While the House was debating and refusing *o pass a bill proposing to rr-w;ite <he State Constitution by amendment, the Senate met for a very fhert session, and the State Supreme f'ourt t:tnt tj the legislature an op inion that cither of two bills pending in the General Assembly to create a convention to pass on the Blaine re solution to repeal the eighteenth amendment would be constitutional. The General Assembly had asked the court in a joint resolution to adopt the unusual procedure of ruling on th? validity of the convention bills before any sucli measures were pass ed. By unanimous agreement the court held ' hat the Mac Lean bill tc r'.cct convention delegates and vote on the question of convention in the general election of 1934 would be con stitutional. A majority cf the court held that the Murphy bill to call a special elec tion < n the convention this year, and U name delegates at the same time wculd also be constitutional, but a minority dissented. Both rneaouics were reported favor ably, tha House getting the Murphy act and the Senate the Mac Lean bill, and mo it of 'he members of the com mittee?, considering the proposals ex- IHCicsd personal preference for the 'Murphy bill.

Raleigh, April 5- —The bill intro duced in the House Tuesday by Rep resentative Massenburg of Polk, per mitting the manufacture of beer In North Carolina is expected to be pass ed by the General Assembly by ap iproxinruately the same majority by which the Francis bill permitting the sale of beer and wines was passed by the two houses according to opinion here. There wa sa concerted movement when the Francis bill was being pass ed by the House to tack on an amend ment permttng the manufacture of ■beer, but it was decided by those who were considering the amendment to wait until the Francis bill had passed and to incoporate the manufacture lot beer in a new bill. There is little opposition in the ■General Assembly to the passage of a bill permitting the manufacture of ■beer and wines in the State, since it is generally recognized that not only wil la number of industries in the ■State benefit from such legislation, but that it will also result in increase ed employment. While these advantages are to be obtained within the near future, it is said by those who have been study ing the situation, the manufacture of beer in North Carolina has many other potentialities.

C. BASKERVILL. Raleigh, April question of unemployment insurance in North Carolina will not be decided by the present General Assembly, but the 1935 General Assembly will probably have to deal with it, as the result of the passage by the Senate of a House bill authorizing the appointment of a special commission to study the prac ticability of unemployment insurance in North Carolina. While North Carolina has taken the lead among Southern States in the enactment of social legislation, it has been evident that the present Gen eral Assembly has not been of a mind to pass judgment upon the practic ability of unemployment insurance at th J s session, waiting both to give the proposal serious sstudy and to feel out sentiment in the! State. At the beginning of the session. Senator of Davidson, intro duced a bill setting up State unem ployment insurance in North Carolina This bill was fti the hands of the ■Senate Insurance ommittee for more than a month, Mid a committee sub stitute was finally drafted and report ed favorably to the upper house. This bill would have employes to pay one percent of their wages and employers two percent of their pay roll, the money going into a State fund. * It was apparent, however, that a majority o fthe members of the Gen eral Assembly were not willing to pass judgment upon so far-reaching and radically new piece of legislation, and Senator Burgin offered an amend ment to his bill so that it would not go into.effect until February 1, 1935.

But the bill, after passing the House, met a quick •death in the Senate. The proposed tax would have been levied for the purpose of financing a iproperty revaluation, court- expenses, the cost of elections and the cost of ■maintaining county jails.

Hope has been abandoned for the rescue aliv e of the 72 missing officers and men who were aboard the huge navy dirigible Akron when she crash' ed into the sea early Tuesday. “If they are alive,” said Captain James Turner, commandant of the coast guard base at Atlantic City, “it is a miracle.” The search for survivors—or their bodies—went on today, however, with air and sea craft putting out at dawn, searching the sea along the coast as far south as the Virginia Capes. The condition of the three sur vivors, picked up by the German tanker Phoebus shortly after the air ship crashed, was reported good- They suffered no injuries, but were weak from submersion and* shock. The general belief among navy men is that the Akron was caught in the vortex of a terrific thunderstorm and was swept into the sea by down draft 3. Very little wreckage has been found. Two men lost their lives in yester day’s a’r search for the Akron’s sur vivors when the non-rigid blimp J 3 plunged into the sea off Long Beach, N. J.
