President Hoover. McNinch won the
first round in the fight yesterday when
the Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee, by vote of to S, voted to re-
port his nomination favorably to the
Senate. Two Democrats on the COM
mittee, Wheeler Of Montana and Bark
ley of Kentucky. voted with seven Re-
publicanS, including the Progressive
Republican members of the committee,
in favor of McNinch. Tt looks as
though McNinch had more than an
even chance for confirmation by the
Senate itself. AS a matter of fact. Nc
Ninch helped himself greatly by his
testimony before the Senate committee,
apparently convincing Progressive mem
bers of the committee, Republican and
Democratic, that he was not allied with
the power interests of his State and
that he was progressve-mlndeo.

The McNinch matter is likely to have
its reverberations in North Carolina
politics for some time to come. Senator
elect Josiah w. Bailey, who defeated
Senator Simmons in the senatorial pri-
mary last Summer, is strongly opposing
McNinch on the ground that he cannot
be considered a Democrat, and should
not have been appointed a member of
the Power Commission by the Presi-
dent as minority member OF CnaC
body. Cameron Morrison, newly ap-
pointed Senator from North Carolina to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Senator Overman, on the other hand
before the Senate Committee
in support of McNinch's confirmation.
Bailey and Cameron fought side by
side in the senatorial primary to defeat
Senator Simmons because the latter
had opposed AL Smith for President in
1928. But Morrison is personal friend
of McNinch and furthermore holds that
has no connection with the
power interests.
The McNinch nomination, however,
may lead to considerable debate in the
Senate itself. Some OF the Democrats
in that body are irritated because the

of more or less general selling, which
was evidently stimulated by reports of

ried March back to 1880, or even with
the previous low level, while May and
later deliveries made new low records
for the season. May sold of to 1904
and Octobr-' to 1915, with May at this
price showing a decline of 38 points
from the high level of yesterday.
Liverpool cables said that continental
and Bombay liquidation had been abb
sorbed by coverings and that the latter
had been promoted by the reduced bank
rate. The decline in Egyptian cotton
was attributed to a bearish estimate of
the Sudan crop.

EIGHT CASES KEEP
 TOWN COURT BUSY
Apple Sales by Unemployed Re-
 aeCtM in Local Arrests
TRUCK LOADS TOO HEAVY
Speeding Bus Driver Draws Sus-
 pended Fine-Auto Runs Into Truck-Rural Carrier Fractures

The town court dealt with more cases last night than it has seen in several months, there being eight de- fendants charged by state policemen with speeding and overlooking of trucks Selling apples in New York City as a means for aid Of the un- employed seemed to have it's reac- lion in Connecticut and Massachu- setts, as several truck drivers were arraigned last night on charges of driving trucks containing an excess of weight, and apples were the chief cargoes in most of these cases.
 State Policemen Charles Ehlert and Paul Lavin presented charges against Sebastian Corto and James Grace, respectively. for speeding. Corto pleaded guilty 10 the charge and was fined $25 and costs, which raised the total to $3S.31.
 Grace, who is a bus driver for the Yankee Stages, was charged with having passed through Berlin at 2:3o o'clock on the morning of December 19 at q rate of 55 miles per hour. The bus he was driving had on 1t l6 passengers at the time. The defense consisted mainly of q plea based on the good record of the bus driver, who had gone 5 years without an arrest until the one here. Grace said he saw no harm in speed ing at such an early hour of the morning. A nolle was asked for, but fN,.iE, l l I,., did not think it the proper case for 8 nolle, as no driver of a vehicle with Is passengers should travel as fast as Grace was alleged to have been going. The judge imposed fine of $50. which he suspended.
 Produces CrinkIed License
 James Johnson, 2S year old Negro, vas brought into court on d charge of operating an automobile without a license. "I plead not guilty to that, sir" he said when the count was read to him. At this he unfolded a crinkled piece of pink paper, which proved to be license, This proved that he had merely forgotten to car- ry the slip with him on the trip dur ing which he was arrested, The judge fined Johnson 8 and told him to keep the license with him when he drove an automobile.
 Six cases of ovcrloads came before the court, all defendants being Massachusetts drivers. Samuel Nor rson, arrested by State Policeman Roy Nelson on December 19 for having load of apples weighing 2,UOO pounds in excess of the mark ing on the truck, was defended by Attorney Albert Greenberg of New Britain. Morrison testified that he had wife and four children and that he was making the run from Worcester to New York City with A barrels of apples. Judge Griswold remtted fine of $25 upon payment of costs of s5.
 Cant i've 'Em Away"
 Julius Holmgren of Granby testi- fled that he couldn't give 'em away" referring to apples, around his home. He, likewise, was taking a load Of the forbidden fruit away to sell when he was caught by a state policeman with 4S barrels of apples, which constituted an overload of B. 800 pounds. Holmgren said he had
