There is r. big fight, which will not be finished until tht evenue bill has finally passed ioth .ouses, for it is certain that no mater what course the Finance Committee will take, the other side will tght clear on through both houses. ' The real question is as to where the noney is needed the worst, whether n ihe public schools or on the roads, i rn other words, whether tire ieacners ..ill get it, or the highway engineers will spend it. Just v/here the fight will conclude md the General Assembly pack ite ' oag a.-id go home, is a problem. Fol- jJ low the recommendations of the Bui% get Commission, and this will probably be a short session. Refuse to use gasoline money for the schools and other general State purposes and the members will be in Raleigh still trying to find five million dollars, when the folks back home are hoeing corn. ... Alter all, it is every cent the State's money, and the real question, regardless of how the waters may he muddied, is where the money is needed to be spent the worst, or as to where its expenditure brings the greatest good to the greatest number. iC v.as trough? out in Approprteitinns .Committee the other day that l the T General Assembly should deide to add jgrade number twelve1 in ;he ppblic school system, It would not .-ill be done at once; but the school people would make the addition gradually, as money was available, an . onditions permitted. In other words he big counties would get their 12th vjrade before the rest of us, and maybe a long time before.

Received 12,000 Telegrams . One of the new Republican' Senary reported that he had ' received ?me 12,000 telegrams 'and more ** .an that number of letters from .iters in his own state, urging him ) follow Father Coughlin's advice. It so happened that he was op' jsed to lifting the embargo, anyay, so these communications were J ~ much washed" ammumCdh. " ;; Hut tills Senators comment, based pon wide political experience and itimate understanding of tiie people if his state, was that he was cer,ar that the question of the Spansh arms embargo was one to which ?is constituents were entirely indif.erent and that this was an attempt .o fool him into believing that the /oters were all stirred up about it The demand for "liberalizing" Old Age Pensions is likely to be one of .he most hotly-debated and longdrawn-out discussions on record, bei'or this Congress adjourns. The hearings on the Social Security Act amendments, concerning ... which there is as yet no general agreement except that the law as it "stands is ctumsy ami difficult to ad- _ ^ minister, - will become the forum for the discussion of the Townsend.

Wheeier, but everybody who watches what is going on under the surface of things in Washington concedes they are making headway. Aside from the Old Age Pension group, the only one of the pressure blocks which is da nanding increased government spending is the W.PJV. The largest demand for additional spending, aside frGm pensions and relief, so far, has come from the Administration.
