Storm Batters 3 Steamers Off Atlantic Coast NORFOLK. Vs., Jan. 30. <VP) ! Thr®« gtricken ships, battered by; high waves were awaiting assis-' tance of coast guard cutters off the North Carolina and Virginia coast last night. The coastguard cutter Modoc was rushing from Wilmington to help a Sinclair Navigation com pany oil tanker in distress 100 miles southeast of Wilmington with its rudder gone. Thirty-five members of the crew were report ed on board the distressed tanker. The Modoc was expected to reach the vessel about dawn. Crew of the barge, Maurice Shaw, adrift off the Winter Quar ter lightship, was rescued yester day by the coastguard cutter Car rabassett which was standing by hoping to get a towline aboard the helpless craft.

The coastguard cutter Pamlico went to hor assistance from New Bern. Passengers from the ferry boat had been taken safely ashore in rowboats when the Pamlico reached the ferry's side and the coastguard cutter stood by await ing further assistance in floating the vessel.

German fascist leader, today assumed the cha:i cellorshiD in a new German cabi net in which Franz von Papon be came vice-chancellor and Reichs commissioner for Prussia, a post that Hitler had originally de manded. Demands of Hitler for the chan cellorship. which have been re newed with insistence since th.:> fall of the German government of von Schleicher on Saturday have been acceded to in part, and it was believed that the strategy of naming Hitler as chancellor would result in his being defeated in the Reichstag, for the reason that he could not obtain sufficient support to organize a ministry which would stand in the Reichstag. Von Schleicher's cabinet fell when he failed to obtain President von Hindenburg's support in his demand that he be given dicta torial powers, and the authority to dissolve the Reichstag on Tues day. Hitler, watchword of the youth of Germany, fiery apostle of free dom from the war's heritage, preacher of race hatred and prom iser of a Reich unshackled by tribute hn* had a ris« to the spot light in Germany as spectacular as the menace of his doctrines to the stability of present-day Ger many. A man without a country up until about two years ago, when he was given German citizenship through the appointment he re ceived at the hands of a German university, Hitler was born in Austria, the son of a civil em ploye. Hitler's formation of a new gov ernment to succeed that of Gen Kurt Von Schleicher took Berlin completely by surprise. Hitler held a conference with his party chiefs this morning and was reported to be holding out for appointment as Reichs commissioner for Prussia in addition to the chancellorship, which would have given him con trol of the regular army and the efficient Prussian police force of 90,000 men. Members of the new cabinet took the oath of office in the pre sence of President Von Hinden burg soon after formation of the government was announced. Hitler rose to dominating power in Germany before he became a German citizen, and actually while he was a man without a country. Hermann. Goering, Nazi speak er of the Reichstag was commis sioned to administer the Prussian ministry of the interior, and was made a member of the national cabinet without portfolio. His ! position gives him control of 150, j 000 Prussian nolice, though Papen ! as Reichs commissioner, is teebni jcal head of the Prussian adminis tration. HIGHWAY AND PRISON MERGER PROGRAM EXPECTED TO BRING OPEN FIGHT BEFORE HEARING The Times-News Bureau Sir Walter Hotel ( RALEIGH, Jan. 30.—Although! t h e highway-prison consolidation j | bill is amonij the group of reor- j ganization committee bills on the, Senate calendar for tonight, the j pyrotechnics underlying the con troversy over this matter, are ex-1 pected to flare into the open this 1 afternoon when the reorganization j committee holds a public hearing: i on the measure. j In the opinion of legislative oh- i servers here, the action of the committee in referring its own biU back to itself for a public hearing offers a precedent in legislative annals. But it has long been ap ! parent that there would be strenu ous opposition to any attempt to push the reorganization bills to a vote without the departments af fected having a hearing on the matter. The bills, when they were intro duced by the committee, were set) as special order for tonight, but j last week there was some pressure exerted to refer the bill abolish-1 ing the present-set up of the Cor-, poration Commisison back to the ' committee for a public hearing. An effort to have the bill referred | to some other committee ♦"ailed, and it was sent back to the reor-1 ganization committee whence it i originated. However, the public hearing on the highway-prison consolidation bill was granted by the reorgani zation committee without the for mality of the bill being referred back to the committee, and since an eleventh-hour hearing on this bill was granted, it is virtually certain that persons affected by! the other committee bills will also 1 demand a hearing before the bills are taken up tonight. It is generally believed that a strongly-organized attempt will be made tonight to delay action on all the pending re-organization bills until public hearings have been held, and if the highway-pri son hearing extends for more than a few hours, it is also likely that a senate vote on the measure will also be postponed. While the reorganization com mittee ostensibly recommended the consolidation of the two depart ments as an economy measure, the idea is not a new one, and behind the two cross-movements there are two diverse political trends. The proposal will find opposition from one group because they fear a con solidation would result in Chair man Jeffress of the highway com mission getting the combined job; while another camp will oppose it because they fear George Ross I Pou. superintendent of State's Prison, would get the job, LATE NEWS JEHOL STILL JAPANESE GOAL TOKIO, Jan. 30.—(UP).— Japan feel* that she must oc cupy Jehol province, regardless of the attitude of the League of Nations, a government spokes, man said today.

