BASKERVILL The Tiwoi-NewH liiireau j iiir Walter Hotel RALEIGH, Jan. If).—The bill{ to abolish some 1P> state depart ments, bureaus, commisions or offices, introduced in the house -Monday night by Representatives Taylor, Boyd and Garibaldi of Mecklenburg county, Randolph of Swain, and Stevens of Cam den, would not bring about any where near the savings its advo cates claim for it, according to those who have analyzed it. In fact, the bill would be more like ly to cost the state from $4,000. 000 to $5,000,000 a year rather than bring about a saving, since it proposes to abolish state agen cies that at the present time are saving the state at least $5,000, 000 a year if not more according to those in a position to know the real facts. The departments, bureaus and offices the bill would abolish, if enacted, would not save the state more than $160, 000 a year, on the basis of the figures contained in the new 1033-35 appropriations bill. That political consideration?, are involved in the bill rather than any real desire to brine: about any economy, is the belief of a number of observers here. I lit is also believed that the bill is j aimed primarily at the abolition j of the industrial commission and j the abrogation of the workmen's ' compensation law. with the abo lition of the budget bureau and (repeal of the executive budget act the primary objective, and that all the other bureaus, offices and commissions were included in ; the bill largely as a smoke j screen. It has been known for 1 months that there was deep-seat ed opposition to the workmen's : compensation law and the indus trial commission in Mecklenburg county, chiefly within a group of i lawyers there whose damage case | practice has been much less since i the law was enacted. As a result, it has been expected that an ef fort would be made to repeal this law and abolish the industrial (commission, and that this effort i would probably originate with the ! Mecklenburg county delegation. , Those who knew what had been I going on behind the scenes were hence not greatly surprised when this bill was introduced and when lit was found to contain the in 1 (Continued on page five) ATLANTA, Jan. 19.— (VP) Odell C.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.— (UP). — Alabama today was granted an emergency relief loan by the Reconstruction Fi nance Corporation of $12,146, for use in eight counties, from January 15 to February 28.

With Conference With Hoover Set Friday By UNITED PRESS President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt will arrive in Washing ton tomorrow for a crowded 22 hours of conferences which will cover the whole range of pressing problems that soon will become his responsibility. It is his second visit to the capital since his election to the office which he will assume March 4th. With President Hoover, Secre tary of State Stimson and Secre tary of Treasury Mills he will dis cuss foreign affairs, particularly the World war debt problem, Far Eastern policy and the coming: world economic conference. This meeting is scheduled for 11 o'clock Friday at the White House. This conference somewhat over shadows the talks Roosevelt will have with his party congressional leaders tomorrow and tomorrow night. Soon after he arrives here at 4 o'clock Democratic leaders will start their trek to his hotel suite to seek advice on such mat ters as farm relief, beer legisla tion and the 18th amendment re peal. now pending in the senate, and measures to balance the bud get. The leaders will tell him an ex tra session of congress will be necessary to put through this pro gram because of the likely exer cise of the veto power by Presi dent Hoover to stop enactment of some of the measures. Democratic leaders yesterday formally post poned tax legislation to balance the budget until the extra session. They will advise Roosevelt on the best date to call it, probably by the middle of April. Out of the foreign affairs dis cussions at the White House is likely to come some agreement for handling the war debt prob lem on which the president and president-elect were unable to agree at their earlier meeting. A possible development is a plan for the present administration to be gin direct negotiations with the debtor nations along lines ap proved by Roosevelt. President Hoover, it is understood, may agree lr. drop his proposal for a commission to handle the problem. Stimson and Roosevelt con ferred recently on the debt prob lem, with indications they recahed a basis for negotiations. ADMITS IDENTITY BOSTON, Jan. 19.—(UP).— George Crawford, negro wanted in connection with the slaying of Mrs. Spencer Illsley, 40, Virginia sportswoman, and her maid, Mrs. Anna Buckner, CO, a year ago, ad mitted his identity under question ing today, police said.

