? Morrow ^ewmgisf All
WMtdhgtom, Nov. 19.?^epublkan
party>skttvitaes are expected to point
now toward the renomination of-Preo
ident Hoover some 18 months hence.,
in thn opinion of many here.
This is not ? subject Republican
national committee officials care to
discuss officially. But majority opin
ion hare is that Mr. Hoover will se&
anothr four years and that work of
the Republican national committee
will natarally lead that way indirectly
The committee officially has to do
with electron of the ticket, not with,
nominations. ?
Some believe an effort will be made
by a number of anti-prohibitionist?
. and - others to push Senator-elect
Dwight W. Morrow, of New Jersey,
forward as a rival candidate. Morrow
baa indicated, however, he expects to
vote for jy Hoover in 1932. He fc
refusing W give encouragement to
those who would advance his name.
Prevailing opinion among politi
cians here is that Mr. Hoover hopes
for aa opportunity during a second
term in which he might under more
favorable economic conditions, demon
strate his abilities more fully. There
is also the feeling among many that
th retirement of Mr. Hoover, whether
forced cur voluntary, would be repre
sented by the opposition as a confes
sion of failure. The story is that Mr.
Cootidge, when told the people might
again turn to him in 1982, remarked
that if Mr. Hoover was not renominat
ed, the Republican nomination would
be worthless , to anybody.
Party organisation matters were
discussed by President Hoover with
a group of party officials this week.
Those present were J. R. Nutt, party
treasurer; Jeremiah Milbank, eastern
treasurer; James Francis Burke,
committee counsel and Robert H. Lu
cas, executive director of the com
mittee. The fact that Senator Sim
eon D. Fees, Republican national
chairman, was not present, though in
the city, occasioned much speculation
as to the possibility of his early re-'
tirement. However, both Senator Fess
and Lucas insisted there was no sig
nificance in this and that the chair
man had been fully apprised of the
discussion and approved everything
done.
The fact is that the Republican
party treasury is about as low as a
child's saving account the day after
the rent is due. It has less than $10,
008, winch is small change as Repub
lican party finances go. Many times
that amount is necessary to carry on
the preparation for the critical 1932
fight. Funds are to be solicited for a
big. campaign of "education.'' The Re
publicans hope to outdo the Demo
cratic publicity campaign which har
rassed some Republicans during -the.
Congressional contests.

SERVE PORK FRESH
BY USING CANNER
Use Of Pressure Canner En
ables Housewife To Serve
Fresh Pork Throughout
Entire Year.
Fresh pork, formerly available on
most farms at hog killing time only,
may now be made available through
out the year by using the pressure
canner.
This is how Mr. Cornelia C. Mor
ris, food conservation expert at
State College tells bow to do it:
Select fresh dean meat without
fat and cook for serving without
over-cooking. Season lightly with
salt and pepper. Remove -the bones
because this reduces the processing
time. Cut the meat into pieces suit
able for serving and pack while hot
into clean, sterilized cans or jars.
Cooking the meat before canning
brings.out its flavor and shrinks it
so that more can be put into a can.
' Now use the pressure canner only.
Other methods ere unsafe. Howev
er, either tin cans or glass jars may
be used.

NEW WINTER PE A

Ifce Austrian Winter Pea,
In^bdnced In This State
Within Past Few Years,
Is Excellent Soil Builder.

?? *. - . ., - t
The Austrian Winter pea, intro-;
iuced into North Carolian in the,
ast two or three rears, is the equal,
if any other winter legume as a soil
milder. '?/
This is the indication we mast
iccept from a series of demonsira
nons conducted on the t.rm of H.
V. Bullard of Orrum, Robeson coun
y," says Enos C. Blair, extension
igrononiist at State College. "In
October 19^9, Mr. Bullard planted
jfrts of Austrian Winter peas, hairy
$tch, crimdsn clover, and barley
sid e by side on a uniform piece of
soil. In April, 1930, nil of these
srops had made good, growth and
vere turned under in preparing (the
and for com. The barley, being a
non-leguminous plant, was used as !
t check to team of the effect of the
egumes."
The results were very interesting,
says Mr. Blair. Tie corn grown onj
he different piote was recently har
vested and weighed showing the
Field after .barley to be 30 bushels
in acre. The yield following the
lairy vetch was 39 bushels an Sere;
he -yield following the crim&n clo
ver was 42 bushels and that after the
lustrian Winter' peas was 42 bushels
m acre.
In other words, the plowing under
miry, vetch increased the yield of
rorn by' nine bushel^ while plowing,
inder the crimson clover and the
lustrian pea increased it by 12 bush
ils each.

L M. Meeldna, InUnJtd States Diet->?/.
tict Court, that he had defrauded two
illiterate old Negro-women out of the
greater part of the pensions the gov- .
ernmept had given them following
the of their veteran- *iMr Ig
noring '' attorneys' protests and'
preacher's plea alike, Judge Meeldns
sentenced Douglas to a year and a
day in the Federal-prison at Atlanta
and, after court, described' the fraud
as one of the "dirtiest" he had ever
known a lawyer to -commit
w
| j. Douglas was charged arid tried not
for embezzlement but for a violation
of Section 651, Title 38, Pensions,
Bonuses and Veterans' Relief, U. S.
Code, which says that "payment for
| any; .attorney or agent for shch as
sistance as may be required in the .
preparation and execution of the
necessary papers in any application
tin tine (Veterans') Bureau shall not
exceed $10 in any one case," and adds
that violation of this section is a mis
demeanor punishable with a $500 fine
up to two years in imprisonment or
both, But when Douglas had made his
statement Judge Meekins said: "By
your own statement you are guilty of
embezzlement"
One of the two old Negro women,
defrauded by Douglas, Charlotte
Brown, is deadL Evidence, however,
showed that Douglas had collected a
check for $1,920 for her, had per
suaded her to endorse the check with
out knowing the amount, had deposit
ed the check to his own account and
drawn $920 on his own check and had
turned over that and only that to the
Negro. The only difference in this
case between the government's evi
dence mid the statement of the defend
ant was the government contended,
(hat he had gotten $20 of the $920
from her as his fee while Douglas ,
claimed she got $920 of the $1,910 due '
&er under the iaw. -
Lucy Powell, the second Negro
woman, was a . witness in the cake.
According to government officials it
was her suspicions that started in
vestigation of the caae. On the stand
she, an amusing old woman, described '
how Douglas had covered up. the
check he had received from the Vet
erans' Bureau while having her make'
her mark as an endorsement of the
check. Douglas then deposited the
check, which was for $796, said the
amount was for $300 and gave the
old woman $280. Lucy, however, was
suspicious and told the story to her
son who, with another man, went to
the lawyer and got the money back.
But the government heard of the case.
After court ftev. C. L. Reda, Meth- .
odist minister of Tarboro who is
Douglas' pastor, came to Judge Meek-,
ins, saying that if it was not In con
tempt of court he would like to make
a plea for Douglas. Be described the
lawyer as "highly respected" and,
hitherto, a good and regular member,
of the church. Judge Meekins thanked
him for his interest and promised to
"think it over." Douglas had a num
ber of witnesses who said he had a
good character. s
