Charges Neglect and Worn Tires Caused the Accident Which Took Heavy Death Toll Greenville, November 2.?Suit was filed this afternoon by C. Herber Forbes, administrator for his sob, against W. A. Allen, administrator of the estate of Dr. F. Marion Davis, a airing $50,000 damages. Mr. Forbes, with Dr. Davis and the latteris Negro chauffeur, Nath an Woodward, were skilled November 15, last year, when the automobile owned by Dr. Davis wrecked near Morehead City. Two women compan ions, M'*a Alma Lee and Miss Lu cille Norton, teachers in the City schools and East Carolina Teachers college, respectively, were injured in the accident. The party was on the way to Morehead City when the car, dec clared to have been running at a high rate of speed, left the highway and turned over into a small stream. The complaint alleges that on the day the accident occured Davis "carelessly, negligently, heedlessly, and indifferently failed to equip his automobile with safe tires, he having full knowledge of the unsafe and weakened condition of the tires". It also contends that Davis con tinued to demand of the chauffeur that he "step on it" until he was going 90 miles an hour and that the car was going as fast as he could make it go, and while traveling at such a reckless, heedless, wanton and unlawful rate of speed and in such a manner so as to endanger the lives of the people riding in the said auto mobile,, the tire or tires gave way or blew out," resulting in the car over turning and inflicting fatal injuries to Davis, Forbes, and the Negro Chauffeur, and seriously injuring the two women companions. The plaintiff in the action is re presented by J. B. James, local at torney. Reveal Set-bp For W Call J. Nat Harrison WiH Head 1937 Red Cross Campaign Pitt County ' Greenville, Nov. 1st.?W, A.

LANDON'S CRY FOR FIGHT. RIVALRY WITH HOOVER. G. 0. P. COURSE DIFFICULT. "MID-TERM" COMMENTS. "JIMMY" GETS HIS CHANCE. THE WILL TO PEACE. (By Hugo S. Sim#, Washington Cor respondent) ? In less than four weeks an over whelming Democratic Congress will convene in a special session, called by a Democratic President to con sider five legislative problems. The work of the session may be limits to the program outlined if the leaders of the dominant party determine to pass a resolution to jthis effect but we doubt if this will nbe the case be cause many members w$ be anxious to give their views on other sub jects. If the work -could J>e. confined to crop control, wage and hour regu lation, reorganisation of the execu tive department, regional planning and revision of the anti trust laws it would be possible in the six weeks before the Tegular session in January to get through with most of the mat ters at hand. This would leave Con gressmen a number of items for next year but with the hope of adjourn ment early in the summer, which would be suitable to most of them who have to face the electorate in the Fall of 1938. Despite the desir ability of getting away from Wash ington for campaign purposes next summer the probability is that the regular, session will be prolonged. One of the advantages of a plan to limit the special session to the five-point program is the elimination of controversal issues, including the anti-lynching bill now in a position to come up for consideration as soon as farm legislation is finished. The anti-lynching bill has spirited oppo sition ahead of if, especially from Southern members of Congress but will probably be passed. Already the House has voted favorably upon it and, while there will be much to de bate, the Senate will also pass the measure, we believe, The farm program, whatever it may prove to be, will require more money it seems, than the amount now available under budget estimates. This will require the passage of a new tax measure, but tDs phase of the program may be left to the regu-j lar session. At this writing the pro cessing taxes are favored which now causes some writers to assert that they have been outlawed by the Su preme Court. This it not the casej however, because the court, in its decision throwing overheard the AAA, did not deny the right of the government to levy processing taxes. It invalidated the nse of the prbeess ing tax money for the pur pose involved and orderedtbe sums collected refunded.-At the same time it was clearly evident that any pro cessing tax goiing into the general treasury would be upheld by the Court Former Governor Landon's radio address, calling for Republican oppo sition to the President ""wphsslrH the impotence if Mp; party, which holds exactly ope fifth of the mem bers of the House and Spiate.

Washington, November 1.?The House Agriculture Committee agreed today on the principle of voluntary control of wheat, cotton and rise crops in the new farm bilL Chairman Jones (D. Texas), said the group also had yfetiitlty accept ed a proposal for comjrafrory control of tobacco. The question of compulsory or of voluntary regulation of crop produc tion has been one of the most con troversial before the Committee that ia drafting the bill for presentation at the special session of Congress, November 15. The bill outlined by Jones also pro vides for continuation of soil con servation payments, financing the new program by some fojrm of tariff equalisation taxes and petting up the marketing quotas In emergencies. It differs in many inspects from a measure already drawn by Represen tative Flannagan (X>. Va.) providing for compulsory crop control The Flannagan UU would operate chiefly by means of marketing quo tas and the imposition of penalties on farmers selling crops In excess of those quotas. Committee members laid the tob acco control system under considera tion would place penalties of 50 per cent of the value on buyers of sur plus tobacco, rather than on the far mer. Some sentiment was said to have developed for slmiliar penalties for peanuts and potatoes, There also was opposition in the committee on the* grounds that if these commodities were' given special treatment it would i open the way to demands of special handling of additional crop. The difficulty of drafting provis ions for corn remained one of the major problems. Representative Cbffee (D. Nebras ka) member of a sub-committee that handles com, said the group was as undecided about the commodity as when Congress adjourned last Aug ust. ARMISTICE DAY TO BE OBSERVED AS DAY OF PRAYER Armistice Day, November 11, will be observed as a quiet day of Pray er by Episcopalians here, who in vite other churches, individuals and patriotic groups, especially* to join with them is a session of prayer for the peace of the world, Mem bers of the Woman's Auxiliary will be in the Church throughout the day. The great war did art "and war". It did not "maka the world safe for democracy." It is ? tragedy be yond words that so much valor, so much devotion* sacrifice so costly, did not purchase the peace and the freedom for which they wore offered. But the end Is not yet. The fu ture is still undermined. It is for the living to fulfill by new and dif ferent means the hopes of those who died.

The new program will be different in many respects from programs of past years, according to E. Y. Floyd of State College, who is AAA. exe cutive officer in North Carolina. It has already received the final stamp of approval from Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture. Since is was first announced tenta tively September 20, the 1938 pro gram has- undergone but few altera tions. -One of the principal changes has been a decrease in the cotton goal for the entire nation. This action was provoked by the latest U. S. crop forecast of approximately 17, 500,000 bales. Previously, the esti mate for 1937 has been placed at 16,000,000 bales. When the new program was first announced in September, the latest cotton forecast had not been com pleted. When AAA officials learned the lint crop was 1,500,000 bales lar ger than they had anticipated, they went into a huddle and made adjust ments. The revised goal is 27,000,000 aqres, about 2,000,000 acres below the fyrst announced figure. Potato goals will also be incuid ed in the 1938 program. More than .82 per cent of the growers in the commercial potato producing sections favored acreage stabilization in a referendum which was concluded dur ing the first part of October. Payments will be based on the en tire number of acres planted, up to .the limit of a farm's goal. Maximum payment can be earned by planting the full goal, with deductions being made for yields above or below the goal. WHO KNOWS ? 1. How many states have mini- . mum wage laws? * 2.
