Raleigh, April 15 —‘All that glitters isn’t gold and the $9,000,000 “surplus” so glitteringly described by Governor Clyde R- Hoey and the Highway Com mission isn’t in fact a “surplus” at all, according to an analytical editorial appearing in Wednesday’s High Point Enterprise. . His name is not signed to it, hut Capus M. Waynick, formerly chair man of the State Highway and Pub lic Works Commission, is editor of the Enterprise, and it’s a fair assump tion that the exploding of the “sur plus” myth was done by Mr. Way nick, who ought to know where of he speaks. “The existence of the so-called ‘sur plus’ in the road fund is somewhat misleading” the editorial recites. “That pile of gold in the highway fund does not represent excess be yond road need as surely as it reflects fear and caution. “The State has no “surplus” in road money; it does have a legal re serve.

STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, April 15. Franklyn Waltman’s recent appointment to the publicity directorship of the Repub lican National Committee was an event of first-class political impor tance. The G. O. P.’s publicity never has been of much consequence in the past. Some fine chaps and excellent writ ers have handled it, but they all have been poor selections, for jobs as poli tical press agents. For example: In President Coolidge’s day, the party’s press relations were managed mostly by Everett Sanders, one of the White House secretaries. Sanders had been a creditable congressman, was very likable and Knew politics well. But he was a lawyer, without a day’s newspaper experience in his life.

He plans two messages to Congress on those subjects, he told his press conference. The President, in his message yes terday, asked Congress to be “def nitely aware” of the need for eliminat ing exemptions on future bond issue of all kinds of government agencies and for subjecting salaries and wages of all kinds to Federal and State in come taxes. State employees now paying a State income tax are exempt from the Fed eral levy, and Federal employees, pay ing Federal tax, are exempt from State levies. Roswell Magill, under secretary of the Treasury, estimated if all pres ent Federal, State and local securities and salaries were taxable, the addi tional Federal income tax revenue would be about $155,000,000 a year. Roosevelt talked to the large gath ering of reporters while his recovery campaign went forward on many fronts.

Landon, dressed in oil field clothes, dropped into the Emporia Gazette office today en route to visit one of his oil wells. ‘‘Governor,” asked one of William White’s reporters;, ‘‘what do you think about the President’s radio speech last night?” The 1936 Republican presidential nominee grinned and answered: “The speech sounded good if you had heard it for the first time. But having heard it so many times be fore, I couldn’t help but thinking all the time the President was deliver ing it o fthe fact that there are as many unemployed today as there were when he went into office. I guess the increase in the national income which he brags of didn’t mean much to that large group.”
