what is likely 10 happen afterwasd-
Il Is asking whether such a de-
velopment would be favorable or
unfavorable 70 the markets and to
business.
Those who have given IL the
greatest amount Of study are fair
Is well agreed that an interna-
tional currency price war would be
certain TO follow such a develop
ment. They base this belief large
u on the fact that lack Of trade
rather than lack Of gold will con-
stitute the greatest motivating force
in the action. In order 10 place their
goods in foreign markets each ma
ton will cut prices by lowering the
value Of their currency.
THE United States has big cur
Il rency war chest in its so-called
equalization fund. SO has England.
France could easily create one, as
could most Of the other more power
ful countries. If il comes to a free
for-au highland there is sound
reasoning behind the belief that 1t
Wilt should be an excellent
party. Each nation has become ma
enthusiastically minded, and each
would be obliged to backtrack con-
siderably before a compromise could
be reached.
But IL IS maintained by many
that this war" can not be escaped.
Sterilization OF currencies, IL IS said,
can not be brought about until the
entire issue has been brought into
the open and threshed out. And a
sound economic recovery, 1t is
argued. can not take place until cur
rencv sterilization has been effected.
While the fight is on, however, in
ternational trade is likely to suffer.
Importers and exporters would be
hampered if not actually prevented
from doing business through their
inability to determine from one day
10 the next what the various cur
rencies would be worth in relation
to one another. On each tranSac-
ton they would stand TO make
either a big profit or to take big
loss due to fluctuations in currency
values. The risks probably would
be too great for many Of them to
take the chances. Moreover, bank
ers would be unlikely to extend
credit under such trade conditions.
INTERNAL trade, on the other
i hand. might be stimulated. To
the extent that curTencies were de-
preciated in value a struggle OF that
sort would be inflationary. That
probably would cause people to seek
safety Of capital in the ownership
Of commodities or other tangible
property. The extent Of the infla-
tionary effects would depend, Of
course. on how vigorously each ma
ton pursued its attack and on how
astute each one proved TO be in
that sort Of controversy.
Authorities in the financial dis
trict say that stock and bonds would
be likely to break rather sharply on
news of such a development and
then recover later on if and when it
became apparent that ultimate sta
bilization would result or if infla-
ton got under way.

GRAVES SALE
UNDERPR0BE

Investigation into the sale Of
cemetery lots, represented by the
sellers as inves tments, was
launched today by Louis Roths-
child, director of the Better Busi-
ness Bureau.
Several promoters of cemetery
lot investments are planning to
operate in Washington, Mr.. Roths-
child said. He explained that in
many cities promoters have made
racket out of such lots, and that
it has merely been an adaptation
of real estate project.
The instigators of such a buSi.
ness usually buy large tract Of
land and get large returns
through dividing the acreage into
burial plots.
The purpose of the investiga.
ton, Mr.. Rothschild said, is to
determine whether the cemetery
lots could be regarded as an in
vestment; whether a shortage of
cemetery lots exists and whether
a resale market exists.

carpenters in an effort to iron
out difficulties which resulted in
a general carpenters strike here.
Commissioner Allen conferred
for an hour behind closed doors
with a committee of the Master
Builders Association and, i'm
mediately after that conference,
began an effort to get in touch
with representatives of the work
men.
The Commissioner, who yester-
day volunteered his services as

Treasury Investigating AS
Morgenthau Gusts 2 More
Officials in Detroit

Charges that certain employees
of the Internal Revenue Bureau
in Philadelphia have been asked
to make political contributions
were under investigation by the
Treasury and Civil Service COM
mission today.
Secretary Morgenthau said that
this situation had been under
study for some time. No details
were disclosed.
Follows Detroit Scandal
The investigation follows the
resignation of Collector of Inter.
nal Revenue Horatio j. Abbott, of
Detroit, and the suspension of
two agents in his office as re-
suit of charges of solicitation of
campaign funds.
Those suspended after Mr.. Alb.
bolts resignation are John j.
Tighe, deputy internal revenue
collector. and George w. Woods,
an appointee of Mr.. Abbott who
recently has served as the De-
troit representative of the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce.
Indications that criminal prose
cution may be directed against all
three officials appeared when
Secretary Morgenthau turned over
to the Department of Justice
volumninous evidence uncovered
in a Treasury probe.
Grilled by Mvrgenthau
The suspensions came after
Secretary Morgenthau had per-

That will be the rule for emer.

The large army of "chislers'
who have been getting relief
funds without deserving this pub
lie aid, ranging from $3.50 to
5000 individuals and families, &C
cording to secret survey made
by the Federal Emergency Re
lief organization, will be subjected
to close scrutiny. The deserving
cases will be continued; the others
will be thrown out.
Commissioner George E. Allen
indoSeS the views of the new vel
fare director. He said:
81 think the District of COlum-
bia ought to know as much about
every single charity case it sup
ports as the average good sales
man knows about each item Of
his goods. We ought to be able
to know the details of the story
Of every man, woman and child
we are supporting with public
funds. That means we need more
and more help in the public well
fare and relief work; we need to
bring our investigating staff up
to the maximum, SO that each

cases to handle as he or she can
manage WELL"
Elwood Street plans to take over

and House conferees were sched-

Unable to reach a satisfactory
agreement yesterday on the lump

raised from $4,365, 900, as passed
by the House. to $5,7O0,000, as
recommended by the budget, the
conferees apparently have de-
cided to go through the remain

