Raleigh, Feb. 3.?A House judici-j
arjr committee recommended passage
today of its substitute bill to allow
amy county to hold a referendum on I
eceation of county operated liquor
Stores, and the Senate enacted into
tew the tobacco measure.
The House this afternoon refused,
18 to 56, to adopt a minority favor
able Report on the Hutchins bill for a
state-wide prohibition referendum
and then recessed for an hour before
taking up a substitute bill to allow I
any county to hold a referendum on
tka question of creation of county
liquor stores. f,
Four bills were given the House
to carry into effect recommenda
tions of the gasoline terminals study
commission ,
The liquor substitute bill would .
give counties and cities all profits
from stores but would create a state ,
board to have general supervision of
tba system. Stores now operating j
in 18 counties would not be affected ,
except to be placed under the state
board. I,
Senators did not debate the to
bacco measure after it would an- |
bounce a sub-committee would draft
supplementary legislation to embrace
amendments proposed to protect ,
"the little or new farmer" and to ?
provide for right of appeal and chal- (
Idnge of crops.
Representative Barker of Durham
sad others introduced bills to au- ,
thorite the council of state if it ,
found it advisable to extend $100,000 |,
in erection of state-owned gasoline .
terminals; to create a board for gas
?line inspection; and to give the ]
state right of eminent domain in ]
gutting petroleum products over I j

advisable to build such lines. ' j,
Senator Gravely of -Nasn intro- ,
dnced a bill to ban one motor vehicle

limit* of school safety zones.
There were 26 new bills of the:
House and six in the Senate.
A public hearing was ordered next1
Wednesday on the Garrett bill to |
abolish capital punishment in the i
state. (
The House judiciary committee ,
number one favorably reported a
substitute liquor bill today providing ]
for counties and cities to get all ,
profits from county operated liquor
stores.
The measure, explained to the
committee by Representative Bryant
at Durham, was substituted for the
Hanford bill and provides for county 1
referenda before stores may be set
up in counties not having them.
An unfavorable report was given :
the Hutchins bill calling-for^ a state

Program Would Com
bat Both Floods and
Depression
Washington, Feb. 3.?The adminis
tration sent to Congress today a
$5,000,000,000 works program to
combat both floods and depression.
In the message transmitted with
the program fashioned by the na
tional resources board, President
Roosevelt said, "it is time to develop
a long range plan and policy of con
struction, to provide the best use of
our resources and to prepare in ad
vance against any other emergency."
The vast plan contemplating an
outlay of $5,011,000,000 over a six
year period provides not only for
highway and public building and
other construction.
It lists specific works to be un
dertaken in the development of the
nations resources and to provide a
bulwark against depression.
Faced with the problem of im
mediate flood aid, the administra
tion released $136,000 for emergency
rescue work and levee maintenance
on the White, St. Francis and Up
per Zazoo river systems.
Senate leaders strived to pass the
deficiency relief bill today. It car
ried a $790,000,000 relief appropria
tion which will serve as a reservoir
for federal flood aid funds.
One last dispute remained today
aefore the Senate could vote on the
till carrying funds for flood relief.
Senator Bailey (D-NC) proposed the
till be amended to require a "certifi
cate of necessity" from states and
cities asking federal aid for their
iestitute.

Federal Grants .
To Slate Likely
Social Security Board
Anticipates Legislative
Action To Justify
Funds
Washington, Feb. 1. ? Although
North Carolina now is receiving no
Federal grants for benefits under
the Social Security Act, it is said
that the State will qualify for Fed
eral grants totaling $1,225,000 before
the end of the present fiscal year on
June 30, 1937, and will qualify for
$4,902,000 in Federal funds for the
fiscal year 1937-418.
These expectations depend entire
ly upon the action of the North Caro
lina General Assembly, since in each
instance Federal grants must be
matched dollar for dollar by money 1
raised by the State or local units.
However, the expectations form '
the basis for appropriations for the
fiscal year in the independent of
fices appropriation^ bill, which the
House of Representatives took under
consideration today, and will prob
ably pass on Wednesday.
Testimony by officials of the So
cial Security Board before the House
Appropriations Committee shows
that North Carolina is expected to
match the following Federal grants
during the present fiscal year: OM
age assistance, $688,250, aid to the
blind, $65,250; aid to dependent chil
dren, $472,000.
Corresponding figures for the full
fiscal year beginning July 1,. 1937,
are: Old age, $2,753,000; blind, $261,
000; dependent children, $1,888,000.
The estimates show that approxi
amtely the same number of depend
ent children as needy aged is an
ticipated in North Carolina, as the
average amount for children is
about two-thirds that for the aged,
and the estimates bear about the
same ratio.
The average monthly payments on
which the estimates are made are:
Aged, $19; dependent children $11.50,
and blind $25, with the Federal gov
ernment paying half the amount in
each instance.

