NEW CHAIRMAN OF BOARD NOW IS DISCUSSION Blanton Leads Hern don By 335 Votes, Certified Official vote filed Saturday with the clerk of court's office brings up the question of chairmanship of the Cleveland county board of com missioners, since within recent years custom has given the high msn the chairmanship. Joe E. Blanton, former chairman, this year led J. Lester Herndon by 335 votes. There was considerable dis cussion in political circles about action of the board, which elects its own chairman. In the event both Mr. Herndon and Mr. Blan ton desire the chairmanship and each voted for himself It would devolve entirely upon Mr. Cornwell to name the chairman since his would be the deoidlng vote. All Good Friends However, such formal ending of the matter is not expected. The three members of the board are extremely good friends and their relations have been so pleasant that It is confidently expected the matter will be settled in an amic able manner.

Connor — The prospect that the New Deal { may seek to revive AAA principles of crop control appealed today to have been strengthened by develop- . ments over the weekend. While there a a;, no official an- : ncuncement of Intentions, officials j who deplored visa death of AAA at' the hands of the Supreme court, were believed to be highly gratified j by the unanimity with which a meeting of Varm leaders on Satur day demanded a return to the ori ginal agricultural adjustment ift’o gr&m, This development, combined with recent forecasts by the agriculture department that possible farm sur pluses may lead to declining prices next year, was taken as an indica tion that the administration may make some new move along the lines of production control. Crop Insurance The farm leaders had been call ed here to talk over an adminis tration proposal for federal crop insurance designed to bolster the present soli conservation program. The farm men were lukewarm in their discussions of this, relegating it to a distinctly secondary status. But they left a resolution with President Roosevelt’s crop insurance committee calling for strengthening Of present programs” and asserting that no farm program could be “permanently effective” unless it Included “means of controlling production an ddistribution of farm products.” Secretary Wallace, chairman of the crop insurance committee, went directly from the conference with the farmer leaders to the White House for a talk with Mr. Roose velt. Afterwards he told reporters that fanners wanted the original AAA program re-enacted. FDR’s Election Is No Handicap Says Mr. Hoey Clyde R. Hoey, governor-elect, told the closing session ot the Pied mont section of textile chemists and colorists at Charlotte Saturday night that the election of President Roose velt should occasion no concern in business circles and declared that on the whole it will be helpful. “The outlook for business is dis tnlctly favorable. . . . The over whelming majority given the Presi dent should occasion no concern for legitimate business. . . "The President feels the senes of his responsibility to all the people in the presence of his practically unanimous choice by all the people and we may expect a reasoned pro gram of service for all the people. He owes special allegiance to no one class or group. His support comes from all classes and hence he is fully free to serve a whole nation without entangling alliances. “It has been clearly demonstrated that the best government comes during the period when the nation has real leadership. That is the only time real progress is made.” Many Visitors At Mull Rites Funeral services for J. C.

FEAR NEW BOND ELECTION IS DUE Bond Attorneys May Question Issue Due To Election Possibility that a countywide bond election will have to be held for Shelby and Kings Mountain to secure their new school buildings was expressed by informed sources here today. The circumstance was the pass age last week of the fifth of the proposed amendment to the consti tution. This amendment in effect says that Cleveland county (or any county) cannot Issue bonds in ex cess of two thirds the amount of the reduction of the public debt of the county, paid the previous year. Shelby wants a $150,000 school building for which the county’s part to the PWA will be $82,500. The city has already voted appro val, but bond attorneys may ques tion the election. However, the new amendment does not become valid and effective until January when the legislature meets. Neither has final approval by the PWA come through for the building. The commissioners could issue the bond or order them issued any time before then. In the case of Kings Mountain which wants a $42,000 expansion no election has been held. If it is not held before the first of the year, the entire county would then be called into a special election on the matter. The reason, according to county financial records, is that the county could issue only $29,332 on bonds, which is two thirds of the $44,000 in bonds retired last ye ar. Paradoxically, it was learned, a county which did not owe a penny and retired no bonds, could not under the new amendment issue aqy bonds at all without a vote of the people.
