Important Case.
By United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-An in
soluble riddle in the face of intense
national interest, the Supreme
Court resumed deliberations today
with only one thing certain-it is
not ready 10 hand down its decision
in the gold cases.
That much, no more, was an
nounced late Saturday.
It's secret locked securely in the
minds of the nine men composing
the court, the tribunal has proved
in its delay that nothing is more
futile than attempting to predict
when or how it will act.
The best informed believe the
court will write its opinion with
great elaboration and read it some
Monday noon without any previous
fanfare.

several bucketfuls OF clear water

RUSSIA BUYS COTTON
Makes Heaviest Purchases of Ameri-
can Staple Since 1929

New York, June 5.-The Soviet
union, in the last two months has
made it's heaviest purchases of Amer
lean cotton since 1929, it was learned
today.
These purchases total approximate
ly $5,500,000. The orders were placed
by Amtorg, the Russian trading agen-
cy, in the New Orleans, Houston and
Memphis markets.
The cotton purchases gave further
evidence Of the Soviet's new policy of
avoiding terms if higher than the US
ual credit rates. All the cotton sales
were on a cash basis.

ROOSEVELT FAvORS HIGHER
INCOME AND GIFT TAXES
Plans to Distribute Wealth; "Farmer
Bob" Doughton Predicts the
Hearings to Be Lengthy

According to Associated Press
news from Washington, it is reported
that President Roosevelt is consider
+, ing and may soon request new inher-
itance and heavier gift taxes as a
move intended to keep wealth from
piling up in the hands Of a few.
The White House was silent in the
face of persistent talk that the taxes
might be asked in special message.
And Secretary Morgenthau, who once
suggested taxing inheritances and
gifts to arise revenue for paying the
bonus, would say only that the treas
ury is "just sitting tight" until Con-
gress requests its tax suggestions.
His guarded press-conference re-
mark referred also to legal require
mnts that revenue measures originate
in the house. But informed observers
considered this technicality and en-
phasized that the treasury and house
ways and means committee usually
proceed in close cooperation.
On Capitol hill there were varied
reactions to the tax reports. Some of
the more conservative and a few
bonus advocates expressed opposi-
ton; some liberals who had been ad-
vocating just such step favored it.
The idea, congressional leaders dis
closed privately, is being seriously
considered by the President for a
two-fold purpose:
First, two provide $3OO,OOO,OOO to
$6OO,OOO,OOO in revenue each year
and, second, to replace MIRA as a
means of spreading income.
A couple of leaders suggested the
possibility of special presidential
message to Congress. One added that
the idea might be to include them in
the measure Congress must enact to
extend the existing "nuicance" taxes
which bring in around $416,O0O,000
year and most of which expire June
Goth.
There were objections, however, to
the latter suggestion since Congress
now has only 20 legislative days left
before it must act on the nuisance"
taxes or let the government lose some
needed revenue.
Doughton Predicts Lengthy
Hearings
Chairman Doughton and Repre-
sentative Samuel B. Hill, Democrat,
Washington, of the house ways and
means committee, which under the
constitution must originate all tax
legislation put through Congress,
frequently have said that if any new
taxes were proposed there would have
to be lengthy hearings. That might
let the nuisance taxes die, and the
tax experts are opposed to losing any
income.
Doughton has been too busy with
NRA to talk about the tax situation,
but it was learned that he and Sena-
tor Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi,
chairman, already had discussed it
with the President.

