the campaign for election of republican senators next fall. Senator Hastings oi Delaware was appointed to head the committee, closely balanced between the conservative and progressive factions ol the party. BID FOR UNION McNary made a bid lor a united front with the announcement that the committee would support all republican candidates and would not go behind their nominations to determine what faction they represented. "There will be no discrimination with respect to the definition of the word repuoiicanism," he said. Senator Dickinson of Iowa, one of the republicans who has been most outspoke in criticism of the democratic administration, was named as vice chairman of the committee.

Others named were: Capper oi Kansas, Norbeck of Soutr: DaKota, White of Maine, Nye of North Dakota, Barbour of New Jersey, Stciwer of Oregon and Carey of Wyoming, Ordinarily of minor importance, the senatorial committee is expected to play an influential part in this year's election because of the iinancial impotence of the national committee. McNary said it would conduct its own campaign to raise lunds for support of thr republican candidates, with headquarters in New-York, and sub-headquarters in Chicago. The make-up of the senatorial committee has been the subject ol long under-thc-surface conflict within republican ranks, because of the contest for control of the party between the various factions, OLD GUARD OUT Though McNary managed to keep a fairly even balance between the conservative and progressive factions, he selected six of the committeemen from the west and only three from the east. Not onecoula be considered a member of the "old guard" faction of the party formerly led by Senators Watson of Indiana and Moses of New Hampshire. About 325 pints of "bottled in bond'' hiskies were seized by county and city officers at a dwelling house off the White Horse road late last night.

The ol fleers were searching for a man on a charse of burglary when they entered the house and came upon the room stacked with pints and quarts of labeled and sealed liquors. Three men were placed under arrest. This was the largest catch of "real" whisky in the city or county in several years. The following brands were included in the haul: Johnny Walker, Three-Star Hennessey, Old Rum. Canadian Club rye and Lincoln Club rye.

The following officers took part in the raid: Deputy Sheriffs Guy Paris. J. M. Bayne and J. T.

To become members of the federal insurance guarantee, state banks were required to meet rigid conditions by the federal authorities.

By the purchase of this capital stock in many institutions, the government has perhaps the greatest interest in and control over the banking structure of the nation in recent history. COLUMBIA, Jan. E.

Lafaye has been appointed South Carolina chairman for the fund created bv the civil works administration ior artists and is ready to receive applications for work, he announced yesterday. Allocation of the work in five states the Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida is in charge oi a central committee headed by J. J. Haverty of Atlanta. In each oi the states Haverty appointed an architect to receive and consider applications.

Blease. Other paintings will be of designated landscapes of historical interest, of industries and historic buildings and streets. Only easel paintings are called for now. The field will probablv be extended to include mural paintings and sculpture later, Mr. Lafaye said.

"In order to facilitate the work I have selected two outstanding and independent artists to assist in selecting subjects and persons," Mr. Lafaye said. "They are Mrs. Elizabeth O'Nci Vemer of Charleston and Mrs. J.

C. Frt of Gaffney." Those wishing to apply for the work have been requested to write to Mr. Lafaye at once for app i-tion blanks.

The time may be extended by congress. Armour Out Oi Red First Time In Years nHTPAno Jan, 1 (AP) Ar justice to all state administrators of justice mal es it mandatory on judges and others who come in contact with criminals who seem hereditarily endowed with a penchant for committing crimes, to report these cases forthwith ti those in charge of the eugenic courts. New Years day being a holiday, the courts will begin to function on the 2nd as the KexMnische. Zciting puts it, "to prevent such characteristics as are only a burden lo the nation as a whole, from being inherited from one generation to another." Disapproval of the Roman Catholic clergy, reflected In a bi'ji ter reference to the law by P'fc Pius in his recent message to tlwl1 world, has been allayed following to the German government bv Cardinal Bertram. CATHOLIC CONCESSIONS The government in reoly prom ised not, to compel any Catholic" judge to serve on a eugenic court, nor to order the surrender of a criminal to such a court, and po; to compel any Catholic physician to perform the sterilization operation.

