MELT DEFEAT PREDICTED BY LONG New Louisiana Senator Gives Views On Presi dential Campaign Washington. Jan. 25.—(APi—Clad in r . ik pajamas, Louisiana's pictuers qu political cza*\ Htiey Long, urged the Democratic party today to nomi nate Speaker Garner, Senator Har rison. of Mississippi, or Senator Rob inson. of Arkansas, for president. In Washington to change his title from governor to senator. Long got out of bed early to discuss presidential possibilities and national affairs with newspapermen. He said that be favored the nomina tion of Garner, Robinson or Harrison, because any of them would be win ners. He fell that Al Smith could be elected if again nominated. He pre dicted that if Governor Roosevelt of Now York were nominated, he would be defeated. This statement about Roosevelt, was used significantly on Capitol Hill. Dr E. C. Brooks of State College has announced that everything possible is going to be done to retain these 25 employes on the staff of the experi ment station at least until July. Tbo dismissal of these employes was be ing made necessary because of the shrinkage in the funds of the State Department of Agriculture, which are derived entirely from tax tax on fertilizer. Since the sale of commer cial fertilizer has decreased tremen dously during the past year, because of the inability of farmers to buy fer tilizer. the revenue from this source has of course dropped in the same pro portion. Quite a number believe that if the dead timber and unessential activities in th Department of Agriculture can be eliminated by the Budget and Personnel Division, as sedtns to be likely, that sufficient funds will be saved to make possible the continua tion of the State College Experiment Station and the Important research work it is doing. Reports are that Messer. Burke and Dunlap have been doing some heavy slashing in some of the divisions and offices of the De partment of Agriculture, where many agree much unnecessary expense can be eliminated. The work of trimming salaries and. expenses in all the departments and divisions will have to be completed this week and the action approved by Governor Gardner, so that the may be complied with that requires 30 days (Continued qo Page Three.)

The belief that Josephus Daniels, editor of The News and Observer and former secretary of the Navy in the Wilson adminis tration, will not be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Gov ernor, but that he will undoubtedly support the candidacy of A.

He Is expected to return to Raleigh either Monday or Tuesday. But no announcement of his candidacy Is expected. The conviction is growing in po litical circles here, however, that A. D.

In the Mr Wnltrr Hotel. nr j r. oiskervill Raleigh. Jan. 25. Increased ac tivity for cotton manufacturing in North Carolina in 1932 is forecast by the Department of Conservation and Development after a study of indi cations and recent developments in the industry in North Carolina. Taking the year 1931 as a whole. 76,851 more bales of cotton were con sumed than in 1930, it was pointed out. During the first five months of last year, 230,605 fewer bales were con sumed in 1931 than in 1930; but during the last seven months. 307,450 more bales were used in manufacturing in 1931 than in 1930, indicating that hte mills did considerably better during the last half of the year just closed than they did in the preceding year. The mills in the cotton-growing states were responsible for most *of this increase, it was pointed out, since the New England mills on the whole did not do so well in 1931 as in 1930. “As a general rule,” said Bryan W. Sipe, statistician of the conservation department, “the price of cotton and of yarn and cloth was considerably lower last year than during 1930 and many of the mills operated on narrow margins of profit. There were excep tions to this rule, however, as some mills operated on full-time schedules during the enettre year and were able to declare the usual dividends. The turn of the year brings further sltfna of continued or even increased ac tivity for cotton manufacturing estab lishments. “Textiles, Inc., of Gastonia, an 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY EFFORT TO BALANCE BUDGET FOR NATION GETTING^ATTENTION New And Higher Taxation Will Go Hand In Hand With New Economy Measures UNTOUCHED SOURCES WILL BE CALLED ON Removal of Reconstruction Finance Corporation From Spotlight Brings Out Tax Increase Plans Washington, J»n. 25.—(AP) — New and higher taxation, designed to attain in combination with stringent economy a balanced budget once again, Itecomes this week Ibe Issue of paramount Im portance in Congress.
