NEWSPAPER TAX.
Law RULED OUT.
Louisiana Act invaIidated
by Unanimous Verdict of
High Court.
By United Press

By OntteG Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-In a
sweeping unanimous opinion that
that went to the roots of the Amer
lean constitutional guarantee Of
freedom of the press, the Supreme
Court today invalidated the Louis
lana state newspaper gross receipts
tax.
While submitting it's verdict in
the newspaper IVA law passed at
the behest of the late Senator Huey
P. Long, the court failed again to
render it's decision upon the co.,
stitutionality of the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority.
However, two important rulings
upon the validity of sections of the
New York State milk control law
were presented.
The courts opinion in the Lou
isiana case struck hard at any eff
fort by government to shackle the
long guaranteed liberty of the press.
Milk Rulings Vital
Read by Justice George Suther-
land, it challenged the Louisiana
statute squarely as:
mot an ordinary form of tax, but
one single in kind, with long his
tory of hostile misuse against the
freedom of the press"
The courts rulings in the New
York milk control law were of vital
Importance to the continuance OF
that form of state control.
The first case was brought by the
Borden Farm Produces Co. to test
provision providing that dealers
who advertise their milk widely must
sci it to stores for l cent quart
more than non-advertising dealers
The court, by a 5-to-4 vote, held
this provision valid.
IVA Delay Surprising
The second test came on suit
by Mayflower Farms, Inc, to test a
part of the statute which held that
firms organized after April 10, 1888,
would not sell their milk at the
1-cent-a-quart lower price.
The court, by six-to- three, held
this provision invalid and sent the
case back to the New York courts
to determine whether the restric-
ton could be separated from the
first provision which was held legal.
The failure of the court to hand
down the IVA decision today sur
prised observers who have expected
the decision for some weeks. The
court has now had the IVA case for
So days without ruling.
Indiana Case to Be Heard
The court decided today to hear
argument in suit brought to chal-
lenge the Indiana state law regu-
lating installment sales within the
state.
The appeal was brought by Gov.
Paul v. McNutt and state enforce
ment agents for ruling of a three
judge Federal District Court in In
dianapolis which held the law un-
constitutional and enjoined its en-
forcement.
The suits were brought by the
General Motors Acceptance Corp. of
Indiana and the McHenry Chevro-
let Co., Inc. The law provides for
the licensing of finance companies
engaged in underwriting installment
sales contracts for less than $500
and puts a limitation on charges
which may be imposed in connec-
ton with installment sales.

Dwindling supplies of milk
and food, added to an already
serious fuel shortage, brought
the frozen Middle West today
face to face with the most
serious emergency in the 20
day cold wave.
Death and acute suffering were
reported in half dozen states
where mountainous drifts blocked
all traffic.
Serious milk shortages were
feared in Iowa, Wisconsin and por-
tions of Illinois where supplies were
rationed in pint lots to grocerymen.
Officials said every effort would
be made to supply the need of chill
dren and hospitals. A number of
Iowa towns reported shortages
which affected their entire food
supply. Orders were placed on a
ration basis.
Worst in 40 Years
Iowa weather men said the storm
was the worst in 40 years.
Waupaca, Wis, received it's supply
of milk by sled. Kenosha (Wis.)
diaries limited deliveries to hospitals
and homes with sick or children.
Coal deliveries were limited to one
ton a customer.
One hundred and sixty-six per-
sons in four Wisconsin counties we're
isolated in farms and small town
hotels. Trains were far behind
schedule and every available man
and piece of equipment was ordered
out to clear the rails.
Subzero temperatures numbered the
Central states for the seventeenth
of the last 20 days. Almost $50 per-
sons had died from exposure, fires,
or in traffic accidents during one of
the most prolonged cold waves on
record.
Trains were snowbound on nearly
all branch railroad lines in Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Iowa, and the Da-
kotas while main line trains were
hours behind schedules. Trains be-
tween Des Moines and Minneapolis
were cancelled last night. Winds
had piled great drifts across high
ways and hundreds of miles of
roads were impossible.
Towns Are Isolated
Iowa, suffering from an acute coal
shortage, was menaced by food
shortage. Disruption of train and
truck schedules prevented milk de-
liveries to many towns. Des Moines
dealers rationed milk to families
with small children.
Sioux City had enough milk to
last. through the day. but unless
highways are opened today, there
will be no milk tomorrow. Three
trains arrived late last night bring
ing Sioux City its first mail since
Friday.

