Raleigh, Jan. 9.-Chances for spe-
cial session of the General Assembly
any time in the near future are re-
garded as being more remote than
ever as result of the Supreme Court
decision holding the AAA unconstitu-
tional, since the belief in many cir
cles now is that the Supreme Court
will sooner or later hold the social
security laws, the Bankhead cotton
control act, the Kerr tobacco ontrol
at and many other of the "New DEAF
acts unconstitutional If it does do
this, it will then be entirely unneces-
sary for the General Assembly to pass
any laws of a similar nature. So far,
most of the agitation for a special
session has come principally from
those who thought this State should
enact cooperative laws so that it
might share in the old age benefits
and unemployment insurance set UP
by the last session of Congress.
There are some, however, who do
not think the Supreme Court will
throw the social security laws over
board, as It did the AAA act. since

Although De Valera has pledged
repeatedly that his ultimate goal
is independence for Ireland, and
he already has abolished the
Dali members oath Of allegi-

an appropriation for a governor
general, he is now concentrating
on developing Irish industry as
