Ra | e igh, March 16.—While at first

-1 b ill, as drawn by the committee
amendments, might
® n V( , c ,ue hard sledding in the Sen
:he measure has now passed the
t nH : e w’thout any very far-reaching
and now goes to the
Hmse. Many amendments were offer
j 1,1 the bill in the upper house, but
i members of that body sided with
.i,p committee on constitutional
"ndments, and voted down virtual
fVP y amendment which the com
! e( . headed by Senator Waynick
J Guilford, opposed.
T; ie committee spent many weeks
the new Constitution, which
f js based on the recommendations of
constitutional commission author
ed to draft a new constitution by the
, Js . general Assembly, and while some
ents in it were objectionable’to some
numbers, only one member of the
na te Moore of Craven voted
igainst i'. and the general opinion
pressed by members of the Senate
*3.- that the committee had done a
»-eil nigh perfect job in re-draftirig the
gate's organic law.
.senator Moore opposed the bill from
•he beginning, and offered several
amendments which were voted down.
His effort to get through a substitute
bill providing for the calling of a
State convention to draft a new con
stitution, failed to gain support and
hewithdiew it before the Senate had
a chance to vote on its adoption. The
present bill, if it is adopted by the
House of Representatives, will be sub
mitted to the voters for their ap
proval or rejection in the next gen
eral election. . . , ■
The principal amendment adopted
by 'he Senate during a two-day dis
cussion of the new Constitution in
volved the right of jury trial. As
drafted by the committee, the bill
would have permitted a verdict upon
less than a unaimous vote of the
jurors involving offenses less t\ than
capital crimes when the* defendant
waives jury trial. As amended, a un
animous verdict would also be man
datory in cases involving felonies. An
other amendment would prevent the
legislature from enacting legislation
permitting the>abuse of‘ ; .»he issuance