 IN N. Y. ADDRESS
President Declares Repub-'
 licans Raising False
Issue, Communism CHIEF EXECUTIVE IS GIVEN GREAT OVATION
Declares Never Greater Need for Fidelity to
 Real Americanism

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept. 30.-In a stirring speech before the New York State Democratic Convention here l:st night, President Roosevelt opened his campaign for reelection. He was given great ovation as he urged his party to bury the red herring" raised by the Republican organization in it's charges of Com munistic support for the Democrat ic Administration. Contending that his record show ed consistent adherence to the let ter and the spirit of the American form of government, the President opened his campaign with a repu1 diation of support of any advocate of communism, He called com munism a false issue in the cam paign.
 He told the State Convention dele gates that previous national ad- ministrations had encouraged con- ditions that fostered Communism
  The Democratic party is realistic enough to face this menace. There never was greater need for fidelity to the underlying conception of Americanism than there is todty. Once again it is given to our party to carry the message of the American people. Here and now once and for all time, let us bury that red herring, and destroy that false issue"
 The yelling, whistling throng throng cheered him. Men and wo- men sprang to their feet waving flags and hats and shouted when the President repudiated Commun- istic support.

1880 and 1881, when he had marks of 1886 and .538.
 Up to this year, Hub had a ma Jor-league winning average of .621 and he entered the last week of the 1886 campaign with season mark around 800.
 His World Series mark is 1000 per cent, for two games won and none lost against the Washington Senators in 1883 when he pitched 20 innings, struck out 15, yielded six bases on balls and gave l3 hits.
 Many Pauses On Way Up
 Hubbell came up to the majors by way of Gushing in the Oklahoma State League, Oklahoma City in the Western, Toronto in the Inter- national, Decatur in the Three Eye and Beaumont in the Texas Circuit. Detroit bought him from Oklahoma City but didn't use him, and he was optioned to Toronto, and then to Decatur before the Tigers re-, leased him outright in 1928 to Beau mont, whence he came to the Giants with reported price tag of $40,- 900.
 An odd thing apout his record is that he lost either II or l2 games in each of the last eight seasons, except this one when he cut his losses in half while topping his pre- vious personal record of 23 wins made in both 1883 and 1885.
 Among Hubbells records: Pitched only no-hit, no-run game in the majors, 1929; led the National in innings pitched, games won and earned-run average, 1883; had best earned-run average in the Nation al, 1884.
 He was the senior circuits most valuable player three years ago. and may be again.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30. = Wher King Carl' Hubbell, the Missouri born boy who now halls from Nee ker, Okla, steps to the mound ir the Polo Grounds, the New York Giants will be favorites to end the Yankees string of 12 consecutive World Series game victories.
 The willowy screw -paiier, who stands out as one of the most con- sistent pitchers in the majors to- day--and of all time-is virtually conceded victory in the opener good chance for another his sec ond time out-and a third, perhaps if the series goes along to 7th- game conclusion.
 However, the prospect of third turn for Hubbell as a starter is doubtful, although he is likely to draw relief assignment if the oth- CT Giant hurlers falter before the Yankee bats at late or crucial mo- ments.
 Hubbell completing the best sea- son of his career, outshines any, thing else the Giants have in the way of pitching power-or any, thing the Yankees can muster on the mound, for that matter.
 Alter HubbeH The Deluge
 The dark shots whipping off his long, loose left arm are expected by Giant partisans to still the Yan- kee power, but after Hubbell has served his turns the twirling trou- bles begin for the Polo Ground CTS.
 Hubbell's forte has been consis- tency ever since he joined the Giants in 1928. His winning average drop ped below 600 in only two seasons

NEW YORK, Sept. 30. = Charles Ruffling, who answers to the name of Red and bats like a prize out fielder, is on the firing line for the Yankees in the 1856 World Ser ies.
 Standing feet tall and carrying upwards of 200 pounds, Ruffling is both an ace pitcher and bona fide member of Murderers' Row at bat, with a husky hitting aver age above 300.
 He likes his turn at the plate so well, in fact, that he once enter tained ideas of deserting the mound for an outfield berth that would permit him to get into the game ev- cry day
 Wins in Series ot '32
 That is the hefty carrot topped moundsman who may get the slab assignment for the Yankees in the World Series opener.
 Ruffling, with the Yankees since 1881, after knocking around half a dozen years in the Boston Red Sox livery, got his first taste of World Series pitching four years ago.
 That time he defeated the Chi cago Cubs, striking out 10 passing six and yielding 10 hits as his mur- dering mates romped along through their third straight 4-game World Series.
 RecoUerS From Slump
 His Worlds Series appearance came as the climax of Reds banner season. He won l3 and lost seven for a winning average of .720 in the regular campaign of 1932
 From there he promptly dropped to .291 average in 1883 with nine wins and IA losses, but recovered with a 19-and-11 record in 1884 and 16 and II last season.
