' -- BIGGEST FIGHT IN TO BE OVER ROADS < Question of Diversion of Large Blocks of Highway Money Will Be Pressed Hard FACTIONS WAITING ELECTION RESULTS They Will Then Begin Coer cion on Successful Candi dates for Favorite Plans; Schools Principal Contend er for Money, and From Road Funds Oajl.v I'lMimfch Unrrav, lli<- Sir WuHer Hotel, •J* J. i;, Uawkcrvllli;, Raleigh, Nov. 3 The biggest battle in the next session of the General As sembly, which convenes the first week in January, is expected to be to cen ter around the highway fund, the question of the diversion of any of this fund to other than highway pur poses and the question of highway taxes in general, according to those here who are keeping their ears to the ground in an effort to learn just what is going to happen when the new legislature meets. For the past few weeks things have been pretty quiet, since the various tactions interested in the highway fund, have been waiting until after the election Tuesday to know for sure who have been elected to the General Assembly before opening up their activities. But they have been quietly at work for months, accord ing to reliable reports heard here, and are expected to open up an inten sive campaign as soon as the ballots have been counted Tuesday night to feel out the various senators and rep resentatives before they get in ses sion. This is regarded as being espe cially true for the forces that want to divert anywhere from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 from the highway fund into the general fund to be used for gen eral state purposes. Indications already joint to the most determined fight ever yet made in any session of the legislature for diversion of a large chunk of the highway fund, with the school forces leading the light for this diversion. In the re cent district meetings of the North Carolina Education Association, the various speakers have set up as their goal an appropriation of $25,000,000 a year for schools, an increase of $9,- 000,000 in excess of the present appro priation for schools. In order to get this amount, or anywhere near it, it is agreed that from $3,000,000 to $5,- 000,000 a year will have to be diverted from the highway fund into the gen eral fund that the school forces are going to actively support such a pro gram in the coming General Assem bly. They have already adopted the slogan And with 23.000 school teach ers, 100 county superintendents and almost as many city superintendents and 100,000 members of Parent-Teach er Associations as their allies, there is no getting away from the fact that they can expert powerful pressure on the legislature. They managed to get the 1933 legislature to divert SI,OOO -a year from th ehighway fund to the general fund. They are now hop ing to increase this to at least $3.- (Continued on Page Five) WEATHER FOR NORTH CAROLINA Occasional rain tonight and Sunday; warmer tonight and m east portion Sunday; solder Sun day night. and in west portion in afternoon.
