Daily Dispatch It tir In the Sir Walter Hotel. BV P. PASKP.ItVIM,. Raleigh, Feb. 26.—Conceding that the outlook for the passage of the Hill liquor stores bill is not bright as long as the Statewide referendum feature is left in the bill, indications now are U}at Senate Judiciary Com mittee Number 2. which is now con sidering the hill, will make several changes in it to make it more ac ceptable to the members of the sen ate and House who are afraid of the referendum provision. It is also un derstood that. Senator John Sprunt Hill of Durham, author and introduc- ! er of the bill, is entirely willing to have these changes made. Some of the suggested changes in the bill now being contemplated are as follows: 1. To eliminate the Statewide re ferendum provision and substitute for it the county local option plan, so that no liquor store could be opened in any county, city or town until the location of such a store has been ap proved by a majority vote in the re spective subdivisions. 2. To make the hill provide that on ly those counties which voted a ma jority for repeal in the 1933 repeal (Continued on Page Threet Otithiw Barrow’s Relatives Given Court Sentences Dallas, Texas, Fei*. 26 (AP) A fed * ial court jury tof lay convicted 15 re latives and friends of the slain out law couple, Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, on a charge of conspiracy to harbor fugitives from justice.

S. Can’t Sell Abroad If It Buys Nothing. By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Feb. 26.—Dr. Mordecai Ezekiel’s thesis that Arperica must regain its old-time export trade, and improve on it also, or scale its whole economic standard downward, opens up the. entire question of import tax ation—that is to say, the protective, tariff system. Under former conditions import levies were, in part, a means of rais ing- revenue; in part they served to keep the prices of imported goods at a high level in this country thus handicapping them, in competition with domestic goods. Finally, however, they have been boosted to such a point that they prac tically have extinguished importation, consequently they yield comparatively litlte revenue. It is fair to leave them out of consideration, then, as an im portant. revenue-producing source for t.he federal government.. The fact remains that they con tinue to protect American producers against foreign competition. SWAPPING NECESSARY The difficulty is that, in keeping foreign goods out, they are keeping American goods in. International trade is a matter of swapping com modities. If we have stuff to swap.

REPEALISTS SCORE Meantime, Alabama Voters Ballot Today on Three Forms of Prohibition Law Changes STATE MONOPOLIES IN WEST VIRGINIA Rival Liquor Measures Pass ed in Arkansas Legislature, While Constitutional Amendment Is Proposed In Texas; South Carolina Considers Plan (By the Associated Press.) Repealists chalked up victories in four states today while Alabama de cided what to do with its 30-year-old dry laws. . , Three questions, including modifica tion of present laws, manufacture and sale of beer and witie ana the manu facture and sale of hard liquor, were before the Alabama electorate. A vote of more than 175,000 was indicated. Governor H. G. Jump, of West Vir ginia, last night signed that State’s liquor control bill, creating a State monopoly, effective March 1. Rival liquor legalization measures were passed by the Arkansas House and Senate. Both propose package liquor sales hut are different in many ways. The Texas State Senate committee on constitutional amendments approv ed a proposed constitutional amend ment to eliminate Texas’ 16-year-old prohibition clause. The amendment would authorize the legislature to re gulate the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor. The Georgia House late yesterday approved a bill providing for a refer endum and local option. It was sent to the Senate. The South Carolina Senate tomor row will take up the a State control measure, a committee substitute for the county control bill passed by the House early in the session.

Dr. Prof. McDonald, au thor of the substitute tax plan de signed to replace the sales tax, agreed with the commissioner’s figures, but pointed out that only State, and not state and local, taxes were presented in the picture. “A combination of State and local taxes paid in other states,” said Dr. McDonald,” will sho;y that North Car olina’s total tax rate is substantially lower than the average for all states.” Figures were not available by which the contention could be proven, but McDonald said that in Virginia the property tax rate is about one and one-half times as great as in this State.

Feb. 26—(AP)—The Sen ate Judiciary Committee No. 2 today voted to report the Hill liquor store* bill to the Senate “without prejudice.’’ The measure was considered in an executive session of the committee, and it was not revealed how the in dividual senators stood. It was learned that four members of the committee voted for an un- ’ favorable report on the bill. There are I t members on the committee besides its chairman, Senator Horton, of Chatham. The report of the liquor bill held the spotlight in committee circles. A “without prejudice” report is given by committees to bills which the members feel should be argued and considered from every angle bv the entile membership of the Senate rath er than by a small group. A number of other committees met this morning and reported various measures. Liquor, prohibition, inoculation of dogs against rabies, regulation of jus tices of ihe peace and a driver’s li cense bill held legislative attention to day. The Hill liquor stores bill, contain ing a referendum issue, which will he fought out on the floor of the Sen ate, was reported “without prejudice” by a judiciary committee and was placed on the calendar. The House Republicans introduced a bill to create a State prohibition commission empowered to set up a State dry force of up to 60 members to enforce liquor laws. An appropria tion of $75,000 annually be made. The House again debated* at length over the, Fenner bill to require the inoculation of each dog in the, cjtate against rabies. After brief debate, the Senate re fused to accept a committee sub stitute for the Weathers bill to limit the number of justices of the peace and put them on a salary basis, and the measure went on the un favor alb le calendar. II will take a two thirds vote to review it. The Senate sent the House a bill to extend time for - sales on 15)32 taxes The Senate refused to reconsider its concurrence in House amendments to the mandatory driver’s license bill and ordered the measure enrolled for ratification. The finance and appropriations committees this afternoon continued their long drawn out labors on the two big money bills.

The two cobinet officers claimed that they were unwilling to accept responsibility for conducting the forth coming presidential elections in the face bf political opposition to the Cuban method of elections. Part of this opposition was express ed in the students’ strike, which was in the nature of a general revolu tionary walk-out.
