SltKMir ; If House Agrees, Legislative Task Will Be Materially Shortened Daily Dispatch Rnrena, In the Sir Walter Hotel. BY HENRY I.ESESNE. Raleign, March 22. —The apparently inceraling sentiment over the State for Governor 7'lvinghaus’ program of a sales tax and an eight months school term has had no tangible effect on the line-up of the Senate on the gov ernor’s plan, but it has brought a lot of optimism to administration lead ers in the upper branch of the Gen eral Assembly, who are convinced that the drastic Bow : e-Cherry appro priations bill cannot keep the- State operating on an adequate basis for the next two years. The Snate it has been conceded for a week or more, is ready to support the administration program. The up per house is far from being solidly behind the governor’s plan, but the administration leaders have a safe working majority. Thus, while it is •marking time, so to speak, until the House does what it is going to do with the pivotal appropriations measure, members of the Senate are more keen ly interestd in what goes on across the hall than they are in <he relative ly unimportant calendar confronting them- Watching Every Break. Many of them are watching for every break in the Bowie-Cherry lines (Continued on Page Six).
