America May Set
Example Of Peace

President Roosevelt addressed the
governing board of the Pan-Ameri-
can Union of 81 American republics
in observance of Pan-American Day
last Wednesday in Washington.
Speaking to diplomats gathered in
the white marble Pan-American
building near the White House, the
President asked a pledge to give
practical effect to the 10 agreements
to advance peace, trade and pur-
chase, reached at the recent confer
ence in Buenos Aires.
Recalling his own attendance at
that conference, he said:
''The deepest impression which
carried away was the potency of
the unity of the Americas in devel-
oping democratic institutions in the
new world and by example in help
ing the cause of world peace"
The President said continued
maintenance and improvement of
democracy, mutual confidence and
positive cooperation form the most
important guarantees of a durable
world peace

lives in her sumptuous flat in New
York City, and is due here May /,
for the Chip Roberts party. One of
the reports is that Jimmie has his

and Doris are to look the Job list
over, so the Washington cave dwell
ers say, and Doris will decide what

Court Rules Social
Security Unlawful
Boston Court Says 1t Is Question
of States Rights; Program
to Be Continued

Slashing at the taxing aspect of
the social security act and declaring
a need for maintaining States
rights" the United States first cir
cult court of appeals Friday, in
Boston. Mass, ruled unconstitutional
both the unemployment insurance
and old age assistance provisions of
the social security act.
In a two-to-one decision the court
reversed a Federal district court on
both counts, upholding public util-
ity stakeholder, George P. Davis, of
Waltham, who sought to overthrow
the act.
"The entire plan, viewed as a
whole" the court declared, SIS an
attempt to do indirectly what Con-
gress cannot do directly, and to as
sumo national control over sub
ject clearly within the jurisdiction
of the States"
Hardly had the court ruled when
Thomas H. Eliot, of Cambridge,
general counsel for the Social Secur-
ity board and one of those who help
frame the act, came forward with a
statement that this was ''the first
reverse suffered by the Social Sc
curity act in the Federal courts" He
said:
"The Social Security program
will be continued to be carried out
as heretofore in the absence of any
adverse decision by the Supreme
Court"
In the decision handed down the
court majority said:
''The important issues, we think,
are whether the tax imposes (under
the unemployment insurance provi-
sion) can be termed an excise tax;
and whether the Federal govern
ment seek indirectly to control
State action in matters resting sole
ly within the powers reserved to the
States under amendment 10 of the
Constitution"

Russia Unable to
Buy Steel for Ships
United States and British Stee'
Companies Have All Orders
They Can Use Now

Soviet Russia purchases OF ma
terials for Warships ran into diff.
cultieS this week because, she learn
ed, some steel manufacturers are tee
busy filling domestic orders to both
er with foreign goods.
Nikolai Bogomoloff, soviet trade
leleate to Great Britain, returned to
Moscow with the news that British
firms are "swamped," handling
huge orders for that nations rearr,
ament program.
United States circles here heard
that Amtorg, Russian trading cor
ooration, was unable to renew a
steel order with one company in the
United States because of heavy do
nestle demands. The company was
said to have offered a premium to
be released from delivering a previ-
Gus order.
The soviet commissariate of de-
tense declined to comment on a
state department announcement in
Washington that two American
firms had asked permission to fill
Russian orders for battleship ma
terials.
The talk in Moscow is that Russia
wants to build new warships be-
cause of the rapid development of
her merchant marine and recent
evidence that the present navy can
not protect that merchant marine in
such waters as those of Spain.

Bees Minus Sting
May Be Produced

DR.. Lloyd r. Watson said in New
York this week that if he fails in his
attempt to produce stingless bees he
at least hopes to develop bees so
polite they won't use their singers.
For by cross-breeding, Alfred uni
versity's famous bee expert hopes to
be able to improve the disposition
of even the most even tempered
bees.
And thereby protect both the
skin and the nerves of human be-
ings," DR.. Watson added.
The Cyprian bee-a native of Cy-
prus-is one of the toughest custo-
mers in the bee world, Alfred's
apiarist said. But for real, genuine
cruelty, he added, there is one bee
which surpasses the Cyprian, and
that is the giant bee of India.
'"These are so devilish that if a
man comes near hive of them they
will follow him as far as quarter
of mile, and will sting him until
he is unconscious or dead"
There is no explaining the "per-
sonalities" of bees, DR.. Watson said.
Like men and women, bees may
be gentle or vicious. However, bees
of the same species tend to have
similar dispositions" he said.
zone relatively harmless bee is
found in Central America and Mex
leo. 1t has no singer. But it bites as
our ant does.

Asheville Resident
Helped Search for
John Wilkes Booth
Union Army Veteran Joined in
Intense Search for Slayer of
President Abe Lincoln

Lyman Austin, who was born in
the Bronx when that section of New
York was composed of farms and
who aided in the search for Abra-
ham Lincoln's assassin, celebrated
his 9th birthday in Asheville this
week.
The Union army veteran moved to
Asheville ~ years ago and engaged
in carpentry for Is years and was
one of the Workmen on the old Bat
terry Park hotel, which in the early
1905 was a tourist mecca atop a
nco,-rtain in the heart Ct town.
Austin recalled that he was a
member Of a Union battery station
ed at Washington the night John
Wilkes Booth fired from the stage
into a box at Ford'S theater and ia
tally wounded President Lincoln.
after Mr.. Lincoln was wounded, -
the man continued, 1--WE were called
out and told of it, but we didn't
know just then how serious it really
was.
"When the commanding officers
lad finished reading the notice of
his Wounding we were ordered to
try to find the assailant There were
1O4 of us, and we were divided into
smaller groups. We departed with
order to arrest everyone in the vi
cinity of Washington who might be
able to give us any information as to
the whereabouts of the man who
had committed the crime
"This went on for several weeks,
and we were still hunting when the
word came that Booth had been
killed in barn in Virginia"
Austin was born in 1910. He said
the section which later became the
Bronx was a stretch then Of ploWed

Oklahoman Enjoys

Is So Used to Death for Others
Executioner Does Not Fear

Rich Owen, grizzled Oklahoma

at the idea of sparing the feelings
of prison guards by "humanizing'

lions, the veteran state executioner
declared he couldn't understand
why the feelings of the guards had
to be protected.

