(Central Press) Legislature Not To End Next Week Unsafe Speed Would B e Necessary i f Pending Bills Are Disposed Os Dnfly Dispatch Bnrenv. In the Sir Walter Hotel. By J. C. BASKERVILI, Raleigh, March 12.—Adjournment of the General Assembly by Thursday, March 18, the date already set for the legislative machinery to grind to a stop, or even ;ly the end of the week, is now regarded as almost an impos sibility, due to the many important Statewide bills still to be acted upon in the House or Senate and to the hundreds of other bills either still be fore committees or on the calendars. More than 100 public- and local bills were on the House calendar when it met today, while the Senate also had a heavy calendar as a result of the more than 100 bills the Senate passed yesterday and Wednesday. But in spite of the speed being shown by the House and the tremendous pressure being maitained in the boiler of the House locomotive by Speaker-Engi neer R. Gregg Cherry, few observers see how it will be possible for the leg islative train to reach its destination —adjournment—by the end of the next week. “If the General Assembly adjourns even by next Saturday, it will either have to kill and pass bills much fas ter than is safe for itself or the State, or else adjourn with a hundred or more bills not even reached —and eith er of these alternatives is bad,” a veteran legislative observer said to day. “It had better stay here a few days longer and proceed a little more carefully and cautiously rather than rush through things too fast.” Even if the House and Senate should manage to clear their calen dars by next Thursday or Saturday, it will be at least weeks yet before the enrolling department can get the hundreds of bills copied and ratified, it is , pointed out. So the chances are that the assembly may have to remain in session' for several days waiting for the enrolling office to copy the last pages of the ibills, so the lieutenant governor and speaker can sign them and the two houses ratify them. The enrolling clerks can then copy all of the bills later on. The enrolling of fice is now about two weeks behind in coppying bills for ratification and has fully 100 bills it has not yet been able to cop and send down for rati- Oontinued on Page Two.)

South Leading Nation In Growth Now, Babson Says Rapidly Overcoming Handicaps of Former Years And Industries Are Springing Up Right and Left; Ad vises Young Man of Fu ture To “Go South” BY ROGER W. BABSON, Copyright 1937, Publishers Financial Bureau, Inc. Babson Park, Fla., March 12.—“1 ain a young man starting out for my self. I want to go to a section which is growing. What part of America do you think has the greatest future?” This is a question which I am often asked. Os course, the answer depends largely upon the character, health, and education of the particular young man asking the question. However, for an average young man, here is my answer —try the South or Canada. South Long Handicapped. Readers all know the history of the. South pretty well. With the ending of slavery, the states below the Mason and Dixon line had to develop a com pletely new economy. They needed all HENDERSON, N. C., FRIDAY < AFTERNOON, MARCH 12 1937 U. S. SEEKS QUICK REPLY BY BERLIN ON LATE ATTACKS Ambassador Dodd Tells Foreign Minister of Ger many Relations Be ing Strained INSULTS IN PRESS ANGER AMERICANS Envoy Finally Obtains In terview With Von Neurath To Lay Matter Before Nazi Official on Orders from State Department in Washington Berlin, March 12. —(AP) —Unit- ed States Ambassador William E. Dodd explained to the German foreign minister today German press attacks on United States citizens and conditions tend to “becloud German-American rela tions.” Without demanding formal apology for remarks by German newspapers the international “Laguardia in cident,” the ambassador visited Baron Konstantin von Neurath on instruc tions from Washington and called his attention to the published matter. Simultaneously Boris Smolar, na turalized American who is chief Eu ropean correspondent for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, sought American consular aid to avoid a police order directing him to leave the country within three days. He said he did not believe the ol der was connected with the Laguardia affair. Berlin, March 12.—(AP) —The Unit ed States, it was learned today, will seek a quick response from Germany to the strong 'protest Ambassador Dodd was ordered to make against re cent anti-American attacks in the German press. The German foreign office agreed to receive the American envoy at 5:30 p. m., (11:30 a. m. eastern time) but the embassy, it was learned, was mak ing an effort to have the time of the audience advanced. The effort to set forward the inter view with Baron Konstantin von Neurath, foreign minister, was said to have been made so the United States Department soon may know the Reich’s attitude to the protest. The ambassador, it was believed, might bolster his protest not only (Continued on Page Three.) Townsend Is Given Month In Contempt Washington, March 12 (AP) — • Dr. Francis Townsend was sent enced to one month in jail and $lO9 fine today for contempt of the House of Representatives. The old age pension leader’s conviction resulted from his sud den departure from the House committee hearing last summer. In the midst of questioning on his pension organization, Townsend jammed on his hat and stalked from the committee room. Subsequently he was cited by the House to the Federal grand jury. Two of his aides, John Keifer, of Chicago, and Clinton Wunder, of New York, pleaded guilty to the same contempt charge of which Townsend was convicted, but were given suspended sent ences after apologizing to the House. Townsend’s attorney announced an appeaL and the court continued Town send’s SI,OOO -bond. the help that the North could give them. Yet the Reconstruction period, with the South dominated by North ern racketeers, is a blot on the his tory of the nation. The short-sighted actions .of the Republican party dur ing the post-war period were instru mental in moulding the politically “Solid Democratic South.” These same “reconstruction” policies also held back the industrialization of the New South for a generation. With the in dustrial organization which the North already had built up, this handicap seemed destined to keep the South primarily a rural section. Something happened in the North early in this century, however, which gave the South its real business start. (Continued on Page Four.)

DeVaney, president of the recently organized National Lawyers Guild, ap peared before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the third day of its hearings on President Roosevelt’s plan to reorganize the court. Senator Norris, Independent, Ne braska, told the Senate both legisla tive remedies' and constitutional amendment should be tried.

Congress and the President have made it possible now for a justice, wiho has served 10 years arid is past 70, to retire on full pay if he chooses. Six of the present ones are eligible to do many as six, or fewer, con ceivably might do it, enabling the White House to alter the bench’s com plexion, by new appointments, to its liking. That would end the pending controversy at least for the time be ing. It is not likely that this would be Continued on Page Two.)
