nearing completion upon new
streets recently opened, show a
wide choice of types, from the old

North Carolina
Congressman Is
Accorded Honor
Lindsay C. Warren, One Of
Younger N. C. Congress
men, Receives Attention
Speaker Pro Tempore
Speaker Bankhead Will Be
Absent For 10 Days In His
Home State of Alabama j
During the absence of Speaker
William B. Bankhead, who is go
ing to Alabama next week for
commencement addresses and the
like over a period of ten days, a
North Carolinian will be speaker
of the House, pro tern. Congress
man Lindsay Warren of eastern
North Carolina was formerly and
unanimously elected to this honor.
The honor conferred upon Mr.
Warren is an unusual one and at
tests his very high standing in the
House organization. The last time
the House elected a Speaker pro
tempore was in 1933 during the ill
then Speaker of the house. The
late Speaker Henry T. Rainey,
then majority leader of the House
was elected Speaker pro tempore
at that time.
Under the resolution, Mr. Warren
will have the authority to exercise
all of the duties and perogatives $f
the Speaker, including the signing
of bills passed by Congress, dur
ing the next week and probably a
part of the following week.
The Speaker has the authority, to
designate a Speaker pro tempore
to act in his absence but that au
thority is limited to three days, 'the
Speaker stated when the House
convened that he expected to be
absent for more than three days
and requested the House to name a
speaker pro tempore. He then re
cognized Sam Rayburn of Texas,
the majority leader, who offered
the resolution naming Mr. Warren
Mr. Warren was given designated
by Speaker Bankhead to act in a
similar capacity for one day sev
eral weeks ago and is the only
member of the House who-has beetl
designated by the present Speak
er.
If the precedent set by former
Speaker Garner had been followed
and Mr. Rayburn designated it
would have been necessary to naitte
an acting floor leader and it is un
derstood that it was agreed that it
was better for Mr. Rayburn to per
form his regular duties.
The recognition given to Mr.
Warren clearly placed him in line
for advancement in the next time
there is a vacancy in the office #f
either Speaker or majority leader.
It is thought now that he would
have the inside track over the only
other member now definitely in
line for election to one of those po
sitions. Rep. John J. O’Conner of

Rotary Club Told
Of African Safari
Dick Douglass Gives Account
Of Johnson Trip Into
Wilds In 1929
i Dick Douglass, Greensboro, who
as an Eagle scout, was selected to
accompany the late Martin John
son, and Mrs. Johnson upon their
1929 trip into the wilds of Africa
was the speaker at the regular
meetin of the Asheboro Rotary
club Friday.
Mr. Douglass, during his discus
sion, recalled the fact that Mr.
Johnson, who died in an airplane
crash in this country, often ex
pressed himself of being “afraid to
live in civilized countries.”
The speaker told the manner in
which plans are made for the sa
fari, of the language spoken by
the many tribes in Africa, and of
the methods used in photographing
wild life. He said very few animals
were killed by the Johnson expedi
tion, its effort being made to tame
the animals in order that good
photographs might be obtained.
One of the interesting accounts
he gave was that of the danger he
| and several others, encountered
'while in a truck. He said the party
was left out overnight in a truck
to obtain pictures of a lion which
had been lured to the spot by
freshly killed meat. The lion, fri
ghtened by the flash light, he said,
tried to attack him and his com
panions in the truck.
He also told of the system used
i to collect cocoanuts. He said the
party threw rocks at monkeys who
retaliated by throwing cocoanuts
at the attackers.

Odd Crack-Up
Intersection Thur.
An odd crack-up occurred on
Sunset Avenue Thursday afternoon
that resulted in complete demol
ishment of one car and no scratch
to the other. Jack Brittain, of
Cleveland, Ohio was traveling north
on Park street, according to re
ports of the affair, when A. B.
Caveness was traveling east on
Sunset avenue. Mr. Brittain is
said to have stopped for Mr. Cav
eness to go by but instead the
Caveness car swerved, went off the
highway on the lawn of the Ar
thur Ross home. The car turned
over and was pretty well torn up,
although the driver escaped with
hardly a scratch.
Mr. Brittain’s car was untouched
as there was no collision. People
who saw the accident are of the
opinion that Mr. Caveness was
running at a more rapid rate of
speed than warranted a quick stop,
thus causing the overturn on the
lawn.

