Endorsement of C?tf?
ence Report, 51 To 40,
Settles Major PoHdes?
Raleigh, April 6.?A State-wide,
State-supported eight-months public
school term for North Carolina was
assured by the Bouse of Representa
tives in voting 51' to <? to adopt the
appropriations bOl conference report.
Action of foe. House in accepting
the supply bill carrying total appro
priations of $83,159,218 for foe bien
nium beginning July 1 also brought
legislative adjournment definitely in
sight. The report was not voted
upon in the Senate pending House
action* but jts adoption today is a
foregone conclusion.
Settlement ofvthe spending prob
lem with general recognition that s.
sales tax must be levied to balance
the budget left just one more major
problem for the Assembly?the
nue bill specifying form and amount
(ft taxes.
"Work on the revenue bah, delayed
pending final action upon appropria
tions, will get under way again this
morning at 9:30 o'clock when the
House finance committee meets to
make up revenue schedules to fit the
spending pattern.
"The finiace committee now is in
IK ?
position to go forward," declared
Representative ' R. A. Doughton
Heuse chairman.
Actual settlement of the appro-1
jriations issue was anti-climatic. Al-1
though ii was known that the vote I
represented the difference between!
agreement upon the bigger prob-f
lems before the Assembly and pros- J
port of early adjournment, or the!
definite beginning of another dead-1
lode such as kept the 2931 Legisla-j
tore in session for 141 days, therej
were few spectators in lobbies and!
gallery and 12 of the 120 members!
absent and not paired
Early on the ninety-tiiird day of!
the session, when the appropriations j
bill conferees agreed, the feeling de-j
veloped that the battle was over. By j
the afternoon session, administration j
forces were predicting a majority 1
of 1& Opponents of the report vir-1
tafcfiy admitted defeat even while
spraking vigorously against it I
jFhe note was taken at 5:30 o'clock |
yesterday aftenoon. I
Representative T. C. Bowie of Ashe, j
leader of the anti-sales tax, drastic-1
economy bloc, was not present. The J
member was aide abed in bis!
hotel, bat Ida rote, through a pair,!
was recorded against the report car
rying $16,00?,000 for the eight-mcnths
school term and providing State De
partment salary cuts of 33 per cent \
fcpm 1930 levels. Mr. Bowie had bat
tled for 410,000,OOP for schools, a 44
p# cent salary cut, and abolition
or many pubKe functions retained
in the bill that was adopted.:

Washington, .April 5.?President
Roosevelt's huge public works bill
was outlined yesterday by Chairman
Vinson of the house naval committee
as including provision^'for the con
struction of 30 new warships costing
$280,000,000. :
That was the forecast he made to
day after talking with the President.
Vinson said the only question in his
mind was "when the bill will be
sent to Congress rather* than whether
it will include this constA<uction."
The program which he discussed
with the President, he told news
papermen, would "still leave us way
under Japan, Great Britain, France
ahd Italy in actual combatant ships
except battleslups."
I It contemplates initial work on 20
[destroyers and four submarines with
in 90 days after the bill passes, arid
the beginning of construction on
two airplane carriers of 13,600 tons
each and four 10,000 ton 6-inch gun I
[cruisers within six months.
Estimates by the navy, Vinson
said, are that 260,000 men would be
given employment directly and in
directly through this program.
"To be conservative," he added,
"my guess would be nearer 160,000
?but it's just a guess for anybody.
The navy and I might both be
wrong."
Vinson said that out of every dol
laiJ spent on a naval vessel, 85 cents
goes for labor?45 cents to workers
in the yards and 40 cents to em
ployes in outside plants.
"This program," he asserted,
"would start-industry. It would stim
ulate the steel mills,' the lumber
plants, the electrical equipment man
ufacturers and give a great boost
to railroads, by providing them with
something to hauL
"In addition, it would give work
to thousands of highly skilled work

cannot be benefited by any other
kind of public works."

Assembly
8&j2fegg ;: . " . '? *>? ? ?& .. ..?-.- ?,.
Raleigh, April 6.?The bill intro
duced in the House Tuesday by Rep.
itfasittibtuft of Pork permitting-the
manufacture of beer in North -Caro~k
lina is expected to be passed by the /, "
general assembly by approximately?.,
the same majority by which the
Francis bill permitting the sale of
fader and wines *a? passed by the
two ; houses, according to opinion
nere+ -k .
There was a concerted movement
when the Francis bill was being pass
ed by the house to tsek on an
amendment permitting the manu
facture of beer, but it was decided:
by those who were considering the
amendment to wait until the Fame is
bill had paased and to . incorporate
the manufacture of beer' in si new
bilL
There is little opposition in the
general assembly to the passage of
a bill permitting the . manufacture
of beer and Wines in the state, since
it is generally recognized that not
only will a number of industries in
the state benefit from such legisla
tion, but that it will also result in
Increased employment
While these advantages are Co
be obtained within the near future,
it is said by those who have been
studying the situation, the manufac
ture of beer An North Carolina has
many other potentialities. Already
it is understood several firms are
considering putting up breweries in
some of 'the larger cities of the state
if the beer manufacture bill goes
through, giving employment to hun
dreds of workers.
North Carolina industry is already
feeling the result of the passage
by Congress of a bill permitting the
sale and manufacture of 3.2 percent ?
wine and beer, and it is believed
that the legalization of the manu
facture of beer in this state will fur
ther ; stimulate certain industries.
Sdveral factories in the Piedmont
section of the state have already re- x
ceived large orders for staves and
barrels, while some lumber com
panies are doing a boom-time busi
ness. ? . ?
Hundreds of men have been put to
work in the woods cutting hickory
and oak staves at about $9, a day. Not
only is it believed that several brew
eries would locate in North Carolina
should the Messenburg bill pass, but
it is also thought likely that
the establishment of one or more
bottle factories may result, since
North Carolina produces about half
the feldspar in this country which
is one of the chief ingredients used
in the manufacture of glass.
It is also pointed out that If it Is
expected that North Carolina wiD
raise as much as $1,500,000 from
revenue on the sale of beer, the
revenue on the sale of beer, the
money that Tar Heels will pay for
this foaming beverage of modest a!- '
coholic content will amount to many
times that amount Most of this
noney will go out of the state, since
the bejer that will be put on the
market in North Carolina, unless it
is manufactured in this state, will
:ome from the breweries in the east
uid middle west
The argument advanced by the
sponsors of the Massenburg bill is
that at least a part of this vast
amount of money should be kept in
North Carolina!. Even if this legisla
tion does not result in the establish
ment of breweries in the state, it
wifl be a safeguard in the future,
they claim, pointing to the fact that
i situation could arise whereby beer
might be sold to North Carolina at
i monopolistic pries by outside con
terns yrho would be secure in the
knowledge .that the North Carolina
law does not permit the manufao ?
:ure of ibeir within the state.
The grape industry is another fac
tor,^P*rts of North Carolina pro
luce excellent grapes. While there la V
some doubt whether there wilLbp
appreciable market for 82 perdMBfr \
vine?indeed, ft is generally argeed^'; V r?;
that there is no such product as
Ml wine?it is pointed out that
some way may develop whereby 3.2