Raleigh. March 16.— The upper
(branch of the General Assembly, al
though- It has pretty We n caught U p
W ?[ k a week now con
fronted with a calendar so congested
hat it 1S generally believed that it will
hav« to abandon its practice of avoid
ing night sessions and get down to
•longer houfs of work.
While it i s true that the Senate
wh i ha " e l me l ° do a lot of w ohk
while the House is considering the
appropria (ions bill, there are about
hirty bills of a State-wide nature on
he Senate’s calendar. Since that body
is now forced with a half dozen or
•so major bills the calendar will grow
longer and longer for the next few
days.
The Senate has before it the Mac-
Lean-Bailey eight months’ school biU
the McNeill bill changing the elec
tion laws of the State, three bill by
Senator Aiken, of Catawba, which
would ermit consolidations of county
and mun'ciola governments, the John
son bill reducing the cost of automo
bile licenses, the bill incorporating the
North Carolina State Bar as an
agency of the State, the Thompson
resolution calling on State depart
ment heads to dismiss married wo
man from their payrolls, and manv
others-
W’hile there has been a lull recent
ly in the activities of committees,
there are several important bills
which will probably be reported to
the upper house within the next few
days and will take their place upon
the already crowded calendar.
Legislative Deadlock
Is Now Feared
(Oontinuea from Page One.)
Schools |Uie • balancing- of (the
budget.
The Senate, however, is regarded as
being almost unanimously in favor
of the eight months school term and
sales tax. as advocated by the Gov
ernor, with not more than five or six
senators opposed to it. In fact, the
Senkite is expected do pass the Biailey
rMadLean eight mb"ths school term
bill toddy or tomorrow, which: will
have the effect of binding the Sen
ate to hold' out for an eight months
teim, which, of course, will also mean
a sales tax—land Most probably, a gen
eral sals tax.
Oppose Sales Tax *
There is still a good sized majority
In the House however, that believes
that sufficient revenue can be raised
for the six months school term and
the various State departments and
institutions without recourse to any
form of sales tax. Miany of these
have already declared that they will
stay here all summer if necessary, be
fore they will vote either for an eight
months school term or for any form
of sales tax. Other members of this
group declare they will not vote for
a sales tax until every other possible
means of getting new revenue hias
been exhausted. If after these other
methods have been tried the budgt is
still out of balanc, they then mlay
vote for a sales tax in order to make
up the difference. But not until
then. And they mean wihrat they say.
As a result, it si believed that if a
vote should be taken! today in the
House on the question of an eight
months school term and a sales tax,
that both proposals would be defeat
ed by a vote of at least 60 to 40. For
at the present time, the opposition to
any form of sales tax and to an eight
month® term hold® a working miajor
ity of at least 20 votes.
Advocates of the governor’s pro
gram for an ete'ht months school term
and a sales tax of some sort —appa-
rently a genera 1 sales tax—ito supply
the needed revenue, maintain that if
the Senate rmains fir miin its prsent
deteimination not to accept anything
that will not put the governor’s pro
graming effect, enough members of
the house will eventually change their
pcstion so that an agreement can be
reached. They believe that as soon
as mor House members have had time
to hear from the people out over the
State, more and more will come
around lo an advocacy of the gover
nor’s program and eventually vote
both for the eight months term and
a sales tax. This group believes that
a sates tax of some sort will be found
necessary to provide enough revenue
to balance the budget even with a six
months school term, and that when
the House realizes this, a majority
can then be obtained to boost this tax
enough to take over th e egiht months
schoo 1-tcrm also.
It is agreed tihat this mlay take sev
eral weeks —at least three weeks and
perhaps as much as siix weeks. It is
recalled that the 1931 General As
sembly remained in a similar dead
lock for almost thr© months after the
regular 60 days terimi expired.\ And
those on both sides declared they can
stay here just as long, if necessary.
Past experience indicates that the
House is more likely to weaken and
HENDERSON, (N.CJ HMLY DISPATCH, THURSDAY, MARCH 16, IMS'
weaken mor e quickly than the Senate,
because of the larger membership and
the record wlhilch th House has for
changing its position ~ ; ofltener on
than the Senate. >' Aifc
that the pay of $lO a day which the
n embers h ' ave been getting has now
ceased', must also be taken into coai
s-deration. - Some House r members
have already returned to their home,
and others will go soon. This fact
wiill tend to give the supporters of the
governor a growing advantage. But
it will take a good deal of time yet
to win over the 20 to 25 votes still
needed to give them a majority.
The present situation:, incidentally,
exactly opposite from that in 1931.
For now thjs House isr opposed to any
sale® tax and to the longer school
term, while the Senate is for both.
In 1931 the House was for any form
of sales tax, either general or luxury,
and was demanding a larger State
supported school term.
STATE BANK LAWS
ON NATIONAL BASIS
Conform to Federal Statutes
Inf Helping Institu
tions to Open
Unity UUpatch Rarena.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
BY J. C. BASKERVII.V,
Raleigh, March 16.—The emergency
banking bill which was passed by
the General Assembly without opposi
tion and ratified yesterday afternoon,
brings North Carolina’s banking laws
in conformity to the national regula
tions set up by Congress last week,
and is designed to permit, the re
opening of scores of North Carolina
baifks which could not otherwise re
sume business on an unrestricted
basis by meeting the present stringent
requirements.
The bill permits the commissioner
of banks, with the approval of the
governor, to appoint conservators to
supervise such banks as cannot now
(re-open. These conservators, whose
services will not cost the State any
thing and whose salaries will be paid
out of the bank’s assets, will so re
gulate the bank’s business that they
may reopen on an unrestricted basis
as soon as the conservator is con
vinced that they are in position to
meet all demands of depositors.
The measure also carries a provision
permitting the reorganization of
banks' under an agreement of 75 per
cent of the stockholders. Under a
similar agreement, the issuance of
preferred stock for certain amounts
of deposits would also be permitted.
At present neither of these can be
done without the approval of 100 per
cent of thb stockholders. This bill
will permit many of the banks, it is
believed to sell ther preferred stock
to the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration. '
The General Assembly is expected
to act within the week on the Aycock
bill, which has been approved by the
banking commissioner, and which is
now on the House calendar. It pro
vides for the substitution of State and
Federal bonds pledged out of a bank’s
surplus for the present; double in
demnity stock requirement. . This re
gulation would be mandatory on the
part of new banks organized under
the State law, but would be optional
with those banks now operating. :

majority of representatives were
pledged to pass the substitute.
Every reference to the feasibility of
running an eight months school term
was predicated in Senate argument
on imposition of a sales tax was fair.
(Opponents brought in the sales tax
with assertions that the budget can
be balanced without such a levy if
proper cuts are made-
The eight months plan “will ac
complish more for efficiency and eco
nomy than all other plans presented
this assembly put together,” the Sen
ate was told by Mac Lean.
Senator Clement told his fellow leg
islators i hat he was now opposed to
any new taxation, including his own
“production tax” proposed earlier in
the session, and that a vpte for the
eight months term meant a vote for a
isales tax or new taxation.
Further Drastic Cuts .
In State Expenditures
Ordered by Ehringhaus

