May 10. —The General As srtiibly has at last disposed of the troublesome duty of selecting- the new tni'tces for the University of North Carol!no to fill the vacancies that oc cur every two years. After almost uv <> hours of discussion, a joint ses 0f the Senate and House Tues riav named 31 additional trustees for t he term expiring April 1, 1931, 1937, 1939 and 1911. Not as many members () f ,ho General Assembly were on the jj.t presented by the joint committee tllu . tjm eas the first time they re ported. This list contained the name of folder Governor O. Max Gardner, w ho wi ll former Governor Cameron Morrison was ommitted from the first list, while former Governor Morrison’s name wa s added from the floor, on ,he nomination of Representative Walter Murphy, of Salisbury. Former Qovernot A. W. McLean of Robeson county, was on both lists. Only thiee changes were made in t he '.is' as submitted by the commit tees. although numerous nominations were made from the floor. J. D. Grinus. of Beaufort county, was elect ed instead of B. B. Everett, of Mar tin county; Cameron Morrison was elected in place of W. Lunsford Long of Halifax county, while on the mo tion of Senator W. R. Francis, of Haywood, his own name was stricken from 'he list and W. T. Hannah, of Haywood county, placed upon it in stead . Every ' tie semed well satisfied with the li't of trustees finally selected with th° exception of some of the Sta'e College alumni and Represen ta'ive Allen, of Granville county, who cas' the only negative vte against ac- the report of the committee. State College lost one alumnus in the schuffle when B. B. Everett, of Martin county, was removed from the list and J. D. Grimes, of Beau for county, a Chapel Hill alumnus, pu’ in his place by the amendment offered by Representative Thompson o! IVaufort. This reduced the num ber of .State alumni among the- 34 trustees selected from 8 to 7 and Jcares State College only 13 alumni on the entire board of 100 members.

House Faces Jam Over School Bill In Provision (Continued from Page One.) they would not seek to amend the Griffin bill only to secure supple ments for a nine months term in the larger cities and restoring the certi fication of teachers,, one of the first amendments, fofered by Represeaita-i tive Turner, of Guilford is dphgrted to place the new State School Com miission right back into the hands of the eachers and school politicians. ; This amendment would require ! thd State superintendent of public in struction to i>e the executive secre tary of the new school commission.. If adopted, this amendment would merely make the school commission a.n adjunct of the State Department of Public Instruction and bring it under the domination of the North Carolina Education Association, which is exacttly wihat the school superintendent® and school politicians want. ; . The real purpose of this amend ment is to see that Leßoy Martin, for the past several years executive secretary of the board, of equaliza tion cannot be appointed as secre tary of the board- of equalixation, cannot be appointed as secretary of the new school commission, it is agreed here, since the school people have been after his job and g Qalp, for several yeftrs and especially in this session of the General Assembly. It is generally admitted that tihe school forces' would rather see Martin oust ed than get almiost any other provi sion* in the law. It is doubtful, how-* ever, that the House will adopt this amendment, since it would destroy the purpose for the creation pf ttye school commission, which is prirh arily to keep the administration of the eight months school • term and the distribution of "the $16,000,000 out of the hands of both the State Depart ment of Fulic Instruction and of the professional school men. They, iti turn, have beeri- pulling every string possible to, get> the adnpanistration of both in thkr hhftdis.’ T ~*'f ’ ’lt is understood that'in their con ference with Governor Ehringhaus HMqnday, afternoon," representatives of the School forces suggested such an amendment, that the governor ex pressed his opposition to it and that it was miore or less agreed that it would not be offered. . Yet it was one of the first offered'when the bill ‘Was taken up Tuesday ’ afterfiobn. More than 20 ' amendments had been offered to the bill in addition to this Turner amendment u)p to late yesterday afternoon, and then Rep resentative R. Gregg Cherry, of Gas ton, had not finished explaining the bill. Amiong these were several amendments by Variou s members in symlpathy' with the school forces re ducing the limits on the size of the administrative units from a popu lation of 2 000 pupils to only 1,000, thus leaving mtore small charter dis tricts and hence miore jobs for sup erintendents. Most of the- other' amendment® offered were either clar ifying amendments or not material. Somte of these will undoubtedly be adopted. ‘ ' Although those favoring the re mioval of the Olemlent amCndimeait limiting the school (term to eight mtonths and no miore, are hopeful of getting it changed to permit the levy ing of supplemental taxes for a ninth month by a vote of the people, there is still some doubt as to whether this will be permitted. There is still a strong sentiment in the House in favor of holding the school term to eight months, even in the larger cit ies. But since Governor Ehringhaus has thrown his influence in favor of permitting those cities that want a nine months term to have it, some think the house may agree to it. The next problem will b© to get the Senate to agree to it. The next prob lem will be to get the Senate to agree to it. J The school forces are. continuing to make every effort to gain control of as miuch of the school machinery as possible, especially by trying, to get the' School Commission merged with the State Department of Pub lic Instruction, as planned in the I Turner amendment. iNEGRO BURNED IN WRECK INmjRIED Sylvester Alston, Negro, who was fatally burned in the wreck of a si qulor car Ihe was driving early last Saturday, and Who died late Satur day night was burned here yesterday afternoon.

