In ex))laining how the money was expended, Pearson and Allen said that two large PWA power projt'cts wen granU'd in South Carolina to Byrnes with his constituents. During the Mst presidential cam paign, Repuh!icans charged that finl- eral funds were heing,Atoi*s4»-4fi-^many doubtful states to swing them into line for Democratic candidates. But a majority of the 'people did not take this charge serTously, heeause of its source. The authors of “Washington .M<*rry- Go-Round," however, are not partisan Republicans, seeking to diser<*<irt and <lestroy the Roosevelt administration. If the government would have spent j this money in South Carolina had 1 there been no opposition to Byrnes in j his capipaign for the senate, Mr. Ickes j "knows all at>out that, too, I Thousands of people in the United 'States States believe what they read jin “Washington Merry-Go-Round." They have confidence in the accuracy jof the reporting done by Drew Pear- , son and Robert S. Allen in the nation- ^ al capital. 'If their statement about expendi tures in South Carolina goes unan- swere<l, a vast multitude, who, in 1936, refused to believe that the Roosevelt admini.stration was playing politics with government appropriation.s will bt*come convinced that the Republi cans were right. That would be a tragedy, F’or mil lions of people w’ho have trusted the Roosevelt admini.stration would not only find their confidence in it de stroyed, but they would also find their faith in our democratic form of governn'Tent shaken to its foundation. Every citizen who thinks at all is bound to know that no government can long endure which spends money in the way Pearsoti and .Allen say ai^ji federal appropriations were expended in South Carolina. ^ Sen.

' JAMES W. CALDWELL Call No. 38 llQkl PAPERS CHRONICLE PUB. CO. — PluNie 74 TO SWING INTO SPRING Anti “.swing” indeed Ls the most fitting word, hecau.'^e the new silhouette has many striking features that are nothing short of revolutoiiary. A decidetl “swing” away from fashions that have gone be fore. Now we see in dresses the Gypsy, Rumba, Gaucho; the. “Balloon” silhouette and the Gib- . son Girl. Waistlines that are nipped in, and skirts that billow. All new, smart, flattering and most comfortable. SUITS: The man tailored type, jackets a little longer this year. And with this year^ color-eonsciousness, the “lit tle soft suit” comes along impor tantly. These suits have all kinds of cute iXH’kets, shorter jackets and imaginative detail to flatter the girl who is semi-tailored. In exquisite soft colors, they are real ly different. Three-piece suits and costume ensembles were never lovelier, especially in the fur- trimmed groups. Then there are reofer-suit$; a fitted coat and skirt .. . and shortie suits; jj.igger-length iHxxy jacket and skirt . . . and the long l)ox coats with .skirt. And oh. such a variety of materials arui colors. Right now il.s suit sea.son, and the styles have never before been so varied and so fascinating. r'O AXQ» great 1 vogue for suits, wo men have come to realize that a M’ardrbbe is not complete without a coat for dressy or for casual wear. And the welcome news in regard to the new coat.s we are showing is their universal becom ingness awT^svTit. The straight, narrow boxy coat is the predomi nating favorite, designed frequent ly with tuxedo front. It’s showm sometimes with center button.^, .'^onietimes with- a little collar, sometimes with no collar at all if designed to wear with separate fur pieces. Then there are reefer coats and other styles . ^lore. Tweed is a smart newcomer in coat fabrics, flecked like confetti in lovely pastels, giant plaids, neat window’-palie patterns, bold stripes, cereal tw’eeds, homespun tweeds ... all contributing to the new tweed fashion. A. very welcome change from the fleecy type coats. This spring everything is gay , .. gay in color,'gay in motion, itats worn with an audacious tilt, with colored veils tied in dashing ways. Dress accessories in tune with the gay season. Our store brings you a brilliant panorama of exciting spring fashions at their best. You’ll be anxious to see them . . . and we cordially invite you —^ * to come. ' J ■ • 1 CARPENTER’S Newbeiry, S. C I
