The vote of confidence was 315 to 211. new majority was based on ccn • e:v "ive support, ranging all the way from his own moderately conserva tor party to the extreme right French see il party. The socialist and communist, who formerly joined with radical socialist to form tlie people’s front, voted solid ly against Daladier.

Reorganization Defeat Again Is Predicted Washington, Dec. 10.—(AP) — Some of the Senators who opposed the ad ministration’s reorganization bill in the last congress predicted today the defeat of any new proposal to give President Roosevelt a free hand to re shuffle Federal Bureaus. The president told a press confer : < e yesterday that he would recom mend to the new congress enact ment of a reorganization bill, .but said he had no idea whether there would r any fundamental changes from the measures which envoked a heated con troversy last session. In that connection, Mr. Roosevelt commented that every one agrees that the government’s machinery should be more efficient. Senator McNary, Republican of Oregon, the minority leader, echoad this view but added: “Everyone is for reorganization if it will promote the efficiency of gov ernment and reduced the cost thereof. Everyone is willing to give a presi dent the power to abolish offices and bureaus, transfer and amalgamate the function of bureaus.” “Rut in my opinion majority of con- H's s wants to have some control of arbitrary decisions by the president.

C., SATURDAY AFTERNOON , DECEMBER 10, 1938 Foreigners At Kuling Resort; Are Removed Shanghai, Dec. 10. —(AP) —Evacua- tion of 92 foreigners, about one third of whom were Americans, from the former mountain resort of Kuling, was completed today. Despite a raging storm, the party of men, women and children descend ed the winding 19 miles path carved out of a mountainside and boarded a Japanese army transport at Kiukiang. They had been isolated in their re fuge since last July. Officers of the U. S. Gunboat Mon ocacy reported the successful evacua tion to the cruiser Augusta here. The transport was expected to start tor Shanghai as soon as the weather abates. With the Kuling refugees evacuated, the work of the United States gun boat of that region of the Yangtze river was considered to be virtually completed and the Monacacy was ex pected to start soon for Shanghai. Conserving Holly Supply Being Urged Daily Dlspntch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Dec. 10. —Careful cutting of holly by landowners and conser vative use of it by the public was urg ed today hy State Forester J. S. Hol mes, of the Department of Conserva tion and Development. Mr. Holmes pointed out that the supply of berry-bearing holly trees is steadily diminishing as a result of the careless cutting or downright slaughter of these trees in the past. If any appreciable amount of holly is to be preserved for use in future, the attitude of the public as well as of the farmers and landowners, must un dergo a decided change, according to Mr. Holmes. “One thing that needs improvement is the attitude of many people to wards holly and other greens grow ing along the highways,” Mr. Holmes said. “They must get over the old idea that anything that grows in the woods or along the roadsides is public pro perty of free plunder. I think there has been marked improvement here in North Carolina the last few years. But there are still entirely too many (Continued on Page Four 1 WEATHER FOR NORTH CAROLINA.

Washington, Dec. 10.—(AP) —State Department officials concerned by re ports that Mexico has arranged to barte" oil to Germany for machinery and chemicals, asked Ambassador Josephus Daniels today for a lull re port.

Nolan said there were eight bullet wounds in the miner’s body, and expressed the opinion that Patterson had been killed elsewhere and his body drop ped in a heap along the road. Hoey To Pass 61st Birthday Without Pomp Raleigh, Dec. 10. —(AP) —Governor Hoey will celebrate his 61st birthday anniversary tomorrow without a cake and candles. Instead, he will follow his usual Sunday routine of teaching a men’s Bible class at the Edenton Street Methodist church. Before the class meets, he will speak to the young people of the Sunday school. Reminiscing with newspaper men' this morning, the governor comment ed that “time certainly passes in a hurry.” The chief executive recalled that 40 years ago, he was elected from Cleve land county to the State House of Re presentatives when he was 20, but reached the required age of 21 before he took his qath. He was named to the State Senate at the age of 24, but reached 25, the age required by that office before the general assembly met. Next Congress Will Be Mildly Conservative One Many Good Laws Enacted Under New Deal Need Changing and Liberals Seem Ready To Meet That Need; Party Realignment Is Progressing By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, Dec. 10.—Senator Ar thur Capper of Kansas, who has about as many intelligent “hunches” as al most all the rest‘of Congress put togeth er, takes the posi tion that political and economic lib erals have a virtual monopo 1 y upon worthwhile ideas but that it takes conserva tiv e s to make them work. A conservative isn’t necessarily a reac tionary any more than a liberal neces sarily is a radical. Our incoming na- I ii Capper tional legislature promises to be mild ly conservative. Its members are be ginning to pile into Washington, and predominantly they talk that way.

