Jan. 24 -Congress will not be asked to create a Federal highway patrol force in North Carolina, nor is there much likelihood that any bill proposing that automobile license fees be cut to $5 will reach the floor of eihter house, as a result of the ac tion taken by the joint Senate and House Committees on Roads Wednes day afternoon. The committee was in no mood to consider favorably any bill that might reduce the amount of State highway revenue, and killed five or six bills with virtually no discussion, ordering them reported unfavorably. Among these were the three bills in troduced by Repesentative Douglass of Wake, providing for a Federal high way patrol, for Federal regulation of traffic in interstate commerce on the (Continued on Page Four) SUDAN TEMPLE WILL MEET IN GOLDSBORO New Bern, Jan. 24 (AP) —Charles IJ.

Cabinet Shake-Up For Italy Made By Premier Mussolini Rome, Jan. 24. —(AP) —Premier Mussolini today ordered a com plete cabinet sbake-np. The change in government offi cials involved six portfolics, that of finance, education, public works, communications, justice and agriculture. These six cabinet posts are the only ones which Premier Mus solini does not hold himself. There are 13 portfolios in the Italian cabinet and II Duce is chief of seven of them. Jung was replaced as minister of finance by Admiral Thaon de Regel, at present mayor of Turin Maria de Vecchi, the Italian am bassador to the Holy See, was made minister of education, re- the United States.” Then, referring more directly to the move for legislative allocation of the public projects fund, the President said: “As I have already stated, it is only because of the current emergency of unemployment' and because of the physical impossibility of surveying, weighing and testing each and every project that a segregation of items Is clearly impossible at this time.” INCOME COLLECTORS 10 CAUSE TROUBLE They May Try To Bull-Doze Little Fellows Into Over- Paying By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer' Washington, Jan. 24. —Folk with in comes of just about taxable propor tions (a little below the limit or a little above it) reasonably may expect trouble with their local internal re venue colectors this year. They may expect it because the Treasury Department plans an un precedentedly vigorous drive in the interest of a handsome showing, as an offset against huge Federal ex penditures. And the small fry of tax ables are easier to squeeze effective* ly than the big fellows. The individual whose income runs into fancy figures has his tax return made out for him by an expert. If it is questioned, he nevertheless is fairly confident that it is attackproof. He has a first-class lawyer to de fend it, anyway. The average citizen, who reckons that, though he has a “taxable gross,” he has no “taxable net” after sub tracting his exemptions, or who, while recognizing that he has a “taxable net,” calculates it at something less than, for example, SIOO, by no means is so sure of himself In making out his return he has no expert counsel (Conti mind on Page Three) Chahar Disputes In China Settled, Nanking Is Told Nanking, China, Jan. 24i, —(AP) — The Chinese National government military headquarters was informed today that the Chahra dispute had been settled.
