Berlin, March 29.—(AP)—Germany’s
boycott of Jews, although it does not
begin officially until the morning of
Apiii 1, already has begun to take
form.
This morning the Berlin city gov
ernment ordered that from April 1
on, all supplies for municipal pro

from Nationalist merchants.
Forty-eight Jewish shops, picketed
by National Socialist storm troopers,
were quickly closed by their owners,
and a number of other shops run by
non-Jews on money borrowed from
Jews, also were picketed
Jewish professors were prevented
from entering the class room build

Hugo Sinzheimer, a member of the
university faculty, and three* Jewish
attorneys, were placed under "pro
tective arrest ” Professor Sinzheimer
was a reporter for the war guilt com

Jewish persecution published abroad.

London, March 29.- (AP) —The ques

Burgin Bill Would Afford

Raleigh. March 29.—The almost un
animous support which Senator Bur
gin’s unemployment insurance bill
has received in the Senate has vir
tually assured its passage, according
to opinion here. Expressions from
many Vhembers of the House of Re
presentatives indicate that they will
support ihe measure and that it will
pass that body. About the only op
position to the measure that has de
veloped so far has come from some
of the interests which have consis
tently and unsuccessfully fought *he
principle of workman’s compensation
Insurance since the begining ons the
present session.
The Burgin bill was passed by the
Senate by an overwhelming vote of
29 to 8 on second reading, its final
passage being delayed by considera
tion of the appropriations bill. Since
the idea of unemployment insurance,
the principle of which has been ap
plied to a total of 38.000,000 workers
in 19 countries of the world, is re
latively new in North Carolina, and
since it is not designed to take care
of the present unemployment situa
tion, Senator Burgin offered an amend
ment to his bill so that it won’t go
into effect until February 1, 1935-
Thus, in event the bill is finally
passed by both houses, North Caro
linians will have nearly two years to
study the matter and if they don’t
like it, the 1935 legislature can repeal
it before it ever goes into effect. The
Burgin bill is modelled after unem
ployment insurance laws that have
been adopted by several states. It is
estimated that it would affect pro
bably 320,000 workers in North Caro
lina engaged in manufacturing, trade,
transportation, building, mining, fish
ing, forestry, and in hotel®, restaur
ants and laundries. The earnings of
these workers totalled about 3290,000,-
000 in 1929, according to latest avail
able figures.

FRANCE TO DELAY DEBATE
ON INTEREST DUE ID O- S.
Paris, March 29. —(AP) —The gov
ernment is seeking to d§lay parlia
mentary debate ot\ the $19,000,000 debt
installment due to the United States
last December, so that negoiations
with Washington may proceed un
hampered.
Foreign Minister Paul-Boncour is
expected to ask the foreign affail's
committee of the Chamber of Deputies
to postpone discussion of the problem
for weeks, inasmuch as the
government, beliewes debate would
be inopportune under the present cir
cumstances. Edouard Herriot, chair
man of the committee is expected to
accede.
PERIOD OF GRACE
- ON TAXES TO END
Will Be No Further General
Extension by State or
Government
Raleigh, March 29.—(AP)— The
"period of grace” allowed income tax
payers by the Federal atid State gov
ernments until midnight March 31
'is not expected to be extended.
Gilliam Grissom, collector of inter
nal revenue for North Carolina, said
today that he did not expect the gov
ernment to make any further exten
sion of time for filing returns and
paying inepme taxes. The collector de
scribed as "most unusual" the 15-
day extension already granted.
A. J. Maxwell, State commissioner
of revenue who announced that the
State would enforce no penalties for
failure to make returns until March
31, except to charge interest for the
15-day period, said he expected to
make no further allowances.
Both Grissom and Maxwell called
attention to the pro ision in the jaw
which allows then: as collectors to
grant individual extensions for “good
and sufficient reasons.”
three or more persons working for
them are included in the plan under
the Burgln bill, except those engaged
In agriculture, interstate commerce,
government service, and certain oth
ers. Casual and non-manual workers
earning more than $2,000 a year are
excluded.
Should this proposed plan have been
in effect in North Carolina for the
past ten years, its proponents point
out, it would have, to a great extent,
taken care of the present unemploy
ment situation. Benefits to workers
under the plan are limited to 50 per
cent of the full-time average wage of
the applicant, the maximum benefit
being sls a week. Each unemployed
worker is also limited to six weeks’
benefit in any 12 months period. There
is also a requirement that applicants
must have been employed for at least
26 weeks in the year preceding ap
plication, or 40 weeks in the two years
preceding application. The State trea
surer would be custodian of the un
employment insurance fund.

Washington, March 29. (AP)—
President Roosevelt. asked Congress

Pledge of Cost of Production
May Be Arranged by
Government
Washington, March 29. —(AP)-*-- In
strict privacy the Senate Agriculture
Committee today set about re-writing
the administration’s sweeping farm
relief bill, with all indications the
committee would seek to include in
the measure a provision for insuring
to the farmer the cost of production
on that portion of his crop going into
the domstic market.
This would be a version of the do
mestic. allotments plan and coincide
with the views of John A. Simpson,
president of the National Farmers
Union, who consumed seven hours of
the committee’s hearing time in pre
senting them-
The majority of committee mem
bers privately express to newspaper
men the opinion that the cost of pro
duction ought to be guaranteed in the
bill and hat tit should include a fair
return on the farmer’s investment.

BY J. C. BASKERVILL.
Raleigh, March 29. —The appropria
tions bill has receded into the back
ground of popular interest here, de
spite the fact that it is under con
sideration in the Senate, it is general
ly agreed, and is not likely to come in
for much attention until the Senate
takes up the public schools approp
riation. One reason for this is that
for several days now the bill to le
galize th esa'le *of beer has been in
the spotlight and. taken legislative
attention away from almost every
thing else. Another reason is that it
is generally agreed that the Senate
will restore the original committee
bill rigures to the appropriations bill
until it reaches the public schools
section. So there has really been
nothing new to watch for.
When the Senate takes up the pub
lic schools section of the bill, how
ever, it will again become the center
of legislative interest and attention.

These first votes occurred as the