E. Thomas, a Virginia state trooper, was shot and critically wounded on a snow covered mountain road near here early today by a man who Thomas said he believed was Roy Kelly, espaced North Carolina convict. Kelly had been sought by police of two states in the killing of a sheriff and a police officer at Burlington, N. C., early Wednesday. Patrick county commonwealth at torney, F. T. Burton, who was allow ed a brief interview with Thomas at the hospital early today, said “he is confident that Kelly shot him.” Thomas, on the watch with other Virginia officers, saw Kelly, started pursuit of a sedan which led through Stewart last night. Near Lovers Leap, which stands 3,- 300 feet in the Blue Ridge, near the headwater of the Dan river, the troop er overtook and stopped the car. As he got out of his automobile he told Burton, a man in the other car fired, the bullet striking him near the heart. Though seriously wounded, the trooper managed to get into his own car and drive to the home of Henry Casfwell, about two miles away in the mountainous country. acted by liberals in the last six years, but they do want to amend them con siderably. In fact, they are favorable to the passage, in modified form, of several new law r s which the liberals have tried to put through during the last three sessions but couldn’t get majorities for. Illustratively, the conservatives are as friendly to governmental reorgani zation as are the liberals. All that the conservatives don’t like is the liberals’ proposed method of reorganization, in all its details. The Defense Issue. Then there’s the issue of national defense preparation.

Delegates thronged this hill rim med Peruvian capital, evinced deep interest in the three speeches sche duled for a late afternoon session, which was expected not only to call for a closer Pan-American coope.a i.on, but perhaps indicate how far the respective governments were willing to go in that direction. With Secretary Hull on the second day conference program were foreign Minister Jose Marie Cantilo, of A-- gentine, and Dr. Carlos Concha, for eign minister of Peru. Peru’s dynamic president, Oscar Benavides, opened the conference amid colorful pageantry yesterday, with the assertion that the western hemisphere “wishes to be strong in order to be respected.” Not stressing the community of ideals and interest that link Ameri can nations he was careful to say such unity did not cut the .western Hemisphere off from the rest of the world. Soon after the formal opening, as sistant secretary of State, Adolf Berle, Jr., told a radio audience that the United States was not seeking mil itary alliance with the Latin Ameri can republics. Such a course was “out of the ques tion,” Berle asserted, denying rumor he said were current. Tax Exempt Proposed For Electric Line Daily Dispatch Bureau, In The Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Dec. 10.—There is a plan afoot to ask the 1939 General Assem bly to authorize a subsidy, in the form of tax exemption, to private power companies willing to undertake rural electrification projects which are just on the borderline of feasibility from the financial standpoint. If this plan matures, as now seems not unlikely, the expected debate over election law reform, sales tax re vision and increased spending for schools will seem gentle zephyrs when compared with the hurricane of red faced oratorical wind which will all but literally lift the roof off the Capi tol building. Just imagine the cries of tool-of-the power trust, paid-agents-of-the-power lobby, which self-styled liberals and defenders of the public weal against the alleged plunderbund of vested in terests will raise! Calmly critical observers do not really expect the proposal to be put so badly, but there is a growing be lief in well-informed circles that some form of subsidization is going to be necessary before much more progress in rural electrification can be made in North Carolina. The reason is simple enough. Rural electrification projects in the State quite naturally fall into three groups: (1) Those which cover sufficient ter ritory and serve a sufficient number of customers to be profitable, or at least, financially feasible to operate; (2) those projects which are right along the borderline of financial de sirability for operation; and (3) those which are obviously impossible from the standpoint of paying their way. Those projects in group one have been practically completed, either by private utilities, municipalities or co operatives under Federal REA aus pices. It is, therefore, clear that 'further progress in the State is strictly limit ed to projects in group two, as those in group three clearly cannot now be undertaken. • All of which raises the question of a subsidy. Also the question of whom to subsidize, and how. Those who favor private utilities are seriously planning to introduce a bill at the coming session of the legisla ture authorizing exemption from taxa tion (for a period of years, at least) of rural electrification projects under taken by private utiltties. If and when they do, the storm will break and the 1939 General Assembly will be the scene of one of the noisiest if not bitterest, debates on record. The State Rural Electrification Au thority is keeping just as far away from participation in any such wran gle as humanly possible; but it is not in the least difficult to get from either its Director Dudley Bagley or its En gineer J. M. Grainger the flat state ment that the point has been reached where further extension of rural elec tric lines in North Carolina depends upon a change in present policey— either by the state or by the Federal authorties.
