FEARS EFFECT ON STATE SECURITIES Senate Finance Chairman Says Decline Would Hurt Little Man Dally Dispatch Bureau, In The Sir Walter Hotel, By J. C. BA SKIS It VI LI. Raleigh, May 11.—Repudiation of the State’s bonds, an event which he thinks extremely likely should Ralph W. McDonald be elected governor, would work its principal hardships on the “little man" whom Professor McDonald professes he wants to pro tect, in the opinion of Harriss New man, State senator from New Han over county, and chairman of the Senate Finance Committee in the 1935 General Assembly. Mr. Newman expressed his views on the situation while a Raleigh visitor late last week. Mr. Newman is vigor ously supporting Sandy Graham for the nomination. “I have heard little yet about a matter I conceive to (be one of the main issues,” said Mr. Newman. “That is repudiation, or almost total de-valuation, of the State's obliga tions. Many voters throughout the State seem to feel that Professor Ralph W. McDonald’s repeated as saults on the ‘bondholders’ mean that the Forsyth man is the poor man’s friend and that only the bloated capi talists would be hurt should North Carolina’s obligations become worth less. “As a matter of fact, it is the man (Continued on Page FiveJ SENATE COMMITTEE CALLS MORGENTHAU FOR TAX BILL DATA Wallace and Jesse Jones Are Also To Testify Be fore Senate Fi nance Committee BYRD ANXIOUS FOR MORE INFORMATION Thinks Administration Bill Will Enable Big Corpora tions To Escape Taxes; Chairman Harrison Con tends Plan of Roosevelt Will Prevail Washington, May 11.—(AP)— The Senate Finance Committee decided to day to call Secretary Morgenthau and Treasury experts tomorrow to an swer criticisms of the House tax bill before getting down to serious con sideration of the measure. Secretary Wallace and Jesse H. Jones, chairman of the Reconstruc tion Corporation, also will testify. Chairman Harrison, Democrat, Mis sissippi, said the appearance of Wal lace did not necessarily mean revival of the plan for imposing new process ing taxes. Senator Byrd, Democrat, Virginia, asked to have Morgenthau appear to answer his contention that the pro posed tax on undistributed profits would permit many giant corpora tions to operate without paying any taxes. Harrison said Herman Oliphant, treasury general counsel, would un dertake to give the administration’s reply to the protest voiced in Open hearings to the House bill. After the executive session, Har rison still contended the “general theory” of President Roosevelt’s tax recommendations would he approved, but conceded there would be changes in the House bill. For the first time he took cogniz ance of the proposals for a comprom ise to continue present corporate taxes with levies on surpluses super imposed. Without committing himself to this proposal, which has been widely dis cussed among committee members, Harrison said it would carry out the theory of the President’s recommen dations and could be easily suibstiut ed for the House bill. OHIO PRIMARY ON Observers Look for Further Political Trends for 1936 Campaign Washington, May 11. —(AP) —Ohio’s primary battleground, to which obser vers looked for further possible indi cations of middle western voting trends, was sharply watched by lead ers today on the eve of what offi cials of the Buckeye State expected' would be record balloting.

Europe in Dilemma, With Major Dangers in What ever Road Taken MUSSOLINI ADVANTAG He Can Tell Other Nations They Urged Him To Hurry to Capi tal; Foes of Mussolini Are Persecuted at Home By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, May 11. —Italy’s con quest of Ethiopia leaves League of Nations’ diplomacy with about as severe a headache as it suffered from while Haile Selassie still was fighting. What are the League powers to do Call off their Italian sanctions? If they do that, they tacitly admit that the League is toothless; with com pletely ineffective sanctions it can’t bite. It may as well expire, in short. Or shall the League folk refuse to recognize Mussolini’s acquisition of the Ethiopian realm? If they do that they simply will prolong a dangerous situation indefinitely. GRIEF AHEAD? It is not as if Italy really had paci fied the Ethiopians. Capturing a capital like Addis Ababa and policing Ethiopia are two different things. France technically conquered Mo roco, but had 70 years of subsequent guerilla warfare on its hands. Spain technically conquered the Riff, but, nearly a generation later, the expense of keeping it conquered cost King Alfonso his throne. Military men surmise that the Fa cists have decades of grief ahead of them yet to make their Ethiopian conquest stick. PERILOUS CONDITION And if the League powers all this time continue to refuse a recognize that the Ethiopians are conquered, and continue trying to apply sanc tions to Italy, and continue lending a certain amount of aid to Ethiopia? Why! the possibility of internation al fiiction is manifested. It would be as perilous a state of affairs for Italy as for the rest of the world, to be sure, but Italy evidently is disposed to run the risk.

II Duce’s representatives announc ed that Italy could not negotiate in the presence of the so-called “delegate from Ethiopia.” Members of the Council said later they were facing a most delicate problem. Several told The Associated Press the only practical course seemed to be to condemn Italy’s attitude and to adjourn any detailed discussion until June, when a socialist government is expected to be in power in France. Apparently they felt such a govern ment would enable them to stiffen their attitude. Baron Aloysi told the private ses sion, in a prepared speech: “Any discusion of the Italo-Ethio pian difference is futile.” Anthony Eden, Great Britain’s for eign secretary, who presided at the session, asked whether “unde|r the circumstances, the Xtalo-Ethiopian question should be kept on the agen da.” Dr. Peter Munch, of Denmark, and Salbadore de Madariaga, of Spain, moved for its retention, and the mo tion was passed without a dissenting voice. Baron Aloysi and his co-delegates then sternly walked out. “This does not signify resignation from the League,’ ’the Italian envoy said. His dramatic exit followed a bitter protest from Haile Selassie himself against Mussolini’s annexation of the African kingdom and Italian hints that Italy would bolt the League rath er than discuss Ethiopia in the pres ence of an agent of Selassie. TROOP DEMOBILIZATION IS BEGUN BY MUSSOLINI (By The Associated Press) Benito Mussolini, his Fascist em pire proclaimed, moved today to make civilians out of soldiers once more. He ordered partial demobilization of the principal classes he called to the colors for the Ethiopian war, just as the League of Nations Council gath (Contlnurd on Pave Kour.) Every State FDR Region, Says Farley Not Worrying Over California; Relying on Labor To Swing Pennsylvania Chicago, May 11 (AP) —Postmaster General James A. Farley predicted here today that all 48 states were “Roosevelt territory," despite Repub lican claims. Farley was en route to Devil’s Lake, N D., to speak before the Democratic State Convention tomorrow. Farley said he did not consider Cal ifornia’s Republican vote last Tues day a source of worry for the Demo crats, explaining: “We carried the State by 500,000 in 1932, when we didn’t outnumber the Republicans in the registration. This year we do.” He said he counted on the influence of John L. Lewis and William A. Green, labor leaders, to help swing the Republican stronghold of Penn sylvania into the Democratic total. Writing a Democratic platform for 1936 was another item Farley said he wasn’t worried about. He said he “had an idea” that Re publican charges of promise-breaking should be met with this argument: “President Roosevelt went into of fice nine months after the platform was written. In that time, complete ly new conditions arose. What was he supposed to do? Call a new con vention and ask for a new platform?
