Sen. Guffey Headache
To New Dealers

repudiate his utterances, becalDe he's
so conspicuously on their side.
What's set them especially jittery
of late was the speech the Pennsyl-
vanian made the other day in favor
Of a Rooseveltian third term. In it.
self his third term declaration was
o. k. That was in line with lot of
New Deal sentiment 1t was the sena-
tors threat of the dire consequences
he predicts if the present White
House tenant doesn't get four years
more that upsets New Dealerism.
In the event of a Rooseveltian re-
nomination next year, ''F. D.'S' sup
porters are quite aware that his op-
ponents will set up a dictatorship
cry. Their policy naturally will be to
pooh-pooh this suggestion.
Senator Guffey, however, warns
that We'll have third term-or else,
in effect, revolution. "There'll be, %
he says, IAN upheaval which will
sweep away all politicians and all
big business"
Quite few New Dealers don't like
this hint, coming from one of them
selves. They interpret it as implying
that we have our choice between a
third term and totalitarianism-an
they suspect that the public will re-
gard the two as amounting to about
the same thing.

They wouldn't have cared if Sena-
tor Glass, for instance, had said that
third term would be equivalent to
tOtalitarianism. They'd have answer
ed, "Phooey!n
But they can't answer 'Phooey!"
when one of their own crowd fore
casts third term or revolution.
In short, the third termers and
New Dealers ardently wish that SEN
ator Guffey had kept his trap shut
or use it more judiciously, anyway.
Guffey, l may say, is regarded in
New Deal circles as friend, but not
as an asset-they almost would rath-
er have him in the opposition camp

The race for the Antarctic is on.
When President Roosevelt commits
stoned Admiral Richard E. Byrd to
head a government-fnanced expedi-
tion into the polar region, he made
it plain that the United States is
definitely interested in claiming Sec
tions of the vast ice-covered area.
In many respects, Byrd's forth
coming return to Antarctica will be
in the nature of a race against Nazi
Germany, which recently claimed
25O,O0O square miles east Of the
Weddell Sea. Great Britain, Nor
way, Australia, France and Russia
are also interested in the polar re-
gions, but not to the extent Of rush
ing an expedition.
Admiral Byrd begins his prepara-
tions with $4,000 appropriated by
Congress, 100000 which he raised,
and other private capital. Byrd
calculates the cost Of the expedition
at approximately $1,0O0,O00.

Lawyers And Accoun-

and settlement of tax cases before
quasi-judicial tax commissions and
boards constituted practice of law.
They thought some attorney ought
to get a fee out of every such case.
It was further contended by support
ers of the bill which became law that
the 1889 act really did not change
any of the statutory requirements for
legal practice, but merely put the
burden of enforcing the existing law
upon the State Bar as an agency OF
the State.
Insurance companies, particularly
companies majoring in casualty in
surance,- have contended that their
adjusters are mostly licensed attor-
neys, and that it simplifies matters
both for the company and the bene-
ficiary under the policy to settle
claims as promptly as possible. Such
companies deny that their adjusters
are engaging in unauthorized or il
legal practice of law. The lawyers
generally also have a grievance be-
cause of the trust departments of
banks with salaried attorneys doing
most of the work. Probably the chief
grievance, however, has been against
accountants appearing as attorneys
before tax commissions.
The association of certified public
accountants in their convention at
Richmond last month authorized ap-
pointment of a committee to work
with a similar committee from the
bar association to iron out diff
ferences in this field, if and when a
similar committee was named by the
bar association. The North Carolina
Bar Association at its Wrightsville
convention two weeks ago accepted
report of its committee on unauthOr-
lied law practice, suggesting that if
the association desired to name such
a committee it should be sub-com-
mittee of the larger group. 1t was
further recommended that the main
committee be enlarged to include a
member from each judicial district.
And there the matter stands at pres
ent.
1t is sort of a tempest in teapot,
anyhow. Lawyers far out-number ac-
countants in North Carolina, but a
very small percentage of each pro-
fession specializes in tax matters
There are approximately $500 law
yers who can legally practice in
North Carolina by virtue of having
paid the required fee to the State
Bar, Inc. There are just few more
than 100 accountants certified to
practice by virtue of having paid
their fees to the State Board of Ac-
countancy. Reliable information is
that not more than twenty or thirty
lawyers and not more than fifteen or
twenty accountants give special at
tention to tax practice. 1t is of little
consequence to the vast majority of
practitioners in both professions, but
they all claim that principle is in
volved and all are desirous of having
some workable agreement.
Both the State Bar, Incorporated,
and the State Board of Accountancy
are agencies of the State of North
Carolina with power to grant and
revoke licenses, and leading members |
of the professions here expect that |
the steps now being taken toward
cooperating committees will bring
about solution of the problems.
