Mississippi To Be At Flood Stage By End Of Week

MEMPHIS. Tenn., Jan. 2. (UP)—The old man of all the rivers the Mississippi, staggered along with an extra burden to-

day caused by heavy rains in the upper Mississippi and Ohio

valleys. The river rose 2.8 feet

Saturday night to stand 23.4 Sunday.

Flood stage of 3f> feet is ex-

pected Saturday but engineers expected little damage to result. The extent of the overflow in lowlands downriver, they said, will depend upon further rain and whether the weather be- comes decidedly warmer.

The temperature dropped atj 21 degrees Sunday rising to 40 before nightfall. No rain has fallen within the past 24 hours and none is likely for the next

24, which has relieved conditions) in Tennessee and Mississippi where rivers and smaller Streams had been out of their banks but

I were receeding. I The Tennessee, which wriggles through East Tennessee, across

north Alabama and back into Tennessee to go on into Ken-1 tucky and the Ohio, was falling slowly at Chattanooga after go- ing more than seven feet above flood stage of 30 feet.

I Mississippi rivers were falling | and high water was disappear- ing in Alabama, Georgia, North and South Carolina.

The White, Arkansas and Red rivers in Arkansas were still threatening floods in the south and southwestern portions of the

state but no great damage was

reported.

May Act Tuesday In Banking Case BREVARD, Jan. 2.—(Special).

With both the clerk of the su-

perior court absent from his office today, and attorney for defend- ants in the Brevard Banking com-

pany case out of the city, nothing definite was available here today as to whether any action had been taken looking1 toward restitution in the case, which was to have affected a settlement, according to the ruling of the trial judge at a

last action of the superior court on the matter.

There was a general impression that something was being done in 1 the case, or was going to be done j Tuesday, but nothing had been re-

corded officially. It was believed that, this being

a holiday, action would permis- sibly go over until Tuesday.

REX THEATRE

ASSEMBLY TO OPEN JANUARY 4

(Continued from page one) I action on the problems confront- | ing them.

Inaugural ceremonies Thurs- day, include a meeting of the outgoing and incoming governors at the executive mansion at 11

o'clock, to be joined by other state officials, all with their wives, forming a procession to

the auditorium. After the swear-

ing in exercises, adinistered by the chief and associate justices of the supreme court, and the governor's message, the state's official family, from a stand, will review the parade by Fayette- ville street of military and musi- cal units here for the occasion, under command of Adjutant- General J. VanB. Metts.

The governor's reception at

the mansion Thursday evening j from 8 to 10 o'clock will be fol-| lowed by the inaugural ball at

the auditorium, given under aus-j pices of the Raleigh Junion| league and attended by a bril- liant assemblage of men and women from all over the state.

The greatest problem facing the 1933 General Assembly i.s that of finances. The state has reached the point that a balanc- ing of the budget and funding1 the debt, estimated at around

512,000,000, is the all important item in its program. The advis- ory budget commission has work- ed out a plan that is now being reduced to the form of a report and prepared as the revenue and appropriations bias, suojett iu

the scrutiny of the incoming governor. He has the authority to adopt and submit the pro- gram to the General Assembly, to adopt it in part, or to scrap

the whole business and submit an entirely new program.

General belief is that Gover- nor-to-be Ehringhaus will ap-

prove the program in large part, possibly substituting some items. Ic has been carefully worked out

and appears to those who pre- pared it as the best solution of the problem. It is also believed that the General Assembly will follow it more closely than such

reports and recommendations have been followed befoer, if to that body it seems reasonable and as satisfactory as any plan that could be worked out. It was the breaking away from the program two years ago that was

largely responsible for the five- months session.

The 15-cent ad valorem tax on

property will be removed. This is promised. The $3,850,000 raised by that method will be shifted to other forms of taxes

and allocated to income, fran- chise and license revenues. An- other "cutting to the hone" in all governmental activities for the next two years will be made These two processes are expect- ed to provide means for the state to "squeeze through'' the

next biennium, yith the ever

presetn hope that conditions will approach normal durign that per- iod, when the presentfi or the to-be revenue rates will be suf- ficient. It will take squirming, but the people are already doing that.

Other matters will come up;

prohibition, with probably some

adjustment, at least, of the Tur-

lington law; consolidation of

some state activities; considera- tion of the proposed state con- J stitution; adjusting senatorial districts and reapportioning rep-

resentatives; free or rental text- books; changing the marriage laws; and there might even be a

sales tax, altnough the budget report apparently does not in- clude one; and the other prob- lems now up or that will arise.

Garner Resigns As Congressman WASHINGTON. Jan. 2. (UP)

John Garner resigned today as

congressman from Texas, explain, ing in a letter to Gov. Ross Ster- ling that his coming inauguration as vice-president would make it

impossible for him to remain long-, er as a member of the house.

The speaker's resignation i3 } from the 73rd congress, effective j at the discretion of the governor, j since the 73rd session cannot be- gin until after the presidential in- ; auguration, March 4. The resig-; nation probably will be effective I at that time.

