PAGE TWO Capital Gossip BY HENRY AVERILL Raleigh. Feb, 17.—Most obvious bid for newspaper publicity made in a long time was the five-page typewrit ten statement handed out to news paper men when Fred Erwin Beal, North Carolina's most tallyhooed con vict. arrived here Tuesday to give him self up. Members of the Beal defense com mittee and of his legal staff must have taken news men for very unsop hisicate suckers it they thought for a minute the reporters would believe that Beal had any real part in pre par at ion of the lengthy handout. Beal is a typical cotton mill hand, one look at him is enough to show that, and while cotton mill hands are good people and all that, there are few, if any, of them who talk like this: "What I am doing today is merely carrying out my steadfast desire since the days of the Gastonia trial, name ly, to face squarely (note that the infinitive isn't even split) the issues raised by my arrest and sentence, and to erase the blot on the record of the American judicial system implicit in my conviction.” Look that over —“steadfast desire,” “erase the blot," "implicit in my con viction.” If Beal himself wrote any part of that, maybe we’d all better go to Soviet Russia for an education. Reports from the western part of the state are that Solcitor Zeb Nettles, of the nineteenth judicial district, is certain to oppose Judge A. Hall John ston, a Hoey appointee, in this spring’s primary. Representative Ronald E. Finch, of Black Mountain, was in Raleigh Tues day. He wouldn’t commit himself on the subject of running again for the House from Buncombe, tut did not leave the impression that he will not be a candidate. Nash’s Bill Fenner and Claude Aber nathy formed quite a pair in the 1937 House. They will in all likelihood try again for the 1939. legislature, though neither is doing any talking for pub lication.

He agreed that, perhaps, an SBOO,- 000.000 American navy is needed. What he asked was: Why is it needed, and how is it go ing to be used? We all know that the international outlook is bilious.

Or are we creating it It) enable us to recommend ourselves as a formidable ally to other powers thn. we may chance to consider in the right?—when the mix-up does come. Up To Congress? Gen. Hagood does not want to leave this issue to the President to decide. It is a constitutional principle that the President cannot declare war; the declaration must be congressional Still, it is a .commonplace that presi dential policy generally is such that, when the time comes, Congress has no choice. Basically, constitutionally,* it is up to Congress. “Well, then,” urges Gen. Hagood, "let Congress assert itself before the last minute.” “Let the President tell Congress what his aims are,” demands Senator Hiram W. Johnson. “No!” answers Gen. Hagood, in ef ect.

The near balance for the fiscal year between general fund receipts and disbursement indicates that there is only a remote possibility that resort will eventually be had to highway fund diversion in order to take care of the usual and ordinary appropria tions of the state. Diversion io the extent of three per cent of all gasoline sales is possible under action of the 1937 General As sembly, but can only come after the balance in the general fund has been completely wiped out.
