GREATLY CONFUSED National Committee Can’t Even Decide on Con vention Plans By LESLIE EICHEL Central Press Staff Writer Cleveland, Feb. 3. —Looking at the working of the National Republican Committee from this convention city, one begins to wonder at its efficiency. The National Democratic Committee under Jim Farley functions perfect ly. The Republican committee doesn’t even seem to be alble to deeide on con vention arrangements, much less on a constructive program. Seeing the arrangements commit tee in action is not conducive to be lief that the Republicans will have a very pleasant convention. In fact, in spite of Cleveland’s lake breezes, the convention’s platform committee is likely to perspire freely. Although Republicans elsewhere gleefully discussed Al Smith’s Liberty League attack on the New Deal, tho Republicans in charge of arranging for the Big Show in Cleveland did not appear so gleeful. The persistent at tacks on All the New. Deal policies leave nothing unattached to. put into the Republican platform.

BASKERVILIi Raleigh, Feb. 3. —Talk concerning a special session of the General As sembly is being heard in some quar ters here again. This talk is coming largely from those who think a spe cial session would tend to help cer tain candidates seeking the Democra tic nomination for governor and in jure the chances of others. Those ad vocating a special session of the Gen eral Assembly before the State Demo cratic primary in June, ostensibly to pass legislation under which North Carolina might participate more fully under the National Social Security Act, maintain that such a session would help strengthen the present ad ministration of Governor J. C. B. Eh ringhaus and hence help the candi date or candidates which the adnflin istration is supposed to be supporting. These advocates of a special ses sion in the near future point out that so far the Democratic administration here within the State has shown very little enthusiasm for the "New Deal” in Washington and has done very lit (Continued on Page Three.)
