HENDERSON GATEWAY TO CENTRAL CAROLINA TWENTY-THIRD YEAR EUROPEAN CRISIS GROWS AS ITALIANS QUIT ROOSEVELT LEAVES REVENUE PROBLEMS WITH THE CONGRESS President Not Insisting On Mouse Bill, But Merely Wants Money He Requested WILLING TO TAKE NEW SURTAX LEVY Would Let Present Corpor ate Taxes Stay; Wallace Urges Enactment of Wind fall Tax To Recover Pro cessing Taxes; Other Pro cess Levy Is Urged Washington, May 12.—(AP)— Capi tol Hill sources said today President Roosevelt had informed Senator Har is on, Democrat, Mississippi, that it is up to Congress to determine the tax methods of raising the revenue he has requested. The chief executive conferred with Harrison yesterday after the Senate Finance Committee had indicated clearly it favored a revision of the House bill to tax corporations on the basis of their undistributed profits. Harrison, chairman of the commit tee, would not discuss the conference. It was learned, however, the chtef executive did not insist upon the House bill and told the Senate leader that the important thing in his mind was to raise $620,000,000 in perma nent revenue and $500,000,000 through temporary levies. Compromise Acceptable. It had been reported previously in Senate circles that the President would be willing to accept a bill re taining the present corporation tax structure with a surtax on undistri buted corporate income. As this development became known, increasing the likelihood of a major revision in the House bill, Vice-Presi dent Garner and Senator Robinson, the Democratic leader, called at the White House. The purpose of their visit, however, was not made known immediately. Simultaneously, the finance com mittee reopened hearings to hear Sec retary Wallace strongly urge the en actment of the proposed 80 percent “windfall” levy on processing taxes. Wallace also urged the committee to put in the bill the processing taxes which President Roosevelt recom mended, 'tut which were left out of the House bill.

Governor’s Race Hides Lesser Fry Races for Minor State Offices Over shadowed by Major Contest Onlly OiMiuiteh Bureau. In The Sir Walter Hotel, By J. V. IiASIiEItVILL Raleigh, May 12—Less interest is being shown by the public generally it. the contests for the various elec tive State offices than in years, due to the very great interest in the con test for the Democratic nomination for governor, according to comment heard here from almost every sec tion of the State. The opinion ex pressed by observers is that the race for governor is holding the spotlight to such an extent that most of the voters do not know or care who are opposing each other for the nomina tion fo>r the minor State offices, with the possible exception of the race ior lieutenant governor. How It Will React This decided apathy and lack of int Test in the other State contests is f au ting considerable argument as to whether it will prove favorable to those now in office seeking renomi nation, or to the new candidates who are seeking to oust the old office holders. The belief seems to be that it tends to favor the present office huldtus who are seeking renomina tion, if for no other reason than that they are better known to the voters. It is agieed that for the most part there is an entire iack of issues in Ihe contests for the lesser offices. Horton Favored The contest for the nomination for Lieutenant governor, between State Senator W. P. Horton, of Pittsboro, Chatham county; State Senator Paul D. Grady, of Kenly, Johnston county, and former State Senator George Mc iNeiif, of Fayetteville, Cumberland county, is agreed to be more spirit ual than any of the minor races. One of the reasons for this is that the Lieutenant governor, as president of the Senate, appoints all of the State committees, and thus is in a position to exercise more influence on legis lation than the governor. Still an other factor is that. Indications are that the extreme liberals, or the forces backing Dr. Ralph W. McDon ald for governor, are favoring Grady for lieutenant governor, also that Grady is counting upon getting heavy support from the McDonald follow ers and expecting the McDonald land slide to sweep him in as McDonald's next in command. The moderate lib erals on the other hand, are known to be backing Horton very strongly with the more conservative adminis tration group backing McNeill. The belief in many political circles here is, however, that of the three, Horton seems to have the more substantial support and hence is more likely to win the nomination. Many are frank ly hacking him for the post because •they believe that a safe, sane, experi enced man of his type is needed as presiding officer in the Senate, es pecially if Dr. McDonald should be nominated and elected governor. The odds here are decidedly in favor of Horton. Little Interest Elsewhere There is little interest being evi denced in the three-cornered race for secretary of state between Stacey W. Wade, the incumbent; Thad Eure and M. li. Dunnagan, although most of the opinion here is that Wade seems to have the best chance of the three, largely because he is “in” now. Al though Sate Treasurer Charles M. Johnson is being opposed for the nom ination by Mrs. Helen Robertson Wohl (Continued on Page Two.)

