ONLY DAILY NEWSPAP ER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA. “All Our Ancestors Were Immigrants” * Making his first visit to a Daughters of the American Revolution convention since he assumed office, President Roosevelt is pictured at the hall with Mrs. William A. Becker, retiring president general of the D. A. R. in a happy mood. His Military aide, Col. E. M. Watson is at the right. In an address before the convention, the presi dent xeminded the D. A.

Connor, who died unex pectedly Saturday. “I doubt if it will be possible to an nounce the appointment until this evening, or maybe even later,” the governor said this morning. The chief -executive gave no indica tion as to who was under considera tion. Capitol Hill gossip, however, centered largely on Charles G. Rose, of Fay etteville; Attorney Gcn-eral A. A. F. Seawell and Judge Vernon Cowjaer, of Kinston. There was some specula tion that former Governor J. C. B. Ehringnaus might be named, but this was discounted by close observers. At midday, fifteen persons had been recommended to the governor for ap pointment. A del-egation from Nash and Edgecombe counties, headed by Senator W. G. Clark, of Tarboro, and Kemp Battle, of Rocky Mount, per sonally represented the name of Soli citor Donnell Gilliam, of Tarboro. Others urged for the place were: R. S. Simms, and J. M. Broughton, of Ra leigh; Seawell; Judge Cowper and Rose, Superior Court Judges Clawson Williams, of Sanford; N. A. Sinclair, of Fayetteville; R. Hunt Parker, of Roanoke Rapids; Paul Frizzelle, of Snow Hill, and Henry A. Grady, of Clinton; George R. Ward, of Duplin county; Albion Dunn, of Greenville; I. C. Wright, of Wilmington, and J. F.

Britain And Ireland Get New Treaty Old Enmities Fade In Accord for Bet ter Trade Relations and Their Defense London, April 25 (AP) —Neville Chamberlain and Eamon de Valera, prime ministers of Great Britain and Ireland, today signed an agreement intended to end old emnities between the two countries, and solve their trade and defense disputes.

TREASURY BOASTS TEN BILLIONS FOR SPENDING EFFORTS Could Be, But Probably Will Not Be, Tapped To Pay for Future Govern mental Outlays IDLE GOLD ALREADY IS DE-STERILIZED Metal Is Being Turned Into Deposit by Issuing rency Against It; Other Sources of Outlay Are Be ing Held in Readiness If Needed Washington, April 25 (AP) —Treas- ury officials disclosed today they have approximately $10,500,000,000 in resources which could be, but prob ably will not be, tapped to pay for future spending. Outside of borrowing, the only step taken so far to finance the new spend ing-lending program has been the de sterilization of $1,400,000,000 of idle gold. The metal is being turned into a deposit credit by issuing currency against it. These other sources are legally open to the Treasury: Liquidating entry in federal and private corporations, $4,000,000,000. Issuing currency on statutory sil ver profit, $1,500,000,000. Using gold now in stabilization fund, $2,000,000,000. Issuing “greenback” currency un der the 1933 AAA act, $3,000,000,000. Total, $10,500,000,000. Officials said either practical or eco nomic objections would interfere with the use of any one of these funds. claimsnewTeal 10 LOSE STRENGTH President Unquestionably Has Lost Much Con gressiolnal Influence By CHARLES I\ STEWART „ Central Press Columnist Washington, April 25.—A faithful reader of this column expresses a doubt that Washington writers sense the countrywide reaction to New Deal policies, probably because, as he re marks, they evidently have not travel ed much recently. It is true, most of them have not. Still, they all are in close touch with congressmen from all parts of the country. Maybe they have, consequent ly, a better idea of sentiment in all parts of the country than any obser ver in one particular area. Now, there can be no question that Continued mi Page Five.)
