Raleigh, March 9.—'While 90 per cent of the doctors in the State hand ling workmen’s compensation cases are contiuing to submit bills based on the fee scale set up by the Industrial Commission and get their bills ap proved, about 10 per cent of the doc tors who think this fee scale too low and who for several years have been trying to compel the commission to pay higher fees are still stirred up and doing everything possible in an effort to build a fire under the com mission, it was learned here today. They are being as quiet about it in public as possible, But under the sur face many of the doctors are boiling mad, despite the fact that since the Industrial Commission was set up they have received more than $2,000,000 in fees, or half as much as has been paid ONLY DAILY FEDERAL AID ROAD WORK IN STATE IS 1 OVERRALE BEGUN Jeffress Denies Reports from Washington of Lagging Here In Start ing Projects OVER FIVE MILLION DOLLARS LAUNCHED Nearly That Much More Money Available for Work, Much of Which Is Tied Up In Washington Awaiting Approval; Weather Still Another Factor Dully Uaret'B In (hr Sic Walter Hotel. H V J. C. MASK i ;II V | |,|, llaleigh. March 9. The -highway and sit eel. building program in North Carolina made possible by the allot ment from the Public Works Admin istration last, year of $9,522,294 and the unexpended balance from regular Federal aid amounting to 59,500. mak ing a total of $10,546,580, is more than half under way at the present time. Chairman E. B. Jeffress, of the State Highway and Public Works Com mission, said today. Plans and specifi cations for all of the remaining pro jects have either been submitted to Washington for approval or are ready to submit, so that contracts can be let and construction started as soon as the necessary “go ahead” signal is received from the Bureau of Public Roads in Washington. To date, contracts for new construe , tion amounting to a total of $5,562.30' have already been let, which figure includes the letting of February 27, when additional contracts amounting to $449,7.00 were let. Jeffress pointed out. This leaves a total of $4,984,280 still to be expended out of the original total of $10,546,58 and which will be spent as soon as the government ap proves projects already prepared and contracts let. “Some reports from Washington re cently have given the impression that North Carolina has been lagging be hind the other states iu the expendi ture of its portion of the national re covery highway fund, but it is not because any lagging behind on oui part, Jeffress said. “For we have con stantly had many more projects in Washington waiting for approval than they have approved, with the result that we could not call for contracts on these projects until approval was r<-~ ceived. We are hoping to get another batch of projects approved by tomot row or Monday, so we can call an other letting as soon as possible.” There have been several reasons why the highway construction pro gram has gotten under way rather slowly in this State and why Wasn ington has been slow in approving pro jects. Jeffress pointed out. One »& that Washington has been literally swamped with projects from all of the 48 states, and the red tape necessary to their approval. In recent months some of this red tape has been eli minated. but it is still necessary to have every project approved three times in Washington before construc tion can ibe started. Still another factor is the provision that only 50 per cent of the allot ment may he spent on regular Fed eral Aid highways outside of muni cipalities, that, 25 per cent must be spent on secondary state or county roads that are “reeder” roads to the Federal Aid system and that 25 per cent must be spent inside munici palities in improving or rebuilding streets traversed by Federal aid high ways. This last requirement alone made it necessary for the State High way Commission to make hundreds ol new surveys in cities and towns that, it otherwise would not have had to - •ntlii<J>'d om Pag* Bix> out in compensation to injured work men. The thing that set off the firecrack er among the disgruntled doctors late ly was the incident in Winston-Salem recently when the two hospitals there and five doctors served notice on tne Industrial Commission here that they would do no more work for the com mission and handle no more compenr sation cases unless thoe emmission would agree to pay a scale of fees which they set up. This scale of fees was twice the average fee being paid by the* commission now and four times the fee for which the doctors of the State agreed to handle CWA compensation cases. The Industrial Commission made public all the facts in the case, which showed that the bills submitted by the Winston-Salem hospitals and doctors had been re (Continued on Page Four.)

I PRM CHARGE Grand Jury in Wake Gets Little Information from Them, However Dally Dispatch llurean. In the Sir Walter Hotel. 11l J. C, UASKERVILL. Raleigh, March 9.—The Wake coun ty grand jury is still probing charges made by two Baptist ministers in Ra leigh that bootlegging and vice are rampant in this city, and that the city is “ruled by five men” who control the so-called "underworld” here. The two ministers are Dr. J. Powell Tucker, pastor of the First Baptist church, and Dr. E. McNeil Poteat, pastor of the Pullen Memorial Baptisr church. Dr. Tucker was called before the grand jury Wednesday, but Dr. Poteat has not yet appeared before it, apparently because he is out of town and will not be back in the city until tonight or Saturday. It is understood that the grand jury expects to call him before it as soon as he returns. Dr. Tucker started the series of pulpit attacks upon bootlegging and liquor selling in Raleieh several weeks ago and declared that “booze is king in Raleigh,” Dr. Poteat then took up the crusade in a sermon about two weeks ago, declared that bootlegging, vice and crime were rampant in the city and that there were speakeasies and bawdy houses operating within two blocks of four of the downtown churches. He also said that he was reliably informed that Raleigh was ruled “by five men” who were on the surface apparently respectable citizens but who were the overlords of tbs “underworld” here. When Dr. Poteat was questioned dy Chief of Police Clarence Barbour, who had assured botn him and Dr. Tuckei that the police department was anv ious and willing to do anything it could to correct the conditions they charged existed, he said that all he knew was what Dr. Tucker had tolo (Continued from Page Six.?

Big Fax Measure Enacted Into Law In Virginia House Richmond, Va., March 9.—(AP)— The administration's 1211,999 tax bill received final legislative ap proval today when the House con curred in the single amendment added in the Senate.

Chairman Pittman, or the foreign relations committee, presented an army engineer’s report that the giant waterway would do no harm to the Mississippi inland waterway system. Opponents of his cause showed no sign of (being convinced, however. Other legislation already waiting its turn became more crowded, mean while, the Philippine independence bill being approved by the Senate ter ritories Committee, as it had previous ly been on the House side. Quick adjournment of the Senate blocked a prospective Republican at tack on army flying of the mail. “Another army flier has just been killed,” said Representative Edith Norse Rogers, seeking consideration of a resolution of discontinuance o. this army task. Speaker Rainey would not recognize her, and soon thereafter the body was adjourned. t : Majority Leader Byrns expressed the view to reporters that the House “in its present mood” would be unable to agree upon a compromise op vet erans compensation acceptable to the President.

Peanut Tax No w Talked By Senate Bailey Expresses Hope Crop Will Be Placed in Category With Others * Washington, March 9. —(AP) — Should peanuts be eventually classed a basic commodity under the agri cultural act, this would not mean necessarily that a processing tax would be levied on that commodity. •Senators Bailey, Democrat, North Carolina, and Byrd, Democrat, Vir ginia, both emphasized thax tfie o ject of the measure was to prevent land (being taken out of cotton and tobacco being planted to peanuts. Bailey expressed the hope peanuts would be placed in the same category with other basic crops, with a view to “restoring parity prices by means of an appropriate processing tax on pea nuts.” ' . :il]
