TIME TO BEGIN FIGHT • While the country watches the fight over a Federal sales tax in the na tional House of Representatives, to gether with the r*ing tide of opposi tion to Its impot«H*on, those who would he even more directly affected in North Carolina by such a program as was proposed In the 1931 General As sembly should be looking toward a renewal of their opposition in advance of the convening of another legisla ture in this Stole. Such a tax was averted a year ago only by the slun ©f the teeth, and nhere M a very real prospect hhui it may succeed a year hence if something is not done to head It off. The big task of the next General Assembly will be that of removing the 35 cents property tax for the support of the six months school. There ap pears to be pretty general agreement that that must be done. And up to Ua* time no definite program has been worked out for finding the source of that much money. It would be so easy to slap on a sales tax, which would be equally aa crippling to business next year and the years fol lowing ss It would have been after ihe close of the 1931 legislature, and potadb ! y even more so. Ttvooi intereeV.- which would be af fected by such a tax a seri ous mistake if they Walt until the General Anoembly meets to begin their fight. Now is the time to begin. Can didates. who are now announcing themselves all over the State, should ' be sounded out in advance of the pri mary to learn their views, and If the sales tax is to be avoided these repre sentatives should be acquainted with the sentiment of their constituents. They' must be imprewed by the oppo sition. and it ought to be done before they are elected. S 3 MI’ATIIY TO INSTITUTE Henderson people, who have through the years come to have a high appreciation of the work being done at the Henderson Institute a school for colored children here, sym pathize with Dr. J. A. Cotton. Its di recting head, ami the faculty and pu pils in the loss of the administration building by fire early today. It was feared by those who stood and looked as the flames were con suming the building that the school might be forced to close for the re mainder of the year when K* class room were des royed. but a different note was sounded when Dr Cotton was heard from today. He said he expect ed to start up again on next Monday, with all classe.- running as usual. This will be made possible by the uti lisation of the new gymnasium, erected only a yoar or two ago, and by hold ing classes iu the library, the T. M. C. A. haH. and the old sewing rooms. That is the spirit that has kept the Institution running through the nearly forty yeans since It was est&blidbed here. Dr. Cotton has been the head of the school during most of that time. He has lived a circumspect life In the community, and today la respected and «Aean«d by the white people the some as those of his own race. His services have won him recognition aa being an able leader of his race. Hundreds of colored oifiaeno who are an asst* to the communttlaa In which they Uve owe their station In Hfe in acme measure to the training they have received at the Henderson Insti tute. A fire to a disastrous thing when K wrecks a buaines sor a school, or wTpes out one's own home. Today's blaze created no houring problem for the InAtttutS' but It did produce a sKua ttoo perhaps equally aa serious by de priving the school of Rs ctaas rooms and assembly hell. Dr. Cotton Is hopeful that arrange ments flan be made to mat ore the burned structure with a building more modern and even better equipped, one that will be capable of rendering greater service to this growing enter prise and for which a need already ex isted even before the fire. Friends of the school here and elsewhere will hope that this can be done, and that by the time for opening in the fall the InfiUtote will be better prepared than ever before to fiU its important place in the life of this community and section.

