Crowded out by campaigns and conventions, little thought has been i given to the coming meeting this week : at Virginia Beach of the Tobacco As- i soclation of the United States, which j will fix the dates for the opening of ' the tobaeco season in all belts in the southeast. The convention opens j Thursday and runs through to Sat- ! urday, with the dates for season open- J lngi to be made known probably Fri- j day A committee works out the slate [ and the convention at large ratifies 1 It. Some five weeks more and the rew i selling season will get under way In | Georgia. The South Carolina belt will ' follow on shortly thereafter, and then l in duo time the Eastern Carolina mar kets and this belt. Whether approxi- i mately the same schedules as formerly will he observed or different opening ' dates fixed remains to be seen. But there is one thing that is cer- J tain, according to reports from the ; producing areas, and that is that the i crop Is going to be cut by the largest percentage In many a season. In this belt estimates run as high as half of the crop. It is put at around 65 per- i ceat of normal in Eastern Carolina, j and gbout half a crop in Georgia and South Carolina. Reports from the eastern part of this State are that the crop, though smaller and later, will, with favor able seasons from this time on. be by , no means a sorry crop. It is stated ; that farmers are making an effort to j produce a quality crop, and If that is ! dons satisfactory prices are looked for. Against this reduction in acreage and in production, as large as it is. I there has also been a slight falling j off In consumption of cigarettes. This f has been partly compensated for by j increases in smoking tobacco and the “roll your own” type of smoking. But • tbs decline in consumption, in all J branches of output, is not anything j like as heavy a. the prospective cut- j teiiment In the crop apparently in go- ! lng to be. That ought to make foe somewhat better prices than last fall. 1 although the cry of curtailed consump- ! tion and smaller exports is already ; being heard and will probably be heard more as the selling season ap oproaches and progresses. The average on the Henderson mar- I kst which was about in line with that for the State at large last season, i was a fraction over eight cents a 1 pound, and an increase this fall of one-third would lift the price le-el only up to 12 cents. That would be much better than last season, it is trua. but. with the smaller crop, would not leave as much money In the hands of the farmers. There Is always the possibility, however, that conditions may turn brighter. Good seasons may bring out the late crop to a point where It will be of a fairly good quality, and exports might show an upturn or consumption increase to some extent, all or either of which would be helpful to the farmer with tobacco to sell. METHODS OF RELIEF. That the problem of relief is one of the major matters of business still confronting Congress is a certainty. That relief Is necessary is also patent. The best and most equitable manner of effecting that relief would be the creation of Jobe for the unemployed, but that likewise is the most difficult, • and the one, also, that no-one has ydt planned In a definite, concrete way. so that those who want to work may have an opportunity to do so. Ths dole idea has its serious ob jections. and the proposal to go into a wholesale construction program would benefit only those who coaid get on the payrolls, and perhaps millions of others would still be as badly off as they now are. In bis column In the Greensboro Dally News. R. R. Clark, an editorial writer, discusses the sit uation as follows: Construction of public works to fur nish employment in time of distress is an old custom of-governments. The reason is apparent. That it is better for the individual that he have an opportunity to earn a living than to be supported in idleness by charity, government or otherwise, is not open to debate. Also the public works con structed. while they may not be of immediate need, or of real necessity in the near future, are supposed to be designed for service that will make some return on the expenditure. From this viewpoint the argument is all in favor of the public works plan. But the plan is open to objections. The most serious is that no public works program can be devised in the United States that will reach all the unemployed or give more than a small portion of them the desired relief. While it may be said that any plan that will give employment to a por tion of the idle should be welcomed as affording relief to that extent, the question arises whether the actual re lief afforded is in proportion to the expenditure; whether that form of relief tBnH Unreasonably expensive. Another and a serious objection is that when hundreds of millions are to be expended for so-called public improve ments much of it will be an absolute waste. The demands for allotments will be persistent from all sections, each clamoring for a share. Under the circumstances it will be impossible to apportion the money for public im provements that are really beneficial. Public buildings will be erected that will be a continuous charge on the government rather than a saving In cost; and other public works that will lie attempted will be the same as dis tributing the money to beneficiaries, since the work will be of no value. When each congressmen endeavored to get a share of the rivers and har bors appropriation, even when there was not a navigable stream or one j that could be made navigable in his t territory, the distribution was called n “pork barrel" project. Money, a con siderable amount in the aggregate, has been wasted