The measure provides that when demand warrants it, such courses shall be instituted at the .North Carolina College for Negroes at Durham and the Agricultural and Technical College at Greensboro. U presentative Murphy, of Rowan, author of the bill, told the House it was an answer to “the mandate of the United States Supreme Court, which we must follow.” He referred to a ruling that Missouri must pro vide graduate and specialized courses for Negroes. "Thi s is the only way we can pre vent Negroes from entering our white institutions,” said Murphy. “Its enact ment will preclude that possibility. It is a measure of justice and right we cannot evade.” The solon praised the relationship between the races in the State. The measure carries no specific approp Two Flogged Negroes May Not Testify Doctors Advise Against Bringing Them Before Grand Jury Probing Wayne Abduction Affair Goldsboro, Feb. 14. —(AP) —A pos sibility that two Negroes taken from the city jail last Thursday and flog ged might not be able to testify be fore the Wayne county grand jury de veloped today.

By LYNN NISBET Raleigh, Feb. 14. —It was unfor tunate for the school teachers that most of the legislators were out of Raleigh Saturday, because Governor Hocy told a delegation of the peda gogues that afternoon that they would have to take their plea for increased salaries direct to the members, as be had no vote on the matter.

Prospect Os Teacher Pay Isn't Bright Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. BY G. LYNN NISBET. Raleigh, Feb. 4. —North Carolina’s teachers are quite likely to get some thing they haven’t fully made up their minds they want; while at the same time they just as likely will not get more than a very meagre portion of -those things 'they have announced long and loud that they do desire. As a result of the leaning of this general Assembly toward “economy,” the appropriations committee has al ready declined to grant the salary in creases and increments sought by the pedagogues and this action is likely to stick, despite the uproarous out break from outraged instructors all over the State. On the other hand, the Assembly, seeing That it wouldn’t cost anything at all is more or less inclined to pass a bill to provide for the payment oC teacher salaries in twelve equal month (Continued on Page Five) Anti-Diversion Fight May Be Taken to Legislature Floor Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. By LYNN NISBET Raleigh, Feb. 14. —Pro-diversionists who have been trying to persuade themselves and the public that they had the fight won, are due for a rude awakening this afternoon when the appropriations committees take up the highway item in the appropria tions bill. A substantial group of sen ators who claim also right hefty sup port from the House contingent, have some facts and figures which they believe will throw light on the whole subject of diversion. This bloc is headed by Senators Ballentine of Wake, Umstead of Orange and Hatcher of Burke, Bal HENDERSON, N. C., TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 14, 1939 Big Warship Is Launched By Germany Hitler Speaks and Pictures Himself As Another Bismarck, Iron Chancellor for Whom 35,000 - Ton Ship Is Named Hamburg, Germany, Feb. 14.—.(AP) —Germany’s fuehrer saw today the IReich’s newest and greatest battleship slide down the ways hearing the name of Bismarck, and declared the iron chancellor’s hopes had triumphed at last—through Adolf Hitler. Before 50,090 Nazi dignitaries and onlookers, Hitler seized the oppor tunity of picturing the creator of the German empire as much the same kind of a man as himself —destined by Providence to be a lonely figure fight ing against a world of obstacles. The spirit of Bismarck, he said, should shine before the eyes of those who man the new 35,000-ton warship, which is another advance on Nazi dom’s self-styled “road of destiny” for 1939 “in the hours of the most dif ficult performance of duty.” He said Bismarck stood forth a mong all others to help create the “pre-conditions for the present-day greater Germany,” and added: “Everywhere the nonentities arose in opposition to the only genius of his time. It was a fight which only he can appreciate who himself has been compelled to face such a world of obstacles.” Hitler said the destruction of the German fleet after the World War “even today grips painfully at our hearts,” and shouted that national socialism “tore the nation out of its ruts and led it to new domestic and foreign successes.” $419,954 Os WPA Finances Is Allotted Raleigh, Feb. 14.

Ward Victory Indirect Win For Governor Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. By HENRY AVERILL Raleigh, Feb. 14. —The longer this General Assembly lasts, the more gen eral becomes the impression that Governor Hoey and his administra tion were, next to Libby himself, the biggest winners in the speakership sweepstakes in which Craven’s Mr. Ward vanquished Durham’s Victor S. Bryant by a scant two votes. In the beginning, the Ward win was regarded as having been some thing for the governor to regret just ' (Continued on Page Five.) lentine has done most of the figur ing and is slated to present the re sults of his cogitations to the joint group of money allocators this after noon. None of the bloc leaders have disclosed details of the plan in the event the committee doesn’t pay any attention to their figures, but the zeal and determination which they have shown in preparing them leads to the conclusion that if the appropriations committee doesn’t go along with them they will take the fight to the floor of the House and Senate in commit tee of the whole.

