Waynick is Named
State Board Head
i - i
Raleigh, Dec. 30—Capus M.
Waynick, assistant chairman of the
State Highway and Public Work*
Commission, was named chairman
and assumed the full details of that
office Saturday, succeeding E. B
Jeffress, stricken last August.
IGovernor Ehringhaus v‘sited and
talked with Mr. Jeffress Friday,
saying that they discussed roads
and other things,, and that Mr.
Jeffress tendered. his resignation
He expressed pleasure at the re
markable recovery made so far Mr
Jeffress. Mr. Jeffress had express.,
ed the desire to see and talk with
Governor Ehringhaus, so the Gover
“hr made the trip to Greerisboro
Friday. • ,
It is understood that belief is
that Mr. Jeffress would not be able
within a reasonable time, at least
to undertake the duties of his
office. It is also understood that he
was carrying health and accident in
surance on which he is now realiz...
ing a sizeable benefit, probably not
as large but somewhat commensu
rate with the salary he received.
His salary from the State was cnn
tinued during the more than four
months since he was striken, of
course. ; t
It is expected that steps will be
taken at the January 10 meeting’ of
the Commission to provide an as
sistant chairman, in order to avoid
the condition that developed when
Mr. Jeffress was stricken. A legis..
lative act may be necessary to com
plete that arrangement, but the
general assembly will be in session
beginning January 9.
Also at that January 10 meet'-g
the commission is expected to name
a State highway engineer to sue
ceed the late John D. Waldrop. 1
Vance Baise, who wwas assistant
engineer, has been acting engineer
since Mr. Waldrop's death, and
may be considered as having the
inside track. However, R. G. Brown
ing, claim and locating engineer
for several years, and Jack Roach,
now in charge of the prison divis...
ion, are said to be applicants,
along with Charles Upham, earlier
engineer, now executive secretary
of the American Road Builders As
sociation.

star, and Nathaniel Shilkret (lower
right), distinguished musical direc
tor.
Miss Jamison sings a great many
leading roles in the light opera
series being given Tuesday nights in
the Palmolive Beauty Box Theatre
on the NBC fed network. She won
this opportunity after being given 4
single sedition end within three
weeks after she came to New York
City. Ur. Shilkret directs the orches
tra on thin program and Uiss
Swarthoot is heard in most of the
leading roles.

Senator Bankhead
Wiil Present
New Plan
Washington, Dec. 31.—A plan of
(permanent control of cotton produc
tion patterned after the present act
which would have the effect of
giving to the secretary of agricul -
ture a powefrful weapon against
overproduction and the carrying of
huge surplus stocks into the next
crop year, will be presented to
Congress before the close of the
(coming session by Senator Bank
head of Alabama. t i
Confronted with probable expira .
tion of the present lf.w by the dose
of the next season and the long- de
lay that may occure in the liquida
tion of the carryover of more than
8,000,000 bales, machinery which
.would enable the secretary to keep
production under control is deemed;
by the senator to be essential.
(According to Senator Bankhead
the proposed new legislation would
follow the lines of the present law,
but with definite power vested in
the secretary o f agr* culture to
grant exemptions from the opera.,
tions of those provisions in the
case of farmers whose base pro
duction is two bales or less. A
mendment of the present law in
this respect is to be made during
the coming session of Congress.
A change of this nature would be
in fulfillment oi the pledie of
President Roosevelt that in the
event of the continuance in oper
ation of the Bankhead law for an
other year he would recommend to
Congress an exemption for small
producers.
Because of the overwhelming
vote cast in favor of the law
• «ii|| December, an order by
Secretary Wallace continuing it for
the 1936-36 season is now awaited.
