By J. C. BASKEttVILIi Raleigh, June 12.—The victories of the dry forces in four out, of eight, counties which have voted under the 1937 law on whether or not legal coun ty liquor stores should be establish ed, although these dry victories have not been by very impressive majori ties, is causing considerable! worry among those politcians who have been contending for some years now that sentiment in North Carolina has changed and that the State is now overwhelmingly wet, according to talk heard here. More and more observers are convinced that North Carolina is still fundamentally politically dry and that wet sentiment for the legal sale of liuor exists chiefly in the 23 east ern counties which now have liquor stores, or which have voted to have them, although they also agree that liquor is easily obtainable from boot leggers in almost every county in the State. Dry View Mystifying. Those who really know of condi tions as they actually are instead of as the drys think they are, or want them to be, are unable to understand why the dry forces continue to favor an almost wide-open illegal bootleg ging system over the State to a State Continued on Page Five.)

A squadron of 39 insurgent bomb ers droned over several smaller com munities near Bilbao for 12 hours, raining bombs on the towns and ma chine-gunning defense positions.

OW |StOAIB Amount of Income To De termine Old Age Assist ance Payments Dally Dlfcpavch Harea*, In the Sir Walter Hotel By J. (J. B.VSKEKVIL.I, Raleigh, June 12—Ownership of pro perty will not bar persons 65 years old and older from obtaining old age pensions under the State-Federal old age assistance program, but the in come from such property, if any, will determine the amount of assistance received, Nathan H. Yelton, director of the public assistance division of the Department of Public Welfare, said today. “The fact that a man or woman 65 years of age or older may own some property will not prevent either from receiving {assistance under the old age pensions act, provided the. in come they get from this property is not sufficient to take care of them or amounts to less than S3O a month” Director Yelton said. “I have already had several inquiries from welfare of ficers in different counties concern ing this matter and have told them that the determining factor should be income rather than property owner shJip- “Take for example the case of a man and his wife, 70 years old, who own a small farm or a home, but who get no cash income from either.
