' Money Measure Given Approval Short of Needs The finance Committee Votes to Report Out KB to Raise $62,709, 000 in 2 Years; Allot ments Approved Run To $65,514,000 7?V: Raleigh, March 13.?The task of preparing a balanced budget for the State fPr the next two yean, ap peared last night to be one to be performed by the General Assembly rather that its two money commit tees. i The joint Finance Committee had voted in the afternoon to send to the floor the revenue, bill as it now stands, despite the fact that the $62, 709,000 it is calculated to raise dur ing the two years is more that $2300,000 short of the $65,514,000 in allocations that have been approved by the joint Appropriations Com mittee. ;* ? While this committee has not agreed to report the appropriations bill in this form, it has been on the verge of adopting it since last week and there was little to indicate last night that the committee was in a mood to recede from its high ap propriations. ? Hie committee will meet again today and may make some effort! to come nearer a balanced budget,; but it was learned last night that the appropriations measure as it now stands is being prepared for the printers, including that the committee is of a mind to stand fast to its actions and let the finishing touches be put on the balancing-the budget-job on the Assembly floor, hi the status in which it was adopted yesterday, the money rais ing measure will bring into the State's Treasury an estimated $31, 217,000 the first year of the bienni um and $31,492,000 the second year. Against this, the Appropriations) Committee has voted to spend $32, 311,120 the first year and $33,203,000 the second year. - - ??? ?%% i . -) The finance Dm win De repor?*i, Representative Gregg Cherry of Gaston, House chairman, said, as soon as the amendments can be written in probably Thursday or Friday. Representative Victor Bry ant of Durham, House appropria tions chairman, has indicated that he will report out the appropria tions measure this week, in some form. The appropriations chairman call ed their committee together yester day afternoon and waited fcr sev eral hours for word from the Fi nance Committee, with whom they had conferred at a morning ses sion, but with no word forthcoming from that group, adjourned without taking any action toward changing any adopted figures. A sub-committee reported recom mending the re-enactment of the 1933 provisions providing for the collection of the sales tax, amended to provide penalties for misleading advertising and to clarify the pro visions, was adopted. The commit tee also placed the seal of its ap proval on an amendment offered by Commissioner Maxwell, requir ing that excess sales tax collections must be paid over to the State. A motion for reconsideration of the amendment to tax stock certifi cates, thrown out last week, was again defeated, although its propo nents argued that $1,000,000 could be raised annually from this source. At the morning session, the com mittee voted to recommend that the Legislature est the maximum sales tax on any one sale at $10, the pres ent amount,* after automobile dealers (Contiqued en pegs Two) W.J.

Washington, March 12.?With Rep resentative O'Connor of New York, chairman of the rales committee, raising the cry of "support the ad ministration," the House today not only voted down the amendment of Representative Hancock to elimi nate the increase from $2,000 to $25, 000 of the limit on unsecured reno vation loans on buildings, but adopt ed the Walcott amendment raising the limit to $50,000 as it passed the bill to give more money to the Home Owners' Loan Corporation. Representative Hancock sought to keep such loans confined to homes, but sought in vain. All members of the North Carolina delegation voted with him, but he was defeated, 1197 to 88. However, the bill as it passed the | House contained the Hancock amendment adopted last week which extends the aid of the corporation to all. those who have to date sought the aid of the HOLC in good faith or shall do so by letter or other wise before the effective date of > the act. If the hill becomes law in the form in which it passed the House, any home owner who has heretofore sought the aid of the corporation, or who will do so before final action by corporation, will be permitted to file a formal application for a loan within 60 days after the effective date of the act. * ONLY TWO VOTES CAST j AGAINST HOLC MEASURE. Washington, March 12. ? With! only two votes against it, the House I passed today the measure which! provides an additional $1,750,000,0001 for the Home Owners.' Loan Corpo ration to 'help mortgage-burdened home owners* The bill was sent to the Senate! after repeated attempts to raise the $1,750,000,000 to $8,000,000,000 were beaten. Members of the bankiugj committee gave assurance again 'and I again that the bill provided suffi-j cient funds to help deserving home owners in distress. Even so, the committee itself had I added $250,000,000 to the $1,500,000, 000 originally in the measure. It also wrote in a provision that new ap-J plications for help might be filed! for 60 days after the hill becomes j law, * Only eight of two-score amend ments Were accepted. One of the last I adopted boosted from $25,000 to $50, 000 the limit on loans?insured up to 20 per cent by the Federal Hous ing Administration?made by pri vate lending agencies for repair and improvement of commercial struct ures. Asserting that if the government 1 guaranteed these loans, $200,000,000 would be handed the bankers of I the country, Representative Han cock (P., N. C.), demanded the en tire section covering them be lifted] out of the bill. The $200,000,000 is the amount] provided in the housing act fori modernization loans cm homes.. The new bill would open the fund to commercial modernization loans. While they made a last-minute attempt to shunt the measure back! to the banking committee, the Re publican opposition to the bill j dwindled - down to Representatives ] Andrews of New York and Merritt] of Connecticut. * . East Carolina Printers Hold Meet In Farmville The East Carolina Printers Asso ?'?tjnii held its meeting in Farmville, Saturday evening, with members from Greenville, Kinston, Ayden, Wilson and Rocky Mount in attendance. Following a 3 course dinner Served at the Davis Hotel, the printers held their meeting in the office, on The Bpuflft. Printery. The re-election of the following of ficers tpofc place during the course of the evening: G. Alex Rouse, Farm ville, president; W. G. Bobbins, of Rocky Mount, vice president; Henry W.

