ORGANIZE AGAINST CRIME AND
CRIMINALS

That was not exactly booster story car
ried in The Times-News yesterday, Wnere-
in. citizen of Florida and property owner
and summer resident of Henderson county,
Mr.. j. E. Roach, spoke plainly on the SUD-
iect of cleaning up lawlessnesS IN THIS coul-
ty; but this newspaper does not belong 10
the class that sticks its head IN the sana
while somebody yells, Gail is WE'LL! Inc
Tfmes-NeWs does not know of more logl-
cal or sensible course than that OF facing
the facts and righting conditions that are
wrong. Nothing is to be gained by ignoring
the facts, but much will be lost if our law
abiding citizens continue the course they
have been pursuing for years-that OF try
ing to make believe that lawless conditions
do not concern them-taking the line OF
least resistance and closing their eyes TO
stark realities of the ugliest sort.
The gentleman from Florida only en-
phasized what this newspaper has been
trying for several years to get across to
our good citizens-the fact that there is a
criminal class in the county that is grow
ing in numbers and in disregard for the
law and that, more and more, will be a
detriment to business and to the growth OF
this section in a business way if it is al
lowed to continue breaking the laws with
iniIpunity
There was nothing new in what the
Florida man said. This newspaper and ali
citizens of the county are familiar with
conditions and we all know that his state
ment was true. The weakness OF our posi-
tion heretofore has been that indifference
to law enforcement which Judge OgEesby
labels Public Enemy No. l.
What are we going to do about it?
AS this newspaper views the. matter, all
good citizens of Henderson county must
awake from their stupor and must insist
not only that the law enforcement officers
and the courts do their duty, but they must
line up squarely back of the officers and
the courts to aid them and to see that the
laws are made effective.
Some time ago The Times-News suggest
ed the organization of a countrywide law
and order league. We still believe that a
movement of this character will be neces-
sary to rid Henderson county of the stigma
of being one of the least law-observing
counties in North Carolina. We believe the
law enforcement officers of Hendersonville
and Henderson county can be counted on
to cooperate with any effort for improved
conditions; and that the officers, courts
and citizens working together, can practi-
cally eliminate crime and make the county
safe for the lives and property of good
citizens

WASHINGTON. Investigating
w senator's will discover at least
one thing to cheer about when they
scrutinize NRA.
Thousands Of chiselers are being
scared who never were scared De-
fore. NRA has been making a big
stab at enforcement, without say
ing ANYTHING about it, because 1t
boned to be able to brag after a
record was achieved, rather than
beforehand.
Almost from the beginning, the
most common complaint against
MIRA has been its failure in code
enforcement, especially on the wage
and hour provisions. The COM
plaipt came not so much from labor
as from thousands Of business men
operating in the secondary cor.
porate strata of concerns worth
$4,000, 1000 or less.
General Johnson's old NRA asso'
eiates think his failure to enforce
had more than anything else to do
with his enforced retirement. Lit
tie business"-not big business
became bitter against him.
It was hard to observe code labor
provisions and still compete with
code violators. fAa
IN one recent week about 500
= NRA cases. mostly involving
labor, were. thrown into the courts
Of New York state alone. That re
suited from the policy Of Sol A
Rosenblatt, the rather dynamic new
MIRA compliance director.
Rosepblatt will have an impress
sive lineup of similar figures t
show to, Congress.
The numbcr of wage restitution!
from code violators han increase

PURSUED BY MAN HUNTERS
BLUE EAGLE
 VIOLATIONS
 THROWN OUT
President Dismisses 4 l Cases, Last Vestiges of
 Dead NRA's Laws

WASHINGTON. June 3.-Appar- ently throwing off the last vestiges of restraint imposed by NRA's now dead wage hour and fair trade practice provisions, President Roos- evelt last Saturday dismissed All court cases involving violations of the Blue Eagle rules.
 This wholesale action was cou- pied with the announcement that other legal actions contemplated would not be initiated. Hints were also dropped in high quarters the President would propose stop-gap NRA legislation if any permanent plan is ready for submission.
 Congressional leaders lacked any inkling of any legislation that is now ready.
 The President cruised on Ches- apeake Bay aboard the yacht Se- quoia over the weekend while the Capital pondered, without answer, the course the Administration will take. The most uniform specula- tion by observers is that further sounding of the Nations reaction to the overthrow of MIRA will pre- cede any definite action.