Assurances were further eivcii tn the Cardinal that the letter and spirit of the law would be scrupulously observed. The fact that the Evangelical Church is under Nazi leadership precluded any articulate protests from that quarter. Fulton H. Anthony rnJiiirsb, Jan. 1.

1. Despite the fact that the year 1933 was an "off" year in point of business volume done in the office of the clerk of court for this county, a statement of fees received through the office and turned into the general county fund today disclosed the fact that the clerk's office was more than self-sustaining, in fact was quite lucrative, as far as county is concerned. The year 1933 was the first during which the clerk's office and several other of the county offices were put on a straight salary basis by statute. In the past the officials had received the fees, which now are turned into the country treasury. Clerk of Court B.

C. Young today reported total collections of fees for the nast 12 months as being and an additional $177, which was collected by the clerk for the account of the county auditor. The above totals do not include fines, but relate only to fees for deeds. The total amount of the fees was mortgages and other legal processes, considerably in excess of the salaries paid the clerk and his two deputies. Last year the three officials received $4,200, which is less than the net fees collected.

An additional saving of $1,000 was effected with the abolition of this item which formerly was paid the clerk of court as a salary for holding general sessions court. The statute provided a total of $5,00 for the compensation of the clerk and his deputies, but the delegation last year trimmed $600 from the salary of the clerk and half this amount from the wage of each of the deputies. The greatest receipts for any one month during the last year was reported in May when the total was $1,141.55, June was next with BAKER PRAISES TBE KILTS Chairman Of 1933 Moboliza-tion For Human Needs Well Pleased PUPPffi, PLAN ADVANCED ECTR mour and company released a con solidated income statement iuuny showing that its Illinois and Dela CUMMINGS' LETTER Cummings' letter to the President follows: January 1, 1934. Dear Mr. President: Pursuant to your request, I have the honor to submit to you a brief report of the work of the Federal Deposit Insurance corporation.

We have insured 13,423 banks. The insurance covers deposits up to $2,500 until July 1, 1934, when the permanent provisions of the act become operative. A careful survey shows that 97 per cent of the total number of depositors are insured in full. We found 141 banks ineligible for insurance. A number of them may be insured by making certain corrections.

In other words, approximately 1 per cent of the applying By A. B. BR VAX The Greenville Public library is riven a prominent place and is cited as an outstanding example of library service to the entire public in forthcoming publication of the South Carolina Experiment station, Bulletin 292, Libraries of South Carolina, by Miss Mary E. Frayser, head of the home economics section of the station. The first library to provide service to the entire county, the Greenville library is one of the onlv three in the state with full county service, and its service in book circulation is the largest of these three, the data in Miss Fray-ser's bulletin show.

Charleston and Richland are the other two counties with full public library service. GREENVILLE LEADS WAY Discussing the progress of library service in South Carolina, Miss Frayser calls attention to the enabling act for tax-supported public libraries as passed in 1915 as a result of the efforts of Miss Louise McMaster. then librarian of the Marion library, and Dr. R. M.

Kennedy, librarian of the University of South Carolina. According to the terms of this act, a county, township, or school district may acquire, own, or operate a public library for the support of which taxes not to exceed two mills may be levied. -Six years later," says Miss Frayser, "in May, 1921, the Greenville public library opened its door for a service made possible by the vision and generosity of two of its outstanding citizens. The most notable public library work done in South Carolina during the period 1923-1931 was that of the Greenville public library under the leadership of Miss Charlotte Tcmplcton. In January, 1923, the library was taken over by the city, which provided a two-mill tax for service within the city limits.

The amount available from this tax was supplemented by gifts from the two citizens to whom reference has been made for city library work and for library extension service to residents of mill villages and of the open country of Greenville county. Ail bet was passed in 1925 creating, 'a library district to be known as the Greenville county library district' and in 1928 it was amended to provide for the appointment of library trustees, election limitations, and contract or contracts lor library purposes. "In 1927 the demonstration of countywide book service had been made. Hie matter of tax levy of one mill for library support was piu up to the people of Greenville county living outside of the city of Greenville. It carried.

