April 9.- George Ross Pou son of the lnte Congressman Edward \V Pou, who died a week ago yes terday in Washington, is a candidate for the Democratic nomination to suc ceed his father in Congress from the fourth district, he announced here thin afternoon. He is expected to post the SIOO fee and formally file with the State Board of Elections within the next few days. Pou has been in Washington for the last several days attending to business matters in con nection with his father’s estate and did not return here until this after noon. It has been expected from the first in political circles that Pou would, be- m m» a candidate for Congress In the fourth district, composed *f Chatham Franklin, Johnston. Nash, Randolph. Vane? and Wake counties. For it has hn»n generally known In political cir cle for years that the elder Pou wanted his son to succeed him in Ccngres3 and that his son wanted to do this. But it was hardly expected that the formal announcement of his candidacy would be issued ,'cy Pou be fore the middle of this week at the earliest. There is no doubt that the contest for the nomination in the fourth dis trict is going to be a battle royal, according to local political circles. Before Congressman Pou died, Pal nv'r Bailey, of Raleigh, a young law v<t who was formerly secretary to Senator Josian W. Bailey before he bourne senator, announced as a can didate. But ho has not been regarded 8t any time a S a major contender for the nomination. J. P.

General demand deposits December 30 were slightly more than $1,000,000 greater than on December 31. 1932. “Those figures are evidence that the public is using the banks, ’’ Mr. Hood said. Total deposits in banks last De cember of every kind aggregated ap proximately $173,475,000, compared with approximately $164,500,000 on ac count December 31, 1932.

HENDERSON, N. C. MONDAY, AFTERNOON, APRIL 9, 1934 Communist Killed In Dis orders as National Blue Shirts Open Head, quarters COMMUNISTS PLAN TO SEEK REVENGE Brussels Officials Fear Fur ther Trouble and Extra Precautions Are Taken To Presserve the Peace; Ten Communists, 15 National ists Hurt Brussels, Belgium. April 9.—(AP)— One person was slain and more than a score were injured in a week-end of violent political clashes, which threatened to break out anew in and near Brussels today. A communist was killed in rioting which broke out in connection r with the inaugural of Brussels headquar ters of the nationalist blue shirty. Clathes spread throughout scattered sections after clashes between the uniformed nationalists and bands of communists. . In Brussels ten communists and 13 nationalists were wounded and injur ed in hand-to-hand fighting. The riot ing then was carried into other lo calites. Fears that the fighting would be re newed led political officials to order extraordinary precautions throughout the capital today. Official apprehensions were height ened by a communist statement which warned the nationalists that plans were being made to avenge the death of their comrade. Nationalist headquarters were raid ed and sacked at Eckeren during a clash between blue shirts and social ists in which one socialist was wound ed seriously. Stock Mart Scores Big At Hearing Glass Amendment Upsets Plans of President and Reg ulation Proponents Washington, April 9.—(AP) — The New York Stock Exchange scored a smashing victory in the Senate Bank ing Committee today by a ten to eight vote to create a new commission to regulate the exchanges instead of giv ing jurisdiction to the Federal Re serve Board and the Federal Trade Commission. The committee adopted an amend ment to the stock market bill offered by Senator Glass, Democrat, of Vir ginia, upsetting plans of the bill’s au thors and President Roosevelt to have the exchanges regulated by the two existing governmental agencies; mm S MORE JtBERAUTY State Schools Commission Interpreted | Generously Certificates Held By Teachers CUTS UNDER 30 PCT. FOR MAN|f TEACHERS 1933 Law Provided for Adoption of New Salary Schedule for Teachers and Principals Based on Type of Certificate Held; Martin Explains Plaji Hnlly Iliwpfitcb Rnrpni In th** Sir Will ter Hnicl, TIV .». C RABKERVIU. Raleigh, April S|—The $300,000 to S4OO 000 by which -the actual payrol, for the public school teachers in the State will probably exceed the ori ginal estimates hats not come about through carelessness on the part of the State School Commission in esti mating salaries, but almost entirely as the result of its liberality, Leßoy Martin, executive secretary of the commission pointed out today in a statement prepared exclusively for the afternoon newspapers, e also again, asserted that every teacher will be paid in full, even if, the salary re quirements are $400,000 in excess of the original estimates, and regardless of whether Federal aid is obtained from the Emergency Relief Adminis tration or. not. As a result, the amount of the salary cut for school teachers will in many cases be less than the 30 per cent decreed by the 1933 Gen eral Assembly. The reason the salary pftyroll wil probably be between $300,000 and S4OO 000 more than was originally estimat ed is principally due to the fact tha> the School Commission decided to give all teachers credit for the entire number of years they had taught, re gardless of any intervening change in classification. Until- this year a teach er obtained her experience incremerjE only on the basis of the length of time he or she had been teaching under the certificate then in effect. Under this former system a teacher might have taught ten years under a B/grade certificate then have obtained an A-igrade certificate in which case she would not have re ceived any credit for the ten years teaching experience she had under the B-grade certificate. But this year the school commis sion decided that if experience was worth anything to a teacher it should be computed jn a continuous basis without any regard to the type of certificate held. As a result this year if a teacher has taught four years under a B-grade certificate and four years under an A-grade certificate, she is getting a salary based on eight years of teaching experience instead of only four, as would have been the case under the former system. As a result this A-grade teacher is this year getting a salary of S9O a month as compared with a salary of SIOO a month a year ago w.hich is a reduc tion of only 10 per cent instead ol 30 per cent. More A-Grade Teachers. Another factor that was not fore seen by the school commission, has been that more teachers with A-grade certificates were employed this year than ever before which with the ad ditional allowance for teaching expei (Continued on Page Four.)

Advices said the Negro escaped ,by hacksawing his way .through cell bars.

Jones was sent to the insane asy lum from State’s Prison here after Governor Ehringhaus had commuted his sentence of electrocution imposed on him for the murder of a filling station operator near here. The Negro, who started a career of crime by shooting a white boy when he was only 13 years of age, had been involved in a number of other crim inal ventures before he was sentenced to die. Several months ago he was charged by officials of the asylum with leading a revolt thajt resulted in /material damage to the institution’s buildings in which Jones and others were con fined, but nobody escaped.