in North Carolina be cause some of our congressmen along with others claimed a share for their constituents. The possibility of doing something worth while with the i money didn’t count. Spending money on the French Broad river in the Asheville sector may be recalled, President Hoover’s denunciation of the Garner relief bill as a “pork bar rel” measure is not lacking In founda tion, although some of Mr. Hoover’s projects are not above criticism. An even and fair distribution of relief can only be accomplished by the dole —by appropriating money to be distributed by authorised char itable agencies among those in actual need. With the recognition of the evil effects now and hereafter, of sup porting the able-bodied in idleness and the realization that the money could be used for something useful If pro vision was made for the worker to earn it. the question Is whether the widest measure of relief, and the most economical, can be secured by the public work plan. If money is to be wasted in construction, as much of it will be, it might be more econo mical to gtve it direct and thus help all who are in ne#fryTbe Ideal plan, of course would be to limit the con struction to only such projects As are really necessary' and that would even tually be built, direct aid to be given to others who ean't be given employ ment. But the limited distribution will hardly pass because of the general clamor for a share and the natural urge of congressmen to satisfy their home folks. The conclusion seems to be that whatever plan of relief is adopted aside from the straight dole, which will fail because of its name If for no other reason—many millions of money will be wasted in building pro jects and other construction, with shrewd contractors, maybe, getttng the largest share of relief, and many millions of the unemployed will re i main unrelieved. Our form of govern ment can never handle a plan like that satisfactorily. Political benefits are of first consideration and the grab game Is inevitable.

C.J DAILY DESPATCH' TUESDAY, /JUNE 28, 1982 T FRAMES+ASWEUJ" By Central Preaß Paris, June 28—So this is Paris; There is a super-swanky group of French fashionables who consider it very smart not to drink anything stronger than water . . . The amuse ment which catches the centimes of the French work ing class is the elot machine mu sic arcade, where long rows of ear > phones dispense 1 popular and class -1 cal tunes Many of these places contain a radio -y ■ i JBMf section, where a coin in the slot tunes in on one of the local stations. Some of the more up-to-date apart ment houses boast a radio for every suite, although broadcasting here is in an oif development compared to ether transmission in the United Staley . . . One apartment hotel I visited has installed radio with a vengeance, having filled half of the small main lobby with a n elaborate radio switerboard and attendants to keep phonograph records playing whenever th e air is silent, which is often. EPICUREAN WATERLOO After the first week or two in Paris more Americans than will admit it groan with the same malady engend ered in childhood by the back-lot greep apple tree . . Ability to weather a sudden glut of elaborate hors d'oeuv res, heavy cream soups, elegant but insidious sauces and constant over whelming richnes everywhere is a rare American possession . . . Many a woukibe gourmet, pockets crammed with lists of “charmipg little restau rants.” is forced into seclusion at in tervals. Indeed, the expressions of the faces of diners at Morgan’s Chicago Inn and the California Inn, two places dispens ing honest-10-goodness American food are frequently somewhat sheepish . . They are the folks who day before yesterday swore that the lowliest French chef was an artist superior to the moot renowned American poet but the same folks, too. unfortunately awoke this morning with a conviction that somewhere inside them was a feverishly plucked pineapple, or even a porcupine. PATRIOTIC STOMACHS Love of country can be a subtle tmotion ... In co.e it begins to awake some time during the second. Parisien week, usually at the mention of griddle cakes and sausage or sweet potato pie . . . This reprehensible reversion to type has even been brought about by viewing a carton of shredded wheat. But Morgan, an enormous mulatto with a faintly southern accent, offers two seductive liquids which I would not swap at the moment for a tub of bouillabaisse or a case oc Veuve Clt quot, 1906 ... I refer to Ame+ican coffee and cream to go in it. Many a visiting American has in curred the waiter's scorn by demand ing cream . . . Even the whipped cream is uniformly sour . . . And the milk has been skimmed for cheese making and in taste approximates melted celluloid, although of course I have never knowingly consumed any :>f the latter. Incidentally, a sport indulged by newly arrived expatriot Americans might be termed “menu reading.” The game presupposes a scanty knowledge of French and the object is to order an edible repast from the menu of one of those sixffrancsjfcr dinner side street restaurant ... If you lose, you find horse meat on your plate—and hrtuat eat it. . 4 ■ <■’ LINGUIST The other evening I dropped into a tiny theatre advertising an elaborate revue. Th«» show turned out to be a feeble imitation of the Follies Ber gere. My companion, an American, prided himself upo,* ability to under; stand French songs in slang. • One number however intoned by the chorus was going, I could see. as far over his head as over mine., Neither of us could make head or tall of It. At length my friend summoned an usher and demanded to ki)ow the gist of the song the girlies were singing. “They're singing in English." the usher whispered.

