BY HENRY AVERILL. Raleigh, Jan. 10.—“ The budget” for the biennium 1939-41, submitted last night to the General Assembly by the governor and the Advisory Budget Commission, is today being mulled and talked over by legislators, de partment heads and political obser vers; but not because its content.s were in the least surprising, notwith standing the fact that it calls for greater revenues and expenditures than any other similar document ever given to the Assembly for guidance and suggestion. The salient points in it are, by com mon consent, recommendation for a permanent rattier than biennial tax bill, insistence on the continuation of a policy permitting diversion of highway funds up to $5,000,090 for the coming biennium, passing of the buck to the legislature to determine wheth er there shall be a twelfth grade or whether experienced teachers shall get an extra increment, recommen dation for 50 additional members of the highway patrol and refusal of the commission to commit itself in the matter of an increase in fertilizer taxes.

Fhillips, of Onslow. It had been de finitely predicted in this correspon dence that this assignment would go to the east. The fact that Phillips’ county does not have the absentee nuisance to contend with, and further that he lived for several years in the western part of the State, is thought to have influenced the selection.

Last week Governor Hoey recom mended in his biennial message to the legislature that the State make provision for graduate work at the two State-supported colleges for Ne groes, and the application of the Ne gress was filed at Chapel Hill the same day.

Whether I would have the same physical disorders if I hadn’t been in prison is problemati cal. I don’t believe I would.” Those close to him agreed with his own evaluation of his developments. They laughed at suggestions the lab or movement had changed so much Mooney was left far behind during the yeiars he was imprisoned for the 1916 preparedness day bombing in San Francisco. “He is probably the best, informed man in the United States on the labor movement, perhaps in £he world at large,” said George T. Davis, Mooney’s attorney and companion since he was pardoned Saturday. “Labor leaders from all over the world came to visit Mooney while he was in prison. They came with the concentrated essence of something to say. Mooney really is a bright man and took advantage of it.” Jackson Day Dinner Harmony w mm US H * jr I|P IB President Franklin D.

Following a cabinet meeting at the Elysee palace, shortly before British Prime Minister Chamberlain and Foreign Secretary Viscount Halifax were to reach Paris enroute to Rome it was disclosed Bonnet told his col leagues he had received assurance of the “complete accord of the London cabinet with the Frenh point of view.” This, Bonnet said, had been convey ed to him last night bq Sir Eric Phipps, British ambassador to France Chamberlain and Halifax, enroute to conferences with Premier Mus solini, arranged to “take tea” with Bonnet and Daladier here late today. Chamberlain, alarmed by reports of a new intensive Italian-German cam paign for domination of the western Mediterranean, had left London for Rome to discover the 1939 aims of the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo trianglj. Armed with his famous gold knob umbrella, the 69-year-old prime minis ter boarded the Golden Arrow Ex press for Paris at 11 a. m. (6 a. m., eastern standard time). A group of jobless, who had gath ered to see him off, greeted him with shouts of “appease the unemployed not Mussolini.” Chamberlain carried with him a last-minute report of French Ambas sador Corbin, who expressed fears that Germany’s new fleet of “mi i now submarines” was being built main ly to hamper French-British shipping in the western Mediterranean. Informed quarters admitted that premise, together with the success of General Franco’s Italian-German supported drive in eastern Spain, was causing the prime minister a great deal of worry. Meanwhile, Rome reported Italy made it clear that she would try to enlist the support of British Prime Minister Chamberlain in her cam paign to get concessions from France. Despite efforts of France to keep the Italian-French dispute off the agenda, the Italian Fascist press in dicated it expected this to be the main topic of conversations starting tomorrow between Chamberlain and Mussolini. Newspapers stressed Italy’s claims against France over all other matters like / to be discussed. WEATHER FOR NORTH CAROLINA.

The sub-committee lopped $150,000,- 000 from the $875,000,000 President Roosevelt had asked.

Gains Representative Treadway, Republi can, Massachusetts, opening a Re publican attack on the administra tion’s reciprocal trade treaties, pre dicted today that the present minor ity party membership would be strong enough in 1940 to repeal the program. “The doubling of the representation of the Republican party in the pre sent Congress showed that the people are beginning to realize what the New Deal is doing to them,” Tread way said on the House floor. ‘‘ln the next Congress, we are going to have more than enough Republicans to wipe out the present trade treaty program, which is sb detrimental to the interests of our people, and re store the Republican policy of pro tection, under which our country has prospered for a century and a half.” Treadway opened the second day of Republican speeches against Presi dent Roosevelt’s administration, while the House awaited its first piece oif legislation, the emergency re lief bill, which Speaker Bankhead said mighty not be ready for debate until next week.

Road Deaths Cut 18 Prct, During 1938 Reduction in State On Basis of Cars Owned and Gas Consumption Is Even More Raleigh, Jan. 10.—(AP) —The traf fic death rate in North Carolina de creased about 20 percent in 1938, as compared with 1937, James Burch, sta tistical engineer of the highway Efnd public commission, said today in a “ser ~ fual” report. The State’s reduction of traffic deaths was bet ter than the national average, he commented, but the rate is higher than the nation. “On the basis of actual traffic deaths,” said Burch, “semi-final re ports indicate 203 fewer deaths on. highways in 1938 than in 1937, an im provement of 18 percent. This is bas ed on 1,123 traffic deaths for 1937 and an estimated 910 for 1938.” Turning to the traffic death rate based on vehicle registrations, with more cars operating in 1938, Burch said the rate per 10,000 registered ve hicles dropped from 19.16 in 1937 to 15.35 in 1938, an improvement of around 20 percent. The death rate per 10,000,000 gallons Burch reported, dropped from 30.04 persons to 23.57 persons, an Improve ment of 21.5 percent. Based on most recent estimates, the traffic death rate in the nation for 1938 was 16.82 per 10,000,000 gal lons of gasoline, as compared with 20.55 deaths per 10,000,000 gallons in 1937, an improvement of 18.15 per cent.