TO settling as many of them as
possible and then return to the
lump sum item and any others
which are seriously controversial,
When the conference session

BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
Clarence Darrow, most of
whose IT years have been spent
in fighting for labor, for the
little fellow and for the under
dog generally, found himself in
the position today of being in dis
agreement with almost everyone
concerning the NRA.

anceS against the NRA, Joined

Labor Attack a Surprise
The Darrow report found that
NRA was fostering monopolistic
practices on the part of business,
and was squeezing the little fel'
low to the point of extermina.
ton. A supplemental report
recommended Specialization of in
dustry as the remedy.
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, Re
covery Administrator, and Donald
Richberg, chief counsel, countered
with blistering attacks on the
Darrow report. So did business
representatives in the NRA.
Labor came along today to add
its voice to the general chorus OF
condemnation. In view of Oar
rows long championship of labor,
his many court battles in labor's
behalf, the resolutions unani'
mously adopted by the NRA Labor
Advisory Board came somewhat
as a surprise.
On the Labor Advisory Board
are such notable labor leaders as
William Green, president of the
American Federation Of Labor,
and John L. Lewis, president OF
the United Mine Workers OF
America.
Resolution Is Scathing
The labor board reported that
the Darrow board had arrived at
its conclusions without consulting
representatives of organized labor
and without considering the mil
lions of organized workers IN
codified industries. The labor
board resolution said:
obviously, the DarrOw board
has secured its information re-
garding specific codes from the
rag-tag and bOb-tail elements
Of industry.

sweatshop employer and bust
ness interests which have lost
special privileges found the
latch-String out and a warm
welcome awaiting them before
the National Review Board.
Representatives of organized
labor were not invited to the
DarrOw feast, and approved
codes of fair competition were
savageIy attacked without any
member of the DarrOw board
stopping to inquire from any
authoritative source the effect
of such attacks upon the eco
nOmic welI-being Of the nations
wage earnerS."
The Darrow board, labor
charged, has sought to serve two
masters, one the small business
man who wants higher prices,
and the consumer who wants
lower prices. It commented:
"The board should decide
which of these groups it elects
to serve. Certainly it cannot
ride horses going in opposite
directions"
Only in Congress has the Dar-
row report found any appreciable
support.

merely sneered at such rash bold
ness and lit onto the Killers like a
falling skyscraper and scored
four points before thu contest was
two frames old. But a few min
utes later the Killers got going
and the Islanders went on the de-
Tense. But the Hillera were not to
be stopped and continued their
terrible assault until the battle
was won by a II to 5 decision.
In the words Of baseball, the Hill
ers smacked the horsahide all over
the park, getting three triples and
three doubles in their collection
of hits. Brock. Sheriff. and V.
Drake got the threc-baggers.
Drake also got q two-bagger and
a single while Brock annexed two
singles to his extra base clout.

Case Cuttings
By E. H. CASE

Big J. Jackson, East Flat Rocks
speedball artist, is in condition
now and that means that East
Flat Rock is going to be mighty
hard to beat in future games.
Jackson's speeder is the fastest
thing in the league, including Ed
Wards base running.
And, speaking of speed, V.
Drake, Valley Hill outfielder,
doesn't let any grass grow under
his feet while circling the sacks.
He has stolen five bases in three
games this year. He stole third
against Green River Saturday
with the mighty Bruce Drake
catching for the Islanders.
A tip to you pitchers-A
Vaughn, Green River outer gard
ener, is going to hit that ball.
No use to try to strike him out.
He is batting over 600 so far.
Saluda pltchlng SCaII appears
to be the best in the league. And
their moundsmen, Ward, Thomp-
son and Pace. are all youngsters.
Q. Brock. manager of the Val
ley Hill Killers, is showing his
men how to hit the old horse
hide. He has a 40 batting aver
age. His swats include two
homers, two triples and two
Dagger.
T. LYDIA, Green River outfield-
err, is one of the most improved
ball PLAYERS in the league. His
outfieiding is sensational and he
is hitting at a terrific clip.
Why not pick an all-star team
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1934-05-22

from the county league and try
a four or five-day tour of other
towns a little later? If the thing
were advertised and handled right
I believe that expenses could at
least be realized and everybody
would enjoy the trip. One might
schedule games with Landrum,
Inman, Spartanburg, Greenville,
etc, for successive days. We owe
the Watauga All-Stars at Boone
a heating. Why not go give it
to 'em and plav Morganton and
other towns while over there?
1t begins to look like Zeke
Bonura of the Chicago White SoX
might be the next home run
champion.
Ermando Horatius Cascarindo
is picking Primo Camera to beat
Baer in their June scrap. That
means that Baer will probably be
the next champ.
And there is the big tourna-
ment COMING off at the golf and
Country club this week. Ermando
says that DR.. Bennett is going to
have to be mighty good to win
the cup this time. DR.. Bracket,
Sample. Hoover. Jones and 9TH
ers have been going like a hay

Saluda and East Flat Rock will
play a real game at Flat Rock
Saturday. The Valley Hill Hill
ers will play Balfour at Balfour.
Fletcher will voyage down to
Green River and Mills River will
go to Fruiland. These games
should all be worth seeing.