"The provision by Greenville county for service to the negroes of both city and county was the first made for public library service to negroes in th's state." COST VS. SERVICE Pointing out that the Greenville library costs the average taxpayer less per year than the price ot one good book or magazine subscription, Miss Frayser states that over 100 points outside the city of Greenville receive from the horary some form of library service, and that the libraries for white and negro people are paid for jointly by city and county in proportion to use. In this connection she quotes from an annual report of the Greenville library "By keeping a separate record at the city library of city and count? circulation, which is an easy mattei1 with our system of lending records, we can charge to the county its share of the central library's expenses prorated on the basis of circulation. In this way the comity is able to provide for itself a more specialized reading service at a minimum cost and in proportion to its use of it. At the same time, the overhead being spread over a larger supporting unit, the city is enabled to give its patrons the benefit of an expanded service.

There is a distinct financial advantage to both sides in this piece of cooperative management." From another report she quotes to indicate the wide use of th.2 Greenville library: "From Septemoer, 1930. to June 1931, the county department of the Greenville library circulated 135,181 books to school children through its various agencies. This does not include the books circulated in the children's room of the main library to county children, which would probably add about 10,000 more." SUPPORT AND CIRCULATION Interesting data on the income and the circulation of libraries, gathered by Miss Parmalce Cheves and tabulated by Miss Frayser show-that the Greenville library is one of the three adequately supported, "full-distributing" county public libraries in the state; that the Greenville library leads in total population served, total number of vol ware corporations and their sunsiai-aries earned a net, profit in 1933 for the first time since 1930.

I believe that the insuring of bank deposits will not only be of incalculable value in restoring public confidence in the nation's financial institutions now strengthened, but that it will be of tremendous assistance in hastening the return of prosperity. It will banish the fear of the depositor as to the safety of his money and from the banker's point of view, the elimination of the possibility of sudden and heavy withdrawals will make possible the expansion of credit for legitimate purposes. The federal government has subscribed $150,000,000 to the, capital of the Federal Deposit Insurance corporation, the Federal Reserve banki have subscribed $140,000,000 and in assessments the corporation has received over $37,000,000, making a total of $327,000,000 available for the immediate use of the corporation.

It is quite clear, she continues, that the need for libraries in South Carolina was never greater tlan today.

Among the factors inducing a greater demand for free books are shorter hours of work with more hours of leisure; entorced leisure due to unemployment; more students in secondary schools and a better educated people who require more reading material; recognition of the desirability of books suited to the ages, tastes, grade needs, and reading abilities of elementary school children; the reading needs of high school students; the book needs of adults pursuing educational studies (it is estimated that there arc five such adults to every candidate for a college degree in the United and the more generous recognition of the wisdom of providing reading matter for every age and interest. SPECIFIC SUGGESTIONS Among the specific suggestions which Miss Frayser wishes to make' toward meeting the needs of the state in free library service to all the people" arc these: 1. A tax-supported public library system organized on a countywide basis in every county in South Carolina with sufficient income to operate efficient systems of free distribution to every person within the area of support. 2.

De-signed to "furnish a fair and equitable arrangement" satisfactory to both the United States and its insular possession, the program calls for: 1. The Philippines should at once be given a system of responsible government, subject to certain restricted rights of intervention by an American governor-general. 2. While enjoying this status, ths islands should have the right to be represented in all colonial conferences. 3.

This period of responsible government should terminate at the end of 10 years, subject to the conclusion of an international neutralization agreement. 4. The United States should surrender all naval bases in the Philippines to take effect upon neutralization and independence. A Philippine neutralization agreement, should be negotiated as part of a settlement of larger Pacilic issues at the naval conference to ba held In 1935 or later. 5.