Governor Appeals
For Safety Move
Urges More Caution In
Shops And Factories;
Home Accidents
Governor Clyde R. Hoey in an
address at the opening session of
the eight annual state-wide Safe
ty conference in Winston-Salem
this week urged all citizens of
North Carolina to exercise caution
and advise safety in all lines of
endeavor
“The slaughter upon the high
ways and the increasing number
of accidents around the home and
in many supposedly safe places
indicates that safety can be assur
ed only by properly safeguarding
every avenue of approach in the
factories and shops, and in other
places where machinery is used
and people work,” the Governor
said.
The Governor praised the Safety
conference for emphazing the need
for caution and said, “so many ac
cidents are preventable and so
many injuries and deaths avoid
able if only a reasonable amount
of care is exercised.”

Kerr, Cooley And
Weaver Support
North Carolina Delegation
Split Wide Open During
Bitter Debate
Bulwinkle Opposed
Funds To Be Earmarked; Cry
Of Racketeering Raised
By Some Leaders
Washington.— The House backed
President Roosevelt’s request for
$1,500,000,000 work relief fund for
the next fiscal year with over
whelming support. Definite action,
however, went over until Monday.
The vote was 210 to 128.
The North Carolina delegation
was badly split on the bill. Only
Representative Kerr of the second
district, Cooley of the fourth and
Weaver of the eleventh voted for
the giant sum asked by the Presi
dent and which was finally ca
ried with the House voting as a
committee of the whole.
The amendment of Rep. McRey
nolds of Tennessee to lop $300,000,
000 off the bill and vote $1,200,
000,000 was defeated, 182 to 154,
with Kerr and Cooley opposing.
Rep. Alfred L. Bulwinkle of the
tenth voted for the McReynolds
cut, as did seven other members
of the delegation from North Ca
rolina. Only Kerr, Cooley and
Weaver emerged from the maze of
amendments supporting the sum
sought by Mr. Roosevelt.
Before adjourning for the week
end, the House also adopted an
appropriatinos committee amend
ment aimed at forestalling re
quests for additional relief appro
priations for the year, which be
gins July 1.
Funds Earmarked
It is also approved provisions
stipulating that $415,000,000 of the
total be earmarked for highways
and streets; $630,000,000 for public
works and recreational projects;
$380,000,000 for so-called “white
collar” projects and $75,000,000 for
the National Youth administration.
Appeals for economy and elimi
nation of “racketeering” from re
lief mingled with warnings from
advocates of a larger fund that
“millions will be scouring this
country for something to eat within
six months.”
Administration leaders succeed
ed, however, in holding their forces
in line. They were spurred by a
last minute appeal form Harry L.
Hopkins, Works Progress adminis
trator, who addressed a gathering
of prominent representatives earl
ier in the day.
Angry Protests
A drive for $3,000,000,000, head
ed by Representative Boileau, Pro
gressive of Wisconsin, was tenta
tively beaten on a standing Vote,
180 to 46.
Efforts to shut off debate on
the major amendments brought
angry protests from a dozen mem
bers clamoring for recognition but
Representative Woodrum, Demo
crat of Virginia, leading the fight
for the $500,000,000 reduction,
finally forced a limitation of one
hour and a half on the discussion.
Woodrum intimated that Presi
dent Roosevelt himself had started
the movement to cut one-third
from the relief fund when he sent
Congress a message last month
urging a tightening of the Fed
eral purse strings.
The Virginian declared the bil
lion would be enough to relieve dis
tress “if it is spent the right way.”
Yesterday he called on the House'
to “take the racketeering out of re
lief.”
