by the middle af this month is not regarded hero as so alarming as the Op position spokesmen profess to he- Asre. While there seems to bo a mystery as to the “eminent bank- trs” who. the President said a few days ago. told him that the United States could easily carry a Government debt of r>5 billion dollars, there is a definite feel ing among the financial and eco- aojnic advisers of the Adminis- vration that a SO billion dollar debt, or even one considerably higher, is nothing to worry a- bout. Sooner or later most of the Government debt will be refund ed at from 2 to 2 1-2 per cent, •o that the tax burden of interest woBld amount to leas than 3-4 •f a billion a year, and that is not an alarming expense. The Townsend Pliin One of the big fighting is.sues xMat is expected to occupy a good deal ol time in Congress when it meets next month is the Town- aend plan for old uge pensions for everybody over 60. As advo cated by the Townsendites, it jrobably has no chance, but it wiB have such a show of voting strength behind it that there is zs excellent chance that Congress old ' 'iBkAA me^iiy luitMd of is ior'Mt^ataat future.

The belief gains ground that Senator Borah, this ;tlme, is In dead earnest about wanting to be the Presidential nominee ot his party. The strong- Mt ppposltlon he will have to overcome will be that of ex- Presldent Hoover, who is neutral, 80 far, on all the other prospec- j tlve candidates, but very much j against Mr. Borah. • The Hoover Situation Washington is slowly becoming convinced that Mr. Hoover has no intention of offering himself as a Presidential candidate again, but that he intends to see to it that nobody who does not con form to his ideas gets the nomi nation, if he can possibly control the situation. The Republican National Com mittee is to meet here on Decem ber 16. R. B. Creager, National Committeeman from Texas, has proposed that the Committee at tempt to write a platform which will satisfy everybody, including the beneficiaries of the AAA. There is hot much chance that the Committee will do anything of that kind, but the fact that the suggestion has been put for ward indicates the tendency a- mong the Opposition leadership to grasp at straws, and demon strates that there is as yet no clear agreement on Republican Party policies.

MILES' m r V New C-H Program To Be Offered Growers The corn-hog program for 1936-37 is designed to onconrage .soil-improvement and to stabilize the production ot corn and hogs for the best interests of the grower and tho consumer. ^ The need for building up the soil is. now greater than for in creasing the planting of food and feed crops, says W. W. Shay, swine sppecialist at Stall* Col lege. The new contracts stipulate that land retired from corn cul tivation must be planted to soil- building or erosion-preventing crops, pasture, trees or the like. •And this must be in addition to the land normally used for such purpose.s. Shay emphasized. In the past, he added, the pro duction of hogs has fluctuated widely. Either a .surplus or a shortage of pork is undesirable, and the program will tend to keei) production in line with consumptiion. grower may agree to ad just his corn production next year by 10 to 30 per cent of hi.s base and receive an adjustment payment of 35 cents a bushel on the average yield of the land taken out of corn. To receive the maximum hog payment, the grower must raise not less than 50 per cent nor more than 100 per cent of his market base. The payment will be 11.25 for each hog in his market base. Under certain conditions, a [ grower may sign to adjust his 1 corn croj) and keep his hog pro duction the same, or to adjust his hog production and keep his corn crop at the same level. In 1937 the adjustment and payment will be simlliar to those in 1936; the exact rate to be announced later MODERN WOMEN Mayor and Police Chief Part of Program The heavy toll of death and in jury from automobile accidents in North Carolina appeared to day to be increasing. The State Bureau of Vital Staitlstics re ported that during October, 131 persons were killed. A safety crusade, destined to prevent automobile accidents to a certain extent—^surely to make the public safety-minded—is be ing sponsored by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. The crusade will make its appearance here Saturday, Dec. 14 when the “Esso Cruiser,’’ safety car, will cruise the streets of North Wilkesboro and will preach safe ty to the masses. The cruiser, outfitted with an amplifying system, will park at seven p. m., on Ninth street alongside the Bank of North Wilkesboro building and the safe ty program will get under way. R. T. iMcNeil, mayor, and James M. Anderson, chief of police of North Wilkesboro will deliver short addresses on safety. The cruiser carries a moving pitcure projector and three mov ies will be eshown The first will be a Mickey Mouse comedy, the second a safety pic ture entitled “Saving Seconds”, and the third a picture ot s’vunt flying by Rene LaCoste, famous aviator. Everybody is invited to be present. | Every state official, from Gov ernor J. C. H. Erhingiaus to the] county officers in every city and | hamlet in the state, is concerned j with tbe increasing accident toll and are doing much to stop this unwarranted slaughter o highways. i In a letter to W. Herbert Lamb , of the Standard Oil Company,) Governor Bhrlnghaus said: 1 "It is nio'st unfortunate that! in the development of these high- j ways and our other facilities for 1 quick transportation we should j have aggravated onr problems of j citizenship safety.’’ | “The over mounting number of' liighway accidents and the terri ble injury and loss resulting therefrom is a constant reminder of the nece.ssity for grappling with this problem by government and citizens in cooperative effort toward its solution. 'T tvelcome any and every en terprise on the part of the citi zenship. individually or in groups which constitutes a contribution toward the solution of this prob lem. and I am glad to hear from you of your efforts and campaign in this direction.” The safety crusade has been carried on in 12 states and even tually will be carried to every state in the United Slates, Stand ard Oil Company officials said here loilay. More than .'13,009 mill's have already been covered by the Es so Cruiser, and when the safety campaign—to save lives—has been completed the speedometer will probably be rolled four times that much. After the program has been •ompleted here the cruiser will be open for inspection. Standard Oil Company has placed bill boards in all parts of the state entitled “Stop That Killing.” These signs show an officer holding a lifeless body of a child and pointing an accusing finger toward careless motorists.

