HERE'S WHY OF
NRA IN SIMPLE
Q-AND-AF FORM
ABC's of Supreme Court
Decision Tell You lust
What's What.

By UHffed Presf
WASHINGTON. May 3O-The
ABC's OF the Supreme Courts de-
cision on MIRA and what 1t means:
Q-What did the Supreme Court
do 70 NRA? At decided unani-
nously that entire vast structure Of
557 codes and 20l supplemental
codes covering some 5000 900 estab-
lishments and 22.OOO.OOO workers, Is
invalid
O-What becomes OF these codes
now 40 all practical purposes
they are dead.
Q-Does that mean that an en-
pIover henceforth can disregard all
the provisions Of the codes? Can a
cotton manufacturer. for instance,
forthwith employ child labor. which
the code fOrbade2 A-SO far as any
action against him by the Federal
government is concerned. he IS free
20 do so II he desires. The Admin
istratiOn appeals to employers and
workers to continue TO live up TO
the spirit Of the codes voluntarily
until the future Of NRA can be
determined
O-Are agreements which in some
cases have been made in cOnnec-
ton with codes also null and void?
A-The NRA holds that contraCtual
arrangements, to which the gov
eminent was not a party. remain
valid. An example is the contract
between the United Mine Workers
and bituminOus coal operators.
which was made part Of the btu
minous code. but which also exists
as a separate contract.
All Null and Void
Q-Are even the minimum wage
and maximum hours provisions Of
the codes invalid? A-They are
all null and void. There no longer
is any Federal authority saying how
many hours a man may work or
how much he must be paid.
Q-HOw about famous section IA
which guaranteed labor the right
to organize and bargain collective
ly2 A-That apparently is mop
eTatlve, too, at least Tor the time
being. II had been made effective
only as it was incorporated in
codes. and the codes all are dead
O-Why did the Supreme Court
hold the codes invalid? A-The
courts broadest finding was that
Congress had exceeded its conSti
tutiOnal powers when it delegated
to President Roosevelt the power to
approve codes by fair competition
and give them the force of law.
No Standards Set Up
Q-Why was this unconstitution-
Al? A-The Constitution provides
that law-making power shall be
vested in Congress. To a limited de-
gree. power can be delegated to the
President to carry out the wishes
Of Con SreSs. In NRA. Chief Jus
tice Hughes said. Congress had set
up no standards to guide the Presi-

At NAZ| RALLY

NUREMBERG, Germany, May
10 UN.SO .-Anti-Jewish senti-
ment in Nuremberg reached its
peak today with convocation Of
q so-called "Anti-JeWish Interna-
tional Congress-" by julius Strei-
cher, editor of the violently anti
Semetic newspaper Der Stuermer.
Guest of honor was Jean Bois-
sci, a French Nazi athizer,
who joined Streicher in a slashing
attack upon Jewry.
Streicher scored the Jews as
"our common enemies who know
no fatherland and have made
gold their only god"
Introducing Boissel, Streicher
asked him to take back to France
the message that Germany wants
no war and desires only peace"
Boissel said he had come to Ger
many Ito unmask our arch-enemy
-Pan-Judea." He said:
''Instead of fighting each
other, our combined armies
should have fought the Jews as
our common enemies. COmmun-
ism wants to turn the world into
prison with Jews as wardens."
Boissel attacked the Versailles
Treaty and pleaded for Franco
German understanding.

SMYRNA GUN CLUBS NEW YEAR
SHOOT A REAL HOLIDAY EVENT

Some real sport and goodfellow-
ship was enjoyed Tuesday after
noon by members of the Smyrna
Gum Club and their friends on the
occasion of their New Years Day
shoot. The high wind put a real
handicap on the experts and no
vices alike, causing the targets to
dive and twist with all kinds of
fancy capers. But they still had
quite a time dogging the lead and
some fair scores were turned in.
The winners were: E. S. Richards
of Harrington, Ernest Mattiford,
James Davidson, George Robinson,
Herbert Radish, all Of Smyrna; J..
c. Maris of FELTON,, and CARL Laf-
ferty of st. Georges, and the
trophys chickens. Mr.. H. B. Hen

FIRE WIPES OUT
TWO COTTAGES
Woodland Beach Threatened
Tuesday Night AS Three
Fire Companies Fight
FIREMEN ARE EFFICIENT