C.,) DAILY DISPATCH- FRIDAY,-' M A R C H 18, 1982 *1 JAMES ¥ ASWELLP By Central Press New York, March 18—This Loony Town: No cotnemj.orary flip-cracker has lopped O Henry’s remark about the majestic Statue With a Torch adjoin ing the local port: (he Dutch city of New York." Incidentally. Peart White's nick nace for Manhattan is “Dearie" . . . Why? . . . Ask her. There aren't many children cf tbe spotlight who feel that kindly about the town after knowing it as leng and as well as Prarl knows it... Rupert Hughes nas said that Ba tavia street is “the most Dlckensy thoroughfare in the New York.” ... I yearn to comment on that observa tion. but occasionally even columists are dedicated to candor: I never have been there. As lime goes by I am more con vinced than ever that the great public which booms box-office receipts is no’, interested "in sports" at a11... That powerful horde is fascinated by sports personalities and it is these colorful and momentary phenomena the Dempseys, the Artbte Booths, the TiUlens, the Ruths, the Jonses. and the Londoses —that make promoters happy... The public did not lose interest in boxing: Dempseys left the big-time ring. . .The public did not suddenly be come fascinated by wrestling, but was drawn to the gate by Jim Londos' as tonishing capacity for putting on a whacking and sufficiently gory show. To my mere male amazement, I spied a corsage of orchids planted on rhe back of a lady's low cut evening gown the other night...l was certain for a moment She had made an incred ible mistake, and entered her gown from the wrong direction, but I was told that on the contrary this is the latest fashion... Pol a Negri, who has completely recovered from her illness, bids fair to inaugurate another spiffy mode with that garland of orchids slhe wears appended to the left wrist... ABOUT NUTS The thousands of cracked-hranded ma-itives received in the Lindbergh baby cas e have given sociologists and psychia-tnsts grounds for alarm about the state of the national sanity. Are there really that many cranks and nuts loose in the land? A professor of mental diseases in a local hospital discussed the matter today with me and dropped an optimistic counter theory . This savant's opinion is -that the de tiie to write anonymous and silly let ters frequently overwhelms folks as sane as you or I (well, as sane aa you arc anyway). Brief thought recalls corroborating incidences. For example .a school mate of mine who led his class in differential calculus, once confessed to an irrepressible yen for writing anonymous notes full of groundless tips to the prohibition authorities. One curious angle in connection with the Lindbergh mail is that after the “ransom note” (of whose existence I am extremely skeptical, as previously reported) began to be printed in the newspapers, the papers began mis spelling Liudy's name as it was mis spelled in the alleged note: “Lind berg." One said afternoon oazefctc spelled the name that way through an entire lead story. POLICE Headquarters of local constabula ls Fawcett Alive?

TRADE WITH CAPONE TALKED IN CABINET tCohtlnued from Page One.) press, canvassing he ‘pros and cons' of the proposition. “Imagine a discussion, at any cabi net meeting In our past history, of an offer from a criminal, under sen tence to a long penitentiary term, to buy freedom by employing his influ ence with the underworld to return a kidnaped baby!" "Regardless of the outcome of the affair," said the lilinonis representa tive, “the virtual declaration by the police of a hands-off policy and carte blanche to Salvatore Spitale and Irving Bltz. in their quest for the Lindbergh baby, marked society's complete surrender to gang-rule in America. “In fact, the greatest danger which most folk have sensed from the first was the danger that the kidnaping might not prove to be of gang origin, but the act of a lone criminal, or pos sibly a lunatic. "Gangland has its responsibilities. “In emergencies like the Sourlands’ outrage, the chief difficulty is to es tablish contact with the right leader. That accomplished, he can be treated with as an independent sovereign.” “The development of this situation.” continued the congressman, "I don’t for an instant hesitate to attribute wholly to prohibition. "As United States district attorney at East St. Louis until just before Volsteadism's advent, I can testify that neither gangsterism nor racket eering in any form existed in western Illinois, where now they are rampant. "Dry law modification will not ex tinguish them Immediately. Neverthe less, bootlegging is their basis. That is the soil they grow in. Without it they can be cut down gradually and cannot spring up again. The gangster primarily is a bootlegger and it is as a bootlegger that he is tolerated. As a gangster exclusively, toleration of him will not last long.” “Poet-war economic stress," answers Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas, the eighteenth amendment’s author, “is the cause and the only cause of gangsterism and racketeering. "Thorough investigation has shown that prohibition has had nothing to do wtih them. "Kidnaping is a crime highly typi cal of the present depression. “Yes, it is true that the racketeer dates back to the period of so-called prosperity preceding the crash of 1929. That was a prosperity, however, al most purely of the stock market. It was not prosperity for the masses. “Far from being better, conditions today would be vastly worse, were it not for prohibition.” History, and especially early his tory. is the record of the migration of races and their intermingling with other races. “Mis.
