They broke through its final wall of stone and dirt to reach Dr. D. E. Robertson and Charles Alfred Scad ding, both of whom were in agony from the privations they have endur ed during the long wait underground. A group of three hard boiled coal miners, members of Nova Scotia’s fa mous mine rescue organization, the Draegermen, formed the spearhead- of the underground attack, which reach ed the noted Toronto surgeon and his friend. Their companion on the de scent into the gold mine on Easter Sunday night, Herman Magill, died two days ago from privations. So unbelieveable was the pain that the two entombed men suffered that Dr. Robertson asked for hypodemic injections at once. . . . At the top of the rescue shaft stood hundreds of persons. Many of them had been on duty day and night, striv ing the best they could to assist in the work of rescue.

KSed Organizations Didn’t Train Them During Depression; CCC Helped Some By LESLIE EICHEL Central Press Staff Writer THERE IS a shortage of trained men. Yet there are millions of men jobless. It was certain to occur. Organiza tions did not train men during the depression. Youth had to get along as best it could. The CCC camps helped some —but were merely a beginning. At both ends of life —youth and age —the United States is handicapped. It .cannot use vital, zestful youth be cause youth is untrained. It cannot lay aside older, wornout men because there is no provision to take care of them. Any comprehensive plan is downed with the cry of “Socialism," yet it is industry that is suffering the most be cause of thiss talemate.

The public schools in at least 70 counties i n the State would not have been able to re main open for more than a few months if the 1933 General Assembly had not enacted the eight months State-supported school law and enact ed the sales tax to help finance the schools, Nere E.

He vigorously took exception to the recent statements made by Dr. Ralph W. McDonald, one of the four Democratic candidates for governor, who charges that the 1933 General As sembly deliberately “wrecked the schools” and enacted the sales tax In order to reduce the property taxes of the big corporations. “I have it on the solemn word of the late Dr. A.

The opposing views foretold the heated controversy into which the 249 page bill headed as leaders set aside tomorrow for opening debate. The Democratic committee major ity, filing its report on the bill, said the new plan of taxing corporations’ net income with rates financed ac cording to the corporation’s earnings undistributed would provide the remedy for the major defect in the existing tax system by which sur taxes on individuals are avoided by impounding income on corporate sur pluses.” The majority conceded that the tax program would not come up to the revenue requirement outlined by Pres ident Roosevelt for the next three years. Mr. Roosevelt’s suggestions that processing taxes be included were omitted entirely. The report said the new corpora tion tax system “is estimated to pro duce an average at least $620,000,000 in additional revenue annually when it has come into full operation." In that respect, the report said, the bill meets the President’s request for permanent taxes to finance new farm program and the additional cost of pre-pay ment of bonus. ~OUR WEATHER MAN FOR nLrtH CAROL™ A.

PUBLISHERSFIRE _ Say Acts of Senate Commit tee and Communications Group Illegal New York, April 22. —(AP)—A re solution recommending that all “vic tims of the illegal act of the (Black) Senate investigating committee and the Federal Communication Commis sion” demand criminal prosecution of those involved and seek civil dam ages,” was offered today at the an nual convention of the American Newspaper Publishers Association. The resolution was offered by the committee on Freedom of Press, head ed by Col. R. R. McCormick, of the Chicago Tribune. It would commend “those persons who by their appeals to the court to enforce their rights under the constitution have help to curb the illegal conduct of the com mittee and the commission.” It asserted the Black committee had undertaken a campaign of persecution against individuals, organizations and newspaper, which had been critical of the Roosevelt administration in viola tion of the Constitution. In a voluminous report, the commit tee discussed the unsolved slaying of two Minnesota newspaper men, How ard Guilford, editor of the Saturday Press, and Walter Liggett, Minnear polis, editor, and asserted: “We cannot doubt that the author ities of Minnesota belong to gang land."

In The Sir Walter Hotel, By J. C. BASKJSRVILiL Raleigh, April 22 —If Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus persists in his refusal to call a special session of the general assembly to pass a state tobacco com pact law, in the face of the mass de monstration of more than 5,000 to bacco farmefrs here yesterday who unanimously voted in favor of a spe cial session after Governor Ehring haus had spoken for almost two hours in an effort to convince these farm ers that a special session would be useless( he will lose the support and good will of almost the only large group in the state with whom he has remained popular the last few years, according to most opinion here today. For it is generally conceded that the tobacco farmers of the state have stood back of Governor Ehringhaus and supported his policies, including the sales tax better than any other single group, largely because of the manner in which he went to bat for them in Washington in 1933 and help ed force the Federal government to come to the aid of the tobacco grow ers when all of the officials in Wash ington said “it can’t be done.” These same farmers are now charg ing that Governor Ehjringhaus is adopting the same attitude of de featism with regard to state tobacco crop control which the Federal gov ernment adopted in 1933 and is say ing that "it can’t be done,” now that he is being called upon to act in his (Continued on Page Two.). 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY Virginia Has Passed Tobac co Act; Carolinas and Georgia Are Still Wrangling CONTROL IS GIVEN SETBACK S. C. SENATE Amendment There Would Make Reduction Depend ent Upon Legislative Ac tion in Georgia; Little Hope {jor Control There; Ehringhaus Non-Commital (By The Associated Press) Although Congress has just approved the Kerr bill permit ting tobacco states to enter com pacts among themselves to con trol acreage, doubt arose today whether it could be put in ope ration to curb this year’s crop. Four states —Virginia, Georgia and the Carolinas, —produce the world’s supply of flue cured tobacco and of those, only Virginia has passed ne cessary legislation. The situation in the Carolinas, which produce bulk of the crop, was unsettled. Governor Ehringhaus of North Carolina remained non-committal aft er a mass meeting of 6,000 growers “march” and urged him to call a special session of legislature, the gov ernor contends the Virginia bill would not control the crop. A control bill in the South Carolina legislature received a setback last night when the Senate adopted an amendment, which its sponsor said, would prevent it from applying to this year’s crop. The amendment would make acre age reduction in this state dependent upon legislative action in Georgia, where a political situation gave farm er leaders little hope that Governor Talmadge would be persuaded to sum mons the legislature into special ses sion. In Georgia, a voluntary control cam paign is underway, but Harry L. Brown, director of the Georgia Agri cultural Extension Service, said only about 50 per cent of the acreage had been signed up so far. “If North Carolina acts favorably on the tobacco compact," Brown said, “it is practically assured that a suffi cient number of Georgia growers will be in line so fa ras acreage and pro duction are concerned to Insure suo cess of the program." Naval Committee Authorizes More Auxiliary Vessels Washington, April 22.—(AP)— The House Naval Affairs committee today approved the Vinson bill authorizing the construction of 54 naval auxiliary vessels. Before approving the bill requested by the Navy high command, the com mittee added an amendment to pro vide a six per cent construction dif ferential in favor of Pacific coast ship yards over Atlantic coast establish ments. Ehringhaus ' Commended For Stand Raleigh, April 22. —(AP) —Governor Ehringhaus said today he had receiv ed a “fine response” to his speech here yesterday to farmers who came demanding a special legislative ses sion to consider tobacco crop control through state compacts. “The response has been wonderful,” the governor said, as se showed news men some of the letters and telegrams congratulating him in his position in refusing to announce a special session call. “I probably shall issue a statement later in the day,” said the chief exe cutive. “The action taken by the South Carolina legislature was in line with what I was informed it would be, and as I told the farmers. I received a telegram today from its Senate’s spon sor, saying it made compacts inopera tive for 1936.”
