Washington, Nov. 29. —(AP) —While

ministration brandished a big stick
~ibelled ‘ taxes" in an effort to curb
; In 1 ;onus drive, advocates of lull and
immediate payment surged forward
today with the slogan “no com

Though administration leaders have

which is on record for full payment.
Senator Borah, Republican, Idah'»,

Raleigh, Nov. 29. —The second par
tial program for new highway con
struction in North Carolina with the
$4,840,941 of Federal funds allotted
to the State by the Public Works Ad
ministration under the Federal Em
ergency Highway Construction law,
has just been approved by Secretary
of the Interior Harold lekes and the
special board which must approve
all such programs before they can be
commended. W. Vance Baise, acting
chief highway engineer, announced
today.
“This second partial program in
cludes most of the projects which the
State Highway and Public Works
Commission will try to get under con
struction during the coming year,”
Bai.se said. “But before we can call
for bids on any of the projects in
cluded in this program, the plans and
specifications on each must be sub
mitted to and be approved by the U.
S. Bureau of Public Roads. Then we
can call for .bids and award the con
tracts, although work cannot be start
ed until the contracts have again
been approved by the Bureau of Pub
lic Roads.”
Most of the lettings from now on
will consist of projects included in
this second partial program, Baise
said, although there are still some
projects contained in the first pro
gram which have not yet been con
tracted for and a few which have not
yet been approved by the Bureau of
Public Roads.
All of the .H,840,941 allotted to this
St'-.te from the Federal aid highway
construction appropriation for 1935
is now available and can be used just
as rapidly as the projects are appro\-
ed in Washington and the contracts
let, Baise said. Aside from about SSOO
-of this amount, which must be
spent inside of cities an dtowns on
streets traversed by Federal aid hign*
ways, all the rest will be spent on
Federal Aid and secondary highways.
This is also the last allotment from
the government which North Caro
linaw ill receive that will not have
to be matched with State funds.

spent the day in camp.
“When a man is in prison. Thanks
giving day is just another day, ac
cording to my view of the situation,”
Roach said. “So we are not giving
them any more to eat on Thanksgiv
ing than on any other day. They had
a good wholesome meal, as they do
every day. but without any frills. The
days when the prisoners got chicken
orturkey on Thanksgiving and Christ
mas have gone for good, as far as
I am concerned. It costs enough to
maintain the prisoners and prison
camps without putting on any extra
frills. Resides, prisoners should be
made to realize that they are prison
ers and that they cannot expect tui
key and cramberry sauce as long as
they are in prion.”

Washington, Nov. 29. — Notwith
standing the forecasts or quite a few
political phophets I’m betting with
considerable confidence on Congress
man Joseph W. Byrns of Nashville,
Tenn., as next speaker of the house
of representatives.
Friends of Congressman Sam Ray
bilrn of Texas have been making tall
claims, but they are unconvicing, for
various reasons.
Should Congressman Byrns, by any
chance, fail to draw the priz%, my
guess would be that it will go to Con
gressman William B. Bankhead of
Alabama, rather than to Congressman
Rayburn. However, I think Congress
man Byrns will get it

At the last election the people vot

That left' political divisions and sub

Whereupon the lower house of the