(Central Press) New $700,000,000 For PWA Sought In Senate Measure< Washington, May 12.—(AP)—Sena tor Hayden, Democrat, Arizona, today Introduced in the Senate an amend ment to the $2,364,229,712 relief de ficiency bill to appropriate an extra $700,000,000 for the Public Works Ad ministration. The bill, as it now stands, carries ADMINISTRATION IS ANGRY AT GRAHAM Department Heads Private ly Are Bitter About Crit icism of Them Dnliy Dispatch Bureau. In The Sir Walter Hote., Ry J T. RAHKERVILL Raleigh, May 12.—The administra tion forces here, which are support ing Clyde R. Hoey for governor, are hopping mad at Sandy Graham for the manner in which he assailed the administration of Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus in his radio speech last Friday night, and for the heavy punches he has been taking at Gov ernor Ehringhaus, the Department of Revenue, the State Highway and Public Works Commission and other State divisions with appointive heads, it was very evident today. None of the department or division heads which Sandy criticized is making any public comment, of course. But in private conversation, if no Graham or McDonald supporters are present, the words of some of these administra tion supporters fairly sizzle when they discuss Sandy and the new line of attack he has (been taknig, according to reliable reports today. Graham Crowd Smiling. All of which is only causing the Graham managers and workers to smile broadly and to chuckle gleeful ly and to cause gloom in both the Jfloey and McDonald headquarters. For the Graham managers know that they have lost nothing by arousing the ill-will of the administration lead ers and appointees, since they have been for Hoey all the time and are going to stay that way. They like wise are conceded to hate McDonald more than they do Graham, even if Sandy is stepping on their toes, so that if it comes to a final run-off be tween Graham and McDonald, they would vote for Sandy as the lesser of two evils. Still another reason for the belief that they will not attempt to strike back at Graham openly is be cause they still are convinced that the second primary will be ibetween Hoey and McDonald, in which case Hoey will need as many of the Gra ham votes as he can get, and which he will not get if he and the admin istration forces make an active, open fight on Graham. Graham Is Hearing It. But what the administration forces here are saying about Graham, even in private, is getting back to Gra ham headquarters by the well known “grapevine” route. The Graham sup porters arc also convinced that con certed efforts have been made re cently by beth Hoey supporters and administration leaders to cut off sev eral sources of campaign funds for Graham and thus to cripple his cam paign, according to current reports which seem to have considerable basis, the Graham leaders some weeks ago were offered some large cam paign fund donations provided that Sandy would agree not to attack eith er Mr. Hoey or the present Ehring haus administration, but were warn ed that if he did assail either, that (Continued on Page Two.)

Penick, of Raleigh, today called on the Episcopal diocese of North Carolina to turn to develop ment of the church in the rural field, and warned “the old concept of the mission of the church needs to be deeply re-studied and re-evaluated.” Bishop Penick’s address opened the 120th annual convention of the dio cese in historic Emmanuel church.

In the field of diocesan missions, Bishop Penick said the church for years “has been practicing economy,” and warned “it is a false economy and an unwise policy.” “Short-Sighted” Course. “It is short-sighted to choke the stream of diocesan life at its founda tion head,” he said. “If we admit the truth of what we are repeatedly say ing, that our church is weak in rural (Continued on Page Three.) HOEY LAUDS GRAHAM AND JOHN A. McRAE But McDonald’s Promises Are Too Extravagant for Realization, in His Opinion Dally Dispatch Bureau, In The Sir Walter Hotel, By J. C. UASKSHVILL Raleigh, May 12 —One of the high est questions before the State right now is whether or not the people of North Carolina believe in a political Santa Claus who promises to repeal any tax to which anybody objects and to increase any expenditure which anybody wants,” Clyde R. Hoey, can didate for the Democratic nomination for governor, in discussing the prom ises made by his principal opponent, Dr. Ralph W. McDonald. ’’Like most people, I wish there was a Santa Claus who would give us whiat we want and not require us to pay for it. But, as all practical peo ple know, somebody has to pay for these gifts. Promises to the contrary notwithstanding, nobody gets some thing for nothing. “If this political Santa Claus’ pro mises to increase expenditures and •repeal major sources of revenue arc carried out, it will mean that the schools will be crippled, the old peo ple will be denied security and taxes will go back on land. That will be the price of McDonald’s gifts.” Asked what he thought about his other opponents, Lieutenant Gover nor A. H. Graham and John Mcßiae Mr. Hoey said “both are good men, the State would he safe with either.

Shortly before the Council's action, 'Baron Pompeo Aloysi and the entire Fascist delegation left the city. They carried with them the secret of Pre mier Mussolini’s hasty instructions of recall. Up until their train pulled out of the closely guarded railway station, the Italians insisted they could not interpret II Duce’s command. Nevertheless, many League observ ers believed the move was a prelude to a complete Italian break with the League over the question of crush and annex Ethiopia. (By the Associated Press.) Italy’s delegates to the League of Nations, maintaining their “re-born” Afro-European empire permits no League of Nations meddling, an nounced today they were going home. Baron Pompeo Aloysi, apparently on orders from Premier Mussolini, informed the League secretary gen eral of his intentions.
