In Washington; Reynolds i'm Line
DOughtOn Prominent

Senator Josiah w. Bailey's fight
against President Roosevelt's Sup
rene Court enlargement was an out
standing development of the long
congressional session from a North
Carolina standpoint.
His colleague, Senator Robert R
Reynolds, himself solidly behind the
Presidents policies, supported the
court plan. But Bailey became one
of the most outspoken opponents
of the judicial reorganization mea,
sure.
The scholarly senior senator, one
time editor of Biblical journal.
took his fight to the press, the radio,
and for nearly two days to the Sen
ate floor.
When the Presidents plan finally
was abandoned, Bailey solemnly an
nounced. "The victory is won.'
Shortly afterward, before the ses-
sion's end, he went home, admitted
ly weary man.
HIT RELIEF POLICIES
Bailey also struck against the ad-
ministration's relief policies and
supported plan for financially able
local governments to shoulder a part
of the cost.
Representative Lindsay C. War
rem of Washington sponsored legis-
lation creating a national seashore
park on the northeastern coast of
the state.
The States representatives united
to obtain $4,5O0,OOO appropriation
for the Blue Ridge parkway, con-
Meeting the Shenandoah National
park in Virginia with the Great
Smoky Mountains National park
in North Carolina, after the House
appropriated committee had recon-
! mended reduction to $2,500,O000.
Representative Robert L. Dough-
ton of Laurel Springs, dean of the
States delegation and Representa-
tive Zebulon V. Weaver of Asheville

The delegation backed a move