I age about -JO, was found in the jgarage at his home in Laurel' j Park about noon today, and fftl-! lowing: an examination Coroner j.T. F. Brooks stated that his den^j I was a suicide. . •(**' A letter left . o his wife, who is visiting; in ^V^ew Jersey, ex plained that W "*was taking his life, and established ill health as a motive. The manner of his death had not been definitely established by Coroner Brooks this afternoon. The body was found seated in , his automobile in the garage, ;the doors of which were partial ly closed. Coroner Brooks, how ever, was of the opinion that death was due to monoxide gas from the motor of the car, or to poisoning. A smudge of soot on the floor of the garage in back of the ear and beneath the exhaust pipe, lent weight to the theory that gas had caused his death, , but the motor of the car was not running and there was gasoline in the tank. Coroner Brooks expressed the opinion that he had been dead possibly 2-1 or 30 hours. The body was discovered hy Hicks Jones, who was employed on the plaw, and Coroner Brook* was immediately notified. Mr. North was a native of Pennsylvania, and came here! sometime ago for his health. He' 1 was a veteran of the World war. } serving in the A. K. F. as a first lieutenant. He was twice wound ed, lost a leg and suffered other injuries, and won a citation. He is survived by a wife and two small children. A brother in-law, C. S. McCarthy of Chat tanooga, Tenn., was expected here tonight. Dr. R. E. Sumner, Rock Hill, Dead Is Brother of Dr. T. W. Sumner of Fletcher ROCK HILL, S. C., Jan. 19.— Dr. I{. E.

COURT OF HONOR FOR INAUGURAL PROCESSION From this court of honor Franklin D. Roosevelt will review the inaugural parade just prior to his inauguration as president of the United States. The above is the architect's design of the "Court of Honor" which will be a reproduction of Federal Hall where George Washington took the oath of office in New York. DEBT RELIEF i BILL DRAFTED Measure Permitting Re-1 adjustment by Courts Ready To Be Reported WASHINGTON, Jen. 10. (UP). Broad legislation to relieve both private and corporate debtors wtn* whipped into final shape yes terday by the house judiciary committee as President Hoover's desire for prompt action was re iterated at the White House. The McKeown bill, which Speaker John N. Garner has as sured early consideration, will be reported formally to the house today. It was completed after, a week devoted to perfecting it. I President Hoover sees in the measure which he endorsed in a recent message, a means of stav ing off a wave of threatened bankruptcies. In his opinion it{ goes to the very roots of the de-[ pression problem and represents the longest step yet taken in the legal relations between debtors and creditor. The bill, as drafted, permits reduction or extension of debts by court sanction. Debtors and creditors would appeal for re adjustments to federal courts. It revises present bankruptcy stat utes. The immediate objective is re lief of railroads which soon must meet large maturities. It reaches out also to inculde the hard pressed farmer who is struggling to meet mortgage payments. Hundreds of thousands who are in difficulties would be aided by this measure, it was said at the White House. It will check de structive forced liquidations and thus help both the creditor and. the debtor. PROPERTY REVALUATION TO BE AMONG FIRST OF LARGE PROBLEMS SOLONS ACT UPON i Finance Sub-Committee Is Named to Draw up Flexible Adjustment Provisions; Night Hearings on Proposals Thought Likely " *» —1 4 n I Th«* Tiineti-Ncws Ilitrvtiu Sir Walter Hotel RALEIGH, Jan. 19.—The con troversial issue of property re valuation is expected to be one j of the first big problems dispos ! ed of by the joint house and sen jatt finance committee which has [just begun its task of framing •the new revenue act within an al lotted time of three weeks. This jwas indicated when the commit tee named a sub-committee to draw up a bill providing for a flexible adjustment. The North Carolina Associa tion of County Comissioners, which has a membership of 75 J ' per cent of the commissioners in jthe state, and which has gone on record as being opposed to a gen-l eral revaluation, presented its] views to the committee yester-i day, recommending a horizontal cut in valuation and equalization according to local requirements. The association pleaded against a general revaluation, which it .estimated would cost $500,000 (and would do little to equalize j matters further. J It was indicated that the com-i mittee, which has decided to go about its task with the avowed purpose of balancing the budget and also of taking: care of the state's maturing obligations, will try to get the matter of revalu ation out of the way a* quickly as possible before delving into the many other problems now confronting it. Views of the North Carolina Association of County Commis sioners were presented to the committee before it went into a discussion of the matter and de cided to appoint a sub-committee to draft a bill. There will be a great demand, it was indicated, for a flexible bill permitting each county to work out its re valuation problem, but some members seemed to be convinced that a more or less uniform rate should be applied by all counties in order to prevent, to use the words of one member, a "small size revolution. Open discussion indicated that the sub-committee will have a difficult task in drawing a bill which would be flexible enough (Continued on page tnree) 45,000 Cossacks Are Ordered Into Far North Exile' Punishment Follows Fail lire to Co-operate in Grain Collectivization MOSCOW, Jan. 19.—(UP).— The entire population of three Cossack ?pttlemmt«i in Kuban re gion, totaling 45,000 persons, ac cording to the 192!) census, was exiled into the far north today as the first move in the government's plans for wholesale shifting of populations.

