GOLD CLAUSE
RULING NEAR
Administration Defenders
Declare Whole Recovery
Program at Stake

WASHINGTON, Jan. IL. (UP).
Argument of the gold cases
which, administration defenders
contend, carry an implied threat
to the entire new deal recovery
program, reached its final stage
yesterday with members of the
bench actively questioning the
lawyers for the government.
The courts questions conferred
on the contention that paying off
gold obligations dollar for dollar
at a time when gold has been de-
valued is a taking of private
property for a public use without
lust compensation.
Should the court hold with this
claim it would mean that every
81 called for in a gold clause OBJ
legation would have to be met
with S1.65 in present-day cur
rency. 1t would add to the pub
lie debt of the nation S69,000,-
100000 based on the assumption
that the present debt is $780,
900, 100000.
Question: were fired at the
government lawyers from all sides
of the bench. In addition to the
recognized members of the So
called conservative group, Chief
Justice Charles Evans Hughes
and Justice Harlan Fiske Stone
were active in the interrogation.
Angus MacLean, special gov
eminent counsel in the present
cases, was particularly the target
for questioning. At the close Of
the session he was defending the
right of the government to pay
in any currency the fourth a Ia
per cent liberty bonds called last
spring. The power to do this has
been challenged by John M. Per-
ry, a bondholder, who argued his
own case inthe court.
Perry held that this obligation
of the government to meet these
bonds in gold was greater than
the obligation of private debtors
to pay theirs in gold. MacLean
took a contrary view.
"Where do you find any au-
thority in the constitution for the
government, which has agreed in
time of war to pay these bonds
in gold by legislation to alter the

their endeavor to bring larger
developments, and greater wealth

farmers OF Henderson and Tran

letter addressed to the North
Carolina representative of the
IVA. copies of which were given
to each department of the govern
ment represente% by the delega-
ton which rece tly visited Hen
derson and Pennsylvania counr
ties.
Dear Sir:
'In keeping with your sugges-
ton that our committee of local
citizens interested in the develop
ment of Henderson county submit
a plan of proposed developments,
we are herewith offering the fol
lowing suggestions:
First, Make an agricultural
survey of the French Broad val
ley and its principal tributaries
with the view to determining our
agricultural possibilities and the
advantages that would result
from better drainage and flood
control.
Second, Analyze the practic-
ability of blasting and moving
Buck Shoals on the French Broad
River with the view to lowering
the stream bed of the river and
removing numerous logs and
drifts of fallen timber which have
clogged the streams, and lower
ing the stream beds of the river
and tributaries and Strengthening
the stream channels where neces-
sary to increase the flow.
'Third, Make a survey with
the view to determining the in
creased population that could be
/ placed to advantage on the
French Broad river and its tri-
butaries, as a result of drainage,
prevention of soil erosion and
other agricultural improvements,
this increased population in val
ley to come from Henderson
county sub-marginal lands.
Fourth. Continue in the area
testing of fertilizers made by the
Tennessee Valley authorities and
demonstrate the value of the
same, and show the practicable.
ity of prevention of soil erosion
through demonstrations of land
terracing.
Fifth, Study the ACCESSIBILITY
of restoring the Blue Ridge Lime
plant, the brick and ceramic in,

tabliShing of other small indus,
tries as means of providing EN-,
ployment for people who have fol-
years depended on these indus,
tries, also for providing materials
needed in the area.

normally speak as Chinese or Hin
dustani would be.
In fact, a recent report of the
Free State Department of Educa-
tion revealed the fact that while
Irish is being fostered in the
schools of this country, it is rap
idly dying out as the home tongue
of those areas of the Emerald Isle
whose inhabitants are officially la
beled as disappearing. :.
The result of the "hothouse
methods now being adopted, ac-
cording to the critics, is that irish
children acquire book knowledge
of Gaelic, which is necessary Tor

CAN SASS" BACK
The complaint has also been
heard that Irish youngsters are
able to "talk back" to their par
ents in Irish, a language when
many of their leaders cannot un-
derstand, with disastrous results
to faulty discipline. -.
Among the methods now being
adopted to make Gaelic speakers
out of Irish children is the intro
duction of Gaelic games in schools
in place of such Foreign importa,
tions" as rugby, soccer and eric
ket. Irish is the language spoken
at these games. Another scheme
tried out last summer was to SEND
some thousands of children for a
two weeks vacation in the Gael
tacht, the officially Irish-speaklng
section of the country. go

These measures to insure that

recently there were not enough
teachers who could speak Irish
themselves. More than one-third
of the $4,000 school teachers in
Southern Ireland are now certified

and all those who have not yet
acquired a working knowledge of
Gaelic are being compelled, what
ever their age, to attend special
language courses during vacations.
The Church of Ireland has just
established a preparatory college
for teachers, where nothing but
Gaelic will be heard.

There are not a few lrlshmen

Seventh, In view of the coop
Grafton to be expected from Varl-
Gus departments of the govern
ment Henderson county and the
citizens in the drainage area
would gladly cooperate and could
be expected to supplement the
Government in employing a coun-
ty farm agent, a home demon
stration agent, and furnishing a
reasonable amount of machinery
necessary to executing a program
of land Improvement such as ter
racing, 6itching of small streams,
etc.
"A large work program neces-
sarily would have to be inaugu-
rated. and the work department
of the emergency relief admins

such as one of its major work
projects in Henderson county. 1t
is possible that the nearby CCC
camp could furnish considerable
labor in connection with these
Improvements.
"Our committee has been ad-
vised that by removing Buck
Shoals the stream bed at that
point could be lowered about five
feet. Your attention is called to
the fact that a general drainage
program would be necessary in
order to reclaim thousands OF
acres of land now of little value
because of frequent overflow,
Our committee believes this could
be done by clearing the river
banks, reno ing from the streams
the logs, trees, and other debris,
land that the stream beds could
be lowered for about fifty miles
so as to facilitate the flow of the
streams and reduce to a minimum

conditions. There is fall of
about so feet from Buck Shoals
to the Pennsylvania county line
and proper drainage would not
only be of untold value to Hen
derson county farms, but to thou
sands of acres within Transyl'
vania county.
''It is estimated that approx
mately 10000 acres of highly
fertile land would be drained by
such a project, which would en-
brace the following tributaries,

tuated and thereby convert Hen
