Appeals in New Orleans and was that
the sale of cheap electric power by the
Tennessee Valley authority was consti-
tutional.
Harold Ickes, who is PWA admins
traitor, said the slum clearance work
would be carried on, though necessarily
in modified form. But Chester Davis,
AAA administrator, openly admitted
that "the end of the processing taxes
would mean the end Of the Agricultural
Adjustment administration in all it's
important aspects" He would not con-
TESS that he believed for a minute the
Supreme court would confirm the rul-
ing of the court at Boston. He as
serted he had expected that decision
to be adverse, saying: "That section
around Boston is hotbed of resistance
to the processing taxes. Why, it's
right up there among all those cotton
manufacturers" This was most ex-
traordinary comment from high gov
eminent official, but the Appeals court
in Boston has not yet cited Davis for
contempt.
Most well informed and unbiased
persons have never believed the proc
essing taxes would stand up under
court test. The Guffey coal bill has
some similar features so that those
who debate it should read these para
graphs in the Boston decision:
"The power of congress to regulate
interstate commerce does not authorize
it to do so by taxing products either
of agriculture or industry before they
enter interstate commerce, or other
wise to control their production mere
ly because their production may in
directly affect interstate commerce.
"The issue is not, as the government
contended, whether congress can ap-
propriate funds for any purpose
deemed by congress in furtherance Of
the general welfare but whether con-
gress has any power to control or reg
ulate matters left to the state and lay
| a special tax for that purpose"
The New Orleans opinion on the
IVA affecting electric utility holders,
consumers and prospective consumers,
reversed finding by Judge w. L.
Grubb of the northern District court Of
| Alabama.
Judge Grub enjoined IL Alabama
municipalities from using federal funds
to acquire electric power plants, con-
tending that "TVA was engaged in IL
legal competition with the Alabama
| Power company"
The Circuit court, conceding that the

power supply for manufacture of mu-
nitions in war time. asserted it was
within the province of congress to
adopt any reasonable means" to dis
pose OF surplus power not needed in

GEORGE, eX-king of Greece, was
~ planning sudden hop to Athens
to resume the throne. Emissaries
from Greece were received in the ex-
elusive London hotel where the former
monarch resides; big airplane was
kept standing in readiness at Croydon,
and at another airport a second plane
was prepared to carry Georges serv-
ants. But the news hounds found it
out and gave it to the public, whereat
George was exceedingly wroth and his
contemplated coup was postponed. His
secretary asked newspapers and news
agencies to refrain from publishing
anything about his movements and
reporters were not allowed to enter
the hotel.
1t was said in London that the ex-
king thinks it undignified to appear
anxious to get back on the throne,
wishing the Greek people to believe
he would return only after deep con-
sideration and with the assurance that
they want him for the country's sake.
Besides that, there are still many anti
royalists there who might concejvsbly
think it their duty to bump him of if
he should reappear there.

The argument started when Schan

Robinson protested. He asserted
"when one whose moral obliQuities

for some one to object" He added

Roosevelt was initiating Mussolini. and
that Ben Cohen, an administration aid

to harvest their crops, found they
couldn't get hands to do the work.
The idle men ordinarily counted on
for this were on the relief rolls and
declined offers of farm labor for two
reasons: The wages paid by the farm
ers were less than the sums received
from the relief organization or for
government works, and If the men once
went off the dole they feared they
would have trouble getting back there
when the harvest was over. The sit
uation was desperate and emergency
relief commissions were urged to take
action. This they did in the states af-
fected and it was announced the ire
volt" was under control.
The Illinois commission stopped all
relief works in the rural areas until
after harvest. In Kansas persons re-
fusing any temporary employment were
removed from the relief rolls. In Ne
braska &c counties were cut off from
federal relief allotments and in Is 9TH
ers the allotments were cut in half.
In nearly score of Iowa counties
officials denied relief and able-bodied
men on relief rolls were admonished
to accept employment in the harvest
fields.
Relief workers in Redwood county,
Minnesota, shut down works projects
and officials in many other counties
indicated they would follow the exam
pie.
In North Dakota all but specialized
projects were halted and the state adj
ministrator announced that as soon as
the harvest was over the new works
progress administration would take
care of unemployables.
