 Congressman Thomas A. Jenkins, Ohio Republican who introduced the bill that would wipe out the action of that 40-year-old court martial, remarks that the bulky record of Carter's case is the most fantastic thing he has ever studied
 For one thing, it shows that bril- liant Captain Carter had made enemies, both in the army and In political circles-high-ranking, pow erful enemies. It shows that he nev- CT got Q penny of graft. It indicates very strongly that ther was some thing extremely odd about both the court-martial that convicted him and the action of the reviewing ofiscer who sustained the sentence.
 And 1t shows lastly that an army court-martial is a law to itself. Garter fought all the way to the Supreme Court. and got final, definite ruling that a civil court cannot review the action of court ilisrtial--that the only remedy for a miscarriage of justice, no matter how fragrant 1t may be, through an act of Congress.

NORTH WILKESBORO, May
22.-T'he conspiracy cases in
which about 70 residents of An
tioch, Edwards, Somers and
Lovelace townships are charged
with conspiracy to violate the in
ternal revenue laws will be call
ed in federal court at Wilkesbo-

The cases collectively consti-
tute one of the biggest actions
ever before the court at Wilkes

The case originated about 3
year ago from operations of an
undercover agent who is said tc
have gained the confidence OF
those who made and transported
liquor and gained his information
for the mass arrests from the
''inside'.
Government and defense attor-
neys would not make any pre-
diction relative to the time need
ed to try the case and the ex-
pected time for taking evidence
on the many counts in the leng-
thy bills of indictment.

Glover SOwn
For Pastures
Crimson Clover SOwn Before
Rain Falls Proves Very
Satisfactory.

Seeding crimson clover seed
lust before the fall rains direct
ly on pastures without breaking,
scarifying, or otherwise disturb
ing the existing vegetation and
sod will produce satisfactory
stand, according to F. R. Rarn-
ham, dairyman of the State Col
lege Extension Service.
The dairyman made this an
nouncement after gathering suf-
ficient data from approximately
SO demonstration plots seeded to
crimson clover late last fall in
Piedmont and Western North
Carolina.
Commenting on this innova-
ton, Farnham said: ''This prac-
tice is of utmost Importance to
all livestock growers, especially
dairy farmers. It will mean le-
gume soil builder that thrives
during the cool weather and pro-
vides one of the best grazing
plants for dairy cows. At the
same time, no off flavors will
be transmitted to the milk"
Farnham pointed out the ex-
perience of the McKeever dairy
farm in Mcdowell County as a
good example of what can be
done with the practice Last
year, Farm Agent S. L. Home
wood seeded a small plot over a
blue grass sod on this farm, and
even though the clover was put
in during the last of November;
a good stand was secured, AS a
result of this demonstration, Ag-
ent Homewood says ten acres OF
blue grass on this farm will re-
ceive around 200 pounds OF
crimson clover merit September.
In Haywood County, where
this practice is we'll established
arrangements have been made tc
seed hundreds of acres of the clo-
yer on permanent pastures next
fall. Farm Agent R. R. Smith
wick and Assistant Agent J. l.
Reitzel have placed Haywood al
the top among those counties
where the practice has been
adopted.

Federal Judges
Salary Is Held
Liable To Taxes

WASHINGTON, May o. The
Supreme court, in a 7 to l deci-
sion today, decided the federal
income tax applied to the sala-
ries of it's own members and
those of all other federal judges.
The decision meant that there
is no longer any class of public
office-holder who can claim in
come tax immunity under the
constitution because on March q
the court decided that federal and
state employees, other than judg-
es, have no such immunity.
Today's decision, like the ear
lier one revised precedent. It had
long been the view that a con-
stitutional provision exempted
federal judges from the tax. In
fact, such an opinion was express
sed in a Supreme court decision
in 1920.
Judges Also Citizens"
But Justice Frankfurter, deliv-
ering the majority opinion today,
said that to subject the jurists to
a general tax is merely to recog-
nize that judges are also citizens,
and that their particular function
in government does not generate
an immunity from sharing with
their fellow citizens the material
burden of the government whose
constitution and laws they are
charged with administrators

Most of the pieces are designed
along modern lines in rather light

and a gingham checked rayon taf-

sturdy upholstering. however, pre-
vent any impractical look.
The full beauty of the furniture
Is brought out by the background
the walls are painted a smooth, eye
filling tone of blue-green. The color
scheme of the room. incidentally, is
royal blue and Kelly green, giving
a pleasantly affirmative answer to
the question so many women ask.
Can blue and green be used to-
gether?'

The loveseat is simply tailored in
Kelly green linen, with buttons and
scallops piped in blue going down
the sides and back. The lounge
chair is of the same design in re-
verse treatment-green scallops and
buttons on blue linen.
For frilly note there's a petit
coat chair in white floWered chintz
with ruffles around the arms and
bottom. in keeping with the newest
petticoat fashion. The pull-up chair
Is in green and white checked ravon

is circular glass-topped coffee table
