But whichever way it came about, the 48 Senators of the dominant poli tical breed shared 47 committee chair manships and the presidency pro tem pore, at the rate of one per senator.

SOLOliflT FOR LICENSE CUTS Would Like It Done, But Looks Like Can’t Do Without the Money Daily Dispatch Onrean, In the Sir Walter Hotel. By HENIRY AVERILL. Raleigh, Jan. 9. —While Governor Cl(yde Hoey’e recommendation that the price of automobile tags should be still further reduced was perhaps the most widely-cheered section of his inaugural address there now ap pears to be a crystallization of sen timent among legislators that this much - to - be-desired consummation should not be achieved at the expense of reduced highway revenues. There seems to be, too, a general feeling that no further reduction should be allowed in the case of heavy trucks and gasoline tankers, certain ly not at the exuense of the smaller car owners. No legislator who is a politician (and what legislator isn’t?) could be found who would permit use of his name as one who is flatly opposed to tag-reduction, but many of them hedg ed on their endorsement with a num ber of “touts,” “unlesses” and “un tils.” Some said they favored reduction but did not see how it could be ac complished without depleting the high way funds and seriously crippling that department. Others said they would not vote for lower tag prices unless the bill pro vided that the reductions should ap ply only to the smaller passenger au tomobiles. This group, in general, fa vored even higher tag prices for Continued on Page Two.) Even Sit-Down Mediators Must Sit Down \ . Edward C. McDonnell (left) and John E.

Shuffle In Legislators Seems Sure Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. By HENJRY AVERILL. Rleigh, Jan. 9. —First rendered un easy by Governor Hoey’s inaugural address, opponents of reapportion ment of the North Carolina Assembly are frankly worried by the makeup of the committees named in both houses yesterday. Conversely those legislators who favor a new deal in House memberships and senatorial districts are correspondingly elated. The governor’s recommendation that the assembly should carry out the mandate of the Constitution with regard to redistricting was something of a ibombshell to those who have maintained the status quo for more than six years, despite the plain work ing of the State’s organic law. Ap pointment of committees which are preponderantly western and pied montese was an even heavier blow. Lacking any direct information of their views, Senator Edwin C. Gre gory, of Salisbury, and Representative Rupert T. Pickens, Jr., of High Point, were set down by neutral observers as likely to favor reapportionment. These observers noted, too, that the Senate’s Senatorial District commit tee listed only three “down eastern ers” among its eleven members, with an almost identical majority for the west on the House group. Significant to many was the ap pointment on the House committee of Representative C. W. Tatum, of Tyr- Continued on Page Two.) OUR WEATHER MAN FOR NORTH CAROLINA.

Unless more liberal interpretation of the Constitution are forthcoming and business steps up employment, enlargement of legislative powers may ibe undertaken, and budget balancing will be deferred. This was the consensus at the Capi- Hoey Much Pleased At Good Start Daily Dtapateli Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. By J. C. BASKERVILL Raleigh, Jan. 9.—Governor Clyde R. Hoey expressed gratification today at the excellent start which has been made by the General Assembly, at its apparent determination to get down to work as soon as possible in order to get through as soon as possible. Governor Hoey commended Lieute nant Governor W. P. Horton and Speaker of the House R. Gregg Cher ry for their efforts to persuade the members of the Senate and House to stay here on Saturdays and Mondays in order that the legislature may work six days a week instead of only three, the new plan to become effec tive as soon as enough bills have been introduced to justify six day sessions. He also expressed himself as being very pleased with the make-up of the various committees in the Senate and House as announced lute yesterday afternoon. “Judging from the manner in which the legislature has gotten down to work and the splendid spirit of har mony which seems to be prevailing, I am more than ever hopeful for a short session,” Governor Hoey said to day. “I feel that nothing could be more beneficial for the State, both irom a business and political stand point that for us to get back to short legislative sessions again. Long legislative sessions keep the State more or less torn up and in a turmoil and have a ibad influence. “So while we have plenty of serious matters to dispose of in this session, I feel confident that the members of the General Assembly are going to be willing to do everything possible to speed up the session and get it behind us as rapidly as possible.” The General Assembly is taking its usual long week-end this week, due to the fact that not enough bills have been introduced yet to give it any thing to do. So if all the members of both houses should have remained here today, all they could do was to have met and adjourned. It will be at least two weeks yet before enough bills have been intro duced to make it worth while for the assembly to start holding regular ses- Continued on Page Two.)

Mattson, sought + oday to pre vent hijacking of the $24,000 ransom den anded by the kidnaper of his son, Charles, held for the thirteenth day. The physician disclosed fear he might not actually be dealing with his son’s kidnaper by asserting an ad vertisement in the Seattle Daily Times yesterday imploring the ab ductor to “give me information so that I may guard against imposters and hijackers.” The advertisement was addressed to “Mable,” as were four previous notes which have appeared in the news paper’s personal column, and were signed “Ann.” It said: “Mable, we are still waiting. All arrangement have been carried cut in accordance with instructions in notes received. Be certain to give me information so that I may gnard against imposters and hijacks rs, and be more specific in your instructions.” Reliable sources interpreted the ad vertisement to mean that the ransom for Charles’ release has not been paid, though they speculated efforts to pay it may have been made.” MAN BEING HELD IN GREENVILLE ASSAULT Taxi Operator Lured to Country and Beaten and Robbed; In Seri ous Condition Greenville, N.
