President Roosevelt said of the In-' dustrial Control Bill that "history j would probebly regard it as the most j important and far reaching legisla-1 tion ever enacted by the American , Congress." He has also said that much of the legislation was of an ex- perimental nature. j The power given the President by its far reaching, revolutionary legis-, lation is such as. nas never been given j a president before in peace times or; probably even during war. Under it practically every kind of business in the United States is under the con- trol of the Federal Government. ! Hours of work, wages, and other de-j tails of manufacturing are subject ' to the approval of the Government. I The Secretary of Agriculture has j the authority to regulate the produc-! tion of wheat, cotton and several other farm products. New legislation affecting the railroads and banks was adopted. It is impossible to give any thing like a complete account of what Congress did in any newspaper article of ordinry length. It would require a book of considerable size to hold it all.A summary of the legis lation enacted is given herewith. The Important Meuurei In addition to the first banking bill, here are the measures that went through from the time the special session convened until June 15.

While it ha been rather warm here this week, the official thermometer at Piver'a Island registered ap proximately ten degrees less than official thermometers at various points throughout North Carolina. A fine breeze prevailed all the time. Yesterday the mercury rose to 100.5 at Greensbroo, 94 at Ashehville. 98 at Charlotte, and 98 at Wilmington. While most of the country was suf- fering under the stress of rec- ord June temperatures, the the highest recorded was at Birmingham where it reached 102 and the lowest at Apena where it was 62.

B. Jetfress, of the State Highway and ruoiic Works Commission, announc es. The present highway commission and the new highway and public works commission, which takes up the work July 1, will probably meet together to go over the Federal pro visions and to get readyy immediate ly for new projects. Already contrac tors have been notified to resume sev eral projects halted in March by or der of President Roosevelt about the time of the banking holiday. Urging that the purchase of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park area be completed as early as possible, Mr. Jeffress said the amount of road funds for that area will depend upon how soon the land is acquired and tprned over to the government. Other ways in which this State will receive benefit from the funds are: 1. Government expenditures for postoffice or other public buildings owned by the government in cities and towns of the State. 2. Expenditures on rivers, har bors and waterways in the State in cluding at least two draw bridges to be built in Hyde county. 3. Work in soil erosion and re forestation of public and private lands. . " ; 4. Building of hospitals, army camps and other facilities, includ ing airports and many other govern ment facilities. Mr. Jeffress also points out that the Industrial Control Bill provides that states, counties and municipali ties may obtain from the govern ment a direct grant of 30 per cent of carriers to remedy their troubles Board deferred action until the reg- through a federal -o-ordinator; The home mortgage bill providing $2,000,000,000 for refinancing mort gages on small homes.

The $3,500,000,000 deficiency bill which provided the funds for, many of the ventures previously decided upon. Many of these proposals were fixed in President Roosevelt's mind before election but there are indications some were the results of unexpected developments after he assumed office.
