Taken To Supreme Court
uDYiUerS
Is Started
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In The Sir Walter Hotel,

Raleigh, March Is The intensive
drive to enforce the State drivers
license law started this morning by
the State Highway Patrol, with the
result that drivers IN all sections of
the State can expect to be stopped at
any time by patrolmen and asked to
show their driving permits. Patrol
men will also test the cars for faulty
brakes, lights and other equipment.
Arrests Not Planned Now
The purpose of this check-up, how
ever, is not to arrest drivers, but to
require all drivers who do not yet
have their driving licenses to get
them without further delay, Commits
sioner of Revenue A. j. Maxwell
pointed out today. Nor have those
drivers who have already applied for
licenses but who have not yet receiv-
ed them, have any cause to worry.
All patrolmen will be supplied with
blank affidavits and cars and all per-
sons who do not have a driving per-
NIT, but has already applied for one,
will have to do will be to sign an af-
fidavit to the effect that he or she
has applied for permit but not yet
received it. The patrolman will then
issue a card to this effect, which will
take place Of a driving permit until
it is received, Commissioner Maxwell
said.
Will Cost Them $1.OO
Nor will those found without any
driving permits be arrested at first.
All that will be required will be for
the driver to pay the patrolmen $1.OO
and fill out the required application
form for a license. The driver will
them be given a card by the patrol
man showing he or she has made ap-
plication for license. Patrolmen will
make arrests only in cases where
drivers fail to show they have made
application for licenses or refuse to
pay $1O0 and to make their applica-
tions as requested, or where it is evil
dent they are operating under fraudu-
lent licenses, Commissioner Maxwell
said.
While more than 100000 drivers Ii
cense have been issued so far, it is es-
timated that there are at least 100000
drivers who have not yet even made
applications for their licenses. This
enforcement drive, starting today, is
primarily for the purpose of COMPEL
ing these 100000 or moer drivers to
get their licenses at once and thus
make the law effective.

Peace Nav
Hang Upon
One Word

London, March 16 (AP)-The fate
of the present negotiations concern
ing the critical relations of Germany
with the rest of Europe may hang on
the translation of a German word.
1t developed today that the League
of Nations Council may seek from
his reply to an invitation to attend
the Council session.
The Qualification, 1t was said. would
be to clear up just what was meant
by the word "alsbald," contained in
the telegram Joseph Avenol, secre-
tary general of the League, received
from Hitler last night.
The. German Embassy in London,
while the British cabinet was consid-
ering the situation, informed the for
eigh office that the correct transla-
ton of the word is ri ndue course"
instead of forthwith" as the Council
secretariat officially translated it.
The new translation puts modified
Interpretation on Hitler's condition
for sending representative to the
Councils session.
Hitler's reply originally was inter-
the negotiation of his peace proposals
simultaneously with the discussion of
his denunciation of the Locarno pact.
The new translation might mean
that consideration of his proposals
could come at later date, which
might be acceptable to the French.
Last night, the French denounced Hit
ler's reply as impossible.
Germanys position now is under
stood to be that she will attend the
Council session on a footing of equal
ity if assured that the powers con-
cerned are prepared to enter into ne
gotiations in due course with regard
to the German proposals.
French sources indicated that this
change made the situation more hope
full, although Foreign Minister. Elan
din and Joseph Paul-Boncour, his min
lister Of state, refused to comment.

ly do think that the present White

ing again.
Increasing "again" is the correct
way to put it.
now though they didn't at the time
that there was a while, following
about mid-term of the current admin

of a rapid decline in their favorite's

But they say the tide has turned

REPUBLICAN VIEW
What is more, there are Republi-
cans candid enough to agree with
them.
The Republicans are much dissatis-
fled with Colonel Henry Breckenridge,
as an anti-New Deal Democratic rival
bf President Roosevelt. OF course,
they are entitled to no voice in anti
New Deal Democratic counsels, but
they do believe that the Democratic
"antis" might have hit on a more ap-
pealing leader than the colonel
AL Smiths nomination on boiling
Democratic ticket is what best would
please the Republican managers. They
reckon that AL might draw sufficient
ly from Roosevelt's strength at the
polls not to be elected, but to permit

Recently by Char

CHALLENGE POWERS

First To Reach Supreme
Court Involving This Law,
But 46 Cases Bearing on 1t
Have Been Filed; Anoth-
er Charlotte Decision Due
In Court

Washington March 16.-(AP)- An
other New Deal law involving con-
stitutionality of the public utilities
holding company act, was appealed to-
day to the Supreme Court.
The court met in brief session, but
handed down only two decisions of
restricted significance and list show
ing what new appeals they had de
cided to entertain or ignore. There
upon, the justices adjourned until
March 30.
No ruling was given on the long
pending antitrust suit of the govern
ment against the sugar institute.
The holding company case appeal
was filed by Burco, Inc, of Baltimore,
from ruling by the circuit court of
appeals at Charlotte.
The circuit court declined to pass
upon the constitutionality of the law,
but ruled that the American States
Public Service Company did not have
to register with the Securities and
Exchange Commission because it did
only an interstate business
The. petition, the. first to the tri-
bunal involving this law, asks that
the question be decided as soon as
possible.
There were said to be pending 46
cases filed by 147 public utility hold
ing companies to attempt to restrain
enforcement Of the act.
One more New Deal is expected to
be appealed in time for a decision this
term. 1t involves a decision also by
the circuit court at Charlotte uphold
ing the right of the Federal govern
ment to furnish PWA funds for pub
licly-owned hydro-electric cases.
Two other New Deal measures eX-
pected for decision in May are the
Guffey coal and the 1888 truth in Sc
curities" law.

Council Refuses Flatly To
Obligate Itself to Discuss
Hitler's Peace
Proposal
SIX NATIONS TAKE
OPPOSITION STAND
Council Agreed Germany Is
Entitled To Sit in on SEES
sions on Equal Basis, But
Without Right To Vote;
League May Now Con-
denim German Course

London, March 16.-(AP)-The Lea
que of Nations Council, in secret ses-
sion, agreed today to Reichfuehrer
Hitlers demand for equality, but flat
ly rejected his condition that the
Council must discuss his peace pro-
posals.
Hitler had offered to send a repre-
sentative to the Councils delibera-
tons on Germany's remilitarization of
the Rhineland only on basis of full
equality in the conference, and with
tie understanding that his recent Of
fer of new peace pacts would be con-
sidered
Six nations headed by France OPP
posed Hitler's insistence on bringing
his peace proposals up simultaneously
with the discussion OF the Rhineland
occupation.
The Council then voted unanimous
ly to accept Hitler's first condition
and to reject the second.
The vote was interpreted as tanta-
mount to qualified refusal of Hit
.eT's conditions.
The Council was agreed that Ger
many was entitled to sit in the Coun-
Gil on an equal footing with the other
Locarno powers-that is. without the
right to vote.
T. was stated that, owing to their
status as interested parties in the Lo-
carno pact, France and Belgium, as
we'll as Germany, would not be en-
titled to vote in the League Council
meeting.
The French delegates said they re-
garded the verdict of the secret ses-
sion as a decisive victory for France.
A French spokesman predicted that
the League now would condemn Ge.-
man, since Great Britain and Italy
have given France their assurances
that for them the Locarno pact still
exists.

For example Wash ington State with six Representatives and two Sena- tors has eight electoral votes New with 45 Rep resenatves and two Senators has AT electoral votes and the other states accordingly The total electoral vote therefore, is 53l the number corresponding with 435 members of the House of Representa- tives and 96 members of the Senate
 Taking again, for example the state of Kansas home state of the Republican nominee for President Gov Ali M.
