Ul Administrative Cost Of
Department Must Be
Raised Here.
Raleigh, July 12.—Nathan H.1
felton, director of the division of
itWic assistant and secretary of
he board of allotments and ap
lea! of the state board of charities
nd public welfare, has notified the
ounty boards of welfare that it is
nandatorv that the budget for ad-1

‘‘Each county will appropriate its
proportionate part of this expense
in addition to the cost of the ad

said.
“The state board does not tell
the county commissioners what sal
lies they shall pay any member
>f the welfare department sta(L” he
continued, “except that the salaries
rf the case work supervisors, case
workers and case aides must be
within the salary range fixed by
the state board of charities and
public welfare for those who have
the necessary qualifications.
“Salaries, travel and other ex-'
penses shown in notices sent to the
county commissioners are taken
from estimates furnished by the
county boards of welfare, accord
ing to law, but the state board has
found it necessary to increase or
decrease the number of workers in
i number of instances.
“Letters sent to the county com
missioners with the notices stated
that the state board had made no
changes in the amount of the wel
f»re superintendents’ salaries, as
submitted by the county boards of
wlfare, as the law gives the coun
ty commissioners full authority in
that matter, subject to a minimum
<*100 per month.
“The tax rates shown on the no
tices sent to the boards of com
missioners are based on a probable
collection of 80 per cent of the levy
uring the fiscal year, Hhat being
the state average.”

When the summer’s heat boils down on Washington, the nation’s lawmakers grow impatient for cooler
climes and shady nooks, and Representative John J. O’Connor of New York, pictured sweltering in humid
discomfort despite the fan and open collar, was among the first to rebel. “It’s hotter here than on the
equator,” said Democrat O’Connor, file proposed that under the “present intolerable weather conditions”
the House adjourn quickly, regardless of the Senate tangle over the Supreme Court reorganization plan.
Fellow House members cheered.

Mrs. L. C. Phil
War Mothers
Organizer of Asheboro Post
Receives Commendation
In Concord Paper.
Mrs. L. C. Phillips, Asheboro,
who was the organizing president
of the Randolph county chaptf/,
iAmerican War Mothers has receiv
ed considerable commendation in a
recent issue of the Concord Daily
Tribune, which in connection with
a special edition for the North Car
olina organization points to Mrs.
Phillips’ work in this county.
In discussing the work of Mrs.
'Phillips and the successful program
of the Randolph county organiza
tion the article states:
“The Randolph chapter of War
Mothers was organized February (>,
1922, with eighteen members. Sev
en of these were Gold Star Mo til
ers—a Gold Star Mother is one
who lost a son by death in service
during the World War.
“The first officers installed were:
President, Mrs. L. C. Phillips; vice
president, Mrs. J. S. Lewis; secre
tary, Mrs. Louella Lovett; histor
ian, Mrs. John T. Moffitt; treasur
er, Mrs. J. C. Ingold.
“The object of this organization
is to keep alive and develop the
spirit that prompted world ser
vice; to maintain the ties of fellow
ship and to assist in any patriotic
work; to inculcate a sense of in
dividual obligation to community,
state and nation; to offiliate the
mothers, sons and daughters who
served in the World War with Ger
many; and to keep sacred the tie
that binds together the mothers
who gave their own blood and
energy for their country’s honor
and for world peace.
“The chapter adopted the Ran
dolph boys in Oteen hospital, and
always remember them every holi
day with some gift. There are five
Randolph boys at Oteen at present.
The sad part is that the boys are
thinning out every year from dis
ease and death.
“This organization stands ready
to help the soldier’s families in
need.
“Every war mother in Randolph
county is eligible to become a
member of The Randolph Chapter
of War Mothers.
“The chapter served suppers to
the Randolph soldier boys on Ar
mistice Day until the American Le
gion was organized. The last sup
per served the boys was in the Old
Hickory Cafe, presided over by
Reid Hannah and the late Eugene
Chisholm, at the location of the
old Rose’s Five and Ten Cent Store.
At this supper Dr. I. T. Mann of
High Point, organized the Ameri
can Legion.
“Mothers Day is celebrated the
9th of May. The inspiration of
Mothers Day has moved the entire
world. The War Mothers always
sell carnations for that day. The
proceeds go into a fund for the
work of the chapter.
“A tree' was planted on the
courthouse lawn by the Mothers
last November 11, in honor of the
Randolph boys who served in the
World War. A marker has been
ordered for the tree and will soon
be erected.
“The chapter had seven gold sta>
mothers when it was organized.
The following have passed on: Mrs
W. F. McDowell, Mrs. C. E. Fraz
ier, Mrs. Bunyan Kivett, Mrs.
Henson and Mrs. Joe E. Poole.
“The chapter lost last year two
by death, Mrs. M. L. Fox and Mrs.
W. R. Hamlin.

