tion of dams.
 The group will seek $5o0,000 for the construction of fish hatcherieS below the Bonneville dam and an nual appropriations of S150,O00 each for Oregon and Washington for arr tificial propagation of salmon.
 The meeting was attended by fishermen, packers and officials of the Oregon Fish Commission and the Washington Department of Fisheries.
 Appropriations will be asked in lieu of damages that, it was assert ed, have already been done and will be done in the future to salmon runs by the Bonneville, Grand Cou- lee and Rock Island dams, built along the Columbia River as Fed eral projects.
 The claim for damages is based on the contention that fish are the property of the States.

SLOT MACHINES
MAY BE SEIZED
Judge j. A. Rousseau Held That
Machines Are Prohibited by
Law and May Be Destroyed

North Wilkesboro, April IT,
Judge j. A. Rousseau, resident judge
OF the 18th judicial district, today
dissolved an order restraining the
sheriff of Wilkes county from seiz-
ing and destroying slot machines.
The order was taken out about 10
days ago by two slot machine oper-
ators and J. H. Wicker appeared as
their attorney. On the contention
that the law passed by the 1887
Legislature does not go into effect
until July l, and that it immediately
repealed the slot machine law of
1885, Attorney Wicker indicated
that Judge Rousseau's decision may
be appealed to the Supreme Court
Judge Rousseau held that the ma
chimes in question were gambling
devices prohibited by law and that
the sheriff had legal right to seize
and destroy them.

European Nations May
Intervene in Civil War
Plans Are Made to Withdraw
Fore gners Who're Fighting
sisSpain's Civil War
~ CGINTRIEs ENTER PACT

Last week land and sea patrol
of the Spanish borders became eff
fective by order of a subcommittee
of the International non-interven-
ton COZ sittee.
The Coasts of Spain are to be
watched by warships of the nations
participating in the "hands-off-
Spain" agreement to prevent land
ing of arms and men for either side
in the civil war, while frontier
agents are to keep watch by land
so it was reported Thursday.
For the first time, the week
brought from Europe news of talk
of mediation in the Spanish war.
Such talk was heard by official
French circles in Paris, according to
Thursday reports. The talk was that
the time might be ripe for mediation
under the sponsorship of the great
European powers.
The 27-nation "hands-off-Spain"
committee Thursday night appoint
ed a subcommittee to consider
plans for the withdrawal of foreign
volunteers now fighting in the
Spanish war.
By seemingly burying the Ratchet
over Spain, Italy and Russia paved
the way Thursday for non-interven-
ton committee deliberations on a
plan to withdraw all foreigners from
the civil war.

Keep Eye on Black
Widow is Warning

Reports that hundreds" of Black
Widow spiders have been seen in
North Carolina during the last week
caused c. H. Brannon, state depart
ment of agriculture entomologist, to
issue the following warning:
Remembering, when you have
one eye on the black widow spider,
she has eight on you"
At this, time of year, the entomol-
ogist said, the spiders are reaching
maturity, developing appetites and
crawling from their "lairs in dark
basement corners"
"Why they've even invaded the
kitchen of the North Carolina Con-
federate Soldiers home here" Bran
non stated, land hundreds were
found in and around radio trans
hitting station near here"
Bite Seldom Fatal
Although the sting of black wild
ow seldom is fatal, he explained
Exceedingly painful and very seri-
GUS systematic disturbances may re-
suit. Only the female spider does the
biting"
A black widow, he said, may be
distinguished from other spiders by
its black coat and red hour-glass
mark beneath the abdomen.
''There is very little immediate
pain at the point where the spider
attacks and no swelling other than
a whitish veal" he said. However
soon after, varying from a minute
to an hour or more, pain develops
If the bite is on the finger the ach'
ing pain ascends the arm to the
shoulder and spreads to the chest
then usually extends to the hips anc
the abdomen may become rigid. Re
gardless of the point of the bite, the
pain usually centers in the abdomin
al region"
He recommended undiluted creo
sote oil as spray to kill the blacl
widow.

lures and break the log-jam of legis-
lation without raising the already
heavy tax burden now imposed on
our citizens.
But with it all, the fact remains
that if our citizens generally de-
mand large relief funds and other
Federal funds for new projects, they
must beprepared to pay the bill.
Thus, the expenditure and tax sit
uation in Congress is of serious con-
Germ. This is true despite the fact
that many thoughtful persons are
beginning to realize that Govern
ments as individuals must find
means Giving within the income. y
Any other course brings situation
that may be postponed indefinitely
by heavy borrowings and other Fed
eral financing but one which cannot
be fully corrected until Federal ex-
penditures are no greater than the
taxes collected.
The Presidents anticipated relief
measure will, of course, be an indi-
cation of the future on relief and
taxes. When it is made public, il
should be studied by every person
concerned with the national welfare
And individuals can do much by
frankly facing the situation anc
realizing that the time has come
when, with recovery here and great
err improvement ahead, the Federal
Government must economic as in
dividuals haev been forced to do tc
place their affairs on a sound fisca
basis. It is obvious that every posi-
BILE means will be utilized to prevent
wholesale tax legislation being
thrown into the already muddlec
Congressional situation.
Whether this effort will be sue
cessful will depend largely on the
developments in the next 30 days.

