Dally Dtapnteli Bfeream,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, May 11. —With the liquor
question already one of the dominant
issues, if not the dominant issue, in
the next gubernatorial and legisla
tive cajnpagin as the result of this
legislature's tampering with the
State's prohibition law. speculation
has already started hero as to the
reaction that will result in the Demo
cratic primary next spring.
Democrats from the Piedmont and
western parts of the State, where the
difference between the Democrats and
Republicans in many counties is only
a few hundred votes, are frankly wor
ried and disturbed. Not that they
think there is such a thing as pro.
hibition or want to see the State pro
hibition law enforced, for most of
these are interested in prohibition on
ly from the political aspect. But they
do fear that this legislature has med
dled with the Turlington Act enough
to cause some of the bone-drys back
in those close counties to join forces
with the politically dry Republicans,
with the result that the Democrats
are likely to lose control of half a
dozen or more counties. They also

meals purchased in cases and other

features of the new revenue act are

But Bulgaria and Hungary
Would Be Forced Into
Assistance Pact
Bucharest, Roumania, May 11.—
(AP) —Representatives of four Bal
kan states decided after a five-hour
discussion today, an authoritative
source revealed, to allow the re-arma
ment of Bulgaria and Hungary, pro
vided those states agreed to join in
a pact of non .aggression and mutual
assistance with Yugo-Slavia, Rou
mania, Turkey, Czechoslovakia and
Greece.
The four statesmen, foreign minis
ters of Roumania, Greece, Turkey and
Yugoslavia, this source said, agreed
that, for practical purposes, the Bal
kan pact states should record at the
Rome conferences on central Euro
pean affairs a formal veto of the re
quest of Bulgaria and Hungary for
re-armament.
Should the great powers, however,
authorize such increase in national
defenses of the two nations, the Bal
kan states would use their formerly
recorded veto to force entrance of
Bulgaria and Hungary into the pro
posed mutual assistance pact.
