Washington, May 9.—Out of two
years of study with the famed
M ickersham commission and a sub
sequent 16 months of personal ob
senation, George W. Wickersham
feels "more strongly than ever” that
a nation-1 referendum on prohibi
tion is needed. The 7j-year-old for
mer chairman of President Hoover’s
commission yesterday dropped the
silence that enshrouded him during
his arduous and often troubled work
of the commission.
Look For Heavy
Vote In Primary
In N. C., June 4

Political News.
(Star News Bureau.)
Raleigh, May 9.—Although for
weeks past there has been a belief
that the people of North Carolina
are not interested in politics and
that condition was deplored, it is
■ate to say now that the campaign
has reached a fair degree of heat
and that a larger vote will be cast
in the June 4 primary than In any
previous primary. Tills is due. in
part, to the numerous local candi
dates, who will see that the vote is
< ut, even though the quieter part of
the citizenship may not be “all het
up’’ over the two major and other
contests.
For Governor.
But the race for Governor is warm
aig up considerably and will show'
more heat in the less than four
weeks it has to run. Unless all signs
fail .there is in reality a definite
trend toward the candidacy of J. C.
B. Ehringhaus, due largely to th6 or
ganization work being done in the
100 counties, but also to the strong
campaign Mr. Ehringhaus is mak
ing. and his tmtspoken and convinc
ing platform appeal. Unless this
trend shows up in the ballots many
leading and astute politicians have
missed their guess. The Ehringhaus
cause certainly has been helped by
announced support of four former
prospective candidates for governor,
especially that of Angus D. Mac"
Lean and General Albert L. Cox.
However A. J. Maxwell is causing
considerable comment on his plan
for operation of school busses by the
State Highway Department. TTSe
statement is often made now as the
reflection of general belief, that the
second primary, and all think there
will be one. may be between Ehring
haus and Maxwell despite the ad
mitted belief that R. T. Fountain
was leading up to the last few
weeks.
Reynolds Strong.
The Senatorial race will not be
. huiited aside and continues with
increasing interest. Thomas C.
Bowie came to Raleigh Friday night
hi his swing around the State trying
to unseat Senator Cameron Morri
on. He will get some votes, but so
.will Frank D. Grist and the other
Dolitically unknown candidate, Ar
thur Simmons. But the main bout
is apparently between Senator Mor
rison and Robert R. Reynolds who
is putting up a game fight on his
prohibition law modification ap
peal.
Many politicians profess to see
danger for Senator Morrison in the
Reynolds campaign. It seems certain
that if there is a second primary,
which many others doubt it will be
between the Senator and “Our Bob.’’
Much of the fear, however, may be
’torn of tlm desire to have Senator
Morrison “loosen up” and spread the
linances which he has asserted he
v ill not do. certainly to the extent
of being inquired into by Mr. Nye
or other congressional investigators.
However he has heeded the call to
the extent that he is now making
ids third visit to the State, spending
this entire week making speeches in
i he east.

Edward L. QulTlaa government
field inspector, who* territory in
this state comprises Cleveland
Burke and Caldwell counties for the
Crop Production Loan office of the
Washington region announce
while in Shelby Saturday that'- nf,
more applications for 1932 crop
loans will be sonsidered from this
section inasmuch as the time for
applying for these loans expired .he
last of April.
Plenty of time, he says, was gh'en
farmers tr make application for
crop loans; in fact, the time for fil
ing applications was fixed at a lat
er date this year than heretofore.
Accompanying this information
from Washington is the further au
nouncement that loan checks cover
ing second installments are now' be
ing mailed to all termers whose
loans were approved, but only to
those farmers who nave mailed to
the Crop Production Loan office
their report cards as to what dis
position they made at the proceeds
of the first crop cioduction loan
ohecks received by thun.
In this connection if will'be In
teresting to learn that a large
number of farmers have not mail
ed their report cards to the loan
office, wh’ch indicates that many
of them for various teasons do rot
need the second installment of the
loan made to them Possibly, in
many instances this is on account
of the requirement to reduce their
ootton, tobacco and ri.anut acreage
:o sixty-five percent tf the acreage
