The governor’s budget message, together with the budget appro priations and revenue bills, are ready to be submitted when the houses convene simultaneously to night after the week-end recess, but it was likely the law.makers will not get them until tomorrow, pending further organization of the assembly. Daily Disiintvh Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh. Jan. 14.—The 1935 session of, the North Carolina General As sembly will get down to work in earnest this week. Most of the four day meeting last week was taken up with the details preliminary to or ganization. Committee assignments, which ordinarily would have beer, made last week, will not be made until tonight when the legislature meets again. The reason iback of the delay in committee reports is, of course, the unprecedented number of new members in both houses.

Between the two legislative cham bers, the Supreme Court, in judicial calm, again held the major interest attracted when it ruled Federal ail regulation invalid and intenified dur ing arguments for and against con stitutionality of the administration’s monetary policies. The court recessed without acting on tlie effort of Thomas J. Mooney to obtain ar eview of his conviction for complicity in the ,1916 San Fran cisco preparedness day bombing. But speculation continued throughout Washington on how the nine black robbed justices will view the govern ment’s action in passing gold pay ments. Both Senate and House gave them selves to routine business prior to receiving later this week President Roosevelt's message on social security and his plans for providing aid to the aged and unemployed. Senator Bailey, Democrat, North Carolina, telegraphed a request to hold up action on Frank R, McNinch, of that State, a chairman of the Pow. er Commission, until he arrives in Washington.

BYRNS SHOWS FINE ABILITYMADER Even Outsmarted Adminis tration, Which Didn’t Want Him as Speaker By CHARLES P. STEWART Washington, Jan. 14 Speaker Joseph W. Byrns of the National House of Representatives, whose party today has the largest majority on Capitol Hill that either major party has been able to boast of since Civil War times (and then it was a Repub lican majority), can remember when (rather recently, too) Aunty Demo cracy appeared to be nearly as mori bun das the G. O. P. appears to be at the present writing. The Tennesseean (“Joe" Byrns, as all Washington refers to him, not dis respectfully but affectionately, hails from Nashville) was chairman of the ! Jeffersonian congressional campaign committee in 1928, the year of the Hoover landslide. Not only was the party beaten; it was split wide open every which way —sectionally, economically, religious ly, wet-and-dryly, and in various oth er different directions. /Chairman (as he was then) Byrns never did admit that the Democratic party was on the eve of breaking up completely, but he certainly did ap rive in Washington, for the 1928-’29 session of Congress, in a somewhat despondent frame of mind. “The trouble is,” he told me, “that we Democrats have principles which (Continued on Page Three) WEATHER FOB NORTH CAROLINA.

J., Jan. 14 (AP) A Bronx dress model today identified Bruno Richard Hauptmann as a man she saw shadowing Dr. John F. (Jaf sie) Condon before he paid the $50,000 Lindbergh ransom. A handwriting expert declared hand writing evidence against the German carpenter was "irresistible, unans werable and overwhelming,” and a second expert added the weight of his own opinion to this testimony. Miss Hildegarde Olga Alexander the dress model, said she saw Dr. Con don on a night in March, 1932, in a telegraph station, and another man behind him, “obviously watching him.” “I say the man was Bruno Richard Hauptmann,” she said. The girl was the second witness of the day in Hauptmann’s trial, in which he is charged with the kidnap ing and murdering of Baby Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. The defense sought to break down her identification, the defense chief, Edward J. Reilly, charging: “I want to prove that she was never there,” he said. Nevertheless, she left the stand still insisting that Hauptmann was the man she saw. She said she also saw him on the street a few days after the incident in the telegraph station. Hauptmann turned red when she spoke his name. Mrs. Anna Haupt mann, wife of the accused man, paled; Eld ridge W. Stein, second of the State’s battery of handwriting Ex perts, had sufficient time before' dhi; noon recess to declare it his opinion that Hauptmann wrote every one of the 14 ransom notes received by Col onel Charles A.