"L? ??>. ?' l'-;"''-vV ? -"'5 --g;1 'L /--or . w . ? , . I _ Through State Capitst kiyiisles By Bess Hintoir Silver ' . . ? ' ?J New THREAT?Information ema-1 sating from Washington, IX C., in dicates the certain candidacy of Con-) greasman Lindsay C. Warren, of Washington, N. C., in opposition to Senator Josiah Bailey in 1936. While Senator Bailey has gone to the aid of President Roosevelt in recent weeks in a spectacular manner it is pointed out by Warren supporters that the primary of next spring "is just arofind the corner." Senator Bailey was said to have lost ground in his opposition to enactmept of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, the Bankhead cotton control bill, the seed loan act, the St Lawrence wat erway act, the soldiers' bonus pro posal, all except the last sponsored by President Roosevelt. RECORD?Friends of Congress man Warren are pointing to his record, on the foregoing legislation and say that his action meets with approval of , all parties concerned. XJnless something unforeseen hap pens it can be safely said that Sena tor Bailey will face potent opposition next year and its better than an even bet that Congressman Warren will provide a substantial part of that opposition. Warren is known ! as a liberal and enjoys the reputation of being close to President Roose velt and vice president John N. Gar ner. CHANGED MINDS?Ra, agh poli ticians are .changing their miTHl" about the intention of R. T. Fountain, former Lieutenant Governor, to run for the United States Senate in op position of Senator J. W. Bailey and all comers next year. Fountain is a frequent visitor to legislative halls and can be seen often talking seri ously with men who supported him against Governor Ehringhaus in the primaries of three years ago. The opinion is that his earnestness bears out his statement that he will run next spring, no matter which way the wind blows. PAROLES?A small war, conduct ed mostly under cover, is being wag ed at the office of State Parole Com missioner. Some of the wise boys have been taking notes and avow that many attorneys ? who have been disappointed in pleas for executive clemency are in the ranks of the campaigners against Edwin M. Gill, Parole Commissioner. Establish - ment of a parole board of several members would only effect recom mendations, since the Governor is the only man who can sign releases from prison in this State. TAXES?Don't get too excited about the proposal , the levy a three per cent income tax on dividends, fqpm stocks in domestic corporations. It may not be done. Many of the legislators who voted for. the pro posal in committee did it simply to get the revenue bill out on the floor of the House. Privately they have announced intention of fighting this tax on the floor of House and Sen ate. They call it double taxation bet its proponents say it gets the folks who are really able to pay. YOUR MONEY?It now appears I certain the General Assembly is go ing to take $1,660,000 of your gas oline money and spend it here, there and everywhere. It will be done by levying the three per cent sales tax on the money collected from auto license tags and gasoline taxes. The people paid it for roads bat that doesn't appear to cut much ice with the boys who like the diversion idea. Now the counties are trying to get the State to return to them at once, money loaned for construction of I roads faster than the highway pro gram called for. The raid on the highly fund isn't oyer in this Gen eral Assembly by anymeans. (continued on page &) ROTARIANS HEAR SCOUT TALKS Chief Scout Executive J. J. Sig wald of the East Carolina Council, and Assistant Executive Leon Kea ton, Jr., of Greenville, spoke before the regular weekly meeting of the Rotary Club here Tuesday night on "Scouting" and "Cubbing" respec tively. Edward Nash Warren, Scout master of ??Farmville's Scout troop 25, apd who is also a Rotarian.had charge of the program. The entire Farnjville troop of 18 boys was pres ent at the meeting with the Rotati ons, and afterwards adjourned to their log cabin headquarters in tfia town to hold the March Court of Honor. Four hoys at the Court, Horton Rountree, Jim Satterfiejd; Bobby Davis and Ben Rouse, were; advanced from Tenderfoot rank to second Class Scouts. fratntf Igatasl TtegMsg Hundred Tar Heels In cluded in Delegation Opposing Flannagan Measure Washington, Match 12.?Organiz ed and chaperoned by warehouse men, tobacco farmers 600 strong tonight invaded the Capitol to pro test against enactment of the pend ing tobacco grading bill which was introduced by Representative E. G. Flannagan, of Virginia. The crowd, which contained only a handful of supporters of the bill, wan so large that it was necessary to devote the first 30 minutes of the time allotted to the hearing to a transfer from the agricultural com mittee room in the new House Office building to the caucus room in the old House Office building. In order to obtain the room, the junior Con gress, composed of attaches of House members, was summarily adjourned. The North Carolina contingent, about 100 strong, was fortified not only by a. resolution of the North Carolina General Assembly in op position to . the bill, but by petitions signed by thousands of growers. Representative Flanagan, who cross-examined some of the wit nesses at length, said he was unim pressed by the. demonstration and would "stand pat" on his bill. Mr. Flannagan