Washington, May 28 lAP)—Con
gress made a slow start on a full
week today, which President Roose

journment missives to the Capitol.
Topmost f orthe President was his
appeal for repeal of the cocoanut oil
import tax. First for the Senate was
the dragging reciprocal tariff debate.
And at the House forefront was only
District of Columbia legislation.
All of which means that the repeal
rush of the week, including the Presi

sources, was put off.

Raleigh, May 28. —Jere P. Zollicof
fer, of Henderson, is now in second
place in the contest for the Democra
of Nashville, Nash vountyy in first
tic nomination to Congress from the
place and George Ross Pou of Raleigh
fourth district, with Harold D. Cooley
according to friends and supporters
of Zollicoffer, in spite of the prevail
ing opinion in most political circles
Jiere that Pou is now leading by a
small margin, with Cooley in second
place and Zollicoffer in third. For
while the Zollicoffer backers admit
that Pou has made some gains this
past week and that Cooley has slip
ped some, they are convinced that the
Zollicoffer gains have more than off
set the Pou gains and that most of
those who have left Cooley have gone
to Zollicoffer. They are convinced
that Pou cannot get more votes in
the primary Saturday than were cast
for Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus
two years ago.
‘‘There were approximately 41,000
votes cast in the Fountain-Ehringhaus
run-off primary two years ago, ot
which the Ehringhaus ‘machine’ cast
13,034 votes,” Zollicoffer pointed out
(here today. “This same machine is
now to a great extent ibacking Pou,
but it will not function as well Satrn
day as it did back in 1932. But we
are gaining strength every day and
there is no doubt that I will be in the
second primary”.

Zollicoffer supporters, the vote in the

Get Cars in Which
To Escape
Guthrie, Okla., May 28. (AP) —Three
heavily armed prisoners who escaped
from the Grayson county jail at Sher
man, Texas, Stunday after slugging a
jailor, were making a wild ride for
freedom across Oklahoma today after
kidnaping two men.
Wlhile speeding oetween Ardmore
and Turner Falls this morning, the
fugitives—George E. Droddy, 19,
Adrian Petty, 16;. and Roy aßtts,
encountered Robert Jones, of Dallas.
Okla., to visit relatives. ones had
stopped to buy tire glue. The fugi
tives abandoned their car and took
Jones’, holding him as hostage.
Two miles south of Guthrie, in cen
tral Oklahoma, Jones’ new car heaicfl
up, and the fugitives stopped another
motorist, faking his automotoile. His
identity was not learned.
After shaking hands with Jones, the
fugitives warned him not to make e
aeport of the kidnaping and released
him. He reached a roadside telephone
and notified officers. Roads were
blockaded throughout Central Okla

BY J. C DASKERVILL.
Raleigh, May 28—For the past ten
years or more the eastern counties
have held the whip hand in the Gen
eral Assembly largely because they
have been more consistent than any
others in electing experienced men toj
the House and Senate session after
session who knew the ropes and how
to get what these counties wanted.
There are indications, however, that
the eastern section especially those
counties in the first and second sena
torial district, may lose the influence
they have formerly wielded in past leg

Raleigh, May 28 —While even thei

New York, May 28. (AP)— Safely

progress on the non-stop flight from

Meanwhile, every prepearation for
their landing was made at Floyd Ben

of wireless reports from Chatham,
Mass, that minor trouble had develop

The estimates are made on the basis
of a total vote in the district of around