Says “Control” Is
President’s Wish
Classes “Docket Relief” As
Subterfuge to Gain
Increased Bench.
Court Is Safeguard
Senator O’Mahoney Joins In
Bitter Attack; 44 Senators
Oppose.
Washington.—Senator Josiah H.
Bailey, senior senator from North
Carolina, yesterday unleashed his
big guns against the Supreme
Court proposals of President
Roosevelt.
The North Carolina senator in a
two hour speech contended that a
reform of the judiciary or relieving
congested dockets was not the ob
jective of the President. He con
tended Mr. Roosevelt sought noth
ing but “control” of the high ribu
nal.
Senator O’Mahoney, who signed
the adverse report on the original
bill, a document that promises to
become widely known to fame, con
tributed to the discomfiture of Sen
ator Key Pittman, president pro
tern, and Senator Robinson, major
ity leader, calling these exalted
gentlemen to order as a protest
against the “gag” rules which he
feels they have invoked, and then
submitted the substitute to an an
alysis which his associate felt must
prove very effective. He taxed
even the majority leader with igno
rance with respect to the meaning
and the implications of the bill,
and launched upon a process of en
lightenment. He expressed the ut
most confidence that with the light
turned into the very humorous dark
places the bill would be blown out
of the water within a couple of
weeks, and he declared that the
advocates of the measure had made
little attempt either to explain or
to defend its provisions.
Letters are Arriving
Opposition members assert with
satisfaction that letters and tele
grams reaching their offices are as
pronounced in their expressions
against the substitute, as they were
against the original six-judge bill.
Senator Bailey addressed this
closely attentive audience for two
hours yesterday, and will probably
occupy the floor the same length
of time today. Senator Bailey dis
claimed, as have other Democratic
members, any purpose to assail the
President, personally, but like
Senator O’Mahoney, who preceded
him, and like the judiciary com
mittee report, he subjected the
pending proposal, sponsored by the
President, to the most searching
and caustic analysis, postulating, at
the same time its manifest uncon
stitutionality as well as its essen
tial immorality. He challenged the
right of the executive, or the legis
lative departments, to impair or
destroy the independence of the ju
diciary, to adopt a statute with a
view to “freeing prospective legis
lation from legal debt,” as demand
ed by Mr. Roosevelt.
Hope For Earhart
At Lowest Stage
Sixty - eight Planes Leave
Carrier; Crew Hoping
For Rescue.
Honolulu, July 13.—What may
prove the last attempt to locate
Amelia Earhart and her navigator,
Fred J. Noonan, was scheduled to
get under way today when a brood
of 08 airplanes are unleashed
from the aircraft carrier Lexing
ton.
Approaching the northeastern
border of the 265,000-mile search
area which centers around Howl
and Island, the big ship turned
from stern to stern for the great
est aerial search in history.
Sudden rail squalls last night
made visibility so poor the planes
were unable to leave the ship last
night.
Other destroyers, the Cushing,
Lampson and Drayton are refuel
ng from the battleship Colorado,
375 miles east of Howland. They
expect to continue their activities
this afternoon.
Hope was at its lowest ebb ev
erywhere among the far-flung
searching units but the Lexington’s
crew seemed to feel that the great
air armada would do everything
possible to find the missing pair.
