Erwin Plays Smart Hand Over Budget Figures Presented by School Head Not Positive and Defi nite As Yet Daily Dispatch nnrean. In the Sir Walter Hotel. II j *\ RANKER VIM. Raleigh, Nov. 14- Faced with the iltcrnativo of either presenting a budget for the public schools for the next two years himself or of having the Advisory Budget Commission make one up for the schools without his assistance, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Clyde A. Erwin finally appeared before the Advisory Budget Commission Friday and sub mitted a ‘‘school program” and some estimates, which when put together and figured out later, indicated that approximately $27,000,000 would be required for each year of the next two years for the public schools. This represents an increase of $6,000,000 a year over the present appropriation for the public schools of $21,000,000 for this fiscal year. Until Friday, Superintendent Er win was the only head of a State de partment or institution who had not submitted the estimated needs of his department to the Advisory Budget Commission, although he had appear ed before it at length in the course of the hearings which have been in Continued on Page Five.)

TeSmark \ Increase Is More Than 500 Over Figure for October Last Year Dully Dispatch lliirrnw. In ihc Sir Waller Hotel. My J. C. BASKIORVIDI, Raleigh, Nov. 14. —The population of the State Prison system passed the 9,000 mark this month, with 9,075 pri soners in its custody on November 1, and having handled 10,839 prisoners during October, according to the Oc tober report of the prison division made public today by Acting Director Oscar T. Pitts. A year ago the popu lation was approximately 8,500. The number of escapes continues to drop in spite of the increase in popu lation, the figures show, since there were only 32 escapes in October and 36 recaptures—four more than the number of escapes—while in October last year there were 76 escapes and 61 recaptures. The percentage of es capes to the total number of prison ers handled in October of this year was only .029 per cent or 2.9 hun dredths of one per cent while in Oc tober, 1935, the percentage of escapes was -08 per cent or 8 hundredth of one per cent. The increase in the prison popula tion is partially due to the coming of fall and the approach of winter and cold weather, Director Pitts said, since there is always an increase in the prison population in cold weath er. Another reason for the increase is due to the fact that there is more crime and consequently more convic tions. “There is always a certain class of people who seem to make it a point to commit some crime that- will be sufficent to send them to a prison camp during the winter months, Pitts said. “They know they can be sure of three’ good meals a day and a warm place to sleep at night pro bably more than some of them would have if they were not in prison. But most of the increase in the prison population is undoubtedly due to a general increase in crime or else to a larger number of convictions in the courts. A very large proportion of those in the State prison system have been convicted of some violation of the liquor laws.” State Fifth In Reduction Os Accidents Rate of Decline This Year Heavy, With Only Four States Doing Better Dully Dispatch Bureau. In the Sir Walter Hotel. «!y J. C. BASKEUVILIi Raleigh, Nov. 14.—North Carolina now ranks fifth from the top among the states which have made the big gest reduction in automobile accident deaths so far this year, only four other states having shown a larger percentage in the reduction this year as compared with their record last year, according to the ratings contain ed in the November issue of Public Safety, the monthly publication of the National Safety Council, it was point ed out today by Captain Charles D. Farmer, commander of the State Highway Patrol, and Director Arthur Fulk, of the highway safety division. “North Carolina is not only on the honor roll of the ten states showing the greatest reduction in automobile deaths so far this year, but ranks fifth from the top, showing a reduc tion of 11 per cent this year over last year and only through September,” Captain Farmer pointed out. “The on ly states having a greater percentage of reduction in automobile deaths this year are New Hampshire, with a 26 percent drop, Nevada with a 14 per cent decrease and Connecticut and Wisconsin, with a decrease of 12 per cent each, according to the ratings given to the honor roll states in the November issue of Public Safety. We are hoping that the October, Novem ber and December figures on accid ents will show a still greater decrease in fatal accidents and put North Car olina up nearer the top of the list.” Nor is it any longer true that North Carolina has the largest number of fatal accidents in proportion to the number of gallons of gasoline burned than any other state, although sev eral radio speakers have recently made this statement.
