BY J. C. BASKEHVILL Raleigh, April 24. —With the num ber of persons killed and injured in automobile accidents increasing al most every month, and with the cost of automobile liability insurance in creasing every year to the large num ber of accidents in the State, a grow ing sentiment in favor of a State drivers’ license law and of a larger and more adequate highway patrol is being noticed here. As a result, it is already agreed that the i 935 General Assembly will be asked to enact a strict drivers’ license law, also to in crease the patrol to provide for more adequate enforcement of the highway laws. In March, ( persons were killed and 358 injured in 301 automofone acci dents, the largest number killed and injured in March since the Motor Vehicle Bureau started keeping acci dent statistics. In March 1933, 56 were killed and 338 injured, while in March 1932, only 45 were killed. In 1933. a total of 852 persons were killed, and 5,193 injured in 3,435 accidents. Tnese figures are beginning to make the public generally, as well as automobile owners sit up and take notice. In addition, the automobile owners are complaining at the high cost of liability insurance while the liability insurance companies are m turn asking the Commissioner of In surance permission to increase their rates, already among the highest of any State in the country. Commis sioner Dan C. Boney, of the Insurance Department, recently refused to grant another application for higher rates made by the insurance companies, but served warning that if something was not done to reduce the number of au tomobile accidents that he would be compelled to permit the companies to Increase their rates next year. As a result, the insurance companies have at least joined hands with the public in seeking more adequate laws, especially a State driver’s license law iCrnf.inued on Page Two) WEATHER FOB NORTH CAROLINA.

Mercer, Wis., April 24 (AP) — Through the wooded wilds of the north country, freshly white with snow, an army of determined men hunted big igame today—John Dil linger. Crafty as a fox and reckless as a wolf that sometimes prowls the brush snarled timberlands of northern Wis consin, the gunman from Indiana con tinued to elude one of the most exten sive manhunts the northlands ever* have known. "Dillinger luck” was holding; but the feeling was strong among the hunt ers that John Dillinger—cop killer, bank robber, highwayman and jail fugitive—was very close to his last stand. The government had nearly 100 picked men on the job. Some of them were drafted from points as distant as Philadelphia and Washington. Many airplanes dropped from the skies bringing reinforcements. The Department of Justice men were under orders to shoot to kill. The sentiment was openly expressed that Dillinger dead would be more de sirable to the law forces than Dilling er alive.

Thus far no evidence has developed in Tokyo that the United States would follow Great Britain’s lead. The As sociated Press learned that the State Department has not acted in that di rection. Great Britain’s demand—which did not reach the foreign office, although foreign office officials were inform ed of it by newspapers—gave Koki Hirota, the foreign minister, the task of explaining his policy in such away as to appease, Britain’s suspicions and simultaneously avoid the retrac tion of any essential feature of the statement, in which the world was warned not to meddle with internal Chinese affairs.