THROUGH STATE
CAPITAL KEYHOLES
By BEss HINTON SILVER

TOUGH JOB-Early Administra-
ton of the newly-created State De-
partment of Highway Safety is going
to be a. tough assignment in it's early
days. Beside the tremendous task of
organization, the public is likely to
be unappreciative of the problem of
educatings half a million drivers and
policing thousands of miles of roads
with 121 State Highway Patrolmen.
There is danger that the new safety
department may be blamed for future
accidnts it could not hope to prevent.
WHISKEY-State politicians are
hopeful tina tthe wet and Dry issue
can be kept out of the 1886 primaries.
They aver this is a question to be
voted upon and determined by the
people-not gubernatorial or sena-
torial candidates. There is little a
Governor can do about it. Ehringhaus
attempted to smooth the alcohol wa
tiers in the closing hours of the late
legislative session, but failed. And
don't forget, Tar Heel Governor
hasn't the veto power.
LUCKY BREAK-Some Raleigh
politicians express the opinion that
the Supreme Courts action in declar-
ing the NRA unconstitutional was a
good political break for President
Roosevelt. These prophets point out
that NRA was growing mighty I'M
popular but that howl for it's bene-
fits went up just as soon as the high
court kicked it OF. Political leaders
here say that NRA will be popular
again when the price and wage cut
ting gets started and the President
can blame all that on the Supreme
Court. If so, that will let Mr.. Roose-
welt out of big hole.
COMING BACK-Chester o. Bell,
of Raleigh, and George Adams, late
of Charlotte but now connected with
the Local Government Commission
must be beaten more than once before
they quite. Two years ago they ran
for State Auitor but were beaten by
Baxten Durham who has held the
place for year. Now both Bell and
Adams have annonced their intention
of seeking to unhorse Mr.. Durham
again in the primaries next year.
MORE TROUBLE - Secretary of
State Stacy w. Wade is reported to
have been worried by the decision of
Thad Eure, principal clerk of the
House of Representatives for several
sessions, to seek his job next spring.
Now along comes M. R. Dunagan,
Raleigh newspaperman who has
worked on most of the largest dailies
in the State and contributed to many
weekly papers, advising his friends
and warning his enemies that he will
be a candidate for Secretary of State.
Both Dunagan and Eure can be
counted upon to give Mr.. Wade a
| ehadache or two but what's that to
the head that wears a crown.

AID FOR FISHERMEN-Plans are
underway for the construction Of
quick-freezing and storageplants for
seafood along the fishing banks of
North Carolina. It is hoped this
would result in more orderly market
ing of products Of the deep and bring
betterprices. Further plans call for
huge purchases of fish by the State
prison department for feeding con-
victs and personnel. While this might
not cut any ice in the price of fish it
would cut into the surplus catches to
some extent.

CONDITIONS IN HARLAN,
KY, COAL FIELDS SAID
TO BE UNBELIEVABLE

Charges that unrest which has caus-
ed bloodshed in the Harlan coal fields
appears to be due to "the desire of
mine operators to amass fortunes for
themselves through oppression of
their laborer" were made in Kentucky
last week by Governor Ruby Laf-
foon's special commission.
The commission, which since last
February has been investigating con-
ditions in the southeastern Kentucky
coal fields, recommended that Sheriff
Theodore R. Middleton be removed
from office and that the Governor use
State police to "enfore the law and
give proper protection to the people
in the event the local officials do not
elan house themselves"
Reign of Terror
cit is almost unbelievable" said
the report made public by the Cover
nor, "that anywhere in free and
Democratic nation such as ours, con-
ditions can be found as bad as they
are in Harlan county. There exists a
virtual reign of terror, financed in
general by a group of coal mine OPP
orators in collision with certain pub
officials; the victims of this reign Of
terror are the coal miners and their
families"
Charges Substantiated
The report added that it's members
unanimously agree that written
charges made against the Harlan coal
operators by William Turnblazer,
president of District 10, and Sam
Caddy, president of District 80, Unit
ed Mine Workers TO America shave
been successfully substantiated by
competent evidence, except that it
was not shown that the number of
deputy sheriffs and other peace Off
GERS in Harlan county was as great
as 300"
Homes Dynamited :.
Among the charges made by the
commission, headed by Adjutant
General Henry H. Denhardt, were
that peacable assemble and free
speech are scarcely tolerated." that
men have been "beaten and mistrat-
ed" for expression union sympathy,
that bankers, coal operators and 9TH
ers practiced reprisals against
churches whose ministers dared criti-
CHE their methods, that the homes of
union miners and organizers have
been dynamited and fired into, fami-
lies evicted from their homes, ballot
boxes stuffed, union organizers ar
| rested and held without bond and
that the United States flag on auto
mobiles used by union organizers
"defiled in the presence Of and with
the consent of peace officers"
Smouldering unrest over labor
troubles since the Battle of Evarts"
in May, 1881, in which four men were
killed in a clash between some 40
deputies and miners were sketched in
til rport. National guardsmen have
been sent in several times since then
to resore order and as a precaution
against outbreaks.
