Nevertheless the Indiana senator hinted at no more than has been said in still plainer terms by numerous critics since the depression set in, with its hundreds of bankruptcy cas es to be dealt with in the U.

BASKERVILL Raleigh, April 24—The lieutenant governor in North Carolina really has more power and more opportunity to shape legislation than has the governor, due to the fact that the lieutenant governor is the presiding officer in the Senate and selects all committees, while the governor has no direct contact with members of the General Assembly and is the only gov.'V'or that does not have any veto power. Yet every four years, the campaign for the Democratic nomi nation for governor attracts about 95 •per cent of the interest of the voters, with little or no attehtion given to the campaign for the nomination for lieutenant governor. McDonald Wants His Man This is true again this year to a certain extent, although in some quarters more serious thought is be ing given to the selection of the nom inee for lieutenant governor than in previous years. The forces seeking the nomination of Dr. Ralph W. Mc- Donald as governor are anxious for the nomination of a candidate for lieutenant governor who will be in sympathy with the McDonald pro gram, should he be elected. It is con ceded that a lieutenant governor in the Senate who was unfriendly to the governor, could virtually block every- Continued on Page Three.)

Parker, indicted with four others yesterday, remained at large today, although there were rumors he was on his way here from New Jersey to surrender. The State police were given a war rant for his arrest last night after he had been indicted on charges of kid naping and second degree assault. “We know that Parker, Jr., was the real conspirator in this case,” Geog hegan said. “He concocted the whole plot and it was he who pointed out Wendel the night he was kidnaped.” Harry Bleefeld, 61, and Martin Schloffman, two of those indicted, are now being held. The other two, Harry Weiss and Murray Bleefeld, have not been located. The district attorney had previous ly indicated that additional indict ments might be forthcoming. matic resort, there are noticeable gains in the three other major activi ties of the region: mining, ranching, and farming.
