A DEPLORABLE TRAGEDY.
Th* full force and effect of the
fatal rioting yesterday between Wash
ington policemen and the radical wing
of the bonus seekers cannot he deter
mined at the moment. It may be this
event will be the turning point and
hasten the exodus of the former sol
dier* from the national capital. On
the other hand, it may arouse such a
tidal wave of resentment among the
ex-enrvioe men as to constitute merely
the signal for more and greater
trouble.
It has been many a long day since
Washington was the scene of rioting
from any cause, to say nothing of a
situation that resulted in bloodshed
and which got beyond the ability of
District of Colurfibia civil authorltes
to handle and necessitated the calling
out of Federal troops to take con
trol. The capital was late yesterday.
If Indeed it Is not now, on the verge
of martial tow, a thing which Ameri
cana have liked to consider beyond the '
pate of probability. Trouble, even if
of a varying nature, that has arisen
In other capitals of the world has now
struck with a mighty impact at the
very seat of our government, and
arouse* * fear and a conjecture in
th# minds of sane and sober citizens
as to what might be a possible se
quence. mg.
The thing many Americans have
feared ever s*.nce the bonus seekers
began to assemble in Washington
would happen has now come to pass.
Trouble has broken out. with one
veteran dead and many policemen and
veterans injured, some of them
seriously.
An Investigation will certainly fol
low In an attempt to get at the bot
toga of the outbreak. But when the
Uifter waa given police to make ar-
T**ts if they encountered resistance
3n their moves to evict the ex-soldiers
fnocn government property which it
was desired to clear for the purpose
of demolishing in preparation for new
buildings it was to be expected that
difficulty would arise. Yet the gov
ernment had the right to the posses
sion of its property, and its plan was
thn more commendable, in view of
thn fact that work was to be furnish
e4 to unemployed by the beginning
of « construction program.
Reports available at the time this
is written indicate that it was the
radical left wing, or reds, who were
Involved in the rioting. Walter Waters
and his group of the veterans were
no# Involved, so far as has been learn
ed. The communist element, claiming
credit from the start for instlgiatlng
th* march on Washington, went there
to make trouble. They were probably
* more interested in that than in ac
tually obtaining the bonus. The over
throw of the government is one of
tin purposes of the communists ip
America, whether in Washington err
*te*where. The country has not
awakened as yet to the full extent
of this menace, but it ought to le&rh
th# lesson from the fatal rioting erf
Thursday afternoon. There never waft
justification for this invasion of the
national capital by the former service
sun. and time has demonstrated that
fact. But, if firmness Is to be employ
«d in dealing with the situation, thq
communists group ought to feel the
full force of such disciplinary mea
sure* as the government may in
stitute.
A certain group in Congress, and
particularly in the House, cannot en
tirely escape a portion of the respon
sibility of what has happened or may
fcfippa*. inflammatory apaaehaa wan
l made than by boom uithaalaats, who
I urged th# veteran* to organize *sf
to demand tan media to payment of the
fownfflunt'* obligations to thade.
While they did hat In so many toaida
suggest the fcnarofc an Washington, it
to believed by some that the Idea ori
ginated from statements contained tn
( some of the speeches, esany es which
may have been made with the double
barrelled purpose of seeding nation
wide notoriety and the gamering in
of votes to maintain themselves In
jobs in Washington at fat salaries.
Apparently they gave little thought to
the possible consequences of their ut
terances. beyond these personal mo
tives.
What has happened In Washington
, is a deplorable tragedy. Yet it was
not wholly surprising nor altogether
unexpected. The situation all the while
