The hour bill went to the Senate and the child labor mea sure to the House. * With many industries exempted, though sponsors said the measure was B tiU “ a step in the right direction,” the representatives voted to place a 55-hour limit on work of men and 48 hours on work of women. Now there is no limit on hours for men in any work, with a 55-hour limit for wfimen. The child labor measure prohibits children under 16, instead of 14, from working in factories, and bans those under 16 from certain listed hazard ous occupations. The Senate revived, then passed on second reading, 35 to 10, the Halstead bill amended to provide a $5,000,000 bond is-ue for secondary road work.

By J. €. BASKEIIVILL Raleigh, March 2 —Governor Clyde R. Hoey has already made enough members of the House “see the light” with regard to the administration old age pensions and aid to dependent children bill to insure its passage by the end of this week, probably sooner, observers today were convinced, de spite the fact that Representative D. L. Ward is still opposed to the bill as passed by the Senate and is going to continue to fight it. Representative Ward is in favor of reducing the size of the appropriation for old age pensions and dependent children by $2,000,000, so that the counties will not have to levy any ad ditional taxes to participate in the (Continued on Page Four.)

The naval minister made his state ment during a discussion of the tac tics of a naval war in the Pacific that brought out such detailed points the budget sub-committee decided to go into secret session to continue the debate on the war appropriation. Shortly before the admiral took the floor of the diet, the war minister, General Sugiyama, disclosed the Ja panese army was concentrating on gas and other chemicals as war ma terials to make up for numerical in feriority. Japan, the naval minister said, was ready to accept an invitation from a third power to discuss arms limita tions with the United States, but would not propose such a parley un less there seemed to be a definite pro spect for an amicable settlement. FREE TEXTS WILL Thus Another Campaign Pledge of Governor * Will Be Redeemed Dally Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, March 2.—'Passed over by the Senate last week, the free text book bill sponsored by Governor Hoey as redemption of one of his principal campaign promisee is certain to be come a law some time this week, practically every experienced observer here agrees. The measure went through the House without an opposing vote, and it is the general opinion it would have had almost as clear sailing in the Senate had it not been tossed in to that body while the “revenue and appropriation jitters” were afflicting almost every set of senatorial nerves. Now that the money and spending bills are out of the way, a return to normalcy is indicated and with the week-end rest to restore their usual equanimity the senators are almost sure to fall in with the governor’s program. The chief executive has lost none of his enthusiasm for free textbooks and is calmly confident there will be no hitch in enactment of a law au thorizing them. He has pointed out that the cost of the entire program is only what it takes to operate the school system for three days. He feels that this com paratively small sum would be more than well spsnt in providing free text books. Governor Hoey likewise points to the fact that authority exists for ai bond issue to finance the project, all that is needed is legislation directing the issue. He adds that there is some $200,000 available already, this being a sum derived from rentals last year.

Raleigh, March 2. —Itemous T. Val entine, of Nash county, may be the candidate of the “Liberal Democrats” of North Carolina for governor :n the 1940 primaries, according to reports going the rounds here. It is known that a group of “liberal” Democrats who supported Dr. Ralph M. McDon ald for the Democratic nomination for governor last spring and summer held a meeting here last week at which they discussed the outlook for the coming three years and at which most of those present decided that Valen tine seemed to be the best bet as their candidate for governor in 1940. Valentine was assistant campaign manager and chief field general of the McDonald campaign last spring and summer and is admitted to have a large following among the “liberal Democrats” in the eastern part of the State. However, until this meeting was held last week, the belief in most (Continued on Page Three.) Italy Defies Arming Plans For Britain Rome, March 2. — (AP) —Fascist Italy decreed virtual lifetime military service today for all citizens between the ages of 18 and 55 in a direct chal lenge to the threat of Great Britain’s vast re-armament program. Declaring “even the remote possi bility of limitation of armaments now has been definitely excluded,” the Fascist grand council plunged Italy into the swift world arms race with a five-point plan to increase her ar maments and war forces. At the same time, the official com munique, issued after the near all night session of the governing body of Fascism, stressed “realistic” coopera tion of Italy with the Fascist bloc of nations, particularly Nazi Germany. In addition to what was generally considered the direct answer to Bri tish re-arming, a veiled hint to Bri tain to consider Italy power in her foreign program, was seen in the council’s comment on the Anglo-Ital ian gentlemen’s agreement.

Conciliatory Front For Both Sides Brings Calm In Nation’s Strike War Opposing Forces Clash Over Hours and Wages But Without Physical Violence MORE PAY, SHORTER HOURS FOR STEELS Six Companies Voluntarily Cut Hours and Raise Pay; Despite New Troubles, Government Labor Trou ble Shooter Considers Sit uation “Normal” Detroit, Mich., March 2 (AP) — A sitdown strike closed the main plant of the Murray Corporation of America, automobile body man ufacturers, this afternoon. The United Automobile Workers of America said 5,000 of the 6,500 employees, were participating in in the strike. (By The Associated Press). A concilitatory attitude by employee and employer alike eased the tense ness of disputes along the far-flung strike front today. Opposing forces clashed over wages hours, union recognition and other issues without resorting to physical violence. In many instances indus trial management exercised only pas sive resistance to the sitdown strike methods. Picketing generally was carried on in orderly fashion. The Carnegie Illinois Steel Corpora tion’s decision to bargain with the C. I. O. signalled the first such move in years between the steel industry and organized labor.

Thirty alleged plotters, including the Marquis de San Vicente, were seiz ed at Valencia and many others were arrested in Madrid and the province of Almeria. The Almeria arrests were consider ed of particular importance. The in surgent southern army is aiming for that city in moving eastward from conquered Malaga. , Official reports said, however, the insurgents had fallen back before a government counter advance, which carried the government troops to the vicinity of the Granada-Mortil high way.

March 2 (AP) —President Roosevelt advised Congress today to study the NRA for guidance in writing new laws on wages, hours and other objectives of the invalid ated recovery agency. He submitted a report by his special committee on industrial analysis summarizing a study of NRA started in June, 1935. He recommended Congress give the document “most serious considera tion.” He made no specific suggestions for new laws. Their report, however, set out several committee conclusions ap plicable to any future program simi lar to that of NRA. It said, in effect: ♦Negotiations for agreements on trade practices and labor provisions should be handled by one adminis trative body and compliance handled by another. Maximum hour standards should strike a balance between production of goods and increasing leisure for workers, so when goods would be worth more to the worker than leis ure, hours should not be shortened. Minimum wage standards should be fixed according to permanent princi ples. Fair trade practice rules should be started by the industries effected. Any relaxation of anti-trust laws should be by legislative action. The controversy raging over the PrfjaidenjL’s judiciary (reorganization proposal found opposition elements in Congress lining up a solid front.

Vandenburg’s amendment would eli minate a provision to give the Presi dent authority to decide what commit tee, if any, American vessels could transport to belligerents in time of war. The rest of the bill, totally manda tory, was termed by the Michigan sen ator “as complete a degree of quaran tine from other people’s wars as it is possible to write.” Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, contended, however, it would “trans fer the war to our ports.” Borah said the bill would “inevitab (Continued on Page Six.)
