Further, the note charged, Italy would take home 10,000 soldiers, most of them ill, from Spain, if the non intervention plan went into effect, and incorporate the rest of the Ital ian troops in Spain into the Spanish foreign legion with the officers.

Mr. Day was accompanied by Miss Doshia Richards, FSA Home Super visor. The purpose of the course of studv was to permit field workers of the FSA from all over North Carolina to get what the College and Extension Service have to offer in the way of latest farm practices. Mr. Day said the meeting a’so gave workers a chance to swap ideas about their work and to ask questions about va rious farm problems. iLectures and discussions on timely farm topics were led by Specialists of the col lege and extension service and one session led by leaders fvom the Uni versity at Chapel Hill was given ovtr to the discussion of health and other v tal social problems. Emphasis was nlaced upon helping supervisors in the educational and supervisory phase of the FSA’s rehabilitation program in contrast wi s h the lending phase, it was pointed out.

Missions Escape Damage As Japanese Renew Bombings This State Only One In South To Increase Farm Incomes In 1938 College Station, Raleigh, July 12. — North Carolina was the only South Atlantic State to show an increase in farm income from the sale of prin ciple crops during the first five months of 1938 as compared with the same period in 1937. The Tar Heel farm cash income for the first five months of this year was $32,015,000, and in 1937 it was $29,- 726,000, said Julian E. Mann, exten sion statistician at State College, after looking over a report issued by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Income from sales of principle csops in Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware continued at about the same level as for the same period a year ago, with but slight decreases, while South Car olina income dropped about $3,000,- 000, Georgia about $6,000,000, and STACY CHANCM But His Tar Heel Friends Boosting Him For Car dozo’s Vacancy Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, July 12.—Death of Justice Benjamin Cardozo has revived talk of possible nomination of North Caro lina’s Chief Justice Walter P. Stacy to succeed the New Yorker on the nation’s highest legal body. Already efforts in Stacy’s behalf have been started by the North Car olina Bar Association, of which Char les G. Rose is president, and this group will certainly be joined by Gov ernor Clyde R. Hoey and members of the North Carolina delegation in Con gress. With all this talk and activity, how ever, there seems only the most ne bulous of prospects that the Tar Heel chief justice will be elevated to an office in the new Supreme Court building in Washington. To begin with, geography is against him, though President Roosevelt has shown more than a little disregard for sections entitled to representation on the basis of having or not having Supreme Court places. The generally expressed opinion of commentators and observers close to affairs in Washington seems to be that the Far West will get the post to be filled by a successor to Justice Cardozo. More important than geography, however, is the fact that the North Carolina chief justice, while he may be classed as a “liberal” by compar sion with many of North Carolina’s leading jurists and politicians, is far far from being the kind of confirmed New Dealer that the President is most likely to put on the bench. With the new wage and hour bill soon to be tested in the courts, it s a reasonably safe bet that the next Supreme Court appointee will be one who has already (Continued on Page Five.), *V> •;! tI, , ... . 4 ;, > ,4t K•: f ; r» : - *■■■•* m*•< •• «*>■-«. * Florida about $20,000,000. The total cash income for North Carolina farmers during the January- May period of 1938—sale of farm crops plus AAA payments —was $38,- 872,000 as compared with $40,615,000 the year before. This was accounted for by the decrease in amount of AAA payments. During the first five months pe riod of this year, the Triple-A pay ments amounted to $6,857,000, but in the same time for 1937 some $10,889,- 000 were distributed to Tar Heel far mers, who cooperated in the farm program. Low cotton prices cut down on southern farm income, but North Car olina farmers were not as dependent upon this one crop as were farmers in some of the other Southern States. REORGANIZATION^ Better Business Basis For Federal Government Is Crying Necessity By CHARLES F. STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, July 12.—Just as Pre sident Roosevelt says, the country un doubtedly wants the executive branch of the government reorganized on a business basis. Congress, at its last session, did not turn down proposed reorganization because there was any dispute on that score. The bill was shelved be cause so many of the lawmakers dis approved the kind of reorganization that the administration favored. If, as the president forecasts, the scheme is re-introduced when the legislators meet again, in a form acceptable to them, unquestionably it will go thro ugh a-kiting. I am not sure that the issue can be made a very popularly exciting one. The present set-up is ridiculous, as well as terrible. However, its aw fulness is pretty well concentrated in Washington. Here we all realize how nearly impossible it is. I doubt that this is so well understood out in the country; so the country may not care bo much. . But that the thing needs reorganiza tion and simplification is indisputable. The Trouble. The trouble is this: Every time an emergency hrises, soir.c sort of a sub-administration is created to deal with it. Such sub-administration survives on into near-eternity. Its emergency may pass. Some other agency may be es tablished, to make over its functions. These outfits are overlapping or ob solete in dozens of different direc tions. But they provide jobs. Conse quently it practically is impossible to abolish any one of them. There are more than 100 adminis (Continued on /Pagfe Eight.

Ours is good enough for us.” The President avoided reference to Colorado’s senatorial primary, making no mention either of Senator Adams or his rival, Judge Benjamin Hilliard.. Mr. Roosevelt devoted much of his Pueblo talk to describing the gov ernment’s efforts toward conservation of natural resources, and described the government as “a common meet ing ground” for the states in adjust ments of their differences, particular ly those involving water. His only mention of a Colorado of ficial came when he said, discussing interstate water problems, “Your gov ernor and I have talked about them.” Governor T. Ammons, of Colorado, unoposed for renomination, stood on the train platfrm behind the Presi dent with Senators Adams and John son and Representative Martin, of Pueblo, all Colorado Democrats.

TAXBODYACCUSES DUPONI AND RASKOB Sought To Evade $600,000 and $1,000,000 Levies, Is Allegation Washington, July 12.— (AY J ) — The United States Board of Tax Appeals found today that Pierre S. DuPont and John J. Raskob had attempted to evade more than $1,090,000 of income taxes by “paper transactions” in se curities. The exact amount of additional taxes due on their 1929 incomes was left by the board to be determined later, but attorneys estimated Raskob might be held to owe about $1,000,000 and DuPont about $600,000. DePont, a large contributor to Re publican campaign funds in 1936, is chairman of the board of directors of E. I. DuPont de Nemours & Com pany. Raskob was chairman of the Democratic National Committee and campaign manager for Alfred E.
