Congressmen Are Anxious To Get Home To Campaign They’re Afraid To Vote In Washington and Afraid De lays in Getting Back Horn e May Endanger Their Renominations or Re-Election Later By CHARLES P. STEWART • Central I»ress Columnist Washington, June 4.—Congress as its 193* session is drawing toward a close, has been probably the most jit tery legislative tody in recent Amer- | ican history. Our lawmakers, with renomination fights and a subsequent election dead ahead, always want to get home to attend to their political fences, but maybe never before has fence repaid work seemed so important to so many of them as this year. Republicans have not been so much worried, to be sure. A Republican who survived the Democratic sweep in 1932 inclines to think that he has a sufficiently dependable G. O. P. bailiwick to return him in 1938 re gardless of nearly anything or every thing. He counts on renomination is a foregone conclusion and he doesn’t WiUBeNo Diversion This Year Dully Dlapntrh llnreau, In the Sir WiiWcr Hotel. Raleigh, June 4.-Continuing good collection of revenue makes it certain that there will be no diversion of highway funds for the current fiscal year, Commissioner of Revenue Allen J Maxwell said today. Future collections are so uncer tain, however, that Mr. Maxwell said he did not feel safe in expressing any opinion about the possible necessity of diversion during, or near the end of the next fiscal year—second of the biennium for which appropriations were made by the 1937 General As sembly. The Revenue Department head add ed that it is still impossible to make anyaccumte estimate of what effect jhe business slump, which started ■ost fall, will have on the State’s re- O' ipts for the next year. He pointed out that income taxes, which this year sc’ a new high in collections, will un -1 oubtedly be much lower next year (Continued on Page Four.) f A H, LESUE FERRY MEMORIAL mtnuvvKixn Datln Utspatrfi ONLY DAILY NEWSPAP ER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGmiA. .

The Democratic legislators are the ones who have chafed as their ses sion in Washington has dragged on into their respective home campaign seasons. Democrats Squirm. And it is to ite considered that Con gress is about 75 per cent Democratic now.

Speaking at a luncheon of univer sity trustees and alumni leaders, sec retary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper, a member of the class of 1888, lauded the leadership of Dr. Braxton Craven and Dr. John Franklin Crowell, early presidents of Trinity College, and de clared that, despite the changes that have come about in the past half-cen tury to affect profoundly the mode of life, new problems can be solved with the old principles followed by the leaders of a bygone day. Secretary Roper remarked on the fact that his college class now occu pies the mid-way position in the thus far history of Trinity college and Continued on Page Two.), HENDERSON, N.

Raleigh, June 4. —Not so long ago this correspondent noted an iteni that crow is a favorite tidbit in the vicinity of Elizabeth City. ’Twas said that real epicures declare the flesh of the pro verbially black and roguish bird to be a real delicacy. Many a time and oft the correspon dent has eaten figurative crow as the result of very bad attacks of political astigmatism, amounting practically to total blindness; but it wasn’t half as bad as is sometimes said. And so here goes for a little pre dicting results of some of the fiercest of the political wars that are being settled in today’s Democratic primary.

LEVINE YOUTH DID NOT DIE OF POISON Medical Examiner at New Rochelle Gives Findings; Diver Searches Sound Floor New Rochelle, N. Y., June 4.—(AP) —Dr. Amos O. Squire, medical ex aminer of Westchester county, re ported today poison played no part in the death of kidnaped Peter Levine, 12, whose headless body was recover ed from Long Island Sound last Sun day.

An derson made a brief exploratory de scent yesterday apd reported the go ing difficult because of the quantities of silt he stirred up, masses of kep and slimy jagged rocks flooring the bay. Police, however, thought he had an outside chance of finding the boy’s skull, his shoes or the bones of his hands and feet, missinp when his torso, bound with copper wire, was ' washed ashore. ss House Conferees Unable to Agree Between Them selves on Proposal for Committee # HOUSE GROUP WILL MAKE CONCESSIONS Will Not Block Some Sort of Move for Agreement; Re jected Proposal Would!

The discarded plan provided for a commission to report to Congress in two years on the wage/hour question. Congress then could have enacted new legislation in line with the report. The compromise was offered by Rep -'-•tentative Hartley, Republican, New Jersey, and supported by Representa tive Raxnspeck, Democrat, Georgia. It was opposed by the other five House conferees. It was not, there fore, submitted formally to the whole conference committee.

Cash, his shoulders bent by fatigue, and his eyes bloodshot from sleepless nights, appeared briefly on the porch of his home to express to reporters his thanks to the 2,000 persons who hunted fruitlessly for the blonde, five year-old boy snatched from his bed room last Saturday. Asked if he thought the case would be solved, he said: “Yes, I think so, as far as catching the fellows who did it is concerned. (Continued on Page Four.)

James Roosevelt, son an 1 secretary of the President, late yesterday plac ed another piece of the lowa political chessboard in a telegram containing the words, “My Friend Otho Wearin.” Wearin, a congressman claiming White House support, is opposing Sen ator Guy Gillette for the lowa sena torial nomination. Gillette was paired against the President’s Supreme Court reform voters. Democratic voters will select the nominee from among Wearin, Gil lette and three other candidates Mon day. Roosevelt’s telegram, the first pub licly active recognition of the lowa from the first family of the land, informed Federal District At torney Ed Dunn of Mason City that he had not made and then cancelled plans to campaign in lowa for Wearin.

The 70 senators who remained for the finish of the two weeks battle over the bill divided 60 to ten for the measure. Seven Republicans and three Democrats lined up against it. Before the final vote, opponents of the program were completely routed.. They lost every attempt to write re strictions into the bill. As passed, it would give President Roosevelt an en tirely free hand in the distribution of the huge appropriation. Upon passage of the bill, Senator Barkley, Democrat, Kentucky, told his weary listeners Congress probably would adjourn next week-end, after sending the relief measure and a pending wage-hour bill to the White House. The spending-lending program now goes to a joint Senate-House confer ence committee. Farmers, with the possible excep tion of winter wheat growers, will not receive until next year any of the $Z12,000,000 for farm benefits voted by the Senate and the lending-spend ing bill, meanwhile. Senator Russell, democrat, Georgia, who sponsored the farm benefit amendment, said it was possible, though unlikely, that “not a dime of the funds will actually be paid.” He explained whether any of the money is paid out depends on the re lation of the average prices received by growers of cotton, wheat, corn to bacco and rice to the “parity” prices of these commodities in the first five months of the respective marketing seasons.
