Banker Warns Present Prosperity Era
Stands Only On Federal Clutches

ATLANTA, Ca, Mar. 20. (UP)
The United States has entered the
present era Of prosperity on gov
eminent crutches and still Is un-
able to stand alone, President w.
w. Woodson Of the First National
Bank of Waco, Texas, told south
ern bankers last night. 49,.
Much of the present recovery
appears artificial, and is not sup

cial and industrial purpose, Wood
SON said in an address before the
regional banking conference OF
the American Bankers association.
"The present initiation" Wood
san said. is caused largely by Is
sues of bonds and other securities,
adding that deposits, including
postal savings, plus currency not
in banks, exceed the 1929 figures
by s2,O00,000,000.
"Loans and discounts which are
about one half the 1929 figures

Killer of Pines

The U. S. Department Of Ag-

is carrying on a program to pro

known as "blister rust" The dis
ease spreads by means OF a host

from diseased pines to healthy
pines. Blister rust cannot spread
from one tree to another. All cur

1000 feet of white pine must be
destroyed if the pine is to be IN

A crew Of nine men is working
in Henderson county at present,

But Roosevelt's Executive
Reorganization Scheme
To Be Defeated
(copvr;ph, 1887 BY United Press)

WASHINGTON. Mar. 20. (UP)
Well informed authorities predict
ed today that President Roosevelt
would be voted power to reorgan-
ize the supreme court but would
not be authorized at this session
of congress TO reorganize the
executive branch of the govern
ment.
Republican opponents of court
reorganization concede the adj
ministration sufficient senate
votes to add Justices to the high
bench. Whether the number will
be six, as was proposed by MIR.
Roosevelt, or no more than two,
which is privately suggested even
by some Democratic supporters
of the administration, depends
largely upon the breaks as they
come.
These two reorganization pro-
grams and the problems raised by
an epidemic of sit-down strikes
are among the most urgent con-
fronting Mr.. Roosevelt as ne
starts today to return from a
Georgia vacation.
Perhaps of equal concern is the
treasury outlook. March tax col
lectionS fell below estimates.

Negotiations to settle MichiganS

Chrysler, head of the automotive

said.
"Should loans and discounts
show o strong upward tendency,
coupled with an increase In the
velocity Of deposits during the
next two years, there would be an
expansion or increase in the pres

Realizing that the 1929 figures
are boom figures, we are rapidly
reaching those figures In produc-

Sixty-two boys in Henderson
vile high school are directly con-
nected with the farm and thirty
others have expressed interest in
agriculture and a desire for in
struction in it, E. T. Frisbee, Mills
River-Fletcher vocational agricul-
ture teacher, informed the Kiwa-

mended that a course in agricul-

school as soon as practicable.
At the conclusion of his address,

classes and some Of the results
obtained, the club authorized its
agriculture committee, headed by
R. E. Transue, to seek the inclu-
sion of such instruction in the

Since 1917, Mr.. Frisbee said,
the number of vocational agricul-
ture teachers in the state has in
creased from IL to 800 and the
number of students from a few
to 10000, with thousands of
others desiring such instruction.
The program is largely supported
by the federal and state govern
ments under the provisions Of the
Smith-Hughes act. AS an example
of the results obtained from class
work and practice programs, the
speaker pointed out that while the
average yield of corn per acre In
this county is % bushels, the av-
erage of students who carried out
corn projects last year was 4S

