LENT TO open
ON WEDNESDAY
Three Churches Plan Spe-
cial Observance in Six
Weeks Period

Special Lenten services are
planned in a number of Hender-
sonville churches for Ash We'd
nesday and other days of the
week.
AS a preliminary to the Lenten
season, members of st. James
Episcopal church will hold a Pan
Cake Supper tonight, observing
Shrove Tuesday, the eve of Lent
in keeping with this old English
custom.
Tomorrow, Ash Wednesday, SER
vices are set at St. James at 1880
a. M, when Holy Communion will
be observed, and at 8 p. m. when
the service calls for the Lltany
and an address.
At the Immaculate Conception
Catholic church, mass will be Gel
ebrated at 1880 a. m. Wednes-
day.
Grace Lutheran church has no
special services set for Wednes-
day, but a special Lenten service
will be held on Sunday afternoon
at 5 p. m. Special services will
be held each night at 1880 O'Clock
during Holy Week.
The Lenten season is that period
preceding Easter which is mark
ed by intensive devotion to thing
spiritual. In a recent contribu

"Racketeering" Is ACCUSE.
ton Against Department
of Agriculture

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. (UP)
critics of the New
Deal farm program renewed their
attack in the house yesterday, &C.
cusing the agriculture department
of permitting "racketeering' and
of giving out misleading infor-
nation
The attack came with considera-
ton of a $161,S63, 147 agricul-
ture department supply bill, which
had been cut $2S,525,857 below
budget estimates by the house APP
preparations committee. T h G
slash removed a million dollar
fund for President Roosevelt's
"tree shelter belt" project to COM
bat dust storm erosion in the great
plains states.
Meanwhile, the AAA plunged
into the work of creating a de-
tailed program under which some
100000 American farmers might
be persuaded to withdraw about
25,000,000 acres from intensive
cultivation. 1t was indicated a
system of percentages would be
set up for various crops as a
guide, with the farmers request
ed to conform to the national pro-
gram.
Thus if a survey by crop and
soil experts indicated a 20 per
cent reduction in the national
cotton crop was desirable each
cotton farmer would be asked to
cut his cotton acreage one fourth
The house attack on farm plans
was led by two influential Repub-
licans-John Taber of New York
and Allen 7. Treadway, of Mass

Dollar Throwing

Mississippi Representative
legged on to Conquest
by Secretary

WASHINGTON, Feb. rs. (UP)
To prove that "darned good
amateur" as we'll as the great
Walter Johnson can equal George
Washington's traditional feat,
Representative ALBERT c. Dunn
3D., Miss.) last night announced
he was entering what may soon
be known as the Rappahannock
river dollar throwing derby.
On Washington's birthday,
Johnson confirmed that the Faith
err of his Country could have
thrown a dollar across the river
at his boyhood home-if he ever
threw his money away, a point
which Representative Sol Bloom,
3D., N. W doubts very much.
Egged on by his secretary,
Lawrence Bouligny. and his for
mer campaign manager, Russell
Minniece, the 38-year-old Missis-
sippi congressman said he hoped
to journey down to the old Wash
ington home at Fredericksburg on
Thursday to test his luck with sill
yer dollars. If congressional bus
mess prevents his going Thursday
he will make it later in the week,
he said.
Like the great Walter Johnson,
who had plenty of baseballs but
no dollars-except the one a
newsreel photographer gave him
to use only while the camera was
grinding-Dunn was having trou-
bic locating silver dollars.

Dunn, who is more than six
feet tall, confessed that he had
pitched baseballs at the Univer.
sity of Alabama and Mississippi
during his younger days before
he needed the call of politics. He
never has had any previous ex,
perience in throwing money away

GOV. TALMADCE
IS BLOCKED IN.
DICTATORSHIP
Stages Semi-Military Coup
But Foes Work To Cut
Off Funds
LOSING BATTLE FOR
GOVERNOR is SEEN

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 25. (UP)
Eugene Talmadge last night was
dictator of Georgia finance by
virtue Of quasi-military coup,
but faxed a battle in the courts
to maintain his position.
Although national guardsmen
in mufit swept two antagonistic
officers out Of the state capital
and installed two Talmadge sup
porters in their places, Talmadge
still had far to go if he is to be
successful in his unorthodox eff
fort to operate Georgia without a
budget.
State Treasurer George b.
Hamilton and State Comptroller
General William B. Harrison,
ousted by Talmadge because they
would not approve his levies on
1886 funds without an appropri-
alton, announced they will file
quo warranto action, asking an
injunction.
Hamilton announced he had
wired all repositories Of state
funds, informing them they will
honor checks drawn against state
funds by his successor at "their
peril"
The ousted state treasurer
took. collateral posted by state de-
positories as surety for state de-
posts and deposited it in the fed
eral reserve bank where Tai
madge followers probably will be
unable to touch it.
The vault at the state treasury
was closed and sealed for at least
72 hours by a time lock. 1t was
doubtful whether the Talmadge
employees knew the combination
Of the vault once the time clock
made it possible to open it.
Comptroller Harrison warned
that Georgia taxpayers are taking
the chance of having to pay taxes
twice should they make remit
tances to his successor, G. B. Car
reker, since Carreker "has no law
full authority to receive taxes.
Talmadge called on his close
friend and aide-de.camp, Adju-
tant General Lindley w. Camp,
to execute the custer Of the two
officials who opposed his effort
to operate without a budget.
1t was understood here that at
torneys for major oil companies
operating in Georgia have advised
their clients not to pay gasoline
taxes into the Talmadge-appoint-
ed treasury administration. Such
action, paralyzing collection OF
the states six-cent gasoline tax
would imperil Georgia federal
aid road program, since Talmadge
would Immediately run into diff
culties in matching federal alloca-
tons.

HOUSES MARK TIME
ON BIG LEGISLATION

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. (UP)
The senate yesterday passed
bill exempting stock held by the
RFC from state and federal tax
alton, and voted a resolution to
investigate government expendi-
lures to see what economies may
be made. ...s
Introduction of the stock tax
bill brought an attack by Senator
James Couzens (R., Mich.) on
Walter ]. Cummings, treasurer
of the Democratic national COM
mittee, for holding interlocking
directorates in companies in which
the RFC is interested.
Before passing the bill, 3S to
29, the senate adopted an amend
ment by Senator Arthur H. Van
denberg r., Mich.) reducing the
RFC interest rate from 4 to 3 IL
per cent. The bill grew out of a
recent supreme court decision
permitting Maryland to tax GER
tain RFC stock. The house prob
ably will pass the measure today.
Both houses marked time on
major legislation, awaiting the
administrations tax bill late this
week or early next, which is ex-
pected to seek $500,000,000 adj
ditional revenue to finance the
farm program.
The inquiry into government
expenditures was suggested by
Senator Harry F. Byrd d., Va.).
Byrd requested $4,000 but this
figure was cut to $4,000. Five
senators will comprise a commit
tee to investigate overlapping of
bureaus and recommend CONSOLE
dations or liquidation of various
agencies in the interest of econ
omy.
Senator Arthur Capper r.,
Kans.) introduced a bill to ex-
empt newspaper men from being
forced to reveal sources of infor-
nation in court or before con-
gressional committees. A similar
bill is pending in the house.
Senator Burton X. Wheeler
3D., Mont.) introduced a bill low
ering the interest on federal land
bank loans from 4 to 8 1-2 per
cent.