ments will be “below our salary
totals.”
The State Corporation, Commission
was reduced 37 percent, having ex
pected an allotment- of $8,680, and be
ing given only $5,450. *The attorney
general and the clerk of the Supreme
Court said the allotment to their of
ficers would not pay the salaries,
much less any general expenses.
In its memorandum, the Budget Bu
reau said:
“Savings have heretofore been em
phasized in all other directions, to
maintain salaries and wages; and
now, of necessity, they must be riiade
largely, if not altogether, in salaries
and wages—reducing the number of
personnel, and reducing wages.
The memorandum was’ issued over
♦he signature of Governor J. C. B.
Ehringhaus, whose only comment
iwhen asked to what extent the It .rang
ed was: “It is very drastic”
Henry Burke, director of the budget,
could not be reached for figures on
the extent of the cut.
The reduction will “dare your in
genuity and will call for all
your reserves of wisdom, patriotism
and self-sacrifice,” the memorandum
warns “heads and budget officers of
the institutions.”
“The financial condition of the State
has been growing progressively worse,
there seems to be no end to the dry
-'ng up of revenue sources, and there
is no possibility of borrowing further
sums, even if it were desirable,” the
memorandum stated.

As a result of the Cherry appropri

The committee appropriations bill,
caMing for .from tee
general fund amountilg to virtually
$^5,000,000 a year, Yepresenis the ideas
| of minority group that is. supporting
the of Governor fchrtng
haus. It is generally conceded that
this bill will. requlire a sales tax to
provide the necessary revenue, even
with only a six months school term.
If the school term Is increased U
eight months, the bill will have to be
increased to $27,000,000 a year and an
even larger sales tax will be needed.
The Bowie WDJ, calling far appropri
ations from the general fund of only
$19,287,050, represents the ideas of the
radical group, also believed' in the
minority, in favor of slashing the cost
of government, indiudiing that of the
schools, to the bone rather than levy
any new taxes _ TMs bill would not
make necessary the imposition of any
new taxes, but it would virtually
wreck the six months school system,

The Cherry l biil> is plainly a-'com
promise :WJl' between; the two extremes
represented : by the ©qmimitte bill and
the. BovUe bill, calling for a total
general fund budget’ of $21,777,432, as
compared with the committee hill
budget </f ,$25,000,000 and the Bowie
Mil buoget of $19*287,050. There is
little 1 doubt that a majority of the
anti-isaJes tax and anti-eight months
school tenn group will follow Cherry
rather than Bowie or the bill advo
cated *by the Ehringhaus group—at
least sos the time being. For the .pre
sent there is. liittlif * likelihood v that
either of tee three groups will be. able
to get a majority. But eventually it
is believed that a : oomipromllse bill bill
will be worked ' ouit somewhere be
tween the Cherry and th® committee
bill-figures, rather than between tee
BoWi' knd the Cherry bill totals. In
obhet Words. indtOatiOns Are that
whfi| the House does not want either
an eight mOnths school term j or a
.tax, that it is going to make
adequate provisions for the six month
sdhOol terin and other state activities.
The Three BUls
There are three different appropri
ations bill's now before tee House,
tee appropriations! committee bill,
calling for an appropriation from tee
general fund of approximately $25,-
000,000 a year; the Cherry bill, offered
last night as a substitute for the com
mittee bill, calling for a total outlay
of skl .777,432, a year and tee Bowie
bill, calling for a budget of only $19,-
287,d50. It is generally conceded that
the committee .bill, although calling
for only a six months school term,
camtot be financed without recourse
to a sales tax. The other two bills,
th©i4 authors Maim,, can be financed
without any sales tax, although
Cheirry wbuld divert $2,000,000 a year
from tee State Highway Fund to the
general fund in order to secure the
$21,777,432 a year his Mil calls for.
The total alloted to the various di
visions under these three bills for tee
first year of the new biennium (1933-
34 are as follows:

card a diamond. He must discard
a spade or a heart on the first trump
led. Z must follow B's discard.
Suppose that B lets go a spade, and
that Z does the same. A may as
well let go a spade. He needs only
two spades to defeat the contract.
Having found that B discards a
spade, and Z having done the same,
a spade must be led by Y, and won
by Z. A must follow suit- Lead Z’s
top diamond. Discard from Y’s hand
the; suit of which Z still holds the
two cards —in this case discard one
of V’s hearts. Next lead a low dia
mond. Y must- trump the trick. A
must hold his last spade, and let go
twd hearts on the two leads of dia
monds. Each player now holds three
cartls, as shown below.
