Raleign, Oct. in'--The race for the
vacancy on the ijatienal Democratic
committee, caused* by the resignation
of former Governor O. Max Gardner,
continues to be the center of atten
tion in political circles both here and
ever the State generally. The three
mest bktiy candidates at the present
time, according to opinion in political
circles heve, are J. O. Carr, of Wil
mington; Julian Price, of Greensboro;
and Major L. P. McLendon, lately of
Durham but now also of Greensboro.
A good many think that former Gov
ernor-Senator Cameron Morrison, of
Charlotte, could have had the post if
he had desired it and had not re
moved himself as a candidate when
his former opponent. Senator Robert
R. Reynolds, suggested him for it.
While there is little doubt here but
that C. L. Shuping, of Greensboro,
would like very much to be elected
national committeeman, just as he
wanted to be chairman of the State
Democratic Executive Committee, the
prevailing belief is that his ambition
has been pretty well bottled up by

cent cotton.
That ds the objective of the Ameri.
can (Cdtrton Association,
which asked the government to raise
its ten cents a pound- loa n to 15 cents
to fulfill the administration’s pledge
of pre-war variety.

ernment to advance four cents a
pound to farmers holding the plow.up
option, cotton to prevent approximate
ly 2,400,000 bates from being sold on
the market by*, farmers needing

The plan nroposes that the govern

program and advance an additional
loan of five cents to farmers who
carry out the Department of Agri.

acreage. The government would be'
empowered to sell cotton on which
loans 1 are made where and' if the
price reaches 18 cents.
N. C. Williamson, president of the

Berlin, Oct. 19.—(AP) —An unusual
decree by Finance Minister von
Schwerin - Krosigk indicated today
that Germany is getting ready in ear

All money expended by private in

income and corporation tax returns.
“By the treaty of Versailles,” it

we were denied the most effective
weapon against air attacks.”
“All the greater importance attaches
to civil air protection measures cal
culated to insure the population
against danger of attacks from the
air,” it continued, adding:
“And the interest of the population
as well as the national defense mea
sures. must be most widely encouraged
also by tax reduction.”