Reciprocal Decree Ends Perfect Marriage to ' Yvonne Vallee BY RALPH HEINZEN United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, Jan. 19—(UP)—A re ciprocal divorce decree handed, down in court yesterday ended I the "perfect marriage" of Man-' rice Chevalier, the actor, and Yvonne Vallee, his former danc ing partner of the Paris Music Hall days—the days before he won fame and foitune on the screen. The judge based his verdict on temperamental incompatibility. He found in his decree that the little dancer was extremely jealous of her popular husband, while on the other hand Chevalier was chargcd j with having deserted his wife and 1 refused to live with her when ho returned from his successes in (Continued on page three) ARE ROUNDING UP INAUGURATION PLANS WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. (UP) General John J. Pershing will be grand marshal of the Roosevelt inaugural parade on March 4, it was announced today. Admiral Cary T. Grayson, chairman of the inaugural committee, said Persh ing had accepted an invitation urged on him by Roosevelt. WASHINGTON. Jan. 19.

CLOTURE MOVE FAILS, DEBATE IS CUTSHORT Discussion of Glass Bill To Be Limited, One Hour to Speaker SENATE HARRASSED BY FILIBUSTERS WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. (UP). The senate voluntarily ended its own filibuster today by accept ing an agreement to limit debate on the Glass bank reform bill which binds them to a schedule limiting all senators to one hour debate on the bill and a half hour on amendments. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. (UP). The filibuster-harra&sed senate fail jd to stifle "Kingfish'' Long and his cohorts today when the cloture rule to limit debate fail ed of passage. The vote was 58 to 30. The cloture measure was backed by Democrats and a fail ure of some Republicans to sup port it caused defeat. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. (UP). A showdown on the gag rule proposed by senate Democratic leaders to silence Senator Huey Long was scheduled today, with Republican leader* under charge of having conspired in the l<ouis iana "Kingfish's" persistent fili buster. The vote was due at 1 p. m., in an angry senate. Senator Robinson, Democrat ,Arkansas, leader of the minority, repeated ly sought yesterday to avoid the roll call test upon which he and others are convinced the cloture proposal will be defeated. His efforts failed. Robinson said he expected either Long or Senator Thomas, Democrat, Oklahoma, might pro pose before 1 p. m., today a Imiitation of debate agreement identical with that offered sev eral times and rejected yester day. But unless Senator Couzens, Republican, Michigan, relents, there can be no truce. He in sists on a vote. Couzens scuttled all hope of compromise in the last moments of yesterday's session with his indictment of the "Lame Duck" Republican leadership. No one doubted the Michigan millionaire was directing his fire at Presi dent Pro Tem Moses and Senate Majority Leader Watson. Frequent floor conferences be tween Long and the sarcastic, witty Moses, had previously sug gested to gallery observers that the "Kingfish" may have had some inspiration from that quar ter. And it is no secret on Capi tol Hill that during part of his protracted filibuster Long has made a headquarters of a capitol office usually utilized by Watson.
