Alabama was made a party to
the suit and entered it to argue

The son of a Fukien peasant,

When DIR. Sung left Singapore

PLAINTIFFS CITE
INJUNCTION
The complainants had asked the
suit be thrown out because they
had obtained an injunction from
a three judge federal court in
Montgomery preventing collection
of taxes levied by the state law:
Under the federal act if they had
paid state taxes 80 per cent could
have been given to the state, and
their obligation to the federal gov
eminent would have amounted 20
only 10 per cent. .,u;,
, The Judge informed them that
thew had erred in obtaining a rul-
ING of unconstitutionality from a
federal court. If they had attacked
the state law in the state courts
whether it was constitutional Or
unconstitutional they would have
been liable only for ! per cent OF
the pay roll value - the amount
required by federal law. But since
they had obtained an injunction
against the state law in fedora!
court, they had no recourse and
the money already paid to The
state would be lost.
Judge Davis construed the so,
cial security tax a properly levied
one and refused the injunction,
although compliments argued this
would prevent them from further
pursuing the question of the con-
stitutionality of the state law.
Unless they want to lose the
money already paid to the state
the plaintiffs must prove the fed
eral law invalid. Meanwhile they
plan to appeal Davis ruling.
MELLON CASE PRECEDENT
They also attacked the tax or
the grounds it was a move by
congress to force states to enact
unemployment compensation laws
Davis cited the case of Mellon rs
Florida in which it was ruled con-
gres shad the power to enact ar
inheritance tax. Florida had at
tempted to prove coercion by con-
press to compel it to enact state
inheritance tax.
The present social security ACT
is for the general welfare" of the
people, and Judge Davis said if il
could not be upheld under che
general welfare" clause, Of the
constitution, the clause was use
less.
The federal court ruling against
the state law was made in a suit
brought in Montgomery by the
same compliments. The court
there threw it out on the grounds
that it violated the state and fed.
eral constitutions in that it ap'
piled to companies with Eight OF
more" employees.
That distinction and clasifica-
ton was unreasonable and am
ounted to taking property for
the general welfare without due
process sof law, the court said. II
granted a permanent injunction 20

fro mthe plaintiffs.

DIXIE TESTING.
CROUNDOFNEW
SECURITY LAW
Federal and Mississippi Acts
Upheld; Alabama Law
in Dispute
By MAYNARD STITT
United Press Staff Correspondent

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan. 60
The South has become testing
ground for the constitutionality of
the administrations social security
program.
Results have been varied. The
federal social security law has
been upheld in one decision; The
Alabama LAWN regard 20 unem-
ployment compensation insurance
has been declared both valid and
invalid and the Mississippi state
law has been upheld.
Three Of the rulings were in
federal courts. Other suits are
pending in state courts.
The Alabama law was declared
unconstitutional by a federal court
and was upheld by a state circuit
court.
Most sweeping of these decisions
was the one handed down here by
the federal court for the Northern
Alabama district. In that ruling
Judge David J. Davis upheld The
law in it's broadcast sense.
DAVIS SUCCEEDED GRUBB
Davis succeeded the late William
|. Grub. Judge Grub made sew
cral decisions invalidating New
Deal legislation. The Tennessee
Valley Authority act. the agricul-
ture adjustment administration
act and the federal excise tax On
alcoholic beverage dealers in dry
states were held unconstitutional
in his court.
Judge Davis decision on the So
cial security law was in the case
of the Beeland Wholesale COM
pany and the Alpha Portland &C.
ment company which sought to en-
join collection Of the unemploy-
mcnt insurance tax.
His ruling was contained in q
lengthy, informal brief that de-
MED the petition for an injunc-
ton. He discussed broad aspects
of the case. g.
The social security tax, Judge
Davis said, is a weapon against
future depresions. He described
the suffering during the depres-
sion at length and ruled that con-
gress-having spent billions to end

WARNS AGAINST USE
OF OIL NOSE DROPS
Should Never be Used for
Children, Says DR..
r. III. Riley

Speaking of colds, especially
among babies and young children,
DR.. R. H. Riley, director of the
State Department of Health, eau
tons mothers against following
the advice of neighbors or friends
with regard to the use of "cures"
or methods of treatment. He
warns especially against the wide
spread use of oil drops in a baby's
nose. 1t is a dangerous custom,
he said, and has been found to
have very serious after-effects. In
some instances, the indiscrimin-
ate use of such drops has brought
on certain form of pneumonia
that is particularly fatal to young
children Oil nose drops should
never be used for young children
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1937-11-12

he added, unless that method of
treatment is specifically ordered
by the child's physician.
Here is DR.. Riley's explanation
of the warning: TN a small baby
the nasal passages are very short
and it is quite easy for oily
fluids put into the nose of such
an infant to get down into the
lungs. Oil is not absorbed in the
nose and therefore gradually
seeps downward. In the lungs the
oil sets up an irritation and pro-
duces a certain variety of pneu-
monia. The disease develops
slowly and the harm is often done
before the trouble is discovered.
This kind of pneumonia does not
yield to the usual form of treat
ment. Reports from different
parts of the country show that it
has been responsible for many
deaths. In almost every case, a
careful inquiry has shown that
oil drops had been used.
Many manufacturers of nose
drops have realized the serious
ness of the situati nd have
printed instructor labels

Thrift Cooker Dinner

To prepare such a meal:
Spread a round steak IL inch
thick with a well-seasoned bread
dressing, roll it up and secure with
a skewer. Preheat the roomy thrift
cooker kettle on High heat and
brown the steak on all sides. Place
steak on rack in cooker, add ia
cups water and surround meat
with pared sweet potatoes (cut
in lengthwise pieces and whole
onions. Pour the pudding bat
ter into Individual molds and ar
range them on top the vegetables.
Fancy, cooking onic s with the
dessertl But that's just one of
those amazing things about the
thrift cooker. Each food takes
its share of the heat units and
minds its own business, even to
boarding its own Individual flavor.
After the meal is placed in the
cooker, it cooks on High heat I'M
til steam comes from vent; then
on Low for about 1 hour.
And strange but true-it's the
economical dishes which choose

of their products not to use oil
nose drops in children under two
years old, unless prescribed by a
physician. Most hospitals and dis
pensaries now make it a rule
never to order such treatment for
young infants. 1t is important,
however, for mothers themselves
to understand about the danger
so that they will avoid using nose
drops except under doctors
orders and direction.
'The best plan for any mother
to follow in order that she may
safeguard her baby from avoidable
sickness is to have the baby in
spected at regular intervals by
the family physician and to call
him promptly between times
whenever symptoms of illness
show themselves"
