HENDERSON, N. C„ FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 3, 1936. Two Major Problems Face Reassembled Congress Two major problems will be laid before the seventy-fourth Congress, which assembled to day for the first time, by President Roosevelt when he delivers in person his annual message to that body. One involves the renewal of the neutrality act, which expires February 29. The ad ministration, observers say, wants the neutrality law re-enacted, but desires greater discretion ary power for the White House in the matter of applying embargoes and the like. The other new legislative request will be that Congress correct certain inequalities in the 1935 wealth tax act, particularly as it applies to corporations.

Thirty-Hour Week or Other Similar Remedies Mere “Poverty Sharing” Plan; New Industries and Olh* er Suggestions for So lution Made by Babson BY ItlKiElt W. ftAHSON, Copyright 193(1, Publishers '.Financial Bureau, Inc. Babsofn Park, Fla., Jan. 3. —General business .is rapidly pushing toward normal. Actually, with the exception of building and certain other heavy industries, activity is now in a pe riod of prosperity. Yet unemployment is not decreasing very rapidly. There are still close to 10,000,000 jobless to day. The reason may be increased "social” legislation. History shows that most laws of this type, tempor arily at least, increase unemployment. An example of the latter is the huge amount of labor-saving ma chinery installed as a result of the ALDERMAN REELS Candidate for State Super intendent Thinks People Should Coose. Unity Dispatch Bureau, In The Sir Walter Hotel, By J C. BASKERVILf, Ttaleigh, Jan. 3.—"1 unerstand that some people have expressed themsel ves as being unable to understand why I am a candidate for State su perintendent of public instruction, al though I had already made it pretty clear,” A. B. Alderman, superinten dent of the Greene county schools, and a candidate for the Democratic nomination for State superintendent of public instruction against Clyde R. Erwin, the incumbent, said while here Thursday. “The principal reason I decided to become a candidate is because I am convinced that the State Department of Public Instruction and our entire State school system need to be re vamped around the enild as the cen ter of their activities, instead of means of advancing the political for tune of a few individuals. In other words, I think the schools should ex ist for the welfare and the benefit of the children in them, rather than for the welfare and benefit of those running them. I also am in favor of more adequate financial support of the schools, lighter teacher loads, teacher pensions, local supplements for districts that want additional teaching service or longer school terms. I also want to free the hands of the teachers to teach. “Another reason I decided to run Coi2*'cui , d o" P“r* Q . ' Social Security Act.

In The Sir Walter Hotel, By J. C. BASKEBVIDIi Raleigh, Jan. 3.—(Supporters of Sen ator Josiah W. Bailey in this imme diate section are refusing to become alarmed at the reports that Josephus Daniels, ambassador to Mexico and publisher of The News and Observer here, is really considering resigning from his $17,000 a year job as amvas sador to become a candidate for the Senate against Senator Bailey. They maintain that Mr. Daniels is too smart, both politically and from a business standpoint, to throw away a $17,000 a year “sure thing” for a chance at a SIO,OOO a year job in the Senate, especially when a senator’s job these days is about as worrisome as any political jab can be.

NEUTRALITY, BONUS ARE BIG QUESTIONS These Will be Tackled Im mediately After President In Person Delivers Annual Message Tonight; Demo crats Demand Speed to Get Away on Campaign. Washington, Jan. 3 (AP)—ln an atmosphere electric with political hatred, the 74th Congress gathered to day to open its second session with! brief formality at noon, to hear Pres ident Roosevelt make a precedent smashing address at 9 p. m., and then to plunge almost at once into two giant issues: 1. The complicated problem of keep ing America out of war. 2. The long vexing question of pay ing the bonus immediately to soldiers who served in the last one. A coming event —the great cam paign struggle leading up to Novem ber’s presidential election—cast its shadow over the whole proceedings. Both New Dealers aqd their foes ac cused each other of intent to seize upon Congress as a sounding board for propaganda designed to win the election. As the Congress met, Democrats were demanding speed on major leg islation, and an early adjournment, while the Republican leadership call ed on the houses to cease being “rub ber stamps.” Attacking what he called the ‘.‘spendthrift policy of the aainhlls tration,” Representative Snell, of New York, House minority leader, assert ed appropriations will need “more than ordinary consideration.” He said the Republicans would ad vocate “reduced expenditures, a bal anced budget,- sound financial policies withdrawal of government competi tion with private enterprise, a return to representative and constitutional government ai*d freedom from foreign entanglements.” Speaker Byrns said that “every one wants to see all necessary legislation (Continued on Page Three.)
