Budget Message
Made To Congress
Pres. Roosevelt
Promises Balanced Budget
This Year Or Next If
Business Continues
Must Slash Relief
Makes Several Recommenda
tions; Urges Industry To
Absorb Unemployed
In the annual budget message to
congress, President Roosevelt pro
mised the nation a balanced bud
get, perhaps next year, certainly
the next, if business continues on
its present upward trend. In order
to achieve this, the president was
of the opinion that the relief costs
must be held to $1,500,000,000.
This would entail the slashing of
the present level of $180,000,000
monthly to about $120,000,000—a
reduction of a third.
It foresaw receipts of $7,293,
607,197 or about $1,500,000,000
more than is now estimated for the
current year and $3,000,000,000
greater than those actually paid
into the Treasury in the fiscal year
which closed last June.
It forecast expenditures of $(>,
157,999,254, with relief costs stilt
to be added. It held out the hope
that there would be no deficit,
while this year’s deficit is estimat
ed at $2,652,653,774 and last year’s
(with more than a billion and a
half of bonus payments included)
was $4,763,841,642.
It consequently foresaw no in
crease in the public debt, beyond
next June, and forecast a total debt
figure at the close of this year of
$35,026,543,493, as compared with
$33,778,543,493 last June and $28,
700,892,624 in June, 1936.
Notable among the few increas
ed expenditures listed was another
jump in the item for national de
fense, carrying it close to the bil
lion dollar mark. The figure given
was $980,763,000, as compared with
$887,881,000 estimated for this
year, $764,439,126 actual for last
year, and $533,597,243 for 1935.
At a press conference at which
President Roosevelt explained the
the cost of _
hew battleships,
000,000.
In addition to asking the co
operation of industry in absorbing
as many unemployed persons as it
is possible, the president gave four
other recommendations:
That “nuisance taxes” on amuse
ments, chewing gum, toilet pre
parations, sporting goods and a
long list of items, scheduled to ex
pire next June, be continued.
That the three-ccnt rate for
first class out-of-town postage,
also scheduled to expire, be con
tinued.
That the Civilian Conservation
:orps, which, he said, has “demon
itrated its usefulness and has met
with general public approval,” be
made a permanent agency.
That the expenditures of all
;mergency agencies be subjected to
the scrutiny of the budget bureau.
Rare Circumstance
For Two Senators
When the 75th congress conven
ed Tuesday two senators heard
their credentials read though they
will never take office. They were
Guy V. Howard, Republican, of
Minnesota, and William Hill,
Democrat, of Florida.
They filled vacancies caused by
deaths, and their terms expired
today. Mr. Howard was elected for
two months of a term begun by
the late Senator Schall, Republican
of Minnesota, and continued by
former Senator Benson, Farmer
Labor of Minnesota, now Governor.
Mr. Hill was appointed to finish
;he term of the late Senator
Fletcher of Florida, whom he once
served as secretary.

War Cargo Ship ‘Escapes* During Congress Squabble
iiill!
Winner in a dramatic race against the America n government, but still facing the peril of attack at
sea, the freighter Mar Cantabrico is shown here as it got under way from New York, bound for Spain
with war supplies for the loyalists. As Congress pu t forth every effort to pass an embargo resolution in
time to halt the vessel’s sailing, aircraft, engines, and other equipment were rushed aboard the freighter.
After twice being halted, the ship passed the three-m ile limit as the embargo measure was being held up
in the House. So hasty was departure that much of the cargo was left scattered over the deck, some crates
being visible at the stern of the vessel in this picture. Robert Cuse, Jersey City exporter, was the shipper.
Business Firms