Doctors Give Creosote For Dangerous Coughsj

For many years our best doctors have prescribed creosote in souie form fox coughs, colds and bronchitis, knowing j how dangerous it is to let the n hang on.

Creomulsion with creosote and six other highly important medicinal ele- ments, quickly and effectively stops all coughs and colds that otherwise might

| lead to serious trouble. Creomulsion is powerful in the treat*

| ment of all colds and coughs no matter ! how long standing, yet it ia absolutely ; harmless and is pleasant and easy to take.

Your own druggist guarantees Creo- ! mulsion by refunding your money if you are not relieved after taking Creomul- sion as directed. Beware the cough or cold that hangs on. Always keep Creo- siulsion on hand for instant use, (adv.) i

Lone Gold Mill Is Now Operating At Famous Town

COLORADO .SPRINGS, Col., Jan. 2. (UP)—Cripple Creek, where gold once was God. where fortunes in yellow metal were tossed out over gambling tables at night, and recouped from the hills the following day, has only one gold refining mill left.

Once there were 40 in opera- tion in the Cripple Creek area

alone. Gold once was the chief civ-

ilization of the Rockies. "Pikes j Peak, or Bust." was a slogan of the time, as gold-mad men risk- ed their lives and their saving on a wild dash across the Kan- sas prairies to the new promised land.

But in 1931 only $5,000,000 in gold was produced in the state. This past year the total will be slightly more.

The remaining gold refining plant is the Golden Cycle Mill, here.

It is credited with being the most efficient in the world in the extraction of low grade ore. It handles the ore of the Cripple Creek field, and ore from Alma, as well.

Since the depression has sent prospectors back into the hills in droves, and since the discov- ery of methods of profitably ex-

tracting: gold from low grades ores, the mill has been working almost to capacity.

In 1891, when ore was discov- ered at Cripple Creek, it was

transported by mule teams overt

rough mountain roads to the] smelters at Leadville and Pueblo. j Soon, however, mills sprang up! in every gulch adjacent to the' mines.

The mills sent out $400.000,-( 000 in gold to the cash registers, of the world. *

MAINTENANCE IMPOSSIBLE IF

INCOMES LESS (Continued from page one) 1

says. "The highway bonds are,

cominpr due in increasing! amounts for the next several j years and the principal and in- terest payments must first be! met from highway revenue. Nexti come maintenance of the state and county highways, and the roads cannot be ncglected. The investment in these roads must be protected and the highways kept in such condition as to in- vite traffic. Highway revenue

depends largely upon the use of gasoline and that use is possible only by means of motor vehicles operations. So good mainten- ance is economy in its every respect.''

The report recommends addi- tional legislation to make the evasion of the gasoline tax more

difficult, especially by the adult- eration of gasoline with non-

taxable petroleum products. More stringent inspection laws along this line are advocated. A number of chanpes in the present laws that would provide additional revenue, espccia 11 y from franchise truck and bus lines, and from trucks and buss- es generally, are recommended.

HOBOKEN SEER FORECASTING

1933 TROUBLES (Continued from page one)

of January. I find that great: floods will occur in the southern' and eastern states, with much loss of life and property as a result of such.

"I find that church attend- ance will fall off considerably and that much caustic comment will be uttered from the pulpit as a result of such."

Everyone should be careful, he added, since many large build- ings are going to fall down dur- ing the year.

TAX BODY'S SCHEME HARD TO MAKE LAW (Continued from cage one)

College and all the other colleges in the state, their faculties and alumni, will fight against any fur- ther curtailment in the funds for the upkeep of these state institu- tions. And the alumni of theae in- stitutions, who chop off the heads of football coaches who do not

please them with so much ease

and gusto, are to be reckoned with in politics as well. They can bring a lot of pressure to bear upon a

general assembly. It has been agreed by those who really know that for years both houses of the general assembly have been vir- tually controlled by alumni of the State University nad that as a re-

sult the University has usually gotten just about whatever it wanted.

The other state departments and institutions, however, also have widespread political connec- tions and organizations, capable of bringing1 very strong pressure to bear upon a general assembly. This was demonstrated in 1931 when the anti short ballot forces, led by the elective department heads, got together and decided to "buck" Governor Gardner and his] reorganization program. This anti short ballot group, led by Attor- ney General Dennis G. Brummitt, Chairman W. T. Lee of the Cor- poration Commission, Commission- er of Agriculture W. A. Graham, with the assistance of the other elective officers and their organ- izations, made hings uncomfort- ably warm for the administration forces and threw plenty of brick- bats into the administration pro- gram. There is no doubt that they will do the same thing again if anyone tries to or threatens to amputate any of their funds. These department heads are al) past masters in the game of prac- tical politics and their organiza- tions are well manned with prac- tical politicians who can be used as shock troops in any emergency. The general assembly rarely has been able to resist their massed attack.

