Raleigh Side Show
Shorts About the Political Situation
In the State Capital
(Continued from rage One.j
lor might be available. As a result,
there had not been so much specula
tion here as to who might be ap
pointed by the governor to succeed
him, in the belief that he would stay
here- for some time yet.
SPECULATION RAGES.
But with the announcement yes
terday that Taylor had defin.tely
'been offered the job with the Re
construction Finance Corporation and
that he would have to go to Wash
ington as soon as possible, the spe
culation at once started as to whom
Governor Ehringhaus would select as
ihis choice for commissioner of * pa
roles.
THREE POSSIBILITIES.
Three nan.es are being mentioned
more than any others in connection
with the appointment as commission
er of paroles. There are Charles
Brantley Aycock. of Raleigh, son of
fermer Governor C. B. Aycock; Thad
Eure, of Winton, Hertford county,
principal clerk of the 1933 House, and
before that assistant director of the
div.sion of personnel; Norman Shep
herd. of Smiihfield a strong Ehring
haus supporter in last summer’s pri
mal ies and a young attorney with a
strong political following. The names
of several others have been mentioned
in connection w.th the post, includ
ing those of former State Senator
Charles Whedbee of Hertford Perqui
mans county close personal friend and
advisor of Governor Ehringhaus;
Sta'e Senator Lloyd E. Griffin of
Edenton, Chowan county; Represen
tative Thomas Turner, Jr., of High
Point, Guilford county; Representa
tive Graham A. Barden, of New Bern
Craven county, and several others.
But the prevailing opinion here,
ithough there is nothing from Gover
nor Ehringhaus to substantiate it, is
that the new commissioner of par
dons wili be selected from among the
first three mentioned—Aycock, Eure
and Shepherd.
AYCOCK LIKELY.
A good many on the “inside” of
things here beteve that Aycock pro
bably is in the strongest position for
this appointment right now, because
he is believed to have the political
backing of Major L. P. McLendon,
of Durham, who was campaign man
ager for Governor Ehringhaus in his
primary campaigns and regarded as
being closer t 0 the governor’s ear,
where appointments are concerned,
than any one else. Incidentllay, Mc-
Lendon is Aycock’s brother-in-law,"
which may or may not be significant.
It is also a fact that Aycock support
ed most of Governor Ehringhaus’
measures 'during the General Assem
bly as a member of the House from
Wake county, although he did not
support the kind of school machinery
hill the governor wanted until the
very last moment when it was ap
parent that his own school bill could
not be passed But this not expected
to count against him if he realyy is,
,a.s is reported, the man McLendon is
push ng for the job.
EURE HAS FRIENDS.
The man with *-he largest personal
following and the strongest endorse
ments for the post is undoubtedly
Thad Eure, according to opinion here.
It is generally conceded that Eure
ihas the endorsement of almost every
member of the House and many mem
bers of the Senate for the appoint
ment ias ccmmisfrponer of paroles.
Having served as a member of the
House in 1929 and having been prin
cipal! clerk both in 1931 and 1933,
Eure ha» a wide acquaintance over
the State and a large personal fol
lowing. And while it is known that
,he has made no effort to secure en
dorsements for this appointment, it is
a fact that hundreds of endorsements
for him have been sent to the gover
nors office. There are a good many
ihere who, knowing the work Eure
did for Governor Ehringhaus during
the primary campaigns, as well as
his abaility and the extent of his per
sonal following, do not see how the
governor can disregard him in mak
ing this appointment.

Program Os Public Works
Will Stimulate Business
Moreover, Spending of $3,3 00,000,000 Sum Will Test
Roosevelt’s Greatness in His Ability To Keep Pro
gram Out of Politics; austries to Benefit Most
BY ROGER w. BABSON,
Copyright 1933, by Publishers
Financial Bureau.
Babson Park, Mass., June 2. —The
government’s public works program
is intended to create obs and to stim
ulate business activity. That is a very
helpful purpose and one which every
body will endorse. The way to “prime
the business pump” is to boost em
ployment and purchasing power, and
the new public works bill will surely
help to do that. The only danger
Hies in going to excess. Public works
programs, like currency inflation, are
hard to stop when once started.
