Mr. GreenIee Called In


Mr.. Greenlee Called In
The state administration forces
fought the primary bill, it is agreed
because experience in the 1884 SEN
atorial convention convinced the
Governor and his advisors they
would be better able to dictate this
years Governor nomination in a
convention.
On all three measures, as we'll as
on others where the two house lead
ers felt some trepidation about their
abilities to hold the majorities in
line, it was Mr.. Greenlee who was
called on to use persuasion or the
big Stick" which ever was neces-
Sary.
Gov. McNut's advisers became
facetiously known as the boy
Scouts" and any test of the admin
istration's power was sure to FIND
them in proximity to the two as
sembly chambers or, in the case OF
the house, in the rear of the Speak
er's roStrum.
1t is safe to say, in light of the
results, that all of the Boy Scouts
were very good advisers because
most of the rebellious or waverine
legislators saw the light.
However, persons who are familiar
with the obstacles hurdled by Ger.
tain bills in their progress through
either house, say Mr.. Greenlee wa.
the most adept at the difficult ar
of forced legislative feeding.
These are few of the reason;
why many persons are saying the
Governor may find reason to regret
his separation from Mr.. Greenlet
when the special session is convened

SUPREME COURT MADE DECISION
Huey Long Law Killed By Unanimous Vote--TVA
 Ruling Given

Washington, Feb. 1O-(Up)-In a sweeping opinion that went to the roots of the American constitution al guarantee of freedom of the press, the supreme court today in- validated the Louisiana state tax on gross receipts of newspapers. The ruling on the newspaper tax law passed at the behest of the late Sen. Huey Long, was unanimous.
 The court failed again to render its long, expected decision upon the constitutionality of the Tennessee valley authority. However, two im- portant rulings upon the validity of sections of the New York state milk control law were presented.
 What Court Held
 The court held that the tax was @ restraint on advertising and, if carried far enough, could become c restraint on circulation.
 Justice George Sutherland, who wrote the opinion, recalled attempts to stifle expressions of opinion In England. A newspaper and adver- Using tax to control the press, Suth- erland said, was passed by parlia- ment in the 18th century at the re- quest of Queen Anne
 The taxes then, he said, were re- ferred to as Q tax on knowledge. Each of the English laws, Suther- land said, made 1t clear those tax es were not for revenue but to con- trol opinion.
 The framers of the constitution, the opinion said, were well aware of the English fight which had then gone on for 30 years and of other taxing attempts in Massachusetts.

 The committee, Investigating air safety, also was told that important department of commerce air weather data is gathered in many cases by "unskilled" observers, mostly farm- CTS.
 Thomas W. Tomlinson, flight en- gineer of Transcontinental Western Air Corp. made the charges.
 Tomlinson, former navy "hell- diver" said the departments safety measures were insufficient" and mot dependable because of economy.
 Safety beacons are weaker" he said, radio beams are not as de- pendable as formerly.
 Senator Hiram Johnson, republi- can, California, asked why this con- dition existed and Tomlinson re- piled: Economy"
 The former navy ace told of two eases from personal experience in which radio beams were "out" for long periods. If weather conditions had been bad, 1t would have been extremely hazardous, he said.

WILL SPEED UP
 NEW FARM BILL
There Is Much Opposition Developing = Senator
 Walsh Is Opposed
JAMES W. wADswoRTH

Washington, Feb. 1O-(UP)-Ad- ministration leaders sought to speed the new farm bill past two senate obstacles today and to final sen- ate vote probably Tuesday, despite Q new onslaught-by Q democrat on its validity. The latest attack on the measure, which provides for soil conservation and 0 system of Little AAA" units in each state to achieve production control and provide benefit payments to farmers came from Sen. David !. Walsh, d., Mass. Sen. William Fl. King, d., Utah, previously had joined repub- lican leaders in criticizing the bill. The measure must pass test votes on motions by Sen. Charles L. Me- Nary, minority leader, who will seek to re-commit 1t, and by Sen. Tom Connally, d., Tex, who will attempt to amend 1t to provide for an ex- port debenture plan.
 Hope to Defeat Moves.
 Leaders in the fight for the measure hoped to defeat both moves and to complete action in Q day or two. Walsh attacked the bill as neither valid in law nor valid in economics end public policy" 'The bill," he said, seeks to escape from the supreme court decision, and the purposes of the bill are as broad and indefinite as the English lang uage can make them. "The recitals of the purposes, from the stand point of sound public policy, are dangerous in the exetrer1e. The bill in substance and effect gives to the secretary of agriculture and his agents autocratic and blanket auth. oFity to do virtually anything un- der the sun calculated to effective such purposes T know of no pre- vio,,s act of congress which, in that respect, is on Q par with the present proposal.

THREE OTHERS | BELIEVED LOST
They Were AhOat on Ice
 Foe in Lake Michigan; Ice Breaks Up

Charlevoix, Mich, Feb. l0-(UP) Three men, adrift on Q crumbling ice Hoe in Lake Michigan, were be- lieved today to have been swept to an icy death. Exhausted coast guardsmen returned last night to report that strong wind has brok- en ice foes into small pieces.
 Two of the missing men, Claude Beadsley, 46, and clayton Brown, 22, were fishermen who elected to wait while three companions were rescued Saturday. The third was Coast Quardsman Earl Cunningham who went to their rescue. They were last seen Saturday night.
 Ice was dynamited to permit launching of . motor launch yes- terday and Boatswain George Kel- terhouse led c futile search party over the stormy lake. He Saved Three
 When the ice broke away late Saturday, Quinton Dunn pushed Q small rowboat toward the fioe. He rowed six miles before catching up with the drifting ice. Quinn brought Gene Bearss, 76, Cleo Lapeer, 45, and Lapeer's son, Lloyd, 18, back ifl the small boat and collapsed when he reached shore.
 Cunningham volunteered to make the second trip. His mates on shore, using strong binoculars, saw that he reached the foe ct dusk with @ snow storm starting. The stiff wind prevented an atetmpt to return and the three men drifted quickly out of sight.
 The cutter Escanaba returned to Muskegon harbor yesterday after battling drifting ice for siv hours in an attempt to join the search.