UNITED STATES SENATOR

The intense Congressional Interest
in the Presidents court plan, sit.
down strikes and other problems Of
national concern, do not overshadoW
the fact that before the end of the
present session, members of Con.
gress must make highly important
decision. That decision is whether
Federal expenditures shall be de.
creased or whether they shall be
maintained at present or even high
er levels and new taxes levied tc
provide the necessary unds.
Before this article appears, OF
shortly thereafter, a relief message
is expected from the President
which will undoubtedly clarity the
budget and tax outlook. Strong
pressure is being exerted for cur
tailment of relief expenditures
Equally strong sentiment favors ex-
panding relief, and there is no small
amount of pressure for curtailment
of Federal expenditures in all lines
There is virtually no sentiment for
new taxes.
The present indications are that
the President will fix relief funds at
the lowest possible amount consis-
tent with the widespread national
needs Thus, if the amount recon-
mended by the President is increas-
ed, it will be due to the pressure ex-
erted upon members of Congress by
their constituents. In other words
the choice of whether the Govern
ment expenses shall be lowered OF
taxes increased is with the Ameri-
can people.
Under the pressure of relief de-
mands, it is an open secret that "be.
hind the scenes" consideration is be.
ing given to how new taxes may be
raised, should they be necessary. Ir
some circles there is even the sug'
gestion of a general sales tax, which
has ben bitterly opposed in the past
In other circles there are sugges
tons for higher excise taxes. But al
members of Congress have clearly
evidenced their desire to do every
thing possible to make new taxes
unnecessary.
President Roosevelt has expressed
the hope that there will be no new
taxes levied. Nevertheless, relic
needs continue heavy and attention
must be given to farm tenancy anc
housing legislation. AS I have said
/ tax legislation seems imminent, anc
new sources of revenue are being
studied.
Excise taxes now in effect, includ
ing the Federal gasoline tax, and
score of other levies, are scheduled
to expire on June 80. Recommends

they be reenacted for another tenn
porary period, despite the admitted
unfairness of some of these taxes

much feeling as legislative generals
map plans, form their lines, and
prepare for the Zero hour" of vot-
ing on measures that affect all our
citizens.
The situation in Congress is all
the more acute because Congress
sional procedure is naturally affect
ed by the acts of the legislative and
judicial branches of the Govern
ment. What will be the final Gov
eminent policy with regard to the
sit-down strikers that may cause
concern in the South?What changes,
if any, will be made in the Presi-
dents court plan before it comes up
in Congress for a vote? What will
the Supreme Court do with regard
to the Labor Relations Act, which is
certain to influence action on the
court plan? Not even the most op-
timistic member of Congress will at
tempt to answer these questions to-
day. And they must be answered be-
fore the present uncertainty in Con-
gress gives way to certainty-that is
before the objective of the "big
drive" is clear.
AS a result, members of Congress
are unable to give satisfactory an
swers to many questions raised by
constituents. They are unable to
hazard a guess as to what will be
done about this or that. They find it
difficult to form their own final de-
cisions.
The reason is simple. It is because
factors outside of Congress are per-
haps more than ever before having
a strong effect on legislation. In 9TH
er words, conditions that are acute
| today may become less serious to-
morrow and make drastic legislation
unnecessary. However, they may be-
come more serious and require swift
movement in the "big drive
! Whatever else may be said, it can
be stated that the President is keen
ly alive to the situation and his rec
ord for action clearly indicates that
he will be ready to move at NOM
ent's notice. The fact that all his
plans have not been disclosed does
not minimize their sweeping char
acter. 1t has been amply demon
strated that our people by and
large have confidence in the Presi-
dents recommendations and that
the Congress, in the final analysis,
will be in accord with his more I'M
portant policies. This will be more
in evidence during the weeks ahead
Our people should not be alarmed
by the evidences of the present un-
certainty in the legislative branch
of the Government. 1t is in reality q
most hopeful sign. It indicates that
members of Congress are studying
and weighing the various proposals
1t is sign that members have the
courage of their own convictions as
to what is best for the country. AND
it is refreshing indication that this
is not rubber stamp" Congress.
With it all is new evidence thai
the day of temporary .expedients tt
meet emergencies is over. The mere
fact that the Congress is moving
slowly toward final detectives i:
really hopeful sigma sign tina
the experience of the last decade
and all the lessons learned are no
being forgotten. That in itself
should allay many fears with regard
to Federal activities in the future.