Pope Taken To His Last, Final Rest Pontiff's Tomb in Sub terranean Grotto Un der Great Altar in St. Peter’s; Only Few At t e n d Ceremonies There Vatican City, Feb. 14. —(AP) —Fope Pius XI was carried to his final rest ing place beneath the floor of the great Cathedral of St. Peter’s today. His tomb was the subterranean grot to of the basilica under the great central altar where only a pope cele brates mass. At this altar, during his 17-year pontificate, Pius had officiated at the church’s most solemn and moving ceremonies. Hundreds of thousands of the faithful had watched him there, first in robust health .and recently weakened by illness as he perform ed his duties as holy father of the Catholic world. The entombment ritual, conducted behind closed doors, contrasted strik ingly with the pomp of the living pope’s appearances in St. Peter’s. The great crowds of those appearances, often numbering more than 50,000, were missing. There were, comparatively few in vited mourners, cardinals bishops and other prelates of the papal aris tocrats.

From that point they will argue that the road system is becoming rapidly obsolete, that every year outmodes an increasing number of miles, and that more money, rather than less, is absolutely necessary to preserve the capital in vestment which the State has in its highways.

Franco Recognition Delayed by France As Loyalists Resist Rivers Recede As Fresh Rain Falls Raleigh, Feb. 14.—(AP)—-Flood waters in the rivers of eastern North Carolina receded in the up per reaches of the streams today and, despite new rains, no new floods are in immediate prospect, said Lee A. Denscn, weather ob server here. The overflow in the Cape Fear had passed below Elizabethtown, the Neuse was dropping at Smith field, the Tar was holding station ary at Rocky Mount and the Roa noke was rising very slowly at We! don.

STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, Feb. 14. —Uncle San really is worried more concerning German and Italian trade inroads in Latin America than he is concerning their military advances in the south ern hemisphere. This is particularly true of Germany. Italy never has made so deep a dent but Germany has dug in. It was doing so before the World War and ha s kept it up since I then more effectively than ever in post-war years. Italy does not show the same com- I mercial intelligence. Uncle Samuel has not shown much of any intelli gence at all. I ran a North American newspaper in the River Plate repub lics in the early post-war years. The development of North American trade in that area was my particular job. It was my paper’s life blood in fact. Yankees actually on the scene sensed the necessities that they confronted, to be sure, but they did not get much backing from home. Tariffs especial ly were adverse to them. To start with, conditions were in (Continued on Page Two.) PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON EXCEPT SUNDAY. Paris Cabinet Sends Envoy Back to Burges for Fresh Assurances; Spanish Government Braces for Expected Insurgent Offensive Paris, Feb. 14.—(AP)—The deter mined opposition of a group of anti fascist ministers today compelled the French government to delay formal recognition of Insurgent General Franco as head of the legal govern ment of Spain. After three and a half hours of debate, the cabinet decided merely to leave the diplomatic situa tion unchanged. The ministers agreed, however, to send Senator Barage on a second mis sion to Bourgos, insurgent capital, which many believed would lead to recognition of Franco’s government. It was indicated this time that Barage would go as an official en voy of France. When he visited Bur goes a week ago his status was semi official, although he had the approval of Premier Daladier. He was said to (Continued on Two.) WEATHER FOR NORTH CAROLINA. Occasional rain tonight and Wednesday; somewhat warmer to night.

The refugee com mittee disclosed it would try to move 150,C00 young Jews from Germany in the first year of the plan’s opera tion. The new corporation will be formed as soon as possible to lend financia help to this undertaking.

Several members who attended the closed meeting in the House cham bers asserted that Representative Cox, Democrat, Georgia, had made a rousing speech, the tenor of which was that the administration would do well to go along with Congress, and not insist so much that Congress go along with it. While the conference, held in an atmosphere of cigar smoke and gen eral good fellowship, was described by Democratic leaders as entirely har monious, a number of those present said Cox had spoken of a lack of con sultation between White House and Democratic legislators. They said the Georgian, who has opposed some ad ministration measures, had suggested that if Mr. Roosevelt took members into his confidence more, he would obtain greater cooperation from Con gress.