Down" Plan

WARM SPRINGS. March &c.
(UP).-President Roosevelt, in
good health after his two weeks
vacation in Georgia pine woods,
leaves late today FOR Washington.
The next month will be one Of
intensive work for the president
with emphasis on sit-down strikes,
the judiciary program and the
work relief program.
WASHINGTON, March &c. -
(UP). - Three specific formulas
for possible new strike legislation
are being studied by congressman.
These proposals include O bill
to outlaw sit-down strikes by
classifying them as violations Of
the federal antitrust statutes;
second, a plan which would per-
nit presidential Intervention in
strikes of national magnitude;
third, q program which would ex-
tend facilities Of the national rail-
road labor act to other industries
and seeks to create machinery
which would hold back strikes
through mediation facilities.
Secretary Of Labor Frances
Perkins and union leader John L.
Lewis were sharply criticized in
congress yesterday for their atti-
tude toward sit-down strikes
which Senator Rush D. Holt,
young West Virginia Democrat,
attacked as "more dangerous than
q foreign INVASION"
The cabinet officer was drawn
into angry debate in the house
over indstrial unrest by Represen-
tative John Mccormack, D.,
Mass, who noted that she had
been quoted as placing sit-down
strikes in the same category as
picketing. Defending picketing as
legal and assailing the sit-down as
illegal, Mccormack said:
IF Miss Perkins made such q
statement she should remember
she is q member of the presidents
cabinet and be a little cautious"
Holt denounced sit-down strikes
as "un-American" and labor lead
ers who have employed the eco
nomic weapon as interruptions"

Il nc DuICuu VI All SOlilliltICe III
vestigators today examined the
scattered wreckage of the Trans
continental and Western airliner
in an effort to determine. the cause
of the crash that killed nine men
and four women.
The twin-motored ship plunged
into a hillside, five miles south
west of Allegheny airport last
night, ripped the cabin to splin-
ters and brought death to all on
board.
The plane was flying around,
awaiting orders to land. What
happened probably will never be
known.

women, were killed last night
when a T.W.A. Ia passenger
Douglas airliner en- route from
Newark. n. j.. to Chicago, crash
ed as it was preparing to land at
Allegheny airport outside this
city.
DR.. John Mclean, manager of
the airport, said the crash "un-
doubtedly was due to ice on the
wings" Temperatures were drop
ping and strong headwinds were
bucking the plane as it was fol-
lowing radio instructions to land
before it plummeted to earth at
GAP p. m.
The dead included Pilot Lawr-
ence Bonnet of Jersey City, n. j..
and Co-Pilot Howard Warick and
Hostess Doris Hammons, both of
East Orange, N. j.
All those aboard the plane were
killed.
The big two-engined silver
plane literally was smashed to
bits. Bodies Of the dead were
scattered over a radius Of more
than SO feet.
Weather conditions were fairly
clear.
DR.. Mclean said that the plane
passed over the airport at 6:33 p.
m. preparatory to landing.
The crash was timed at GAP p.
nj. by wrist watch of one of the
victims. C. r. Levers of Kansas

smashed and the hands stopped at
GAP p. m.
In contact with both the gov
ernment and two radio stations
and riding the radio beam, the
plane was told to circle out from
the airport until it was instructed
to turn back to land. The plane
was flying on the left leg Of the

A WOMAN SCIENTIST

Few women have attained exceptional
eminence in the scientific world, par
ticularly in the field of original research.
An amazing exception was Marie Sklo-
dowska Curie, co-discoverer of radium,
who died in France in 1884 at the age of
Sc. She was unquestionably the greatest
woman chemist and physicist who ever
lived.
Nine. Curie was born in Warsaw, POI
land, and was pupil of Pierre Curie in
Paris before their marriage, In 1898,
while experimenting with radioactive sub
stances in their laboratory they discovered
and isolated the powerful element to
which they gave the name of radium. For
this epochal discovery the CURES were
awarded the Nobel prize in physics in
1903. For achievements in chemistry
Nine. Curie was again given the Nobel
prize in 1911.
Her husband was killed in an accident
in 1906, after which she succeeded him as
chief professor of physics in the University
of Paris. She visited America few years
ago and was acclaimed by scientists and
the public.
During her years of experimenting
with radium, Nine. Curie, like numbers of
others who have worked with this power
tul and dangerous substance, suffered
from its effects, which contributed to the
illness which caused her death.
Thus she belongs to that noble band
of martyrs who have sacrificed themselves
for the benefit of humanity.