Moreover, regardless of the method
of financing used, the taxpayer must
finally foot the bill. We should be
very careful not to pump the etax
payer dry while endeavoring to start
the flow of business; otherwise busi
ness would be harmed instead of
helped. The adminisration must steer
a clear course between the rocks of
oppressive taxation on the one side,
and of extravagant wastefulness on
the other. If it does, . the public
works measure can do much to spur
on business recovery.
How The Bill Will Work.
As with all of the new legislation,
this measure calls for centralizing
great power in the hands of. ope or
two men. Under is provisions the
/huge sum of $3,300,000,000 would be
appropriated to be spent under di
rection of the President through a
Federal administrator of public works
This administrator would draw up a
nationwide works program to include
repair and improvement
of highways, parks, public buildings;
conservation and development of na
tional resources, rivers and harbors
improvements, slum clearance; naval
construction; airplane building,
housing, mechanization, and motor
ization of army units, etc. Also the
ptdmip|Mtiht©r with the .ap
proval of the President, make sub
stantial grants to states, cities, towns
and other public units for similar
local projects.
Undoubtedly this ambitious pro
gram will launch a wide variety of
construction work and will stimulate
many lines of industry and employ
ment. About 1.000,000 men could be
directly employed for each billion dol
lars the government spends. Putting
this purchasing power into the hands
of workers will tend to raise the level
of consumer buying over a broad
field. This in turn should spur manu
facturing operations to greater ac
t.vity and cause the reemployment
of many more workers. An important
feature of the bill is that it gives au
thority for the President to spread
public works into every part of the
United States. It does this in three
ways: First, through the broad scope
of authorized projects, which enable
one or more to be applied in nearly
every locality; second, through the
authority to make grants to states,
towns, and cities fdr local public con
struction up to 30 per cent of the
cost of labor and materials; and
third, through the direct authority
to give the states up to $400,000,000
for highway building. Hence, this pro
gram is not confined to a few big
Federal projects, but can be spread
throughout the length and breadth
of the country.
Industries Which Would Benefit
Most. ’ 1
Obviously the industries that would
feel the first and most direct bene
fits would be those supplying con
struction materials and equipment.
Cement plants, brick and stone con
cerns, structural steel companies,
lumber mills, motor truck manufac
turers, roofing material concerns,
electrical equipment companies, and
most of the so-called “heavy” indus
try lines would feel a substantial
stimulus. Naturally a public works
program of this size can not be put
through in a short time. Location of
sites, the drawing upof plans, and
the large amount of other necessary
preliminary work may mean a wait
of several months before operations
can get into full swing. However, the
knowledge that such a program is
under way should cause producers of
materials and supplies to lay plans
now for a rush of business.
It is not proposed to spend the en
tire $3,300,000,000 at once. Rather the
sum will be spread over a period of
two or three years. Estimates are
that perhaps $1,250,000,000 will be
qpent during tjjje {coming {twelve
months. Even this means an enor
mous demand for both labor and ma
terials. In addition to steel, lumber,
cement, a heavy demand should come
for cast iron and galvanized pipe,
various types of pumps, copper wire,
plumbing materials and supplies,
paints, heating and refrigerating
equipment, insultation, elevators, con
densers, transformers, and allied ma-
SHEPHERD’S CLAIMS.
Norman Shepherd is also a man
with an imposing personal following,
especially in the eastern part of the
state in the counties immediately
surrounding Johnston county, He also
ihas strong political backing from
many known to have real influence
with Governor Ehringhaus. He is also
regarded as being a beneficiary of
the influence of the Pou family not
only in Johnston county, but through
out the entire Fourth Congressional
District. Shepherd does have the dis
advantage, however, of not having
the Statewide contacts which both
.Aycock and Eure have had as the
the result of having been members of
the general assembly, although Shep
herd spent much time in Ralejgh
while the 1933 general assembly was
in session and is well acquainted with
most of its members.
McLENDON’S VICE.
