Raleigh, Dec. 13. —Adverse criticism of the Civil Wjorks Administration in North Carolina has arisen from mis understanding of the primary pur pose of the huge organization that is making jobs for moio than 80,000 per sons in this State, according to those here who are familiar with the ac tivities in the offices of Mrs. Thomas O Berry, State CWA administrator. The prime purpose of the CWA, as conceived by President Roosevelt and as executed by Mrs. O’Berry and her staff ,is to give jobs, therefore living wages, to the thousands of North Car olinians whose earning capacities and buying power have been wiped out during the past four years. Rather than hand out Federal appropriations in the form of a dole, the CWA was conceived to create projects to give men jobs. These are projects that arc worth while, but which could not have been undertaken otherwise because of the depleted treasuries of the many • Continued on Paee fhrep » Terse messages from coast guard crawt in the vicinity of Point Pinos to headquarters here told a story of a probable explosion aboard the stricken vessel last night and its apparent sink ing while ankry seas lashed about the rescue craft striving to bring aid.

Dec. 13. (AP) Presi dent Roosevelt is sticking to his ob jective for a worldwide reduction in tariff walls, but in view of interna tional conditions, he believes the best method in this direction now lies in the negotiations of hi lateral treaties with individual countries.

AUTO OWNERS LAG ON NEW LICENSES Many Branch Offices To Be Closed January 1 for Slack Business nt»|»a>ch in in** Sir Waller Hole!. «v i <; "OiKCIM'li ' Raleigh, Dec. 13.—Automobile own ers in the State are still lagging far behind in buying their new 1934 li cense plates, having purchased only about 28.000 to date during the first ten days they have been on sale, ac cording to Director L. S. Harris of the Motor Vehicle Division of the State Department of Revenue. The total automobile registration in the state is now about 408.000 so that the 28,000 licenses sold so far do not re present a very big dent in the total number that should be sold before January 1. Another reason car owners should buy their new licenses as soon as pos sible is that at least 25 of the branch offices will probably be closed Jan uary 1. making it necessary for those insect ions served by these offices to get their licenses by mail from the li cense bureau here in Raleigh, instead of locally, Harris pointed out. This will mean additional delay for those who fail to buy their new licenses before January 1. The towns and cities in which these branch offices will probably be closed after January 1. are: Albermarle, Asheboro. Brevard. Canton, Clinton, Edenton, Henderson, Hendersonville, Hickory, Laurinburg, ixmisburg, Lum berton, Manteo, Smithfield, Sylva. Tar boro, Wadesboro, Washington, War saw. West Jefferson Whiteville and Williamston. It is planned to keep all the other branch offices open for li cense sales throughout the year. Vir tually all of these offices are branch offices of the Carolina Motor Club. It was at first planned to maintain all these offices on a year round basis. But sales have been so light at the offices listed above that It has now virtually been decided to close them January 1. Consequently those in the territory served by these offices are urged to buy their licenses before the close of the license period December 31, unless they want to be subjected to delay in getting their licenses and run the risk of being arrested if they try to use the old ones. 16-Year-01d Boys Sent Into Bolivian Trenches In South American War Stricken Admiral * Rear Admiral Grayson Seriously ill at his home in Wash ington, Rear Admiral Cary T.

(Central Press) COMMUNICATIONS MAYBE MERGEO Monopoly With Strict Gov. eminent Regulation Is Being Considered Washington, Dec. 13.—(AP)- The administration is making an intensive study of the communications prob lem, with preliminary reports tending toward the creation of merged tele phone, telegraph and radio agencies under strict government regulation. A special committee of the Depart ment of Commerce has submitted a tentative report to the President, who is reserving an opinion pending fur ther study by the congressional com mittees involved. 1. A continuation of existing con ditions. 2. Creation of monopolies in the tele phone, telegraph and radio fields un der strict regulations. 3. Government ownership of com munications.

Dec. 13.—(AP)—Presi dent Roosevelt will continue the Civil Works Administration until next spring, but in his study of the budget lie has not reached a decision on the extent of public works to be proposed for next year.

It was stated emphatically today at the White House that there is no dis pute or row between the President, tho director of the budget and the Trear sury on the budget. Many Sign Contracts On Tobacco Flue-Cured Growers Expected To Co operate Virtually One Hundred Pet. College Station, Raleigh, Dec. 13. —• Flue-cured tobacco growers in North Carolina arc responding this week to Inc AAA acreage reduction program by signing contracts in large numbers, according to E. Y. Floyd, tobacco spe cialist of State College extension ser vice. Mr. Floyd said that he has good reason to believe that practically all of the State’s flue-cured tobacco acre age, with tne exception of small pat ches of weed for home consumption, will be covered by contract before the sign-up campaign is closed. Farm agents in the 57 flue-cured to bacco counties have held county and community for the instruction of com mitteemen and growers about how to prepare the contracts and in the ad vantages which will come to those growers who join the AAA reduc tion program, and now the sign-up , rv»ritln»i*d on Pago Threw ’ tember 24 near Deep Gap, when a man came from behind a tree and said: “Halt, don’t go any further; go back.” “W(ho?” Buchanan said Price aaked. “All of you,” the witness quoted the man who had stopped them as re plying. Before they had time to turn, Buchanan continued, Dewey Potter came from behind a tree and fired, hitting Price. The witness said he did not recognize the men who did the shooting.
