New Deal Spokesman Denies Any
Desire On Part OF Roosevelt 10
Set Aside The Rights OF States
Administration Man Heard
In Sharp Address by
Texas Bar
By ARTHUR F. DEGREVE
Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July 5. (UP).
The New Deal sought last night
to assure the nation that PreSi-
dent Roosevelt has no desire to
scrap states rights and thus
brought into the open an issue
which many Republicans feel will
be made rallying cry in the 1886
political campaign.
The administrations position
was outlined by Karl A. Crowley,
solicitor of the post office depart
ment, in a sharply-worded address
before the Texas bar association
in Houston, Texas.
"No statement made by Presi-
dent Roosevelt can by any stretch
of the imagination be construed
to mean that he advocates a
change in our Democratic form Of
government" Crowley said.
cat most, the recent utterances
of President Roosevelt can only
be construed to mean that ne be-
Iieved that the crisis brought on
by the economic depression Justi-
fled extraordinary powers for a
temporary period, and, that the
exercise of the power provided by
the National Industry Recovery
Act was in his opinion authorized
by the commerce clause of the
constitution,
ENTHUSIASTICALLY he believes
that the constitution is a living,
vital moving thing; that it should
not be so narrowly construed as
TO prevent congress from exercis-
ing full power to enact legislation
within the limitations prescribed
bv the constitution, to promote
the public welfare and the peace
and happiness of all the people
guaranteed to them by the constl-
tuition itself" m
He charged that there is a de
liberate dishonest design by his
vicious political enemies n d
predatory interests to convince
our people that the president
plans to set up dictatorship"
The administration chose to

STATE DEPARTMENT
MAKES NO COMMENT

WASHINGTON, July 5. (UP).
Indications that the state depart
ment had received a formal re-
quest from Abyssinia to intervene
in the Italian controversy under
the Kellogg GRAND pact came
from officials last night as they
flatly refused comment. "A,
Earlier in the day the depare-
ment said the request had not been
received and therefore declined
to make this governments po-
sition known. Later, however, Of
ficials limited their response to
inquiries to mo comment"
The Kellog"-Briand pact, to
which more than so nations are
sifnatory, renounces war as an in
strument of national policy. 1t
contains no provisions for re-
course against any nation that VIC
lates it, other than the weight of
world opinion.
Experts here say the Kellogg
BRAND pact suffered bad blow
when Japan occupied Manchuria.
In view of the developments at
that time, the American govern
ment is watching the Italian-Aby-
ssinian controversy with interest.
1t is believed the American view
that world peace should be the
fundamental aim of stacescraft is
the controlling factor in the ltal-
ian situation.
Premier Mussolini, enjoying
high prestige in this country
through a decade, probably will
add to his laurels if his policy
renders possible an amicable adj
iustment of the trouble in Africa
Failing a settlement, Emperor
Halle Selassie probably will fall
heir to the traditional American
sympathy for the weak party IN
an international "row," but the
United States government is like
w to maintain a discreet and eau
tious attitude.

Constable Corn Offers Re.
ward for Facts If Van
dals Convicted

The only telephone line con-
Meeting the Clear Creek section
with Hendersonyille is constantly
being damaged by persons who
throw rocks and break the insu-
lators, Constable Zeb Corn stat
ed this morning.
Mr.. Corn said that he personally

a distance of two miles from the

on the Clear Creek road. 1t con-
meets with the Chimney Rock road
line about three miles from Hen
Jacksonville.
Mr.. Corn said that he built the
line for his personal use and for
the use of his neighbors after
there had been a serious illness In
his family and he saw the urgent
need for a telephone line con-
Meeting this section with Hender-

During the eight year period,
he said he had paid all Of the ex-
penses of upkeep of the line and
that scarcely month passed that
it was not necessary to do repair
work on the line. W.
He said that he thought it pos
sible that children were largely
responsible for the damage by
throwing rocks at the insulators
and he Is seeking the cooperation
of the parents in keeping the line
intact in order that it may serve
the entire community.
Mr.. Corn also stated that he
would pay a reward of $40 to any

Buncombe Physicians De-
plore Rumors as to IN
fantile Paralysis

ASHEVILLE, N. c., July g.
The Buncombe County Medical
Society, after a thorough study of
the infantile paralysis situation in
North Carolina, yesterday made
public a statement of its findings.
This statement declares "there is
no epidemic of infantile paralysis
in Western North Carolina, and
that individuals contemplating
coming to this region need have
no greater fear of the disease than
thev would have at any other time
or at any other place.
The full statement follows:
"At a regular meeting of the
Buncombe County Medical Society
on the evening of Monday, July
1, 1885, the topic was Infantile
Paralysis, with particular reter-
ence to the present situation IN
this state. There was a very large
attendance, thus well showing the
interest of the physicians IN the
matter under consideration.
1.-THE modes of TRANSMISSION,
symptoms, prevention and treat,
ment of the disease were outlined
bv men well qualified to do SO
and a free discussion followed,
tending mainly toward a frank
and truthful estimate of the prev
alence of infantile paralysis IN
Western North Carolina. 1t was
felt that the people of Asheville
and the people of the South as a
whole were entitled to the facts
at this time, and committee was
appointed to set forth these facts
'Infantile paralysis has been
prevalent in the east central sec
ton of North Carolina, but both
the coastal area and the noun

RUTHERFORDTON, July

RUTHERFORDTON, July g.
The encroachment of the national
administration upon states rights
was denounced here yesterday in
a Fourth Of July address by Cole
l.. Blease, twice governor of South
Carolina and former United States
senator, who declared that he had
retired from politics but would re-
enter public affairs to fight for
states rights if the occasion de-
manded.
The former senator attacked the
Wagner labor bill as a curse to
the south and upbraided the ad-
ministration for it's failure to pay
the soldiers bonus.
Declaring that "there are too
many towards in congress-, he
said that every lawyer in congress
knew that NRA was unconstitu-
tional. The democratic party, ne
said, was not to be blamed for
the drift from constitutional gov
eminent, but that some of the
members of congress were to
blame and he urged that they be
kicked out.
