others in the future, but said:
II prefer an occasional mistake to

His letter warned that powers

SLOT MACHINES

Florida like North Carolina, is banshing the
slot machines. This form of amusement which APP
peals to the JOY of taking chance, so pronounced
in human beings, grew to alarming proportions in
America.
Some people friendly to the one-eyed bandits
defend them the ground that the tax derived
from them is needed revenue to the states and
counties which see fit to grant license. Others ar
que that if a slot machine player has the money
and is satisfied to spend it this way, it is no bust
ness Of the state to protect him against the thrill
and influence of machine.
North Cardinals recent General Assembly out
lawed the machines at one sweep and by October
lst, the ceaseless grind of the gears and the roll
of the wheels and balls will be heard no more. For
Florida, all counties, save one, have voted them
out.
It is estimated that more than ten thousand slot
machines in Florida have garnered approximately
one hundred million dollars in nickels dimes, quar-
tiers and halves, returning only one-sixth to the
players Florida was fat land for slots because
people on vacation arc more spendy and playful
The followers Of the machine, the ponies and the
dogs on Florida race tracks we're so numerous that
they could throw their support to political candi
dates favorable to their continued operation, thai
the life or death of these gambling and betting de
vices were real issue in campaigns and deter
mined political results to a great extent.-Shelb!

harmony and spirit of recognition of mu-
tual responsibility and common interests
The Times-News accepts this opportun-
ity to voice it's enduring confidence in the
character, common sense and solid Ameri-
canism of the vast majority of the workers
of the South. Notably. here in the Caro-
linas, workers and employers in industry
and various lines of business have made a
magnificent contribution in the. past three
or four decades to the progress and pros
perity of the two States. In fact, viewed
solely from a material standpoint, by far
the largest contribution to the upbuilding
of the States has been made by business
and industry-we include the agricultural
industry in this summing up of achieve
ment-and the contribution of the workers
has been, of course, absolutely necessary.
Without labor capital would have been i'm
potent and its efforts futile.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE RAPE OF THE WOODS

The dogwood and the red bud are now colorine
the countryside woodland with their gorgeous beau
ties of Spring bloom and one looks out upon this
panorama of forest faryland to admire and rhap.
sodze if one has eyes that see loneliness of
this sort.
It is detestable that so much vandalism is prac-
ticed against these wild flowers and blooming trees
and shrubs.
We suppose that there is no such law, but there
ought to be one to be invoked against those who
get into the cars laden with the weapons necessary
to go out among these beauties and wilfully and
at random cut and slash, which would make it
prima-facie evidence of theft or vandalism to be
caught hauling bouquets from these gardens of ma
ture back to their homes.
Of course, it is contrary to the law for one per-
son to go upon the lands of another person with
out the latters consent for the purpose of demol-
ishing these beauties and snatching limbs from
Towering trees and otherwise roaming at will, and
at vicious will at that, through the woodlands
owned by others.
But it is dreadfully hard for landowners of the
countryside to protect their own properties from
such approaches and to set up barriers against the
invasions of urban residents who go forth to sack
and to plumber.
There Is class Oh tneSe VINO are merely Thought
less and who have no malicious ends in mind that
have been premedtated and studied.
And then, too, there is another class of vandals,
probably like those who ravished the lovely Ivey
gardens in Myers Park, who so out to steal for
commercial ends, who commit theft of flowers in
order to sell the products of their criminaty for
pecuniary ends.
No matter however, what the origin of the deed
in motive the powers of the law need be invoked
against one and all alike who commit these tres
passes.
Policemen ought to stop every car hauling in
these woodland flowers and every citizen who OBJ
serves such plundering should make report to of
fcers of the law in order to put an end to this
kind of vandalism.
There is no excuse for it.--Charlottc Observer.

HISTORY AND TRUTH
BY WICKES WAMBOLDT

another will deny that thing and
declare something else. Experts
who arc now on the ground and
have all the inside information
that can be had about the SUI
preme court matter, contradict
each other violently.
Some of our current writer's
find employment in proving con-
clusively that some of our most
cherished historical beliefs are all
wet. They have even proved that
George Washington could tell a
lie. But whether what they have
proved is true or not is something
else again. Why you cannot get
the lowdown about even Il safety
razor. Ask one user about it and
he will say it is wonderful. Ask
another and he will say it is hor-
riblc. While the BARRIERS opinion
of all safety razorS may be un-
printable.
Didn't Pilot put a question
though when he asked: what is
TRUTH" And if you will notice he
got no answer.
One trouble about getting the
truth is that one mans truth may
be another mans falsity.

fHHE rest OF tho court, however,

gossip is that the four unyielding
conservatives are especially bitter
at Hughes, Roberts and Stone; at
Hughes and Roberts because they
have joined the liberal justices
in recent decisions; and at Stone
because he gave the courts critics
two memorable phrases to quote
enthusiastically - personal eco
nomic predictions" in the New
York minimum wage case, and "a
tortured construction of the Con.
stitution" in the AAA case. The
apparent attitude Of Justice Nc
REYNOLDS toward the unemploy-
ment insurance law was indicated
when he asked:
"Well, didn't we get along with
out this for $50 years."
And Justice Butler at one time
asked Assistant Attorney General
Robert H. Jackson:
care you inviting us to consider
this on the basis that there is nc
limit on the power that can be
exercised by the federal govern

WASHINGTON - Government
w attorneys and private attor-
,eys are confident that the Su-
oreme Court will make its first
Social Security act decision by a
vote of S to 4.
They are not sure. however,
what The decision will be. The an
swer to that, affecting about 49,
100000 persons now covered by
unemployment insurance laws
seems to rest with Justice Owen
Josephus Roberts.
The other justices, il is gath
cred from their questions and
comments during argument by
counsel, are split along familiar
lines-with Hughes, BrandeiS
Stone and Cardozo appearing &c
favor the federal-State unemploy-
rnent insurance system set up by
the act, and the conservative
quartet of McReynoldS, Butler
Sutherland and Van Devanter in
opposition.
If this is correct, Roberts again
will be in an all-powerful posi-
tion--a one-mah balance of pow
er, making vital interpretations Of
g a constitution which governs a ma
ton Of l3O,O00,o00 human beings
Roberts played that part in the in
Galidation of the New York mini
: mum wsye.s act and again in the
opinions upholding the Wagner

) mann wage acts.| W
There are signs that the re.
SponSibility is beginning TO weal
on Roberts and high officials arc
suggesting in private conversation
that he, the youngest of the nine
justices, may be the first of the
present bench TO retire.
He looks older and more care
worn. Throughout recent argu-
rnents on the Alabama unemploy-
ment insurance law and validity
Of the federal unemployment in
surance tax, Roberts seldom il
ever looked at government coun.
sci. He asked no questions.
