These delegates to the biennial con gress, the first since the Hitlerites came into power, owe their present authority ot Hitler, and here had an opportunity t 0 show their gratitude by shouting, applauding and saluting. The hall was a riot of brown, and it seemed like a gathering of military men. although Hitlejr’s press chief, addressing 1,500 correspondents from all parts of the world, assured them that “the Nazi storm troopers have no military character whatever, and are merely political soldiers who con quered bolshevism.” (Senator Robert F. chair man of the labor board, said this imill was the only one i n Philadelphia which had refused it© accept the hoard’s proposed settlement, involving a free election among workers to de cide whether they wanted a union or in on-union policy. •> The NRA was trying to compose a silk strike in Paterson, N.

Several days ago the sales tax di vision issued a ruling that sales made from wagons, even though operated by manufacturers, were retail sales and that hence the sale of ice from ice wagons and trucks would be subject to the sales tax. That made the ice men hot.

REVENUE OF STATE MONTH JUST ENDED General Fund Receipts Alone Are $3,045,736, Against $1,977,824 In August, 1933 EXPECT SALES TAX TO REACH $550,000 Beer Tax Revenue $39,930, and Highway Income sl,- 345,560, Compared With $1,258,504 In August Last Year, Maxwell’s Reports Indicate Daily Dispatch Rureaa, In the Sir Walter Hotel, ItV J. C. IIASKK.It VI 1,1,. Raleigh, Sept. I.—State revenue col lections in August for the general fund alone amounted to $3,045,736 as compared with collections in August, 1932, of $1,977,824. This total, of course includes the first month’s collection of revenue from the three per cent sales tax, which amounted to $358,579. The Department of Revenue believes that the total collections from the sales tax for the first month of its operation, will amount to fully $550,- 000 when the tax has been paid on all charge sales as well as on cash sales, and when those companies that have been granted extensions, make their sales tax payments. The beer tax brought in a total of $39,030 during August, bringing the total revenue from beer for July and August to $78,999. An appreciable increase in revenue frem almost all sources, with the ex ception of collections from the fran chise tax, are shown in the August collections as compared with those in August, 1932. This apparent decrease in levenue from the franchise tax, however, is purely temporary and not real, acrording to Commissioner of Revenue A. J. Maxwell, who explains that this is reassessment year, caus- , ing a delay in getting reports from corporations that pay this tax, thus throwini 'he payments later than oth erwise would be the case. Collections from tne gasoline and motor vehicle tares are also showing a substantial increase over August of last year, with a tottal of $1,345,560 (Continued on Page Five.)

I.—(AP) — Governor Blackwood today summoned representative citizens of tobacco growing counties to his bedside here to ascertain how solidly sentiment favors a tobacco sales holiday in South Carolina. Charles H. Gerald, secretary to the governor, said the State executive feels “inclined” to declare a volun tary holiday, but wishes to be assur ed that it will be generally observed. Gerald issued a call for three rep rsentative tobacco planters from each county to confer with him here at 3 p. m. today. It was planned to send a sub-com mittee to wait upon the governor with the decision of the conference. The governor is confined to his bed at the mansion by an attack of laryn gitis.
