Italeigh, Jan. 9—The address by Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus at the Jackson Day dinner of the Guilford county Young Democrats last night in Greensboro, in which he praised President Roosevelt for standing his ground against the Republican critics of the “New Deal” and challenged them to be specific in their criticism, and then challenged critics of the pre sent State Democratic administration to be specific, is regarded here as the most vigorous answer the governor has yet made to those who have been attacking him and his administration for many months.

HOEV SEES GREAT ERA OFPROSPERITY Also Tells Home - Town: Young Democrats Roose velt Will Win Again. By Staff Correspondent. Shelby, Jan. 9. —President Franklin D. Roosevelt will be reelected and be fore he completes his second term there will be more general prosperity among all the people than the coun try has ever witnessed, Clyde R. Hoey, one of the candidates ror the Democratic nomination for governor, declared in his address to the Young Democrats of Cleveland county at their Jackson Day dinner here last night. “Recovery is not complete, but it is well on its way and when another year has rolled around, the task will be near accomplishment,” Hoey said. “So it is fitting that we do honor on this occasion to President Roosevelt and pledge him our individual loyalty for his masterful leadership of this nation in its perilous hours. We as sure him of our sympathetic inter est and that we shall stand squarely behind him for his reelection to the presidency. For when a fair appraisal* of his administration is made, it will be found by incontrovertible proof that President Roosevelt found a na tion stranded on March 4, 1933, and that in less than three years, under his courageous leadership, we find a people revitalized, and business, in dustry and agriculture restored and stabilized, with the working people placed on a more equitable and favor able basis than ever before as to hours and wages.

Daily lturcnn, In The Sir Waller Hotel, By .1 HASKEB.VII.iI. Raleigh, Jan. 9.—Chances for a spe cial session of the General Assembly any time in the near future arc re garded as .being more remote than ever as a result of the Supreme Court decision holding the AAA unconstitu tional, since the belief in many cir cles now is that the Supreme Court will sooner or later hold the social security laws, the Bankhead cotton control act, the Kerr tobacco ontrol at and many other of the “New Deal” acts unconstitutional. If it does do this, it will then be entirely unneces sary for the General Assembly to pass any laws of a similar nature. So far, most of the agitation for a special session has come principally from those who thought this State should enact cooperative laws so that it might share in the old age benefits and unemployment insurance set up by the last session of Congress. There are some, however, who do not think the Supreme Court will throw the social security laws over board, as :t did the AAA act, since (Continued on Page Two.) WEATHER Fort NORTH CAROLINA.

By LESLIE KICHEL Central Press Staff Writer Hot Springs, Ark.; Jan. 9. —A person obtains a new perspective of the mid south when one remains here for ten days. The northern states boast of their progressiveness, but here in the mid-south there is incubating a move ment that means a definite change in conditions. A resident of the region would not be so apt to observe the trend as a visitor—a first-time visitor. Conditions became so bad among tenant farmers and sharecroppers, and among certain groups of miners and industrial workers, that they be gan struggling. It was a feeble strug gle at first. But now that they begin to realize they can swim if they try, they are beginning to swim en masse against the current. A decade will disclose a remarkable difference. If I were a business man, I should invest judicuously in the south now, for with endeavor to raise its living standards and its development of wa-terpower and other natural re sources, it will gain immeasurably during the next quarter of a century. As the south develops, its states men will be not more conservative, but more and more “radical,” as radi calism is measured in terms of today. They will be classed as a new type of progressives, heartily detested by (Continued on Page Two.)

Wake Trial Ends When Juror Seeks To Kill Himself Raleigh, Jan. 9.—(A I*)— The trial of Beecher Patton, charged with killing Vernon Knight with a penknife, came to a sudden ter mination in Wake Superior Court today when Solicitor William Y. Bickett was informed one of the jurors had seriously wounded himself with a penknife. After a conference with the solici tor, Judge M. V. Barnhill, presiding, ordered the jury discharged and en tered a mistrial. The juror, O. L. Sorrell, a farmer, of Leesville township, was said by Coroner L. M. Waring to have told Rex hospital attaches he attempted to commit suicide because he was worried. Waring launched an investi gation so as to have the facts in the case if Sorrell dies. Sorrell yesterday had sat through testimony that Patton killed Knight with a small knife during a tussle. Patton admitted the slaying, but con tended it was in self-defense after Knight had attacked him. Last night the jury was allowed to disband and Sorrell took a room in town. He was all right when a hoy awakened him this morning, but was found with wounds in his neck and arm when he fallen to go downstairs to Hrpakfp^ 4 ' 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY EING TO BE FARLEY DUNES Supporters of Philadelphia For National Gathering Fight For Their City.