Fight to Center on Cues ton of Fe deral Power

WASHINGTON, June 3.-While the capital awaited Preside n t Roosevelt's next move on NRA there were indications that the question of Federal power over major economic and social ques- tions would be the leading issue of the 1886 campaign.
 The fight over the idea of changing the Constitution was sharpened when Senator William E. Borah declared that the Com stitution now gives the Government enough power to cope with the emergency. In effect he dared the Roosevelt Administration to seek an amendment.
 Norris on the other hand favored an amendment depriving the courts of all power to hold any law un- constitutional although he express ed the belief nothing would be done by this congress by an amendment.
 This is the only civilized coun- try in the world in which a law passed by parliament and ap- proved by the executive can be overruled by the Supreme Court, Norris said. "It illustrates we are a government by injunction

PARENTS LAVISH.
 ATTENTION UPON. LITTLE GEORGE.
Statem ent Is Issued by Weyerhaeuser Family
 as Man Hunt Starts

TACOMA, Wash, Jus1e 3.-(Copy- right by Associated Press, 1935) Y Manhunters, from which no quar- ter may be expected. last Saturday night spread an ever widening net over the Pacific Northwest. The moment that it was announced that youthful George Weyerhaeuser had been freed from the grasp of the kidnapers whose coffers bulged with $200,000 ransom, the grim ar my of Federal, State and local au- thorities took up the chase for the abductors.
 The nine-year-ol boy, safe in his home, was lavished attention by his hysterical parents as the snatchers of the curly haired boy were being hunted down.
 Family Statement The members of the family issued Ia statement late Saturday reveal ing the ransom demands were met through the assistance of friends" !" No word was revealed when con- tact was made which resulted in freedom of little George in the lonely wooded area near Isaquah, just before dawn Saturday.
 The name of the Karpis gang, kidnapers of Edward G. Bremner, who was released after $200,000 was paid as ransom, was brought into the case.
 Reports Pour In
 Various reports that the Karpis gangsmen had been seen in parts of the Pacific Northwest, began to pour into the authorities here. One rumor was that George Powell, ac- cused of complicity in the 1883 kid- nap plot against Seattle man, missing from his usual haunts in Everett, might be in the custody of the Federal agents for question ing.
 George sleeps SOunuly
 While the law forces secured the countryside for his captors, little George slept Saturday night in his own little bed in his home while his hysterical parents hovered near by.
 The family statement issued late last Saturday afternoon, at a press conference, and through the De- partment of Justice agents, said:
 No Further Statements !. m response to many queries, we wish to state that the ransom de- manded was finally met through assistance of friends. George is

SPEEDING TAN SEDAN CAUSES
 EXTRA ALARM
Weyerhaeuser Kidn apers Were Believed Seen in
 Oregon s Wheatland

PENDLETON, Oregon, June 3.-A sedan, speeding nearly 100 miles an hour, last Saturday night turned the search for the Weyerhaeuser kidnapers to Northeastern Oregon's wheatland where William Edwards The Fox" Hickman, who kidnapped and butchered little Miriam Parker, of Los Angeles, was tracked to earth in 1927.
 Roars Past Officers
 The sedan, late Saturday, roared past two deputy sheriffs cruising eastward along the Umatilla- Wallu- lla Highway, less than 35 miles from where former Sheriff Tom Gurdane and his deputy Buck Leul- Ian captured "The Fox"
 The two deputies spurred their car to 91 miles an hour but the tan sedan was travelling so fast they did not even see what make the car was or the type of license car ried.
 Roads Guarded
 The roads in the district were already guarded but more guards were rushed to all strategic points.
 Meanwhile from Southeastern Washington came reports that the Walla Walla County Sheriff had thrown out guards in the hopes of intercepting the car if it headed north.
 Have Tan Sedan
 One of the cars reported used by the kidnapers is tan sedan.
 Hickman earned the name of The Fox" because he was clever enough to drive out of California, through Oregon and Washington, over coast roads but met his mast CTS when he turned into the wheat land country. Hickman was re- turned to Los Angeles where he was convicted and hanged.