has been more threatening than most
people had known it to be. The best
that can be hoped for as a result, now
that real trouble has been experi
enced. Is that it may sober the nation
in the face of a genuine crisis, and
that united, constructive effort shall
be begun to find away out of the
difficulty.
TAKES BETTER JOB.
Congressman John Q. Tllson. of
Connecticut, is going to quit Con
gress for a better job. And for that
he is not to be blamed. At 66 he be
comes weary of a thankless public
oft ice he has held for 22 years, and
deedes to go to work to make more
rr.c.nev for his family. That is a com
mendable ambition in any man.
Doubtless Mr. TiLson shared the state
ment our own Congressman Aber
nathy made in the House last winter,
and which he lived to regret, that he
was worth $20,000 in private life and
certainly ought to be worth his salary
of half that much by representing his
constituents in the national legis
lature.
But it is recalled that Mr. Tilson
was a candidate for the Republican
House leadership in the House when
' the Democrats organized it last De
cember. but was defeated by Repre
sentative Snell, of New York, who
was chairman of the recent Repub
lican National Convention in Chicago.
That may be grating on Mr. Tilaon’s
nerves, and may be a factor in help
ing him to make up his mind to leave
public life to the private practice of
law.
It is probably not too much for the
country to expect of Its congressmen
that men who go to Washington in
that capacity ought to be capable of
earning as much in private life as
they receive in th# House or Senate.
Many of them doubtless have that
capacity, but many others do not
possess it, which may account for
*ome of the many bunglesome legisla
tive jobs that are turned out In the
course of a session.
WILL LEND BILLIONS.
President Hoover has been accused
of playing a master hand at politics
in the appointment of Atlee Pomerene,
'ormer Democratic United States sen
ator from Ohio, as chairman of the
reconstruction Finance Corporation.
T t has been claimed that it would
;often public sentiment in Pomerene’s
native state, and that it would make
he corporation’s board really bi
partisan and tend to remove it from
•lolitios if possible. The charge is also
heard that the appointment of the
Ohioan, thus giving the Democrats
a majority on the board, would re
move from the President a large por
tion of the responsibility for the
hoard’s acts, and at the same time
'hrottle criticism from outside the
ranks of Mr. Hoover's own party.
Naturally, whatever the President
may have done, it could and probably
would have been construed as a po
’itical move, however altruistic Mr.
Hoover’s motives may have been.
| Whether any or all or none of these
speculations have any basis in fact,
there is pretty general agreement that
the appointment was a wise and fit
ting one, and that Pomerene has'thk
ability to handle the job. Te is credit
ed with a big hand in the framing of
the legislation that created the Fed
eral Reserve act during the Wilsop
administration, when he was in the
■ Senate, which would give the new
' chairman a good background for the
! successful performance of his new
r duties.
Pomerene is GJ years old, and a very
active man for one of that age, but
no one is considered very old at that
1 stage of life these days. He is a mem
r ber of one of the largest law firms in
1 his home city of Cleveland. His legal
1 career began in Canton, Ohio, in 1886.
i and later became city solicitor and
f prosecuting attorney. In 1910 he wap
b elected lieutenant governor of Ohio,
s and two months later was elected
# United States senator, serving a dozeA
i I years in the upper house of Congresd.
- For the past eight years he assisted
• in the government’s prosecutioh oi
e the oil fraud cases, being associated
.- in that work with Owen J. Roberts^
- .of Philadelphia, whom President!
Hoover appointed to the United Btates
d Supreme Court in 1930. He was backed,
t- by Ohio for the Democratic nomlna
i- tion for president in 1923, and last

