March 2."—< AS') —Tv-'> controversial anti-lynrh in? bill was approved today by a 10 to 3 vote of the Senate judi ciary committee. This acticn sent the legislation to the Senate floor. Some south ern senators already have given notice they were ready to talk the measure to death, if wccsvary. as they d5d v.!:en it came up there i previously. Senator Connally. Democrat, Texas, who has led opposition t» the legislation, told reporters alt er the committee's overwhelm ing vote cf approval "we are iro ing to rrsi-^t it. The Manner heim iine will not even be a starter." The hill whi^h the committee approved has already been p:\ss- | ed by the House.

Pretty Popular Nevertheless, tariff protection was pretty popular. Of course the manu facturers liked it. because its effect was to hold foreign competition down to a minimum. Labor liked it, too. on the ground that it enabled American industries to pay higher wages. And this was true also. To be sure, the exclusion of foreign good- made American living costs high likewise, which dethracted some what from the beauty of high wages. Stili. our workers undoubtedly were better off. by reason of their higher pay. than the old world's workers. Assume, then, tnat tariff protec tion is a good thing for a craftsman with a steady job. It does him no" good, however, if he's jobless. Fat envelope? don't in the lejtst benefit a chap who isn't getting one. And. somehow, it appears that :i protective tariff is no protection ;>«ain«t unemployment. Our huge army or workless work ers testifies to all this.

In the Sir Walter Ilofrl. j _ Raleigh. March 25. The State Highway Planning survey h:is com , pleted the first re;il '"maps" ever made of North Carolina's counties. They are now available at very slight cost, a complete jet of the 100 coun ties coming to $38.58. j The maps were completed only : ;»fter a year spent in field work and about eighteen months of office ch'-rting and checking. James S. Bur eh. engineer of Stat'stics and Planning for the N. C. State High way Commission, checked 65 of the • counties "on the ground" after the maps had been completed. He re ports that they are accurate to the last detail, showing the location of every house and even marking all but me most insignificant curves on the roads down to the county roads. The maps were made from avia tion pictures and on a "latitude and longitude'' basis. This latter fact, ! Durch said, makes them real maps, rather than "sketches'*, which is what all previous highway so-called maps have been. The new maps are on a scale of one inch equals one mile, which gives room for all the topographical "detail". They cost three cents per square inch. Each county map is made 36 inches wide, length depending on size of the county. The maps may be ob tained by writing James S. Burch, Engineer of Statistics and Planning. N. C.

Churchill Is Expected As Spokesman "Well Informed" Sources Say Five - Member Cabinet Is Likely; Meanwhile, Britain Extends War on Nazi Sea Commerce London, March 25.— (AI * >—Prime Minister Chamberlain kept his own cbuncil over Easter week-end con cerning expected changes in his cab inet but some speculation predicted a "war cabinet' of five members would ue named. The London Star quoted "well in formed political circles" as saying such a group would be composed of the Prime Minister, Foreign Secre tary Lord Halifax, Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir .John Simon, Lord Privy Seal Sir Samuel Hoare, and Winston Churchill, first lord of the Admiralty. Under this scheme, Churchill would act as spokesmen for all the lighting services and the supply and snipping ministry. Meanwhile, Britain's war ships scoured Germany's North sea ship ping lanes in an effort to strangle her trade with Scandinavia, while suspicion mounted that the Reich might be engineering a grab of Ru mania's oil. Pushing the blockade further from home shores, British counted three blows against Germany's merchant marine in the mine-infested waters of eastern North sea. Two German cargoes carriers be came the war's first merchantman victims of British submarines dur ing the Easter holidays. The British also credited naval ac tion for the grounding of a 5,000 ton German freighter which ran ashore on Jutland.

'"Whose book is it?" Lynch asked. "I don't care to say," Dolson snapped back. "It's under the name of Franklin D. Roosevelt." Previous committee witnesses have said that communist party members use names different from their own for party membership cards and books.
