Vanderbilt, credited in some quar ters with having supplied the ma terial for General Butler's recent charge that the Italian Premier was quilty of a hit-run motoring offense, made this known late last night. His announcement came during discussion of a statement by the Ital ian foreign that Vanderbilt, a former .newspaper publisher, once had been granted a "brief audience" with Mussolini. The foreign office statement was in the nature of an amendment to one issued by it last week to the effect that Mussolini had never met ^poung *'~v Viin f ftQCKfvlzvt "They seem to be backing down a bit, doat they?" the young former publisher said.

"That audience, resulting in a pub lished interview in 1926," be- said, "was- 4,M6 words long. Anyone can exercise his own judgment as to whether 4,000 words is "brief.'

Before laying aside the Howell bill yesterday the senators did take from It the most controversial feature, a drastic provision for the search of private homes to or from which liquor had been transported.

DESIGNATES WEEK OF UVE AT HOUr Governor Gardner1 Sets Aside Week Beginning February 16 For Second State-wide Observ ance; Says School Children Can Be Great Help. Raleigh, Feb. 4.?Asking that spec ial emphasis be placed again this year upon the efforts to convey to students and their parents a true picture of the agricultural situation in the State, Governor Gardner has designated the week beginning February 16 as the second annual "Live-at-Home Week." During the week efforts will be made by more than 24,000 teachers in 6,000 schools to carry to 875,000 pupils and their parents the basic idea of "Farm to Make a Living in 1931." "Last year school superintendents, county and local, supervisors, princi pals and teachers participated in the program. The teachers of vocational agriculture in the public high schools not only worked in the schools in which they were regularly employed but also rendered valuable services throughout the entire country and often 4n adjoining counties," the-Gov ernor said, adding "the-live-at-home program has for its main purpose the encouraging of all of us engaged in AntMAlvAa QTlH fft 12U~IXIiU? vv giVTT v~ supply ourselves with all the food and feed-stuffs and live-stook-producte necessary for family and farm coo sumption the year round- It would al so encourage us to grow enough sur plus to supply the small towns and the cities which are our logical mar kets? and it would encourage the city folk of this state to give a preference to the North Carolina farmer in their purchase of the supplies' which he grows." Governor Gardner, in his message, states that the school children should be interested in and should support the live-at-home program because: . 1. They > can become acquainted with the agricultural conditions -and needs of the State. 2^ They can help secure the'good will of the parents and neighborsior .the movement. 8.

The doors were locked im mediately. Bishop .W. N.

He informed them "this is an ec cleiastical prooteedings carried on as a church law prescribes Shd nothing will be given to the public until it~"is over. When a conclusion is reached, I will give out the results as well as the names of the men who art con- ' ducting the hearing." He then stepped back into the church, the door was closed and the policeman mounted guard. Cannon is facing charges filed by four prominent pastors of the church.

Shortage' Of Food' StmxOhies Farmers To Plant Enengfc Food" old Feed For Family And Comtog Sea son j Will Nbt Depend On The Money Crop Only. * l W ashiiigton;?Diversified faming to replace the traditional one-crop practice will be extensively introduc ed in-the drought areas of the lower Mississippi Valley and the Midwest when spring planting begins. This is the striking' observation made by Dr. Willi aid Dfe Kfene, director of the mecBiuil and "kealth service of the Redr Cross,' on his recent return from a two week's inspection trip. Farmers who have devoted themselves exclu sively to Cotton are now making plans for vegetable gardens to supply their homtes, ahd for fodder crops of alfal fa, grain add hay. Heretofore they have been dependent on a single crop, ? buying their necessities in the open markets. Better food habits are sure ? to result from diversified farming and gardening, in the doctor's belief, which would tend to eradicate pellag ra and other dietary diseases. Dr. DeKleine said that one of the remarkable results of the food short age has been an awakened interest in the value of foods and the part that a varied diet plays in health. The ap plicants are allowed to order their own food from the groceries, and chapter workers and in many instanc es the grocers themselves, advise them to eat more vegetables. Planters are taking a similar interest in the diet of their tenants. "? 1 M T~V "l am uxorougniy convmcea," lit. DeKleine observed, "that, speaking in general terms, the food shortage has not adversely affected the health of the people to any serious extent, ow ing to the promptness of relief." He added that a wonderful oppor turiity for educational health work had been opened by the drought, of which the medical and health work ers should be quick to take advantage. The problem of caring for the live stock is being-solved at least in a measure by the' mild winter in the drought arsad-of' tipper Louisiana"and' of- Mississippi, where there is some green pasture. Further north, the cold weather has checked the growth of grass. Although the mild winter has so far prevented acute suffering from lack of clothing, favorable weather is not expected to continue. Dr. DeKleine believes that the clothing shortage has so far resulted in relatively little harm to health. Yet lack of clothes is keeping large numbers of children from school. The doctor thinks that if the mild grippe now sweeping parts of the country strikes into the drought section, the need of warm clothing will be all important, owing to the danger of pneumonia from chill and exposure. Some evidences of grippe are noticeable in Mississippi and Ken tucky, although not approaching an epidemic in volume. Steps are now being taken to remedy the clothing problem of the children. The only food that the drought vic tims receive is from the Red Cross, distributed by the chapters. In Arkan sas and elsewhere Dr. DeKleine found the people grateful to the Red Cross for its efforts. Garden Seeds To Be Ordered. A report from Viekaburg, Mississ ippi, states that plans for a spring garden program among rural families affected by the drought in Missis*- . ippi, Louisiana, Kentucky and Tennes see were completed there a few daya ago at a special meeting of the Red Cross workers directing the relief in those States. Owing to its southern situation, the distribution of frarden seed will begin first in the sou them area and extend north as the cold re cedes with the approach of iipring. The order for the seed will be placed without delay. It will consist of green vegetables suitable for this section and its people. These vegetables will supplement the regular feeding pro gram. At the Vicksburg meeting, arrange ments were perfected for continued feetfing of drought sufferers in the States concerned through February, involving 103,000 persons in Louisiana and: 75,000 in Mississippi. Similar steps will be taken at a gathering of relief workers in Kentucky and Tenn essee. All workers were carefully instruct ed regarding the proper ration for the people of each section to ensure the maintenance of normal standards. Streks was laid particularly upon cor rective foods such as tomatoes and cabbage, supplemented by powdered yeast when necessary. Provision wps madfe for supplying milk and spddd ? cerekls to families with small child-' reh as additions to their regular diet - Workers were instructed to report areas where it was ad disable to dis pense school lunches in addition' to the regular rationing, owing1 to -tha prevalence of undernourished child ren in the drought areas. ?