for the presidential race at the Demo
cratic national convent ten la Chicago,
refusing to switch to Ggvenfer tlofcee
▼elt on the fourth ballot when feeds e
▼elt supporters desired to Motes the
aomlnatlton unanimous.
Pomerene has long been in
in one way or another, has had
wide experience in the ef
outstanding legal matters in the prac
tice of his prefession as a lawyer. He
will become a worthy successor to
Charles G. Dawes as chairman of the
corporation wjiich has been entrusted
with so much responsibility in boost
ing the nation on Its way back to
ward prosperity and normal business
conditions. He will supervise the
lending of Uncle Sam’s billion* for

Interstate Agreement on
Trucks Is Being Sought

required fee. Under the present agree
ment, no North arolina trucks .can
make more than four trips a
to Maryland. Pennsylvania; New jsn
sey or New York withoat buying a
Virginia license and a license in all
the other states visited or traversed,
thus making interstate hauling at
more than four trips a month almost
prohibitive. [
The Virginia truck owners, headed
by C. Fair Brooke, of Richmond
maintained that the proposed agree
ment for eight trips a month would
be of just as much benefit to North
Carolina as it would to Virginia truck
owners, since It would permit this
State to ship Us raw materials and
manufactured products not only into
Virginia, but into all the other, statte
with which Virginia has thjs type of
reciprocity agreement, without im
posing any additional cost upon tbs
North Carolina truck owners. It wad
also pointed out that there are more
trucks and truck lines In this state
than in Virginia and that this State
is an important shipping oenter.
The boards of directors of the two
associations were addressed at a lun
cheon meeting by Charles Ross, attor
ney for the State Highway Commis
sion. Mr. Ross told the truck opera*-
: tors that the State wanted to be fair
with them and would do all tt eould
to cooperate with them, btu that eer

' The truck owners maintain that It
1 is impossible for them to operate owt

traverse. But if more lenient recipro
city agreements are allowed, that they

that the states through which they

322,500 insurance and that in case of

W. P. Wr'tley, of a
fingerprint expert, testified he ex
amined French's automobile after the
shooting and found a number of fin
gerprints. He identified them as hav
ing been left by Owens and said he
was unable to identify one print.
Counsel for Owens asked the court
for permission to ~re-examine the jury
when court opened today. The re
quest was based on the fact that
newspapers carried accounts of
Owens' arrest on charges of grand
larceny and highway robbery.
Owens was arrested yesterday on
the charge of the hold-up of a chain
grocery store. In which STSO was
taken, at the point of a gun on July
9. He also was charged with stealing
an automobile valued at $350.
Supplementary Budget*
Os Schools May Be Cut
(Continued from page One.)
tention is focused on the supplemental
budgets for the six months term.
Last year the board did not fix any
limits for the supplementation of the
six months item budgets and ap
proved whatever levies had been
agreed upon by the boards of county
commissioners and the county boards
of education. Borne members of the
board wanted to fix a limit beyond
which the six months term could eat
be supplemented and local taxes le
vied, on the grounds that the State
aupported six months term should be
adequate for all the counties and that
the taxpayers should not be required
to pay out any additional taxes for
the support of this term. But those
favoring unlimited supplementation,
won out. The result was that some
counties supplemented the six months
term more than 50 per cent and
joined by local taxes half as much
'again as they received from the State.
What action the board will take
this year with regard to the supple
mental budgets for this coming school
year remains to be seen. It saay de
cide to let the counties do as they
please about It, as they did last year.
But indications are htat, unless the
counties hold these budgets down to a

minimum, the board may decide to
step in and refuse to approve budgets
that seem to be execssive in any way.
To date supplemental budgets have
been received from about 80 counties
and more are coming in almost daily—
or as fast as the county school boards
and the county commissioners can
get together and approve the budgets.
It is hoped that all the budgets will
be in the office of Board of Equaliza
tion here by about August 10, when
the board will meet to examine them.
An examination of the supplemen
tal budgets already approved by the
county boards and submitted here,
show- that a good many items have
been included in these budgets that
really should not be. For instanoe,
several of them carry items for the
county accountants or the county trea
surers. Yet there is no law which per
mits extra levies to be made for these
county officials under the guise of a
school levy. In other budgets are pro
visions for paying the entire salaries
of the school attendance officers, al
though the law provides that half the
salaries of these attendance officers
Madamoitelle From Armeatierco!
shall come from the county general
fund, with the Board of Equalization
paying the remainder.
In other words, it is evident that
in some of the counties an effort is
being made to include other than
school matters in these supplemental
budgets, in order to keep the county
general fund levy down as low as pos
sible. But it is not believed that the
Board of Equalization will permit
these Items that have nothing what
ever to do with the six months school
term to remain in the budgets.
On the whole, however, these sup
plemental budgets so far received are
much smaller than they were last
year, kith fewer supplements called
for teachers' and superintendents’
salaries.