Then there is the proposal ic

appropriate $2,000,000 a year from the highway fund for a pe- riod of two years. This plan, of course, will have the support and approval of the school forces and of many of the state departments and institutions, who see in it a

chance to get larger appropria- tions. But it will have the united opposition of the state highway commission, with its 5,000 em-

ployes. of the road materials and road machinery pepole, who al- ways maintain a powerful lobby here. The organized motorists of the state will undoubtedly also be opposed to this plan, as will the truck and bus interests who also have effective lobbyists who know how to g"t results. So that plan will have hard sledding.

So when the various proposals are analyzed, indications are that they will have hard sledding in the general assembly.

joyable affair of the Christmas holidays here was a six-course

dinner given at the Mayfair hotel

by the Charlotte alumni and for-

the school's seal were used as

place cards, and small pennants or

stickers were laid at each plate. Robert Hayes served as toast-

master and gave direction to a va-

ried program in which a large number of those present partici- pated. Several songs were sung, including America, School Days and Alma Mater—Blue Ridge. Short talks were made by Head- master J. R.

NEW PLAN FOR PEACE MEETS

OPPOSITION Say Undercover War Is

Being Waged Between Stimson, White House

By PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—Mr. Stimson was struck violently a

few weeks ago with a new idea for the promotion of peace. All that has come of it so far is war

between the state department and the White House.

Nobody is saying anything about it publicly yet but they will ^oon.

It seems the secretary of state .iecided to use the Chaco dispute to promote a brainchild he has

long been nursing in silence. He wants President Hoover to rec-

ommend that the senate cut off

shipment of arms to all warring nations in this hemisphere. He thniks that would teach boys not to fight.

Apparently Mr. Hoover told him to go ahead and prepare his idea in message form to the senate. The preparation is supposed to have been done by Assistant Sec- retary of State White. He sent

the draft over to Mr. Hoover and an informal announcement about it was made at the state depart-1 ment.

That was a signal lor Lawrence

Richey, Mr. Hoover's confidential secretary, to imitate a 16-incn shell making a direct hit. It is supposed to be unbecoming for a

president to express wrath.. Mr.

Richey always does it for him. He did this time in terms the state department could easily under- stand although some of the words he used are not in the diplomats' vocabulary.

The private explanation is that Mr. Hoover wanted to see the Stimson ideas on paper and had no idea they would get out. He put the draft in the rear corner >f a bottom drawer a week before he went away. It may stay there.

Some of Mr. Stimson's friends are whispering that perhaps he trod on political toes. They point out that some of the Duponts, largest munitions makers, have been prominent endorsers of the president. Also that a Duoont relative, Lamont Belin, was only recently made ambassador to Po- land.

If a munitions maker could pos- sibly have a good excuse for any- thing he would have it in opposing the Stimson plan. The South American belligerents would be only too glad to buy their weapons from Vickers in London, the Poles, French or Czecho-Slovakian—all of whom are competing for the business.

BIG BUSINESS LEADERS ARE MORE HOPEFUL

United Press Writer Makes Poll; Year End Fore-

casts Optimistic By RICHARD L. GRIDLEY

United Press Financial Writer (Copyright, 1932, By U. P.)

NEW YORK, Jan. 2. (UP)— American business has entered into the year 1933 with a con-

siderable degree of confidence and hopefulness despite the cur-

rent abnormally low level of business activity.

Year-end forecasts of leaders in the country's major industries show a growing belief that the depression has reached or short- ly will reach its low point.

While promising no miracul- ous restoration of prosperity, business leaders are far more

hopeful than they were a year ago. They believe improvement next year will depend to a large extent upon early solution of economic problems such as bal- ancing of governmental budgets, settlement of the domestic and intergovernmental debt questions and restoration of the normal flow of goods throughout the country.

Excerpts from year-end busi- ness statements made to the Uni- ted Press by the nation's finan- cial and industrial leaders fol- low:

L. F. Loree. president, Dela- ware and Hudson railroad cor-

poration—I am of the opinion that we have now reached the low point and that we can look forward with confidence to im- provement which, even though slow, will be steady.

F. A. Merrick, President, West- inghouse Electric and Manufac-1 turing company—The processes of deflation have about run

their course, leaving the way open for ?. widely felt realiza- tion of this fact to start all the wheels turning and to keep them turning in an orderly, sustained return to normal.

Colbt M. Chester, Presidi General Foods Corporatiot

J. B. Graham, President, G; ham-Paige Motors Corporatiot I am of the opinion that h; ness conditions generally hi turned for the better.

J. Howard Pew, Presidq Sun Oil company—If conjr. and the 44 legislatures of lj will find means of removing ■

discrimination in tax imposit; they will do much toward op, ing the way to better busim and better times.

look forward in 1933 to an eri

F. E. Williamson, President, New York Central Lines—A sur-

vey of the conditions facing us, and under which we will enter the year 1933 makes it exceed- ingly difficult to predict, with any hope of being right, what course business will take during the coming year.

hopeful that this tend (in elec- trical manufactures) will con-

tinue upward. W. B. Storey, President. At-