Raleigh, May 10. —The passage <, of several so-called “sneak” bill® in the General Assembly during the past few days has clearly illustrated the de sirability of a limited executive veto in Nbrth Carolina, according to op inion in many quarters. Despite the fact that a close watch is maintain ed for this type of legislation during the close of every session when mem bers are getting local bills passed un der suspension of the rules on the plea that there isn’t time for a com mitted hearing, insidious local legis lation is sometimes passed in this •manner. j <. r It is pointed out here tkat a limit ed executive veto,; such as is provided in the new Constitution that will be submitted to the voters in the 1934 general election for approval, j would serve to throwKhe* spotlight of pub licity upon any, ;bill ”thkt the' legisla ture might pass to hastily, and also prevent the possibility of any “dirty] work’L during the last few days of the session, when everybody is anxious to wind bp and go home. North Carolina, it is pointed out, is one of the few states in the Union (which does not give its governor Veto power. The North Carolina Constitu tion Commission, authorized by, the 1931 legislature to draw up a new! Constitution and submit it to the pre sent legislature for approval, recom mended a gubehnatorial veto, to be sustained by a two-thirds majority of both Houses. The current .legisla ture, however before passing the Constitution on to the voters, amend ed it so that only a simple' majority of both houses would be required to override the executive veto. ; About'the only effect of the limit ed veto would be 4 to permit the gov ernor to. retqrn lo athe legislature any bill that he might consider it to have paired too hastily, it would also have the\effect of throwing thje spotlight of publicity upon bills which have been passed without the formality of committee hearings.

As the . revenue .bill/vyas .passed in both Houses, it contained a provision making it- mandatory; for the mer chants to pass, the Sales tax on to the consumer. The merchants some days before had announced that they would accept the sales tax only .under pro test and would test! its constitution ality, in the c<*urts. So when the con ferees got hold of the bill thjey were of . the unaimous opitiion ; iljj&t, .this mandatory provision -would; be the fchtief target: should the merchants contest the tax and; all of be ing good lawyers, they decided to make the bill fool-proof . They were of the unanimous op inion that the sales -tax should be passed on to the ‘consumers, but they changed the phraseology of the bill declaring it to be the intent of the bill for the merchants -not to absorb the tax, but leaving it up to the mer chants, in co-operation with the re venue department, to work out some uniform system of passing the tax on. For instance, they pointed uot ,a mer chant could not pass on to the con sumer the sales tax on &n article costing 0n1y..; . anickel, or dime, but he could have' some uniform system df Adding this tax to larger pur chases, or any other uniform me'thod 'that the merchants might work out among themselves and with the ap proval of the revenue commissioner* This system has been successfully operated in which has had a sales tax for -several years. The Mississippi sale stax bill left it up to Ihe merchants of the State to get to gether with the State’s tax collection agency, ..and , vyork out some ujiifbrm system';- and so £ar t according th sales : tax thfe merchants of J4is ■ sissfipiii > n«t' a penny on ; account of the sales'tax. Members of the Seriate conference -committee ex pressed-the unanimous opinion that the changed phrasedl-ogy was not an lEtilteiript to flmpose ! a hardship on I the merchants, but to cooperate with them in passing the sales tax on to th consumers. Conference Report Upon Revenue Bill Is Given Approval (Continued from t*oge One.) tkins, *of Jackson, asked the House ito also re-consider the vote by which it amended the Senate bill so as to allow-..a,, ninth school month. The Senate measure prohibited op eration of a public school beyond eight months, or 160 days. An effort by Representative Turner, of Guil ford, to table the Tompkins’ motion to reconsider lost 50 to 37, but then the Tompkins proposal was defeated 47 to 38. The House passed and returned to the Senate for concurrent in amend ments a bill affecting more than half of the counties of the State, which would allow the purchase and sale of deposits in banks which have been closed for more than 18 months. , COTTON GOODS BOUGHT. - New York, May 10. —Following a day or two of comparative quiet, an other buying wave started in Worth street today.