Three Business Men Tell Of
Their Work In Interesting
Rotary Meeting
Riehm In Charge
Cotton Manufacturing, Auto
mobile Retailing And Men’s
Clothing Topics
Elwood Riehm was in charge of
a most worthwhile program at the
Rotary club luncheon Friday, a
series of three talks being made by
men representing three different
business callings. Alton Craven
spoke on cotton manufacturing,
Raymond Nance on automobile re
tailing, and Jesse Scarboro on
men’s clothing business.
There was one guest, Frank Me
Crary bringing “Pat” Patterson, of
High Point.
Mr. Craven traqed the progress
of cotton manufacturing from its
where there are now 31,000,000
spindles in operation. The United
States, he said, accounts for the
consumption of one-fifth of the
world’s cotton crop and uses two
and a half times as much as her
nearest competitor, England. Japan
is in third place among the world’s
users of cotton.
The brightest prospect for an
extension of the uses of cotton is
a binder in the construction of
asphalt roads. The state has auth
orized the building of 100 miles of
such roads this year.
Mr. Nancg reported that when
the sale of automobiles began in
1895 only four cars were sold.
Most cars wpre open until 1925,
when the closed car made up 50
per1 cent of the total. Since 1895
there have been some 300 makes
of care put on the market, the field
narrowing dowh to 30 at present.
The automobile industry, Mr.
Nance said, affects every other
type of production in the world. It
absorbs 76 per cent of the world’s
rubber; 71 per cent of its steel; 22
per cent of its steels; copper, 17
per Cent; lead, 35 per cent; zinc,
16 per cent; tin, 13, per cent; nickle,
28 per cent; gasoline, 89 per cent;
and lubricants, 57 per cent.
An interesting point brought out
by Mr. Nance was that the re
tailing of one new car involves the
sale of three used cars. A recent
improvement has been noted in
used car departments. Agencies
are taking pains to recondition and
often guarantee cars taken in
trade.
In reviewing the essential fact
ors in merchandising of men’s
clothing, Mr. Scarboro emphasized
the necessity for courteous service
in the modern retail business.
ligious leader speak in highest!
terms of him as a man and of his
work. Mr. Fellman’s particular
work is to make personal contacts
with the people of his race, and
to distribute among them litera
ture designee! to convince them that
Christ is the Messiah. He supplies
the Jews with the New Testament
in Hebrew, Yiddish, and English.
Many of them, Mr. Fellman, re
quests this. To his Sunday appoint
ments in churches where he speaks
he makes special, effort to get the
Jews of the community out to hear
him. Many of them attend his ser
vices, and contribute to his work.
It is expected that the Jews of
Asheboro will hear him there
Sunday night, and many who are]
not Jews will, of course, want to 6e

in his work by free-will offerings.

Mattson Child Is
Still Unretumed
Missing Already Thirteen
Days From His Tacoma,
Washington, Home
Many Reports Rife
Father Still Hopeful To Make
Contact With Abductors
Of His Son
Federal officers reentered the
Mattson kidnaping case after
Charles Mattson had been missing
from his home for 13 days, and the
father, Dr. Mattson of Tacoma,
Washington, sought to make more
definite contact with the abductors.
The Doctor published the fifth of a
series of Mable-Ann newspaper
advertisments informing the kid
napers that “we are still waiting.”
The new advertisement said:
“Mable—we are still waiting. All
arrangements^have been carried
out in accordance with instructions
“contained in
certain to give me lnformatiort so
that I may guard against impost
ers and hijackers, and be more
specific in your instructions.—
Ann.”
The case entered its 13th day at
8:45 p. m. Friday a duration mark
exceeded by only four other major
kidnapings before the victim’s re
turn was known.
Sudden renewal of federal agents
activity came as a distinct surprise
in view of repeated assertions they
would refrain from action until the
boy’s safety was assured.
It created an impression among
official and private circles that an
unexpected “break” had occurred
surprising the agents into unpre
meditated action. Their sprint from
one hotel, where they hauled on
overcoats on the run, and the fact
four automobiles they used were
not fully warmed heightened this
feeling.
State police, on their own initia
tive, and sheriffs converged on the
Aberdeen-Shelton-Olympia triangle
where some reports said the auto
mobiles were bound. They found
no trace of the Mattson kidnaper
and federal agents.
Late in the day, several groups
of agents believed to have been on
the expedition, returned cold and
tired and, so far as could be learn
ed, empty handed. There was no
way of determining if all of the
parties were back in the city.
Newspapermen were ordered
from the building in which the
agents headquarters is situated.
Fresh rumors cropped up Friday
among them that Dr. Mattson had
expected to make his contact in
the early morning hours with
Charles’ captor and had failed be
cause of interference, possibly by
“imposters” or “hi-jackers” men
tioned in the latest advertisement.

