ZIONCHECK

One tropic afternoon last week
Achllle Lindersay. a taxidermist of St.
Thomas, Virgin Islands. found himself
in a distressing predlcament. A visiting
Congressman and prospective customer
had offered him drink: Virgin Islands
rum laced with hair tonic.
Achille demurred, but politely. The
Congressman had caught many fish that
morning, AchilIe yearned to stuff a con.
gfessman's fish. Buf the Congressional
edict was plain: No drink, no stuff!
Archile drank So did the Hon. Marion

Washington, Oct. 26.-(AP)- Two
cases involving constitutionality of
the Wagner labor relations at were
added today by the Supreme Court to
the list of New Deal litigation await
ing a final decision.
In a brief announcement, the tri-
bunal agreed to pass on challenges of
the legislation filed by The Associat-
ed Press and by the Washington, Vir-
ginia and Maryland Coach Company.
The act was sustained by lower courts
in both controversies.
The statute guarantees collective
bargaining to labor and sets up ma
tional labor relations board to settle
industrial disputes
In acting on approximately 30 ap-
peals, the court also refused to speed
up a final ruling On petition by II
linois Communists to compel State Of
ficials to place the names of the COM
munist candidates for president and
vice-president on the ballot for the
November election. That action
made 1t impossible for the court to
act on the petition until after the
election. 1t adjourned today until No
vember 9, and will spend the inter
vening time writing opinions on cases
argued during the last two weeks.
Seven cases involving New Deal
legislation already were under review
by the court. No decision on any of
these disputes is likely before Deem
Der or January.

Raleigh, Oct. 26.-The North Caro-

been following it's activities for the

believe that it will not only be one of

be one of the best financed, and hence
be able to maintain one of the big

it does in Washington. It is generally

BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, Oct. 26-It was loyal
and self-abnegating in Secretary of
State Cordell Hull to deny all credit
for his international trade policy, and
to give credit to President Roosevelt.
But it wasn't overly accurate.
1 am not sure just how long 1t is
since Secretary Hull first outlined me
his philosophy of international trade
and financial relationships. How
ever, it was when he was in the House
of Representatives. In the meantime
he has served term ir the Senate
and nearly four years in the cabinet.
Thus it was a decade or one and a
half at the least calculation.
It was the same philosophy, to a

the State Department.
