Regarding the League of Nations, it was said that Hitler repeated the familiar German argument that all matters must he settled for Germany before he would consider re-entering the League. The largest part of the conversa tions, which were conducted in pri vate, were reported to have dealt with armies rather than with disarmament. The cooperative air pact , and the question of Austrian independence al so were treated. GERMAN REARMAMENT IS NOW ESTABLISHED PACT Berlin.

TWO PERCENT LEVY CREATES SHORTAGE Legislature Must Find Three to Four Million Dollars More Revenfue If Sales Tax Cut to Two Percent Is Al lowed to Stick; House Vote Surprise. >■;«* Dnlly Dis,intch Bnreaa, In the B|r Walter Hotel. BY J. C. BASKERVILL. Raleigh, March 26.—A deadlock be tween the House and the Senate that may extend the present session of the General Assembly from one to two months longer is regarded likely as the result of the surprise action tak en by the House late Monday after noon in reducing the sales tax rate to two per cent, after it had adopt ed the sales tax section Friday and passed it on second reading early Saturday morning with the three per cent sales tax retained. As the revenue hill now stands, with the sales tax rate reduced to two per cent, it lacks more than $3,- 000,000 of balancing with the appro priations hill the first year and more than $4,000,000 of balancing with it the second year of the next biennium Thus the legislature must find ap proximately $3,500,000 of new taxea the first year and at least $4,500,000 in new taxes for the second year in order to make the revenue bill bal ance with the appropriations—or else reduce the appropriations bill by a like amount for each year.
