UAKKERVILL Raleigh, Jan. 27.—The charge being made by Dr. Ralph W.

Those who have been digging ink 1 the journals of the 1933 House aiffl Senate and who recall the happenings in the now historic 1933 session so far are not finding much to support the contention of Dr. McDonald that the ones who favored and finally en acted the three per cent -sales tax were the ones who battered the school appropriation down and thus deprived the schools of $8,200,000 in revenue which they formerly had been getting. The conviction persists in most un biased minds here of those who fol ! lowed the activities of the 1933 ses sion that if the anti-sales tax forces had been in the 1933 General Assem bly-—the 82 members of the House who formed the “Bowie bloc” and for months held out for nothing morp than a Statewide six months school term and a State appropriation of not more than $10,000,000 a year—the schools would have $6,000,000 less than (Continued on Pa HENDERSON, N.

The hoard index advanced from the 98 percent of the 1923-25 aver age in November to 103 the next month. Factory payrolls were reported lar ger in this December than a. month before. Department store sales and mail order businesses were reported greater t han usual. While freight car j loadings declined, the drop was less! than usual for the period, the sum-; mary reported. “The rise in the index was due in large part,” the summary said, “to ine.rea.se in output of durable manu facturers, particularly to iron and steel and automobiles.” The output of mines and shoe fac tories increased and activities in tex tile mills declined, less than usual.

Jan. 27.—Now that tliu I mass of material in newspapers con-; corning the death of King George and j the accession, of King Edward has abated somewhat, a question may bo discussed (it) the United States at least), “Will the young king play any part in politics?” He made some remarks concerning anti-big armament people a few months ago. He was not in sympathy with them. And King George was supposed to have urged the recalcitrant Anthony Eden to accept the ill-fated Hoare- Laval proposals for Ethiopia, pro posals that, when they became known nearly caused the ousting of the Baldwin government. Recently' there have been some cau tious statement in England express ing concern as to who the late king’s advisers were. This column quoted some of those apprehensions. King George was known as a re (flnntinufid on Paerft Two.) WIAiHIR FOK NORT HCAROLINA.

But neither Smith nor any of the other anti-Ncw Deal Dem ocrats are able at this time to esti mate what he thinks any insurgent Democratic group could mobilize. Having opened the way, Stiiith, his close friends say, would not and con id not walk out on such a group. They feel certain he would give it all tho support he could, even to the extent ;of “stumping” for an independent Democrat. The Smith group, every one agrees, will make as determined a fight as | possible against the New Deal at the j convention, but at this time the de | feat at Philadelphia seems inevitable.

The Senate, with its big Democratic majority, voted 76 to 19 to override the chief exe cutive’s veto. The Houmc had smashed it down last Friday, 321 to Cl. The two ballots which saw top Democratic leaders go against the President on tho 16-year-old issue, put the $2,491,000,000 bond payment plan on the statute books. They raised also for Mr. Roosevelt and his financial advisors the serious problem of finding funds to meet the new drain on the Treasury. Whether new taxes will be .asked to meet this extra budget outlay—esti mated to require an immediate ex penditure of one billion dollars—-re mained to be seen.
