BY £ C. fIASKEHVILL
Raleigh, Sept. 7.—Many additional
teachers will be necessary to take
care of the increased number of chil
dren expected to be in the first grade
this fall as a result of the action by
the State School Commission in
changing the entrance requirements
so that any children who become six
years of age by January 15, 1936, may
enter the first grade this fall, ac.
cording to Leßoy Martin, who will
serve his last day as secretary of the
commission Monday. The old regula
tions were that only those children
who become six years of age prior
to November 15 may enter the first
grade.
“We will have no way of knowing
how many additional first grade
teachers will be required as a result
of this change in the entrance re
quirements for first graders, but as
a conservative estimate I would say
we will have to employ at least 100
more teachers than we have been
planning to,” Martin said. “The su

would “exercise crecutive authority,’

The governor said he had directed
the State highway patrol to turn back

“If the commissioner of agricul

inspection law, and protect the citrus
industry, I will do so myself,” thb

he did not have authority to enforce

Raleigh, Sept. 7.—Virtually the en

Public Works Commission, in session
here Thursday and Friday, was taken
up in hearing numerous delegations
from many different sec ions of the
State in the now well-known “Oliver
Twist act” of “Please sir, we want
some more,” These delegations asked
for only some $15,000,000 worth of
new roads, Within the past two years,
various delegations have requested
the highway commission to build
more than $300,000,000 worth of new
roads. Yet the maximum available
for new highway construction this
year and next, including the Federal
grants which have to be expended un
der Federal regulations, is only $15,-
000,000 a year. Os this amount, ap
proximately $6,000,000 a year must be
spent on the Federal Aid system and
about $9,000,000 on WPA-Rclicf pro

Raleigh, Sept. 7—State Senator
Harriss Newman, of Wilmington, New
Hanover county, is by no means out
of the contest for the nomination for
Lieutenant Governor in spite of the
efforts of a good many people to
count him out of it and make it ap
pear he is running for something
else, many of his friends here are
convinced following his visit here
yesterday. In fact, if Newman runs
for any /iffice at all he will run for
Lieutenant Governor or nothing, a
number of those who talked with him
are convinced. For while Newman
wer directly whether he would or
is understood to have declined to ans
would not run for Lieutenant Gov
ernor. he did state definitely that he
would not seek the speakership of
the 1937 house under any circum
stances, even if he should be a can
didate for the 1937 house.
While Newman declined to discuss
the possibility of his candidacy for
lieutenant governor with news cor
respondents here, there are very defi
nite indications that unusually strong
pressure is coming from every direc
tion of the state and from many with
very substantial influence, his friends
maintain. One reason for the re
newed insistence that Newman become
a candidate, according to observers
here, is the increasing likelihood that

By CHARLES P. STEWART
Washington, Sept. 7.—Treasury of
ficials are not a little afraid of the
Canadian province of Alberta’s ex
periment with the “credi t bonus”
plan.
What they fear is that the “credit
bonus” idea will spread—into the
United States, maybe. It sounds to
them like an idea that should have
a strong appeal to a certain type of
mentality. In fact, they know that
it does, in Alberta; at the recent
election there the Social Credit party,
which advocates the plan, won 57 out
of 63 seats in the provincial legisla
ture. The treasury's econ«.«nists sense
the peril that the germs will be watt
ed across the line —which is only an
imaginary one, between Alberta and
Montana.
These experts don’t understand the
plan at all.
All they are sure of its that it is
expected to pay a “basic dividend” of
$25 monthly to each adult citizen of
thep rovince, and, to young folk un
der 21, of $5 to S2O, ranging upward
according to age.

Raleigh, Sept. 7.—A police court

he will not convict any drivers
brought into his court by highway
palroirren for violation of State high
way and moto~ vehicle laws unless
the” testimony of the highway patrol,
man is substantiated by one of the
city patrolman, it was learned at
the office of the State Highway Pa
trol here today. The reason for the
statement by this judge, it is under
stood, was that he had the impression
the highway patrol was going to
make wholesale arrests for traffic
violations all over the Slate. But this
is not the case, according to Cap
tain Charles D. Farmer, commander
of the patrol. e
“We are very orry that any judge
in the State has an attitude of this
kind towards the patrol, since our
patrolmen cannot do anything to
wards reducing accidents and law
violations unless they have the com
plete support of the judges and courts
over the State,” Captain Farmer said.
“For it is useless for a patrolman to
arrest drivers if the courts will not
convict them. We might as well not