Of work for the right man," he said,
because somebody's gonna have to
do it anyway. If it bothers man he

ut never bothered me-" he said.
Under the Cook county method,
tried for the first time yesterday at
a triple execution, four regular Jail
guards concealed from the doomed
prisoner pulled switches simultane-
ously. Only one sent electric current
through the prisoners body.
"It won't work." Owen declared,
because they'll burn their man up.
IF you're hidden from your man
you can't watch him and decide how
much juice he can take. One man
can take lot more than another.
You have to keep an eye on him and
keep the current regulated so he
won't fry.
with too much juice you can
ourn a man to a crisp in 40 seconds. "
Owens lack of awe for death is
not confined to other mems lives.
He recently quelled an attempted
prison break by offering his own
life as a sacrifice.
When desperate convicts, holding
4 prison dirk to his throat, ordered
lower guards to throw down their
guns, or they would stab him, Owen
roared:

Cut in WPA List
Is Not Going Fast
Only 24,42S Workers Dropped
When 100000 Has Been
Set for Goal

A report of the Works Progress
administration disclosed last week
that curtailment of its rolls was lag
ging far behind the schedule an
nounced by Administrator Harry
Hopkins.
In the month preceding March 20,
the report showed 24,426 workers
dropped Hopkins proposed to trim
the total by 100000 between mid
winter and June l.
On March 20, the WPA reported,
there were 2,134,O0O WPA workers
in the continental United States. In
addition, 100000 persons were en-
ployed in Civilian Conservation
corps camps and $4,000 in other
Federal work relief activities.
The WPA figure were made pub
lie while Congress waited for Presi-
dent Roosevelt's recommendations
for relief in the next fiscal year,
which begins July l. His message is
scheduled this week.
In his January budget message,
the President said that, exclusive of
debt retirement, next years budget
could be balanced if relief expendi-
lures did not exceed 1851, 100000.
WPA officials have estimated
that expenditures during the cur
rent fiscal year would run between
$1,SOO,O 100000 and 81 1850, 900. They
said this would compare with an
outlay of $1,715,OOO,OOO last year.

Bootlegggers to Vote for
Strict Liquor Control
First Elections Being Held This
Week; Outcome Of Voting
Will Be Watched
HAVEN FOR BOOTLEGGERS

Raleigh, April 18.-Liquor cleo
lions in the several counties due to
hold them may impinge again on the
bootleggers' vote, but this time, &C
cording to the sophisticated drys,
the 'leggers will vote wet and get
exactly what they wish.
The oversight will be charged up
to the controllers who in their zeal
to make sales to habitues and crinll-
mails more difficult, have fixed it so
that the bootleggers will get theirs.
The new laws are now on the press
and proof sheets are being read.
There will be copies of the liquor
control act available in few days.
But the text of that law shows that
the convicted drunks, men who have
lost their licenses to drive automo-
biles or who have caused accidents,
Or who have been found drunk, will
be denied the right to purchase Ii
ouor from the ABC store.
Here, the drys say, is the paradise
of the bootleggers. There will be
many of these convicted persons.
There will be thousands who have
been drunk and have paid their
costs il the courts. When they set
out to get their liquor they will find
that they can't get it legally. The
bootleggers will have prepared for
them. Hence it is contended that the
illicit dealers will thrive as natur-
al corollary. There will be great
stimulus to the bootlegger as the re-
suit Of the law which is meant to
punish him.
There are several counties now
which have made concessions to To-
cal conditions caused by the illegal
dealers. Numerous stores are stay
ing open later at night and getting
the helated trade that has been 60
ins 10 the bootleggers. But the drys
male the point that the convicted
drivers, the men with revoked Ii
censes, the men and women who are
under ban, must get their liquor.
Naturally they will run to their ia
vorite boCtleggers. And the Difficult
ties of enforcement will be made
greetcr.
Ii was the conviction of the lead
inc sririts in the control legislation
that there should be every possible
encouragement given to the abste-
micusncSs, For that reason the en-
phasis was laid upon control and
every penalty was thrown about the
man who does not carry his liquor
well. But the drys say the vets have
played into the outlaws hands.
Roctlcggers Changing
Many legislators who were here
during the recent session said that
in TIE elections under the Williams
act of 1885 the bootlegers almost to
a man joined with the drys in vot-
ing against ABC stores. There were
a few exceptions. Some Of the boot
1ec@ers fearing prosecutions for past
offeosas joined the vets in seeking
Immunity But there are drys now
who viii wager a very great deal
that the bootleggers will not get
caught this time. They will vote for
the ABC stores, get their immunity,
ard later the trade of liquor drink
ers who no longer can get legal
liquor.
The first elections under the 1887
act are set for this week and every
body is watching the outcome
