Nov. 13 (AP) —Federal. inspectors here said today the body of a baby was found in a package opened at the dead letter office of the post of fice. They said that, due to its condition, they could not tell its age or sex. The package was addressed to the “St. Mercie Hospital, San Francisco,” bore 81 cents postage, and gave an Oakland return ad dress as “2745 Maldon.” There is no St. Mercie Hospital in San Francisco. Police inspectors called police and Deputy Coroner Thomas F. Gavin. in the United States and Canada dur ing 1936. This is one of the highest totals in the history of the industry, being surpassed only during the boom when as many as 5,358,000 units were assembled. This year’s production is eight per cent higher than in 1935 and 55 per cent above 1934. Naturally the rate of increase in 1937 will be slower. It is difficult to forecast the exact number of machines which will be sold, but considering the election I am bullish on the general business outlook. Hence, motor output in 1937 should total between 4,600,000 and 5,- 000,000 cars. Great as has been the publicity Continued on Page Two.) HENDERSON, N.

Erwin to request any definite appropriation for the support of the public schools for the next two years when he appeared be fore the Advisory Budget Commis sion here this week, along with the heads of all other State departments and institutions, is causing political circles hero to wonder just what the reasons are for this failure. It is pointed out that Superintendent Er win is the head of the most expen sive branch of the State government —the public schools —which now re quire more than 60 per cent of all the revenue collected by the State, but that he is the only head of a department or institution who did not' submit to the Advisory Budget Com mission a detailed estimated budget of the needs of his department for the next two years.

Addressing the federation’s building trades department con vention, Green said: . “We’re going to organize the unorganized of America, and we’re going to organize them in to the American Federation of SStofdr Members Will Recall That Roosevelt Landslide as They Vote By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Nov. 13.—0 f course Rooseveltians are delighted with the unprecedented majorities the Demo crats will have in both houses of the next Congress—increased majorities over the already enormous ones in the outgoing legislative body. Nevertheless, the suggestion is heard that an administration’s con gressional majority can be too large to be manageable. It is true that it can be—sometimes; or even generally. But it is doubtful that this is one of times. SMALL VS. LARGE MAJORITY The argument is that a small ma jority stays solidly behind its admin istration for its own good. It cannot afford to split and risk being outvot ed, with attendant damage to its own party’s prestige. A huge majority, however, tends to fall to quarreling within itself, ulti mately getting more or less beyond its administration’s control. This reasoning usually is sound. TROUBLE WITH SOME Its soundness, on an average, was demonstrated in the last four years. President Roosevelt had a thump ing majority in the seventy-third Con gress; an absolutely overwhelming (Continued on Page Six.) (Mlli VV>ATH£PM^ FOR NORTH CAROLINA.

The Russian delegate replied: • “It is a tune with which we are familiar; Soviet communism is the enemy of the world, and that a great crusade of ail “civilized” countries should be organized to destroy this terrible spectre.” Electricity Takes Last N. C. Victim Raleigh, Nov. 13.—(AP) —“Country John” Pressley, 43-year-old Gaston county Negro, died by electricity at State’s Prison today for murder in what may have been North Carolina’s last legal electrocution.