FIGHTING THE FLOOR
WHOLE NATION AROUSED.
THIS WEEK TO TELL.
LEWIS' TACTICAL ERROR.
BLUNTNESS INEFFECTIVE.
MAY HURT LABOR CAUSE.
SLOAN MISSES BALL.
PUBLIC REACTION.
LEGISLATION AHEAD.
(By Hugo Sim* Washington
Correspondent)
The surging flood waters of the
Ohio, moving relentlessly toward the
Mississippi, attracted major atten
tion in Washington as officials anxi
ously scanned reports that brought
information about the extent of the
disaster. With thousands homeless
and many others certain to be affect
ed before the wall of water flows into
the Gulf of Mexico, every resource
of the Government was thrown into
the work of rescue. Heads pf relief
agencies were constituted a special
flood board and Harry L, Hopkins
given an office in the White House
to coordinate activities.
The war department, bearing the
major brunt of the fight against flood
waters, went on a 24^hour tasig, using
all equipment and prepared to utilize
all resources. The Red Cross, a
semi-official organization, was in
charge of relief to victims, aided by
the Navy, the Coast Guard, the CCC,
the WPA and the Public Health Ser
vice. Power boats, airplanes, com
munication trucks, serums, vaccines,
food, clothing and other supplies
were rushed into the affected area.
Every effort was being made to avert
an epidemic of influenza ahd to ward
off typhoid and other diseases likely
to follow the high water.
Last week the Ohio river valley j
area saw its worst. This week will
determine whether the giant Missis
sippi, with its latest flood control
measures, can handle the vast volume
of water poured into its banks at
Cairo. Army engineers, working
feverishly ahead of the crest, built
up emergency dykes last week, hop
ing to prevent serious breaks in the
protective levees along the great
river, but with full knowledge that
new factors, such as a rampage by
the Arkansas river, may mean far
more serious difficulties and far
greater human suffering. Mean
while the nation gave its sympathy
and sent its cash to provide relief
and hoped that further damage would
be forestalled.
FARMVILLE TO HAVE
CUCUMBER MARKET
Farmers in Farmville, and vicinity
will be interested to know that a
market for cucumbers will be estab
lished here this year. The Manhat
tan Produce Exchange, one of the
country's leading pickle manufactur
ers, of Brooklyn, N. C., will contract
with the growers for as many as
300 acres at a stipulated price. The
market will bring cash money here
during the month of June and early
July, when there are no other qaeh
crops being sold.
Much interest has already beep
shown, and several acres have already
been signed up, The ' Manhattan
company thinks that with the type
of soil that we have here which Is
favorable for the growing of cucum?
bers, and with the high type fanners
that we have that the market will
prove a success here.
Anyone interested, should see The
Tumaga Co., at once.

Fee To Operate Utilities
Commission Is Held
Invalid
Washington, Feb. 1.?The Supreme
Court refused today to pass on litiga
tion challenging constitutionality of
the federal social security act and
the Massachusetts unemployment in
surance law.
The "litigation, brought by Howes
Brothers Company of Boston, had
been dismissed by the Massachu
setts Supreme judicial court in Suf
folk county. It ruled the federal law
did not violate the constitutional
right of the petitioners.
Howes Brothers Co., contended the
state law was ineffective because
the federal statute which it supple
ments, was unconstitutional.
The court held invalid today a
Washington Stat* law imposing a fee
on railroads and other public utilities
to be used in defraying expenses of
regulating them.
The decision was five to four.
Justices Roberts, Van Devanterj Su
therland, McReynolds and Butler

views.
It was the first opinion this term

Expert Explains Methods
To Control Tobacco Mosaic
The tobacco mosaic disease, com-.i
raonly called calico, mottle top, gray
top, and Walloon, is probably the
most serious disease with which
tobacco growers must contend.
Mosaic cuts down the yield of the
crop and lowers the quality of the
cured leaf, often reducing the value
of the crop as much as 66 per cent,
according to John R. Hutcheson,
of V. P. I.
The chief symptom of the mosaic
trouble is a mattling of the leaves,
or a mixture of light and dark
green areas on the tobacco leaf.
The dark green areas appear along
the veins of the leaf and the
lighter areas between the veins.
Many times this condition is followed
by a crinkling or buckling of the
darker green areas of the affected
leaf. When infection occurs in
young plants, the leaves will Be
severely dwarfed and deformed;
however, when infection occurs on
full grown leaves, it is less severe
and usually results only in a mottling
of the leaf. Infected leaves are dif
ficult to cure and are always of poor
quality when they are cured.
Mosaic is caused by an infectious
substance which is present in the
juice of the diseased plants. This
sibstance is known as a virus and
acts like very small germs of bac
teria. This mosaic virus is so in
fectious that it can be spread from
diseased to healthy plants by touch
, ing a diseased plant and then touch
ing a healthy one.
Growers have been advised not
to top and sucker diseased and
healthy plants at the same time.
Top and sucker the healthy plants
first If there are only a fewj
mosaic infected plants in the crop,
pull them out early in the season ,
before the mosaic disease is spread
to other plants
The mosaic disease is so easily
spread that three or four plants
in a plantbed may be responsible
for the infection of the entire crop
of plants set from such a bed. The
mosaic virus remains infectious in
the old stems and in cured leaves
for a long time. Many of the com
mercial chewing and smoking to
baccos contain the mosaic virus. .
Therefore, in order to control
mosaic, it is best not to handle cured
tobacco in any form while working
in the plantbed or while transplant
ing plants into the field. Workers
handling chewing or smoking tobacco
should wash their hands thoroughly
with soap and water before working
with the growing plants. Do not use
any form of unster^ped tobacco on
the plantbed, either as fertiliser or
a dust for, repelling insect peats.
Horse nestle and ground cherry
are susceptible to the tobacco mosaic
and these weeds are almost always
present near tobacco plantbeds, and
in tobacco fields. No doubt they are
responsible for a great deal of the
mosaic that develops in the tobacco
crop. Keep these and all other wehiftfc
from growing around the plantbea
and in the field. Do not locate the
plantbed where horse nettles and
ground cherries grow.
Before seeding the plantbed* ban
the site thoroughly to Idfl weeds
and weed seeds. Insects may feed
on mosaic-diseased weeds and thsc
cany the infections to the yoajp;
! tobacco plants. To, prevent the l*t
iter- cover the plantbed tightly With