Human-Sized Bundle Is
Disappointment To All
Who Expected Murder
Romantic Story
Again Recalled
Report Of Large Bundle Be
ing Hurled Into River
Brings To Mind Legend
Naomi Wise Tale
Again Is Popular
Officers And Citizens Work
Hard Dragging Swollen
River For A Clue
Possibly the most thrilling piece
of news since Naomi Wise was
drowned in Deep River at Randle
man, by her lover many and many
a year ago, was the alleged affair
of a “human-sized” bundle thrown
into the river Thursday night.
Hundreds of curious onlookers
thronged the bridge at Randleman
on Friday morning when Chief of
Police R. A. Wike, aided by of
ficers from all the surrounding
towns, supervised the dragging of
the river. The work was done with
difficulty on account of the recent
.heavy rains and was actually halt
ed while the flood gates let part of
the excess water out of the river
between the bridge and the mill,
where the large bundle is said to
have been thrown.
News traveled fast after a couple
parked in a car, started the report.
Jimmy Caster and Myrtle John
son, both of Randleman, were sit
ting in an autqmobile on a road
overlooking the concrete bridge,
approximately 150 feet distant.
Mr. Gaster told A-Record report
er this morning that they observed
a dark-colored sedan drive Slowly
upon the bridge, stop almost at the
and then they heard a loud
the purpose of trying to find what
object had been thrown from the
automobile. They then reported the
episode to Chief Wike who began
the search in the river.
Mr. Caster was of the opinion
that the object was a large one
since the splash when it struck the
water could be heard for a distance
of 150 yards.
Chief Wike held the theory that
a murder possibly may have been
committed near Randleman last
night, although none had been re
ported today, and the body of the
slain person thrown into the river.
This was based primarily upon the
fact that two suspicious automo
biles stopped here last, night at
the same time, one of them a
coupe bearing New York license
plates and the other a dark sedan
of which the license plates were
not noticed, and the occupants in
quired at a filling station if there
were a hotel in the city. Two ro
bust men in one of the machines
were informed that the nearest
hostelry was at Asheboro, near
here.
The significant fact about the
men was that one of them had a
hlack eye, possibly coming from a
fight.
A High Point automobile dealer
appeared here this morning with
the information that a dark blue
sedan bearing a dealer license num
ber of “7302” had been stolen from
his establishment yesterday morn
ing about 11 o’clock.
It, he said, had two tail lights
just as did the one that stopped
on the bridge here last night,
from which the occupants threw
some heavy bundle.
Chief Wikes said several days
may be required to drain the lake
to the point where a thorough
search can be made.
After working for hours, the
only thing discovered was a slot
machine that was probably stolen
and discarded in the river by per
sons who know its depth—disap
pointing to the many curious per
sons who were primed for a real,
juicy murder story to be unravel
ed.
IWn Population
Still During Dec.
Asheboro’s population stood still

In the township of Asheboro,
outside of the city limits, there
were two births, both white, add
one death, also white.
In all Randolph county there
were 61 births, while only 29 per
sons died. The white population
was increased by 47 births and lost

Golden Jubilee Planned For
Franklinville Baptist Church
By REV. H. M. STROUP
Fifty years ago yesterday, Janu
ary 9, 1887, marked the end of a
brief but useful life. Rev. John F.
Moore, while doing mission work
along Deep River, came into the
vicinity of Franklinville. For a
time he was permitted to hold ser
vices in the one meeting house in
the village. When pressure was
brought upon this effort, he and
his followers resorted to the
Masonic hall. There he kept up his
ministry of love till the old enemy
who had been instrumental in oust
ing them from the meeting house,
strange to say, had a strong hand
amongst the Masons. So, ere long,
this “faithful band” found them
selves out with no where to wor
ship but under the canopy of
heaven, which was unfriendly at
times to them. Rain and snow rend
ered a “brush arbor” unwise. One

And'
Sheriff King Was Ordered By
Judge John Clement To
Clear Them Out
The much discussed slot ma
chines and gambling devices in
Randolph county, have again be
come the topic of general conser
vation. After the September term
of Superior Court when Judge
John H. Clement ordered the sei
zure of all slot machines, pin tables
and gambling devices, they were
moved out, put away and ceased
operation for the time being. How
ever, it is reported now that they
are creeping back into the county
and again taking their toll of the
nickels and quarters. In conse
quence of the general reports of
their operation in the various parts
of the county, many reports have
come to the sheriff’s office and sev
eral of the different organizations
in the county have been active
talking and creating sentiment
against their operation. It is hoped
that the legislature now in session
will take cognizance of the law as
it now stands and pass some com
prehensive legislation pertaining
to slot machines and gambling de
vices, either out law them or
legalize them, and thereby take
the burden and responsibility off
the sheriff of seizing and destroy
ing them. As the law now stands
the sheriff of the county upon re
l ports of the operation of slot ma
i chines or any other gambling de
vices in the county is required to
seize and confiscate them, and the
sheriff has given a formal notice
of his intention to seize and con
fiscate them. The notice, according
to Sheriff King, is as follows:
Any and all persons, firms and
corporations, owning, possessing
and operating illegal slot machines
atgd other gambling devices are

Spain Buys Most
Weapons From U. S.
■ i
Spain was the largest purchaser
ed States in December, most of the
implements of war from the Unit
ed State in December, most of the
purchases being for commercial
aircraft. The report on export li
censes issued by the State depart
ment, showed France, China, and
Great Britain trailing in that ord
er.
Spain led the list with licenses
issued for exports of commercial
airplanes and engines to Robert
Cuse, most of which did noif leave
the country before the neutrality
legislation was extended to Spain.
The total given in the report was
$2,777,000.
Purchases by France totaled
$504,850, nearly all for commercial
aircraft.
China’s total was $385,496, all
but $1,000 for commercial aircraft,
parts and engines and for military
aircraft.
Great Britain was next, with a
total of $310,389.08, of which $308,
300 was for commercial aircrait
and engines.
Mexico’s purchases totaled $234,
382.31, of which $203,731 was for
commercial aircraft and parts, ami
the rest for guns and ammunition:
Japan purchased $116,380 worth
of commercial aircraft parts and
