Sept- 14 (AD—North Carolina State College authori ties announced this afternoon thpt 14.850 contracts pledging re duction covering -6 ,*6B actres planted to tofacco this year had been signed by farmers up to last night, and Governor Ehringhaus Indicated he would call for a re. opening of Eastern North Caro • ltna tobacco warehouses Mon day or Tuesday. The preliminary report on acre age signed for redaction totalled j little more than 25 percent of the average acreage the last three years. 607.383 acres, but college authorities said “some of the larger producing couuntles were not included.’* Only 34 of the 57 tobacco pro. ducing counties were listed at all hut E Y Eloyd.

Rale git, Sept. 1$. —(AP) — Thd whirlwind campaign to obtain a parity price of above 17 cents for hue-cured tobacco through acreage reduction entered its final stages to day. Its success already assured, county agents prepared to wind up the drive by carrying government contracts to ihs minority of bright leaf growers ■who have not yet agreed to cut pro duction in 1934 and 1935. More than half of South Carolina’s 100,000 acres were represented in ag ri ments already signed, it was es timated, while esveral North Carolina CGunties reported the drive as vir tually completed, and others prepared to bring the campaign to p.n end to day. The rapidity with which Carolina powers have signed tlhe contracts was partly ascribed to their desire to sea reopening of the markets which have bee. 1 , closed in both South and North Carolina by gubernatorial pro clamation for the past ten days. Governors of both states have said th r y would not consent to a lifting of tobacco holiday until the acreage reduction-price raising campaign is completed. *- Tobacco experts expected to see the reopening of auction sales by Mon day.

FIN D I POLITICS ' IS CASWELL PROBE Motive for Investigation Considered One for Bet terment of School Daily DiM|inteh Rnri>na, ln the Sir Walter Hotel. BV J. C. MASKERVILI,. Raleigh. Sept, 13—While there is n'o longer anything to indicate there were any political consideration's in volved in the recent shake-up in the CsKweMl Training ScKooTTn EWffNWWt, or that Governor J. C. B. Ehring. 'haus had anything to do with the changes made there in which I>r. W. H. Dixon, its superintendent and Dr. A. M. McCuiston, medical di rector were dismissed by the new hoard of directors the feeling is still .prevalent that Governor Ehringhaus made a mistake by withholding the report of the investigation made into the conduct of the school so long. Most of this investigation on which the reprt is based was made during the administration of former Gover nor O. Max Gardner. It was de livered to Governor Ehringhaus hack i!h May of- this year and a copy of it fit was sent to every member of the Iboard of director® lof the Oats Well training school'. The prevailing bel'ef here is that If .Governor Ehringhaus had instructed iMrs. W. T. Boat, emmissioner of tpublic welfare, under whose direc tion the investigation was made, to fyave made the report public at the time the officials of the school were d ismissed by the nlew board of di_ rectors there would have been much -lesis criticism and fewer charged that the Governor was playing politics. But those who have read the report of the investigation made by the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare sure convinced that politics or no politics the school 'has been (grossly mismanaged and that a change in adimilnistration was essen tial. Whether the new administra tion wfiDl be any better than, the old one remain® to be seen. The, administration of the school seems t have gone utterly stagnant under the direction of Dr. Dixon and Dr. McCuiston, according tio the report submitted by R. Eugene Brown and Dr. H, W. Crane, of the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare who made the investigation. Incidentally, it has been definitely Marmed) that this Envee/Mgataon was undertaken by the welfare depart ment, at the suggestion of former Governor Gardner, alter having re ceived many complaants from county welfare officers over the State vfttsa had dealings with the school. The report states that the investigators found Dr. Dixon turned over too much responsibility to other employ, ees and contains a very strong in dictment of Dr. McCuiston who ap parently turned over moot of his du ties as medical officer to the nurses Sn charge.' The report is gone rally commendatory of the work of W L. Sutton as business manager and who ihas been, retained as farm superin tendent.

After two days of intensive can vass of the domestic situation, he feels farm prices are lagging behind in the general upward trend. The President, in consequence, now is facusing attention on this end of the recovery campaign. He hopes, it was said, to bring about an increase in farm prices dou ble that already attained in the low mark of recent years. There was no disclosure iof the means to be fololewd or what place— if any—the exercise of his inflation powers plays in his plans. While not satisfied with the in crease in employment, either, Mr. Roosevelt is gratified that both agri cultural prices and employment have picked up. He realizes that the whole proposi tion cannot be completed in six months, or perhaps a year. Meanwhile, the administration is putting full steam behind the recovery drive. Mr. Roosevelt expects the banks to put out the necessary credit to tide over the small merchant, es pecially in relation to furtherance of the NRA. The President was cheered today by a report from the director of em ergency relief showing a decrease of 29 percent in August under July in the number of relief cases on the rolls This is the first year since 1929 that the August report has shown a de crease.

ItV .1 C. 94SKERVILI.. Raleigh, Sept. 13.—0 f whom are the school teachers afraid if they tell what they know about the “inside” of the school question? Are they know about the “inside” of the school queston? Are they afraid of the State School Commission or of their super intendents? Several letters from school teachers have recently been printed in the Ra leigh News and Observer to the effect that if the teachers complained or told whac they knew they would lose their jobs. These letters evoked con siderable ditorial commnt asking if there was a type of terrorism in the schools seeking to intimdate the teachers and insisting that if this was the case something should be done about it. The implication was that the State School Commission might be responsble for instilling this fear among the school teachers. But this is not the case. The school commssion has no power either to hire or fire school teachers as any one who has read the new school law knows. It does have the power to pre vent the election of any city or coun ty superintendent by refusing to ap prove his election and can remove su perintendents for cause after charges have been brought against them and proved. But it has absolutely nothing to do with the selection, of teachers. As a result, teachers can, and do, make any complaints and report any facts to the school commission they my desire to make without any fear of losing their jobs. This correstondent knows that individual members of the school commission have received and continue to receive many letters from class room teachers tellinl of con ditions n particular schools and par ticular sehoo* systems and that mem bers have found these letters very helpfhl in determining policies foF the administraton of the schools. It is known that the members of the school commission invite these let ters and that the contents and names ington Monday and make the plea to the President. The governor was asked by tP resolution adopted fct the mass meet, iug to take, ih.es PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON EXCEPT SUNDAY.

Three training can p* had been es tablished to t'-ain 2,000 students, many of them in their teer.s. of the teachers who write them are always .held in the strictest con* fidence. This correspondent has received numerous letters from school teach ers telli ig of conditions., of* 1 discre pancies in * salaries and other prac tices in various school systems, and these teachers have invariably re quested that their names be not used on the grounds that if became known to their superintendent that they had revealed these facts, they would lose their jobs or not be reelected. But in none of these letters has any fear of the State; l Board of Equalization of the State School Commission ever been expressed. In fact in many of these letters the teachers indicated that these State agencies were the friends and helpers of tKe teachrs. If th teachers are afraid of any* thing, they are afraid of their local superintendents and school boards, since they are the ones who elect the teachers. In most cases, the superin tendent. submits the list of teachers and the school board approves it in a more or less rubber stamp manner. So in most cities and counties the superintendent is the man who selects the teacners. Accordingly, a teacher (Continued on Page Four.)