said he * would oppose the amendment for a referendum, which the North' Carolina delegation is now inclined to support, nowever, Mr. Flanriagan said he would gladly support the other amendment to transfer the cost of grading from the buyers to the government. "I will he delighted if approval of the Budget Bureau can be obtain^ ed for the amendment; I have tried to get it and failed/' said Mr. Flan nagan. The North Carolina delegation, which has experienced mass propa ganda at. this session on a basis never dreamed of before, attended the hearing tonight almost in a body. For the moment at least, the Flan nag an bill is producing more mail for North Carolina members than the Rayburn-Wheeler holding com pany bill, old-age pensions, pink slips, the bonus or any of .the meas ures whose proponents or opponents are able to flood Congressmen with thousands of letters and hundreds of telegrams. The speaking members of the Tar Heel contingent, some of whom will not be heard until tomorrow night, when, the hearings will be continu ed, were confined to the following: Jphn W. Holmes, Farmville; Sheriff White, Yadkin County; Si las Barr and Fulton Jacobs, Beaufort County; W. E. Baugham, Beaufort County; W. S.- Fleming, Oxford; and C. Willis Lee, Johnston County. Some of the best known North Carolina warehousemen present in cluded J. C. Eagles, Wilson; B. B. Sugg, Greenville; Holton Wallace, Smithfield; H. A. Early, Rocky Mount; M. O. Griffin, Wendell; and Ed Hooks, Kenly. Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee had equally impressive delegations on hand. 1 . The prime arguments made Against the bill were, that grading is not desired by growers or buyers, that it wiil not improve prices, and that it is a step in the direction of cooperative marketing.

Greenville, March 12.?At a meet ing of stockholders of the Green ville Banking and Trust Compariy here Monday night it was decided to change the name of the institu tion to Guaranty Bank and Trust Company. The change of name is the only change made in the insti tution, it was stated by W. H. Wool ard, executive vice-president. The change was made, he said, because of a desire to obtain uniformity in all places served by the institution and to get away from the local color as expressed in the name of the town where the parent institution is lo cated. : ' " In addition to the parent bank and branch here, the institution also operates branches at Bethel, Bel haven and Snow Hill. Preparations are under way today for establish ment of branches at Washington, N. C., and Williamston. The Greenville Banking and Trust Company was established here in 1901 with a capital of $10,000. It has grown to such an extent that its resources today, as contained in the last statement, were $4,930,413.02. Combined capital and surplus and profito were $520,369.56. E. G.

But Secretary Wallace, Cheater C. Davis, fa.-m administrator, and other officials involved met Smith's brief statement to newspaper man with the same silence that charac terized their attitude throughout the day, despite rumored state ments. Davis declined to discuss Smith's prediction. His only statement con cerning the cotton situation wasf "There is no immediate change con templated in the government's cot ton policy." ' Other officials would say only that the Commodity Credit Corporation, which makes the loans, had not dis cussed their continuation. They pointed out that last year's loan announcement was not made until August. Those quarters of the capital most interested in cotton were on tip-toe much of the day in the expectation of some official statement as to fu ture plans. Senator Smith had re ported yesterday that a statement would be forthcoming from the White House, At the Executfve Mansion, how ever, it was said that any such statement would come from Secre tary Wallace or one of his aides. But at the AAA, officials said noth ing of the kind was contemplated. ? Officials instead asserted that any announcement at present regarding a loan policy would oe premature and added that a guarantee of con tinuing the loans would be undoubt edly have the effect of stimulating production this year. Smith, chairman of cne Senate Agriculture Committee, told news paper men who asked him about the cotton situation that the loan would be continued, but he would add rio details. He did say, however, that he would seek a Senate investigation into the precipitate break in cot ton prices which provoked concern on Capitol Hill. The break was attributed by some to rumors that the government in tended to change its policy and that the Bankhead Act, compulsory cot ton control law, would be further liberalized. "I want to find out where these reports originated," Smith said. "I will ask my committee to report a resolution asking a Senate investi gation of the whole mtss if we have to subpoena cotton exchange officials as well as officials of the Department of Agriculture." Some observers were inclined to attribute some of the decline to government holdings of cotton. Although the Commodity Credit Corporation and AAA have actual or potential holdings of approach ing 6,000,000 bales, AAA officials discounted that factor as a cause of the present price situation. % Avery County favmera have plant ed 50 Asiatic chestnut trees as a demonstration in growing this blight-resistant variety in the moun tains of Western North Carolina.
