Raleigh, March lt>—Departmental clerks are watching for the next des cent of the reorganization axe, parti cularly in the revenue department which felt the first clerical cut yes terday when field supervisor of the income tax division James R. Collie, went out and Charles H. England came in. The importance of the change ex ists quite apart from the personali ties themselves. Mr. Collie has, of course, been prominent 25 years in State politics. He was for some con gresses secretary to the committee of which Edward W. Pou, of the fourth district, was chairman. Then Governor T. W. Bickett made him superintendent of the State’s Prison. When he went out and Governor Cam eron Morrison’s succession included E. F. Cullock and George Ross Uou, the Collie administration showed a surplus of $183,000. That was the 7ast profit that the prison has ever been able ta show. Bookkeepers and accountants disputed somewhat over the actual monetary gains of that in terregnum, but Mr. Collie was blessed with good farming years. The Jule Mann and Joe Laughinghouse admin istration likewise had good fortune, so good in fact that in Craig’s out going year the prison paid a bonus of $lO each to the time-servers. Mr. Collie then came to the revenue office with Col. A. D. Watts, who was made commissioner.

March 16. —(AP) General Hugh S. Johnson, standing in, the breech left 'by a National La bor Board that conceded itself power less, sought a pact between labor ana automobile executives today to ward off a threatenea strike in motordom. Resolved that the automobile indus try must not be tied up at this staga, the NRA administrator redoubled ef forts to sell the top executives of the giant concerns on a program to avert the strike. He tentatively outlined two plans. 1. Elections to determine the strength of American Federation of Labor unions and works councils, or company unions, in each plant, witn out disclosing to the employers tins affiliation of each worker. 2. An impartial grievance board to hear complaints of men who say they were fired or discriminated against for union activity. A fear that a great strike at this time might samstring the Roosevelt recovery drive drove negotiators on. A hundred lenders of organized la bor stood by and waited.

(AP) —The administration’s proposed legislation for restoration of air mail to private contractors was attacked as “unfair" today by Charles A. Lindbergh.
