The bill would provide a maximum ol $30 per month to persons ever 65 years ot age, who have no m*an3 of support, and who are not in mates of instuuuiuis. Tiom $30 a month the amount to eacn pensionei would range downward to ls little as J5.00 a month, the amount depending upon the circumstances and needs oi the indigent aged person, and upon gny other sources of incom* which he might have. There is no doubt that the bill will pass. Everybody sterns agreed upon that; but the qucstrin is as to whether the burden of financing it will be divided between the Federal, State and couuty governments, or whether the members from the SO weaker coun ties mil be able to muster sufficient strength to shift tho burden to the State to finance the whole of North Carolina's part of the burden, instead cf making the counties pay part of it One concession has been gained by those counties, in the committee work in that provision is mad? ioi the set ting up of an equalizing fund, similar t<> that which prevailed in school wor' before the State took over the entin business of operating all the school for eight months. Free school books for all children up to the high school grades is a measure pending before tie commit tee, nud which .seems ccrfru n of ptis sage. That, too; viii require a con siderublc sure to finance; and evei. the advocates of liquor stores ar not sure that the liquor sales will bring in enough money *o raise an appreciable amount of the ueeded additional funds, without making the iiquor tns so iiii,'h liia.

Another bill is before the House which would provide for tue licensing oi distilleries in North Cholina, tbu* giving I ha State a sLot at collecting money from both wholes# i and re tail sales of liquor. It has received little attention; but it probable that should tho Sonate adopt the H*n ford bill that the Hous j passed, some auch measure to permit distillers to operate in the State will also be en acted. tteprcsontacive Walter Murphy, the ve.eiun member of the Hjusc, has in troduced a bill to j;i!ow divorced wo men to u6sume their maiden names, upon application and registration with clerk* of tho Snpcrior Court in which tbey reside. i A bill aimed at drunkea driver* is i pending. It would make it a tr.isde ncanor for the operator of a filling [ station or garage to sell gasoline, oil, tires, etc., or to service an automobile for a person und^r thd influence oi intoxicants or narcotics. Another biM, directed principally a: drunks, but also designed to relieve -?ounties and eities of the coat of feed g short-term prisoners, was intro it fad by Representative Tom Roystei r" Iranville.

Washington, Feb. 10?Strikes and Floods occupy l.rst piace m iue minds of official Washington, upset ting or deranging plans and programs of legislative and administrative agen cies. The strike situation is giving the Government more concern than is in dicated by official utterances. How to remain entirely neutral in the three cornered labor controveib^ between General Motors, the Lewio C. I. 0. labor organization and the Federation of Labor is puzzling the Administra tion. The major issue is wi.ether the Federal government uhall gl^e opon or ; tacit sanction to the principle of "sit down" strikes, where workers take possession of an industry, refuse ei; ti er to work or to leave the property, and prevent others from working. The statement by the Secretary of Labor, Miss Perkins, that the legality >f the sit-down strike has never been settled does not reflect the general view in Administration ehcles. But everyone concerned hesitates to ap >rove or order any action looking to the forcible removal of sit-down strik ers from the General Motors plants. Washington has not forgotten the forcible eviction of the boi<us march ers from the government bui'dinga of which they had taken ill?jgal posses sion, and the disastrous j-olit cal ef fect upon President Hoover which en sued. This administration does not want to run the risk of arousi g Labor's antagonism-. Yet as long as the man agement of General Motors refuses to negotiate for a settlement of the ques tions involved until the si4-down strik ers evacuate the company's properly, a serious deadlock exists which the Government has no power tr break. That is why Secretary Perkins has asked Congress to give her power to issue subpoenas and so command the attendance of all concernel at confer ences on labor questions. Some observers here ar? pointing to what they regard as a parallel be tween the Generl Motors sit-down Strike and those which occurred in Italy in 1922. In Italy groups of workers, avowedly Communists, took possession of automobile and other factories and not only occupied them, but undertook to operatp them. A young Socialist newspaper Man named Benito Mussolini offered a so'utHi which the King of Italp accepted, a system of State Socialism which he tailed Facism. The disastrous floods have brought the subject of flood control sharply to the foreground. Congress acred speed ily in appropriating $790,dCO,CO(hv' :c . ibe President had asked lor relief pur poses. Much of this, it is anticipated, will be spent for the relief and re! a bilitation of those who loot hoiie.: v. property in the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys. It is also the expectation tliat It'sCjoing Zxm CA Long %&)ar by A- L chapin some of that appropriation will go to |ward starting flood-control works in various parts of the countr' under the so-called "Jadwin Plan" ' After the 1927 flood in the lower Mississippi, General Jad .Mr and the Army Engineer Corps worked out a comprehensive plan reach]),p to the farthest headwaters of a'l 'he impor tant rivers of the nation. By me:i:s of reservoirs, dams, dvkrs and dro<l% ing this plan, it is beliewd. cou!d re tard the flow of heavy ra ns or me' - ing snow and so avert luture '? The drawback has been the enor mous cost. The Jadwin plan c^ntnn pated that individual stntes would bear the cost of the nec.s;-,arv works inside their boundaries. But states be gan 'to ask why they should spend money at the headwaters merely to keep some other state. farther down river, from being flooded. The belief here is :hat flcod control will be accepted now as r national problem transcending stat interests, and that a begrnning wil' be toward carrying out the Jr.dwin P;p'7 as an exclusively Federal iindertaking. Something of the nature of a new NRA is defHiely in the making. Trades and industries are to be au thorized to make agreements themselves on what consti utes unf?"V competition or ot^er fr^ ,/" practices; euch agreemen ?? to cover minimom wages and maxnr.um hours of work. As outlined, tne proposed law would make violati >nB of such \oluntarv aBXP^n^nfs ilhr^r1 and r>nn ishable by penalties imposed by F^d? eral eourta. On Capitol Hill there is talk of go* > ing much farther, and imvo?ifLg excise ? taxes upon business ooncvns propor tioned to the to wr? b ctm (Phm 1m Xo -i -.V .-.'l .J ' ?"
