Raleigh, Aug. 31-A six-year pro-
gram for the building of worthwhile
public works projects in North Caro-
lima will be mapped out by the State
Planning Board as soon as it can get
a report from the cities, towns, coun-
ties and townships as to their public
works needs and desires for the next
six years, Theodore S. Johnson, con-
sulting engineer for the board, an
nounced today. When these reports
are received from all of the govern
mental units in the State, the infor-
nation contained in them will be
compiled by the board with the close
cooperation and assistance of the
Public Works Administration, the
Works Progress Administration and
other Federal agencies, Johnson said.

Mechanical Cotton Picker
May Destroy Small Farmer

eff the machine is successful,
Johnston said, "the immediate result
on southern agriculture would be too
big question to answer, for there
would be no point to small-time farm
ing.
"The picker would be ideal for big
planters but not for the small farmer
who growers only four or five bales
each season. He couldn't afford it
for his acreage is too small"
Johnston said it might be possible
to coordinate the machine and hand
labor on large scale operations.
Whether the device is economical
ly superior to hand labor was to be
determined in prolonged operation
this fall The cotton picking ability
of the machine, cost of operation and
speed will be compared with that of
hand pickers over an entire season.

He Fired

Chicago, Aug. 31-(AP)-Wilmar
Ickes, g. foster son of Secretary of
the Interior Harold L. Ickes, was
found shot to death today in his fos-
ter fathers home in suburban Win
netka.
Sergeant Harold Lewis of the Win
netka police, said "unquestionably it
is suicide"
Erick Magnuson, care-taker in the
employ of the Ickes family for 20
years, found the body at $40 a. M,
eastern standard time. There was one
bullet wound through the head.
Magnuson told the police a 38-cali-
bre pistol lay on the body which was
on a bed in room on the first floor
Half an hour later Ickes' wife tele-
phoned to Magnuson from Chicago,
where she and their three children
had just arrived on a lake steamer
from a trip to Mackinac Island, Mich.
He told her of her husbands death
and she left at once for the Win
netka home.
Winnetka police had reported to
the Chicago coroner that there was
a note written by Ickes, but Sergeant
Lewis said he had not found any COM
munication.
The sergeant said Ickes had been
in ill health and was under a ply
sician's care.
The body was removed to an I'M
dertaking establishment in nearly
Evanston, where an inquest was set
for $50 a. m. tomorrow.

Facial palsy occurs when the
motor nerve on one side Of the
face becomes diseased or ruptured
and ceases to control the muscles
on that side of the face. The
active muscles on the other side
begin to exert an unaccustomed
pull on the features, and the re-
suit is that the corner Of the
mouth becomes lifted and the

Court Asked to Bury
Blue Eagle Corpse

The National Industrial Recov-
cry Act generally revised the con-
ception Of the excess profits tax
in the 1892 revenue act, amend
ing the tax law to disallow credit
for losses incurred by corporations
in previous years. This, it was
asserted by legal authorities, pre-
vented any balancing of debts
and credits of companies incurring
alternate large profits and large
losses.
The Cord Company has en-
ployed as its chief attorney in the
tax argument Charles D. Hamel,
former member of the Board Of
Tax Appeals who resigned in 1925
to reenter private practice. Hamel
said he would press for a ruling
by the Supreme Court.
The Cord Corporation petition
asked redetermination of an al
legged deficiency in income and
excess profits tax liabilities for the
1888 fiscal year in the amount OF
$62,346. 1t also asserted a claim
for overpayment of taxes in the
year for 1893.
The Washington times., 1936-06-27

A Chicago automobile company
last night attempted to drive a
stake through the body Of the
Blue Eagle by challenging consti-
tutionality of the tax provisions
of the NRA statutes which were
not directly affected by the
Supreme Court decision in the
Schechter case.
The question as to legality of
the special taxing provisions arose
in a petition filed with the board
of tax appeals by the Cord Cor
poration, controller of the Auburn
Automobile Company, which pro-
tested an alleged income and ex-
cess profits tax deficiency assess
ment with a counter-charge that
the excess profits levy as it now
reads upon the statute books is
unconstitutional.
It was alleged that the provision
for this tax in the 1882 revenue
act "is unconstitutional in that it
contravenes and is repugnant to
the Fifth Amendment of the Con-
stitution of the United States"

Radio Scheme Cuts
Traffic Violations

The traffic problem
is always with us. Every
city has adopted some
means to curb the reck-
less and irresponsible
driver. Some Of the
schemes are good, others
are not worth their salt.
Occasionally, however,
some plan will emerge
that is really meritorious
and worthy of a wide
and general adoption.
Such is the plan put in
effect in Indianapolis
not long ago. There, a
one-hour program Of
traffic cases is broadcast
direct from police court
every week; not the
more serious and in
volved cases, but just
ordinary run-of- -the-mill
violations brought in by
the officer on duty. The
court works fast and eX-
peditiously, and about
80 cases are disposed Of
in the allotted time.

so popular has the idea
become.
Success of the plan
hinges on the following:
Law violators, as a
rule, fear little the judg-
ment and penalty Of the
court. But they do dread
the laughs and taunts
Of the crowd that follow
when they advance a
flimsy excuse for viola
ton of the law. This,
coupled with the knowl-
edge that the remarks
are going out over the
air to where friends are
perhaps listening in, has
a very valuable and
deterrent effect, and
makes IN e m OF tor is t
doubly heSitant before
running the risk Of an
other brush with John
Law.
It must not be
cleaned, however, that
this plan is intended
solely for the haraSs-
ment of the auto driver
It also works to his ad-
vantage. With pro-
ceedings on the air,
the judge must be
unusually Scrupulous in
his administration of
the laws. He must make
clear his interpreta-
tions and the reasons
for arriving at his deci-
sions. He cannot take
liberties and must