State One of 22 Which May Be Barred, Social Security Raleigh, Dec. 9. — Governor Ehringhaus said today he had learned North Carolina is one of 22 states that would require a constitutional amendment before passing necessary legislation to participate in the unemployment 1 luiet; mu»- insurance provisions ot the social ^at *^the rear.! security act if federal authorities hold "contributions” by employ ers must be required by law. The Governor said his infor mation emanated from the Amer ican Association tor Social Secur ity with headquarters in New York. He said he k'new “nothing about the organization, but have at hand the facts it presented in a newspaper article.” Benefit payments to peanut I growers in Bertie county will '.Y® I amount to approximately $150,- 000 this year.

Crawford, ohlef^englneer of the * CSlvrolet Motor Company. ‘ “Prom the early days ofrtte Automobile,’’ said.,Mr.. Crawford Ji8 a r^nt address- aii*f,Detrolt, the demand has been .for more power'per pound ot car weight. As’ the !ndustry_ progressed, m. learned how'to get more power out ol an engine ot given alse, and how to reduce car weight too, until today It Is a simple matter to give a car all thh ac celeration and all the road speed that can be desired. “From now on, engineering for economy will gain in iinportance. As the efficiency of engines in creases, We can reduce their site without reducing power, thus bet tering the ratio of power to weight. As fuels improve, we will use less gasoline to develop any given horsepower. “Of course, every automobile engineer constantly seeks to im prove economy of operation. That is, he has for his constant goal the achievement of maximum ef ficiency—^nd efficiency, after all, means economy. "Until very recently, automo tive engineers sought increases of efficiency chiefly as a means of getting more power and more speed. The greatest advances were made with the coming of better fuel—gasoline that burns readily and completely, and with out knocking. It was these new fuels tliat brought about the mod ern high-compression automobile engines. As fuels improved, en gineers increased the compres sion ratios of their engines. That gave more power—and faster cars. “Chevrolet engineers sought and obtained efficiency by still other methods—notably by the development of the ‘blue flame’ principle of combustion chamber design. The result jwas worth while, for we obtained Increased power, with perfect smoothness, at no increase in fuel con sumption. “In our 1935 engines, our compression ratio was 5.6 to 1, and maximum horsepower was 80. In the 1936 models, the com pression is higher—6 to 1—^bnt the horsepower Is no greater than before. We raised the compres sion for economy only. ’That Is, instead of utilizing the gain to step up the power, we purposely Ato ■ultM proesw^ wUeh eatl^jlAters^ govtrmng,’ ,i#i 0)1 saving in gasolltih;': "conld afford to do»;,thH -tV» no longer 'pwww- ?pr sftveraljqlBlI SOrpoaely of our several jtoggitOB ire li ^ ty OB '^oad,,,)irA ipw tiia^rtant than the pp-go a few miles an h'oiir oin those very Infr^nent jtooajp- ipss'when it Is possible to-drivie wide open for any ., eoinstderalile distance. ,,^In pt^er words, the gain in .top speed is not worth arhile. For example, if yon conld drive a car at 86 m. p. h. con tinuously for one hour, yon would then be less than four minutes ahead,, of. a car travelhuf at 80 m. p. b.
