Bailey To Stick Close To Senate WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—Regard ng the situation created by ac ion of the senate in adopting the dcCarren prevailing wage amend nent to the works relief appropria ion bill as “crucial,” Senator Jo ;iah W. Bailey abandoned plans to iccompany Mrs. Bailey to Raleigh or the week-end. “In this sort of a situation I want o vote in person; I do not want iny pairs,” -remarked the senator, ecalling how a pair determined the ] >ne vote margin by which the imendment was adopted. “This amendment is more impor ant than it appears on its face. It nvolves the president’s whole plan >f getting employable people off he dole and putting them to work ind it also involves the very im >ortant phase of his plan which vould turn unemployables back to he states where they belong,” said Senator Bailey.

C. Representative Emphatically Ir# Favor Of Repealing Reve nue Law Section. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24—Repre sentative A. L. Bulwinkle today ex* pressed himself as emphatically In favor of repeal of the "pink slip" provision of the income tax pay nent section of the 1934 revenue aw, which provides that those who pay income taxes this year by March IS, the day before the penal y is imposed, fill out and swear to i statement giving details of pay nent. A pink slip furnished by the government would be used in mak ng such returns. These would be Placed on file at the Greensboro jollectors office for North Carolina ind subject to inspection at any ime. “I have never been in favor of his section of the revenue law, and avor Its repeal. I have had some protests against the ‘pink slip’ sec ion of the law,” continued Major Bulwinkle, “and I have replied that [ favor its elimination. Kills Privacy. The “pink slip” section, known as -he LaFollette amendment to the 1934 act. was attached in the sen ite. If the law is not changed, a ddnaper, racketeer, salesman of worthless bonds, or prying business jompetitor will be able to saunter nto the office of Collector Charles 3. Robertson at Greensboro soon if ter Mar. 15, and leisurely acquaint limself with the names of all per ons who pay sufficient federal in »me tax to convince him they are ;ood “prospects” in his line of busi less. The famous “pink slip” is known is Form 1094 in the income tax ilanks now being filled out and which must be in by the middle of text month. This must be attached o each, income tax return. On this orm, the taxpayer must list his rross nicome, total deductions, ner. ncome, total credits against net in ome, and taxes payable. Hie North Carolina members of congress, they, is a rule, opposed any such provis os but took the position that it was one of the concessions that had o be made by the house to the sen ite, and if it was not acceptable the >eople would be heard from, and It ould be repealed. Protests have »een received from every part of the tate, and chiefly from the smaller ncome taxpayer. Chairman Dough on will conduct hearings on repeal.

The unique feature of the meet ng Is that this is the first time in he history of education that eachers and parents are being isked to submit what they think hildren ought to be taught in chool. The courses were heretofore >utlined by “specialists.” Dr. R. W. Morrison, of the exten ion department of the University if North Carolina, was present for he meeting. He spoke to the whole :roup, after which they were dl- j vlded into similar groups, grades, and classes for further study. Schools all over the state are us ing monthly Saturday teachers meetings to consider needed changes in the present course of study. County Superintendent J. H. Grigg said today that the main pur pose was not so much a revision of texts or to change the material, but to devise better methods of presenting material, distributing roper credits, and meeting the vo '~n-l end academic nrcd-s of ail le pupils. He suggested that In the meeting Saturday many new ideas for get ting actual results in interest on the part of the student were pre sented. Teachers were asked to con tinue variations and make addi tional reports later. Probe# NRA Lowell Maton An Investigation as to whether the NR A Ms furthered the interest of large monopolies to the detriment of small business was launched with the appointment of Lowell Mason, above, as counsel for the senate committee headed by Sena tor William H. King, of Utah. Itinerant Parson Freed From Jail; Charges Witheld CtaerryvlHe Holiness Evangelist Held For Trespassing After Court Square Scene. Reed Ballard of Cherryville, Itin erant Holiness preacher, whose ar rest here Saturday afternoon for preaching on the court house lawn was protested by a crowd of more than 200, was released from jail Sunday night, and was again re leased In Recorders court this morn ing when his case was nolle pressed with leave. He is under $25 bond, which was put up by various members of the impromptu congregation on the lawn. The Rev. Ballard, aged about 30 was arrested by B?.nks Suttrle for trespassing. New grass has been sown on the lawn, and a law has been set up to prevent the gather ing of crowds which would destroy it. The arrest of the preacher was re gretted by both officers and solici tors, but he had been warned to stop, and had been told that there were plenty of other places available for his use. When a crowd of more than 100, led by John Jimson, brought the matter before Sheriff Cline, the sheriff conferred with Solicitor Horn. They agreed to re lease the preacher if the latter would promise not to hold further services on the lawn. This the preacher emphatically refused. “If the Lord calls me, I would have to preach there," he said, “Although I am a law abiding citizen.’ He has been a preacher for some three years, and has been arrested several times for similar offenses he said. He declared that he had been on the chaingang many times be fore he was “Saved.” Woman’s Club Housed At Wray’s Club Secured Quarters After Meet ing In Homes For The Past Three Years. After holding their meetings in i the homes of its members for the | last three years, the Woman's club j lias secured quarters on the second ! floor of the Wray and Sons store, iccording to announcement made :his morning by Mrs. H. T. Hud- ; son. president. The club will have the walls pap ;red and partitions put up at the •xpense of the club and $3,000 worth )f furniture which has been stored n a residence for the last three pears, will be moved in to fit up he club rooms. Mr?. Hudvon >ays the club has a netnbcrshlp .of 200 with *ix divisions lolding me .ir.gs each week. The lew club rooms, heat and lights ire furnished without charge to he club by the Wray firm. It is expected that the club que ers will be ready for use on March st. Justices Of Peace Opposes Measure On New Election Would Cut Number In Cleveland Association Points Out Many Of Best Men Received Posts Prom The Governor. Drastic reduction of the number of Justices of the peace would fol low adoption of senate bill 101, In troduced by Senator Weathers, of Wake oounty as an act "to provide uniform system of election and compensation of Justices of the peaee.” The bill has been reported In "without prejudice” and Is schedul ed to come up for vote in the sen ate on Tuesday, Peb. 26. Would Hit Shelby It would cut the number of Jus tices of the peace in cities of less than 15.000 population, thus affect ing Shelby, which has six such of ficials now. There are 23 Justices of the peace in Cleveland county, which has a population of 52.000. Many of these were appointed by the governor. The North Carolina Association of Magistrates is bitterly opposing the proposed legislation. Berch C. Wil lard, secretary, cites the following reasons: 1. It would deprive the governor of the power to appoint Justices of the peace. Investigation shows that 75 per cent of the most capable ones are appointed by the governor. 2. It would too drastically reduce the number of justices in townships of less than 15,000 population, and would allow more than are neces sary in townships of over 50,000. 3. It would eliminate 60 per cent of the oldest and best magistrates of the state, who are physically un able to engage in other work and at the same time cause hundreds of new and unnecessary ones to be inducted into office to be paid sala ries at the expense of tax-payers. 4. By plactng all justices of the peace in the state on a salary basis, it would be equivalent to a dole or a gift to about 1,300 who would be almost entirely Inactive in the var ious rural townships with little de* mand for their services, while the salary provisions would not afford adequate compensation for those who devote their time and efforts wholly to the performance of offi cial duties. On account of the pro vision for minimum salaries in townships according to population thereof, several thousand dollars would be paid out each year in ex cess of the fees collected by the magistrates as a whole, while some would actually earn considerably more than the amount received as a salary. 5. It would place the office of justice of the peace completely in politics and would leave room for considerably more corruption than has heretofore existed in magis trates courts. There are many other technical features of the bill that are objec tionable and impractical, but those outlined above are the principal features which seem to us most un fair and unjust. County To Have Extension Work To outline a tentaltve program of extension work for spring and summer was the purpose pi a dis- . trlct meeting of county agents held In Asheville over the week end. R. W. Shoffner and H. B. James attended parts of the conference when leaders from nearly a score 1 of counties came together to draw ' plans and hear suggestions from , the state department. J. W.

