WHAT IS COVERED UP

Readers of The News and Courier have observed
that it has not attacked the New Deal in many
weeks-which does not mean that any of its opin-
ions have undergone revision. The important thing
for South Carolinisns is to know what the New
Deal is. Not one OF the politicians or candidates
condescends to tell them-further than to expand
on the gifts that have to the state. The News
and Courier may be wrong, all wrong. about the
New Deal, but the average voter in South Carolina
has not had the chance to learn Of its nature from
its friends. The heart and substance of it have
never been discussed in South Carolina byits loud
est accsimers and benefciaries, and the views OF il
held by the average South Carolinisn who supports
it and that of the thronging citizens of Philadcl
phia, Boston, Chicago, New York, who also vote
for it are more widely separated than are the opn'
ions Of Governor Landon and the President.-The
Charleston News and Courier.

Background Of the decision is |,
fight begun by Attorney General
Homer S. Cummings and his aides
when about so widely scattered
suits were filed against the act by
holding companies and operating
utility companies, with a promise
of as many more to come. The
government just hasn't enough

fight as many cases as that.
| CUMMINGS went personally in
~ to federal district court in
Washington and asked a stay of
several suits filed there until the
government could get supreme
court decision on its main case
the suit against the huge Electric
Bond g. Share Company.
This was his answer to utilities
officials, lawyers, and publicity
men who had insisted that the
government must get together
with them and agree on four or
five suits which would be fought
out as test cases. (The alterna-
tive would be necessity OF con-
testing a hundred suits.) 80

Americans who feel that they must travel across

be like the fellow who couldn't see the forest for

Listen, for instance, to the tale of New York
State Supreme Court Justicc-elect Lee Parsons Da-
Wis of White Plains
During a recent trip to Europe, Mr. Davis and
his family found themselves embarrassed at beiGG
unable to answer strangers who inquired about
New York, of which, incidentally White Plains is
suburb.
Determined to learn something about his own
country. Mr. Davis returned home and hired guides
for a "rubbernecking' tour of New York.
Then he found himself target of barrage of
kidding by friends, who told him Jenny Lind was
dead, Grants Tomb finished, and supplied
other helpful information Mr. Davis finished his
tour with the appropriate moral:

seeing something of our own country."-Greenvile

SEA Service stan CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON. - Many stout
" hearts in the American bar
were practically broken when
the U. S. Supreme Court acted in
the utility holding company cases,
trial Of which the government
wanted TO delay pending deci-
sion on single case.
During the last few years, the
New Deal and its legislation have
provided magnificent meal
ticket for lawyers. Thousands OF
suits have been filed against the
government and tens Of millions
Of dollars in fees collected for
handling them.
But now the court has struck
cruelty at this group which has
professed the greatest veneration
for the very justices who have
now punched so many holes in the
meal ticket as TO leave available
something comparable to the price
Of a couple of bowls of soup.
The effect is TO save the govern
ment legal staff from being har-
assed by mass onslaughts Of suits
brought by the most talented and
expensive attorneys in private
practice.
HERETOFORE corpora tons
have been running the federal
lawyers ragged and the govern
ment has been practically at the
mercy Of money.
Dut the supreme court has
made new law and given the
government new weapon. II the
next, Congress passes another
Guffey coal act, and hundred
suits are brought against it, the
attorney general will be in a posi-
ton to ignore all but one or two,
upon which he can concentrate
toward building up the best pos
sible, case.
Eight justices have said in effect
that the attorney general can take
on Americas biggest corporations
and their lawyers one at a time
instead Of having to be "ganged
up" on.
Justice Stone being ill and alb
sent, this meant unanimous de-
cfsion. which surprised both

One reason for labor-saving de-
vices besides increased economy,
is increased dependability and eff

person who could give you the
service you can get from me-

bile, an automatic stoker, an cleo

Perhaps the most complete history
of means of transportation in the
United States, in the early part of
the nineteenth century, is commemo-
rated on china. Steamboats,, loco
motives, covered wagons and stage
coaches were all pictured on platters
and whole sets of china which came
from the Staffordshire potteries. In
the earlier time, with a view TO pro-
noting trade with the colonies and
later the States Of the American Re-
public, the potters around Liverpool
began to decorate dinner sets and
other china with views taken from
America itself. An authority says
that many of these views have been
perpetuated in no other way. The
views were taken from sketches made
by travellers in this country; con-
temporary prints and sometimes from
pencil and oil sketches made by artists
sent by the posters. The newly in
vented camera -obscura" or camera
lucida" were also used for making
studies. A very popular pattern
we're picturesque views of the Hud-
son River, the coats Of arms Of
the original thirteen States. the ia
nous ships Constitution and Bon
Homme Richard and other historic
scenes of the Revolution. with por-
traits of Gen. Washington, La
Fayette, Franklin and other leaders
of the day.
A very popular example Of early
Staffordshire in this country is a
dinner set depicting the log cabin Of
William Henry Harrison in l840, when
he was campaigning for the presi-
dency-there were and maybe now
some pieces of the originals owned
by descendants of President Harri-
son, down in Virginia. In the pres
ent campaign busts of President
Franklin Roosevelt, which are copies
Of the one made by the noted sculp-
tor, 10 Davidson, are being widely
circulated. Glass manufacturers are
to put on the market pieces for table
use depicting the heads Of Gov. Lam
don and Mr.. Roosevelt. Old time
campaign advertising is again coming
into use.
