BASIvERVILI, Raleigh, Jan. 16. —The first elec trocution in the new combination gas-electric death chamber is almost, certain to be hold tomorrow morning, when Robert Dunlop, 25 years old Ne gro of Asheville. Buncombe county, is slated to be executed for the poison, murder of him former “sweetie,” whose name was Pauline or Ola Mc- Millcn, also of two others, one an. aged Negro woman, the other a child. Dunlop was convicted of putting poi son in some sausage with the pur pose of fatally poisoning the McMil len woman. It was maintained at the trial that he deliberately poisoned all three —the old woman and the child, in addition to his sweetheart—in or der to bring about the death of his sweetheart. Dunlop also ate some of the sau sage which was poisoned and became sick from it and his defense at the trial was that he did not know it was poisoned, citing the fact that he ate some of it, too. But the jury found him guilty and the judge sentenced him to death. Since he was put on death row at .the Ceo/tral Prison here,' Dunlap’S case has been carefully investigated by Commissioner of Paroles Edwin M. Gill. He has also been examined by alienists to determine whether or not he was or is insane. The fact Dun lop ate some of the poisoned saus age which he allegedly prepared to cause the death of his erstwhile sweet (heart, was regarded by some as an indication he might have been insane.

Nearly every public man of consequence op poses it. In the financial world, Colonel Leonard P. Ayres, widely-publicized economist of the Cleveland Trust company, now steps forward with an analysis. It is an analysis that the business world, hopes the people will understand. Here it is: “If the Townsend plan had been in effect in 1935, the average income of all Americans over 60 years of age would have been something over 2,- 400 dollars, .but the average income of all those younger than 60 would have been about 211 dollars. These figures are based on the assumption that ithe total national income would have been last year about what it actually was. “The assumption is that the total national*income is all that there is to be divided up among us and (this is clearly a fair and just basis for esti mating how the plan would work out in the distribution of income in pros perous years, even if proponents of the plan may claim that its opera (Coutinued on Page Two.)
