Washington. Nov-. 15. <AP>—A debt
problem of world import, involving
bill tor..-; of dollars owed this nation,
today summoned to council two of its
chosen leaders President Hoover and
President-elect Roosevelt.
To the chief excutive, speeding east

plotting this governments future ac

troversy descended from tne war, and
an important prelude to the final de

Closely watching developments, leg

possibility that Congress may prefer
a default of any or all of the $12,000,-

FOR SENATE POST

Seems Mqst Likely To Win

Raleigh. Hov. 15 Talk has already
started here as to who will be elected
speaker or the Home and president
pro tern of the Senate in the 1933
General Assembly, s.me the member
ship of both houses i-. no wdefinitely
known There has been a good deal
of speculation already about the
speakership. But only within the last
few days has there been any about
ths- president pro ;em of teh Senate.
Most of the opinion expressed heie
is that R. L. Hair’s, of Roxboio, Per
son county, will b c elected speaker of
the House wih vrey little opposition,
although It is agreed that it is still too
early to be sure about anything. How.
ever Harris is understood to have been
very strong support for th e post and
his friends say that a majority of the
members of the 1933 House are already
pledged to him. The only other can
didate that has been mentioned for
th e speakership is Julius C Martin,
of Asheville. Buncombe county. Bu 1 ,
so far as can be learned here, Martin
has not been making an active effort
to get the post and few here believe
he has a chance to defect Harris. For
a time it was reported that R. Gregg
Cherry, of Gastonia, Gaston county,
might become a candidate for the
speakership, but Cherry has s Q far
made no announcement to that effect
and does not seem ro"be making any
effort to aecui e votes. H« has noi an
nounced that he will not be a candi
date. however. Titus the prevailing
opinion here | s that Harris is far in
the lead at the prseent and the most
likely candidate.
Wliile no one as yet seems to H>e
making an active effote to win the
post of president pro 'em in the Sen
ate. the names of three senators are
being mentioned One is Capus M.
Waynick, of High Point, Guilford
County; another is Paul Grady of
Johnson county and the third is W.
G. Clark of Edgecombe county.
Both Waynick and Grady will be
newcomers to the Senate this session
although Waynick sreved in the House
in 1931 and Grady in the Senate in
1927. when he was a candidate for
president pro tern, but defeate.d by
Lunsford Long of Halifax county.
Clark bin- served continuously in the
Senate since the session of 1927, and
will be one of the oldest numbers in
continuous rcrvice in the 1933 Senate.
It is understood that Waynick has
made no effort to secure any commit
ments for the nost. but that he has
already received some 17 voluntary
commitments from members who are
urging him to run for the post of pres
ident pro tern. Grady has made no
active campaign for the post yet, but
intends to do so. according to reports
heard here. It is understood that
Clark did not decide until yesterday
to seek the post, but that he now in
tends to make an active effort to get
it.
There is some surprise here that
Waynick would want the> post, since
the job of assistant presiding officer
in th e Senate carries with it neither
much honor nor much work and since
it also precludes appointment as chair
man of any of the more Important
committees. If Waynick does not go
after hs ofifice it will be in line for
an important commtite e post, accord,
ing to opinions here. For in the 1931
House, Waynick made a record as one
o the outstanding leaders and thinkers
in that memorable session and he is
expected to repeat that record In the
1933 Senate. But if he wants the job
as president pro tern of the Senate and
gets busy for it, he can undoubtedly
glvp the others a stiff run for it and
probably get it, many here believe.
The prevailing opinion, however, Is
that. Waynick would prefer a good
committee post rather than be tucked
up on the shelf as president pro tem.
If the contest should lie between
Grady and. Clark .the belief here Is
that “Uncle Willie, *' as Clark is gener
