The State, he said went through the depression without defaulting on its obligations, and “actually reduced her debt in a substantial way.’’ Instead of 62 counties being in de fault, as was the case at the peak of the depression, only 26 are now so listed, and ten of those have refund ing plans approved by a majority of the creditors, but not carried through he said.

DEMOCRATS SPLIT AS MUCH AS EVER Breach in Congress Is No More Healed Than Be fore Court Vote By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist * Washington, Aug. 11.—The seventy fifth Congress has teen drawing to ward the end of its first session with none too salubrious an outlook for Democratic peace in the hereafter. Approximately one-third of the Democratic senators are in a state of insurrection against the White House. Cleavage in the ranks of Demo cratic representatives is not so ac curately definable. The proportion of insurgents certainly is not so large as in the Senate, but the number is con siderable. Moreover, the malcontents are largely influential old-timers. These gentry think they have their respective home districts sewed up tight and are correspondingly dispos ed to be independent. Harrison Bolts. Senator Harrison bolted the admin istration, along with other southern senators, on the wage-hour bill, al though it was passed anyhow by a good majority. Harrison did it in no half-hearted fashion, either. Pat can make as cutting a speech as any in dividual in the Senate and he estab lished a record, even for himself, on the wage-hour issue—against the ad ministration. The Mississippi senator is an out and-out loss to the New Dealers, too. .Statesmen like Senators Glass, Byrd, Bailey and George have been in re volt all along, but Pat has supported of New Deal policies, although no one considered him in real sympathy with them.