City Cagers Meet Weaverville on Tuesday Night; " f The Hendersonville high boys' and girls' basketball teams will meet the strong Weaverville boys' and girls' teams in a double bill at the city gymnasium on Tuesday evening, the first game beginning j at 7:30 o'clock. i The Bearcats have improved1 their play greatly since early sea son and now have a smooth work ing team.

The locals seem to have struck their stride and are counting on a victory over the Weaverville team. President Must Pay Income Tax WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. (UP) —The Internal Revenue bureau ruled yesterday that the president of the United States must pay a federal income tax under provi sions of the revenue act of 1932. As stated, the ruling affects salaries of federal officers and employes, including- the salary ot' the president and federal judges taking office after enactment of the revenue act last June. There fore it would not apply to Mr. Hoover. However, officials said they as sumed all presidents had been pay ing income taxes regularly despite absence of a specific ruling on the subject. Although Prcsident-clect Roosevelt probably would pay the tax regardless of his status, they explained, the new ruling makes such payment compulsory. Under the new decision, only persons having insufficient income or receiving compensation from a state or its political subdivisions for governmental service are ex empt from federal income tax. Danish Cabinet Is Facing Crisis COPENHAGEN. Denmark, Jar.. 30.— (UP).—A government crisis was regarded possible tonight as result of the government-support ed bill to prohibit strikes and lock outs as an emergency measure to keep industry moving. Liberals and conservatives re fused to accept the bill as an iso lated measure, but declared it must be taken up for considera tion in conjunction with legisla tion seeking to solve the genera! economic crisis. The government was believed strong enough to pass the bill in the folkthing, or lower house of parliament, but defeat was re garded as certain when it reaches the landsthing, or upper house, which might force resignation.

STATE SOLONS WILL STILL BE IN SEARCH OF NEW MONEY FOR FUNDING AGENCIES THIS WEEK i I — _ By HENRY LESESNE The Times-Newp Hurenti Sir Will tor Hotel RALEIGH, Jan. 30.—Continu ; ing- its search for new revenue, the joint finance committee of the General Assembly will again furn-! ish the pivotal point of legislative interest here this week as it digs! down into the actual work of framing: the new bill, which, it is, now generally conceded, will con-! tain some kind of sales tax to sui> plant the 15-cent property tax. ' With most of its hearings fin- i ished, the committee will be able to devote most of its time this week to framing the bill. Only one other important hearing is scheduled for the week. On Wed nesday afternon the committee will hear the truck interests, which are vigorously opposed to any in crease on this industry's taxes. Under the provisions of the Moore resolution adopted early in tue session, both the finance and appropriations committees are required to present their bills to the legislature on or before Feb. 6, and the committees are deter mined to have their measures ready by that time, even if it necessitates many night sesisons this week. Prices 'Lost Love' at $250,000 Two years of promises never did result in marriage according to Mary Clark (above), show girl, therefore she has filed a breach of promise suit for $250,000 in New York against Sewcll T.