TODAY’S HOROSCOPE This person will bo sympathetic and receptive; there will be a certain amount of the gift of acquisition, and a considerable good fortune with, pos sibly, but little knowledge of how to use wealth. The impulses are extra vagant to excess. A curbing of this na ture will do much to secure success. Republican Progressives Must Decide Promptly on Plans to Their Campaign fContinued from Page one.) many of the Badger state insurgents flopped completely to the Democratic side of the fence (the Democratic vote was many thousands above nor mal, anyway, and the Republican vote was correspondingly smaller) that the regulars unexpectedly found them selves in control of the group chosen to attend th G. O. P. asesmblage In Chicago. Whether or not It was good sports manship of regularity to rub its ad vantage in. it certainly availed itself of the chance to do so in a fashion which raised, the blood pressure of every progressive, chaired by legis lative duties to his desk in Washing ton, as he read the story in the news papers or listened to the actual per formance over the radio. Republican regularity also has been outspoken in its desire for tfrfe defeat of all progressives up for renomina tion this year. Senator Peter Norbeck of South Da kota already has weathered the storm, but over the defeat of Senator Smith W. Brookhart at the lowa primaries there is the most open rejoicing. True, reports from the Hawkeye common wealth indicate that the G. O. P. sen atorial nominee. Henry Field, won by out—Brookharting Brookhart—but the stand patters say candidly that they can’t believe sue ha thing possible. Seemingly there will be a stiff fight likewise in North Dakota June 29, be tween Senator Gerald P. Nye and Governor George F. Shafer for the former's toga. Accbrding to accounts from the Fiickertail state. Shafer is basing the claims to consideration on the ground that, he, rather than Nye, obtained tfrouVht relief for North Dakota farm ers during last year’s dry summer, and on the further ground that, as a senatorial investigator. Nye has been too expensive. This news comes somewhat a* a surprise to folk here in the capital. Red Cross headquarters mentioned Nye, his colleague. Senator Lynn J. Frazier and Representative James H. Sinclair as three of the most exigent applicants on the organization’s list during the 1931 drought period. In behalf of their constituents. As an investigator Nye has pushed two notable inquiries during his term —his celebrated “probe’’ of 1930 sena torial election methods, and an earlier one into the affairs of the Continental Trading company, an offshoot of the Teapot Dome Case. The election investigation, while re garded in Washington as one of the most capably conducted of its kind in congressional history, brought in no cash returns, but the Continental Inquiry yielded to the government, in the collection of back taxes, refunds and penalties and the recovery of pub lic property, approximately $750,008,- 000—or enough to pay Nye’s salary for 75.000 years. Some expense, indeed, was involved, but the total appropriated was only $25,000, and part of that was returned to the treasury. RIVALMANAGERS REITERATE CLAIMS {Continued from Page One.) stake, with the result that Senator Morrison will be nominated over Ro bert R Reynolds in the second pri mary Saturday. They are realizing that there is more Involved and more at stake than prohibition and that the State needs a man In the Senate at this time who has been tried, who hits had some legislative experience. So they are turning to Senator Mor rison in increasing numbers.” Reports being heard here from v *r § 11 . 1 ,. . rious sources indicate that there is a g towing sentiment throughout many of the Piedmont and western counties for Morrison and that he is gaining steadily in most of these counties. Even in the eastern part of the State, wnere Reynolds is con ceded to have his greatest strength. Morrison is making some substantial headway, reports received here indi cate. The Reynolds forces, of course, deny that Morrison is making any progress and insist that the Demo crats of the State are out to "get Morrison" just as they went out to "get Simmons” in 1930 and that as a result the sentiment for Reynolds is growing in every section of the State, with his nomination