The general opinion here, however,
is that this particular appointment
depends very largely on what Mc
-1 Lendon has to say to the governor
terials and equipment. Securities of
the stronger companies supplying 1
isuch products should be in a favored
position. On the other hand, the gov
ernment will not allow any exhorbit
ant price-boosting of materails which
might endanger the success of the
program.
Method of Financing.
Fortunately the government is de
termined to amortize the new bond
issue needed to finance this program.
An annual sinking fund of 2 1-2 per
cent is provided, which, together with
interest, will amount to a yearly cost
of around $221,000,000. Os course, this
'must mean higher taxes, but some
semblance of a “pay as you go po
licy’’ is the only way to maintain
eoniidence in the government’s credit.
The theory behind the financing of
th:s bill is that the work will so
stimulate business and employment
vhat the public can absorb the in
creased taxation without unusual
hardship. However, danger always
It* s in friending money before you
have earned it. The success of this
public work.-, program will depend up
on the speed with which it does sti
mulate business and thus help to raise
he rational income from which taxes
must he paid.-
It is probable that an issue of baby
bonds, under authority of the Second
Liberty. Loan Act, in denominations
as low as S2O each, will be placed on
•he market gradually to meet the
current needs of the program as they
develop. Efforts will, of course* be
made to pi event depressing the mar
ket by too heavy an issue at first.
cVide popular jsubsoi]i(F»tion will be
aimed at; It is possible that some of
the proceeds of this bond issue may
also be used to meet a part of the
maturing short-term debt of which
there are now $7,000,000,000 outstand
ing. The primary purpose of the
bonds, however, is t 0 finance the re
employment of two or three million
men.
Must Keep Politics Out.
The real test of President Roose
velt’s greatness may well come in the
administration of this public works
bill. If he can keep the administra
tion of this public works bill. If he*
can keep the administration of it
clean and reasonable free from graft,
he wi.ll have achieved a moral vic
tory outshining any of his triumphs
thus far. The political history of pub
lic works in every country is, shot
through With examples of waste; ex
travagance and scandal. Our Presi
dent is an honest, aggressive and
/conscientious executive. His record,
to date leads us to hope that he can
keep the politicians of either party
from making thi§ works ..pro
gram an excuse to loot the public
treasury. The temptations are great
—and the President may have ,to use
the whip. .
Business- as registered by the Bab
sonchart, now stands at eight percent
above a year ago.

At a meeting of the. directors of the
City Baseball League held last night
in the Daily Dispatch office, A. D.
Patterson was named president of
the league to succeed Bob Palkner
for the year and W. C. Stain back
was imiade secretary of the loop, suc
ceeding C. S. Wester. At the same
time,' complete plans for play during
the summer months were discussed
and formulated with six club s al
ready in the loop ready to start play.
The six. clubs that have signified
their intention of entering teams in
(the league are the Lions Junior
Order. M. P. Baracas, M. E. Bara
cas, Christian church and the Jun
ior American “Legion team. These
six clubs give a well balanced league
and pfliay should be very interesting
during the summer months.
The league will operate along the
same lines as it did last year with
each team in the loop bearing its
own expenses and no admission be
ing charged for the gamels . Whether
the season is to be a split one as last
year it is not known, but this will

ironed out.
During' last year, the first time in
the history of the city that a City
League has'been operated, the M. P.
Brea team won the- frist half pen
t-ana race and the Kiwanis club took
the second half
at the end of the season, the M. P.’a
had little difficulty in winning the
“rag” for the season from the Kiw
anis aggregation.
According to the plans of the lea
gue as laid down during the meeting
last night, tfve teams! will play four
days to the week, Tuesday Wednes
day, Thursday and Friday, with the
games starting about 5 p. m. at
League Park, giving each man ample
time to get to the parkvfrom his work
for the games. In this case with
only six clubs, two clubs will play
two games during the week, thereby
giving the players a fine opportunity
to remain in shape for the contests.
Much enthusiasm has been shown
in the loop and play is to begin next
week, the Lions playing t-he M. E.’s
on Tuesday, the Juniors playing the
M. P.’s on Wednesday, the Christians
playing the Legion Juniors on Thurs
day and the* Lions coming back to
play the M. P.’ s on Friday. The
remainder of the schedule is being
drafted by the secretary and Will be