Parrott who was bom In North Carolina about 1869, the police depart ment has a communication which may enable George or some of his relatives to get a sum of money. Just how much money is com ing to the missing man is not known, but the letter to the chief of police here was from A. McDonald, representative for an international probate company in Boston and stated that a George E.

Masons Meet Tuesday Night A called communication of Cleve and lodge No. 202 will be heid ruesday night at the temple for vork in the second degree. All ma ons are asked to attend. Disregarding inoir personal views In, the matter of legislation, this was' the concensus of opinions gathered from Senator Carl Thonip- j son and Representative Ernest Clardner, Cleveland County's law makers who were at homo for the week-end. One of the gentlemen, however, thinks the proposed liquor control bill stands a fair chance of enact ment at this session. "If It falls now, the next general assembly will j legalize the sale of liquor. You can’t Imagine what a strong sen-1 Llment there is for It all over North * Carolina,” said one. And the other member added, “You would be surprised at the sentiment right here In Cleveland county for the Hill liquor control bill, which Is nothing more than a state-wide referen dum. It provides the machinery for the sale of spirits under slate con trolled stores, In the event the peo ple want It.” Keep Sales Tax Both representatives agree that' the sales tax will likely be con tinued and that the McDonald bill, a substitute means of raising reve nue, will be defeated. They believe that the food articles now exempt ed from the sales tax will be taxed and that the $10 limit on large pur chases will be removed. Two bills are In the hopper that are of concern to motorists, one to lower the gas tax by one cent on (Continued on page eight) Northern Mills Seek to Re-open Textile Code at Capital Meeting WASHINGTON, Peb. 25.—In an ffort to force southern textile wag is up to the northern level, eastern ;overnors and manufacturers gath red In Washington tonight for a tarley tomorrow with the New Eng and congressional delegation.

The meeting, called by Governor lurley, of Massachusetts, will be at- j ended by Governor Brann, of Maine epresentatives of the governors of Jonnecticut, Rhode Island and New lampshire and spokesmen for the lew England and northern textile1 nanufacturers. i Direct action to attain the wage bjective was planned by Represon atlve Edith Nourse Rogers, Republi an, Massachusetts, who prepared a ■ ill for introduction in the house to-i day calling for reopening of the cot- ! ton textile code—code No. 1, the pride of Hugh 8. Johnson, NRA’s first administrator. Tliis was believed the first at tempt to force NRA action through legislation, and its purpose, Mrs. Rogers said, is to open the code to amendments eliminating the wage differentials now favoring the south ind the substitution of uniform pay scales. The southern differential was de nounced in the house last week by Representative Martin, Republican. Massachusetts, who said the section >lready enjoyed the natural advan ago of proximity to the raw ma erial and was entitled to no further i idvantage. Todays conference also will de-' l /ote considerable attention to the ;ompetition of foreign textiles par icularly from Japan which mill . jwners a ,ert has reached menacing < proportions. 1 ( Revenue Problem Headline Activity For Legislators Finance Committee to Meet Today tonal* Exported To Complete Pm* Mfffl Or Driven* Mcenur BUI Tonight. •viiumvn, r ru.

Report On Hill Bill A senate committee report on 9rnutor John Sprunt Hill’s bill to establish liquor stores In the state Is expected early In the week, but the committee has taken no vote, and has given no Indication of what Its decision may be.
