PAGE TWO OLD SANTA CLAUS REMEMBERS HR i l Many Baskets Distributed To Needy in City at Christmas Time Santa Claus did not forget the poor and needy in Henderson this Christ mas. Countless numbers of baskets were distributed by thoughtful, more fortunate individuals and organiza tions to add to the Christmas cheer and to benefit those who would have been without the good things of the season otherwise. • In addition to the 53 families that were provided for in the Daily Dis patch-fialvation Army Christmas Op portunities offered through the paper, the Army itself distributed a great number of baskets. Also some 500 children received toys, candies and fruits from The Salvation Army Christmas tree held in the hall at South Henderson Fri day night. It was one of the biggest occasions of the kind the Army has undertaken in this city. Some 15 families of World War veterans were given gifts of various kinds and fruits, candies and nuts, together with toys for the children, by the ladies of the American Legion Auxiliary. It wag also understood that many families were remembered by indi vidual Rotarians, many of whom pro vided for families themselves and on their own responsibility. TD START WORK ON PRISON STRUCTURE r Industries Building Will House Various Activi ties at Penitentiary Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. By J. C. BASKERVILL, Raleigh, Dec. 26—The State High way and Public Works Commission is going ahead with its plans for the erection of a new building within the State Prison enclosure to house the various prison industries now estab lished at the prison, and those which will be established later, Chairman Capus M. Waynick said today. It has not yet been decided just how exten sive this building will be or how much of the $200,006 allotment recently made by Governor J. C. B. Ehring haus and the Budget Bureau will be used for the building and how much for industrial equipment, but present indications are that at least SIOO,OOO Will be spent on the building. When this building is completed, it will house the prison printing plant, the mattress factory, the automobile license tag factory, a chair factory (for prison use only) and the other in dustries already conducted at thie Central Prison here. It is also plan ned to have several other new prison industries in this building, such as a clothing factory, where all the cloth ing needed to supply the more than 9,000 prisoners will be made, also uni forms for guards and employers as well as the “going away” suits given to all prisoners upon their discharge, and probably either a shoe factory, to make shoes for the prisoners upon their discharge, and probably either a shoe factory, to make shoes for the prisoners, or at least a large, central ehoe repair shop. Consideration is also being given to the installation of cotton spinning machinery and of looms, so that the prison can spin its own yarn and then manufacture it into cloth need ed for clothing and into thousands of blankets needed throughout the prison system. No decision has yet been reached with regard to this project, but it is known that to have the in dorsement of some of the large cotton mill owners in the State. Theee new prison industries are not only being planned to provide goods needed by the prison, but also to give employment to the prisoners and to teach them trades by means of which they can earn a living after they are dtiadharged from prison, Waynick pointed out. Car Owners Warned To Get Plates (Continued from Page One.) 000 to the same date last year, at least 400,000 sets of licenses remain to be sold between now and next Fri day if every car owner in the State expects to get new plates before the time limit expires, it was pointed out. “We are pleased, of course, that the car owners have been buying the new license plates as fast as they have this year—but there is still going to be a tremendous rush the last week,” Mc- Laughlin said. “For while we are equipped and organized to sell be tween 50,000 and 60,000 new license plates a day, we cannot possibly sell 400,000 plates in four or five days. Yet it is evident that almost that many car owners are going to wait until the last week in the month, with o*iy four business day s in it, to try to get their 1937 license plates. The result is go ing to be that some of these car own ers are not going to be able to get their new plates »by January. That, in turn, is going to mean that some of them are either going to hav to do without their cars for a few days or else face the possibility of arrest for driving with old license plates.” 1936 Total 550,026. All records were broken for the sale of automobile licenses this year, when the sale of 1936 licenses went to 650,- 022, McLaughlin pointed out. It is not expected that all of those who pur chased 1936 license plates will buy 1987 plates right at first, of course, aince the use of some cars is seasonal so that some owners wait until spring or summer before buying new licen ses. But all cars in use after January 3 mils?, have no.v 19C7 . “FORGOTTEN MEN” ARE INVESTIGATED Many in State Prison May Get Time Shortened as Result of Probe Dally Dispntrh Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel.

This inten sive and exhaustive investigation of the “forgotten men” in the State Pri son system was started at the in stigation of Governor Ehringhaus and for the past several months virtually the entire staff of the parole office has concentrated on it in order to get it completed before he retired. The investigation of the cases of these 1,305 “forgotten men” in the State Prison, serving sentences for felonies, was star-ted back in July, some six months ago, Gill revealed. Up to December 1, a total of 1,190 of these “forgotten men” had been in terviewed, their cases studied and files set up on them. Since that date 115 men additional prisoners have been interviewed by Commissioner Gill and his assistant and complete files prepared, so that there is no lon ger a single felon in the prison sys tem who lias not been personally in terviewed, his case record and family history studied and investigated and ready for review by Commissioner Gill and Governor Ehringhaus. New Men Interviewed. Since October 1, 1935, every new prisoner admitted to the prison who has been convicted of a felony, has been interviewed as coon as admitted, and a file .set up containing all desired information concerning his past life and record, Gill pointed out, so that complete records are kept at all times and are available at all times on all felons admitted to prison. As a result, 1,576 prisoners convicted of felonies have been interviewed and indexed, with complete files on their cases, since October 1, 1935. Benefits of Inquiry. “But this investigation has accom plished several things. First, it has shown these prisoners that the gov ernor and tjie paroles office are in terested in them, and that they are) receiving the same consideration as are all the other prisoners. In the sec ond place, it has resulted in the set ting up of complete files on every pri soner in the prison system convicted of a felony, and assures him that his case will be carefully reviewed by the paroles office at least once a year and that as soon as he is eligible for pa role that his case will be presented to the governor on its merits.

