' Central Brets) New Building In South $500,000,000 For 1934, Or Highest Since 1931 Baltimore.

Although contract awards fell off in December, the total of $509,874,000 for the entire year was 34 percent “SEDITION" REPORT I ITO BE SENSATION Congressional Findings Due This Month; Deals With “Plots” Ky CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Jan. B.—A bloodcurd ling report from Chairman John W. McCormack’s congressional commit mittee on investigation of un-Ameri can activities is assured -by about the middle of January. It may seem as if the national law makers should have a sufficient sense of humor not to take this prospective thriller over-seriously. Still, there is no telling. For one thing, it is a foregone con clusion that the committee’s story will be so told as to appeal equally to ul tra-conservatives and ultra-liberals. On the one hand, a legislator like Representative Hamilton Fish, Jr., who, in all sincerity, favor quarantin ing all communistic believers on an otherwise uninhabited island, prob ably will not be hard to convince of the accuracy of Walter S. Steele’s ac count of a radical plot to abduct the President and set up a Soviet regime in Washington. On the opposite hand, such a solon as Senator Burton K. Wheeler, who frankly has expressed his opinion that reactionaries want a dictatorship as soon as they think they can “get away with it,” will beu nlikely to strain at swallowing Gen. Smedley D. Butler’s version of an attempt to en list him to lead a Fascist brmy on the capital, to grab the government.

Professor Will Fight Sales Tax Daily Disp.-itcli llnrnu, la the Sir Walter Hotel, Br J- O, liankerville. Raleigh, Jan. B—-One of the best known of the new members of the House, and one who is probably at tracting more attention from both new and old members, is Dr. Ralph W. McDonald, of Forsyth county, the former Salem College professor who gave up professoring to become a law maker for a while. The principal reason for the inter est being shown in Dr. McDonald here, however, is believed to be the fact that he has been selected to lead the fight against the sales tax in the House and the report that he has al ready written a bill said to be cap able of yielding more revenue than the sales tax and which, if enacted, (Continued oil Page Four) Was All Mistake, Farley Says About Stamp Incidents Washington, Jan. 8 (AP)—lt was all a mistake.” That was the explanation made today by Postmaster General Farley in answer to complaints of the Norfolk, Va..

The three candidates are Representatives Robert Grady Johnson, of Pender county; Laurrie McEachern, of Hoke, and Willie Lee Lumpkin, of Franklin. Each of the three, is of course, claiming victory. It would be had politics and disastrous campaign po licy to do otherwise. Some observers here believe the~contest will be much closer than now seems evident and that any one of the three may be: elected speaker. Most observers, however, are pre dicting the eventual election of John son as speaker, and that he will also 'have the lead in the first ballot. Some of his most enthusiastic supporters maintain that he will he able to get a majority and thus be elected on the first ballot, on the basis of the number of votes which are already pledged to him. But those who have been checking the claims of the three candidates are agreed that if all three have all the votes they claim, there will have to be between 126 and 135 vo.es in the caucus instead of only 105. In other words, it is evident that (Continued on Page Four) Can’t Learn Who Pays Prosecution Os Silver Shirts Asheville, Jan.
