Senate Is Broken
Washington, May to (AP)—The
filibuster conducted by Senator
Austin, Republican, Vermont,
against the Norris bill to strength
en the Tennessee Valley Authority
act was broken today when the
Senate voted to consider the legis
lation.
The motion to take up the bill
was made by Senator Norris, Re
publican, Nebraska, and was
quickly approved without a record
vote. The same motion had been
pending in the Senate for two days,
under a rule permitting debate, and
Austin occupied the floor most of
the time, preventing a vote on it.
Whether the Vermont senator
would filibuster against pasasge of

RAYMOND HAMILTON
AND PAL EXECUTED
Ranking Public Enemies of South
west Electrocuted in Texas
State Penitentiary
Huntsville. Texas, May 10 (AP)
Raymond Hamilton, exhibiting, even
in his last minutes, a shell of the vi
cious conceit that helped make him a
tanking public enemy, died meekly
today in the electric chair.
He followed Joe Palmer, his part
ner in the slaying of Major Crowson,
prison guard, to the execution cham
ber. Palmer was pronounced dead
at 12:08 a. m. Hamilton, strapped
into che chair at 12:19, was dead at
12:27.
The electrocution of the 22-year-old
gunman closed a crime career that
began with sneak-thief operations in
his teens and developed swiftly to
bank robbery, kidnaping, prison
breaks and murder.

Dally Dispatch Bnreaa,
In the Sir Waiter Hotel.
BY J. C. BASKERVILIi.
Raleigh, May 10.—While this Gen
eral Assembly refused to scuttle the
bone-dry Turlington Act and to set up
any form of State liquor control, it
also refused to make any effort to en
force it any better than it has been
enforced in the past. But it has ibored
enough holes in the bottom of the
prohibition law to either sink it by the
time the next General Assembly meets
or to require itto be pumped out and
be given a thorough overhauling, ac
cording to meost observevs here. The
only thing that kept this legislature
from scuttling the entire prohibition
law and setting up a system of State
control and State liquor stores was
a group of personally wet but politi
cally dry senators who refused to vote
for the Statewide liquor control bill

Raleigh, May 10.—(AP) —The Sen
ate today passed on third reading by
an 18 to 17 vote the Newman sub
stitute for the Cooper bill to exempt
New Hanover county from the pro
visions of the Turlington act, the State
bone dry law, and to set up a county
dispensary system with a board of
control.
Since Senator Newman substituted
his bill for the House—passed act by
Representative Cooper, the measure
must go back to the House for con
currence. The Cooper bill merely ex
empted the county. whereas the New
man substitute sets up a control sys
tem. Constitutionality of the system
has been questioned by some legisla
tors.
The Senate a short while earlier de

vote, the Spence bill to allow manu

Is No More
Depressioni,
Jones Says
Pinehurst, May 10. —(AP) —Jesse H.
Jones, chairman of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation told the North
Carolina Bankers Association today
“there is no more depression.”
“Let us acknowledge to ourselves
and to the world we are a lot better
off,” he said.
Discussing the work of the RFC,
Jones said billions of dollars had been
loaned banks, industry and insurance
companies alike, all in a period of de
pression, if we have a depression. I’m
not sure we have it.”
Jones said he could “not become
excited” about the outlook for imme
diate payment of the soldiers’ bonus,
as it would only mean anticipation of
a valid obligation, but commented:
“It would probably be worth the
additional cost to get the question cut
of politics.”
Discussing the fiscal policies of the
government, Jones said he did not
feel a “few billions of dollars added
to the debt of the country amounted
to so much when itn the
good it has done.” He said the gov
ernment must remain in a position
to help agriculture, business and in
dustry, ibut was already withdrawing
to some extent.
