Charlotte

Charlotte, Jan. (AP)-The fourth
circuit court of appeals took under
advisement today the effort of the
White Packing Company of Salisbury
to obtain an injunction against the
Federal "windfalP' tax.
The "windfall' tax was enacted by
Congress after AAA processing taxes
were declared invalid. 1t required
payment of 80 per cent Of processing
taxes which were passed on to con-
sumers in the form of higher prices,
and which were not paid to the gov
eminent because of legal fights. The
act describes the levy as tax on "un
lust enrichment.
The packing company appealed
from a district court ruling by Judge
Johnston J. Hayes that the court was
without Jurisdiction on the ground
that the company had an adequate
remedy at law if it should pay tax
which might later be declared un-
constitutional.
Today's argument centered around
the matter of jurisdiction, with the
matter of constitutionality touched
only as it might involve irreparable
damage to the company through un-
Just collection of the tax.

Raleigh, Jan. 5-If the 1887 Gene
raj Assembly adopts the recommends
tions of the gasoline and oil fact-find-
ing commission headed by Represen-
tative Oscar c.. Barker, of Durham,
it will enact a number of laws which
will enable the State to hold a perpe-
tual club over the heads of the gaso-
line and oil moguls with which to
slug them into line if they ever again
attempt to Disseminate against North
Carolina, either as a State or against
the gasoline users of the State, ac-
cording to those who have read the
report of the commission. The re-
port was submitted to Governor j.
C. B. Ehringhaus Monday afternoon
and Immediately made public by him.
The most far-reaching recommen-
dalton contained in the report is that
the General Assembly appropriate
100000 to be used by the governor
and Council of State for the erection
of a State-owned gasoline and oil ter
minal at some port in the State, when
ever the erection of such a terminal
might be regarded as necessary and
expedient. The report Celebrates
upon this recommendation by stat
ing that at the present time the con-
tract under which the State is buy
ing the 10,OOO,OOO gallons of gaso-
line it uses, seems to be reasonable

the uproar caused by SCOTS house
