(AP) i Providing President Roosevelt ap ! proves, Federal employees will have j a third of the 15 percent that was cut from their pay restored as of last Feb ruary 1 and a second third restored July 1. The Senate so decided today in vot i ing before returning to the veterans j compensation question to yield to the House instead of insisting on restora tion of the entire amount that was cut. Whether the President, will sign the ■ hill still is uncertain, however, oe pending on what shaiw the veterans | jrovisions are in when it finally reaches him. Free of the veterans’ dispute for the time, the House put more time on the hill to grant the President wide tariff bargaining powers. The debate ran albout as expected admin istrationists in favor, Republicans against. Now that the automobile strike threat has been dissipated by presi dential action, the, Wagner La'boi Board will become more the focus of controversy, with the manufacturing world denouncing it as "unsound.” On many tongues, as the Senate ana House proper deal with other mat ters, was the question what effect will terms of the Roosevelt automo bile settlement have on the Wagner bill? Tho legislation would outlaw com pany unions. Such unions arc acknow ledged as regular under the plan ac cepted by the principals to the quar rel in the motor industry. The air mail bill, regularizing army flying of the mails temporarily, now goes to the President. The legislation listing cattle and other goods as basic commodities un der the farm act, has yet to be actea on finally by the Senate before reacti ing the White House.

Raleigh, March 26.—While some of the school superintendents, principals and teachers here attending the an nual convention of the North Carolina Education Association were strongly in favor of Federal aid for the pu;i> lic schools in the State, others were fearful that it might not be such a good thing after all, according to com ment heard from various groups. If the superintendents and teachers could feel sure that the amount of the State appropriation for schools would not be reduced if the govern ment should decide to aid the schools, they would all be in favor of govern ment aid, of course. But a good many of the more conservative thinkers among the teachers, especially those who know something about State po litics and legislatures, are afraid that if the State should get several million dollars a year from the Federal gov evrnment for assisting in the support ol the public schools, that, instead of being able to add this to what the State has formerly been appropriating the legislature would reduce the State appropriation by the amount of the Federal grant. "If we could feel sure that the State would continue to appropriate as much as ever for public schools and that whatever should ;be received from the Federal government could be used to supplement the State ap propriation, we would be unanimous i Continued on ”aes Two.)
