NeWS Behind
The NeUS

are not true in washington
have more significance than the
ones that are. You may negate
the following:
Mr.. Morgenthau is not going
to resign the Treasuryship be-
cause of his health. He likes it
too much, so swear his hench-
men.
John Bigge-s, head of the un-
employment counting census, is
not going to succeed Budget
Director Bell. Mr.. Bell is sick
Of it all, but Mr.. Biggers is
Republican, and not quite amen
able to pressure from above.
A great man will probably not
be appointed to take charge Of
budget economies. Included in
this officially negative category
are Frank Walker, who has al
ready given his all to something
called the National Emergency
Council and retired; Joseph
Kennedy, who can make more
money in the stock market; Vice
President Garner, who likes
fishing.
When asked if Biggers might
be appointed director Of the
budget, an eminent official re-
piled:
my nomination is Greta
Garbo."
The trouble with that is she
looks too sincere.
THE New Deal seems to be
u cracking on the inside.
The biggest economic thrust
it made was in the last revision
Of tax law. The Treasury now
virtually comedies this was a
mistake by designating Under
secretary Magill to handle the
revision of the law which was
pushed over by Treasury Coun-
sci Oliphant. Of the Treasury
does not continue to sponsor
the revision, Congress will do it
anyway, as the assembling legiS-
lators are humming mad about
it,
The new foreign policy enun-
ciated in the Chicago speech
has changed the tune of popular
political airs from Justice Black,
but the peace societies are rails
ing so much fuss that hedging
on this policy has become neces-
Sary, even though it did not
mean anything in the first
place.
The jig is clearly up on Su-
preme Court reform. The CIO
tieup did not turn out very well.
Even the SEC stock market
regulation has been something
short Of satisfactory.
All of which means a new
deal is probably in the making
on more workable lines.
TIIS is undoubtedly what has
L prompted the recent speeches
of Messrs. Landon, Hoover and
Vandenberg. They want to be
in at the kill. Yet the best Re
publican speechmaker still re-
mains silent.
The crowd (and they have
been consultedO is clamoring for
National Chairman Hamilton,
who makes more interesting
radio listening than any who
have spoken.
That is not only an idea, but
an inside movement.
THE corn loan idea was worked
= by MessrS. Wallace and
Jesse Jones on a Press Club
settee, than which nothing is
more prominent.
This is a victory for Mr.. Jones.
He was marked in the budget
midyear rehaSh by Mr.. Roose'
velt as a man without a pur-
pose. New lending functions
were taken away from him.
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau,
who was eying him for slaugh-
ter, now finds that the only
place he can finance the corn
loans is with his bitter enemy.
He could not get the money else
where.
Mr.. Jones is back.
AkK
INCIDENTALLY this is a good
1 time to dispose Of the presi.
Dental rumors concerning Mr..
Jones. He could be today's
presidential improbability, as

There's a stout protest,

where are those easy, better
jobs which most worthy young

they simply don't exist.
There are undoubtedly crooks
and chiselers in the w P A
ranks, as there are in every
other human group. But the
vast majority are decent folk
who have been hard hit by con-
ditions for which they are in no
way responsible. I admit that
marriage under such circun1-
stances seems bad sense and
poor sportsmanship.
Yet wouldn't it be barbarous
to them-and a body blow to
America-to deny marriage to
those who are temporarily de-
pendent through no fault of
their own, and by so doing, limit
desirable births? Poverty does

Some Measures Passed a.
Edenton Session on
Thursday

RALEIGH. March 12.-(UP).
The North Carolina general as
sembly YEARLY settled back to d
fast legislative pace today after a
session at Edenton yesterday COM
memorating the first meeting Of
the colonial assembly in 1928.
Ready for ratification was the
S25O,O00 appropriation measure
to advertise the state. 1t was
passed at the session in Edenton.
1t passed the senate several days
ago. &,
Also passed by the house and
sent to the senate was q resolu-
ton memorializing the president
to complete the Blue Ridge park
way. from Shenandoah, Va, to
the Great Smoky Mountains OF
North Carolina.
A few local measures were also
passed at the Edenton session.
Lying ahead of the assembly TO-
day was a calendar crowded with
statewide bills.
Fighting to adjourn sine die
next Thursday, it appeared there
would be a delay of at least two
days because of the heavy local
and public bill calendars.
Too, several major issues still
are to be settled before the legls-
lature goes home.
The house passed a bill to per-
nit unlicensed fishing in certain
sections of the French Broad river
in Pennsylvania county, and to re-
quire plumbing inspection in Hen
derson county outside Henderson
vile.
The legislature made the trip to
Edenton by special train and were

