Further Sales Tax Exemption Asked In Legislative Bills NY A Chief Tells Sol ons Too Many Youths Being Trained for Professions; Re - Ap pointment Bill Debat ed in House and Then Sent to Committee Raleigh, Jan. 13.—(AP)—Both di visions of the legislature got bills to day to exempt foods used for home consumption, Horses, mules, fish net twine, fish nets and agricultural im plements selling for less than $25 from the three percent sales tax. Aubrey Williams, National Youth administrator, told a joint session of the Congress that too much emphasis had been placed in the past on the education of youth to follow profes sions such as law, medicine and ac counting. “Unless we return to the funda mental dignity of working with our hands,” Williams warned, “we face a social upheaval in America.” He was vigorously applauded.

Raleigh, Jan. 13. —Material amend ment of North Carolina’s rural elec trification authority statute is a quite likely aftermath of the hearing here Wednesday and Thursday in which there were frequently recurring evi dences of the acrimonions relations between Federal and State REA of ficials. Definite indication of such a re suit was given by promise of Allen Moore, Federal REA attorney, to send Dudley Bagley, director of the Sta'e authority, a copy of a “model statute” which he said has been found satis factory in many states.

Raleigh, Jan. 13.—Increased oppo sition is developing to the Budget Com mission's recommendation that tuition rates be increased in all State schools of higher education. This opposition is manifesting it self on a.l sides, and has already at tained sufficient strength to make exceedingly doubtful enactment of the recommendation. The 'budgeteers proposed to raise tuition rates enough to increase re venues of State colleges by half mil lion dollars each year. Typical of the viewpoint of oppos ing legislators is the opinion of Sen ator Emmett Bel amy.

NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINM. ' HENDERSON, N. C., FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 13, 1939 the iburden of maintenance of these institutions is ill-timed and economi cally unsound,” said Senator Bellamy. “Many worthy students will be de nied an education if the tuition fees are increased, due to the fact that the earnings of their parents are greatly impaired and every ‘ss'i'f-he p’ agency is overtaxed with requests for work to aid them in obtaining higher education.” A tremendous volume of opposition among the students themselves is clearly obvious right here in Raleigh, the most casual conversation with' State College students revealing a deep resentment at the proposal to increase tuition fees. It is now proposed in some quarters to try to shift the whole increase to out of the state students, but others point out that such action might well cause loss, rather than gain in reve nue, as the necessary increase would be so high as to drive out-of-state students out of the state for good. Five Alcatraz Convicts Fail To Get Away San Francisco, Cal., Jan. 13. —(AP) —Five desperate prisoners attempted to escape from fog-shrouded Alcatraz Island prison early today and two were shot and wounded before guards captured the quintet. The prisoners, all serving lor.g terms, got out of the cell building in some mysterious manner at 4 a. m. The thickest fog in years obscured the island prison in San Francisco bay. Making a mad dash for the water, the convicts refused to halt at the command of guards, who opened fire. Arthur Barker, serving life for kid naping, was drilled through the head and legs and critically wounded. Dale (Continued on Page Eight.) Asso.

Duce Asked To Wait For A Year Yet Fuehrer Not Quite Ready To Pay Off for Italian Dictator’s Sup port at Munich, When Czechoslovakia Was Cut Up;* Duce Stood His Ground Rome, Jan. 13.—(AP)—Adolf Hitler was reliably reported today to have stepped into Prime Minister Cham berlain’s appeasement visit to Rome by urging Premier Mussolini to keep the peace for one year before de manding fulfillment of Italy’s “na tural aspirations”. From informed German quarters came the report that such a message was delivered by the German ambas sador in the second of two conferences he had yesterday with the Italian for eign minister. Disclosure of the German fuehrer’s part in the Rome conversations came as Chamberlain turned from his talks with II Duce to pay his respects to Pope Pius XI, and as results of the talks were being communicated to the United States and French am bassadors to Rome. Significantly, Ambassadors Phillips and Francois-Poncet were told of the Chamberlain-Mussolini talks of the past two days by the British foreign secretary, Viscount Halifax, in separ ate interviews this morning. Another notable development of the morning was the British minis ter’s private audience with the Ho.y Father at the Vatican. Chamberlain and Pope Pius, devoted workers for peace, were together for thirty minutes. Hitler’s reported request was inter preted as indicating the fuehrer was not yet ready to make payment to Mussolini for his support at the Munich conference, which partitioned Czechoslovakia, and marked a mile stone in European history.

High costs and financing difficul ties have been the bugaboo of build ing for the past few years. Building costs have dropped about five per cent from the 1937 peaks. The trend in modern small home building, how ever, is toward standardization. As a result, contractors are able to make good savings on mill-cut kitchen cab inets, staircases, doors, windows, and the like. Moreover, the F. H.

Some plants, he added, may have to work two or three shifts. The President told the press con ference that the only lag or bottle neck may lie in obtaining a suffici ent number of skilled plane factory workmen. Mr. Roosevelt estimated 15 percent of the labor needed for the plane building job would have to be skilled in the aircraJfts art. The other 85 percent could be developed rapidly by utilizing labor from automobile and other industries. Some plants, the President asserted probably would have to be expanded. All the new planes, except certain experimental crafts would be con structed at private factories, he said. The chief executive said new guns would be made in government plants as in the past, and that he believed sufficient capacity existed for build ing all guns required. Meanwhile, a ringing challenge to Democrats bo ignore charges that they would be “taking a fling’’ at President Roosevelt if they cut W(PA funds brought to a close House de bate on the supplemental relief bill.

Insurgent officers reported a Moroccan corps had hammered its way through government defenses on the northeastern bank of the Ebro and had completed the occupation -of Tortosa. (Tortosa is th£ eastern end of tWe coastal salient the government had held since the insurgents’ great drive of last spring thrust a wedge to the Mediterranean coast. The Ebro form ed the main defense line of this salient, which insurgents’ recent gains toward Tarrogona have converted in to a dangerous trap. The fall of Tor ;osa might indicate either that the insurgents had broken the Ebro line or that the government was hastily evacuating the Tortosa pocket.) .
