Ransom Cash Story
Persists at Boston

BOSTON, Feb. 81 G.N.SO.-De-
spite lack of official confirma-
zion, reports persisted today that
$3.50 in Lindbergh ransom money
has been put in circulation in
Boston and Providence, r. l., dur
ing the past year.
Officials of local banks pro-
fessed ignorance of reports the
money had been sent to Attorney
General Homer S. Cummings at
washington.
The latest development came
yesterday when it was rumored
at the Federal Building that Fed
eral agents were seeking the air
plane passenger who purchased a
ticket with Lindbergh m oney.
This report, likewise, was bereft
Of official confirmation.
Another angle was the report
Of a deposit of $500 of Lindbergh
money in a Providence bank.
This report added the bills went
through the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn to Washington before being
recognized.
Another report had $1,000 in
Lindbergh money passed in New
England-$30 last Friday for the
airplane ticket and 500 in va
rious spots since the arrest of
Hauptmann.

the Justice Department force in

PARALYSIS SCARE WAS "ovERDoNE"

Many doctors will tell you that the scare about
infantile paralysis has been baseless and was far
overdone while it at its worst in North Caro-
lima.
They viii also tell you what you probably never

epidemic and threw it off-that is, it made stab
at you and couldn't catch hold because your resis-
tant alarm clocks went off and sent the germ sour

BUZZARD ROoST DECISION

Judge H. H. Watkins yesterday affirmed his
earlier decision in connection with the projected
power development at Buzzard Roost IN Greenwood
county, holding that the spending of federal monies
for the production of power in competition with
private industry is unconstitutional.
In the main, the second decision by the federal
court in connection with the Greenwood county
litigation follows very closely the original decision
handed down by the court last spring. In his earlier
decision Judge Watkins found that the Duke Power
company the plaintiff in the action to halt the pow
err development in Greenwood county, is supplying
adequate service to residents of the area involved,
but the main point upon which the courts findings
are based is the fact that the contract between
Greenwood county and the Public Works admins
traton is beyond the scope of constitutional au-
thority and, therefore, is invalid.
One who has studied the earlier ruling of the
court easily grasp the merit and the soundness
of the findings of Judge Watkins. The courts opin-
ion is an able one and we suspect that it will stand
the test of future battles in higher tribunas.-An-
derson Record.

date worthy of Huey's support. So he is going to
swing the Democratic convention to Long! Long
Long! the Democratic convention which might not
even seat him. And if neither of those eventuaI-

dent.
We hope they don't and he does. He will get the

up few votes from Mississippi and Arkansas,

it easy for any demagogue He may get some from

But the power of Huey has been the awful threat
of Huey. A grim suspicion has persisted that the
country was restless and foolish enough to troop in
after some mountebank like this sinister fellow
from Louisiana. And the way to dispose of threat
is to put it to the test.
