HT J- V ftAHKF-ltVll.i,
Raleigh. Nov. 28,--Friends and sup
porters of Governor-elegt J. C. B.
Ehringhau* do not seem to be in the
worried at the news that an
effort is under way to organize an
onti-Ehrinshaus and luxury sales tax
bloc in both the House and Senate of
the 1933 General Assembly. The pur
pose of this bloc, it has ben revealed.
Is to actively oppose any legislation
proposed by Governor Ehringhaus
that is in any way distasteful to this
bloc and especially if it tends to car
ry forward in any way the policies of
Governor O. Max Gardner. In some
respects it is agred that the bloc is
more anti-Gardner than anti-Ehring
haus. since it is reported to have as
an additional objective the repeal of
several of measures and laws urged
by Governor Gardner and enacted un
der his administration.
It was revealed today that the
friends of Governor-elect Ehringhaus
have known ot this movement to or
ganize and anti-administration . bloc
for several days, if not longer than
(that, but that they had been keeping
quiet about it purposely. It was in
tima*ed that they are not in the least
worried at the efforts of the opposi
tion leaders to gain control of the
House and If possible of the Senate
;«-» well, and are confident that Ehring
haus will have ample support in both
houses. Indications are that several
members of both houses have been
approached by the leaders of the
anti-Ehrmgnaus bloc - who are also in
favor of a luxury sales tax —who have
not taken kindly to the idea and who
nave more or less "spilled the beans.”
According to the rather meager de
tails that have leaked out. the plan
is to get a majoriy of the members of
the House and Senate to agree to
stand together in opposing any po
licies promulgated by Governor
Ehringhaus that give any indications
I of resembling the policies put into
I effect by Governor Gardner and to
I also stand together for a luxury sales
ta-x.
Just who the real leaders in the
[ movement are has not been definite^'
! learned, although it i—s indleatd that
I the House bloc expects to look to Tam
' C Bowie, of Ashe county, who was
! defeated in the Democratic primary
I for the nomination for United *-tates
Senator, as its leader, while Senator
John Hinsdale, of Wake county Is
i expected to be the leader of the bloc
in the Senate. Both of these are
known to be ardent luxury' a* l ** tax
supporters and equally ardent In
dislike of Governor Gardner and his
and to extend this dislike into the

HY K A UK Kit VII.I,
Raleigh. JNoy. 28. An entirely new
State Constittidn. rather than a series
of amendments to the present, one. is
recommended in the report of the
Constitutional Commission to (he
governor and the 1933 General As
sembly This commission was created
by the 1931 General Assembly to study
the present Constitution ami th re
commend changes or else draft an en
tirely new document. ]t did the latter.
A number of important changes aie
contained in the new Constitution re
commended hy the commission. One
of the most important, in thp opinion
of many, is that giving the governor
the veto power, which can he over
ridden only hy a three-fourth major
ity in both houses of the Genera!
Assembly. A minority report on the
veto power i.s submitted by Clarence
Poe. a member of the commission,
which would permit the overriding of
the governor’s veto by a simple ma
jority in both houses.
Minority Report.
Another minority report .signed bv
four members of the commission,
would give the governor power to ap
point ail the major State officials
with the exception of the lieutenant
governor and the State auditor. This
would put into effect the so-called
"short ballot” plan Only the gover
nor and lieutenant governor would be
elected by the people, while the audi
tor would be elected by the General
Assembly. The secretary of State, at
torney general, superintendent of pub
lie instruction, commissioner of re
venue. highways. agriculture, labor
and insurance would be appointed by
the governor with the consent and
approval of the Senate. But a major
ity of the members opposed the in
clusion of this plan, so it was not con
tained in the re-written Constitution
submitted. This minority report was
signed bbv George E. Butler, of Clin
ton; J. O. Carr, of Wilmington; Bur
ton Craiga, of Winston-Salem, and
Judge John J Parker, of Charlotte.
The memncis of the commission who
refused to include the "short ballot”
plan in the new draft of the Con
stitution are Chief Justice Walter P. j
Stacy, of the State Supreme Court. 1
chairman of the commission: A. J.
Maxwell and Clarence Poe, of Raleigh
Judge Michael Schenck. of Hender
sonville, and Congressman Lindsay
Warren, of Washington. N. C.
Few Criminal Changes.
Few material changes are made m
Article I of the suggested new Con
stitution as compared with the one
now in effect, those relating to
changes in criminal procedure. In Ar
ticle 11. relating to the legislative de
partment, the first change provides
for filling wacancies in the member
ship of the Genera! Assembly by
boards of county commissioners. The
second change provides for the gov
ernment of counties, cities and towns
by general laws only rather than by
public local laws, as it now permit
ted. The third change gives the veto
power to the Governor and the fourth
change would prohibit the appoint
ment of members of the general as
sembly to any offices created by the
session of which they are members.
Article HI is hew and contains a
provision for the continuation of

DANIEL AGREED TO
PREDICTIONS MADE
Correspondent Character,
izes Mr. Pou as Admirable
Specimen of as Attractive
Type as U. S. Ever Offered
an Old-Fashioned Southern
Gentleman
By CHARLES V. STEWART
Washington. Nov. 28. Congressman
Edward W. Pou of North Carolina
recall* a prediction he made in 1913
that Franklin D. Roosevelt would be
president of the United States sooner
or later.
That he ventured this forecast when
she says he , did can be proved by
Josephus Daniels, who was secretary
of the navy at the time.
Governor Roosevelt was assistant
secretary of the navy.
Even then Congressman Pou was
one of the veteran lawmakers. The
Raleigh district of the Tarheel State
first sent him to the national capital
In the first year of the present cen
tury. He will be at the beginning of
his seventeenth teim Qwxt March,
and thenceforward the father of the
house of represntatives. As yet Rep
resentative Gilbert N. Haugen of
lowa is his congressional senior by a
single term, but the lowan retire* at
the end of the coming winter’s ses
sion.
Legislators of exceedingly long ex
perience on Capitol Hill seem rather
curiously unconscious of the fact that
a certain historic interest attache# to
thpir careers because of all the mem
orable events that they have been a
part of.
For example. 1 never was able to
get either from Congressman Haugen
or from the late Congressman Henry
Allen Cooper of Wisconsin, who was
patriarch of the house before him,
anything but the barest account of
his early days in Washington, though
the Hawkeye statesman could tell
stories, if he would, of doings as far
back as the latter 1890’s, and “Uncle
Henry Allen” was personally acquaint
ed with “Czar” Reed's era as speaker.
Congressman Pou, did, indeed, delve
nearly two decades into the past for
his prophecy concerning Governor
Roosevelt, but that was because of
the link with its recent fulfillment.
The Carolinian Ls an ■. aftfbirable
specimen of as attractive a type aa
the United States ever has> bad to
offer an old fashioned southern gen
tleman.
He is. as a matter of fact, a lawyer,
but he looks more the planter—tall,
thin, and, in dress, at the same time
informal and yet immaculate. Not
quite 70. he appears a little more than
that, for he evidently Is not robust.
“Distinguished" is the adjective which
best fits him.
Consideration and amiability ex
press themselves in every sentence he
utters.
It is a type, in short, that take*,
generations in the perfecting.
As to Governor Foosevelt—
"Yes it was in 1913.” said the con-,
cresnman. reflecting to mak sure of
the year.
"I had called to see Secretary,
Daniels, one of my oldest friends.
“Young Roossvelt came in and I
was introduced to him. He impressed
