Additional meetings will be held later. This is the first step in the long expensive and involved process of get ting textbooks adopted in North Car olina. The publishers and their repre sentatives first argue the merits of their books before the High School Textbook Committee —one of four commissions now dealing with some angle of textbook adoption or distri bution. After many hearings of many textbook representatives, the commit tee will then draw up a multiple list of texts which it considers equally good for higlj school use. The State Board of Education will then call for bids on all these texts, but is not re quired to award the contract to the (Continued on Page Six.) OUR WEATHER MAN FOR NORTH CAROLINA. .

Mcßae can possibly garner enough votes to forge ahead of the long-haired, frock-coated orator from Cleveland county, who has been going up and down the State for 25 years or more preaching the gospel of democracy and holding the "bretheren” in line for the Demo cratic party. It is also pointed out that in primaries, many more Demo cratic votes are cast in the close Pied mont and Western North Carolina counties than in the almost solidly Democratic eastern counties, with the result that the Piedmont and western counties are the ones which nominate and elect governors and senators, and not the eastern ones. “Graham and McDonald can carry almost every county in the east and (Continued on p^ e Three.)

SAY BORAH HAS NO SUPPORT IN SOUTH i But Hoover Has Some Strength; Sharecroppers’ Plight Worries By LESLIE EICHEL Central Press Staff Writer New York, Feb. 20.—Scouts report ing to this writer say that “Borah has no strength in the South—except among the Democrats, Landon seems strongest among potential delegates.” But Herbert Hoover also retains a hold —on southern delegates. Many were postmasters, deputy United States marshals, etc. A RUMOR Some conservative Republicans are saying (not for publication) it looks as if Senator Borah “were stirring up a minority of Republicans in order to deliver them to President Roose velt —and insure his own re-election as senator from Idaho without too much Democratic opposition.” Senator Borah insists, however, ha will remain Republican, even if he is not nominated. He has never “desert ed” the party. His supporters point out that Knox and Landon once went Bull Moose. CHILD LABOR The increase of child labor is wor rying the Roosevelt administration.

STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Feb. 20. —iSenator Rob ert R. Reynolds of North Carolina is sponsor of the latest bill further re stricting immigration into the United States, to deport thousands of aliens already in the country and requiring registration of all the rest. The senator proposes to cut present quotas by DO per cent, almost closing the American door against more new comers. He demands the explusion of habi tual criminals, of all aliens who are on relief and of all whe “occupy posi tions which should be filled by Amer icans.” And, to weed these classes out lie insists that compulsory registra tion is essential. AN ENTERING WEDGE Nobody is likely to argue that habi tual criminals or public charges shouldn’t be deported. There is some question, however, (Continued on Page Six.)

J., Feb. 20 (APl—'The electric chair in which Bruno Rich ard Hauptmann has been doomed to die the week of March 30 was shown to him in a dramatic episode in the death house yesterday, it was learn ed today. Hauptmann peered into the death I chamber during the interview with I Samuel Leibowitz, New York attorney j and C. Lloyd Fisher, chief counsel. "Hauptmann was like a caged ani ! mal,” said a person who was present at the interview. “He continually grasped the bars of his cell with white clenched fists and thrust his face between the bars." During the interview, Leibowtiz in sisted that a wire screen be removed from behind Hauptmann’s cell. When this was done, Hauptmann could reach through the bars and touch the green door leading to the execution chamber, and by extending his hand could touch the little peep-hole in the door. Leibowitz opened the peep-hole and Hauptmann looked through. He star ed at the electric chair for a minute and blanched. He shivered and sigh ed and lost his voice momentarily, but no teal’s came to his eyes.” ' A dramatic announcement by At torney (Samuel S. Leibowtiz, strongly indicating he believes Bruno Richard Hauptmann is guilty of the Lindbergh baby kidnap-slaylng, appeared today to have virtually blasted the convict ed man’s hope of escaping death In the electric chair. "Haupmann,” Leibowitz said, "un derstands very clearly that his lard card has been played and he has lost." The New York attorney, who had consented to aid Hauptmann, if he "would tell the whole truth,” with drek from the case last night. In the eight days that Leibowitz had investigated the case, he had sub jected Hauptmann to several periods of questioning so intensive that at least once the convicted man broke into tears. But, although Haupmann steadfastly refused to confess any part in the crime, Leibowitz, in sev ering his connection with the case, as serted: "His only salvation, jus matters stand now, lies iti his making a clean breast of whatever guilty part he may have had in the crime. "He understands that at the pre sent moment there is not available the newly discovered evidence which the law demands before any court of this State will grant him a new trial."

W. L. Clayton, head of Anderson- Clayton & Company, of Houston, Texas, made the assertion when ques tioned by Alfred S. Wyllie, committee attorney, as to what could be done to prevent sudden market breaks. The committee is investigating the two cents a pound price break March 11, 1935. “As Jong as there is a cotton mar ket there will be fluctuations,” Clay ton said, "and, of course, breaks. “A two cents a pound break, while severe and regrettable, is likely to oc cur in the future, no matter what you may do. And, of course, there will be price advances. "But we will never have a healthy market until the government goes out.” Clayton said the government was the "only obstruction” to market re covery. “The government has no definite policies," he declared. "It is liable to have one thing this week and another next week.” He added the government’s cotton policy had been a "failure.”
