SeeßeSlp { Contest for 1935 House Al ready Is Warming Up Considerably LUMPKIN IN RUNNING Franklin County Legislator Aspires to Presiding Office; Laurie Mc- Eachern, of Hoke, Also Wants To Be Speaker Daily Dlapnfeli Bnrean In the Sir Walter Hotel. BY J. C. nASKICnVIU. Raleigh, June B.—The contest tor the speakership of the House of Rep resentatives in the 1935 General As sembly is already under way. Pres ent indications are that it will be a three-corner contest between Robert Grady Johnson, of Pender County; aurie McEachern, og Hoke County; and W|. L. Lumpkin, of Franklin County, as the result of the defeat of O. B. Moss, of Nash, who would have been a candidate haa «e been nominated and elected. Other candi dates will undoubtedly gai, Into the race before the General Assembly meets next January. Bi*t most ob servers here agree that the main con test will be between these three. All three were here this week looking over the situation *and trying to find out just who had been nominated to the House. Some observers believe that Johnson is already in the lead in the race, in asmuch as he is reported to have had a majority of the members of the 1933 House pledged to support him for speaker in 1935, and because he is ex pected to have the support of his kins man, State Treasurer Charles M. Johnson, conceded to be politically potent in a great many sections of the State. There is no doubt that Johnson has some excellent backing and that he is going to make a strong run for the speakership. But the fact that apparently not more than 30 members of the House in the 1933 General Assembly will return to the 1935 House is regarded by many as having considerably reduced John son’s chances and to indicate that it is anybody’s race, and that the candi date who can contact the n*w mem bers first and get their support will be the next speaker. Johnson was a member of the 1929 Senate and served in the 1931 and 1933 houses. He is a lawyer. McEachern, the long, lanky Scots man from Hoke, who served in the House ’in the 1931 and 1933 sessions, and who is a farmer and not a lawyer, is expected by most observers here to put up a strong fight for the speaker ship. In fact, the main contest is expected to be between Johnson and McEachern although Lumpkin may de velop much strength later than he now seems to have. McEachern is ex* ■«AonMmifxl on Puce Thrsa.l The report, wirelessed to Pan-Ame rican Airways byway of its airport in Salvador, which escaped damage, said) many large buildings in the cap ital were partially demolished.

ONLY DAILY LE * SBD WIRB SERVICE OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS* NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF Will Have Nothing To Do With Accord of League of Nations, Tokyo Announces NOT SELLING ARMS HOWEVER, IS CLAIM Negotiations Under Way From London to Line Up Germany and Rusisa in Outside Agreement for Embargo; United States Has Already Stopped Sales Tokyo, June 8 (AP)—Japan, which departed Geneva in anger last year, tersely made known today she would not join the League of Nations-spon sored arms embargo against Paraguay and Bolivia. “Since Japan seceded from the Lea gue of Nations,” a foreign office spok esman said, "she has been following the principle that she is in no way concerned with the League’s political affairs.” This reply to the League’s invita tion to join the embargo probably will be made orally by Consul-General Yokoysma at Geneva. Japan, the spokesman said, 1b not selling arms to either of the South American belligerents. Negotiations have been opened in London for an arms embargo inde pendent of the League. The object is to secure participation of Ger many, Russia and Japan, non-League members. 't'he United States, a fourth large power which does not belong to the League, has already put an embargo into effect. Germany, it was under stood, is ready to join the plan, and exchanges are under way with Rus sia and Japan. Committee Would Contact Legislative Members After Session Ends Dally Dispatch Rnrcna In the Sir. Walter Hotel. HY .T r QASKERVILL. Raleigh, June B.—Members of the General Assembly are in members of the board of directors for the State - of North Carolina and charg edw ith formulating the policies for its operation, just as boards of direc tors of large corporations devise their policies. They are also eleoted for a period of two years and hold the re sponsibility for two years even though they meet in actual session only from 60 days to fibe months each two years. But most of them feel they have dis charged their responsibility as soon as they have completed the legislative session and feel no further respon sibility, according to Capus M. Way nick, of High Point, a member of the 1931 and 1933 General Assemblies and high man for the Democratic nomina tion to the 1935 State Senate from Guilford county. “There is a crying need for some thing to keep the members of the General Assembly alive to the fact that event hough they meet in legis lative session only a few months every two years, that they are members of the General Assembly, or the State’s board of directors, for the entire two years and have a definite responsibil ity throughout this entire period”, Way pick said today. “The members of the General Assembly should have some way to follow up the work they do in legislative sessions and keep in touch with the results of the laws they pass for the entire two years. Fos they pass the lass. They should also study the effect of these laws, try to learn their weaknesses and defects and then make some recommendations to the next succeeding General As sembly to correct their mistakes or strengthen the acts that have found to be beneficial”. As a result of this conviction, Way nick expects to introdcce a bill in the 1935 session, provided he is returned to the Senate, to set up a permanent ed interim committee, composed cf memlbers from both the Senate and House, to carry on a continuous study of the work of each legislatibe ses sion after it has adjourned, to observe the results and effects of the legislar HENDERSON, N.