SAY INTEREST
MOUNTING IN
SCHOOL VOTE
Saturday Will Be Second
Registration Day for
April 6 Election

Increased interest in the city
school election to be held Tuesday.
April 6, is expected to result in
a large additional registration at
the courthouse and the city hall
tomorrow, the second registration
day for this, observers said today.
The heightened interest, it was
said, was brought about by a
meeting of the Parent-Teachers
association Tuesday night at
which a vigorous campaign was
launched in support of the pro-
posal to extend the school term
and to improve present standards.
Reports were heard at the meet
ing that an effort was being made
to "pack" the registration lists
with the names of persons who do
not intend to vote, and since that
time proponents of the proposal
have been warning prospective
voters not to register unless they
fully intend to vote. Anyone VINO
registers and then does not go
to the polls on April 6 actually
votes against the movement to
supplement state funds now being
used to operate the schools. 49,,
The school election, which VIII
determine whether authority Will
be given the board of county COM
missioners to levy a maximum tax
of % cents or each 500 OF val
uation in the school district, has
become Il prominent topic OF dlS-
cusSion and large registration
and vote is anticipated. Propo-
nents of the movement say there
has been a decided swing IN theif
favor since it has been made clear
that the city school board Will ask
for only about onc-half OF the
maximum levy. Such a levy wouia
mean q tax of $l.25 on each
$1,000 of taxable property.
Unofficial observers who usu-
ally keep a political ear TO tne
ground and who see the POSSIBLE
ity of reaction against the clty
and county administrations II the
school proposal fails to carry. IN.

be made to reach c0mpromiSs,

ever be levied, but officers Oh tne

The pit, situated in mountain !,

(UP).-A barrier of slate and

Bodies of two miners who died
Instantly in the explosion have

said the men may be alive in a
chamber where they can live a
short time if there are no deadly
gases present. They said there is
little hope that the men are alive,
however.
Cause of the explosion could
not be determined Immediately,
but it was believed due to "black

gases which explode at the slight

Norris Tells Senate He
Favors Action Through
Amendment
DEVANEY SAYS MYTH
BUILT ABOUT COURT

WASHINGTON, Mar. ~. (UP)
Judge John Devaney, former chief
justice of Minnesota supreme
court, today urged the passage of
the Roosevelt judiciary program
as the most conservative remedy
for protecting the confidence of
the people in the United States
supreme court.
Dcvaney appeared as the adj
ministration's third witness before
the senate judiciary committee.
He declared certain leaders in the
legal profession have built up Il
dangerous myth regarding the
courts authority.
WASHINGTON, March II. -
(UP)-Senator George Norris to-
day called on the administration
to put its strength behind con-
stitutional amendment as well as
seeking to enlarge the supreme
court.
Norris said that action is inn
perative to permit congress to
solve the pressing national prob
lens of labor, agriculture and UNI
employment.
In senate address he said that
the judiciary has not kept pace
with human progress.
He said many judges are con.
tinuing to construe Fundamental
law in a light that has failed rath-
er than in the sunlight of the cleo
trio age. He flayed the supreme
court in multiplying all attempts to
help agriculture.
Arguing that the supreme court
is Impaired in its functioning
and prestige" by serious division,
Assistant Attorney General Rob.
ert Fl. Jackson yesterday urged
the senate judiciary committee to
approve President Roosevelt's
court reorganization bill as the
"only remedy"
Jackson's "brief" for passage
of Mr.. Roosevelt's request for
power to increase the supreme
court membership to Is was based
on this logic:
/. The constitution places in
congress the responsibility for the
proper functioning of the supreme
court. Congress helps select the
justices; they must answer to
congress for their behavior; the
courts jurisdiction. except in GER
tain cases, is outlined by congress;
and congress has the generally
overlooked" power to check the
"over-reaching" OF the court.
