PAGE TWO WILL MAKE RULING ON BUSPURCHASES School Commission Wants to Use $150,000 of 1939 Allotment Now Daily Diapnteh Barenm, In the Sir Walter Hotel. By J. O. BASKERVILL Raleigh, May 3—Whether or not the State School Commission can spend $750,000 in the purchase of new school buses right now, which is $150,000 more than the appropriation made by the 1937 General Assembly, or wheth er it must not exceed the $600,000 fig ure, is expected to be decided today in a special opinion by Attorney Gen eral A. A. F. Seawell. The board of awards Friday decided to hold up the awarding of all contracts until an of ficial opinion could be obtained from the attorney general. There were indications here today that Attorney General Seawell will hold that the State School Commission cannot re-vamp its budget, as it had proposed to do and use money set aside for library and other purposes for the purchase of new school buses, but that it can anticipate its 1938- 39 appropriation to the extent of $150,000 and thus buy $750,000 worth of new school buses at this time. It is known that Attorney General Sea well held a long conference with Gov ernor Clyde R. Hoey and State Sup erintendent of Public Instruction Clyde A. Erwin Saturday afternoon, at which the various angles of the matter were discussed. Governor Hoey is understood to have expressed the opinion that it is very necessary to buy these additional school buses ait this time, if away can be found to find the extra $150,000 needed, also that in his belief this amount can be taken from the 1938-39 appropriation for school buses, which is likewise $600,000, and hence be carried as ad vance out of the expected general fund surplus. The school commission maintains that in view of the higher cost of school buses, rising prices and the great need for new buses to replace cld and unsafe buses, it will be good economy now to buy some 900 new ones with an expenditure of $750,000, than only the 750 new buses that can be had for $600,000. The commission maintains that it would really re place 1,000 old buses this year which are between five and 10 years old and which are both unsafe and uneconomi cal to operate. Highway Workers Now Sure of Jobs (Continued from rage One.) It is already predicted that Oscar Pitts, who was acting director of the prison division under the old commis sion, is definitely in line for retention as executive director of the system after July 1, since it is believed that when the new chairman and commis sioners see the work he has done and is doing they will decide that a better man for the job cannot be found. Some changes are believed likely in the personnel of some of the other prison offices, however. It is also believed that Charles Ross will be retained as counsel for the commission and head the legal divi sion, that Sam Smith will remain as chief of the assounting division. Some even think that IV. Vance Raise now has a good chance to remain as chief highway engineer. Agreement Could Be Had If Bill Os FDR Were Dropped (Continued from Page One.) ment for a committee vote prior to May 18, the day set by the members. However, Senator Connally, Demo crat, Texas, one of the principal com mittee opponents of the bill, said he was willing to vote any time. Some of the other opposition leaders have ex pressed the same attitude, in view of the committee’s present ten to eight line-up against the bill. While the committee continued pri vate discussion of the measure, op ponents organized for further public protest against it. Senator Copeland, Democrat, New York, said he and Senators Byrd, Democrat, Virginia; Gerry, Rhode Is land Democrat, and McCarran, Demo crat, Nevada, would address a Phil adelphia mass meeting May 10. Biggest Spanish Battleship To Shell Rebels at Bilbao (Continued Iron. Page One.) .nine British freighters had left, or soon would leave, the Basque capital with seme 5,000 women and children. With General Emilio Mola’s insur gents reported only eight miles from Bilbao, there was no certainly that more of the populace, swollen to at least 350,000 by the influx of refugees, could be taken to safety. Wall St. Ordered Labor Agreement (Continued from Pago One.) gun specifically is mentioned as pri marily responsible for the mandate MORGAN’S EXPERIENCE J. P. Morgan, for one thing, got some useful information as to the value of favorable public opinion while a witness before the Fecora banking and currency committee in vestigation in Washington a couple of years ago. He freely admitted that it was the firet time he ever had been brought into close contact with the rank and file of ordinary folk. Newspapermen talkewto him personally. News photo graphers snap-shotted him regardless of his own inclination in the matter. A midget was slapped down into his lap. •In short, he was humanized. Thai undoubtedly had a deal to do with his present pliability —in Myron. Taylor’s background. A TACTICAL. GAIN The success of the Lewis organiza ers in their negotiations with General Motors also unquestionably has had its part in influencing the steel mag nates. Moreover, the smaller steel com panies have profited by harmonious relations with labor. Indeed, the little fellows are said to be a bit worried, lest they lose some of their advantage as a result of the big U. S. Steel’s friendlier contact with its workers. HARLAN REACTS The La Follette committee’s inquiry into large-scale employers’ activities in labor’s ranks has further perturb ed Wall Street advisers of industries. It was bad enough to have them publicized as spying on unionism. The later Harlan county revela tions, involving murder, horrify even some very conservative employers elsewhere. They don’t think that they ought to be confused with Harlan county medievalism, but they’re a fraid that they will be. Waynick Takes Up Purchasing Duties (Continued from Page One.) production costs, the supply and de mand for hundieds of other com modities, from castor oil to coffins I am going to try to learn as much about these things as I tried to learn about the highways of the State when I was with the road department.” One of the biggest things on Way nick’s doorstep, or desk top, now, is l the purchasing of from $600,000 worth to $750,000 worth of new school buses for the State School Commission. The awardlr. ~ cf tracts for these buses is now awaiting an opinion by the attorney general as to whether the school commission may over-speed its bus appropriation by $150,000 and buv $750,000 worth of new buses right away. This question is expected to be decided today or tomorrow. The main job of the director of the purchase and .contract division is to buy the various supplies and com modities needed by the State at the lowest prices possible in keeping with the quality needed. This job is regard ed as becoming increasingly difficult right now due to steadily advancing prices in almost every field and to in creased demands for many commodi ties. The reputation Waynick made as highway chairman for getting more road work and roads per dollar than 'any one else had ever gotten before, and for driving hard and close bar gains, is expected to make him just as valuable in the purchasing division. Decision Delayed By Supreme Court On Security Law (Continued from Page One.) under the act, and that “if such legis lation is adopted, it will render un necessary any further consideration of the question involved in this case”. The court’s action on social se curity made it possible that the tri bunal will decide at the same time separate cases involving the unem ployment insurance and old age pen sion provisions of the security law. Arguments on the unemployment insurance section already have been heard. The justices will listen to de bate on the old age pension provision tomorrow and Wednesday. [ Ymi’rtTellingM*l\ -■ • By WILLIAM RITT Central Press Writer The Federal government, which has been very diligent in the estab lishment of departments and bureaus to instruct the citizenry how to do everything from planting rhubarb to making toy animals out of pipe clean ers, has overlooked an important item: the general public does not yet know how to fold a road map. This is not the general public’s fault, for the average road map is con structed along the generous lines of a circus tent. It is easy enough to unfold a road map. All you do is grasp one corner firmly, stick your hand out of the car window and give the map a cou ple of shakes. Like the mainsail of a clipper ship, the map will unravel itself in the brisk breeze. Road maps were invented as a means to instruct the tourist on, how to get to whe 1 he was going but this idea, apparer. has long since been discarded. It is almost impossible to locate any given community on a modern road map because all the space is taken up showing the sites of barbe cue stands gind roadside taverns where the tourist may acquire a museum piece in the form of a sand wich and the world’s worst cup of coffee —at metropolitan hotel prices. The detours shown on the road maps we have had occasion to use (have been absolutely correct except those along the route we were travel ing. Some day all roads in America will be perfected and then a road map will he accurate and permanent. How ever, ly that distant day the chances are that the auto will become obsolete and all our travel will Ibe by airplane.