Voluntarily; Maureen O'Sullivan to Stay HOLLYWOOD, C»:lif., Jan. 30. (UP).—Maureen O'Sullivan. the; (youthful Irish screen .star, will not be forced to leave the United States in the drive of federal im migration inspectors against for eign members of tho film colony here illegally, it was understood last night. Sixteen alien actors and ac tresses have agreed to leave the country voluntarily rather than face deportation, according to Murray W. Caisson, special assis [ tant secretary of labor in charge I of the drive. Reports that Miss O'Sullivan would be deported arose when Garsson summoned her for ques tioning. Later it was determined that she was interrogated chiefly as to her knowledge of John Far row, Australian screen writer. Farrow is tho only Hollywood figure to fall into the govern ment's clutches. He is at liberty on $2,500 bond awaiting a hear ing Wednesday on "serious com plaints" in connection with his ad mission to the United States as a self-style<J envoy of Rumania. Miss O'Sullivan's name often was linked with that of Farrow by ro mantic gossip here. Garsson, who formerly pro duced pictures on a sniail scale (Continued on page four) The finance committee is? eon fronted with the task of finding about $10,000,000 new revenue for the next two years, and only a relatively small portion of this can he saved through governmen tal economies. Since virtually every industry in the state has had a pretty good case against any increase in other form;-, of taxation, a sales tax is now look ed upon as the only alternative, speculation now centering around just what form such a tax will take. The perennial "luxury" tax measure of Senator Hinsdale's has already made its appearance, along with Senator Clement's pro duction tax bill. Two other sales tax bills are now in preparation and may posibly be introduced this week or next. One of these is a straight 2 per cent tax on gross retail sales, while the other embraces a combination of all three sales tax plans thus far sug gested — manufacturer's produc tion tax, a tax on gross retail sales and the luxury tax, and is design ed to equalize the burden of a sales tax.

(UP) —The senate finance committee today voted 12 to 5 to report fav orably the 3.05 per cent beer-wine bill, after Secretary of the Treas ury Mills reported to the commit tee that the bill would raise be tween $125,000,000 and $150, 000,000 in federal revenues annu ally. Senator Smoot, Republican of Utah, then offered the report to the senate, which thus shifts to the floor of the senate the boer wine battle of the current short session. In the house, the resolution which extends for a one-year pe riod the mildly-inflationary Glars Stegall emergency hankinpr a't, was adopted. It was then sent to the president. WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. (UP) —Passage by the house of the drastic LaGuardia-FcKeown bill for debtor relief was believed as sured today when Republican lead ership announced its support of the measure which would allow any class oC debtor to go before a federal court where, if he can ob tain an agreement on the part of a majority of the creditors and court, the indebtedness ctn either be scaled down, postponed" or wf|> ed out. The Democrats had previously pledged almost unanimous sup port to the measure. Speaker John N. Garner will put his house through an unpre cedented legislative pace today, with major measures for debtor relief, mild expansion of the cur rency and extension of the gaso line tax scheduled to come up for action in one-two-three order. The talkative senate, meanwhile will procecd slowly with its at tempt to shave down the billion dollar post office-trcasury depart ment bill, while its finance com-" mittee begins consideration of the 3.05 per cent beer and wine bill' recently shunted to it by the judi ciary committee, the agriculture committee continues work on a' farm relief bill and the banking and currency committee takes up the farm mortage relief measure sponsored by Senator Walter F. George, Democrat, Georgia. Garner has chosen to enforce the most rigid rules at his com mand to speed through in one dav a comprehensive relief program, including: 1. The McKeown-Laguardia bill which revises existing bankruptcy statutes to permit both individual and corporate debtors to go int'» federal courts for approval of agreements to scale down or ex tend their obligations, a most sweeping measure derignod to strike at the pressing debt prob lem which accentuates the depres : sion. 2. A bili to extend for another year the Glass-Steagall act which permits substitution of govern , ment bonds for eligible commcr ] cial paper as backing for cur i rency, and thus allows a mild and | controlled inflation. The act ex I pires March 3. The senate already ! has sanctioned its extension. 3.
