been slugged in front Of the Pal
mer house.
Detective Rocco Filetti of the

pickets. No one was injured.
Earlier, police arrested IL men
who tried to tip over q cab on
the south side. The Vehicle Bu-
reau also picked up ten men. Five
of these were held on charges of

tives in an effort to "find out
what they want" He said he had

tiations by Labor Secretary Fran
ces Perkins after the cab drivers
requested federal me-
diation.

BEFORE GROUP
Borah Leads Scheme Foes
in Attack on Cum
mings Plea
Is BEING QUESTIONED
AFTER GIVING VIEWS

WASHINGTON, Mar. 10. (UP)
William Borah, veteran Idaho SEN
ator, today led foes Of the Roose-
velt judiciary plan in an attack
upon Attorney Feneral Homer
Cummings plea before the SEN
ate judiciary committee for
prompt action on the proposal.
Borah and other foes clashed
with Cummings, after he testified
for an hour to the effect that an
impossible situation had been ere
ated by the reckless use Of in
functions in restraining the oper-
alton of federal laws, the pres
ence on the federal bench OF aged
or infirm judges, the crowded
condition Of the dockets and the
need for infusion Of new blood
into the judiciary.
WASHINGTON, Mar. 10 (UP)
Attorney General Homer 8. Cum
mings opened the administrators
congressional drive for supreme
court enlargement today with o
declaration that President Roose-
velt's judicial reorganization plan
would "restore the balance Of our
governmental machinery"
Speaking just IL hours after
President Roosevelt's freside ap-
peal to the nation for support Of
his supreme court enlargement
program, Cummings reiterated be-
fore the senate judiciary commit
tee the presidents request that
the judiciary program be enacted.
Sitting quietly before the COM
mittee and q crowd that jammed
the big senate caucus room, the
attorney general echoed the pres
ident's appeal for national sup
port in one Of the bitterest con-
gressional controversies in many
years.
He rejected alternative meth
DDS for meeting "the impossible
situation growing out Of what he
termed RECKLESS use Of injunc.
tions" against New Deal legisla-
ton.
Formally clad, unhurried and
calm in his argument presenta-
ton, the attorney general con-
tended that the presidents plan
was necessary to clear the way
for urgent social and economic
legislation.
Supporters and foes of the
court plan expressed equal conf.
dence in the ultimate outcome Of
the struggle. Leaders of the DEM
ocratic and Republican opposition
ranks planned studied question:
ing Of Cummings.

Iouisburg, Sept. S.-(SpeciaD-Al,
though perhaps not widely recognized
as such, Louisgurg college is one of
the oldest of the institutions of higher
learning in the State of North Caro-
lima and even in the United States.
It's forerunner began operation in
the year 1879 and thus in one form or
other the Louisburg school has been
in existence for almost 160 years,
length of life that compares well with
that of the University of North Caro-
lima, which is one of the oldest, if not
the oldest, state schools in the United
States.
Recent analysis of the records of
the student enrolment during the life
of Louisburg indicates that approx
mately 10000 men and women have
first and last come to this institution
for an education.
This total enrolment compares IA
vorably with that of the larger

BUSINESS SCHOOLS
NEW TERM STARTED
Outlook Is for Best Year in 1nStltu-
TONS History; Mrs. e. G.
EVeritt Owner

Another year was begun by the
Henderson Business School last Mon
day, with the term started under most
favorable auspices, according to Mrs.
E. C. Everitt, the owner. Prospects
are for the greatest enrolment in the
history of the school, which was start
ed in Henderson, some six or eight
years ago by Mrs. Everitt and her late
husband.
From the start the school has been
a success, and has attracted a large
student body from Henderson and
Vance county and adjoining counties.
The thorough, efficient training
given students under Mrs. Everitt's
direction has made an enviacle re-
putation for the school in this section
of the State and Virginia, and grad
yates usually find employment at or
shortly after their graduation. The
school commands the respect and con-
fidence of Henderson business men,
who are glad to have in their organi-
cations the young men and women
who receive their training there.
Courses taught include steno-
graphy, commercial law, commercial
English, spelling, filing, rapid cal
culation, penmanship and typing.
Students may enter and start courses
on any Monday.

but a few years later it was thought
best to separate the males and fe-
males. and so in 1902 the ''Louisburg
Female seminary" was chartered and
suitable buildings erected for the &C
commodation of girls only.
In 1855 the ."Louisburg College
company" was organized for the pur-
pose of raising funds to add work OF
a true college grade to the schools
course of study and two years later as
a result of this effort the school be-
came an institution of genuine col
lege character.
In 1891 the college came into the
hands of the late Washington Duke
who during his life operated the col
lege as it had been for some time. In
1907 on the death of Mr.. Duke, the
property was given to the North Car
DINA Methodist conference by his
son. Benjamin Duke. In 1881, Louis
burg college became a co-educatlonal
institution. Three years later 1t IN
augurated a unique program OF SELL
help whereby any student VINO want
ed work to pay his or her college ex-
penses could get it.
In 1886 the college started pro-
gram of industrial arts education and
is thus a pioneer among junior col
leges and even senior colleges in the
state in developing a more practical
type of education.
Louisburg is the only school owned
and operated by the N. c. Methodist
conference which is made up of 233
charges and 713 churches scattered
over 40 eastern and central North
Carolina counties.

STATES CCC QUOTA
WILL EXCEED 1900
i. L. Grier, Supervisor, Enrolling Re
cruits for Final Quarter
of This Year

Raleigh, Sept. st. L. Grier, super
visor of CCC selection for the State
Board of Charities and Public We'll
fare, said Monday that it is not de-
finitely known how many recruits will
be enrolled in North Carolina for the
quarter beginning October 1, but that
he expected the number would be in
excess of 1900.
The enrolment for the quarter
which started on July 1 was only 1856
men. This small number was due to a
reorganization of the Civilian Conser-
walton Corps in accordance with leg
islation passed by the national Con-
gress.
1T is anticipated, Grier said, that
the regular quarterly enrolment to
take place in October will be one of
the most extensive that the CCC has
faced.
The number of vacancies will be
especially large in view of the fact
that under the new law all members
OF the Corps who will have reached
their Oath birthday on September 80
and all members who will have had
more than Is months service in the
Corps on that date will not be eligible
to reenroll.
All local experienced men" will
not be eligible to re-enroll unless they
are eligible for Redistribution as
juniors. September 80 will mark the
end of an enrolment period, and an
undetermined number of eligible men
will not wish to re-enroll, although
they will be eligible to do so, and re-
placements will be needed to compen-
safe for discharges for acceptance of
employment and for other reasons
during the quarter ending September
80.