A PARADE AFTER ALL President Roosevelt did not want a procession this time. His idea was to renew his oath of office with a maximum (or minimum) of Andrew Jacksonian simplicity and waive the parade as unseasonable. Washington’s civic bodies immedi ately let out a, terrific howl. A compromise was effected—a com promise giving the civic bodies prac tically everything that they demanded. It will be a corking big parade— army, navy and marine corps; tanks and artillery; cadets from West Point; middies from Annapolis, and 48 gov ernor-loads of state executives, each executive-load with a couple of sup plementary autos, carrying members /of gubernatorial staffs —in all 144 loads of state executives and their assistants, not counting the federal military.

MCUNOra Fight ini Prospect May Reach Even to Demand for Separate Unit Dolly Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. By J. C. BASKERVILL Raleigh, Dec. 26. —The three newest developments in the intra-mural tem pest which is still sizzling among State College alumni, students and fa culty members as a result of the ac tion by President Frank P. Graham, of the University of North Carolina in refusing to approve the new con tract offered Coach Heartly W. (Hunk) Anderson by the athletic council, are as follows: 1. The fight on the part cf the alumni who want Anderson retained as coach will be taken before the •board of trustees of the University, when it meets here in January. 2. State College alumni are going to fight for complete local self-gov ernment for State College both before the board of trustees and in the Gen eral Assembly, if necessary, so that the actions of the administrative dean faculty and other administrative bodies will not be subject to veto by the president of the Consolidated University, as is now the case. 3. The State College alumni are not going to join in any move by Univer sity of North Carolina alumni or oth ers either to oust President Graham as president of the consolidated uni versity or to fight consolidation. The refusal by President Graham to approve the new contract offered to Coach Anderson by the Athletic Coun cil is not the cause of this decision by alumni to carry their fight for the retention of Anderson before the board of trustees or to seek to curb the power which President Graham is exercising or at least attempting to exercise over affairs at State College, many of the alumni who met here Tuesday night to discuss the situation pointed out. Nor were all of them merely interested in the athletic pro gram at State. Most of them were just as much interested in the academic growth and development of the col lege as in the football team and ex pressed the conviction that Colonel J. W .Harrelson, the administrative dean and the faculty, should be permitted to work out the policies and future program of State College without dic tation and interference from Presi dent Graham. It was intimated that President Graham has overruled sev eral recommendations made by the faculty and Dean Harrelson with re gard to academic matters just as he overruled the election of “Hunk’’ An derson by the athletic council. There is now no doubt of the fact that the athletic council, which is charged by the board of trustees with the management of the athletic de partment of the college with power to hire and fire coaches and award new contracts to those in the department, formally elected Anderson as coach for another year at its meeting on December 14, and that this action was approved by Dean Harrelson. The vote of the council was 6 to 3 in favor of offering Anderson a contract for another year, also in favor of mak ing J. L. Von Glahn, Director of Ath letics and Dr. R. R. Sermon, at pres ent holding the title of Director of Athletics, basketball and track coach Virtually all of the alumni who at tended the meeting here Tuesday night agree with Dave Clark, Char lotte alumnus who is leading the pres ent fight to retain Anderson, that this action by the athletic council and its approval by Dean Harrelson, means that Anderson has already been elect ed for another year, despite the fact that President Graham has set the action aside and refused to approve it. They also agree with Clark that the matter must be taken before the entire board of trustees, if not into the courts, in order to test the author ity of President Graham to overrule official action taken by an official •agency of State College. The pro-Anderson and anti-Graham faction, composed now of students and faculty members, as well as of alumni, maintain that President Gra ham, when he realized that the An derson faction had won in the ath letic council, decided to air the entire matter before the faculty council, in the hope that faculty council would overrule the athletic council and re commend the ousting of Anderson. It is now an admitted fact, however, that after parading the entire An deraon-Dawe Clark-Dr. Sermon fuss before the faculty council for three days, during which more than 30 wit nesses were heard, the hearing was adjourned before any vote wag or could be taken, with the result that the faculty council never passed on the questions involved at all It is maintained by those in a position to know that the council OQd 7t04 in favor of retaining Coach Anderson “?uw V ° r ° f the * ction by „ C ° U * nCi1 ’ but that Fresi dent Graham refused to let the coun cii vote.

BASKEBVIIiL, Raleigh, Dec. 24—Senator John Sprunt Hill, of Durham, personally “dry” and for years one of the most liberal “angels” the prohibition forces ever had in North Carolina, who led the fight for a Statewide liquor con trol law in the 1935 General Assem bly, is reported to be threatening to go over to the “dry” side again unless this legislature enacts a Statewidb liquor law that will give the State some of the revenue from its sale.