assured in the primary Saturday. SAY FOUNTAIN IS GETTING MOST OF STATE EMPLOYEES (Continued from Page One.) doubt but that Fountain will again carry Wake county in the second pri mary. because of the support from State employes and various depart mental "machines,” in spite of the efforts of the Ehringhaus supporters to reduce his lead. Fully 75 per cent of the various State employes, of which 90 per cent live in Raleigh and Wake county, are con ceded to be supporting Fountain for governor instead of Ehringhaus. Many of these are openly and actively for Fountain, others not so openly. But the great majority of the State employes and most of the department heads want Fountain nominated rath er than Ehringhaus, largely because they hate Governor Gardner and still blame him personally for the cuts that have been made in the salaries of State employes and for the reductions made In appropriations. The elected department heads hate Gardner be cause he Is believed to favor the “short ballot" providing for the ap pointment of most department heads instead of their election. Hence, be cause Gardner is regarded as friendly towards Ehringhaus, most of the State employes are for Fountain. Another reason wiiy most of the State employes and department heads are supporting Fountain rather than Ehringhaus, is because Fountain has either sent the word around or per mitted his friends to send it around that if he is nominated and elected governor he will not only oppose any further cuts in salaries of State em ployes, but seek to get the cuts that have been made restored and salaries put back u pto their old 1928-29 levels. There are also, evidence that Foun tain has indicated to departirient heads that if he becomes Governor he will seek to have the budget act amended and (changed so that depart ments and institutions cap get all the money that is appropriated to them, even if the State has to £o‘ into debt and borrow money or sell -bodds to get it. This means that if Fmirilain had been governor during the past three years instead of Gardner, .that he would have made no effort to re duce expenditures and that the State deficit for the three years ending June 30, 1932. would have been $11,829,762 instead of a deficit of $5,706,378 for this period, since $6,123,884 was saved by Gardner during this three year period by a reduction in appropria tions and salaries. It is, of course, natural that most of the State department heads and employes would rather have this $6,- 123.384 to spend, even if the State did have to go into debt, than to have the State save this amount of money for the tax payers, as has been done. It is also natural that mos tof them should feel peevish toward* Governor Gardner for depriving them of this . much money within three years, time and that they should rally to Foun tain at even the mereet hint that he. would deal more liberally with the, State departments, institutions and employes if he should become gover nor. Those department* In which both employes and department heads have been or now are active for Fountain, are as follows: The State Department of Agricul ture. The State Board of Health. The State Corporation Commission. The Attorney General’s department. The State Auditor's office. In addition, many employes in the Department of Public Instruction, in the Division of Purchase and Contract and even in the Department of Re venue and the State Highway Com mission, actively supported Fountain in the first primary and are still supporting him. Most of the empolyes at the Department of Revenue sup ported Commissioner A. J. Maxwell in the first primary, since he was one of the candidates for the nomination. But judging from the talk heard daily in this department now, most of the employes are going to vote for Foun tain In the seeond primary, despite the fact that most of the Maxwell supporters in other sections of the State have already joined forces with the Ehrioghaus supporters. In Highway Commission Even in the highway commission, which Fountain charges has become nothing more than a great political machine to work for Gardner and Ehringhaus, it is easy to find many employes who are °uprortlng Foun- /Imm Numskull BE so SSSSBHSSE&aH DE Aft; NOAH =• WHY DOES WAITER FREEZE WITH THE SLIPPERY SIDE UP ? leonarc ‘tiwi.stap CLEVBLANR, MINN.
