SIATEIO BORROW
FROM RELIEF BUND
But Amount Will Be As
Small As Possible,
Gardner Declares
Dally Dlipntrk Flarriia,
In the Mir Wnlfrr Hole*,
nV J V. DA.IKKHVII.I,
Raleign July 21.—Just how much
North Carolina will need to borrow
from the $300,000,000 relief fund just
set up for unemployment relief, is
not yet known and probably will not
be known for a month or two, Gov
ernor O. Max Gardner said today.
The bill provides that the money
shall be loaned to states for unem
■ ployment relief on the basis of need
rather than population, but that no
State may borrow more than 15 per
cent, or $45,000,000. This provision
was to prevent states such as New
York. Illinois, Pennsylvania and oth
l ers from getting more than $45,000,-
00C.
Loans can be made to states from
this fund, through the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, upon appilca
’ tion from the governors of the states
showing the need in those states. This
money can be expended for food and
clothing for the destitute and needs
for providing shelter.
While Governor Gardner does not
beHeve that North Carolina will need
i as much of this money as will some
other states, he is quite sure that this
State will have to borrow something
l from the fund in order to get thro
ugh this coming Winter,
i “We are now taking inventory In.
the various sections of the State with
a view to finding out what conditions
are and what conditions will be this
winter, and until we have finished this
survey we will be unable to deter
mine just how much of this money
we will need,” Governor Gardner said.
‘ Since atl the money borrowed from
this fund must be repaid later—at
least, theoretically—Governor Gard

bill wns passed by-Ik slleuse several

administration handy men. The bill
was most bitterly opposed by Secre

the “good man Friday” of President
Hoover.
But in spite of the opposition of
the Republicans, Its friends finally
managed to get it attached to the

It was an arrangement under

they wanted. Bonner contended the
contrary.

Pickens, 3. C., July 21. (AP)—Four
men held up the South Carolina State
Bank here this a*temdbn and escaped
with cash and currency estimated at
around $20,000.
The four men drove up to the bank
in a big automobile. While two re

engine running, the others entered the
bank, deserted except for three em
ployees.
One ot the men covered the man

other scopped up the available money.
Then, with levelled revolvers, they
backed out the front door, sprang in

how much money was obtained.

The names of Smith, Garsaud and
Draper first came before the senate

ground that he had given veidences of
liking for power rpagnates. From
Huey P. Long, then governor of Louis

test against the selection of Gar

Nevertheless, the three were con

The truth is that the occasion was
the eve of a holiday, on which the
senators were so childishly eager to
depart that they acted in thoroughly
shipshod fashion, virtually without
investigation.

Draper in office than they met. not
