By J. C. BASKERVILI, Raleigh, March 11—The bills to cre ate a new highway safety department, under which the State highway patrol, the drivers’ license division and a new bureau of identification would be grouped and administered by a com missioner of hjghway safety appoint ed by the governor, have been hang ing on a snag for about two weeks now, it was learned from an authori tative source tpday. This snag seems to be a growing spirit of opposition in the House to the creation of any new commissions or to any new ap pointive jobs to be filled by the gov ernor. This spiiit is being helped along both by the Department of Revenue, which does not want to lose control of the highway patrol and the drivers’ license division, also by the State Highway and Public Works Commission, which would like to havfe the highway patrol, at least, trans ferred back under its protective wing. Accordingly, it is now expected that when the bills are finally reported in by the committee on roads, they will be amended merely to transfer the ac tive direction of the highway patrol, the drivers’ license division and the proposed new bureau of identification to the governor’s office —but still with a provision that the governor may ap point some one to act for him in sup ervising the direction of those agen cies. An effort may be made to push (Continued on Page Seven.) to dawdle away valuable time in a series of useless wrangles over even the simplest measures. » Qn top of that it seems that every member of the lower body has sent forward a whole deskful of new bills. It really looks as though some of the “boys” have been holding out all ses sion just for the fun of seeing how congested they can make the calendar At the .beginning of this week there were approximately one hundred bills to be disposed of, and the number has been mounting dizzily ever since. Wednesday’s last-moment avalanche brought the total to approximately Continued on Page Two.)

Raleigh, March 11.—Representative W .E. Fenner, of Nash, along with a number of other sponsors, has intro duced a ‘bill which he feels will pro hibit unfair competition in the tobac co warehousing industry of the State. Like so many other bills introduced at this session, it creates a new com mission, but it is a commission which will serve without pay and sponsors of the bill hope that this feature will steer it safely past the opposition that has gradually developed to any and all hills which set up new agen cies particularly those agencies which call for the expenditure of pub lic funds. Mr. Fenner’s bill would set up a commission of five members to be ap pointed by the governor for terms of three years; one member to be ap pointed from each of the five to bacco belts of the State. All members must be warehousemen. The commission would register all warehousemen and no one would be (Continued on Page Two) Progress In Electricity Is Forecast j, ...

BASKERVILL Raleigh, March 11.—The cancella tion of the loan authorized some months ago for the Franklin County Electric Membership Corporation by the Federal Rural Electrification Ad ministration, and with which it was proposed to build some 125 miles of rural electric lines, is regarded here as an ind'cation of peace and friend liness between the Federal REA and the North Carolina Rural Electrifica tion Authority, instead of an act of unfriendliness. For the cancellation of this loan is interpreted as indicat ing that the Federal REA now has no intention of trying to build rural lines in Franklin county parallel to those already built by the Carolina Power and Light Company, as it attempted to do in Johnston county. “There is no longer any need for the (Continued on Page Four.)

S. Washington, March 11 (AP) —Congressmen heard from a youthful appearing lawyer in the Justice Department today that they have power to reduce the Supreme Court to a “mere phantom court” under the Con stitution. Assistant Attorney General Robert Jackson, advocating the President’s court reorganization plan before the Senate Judiciary Committee, said this power was “not an accident,” but was “included in the Constitution to “en able Congress to check judicial abuses and usurpations if the same should occur.” Jackson said there were numerous difficulties in the way of a constitu tional amendment to “correct” court decisions, and said “judges who re sort to a tortured construction of the Constitution may torture an amend ment.” “You cannot amend a state of mind and mental attitude of hostility to excise of governmental power, and of indifference to the demands which democracy attempting to survive in dustrialism makes upon its govern ment.” Attorney General Cummings ap peared before the committee yester day as the fjgst witness for the Pres ident’s program.