While a high wind was raging
Tuesday night, the first day of the
New Year, fire broke out at Wood
land Beach about eight o'clock,
burning two cottages and threat
ening the whole resort. The cot
tages of Earl Owens of Whining
ton, tenanted by Edgar McQuay,
was the first on fire and was quick
ly consumed. McQuay, who lived
there alone, had come to Smyrna.
How the fire occurred cannot be
determined. The whole house with
contents was reduced to ashes, the
loss being estimated at $4,000.
From there the flames leaped to
the cottage of Harry Haggerty of
Little Creek. This cottage, which
is furnished and occupied by the
Haggertys, is summer home
only and at this time of year is
unoccupied. The damage to this
property, which was almost COM
plete, is also put at $4,000. When
the fire was discovered an alarm
was sent into Smyrna, Clayton and
Cheswold. Smyrna firemen being
nearest, responded first. 1t was
soon found the chemical pump was
to no avail and the engines suction
pump was resorted to by placing
the suction hose in the lake. This
soon clogged up with moss and
weeds and no force could be main
tanned. Later they tried to oper-
ate it into the ditch and had bet
ter results. With the aid of Clay
ton and Cheswold, the fire was
kept confined. The unoccupied
furnished cottage of Arthur Phil
lips of Moore, Pa, which was next
in line, caught fire several times
but was extinguished. In fact, all
cottagers were kept in anxiety be-
cause of the blustery night and
feel thankful for the good work of
the firemen in saving the resort.

SNOW FALL ON
NEW YEAR EVE
But the Blanket of White Had
disappeared By the Early
Morning Hours
HOLIDAY IN YRN A

New Years Day was observed in
Smyrna as general holiday, most
all stores and business places be-
ing closed. The New Year was
ushered in with the usual frolic
groups and parties being more OF
less in vogue. A number attended
the dance in the State Armory in
Dover. Church bells tolled the OLD
year out and rang the New Year
IN and explosives were set off at
the -Four Corners" and all over
town. Watch Night" services
were held at Asbury M. E. Church
and the Presbyterian Church. Al
the latter church it was somewhat
of an innovation. Previous to the
service a social hour was spent in
the Sunday School room at which
a musical program was rendered
and refreshments served. The
Rev. ]. r. Galley, minister, con-
Quoted the watch night services.
Smyrna, which did not get a
white Christmas, so s1uch the joy
of young folks, had their hopes
raised that the New Years holiday
would afford them some shedding,
but alasl the snow which fell to
an inch late New Years Eve, dis
appeared by New Years morning
in copious shower, the rain con-
tinuing at intervals all night.
When the New Year was ushered
in, however, the ground was cover
ed with snow and it intensified the
holiday spirit among those who
sat up until one o'clock. More
family dinner gatherings were held
on New Years day. In the line of
sports a feature of the day was
the Smyrna Gun Club shoot men,
toned fuller on first page. Quite
a number motored to Dover to
witness the convening of the Leg
islature and the induction into Of
fee of the newly elect. In the
evening there were more social af-
fairs. The Strand Theatre, Smyr-
ma, as special, put ON Music In
the Air" with Gloria Swanson and
John Boles as the stars. An alarm
of fire New Years evening with
the wind blowing a gale and the
mercury in the thermometer TAX
ing a drop, caused some concern
when it was learned a fire had
broken out at Woodland Beach.
The fire was confined to two cot
tages.

ONE ARREST IS MADE

Charles Brown, age 35, of neal
Kenton, formerly resident OF
Philadelphia, is dead from a shot
gun wound over the heart, and w
Homer Hoffecker, Jr., age %, also
of near Kenton, is being held with
out bail at Dover as his slayer as
the result of a fight at the
home of Roy Cahall, at Ken
ton, shortly after one O'Clock
Monday morning. Following the
fatal shot, Hoffecker, who is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Hof-
fecker of Kenton, is alleged to
have left the scene, but was
captured on a farm near the
home of Alex Darrah, not far
away, by Sergeant Powell, and
Privates VanSant and Sullivan, of
the State highway police. Brown
and Hoffecker had stopped at the
home of the Cahalls late Sunday
night and are said to have had
some drinks. During their stay,
an argument arose between the
pair. Mrs. Cahall is said to have
ordered them out of the house if
they wanted to wrangle. Outside
of the house, the pair started to
fight and Brown was knocked
down. According to the police,
Hoffecker then went into the
house, followed by Mrs. Cahall,
protesting, and secured a shot gun.
In short while, Brown is said to
have re-entered and attempted to
take the gun from Hoffecker
when it went off. Brown fell
to the floor apparently dead, the
load of shot having penetrated
near his heart His assailant fed.
Mrs. Cahall called a physician for
the ambulance. However, when
the physician from Smyrna arrived
he pronounced Brown dead. Brown
had been living in the Kentop sec
tion for only a short time. So far
as the police could learn, there had
been no previous animosity be-
tween the two men until the argu-
ment arose while they were drink
ing. Due to the illness of the
coroner, no date has been set for
the inquest The police are still
investigating various angles Of the
