Along Elm Street
GREENSBORO, N. C.By Capt. D. j. GII.MER

Kind reader did you ever
study or know, the legend of
a city's sidewalk? / wonder If
the word conventionality would
not be better word here than
the word legend. If you are a
student ask your teacher what
is the conventionality, and if he
does not tell you, ask your pas
tor.
However, Mr.. Fred Thompson
writer of the Greensboro Record,
comes as nearly living up to the
conventionality of the city's
curb line as any man l know. He
is a gentleman. He is equipped
for great service, TIL e equip
ment being genral efficiency and
absolute fairness. There are
but few men in the world who
are efficient in every way, such
as what we mean by genuine eff
cnecy.
At a house reception recently
a colored man, a physician of an
out of state city, criticized
many of the states Negro lead
ers for not getting the state to
send Negro students to Howard
university and Meharry medical
college in Tennessee rather than
to slyly encourage an agitation
for the purpose of a bi-university
training at a Negro school,
something that might hurt a
boys educational reputation in
his chosen profession.

Huey Long Henchmer
Placed on Trial as
Conspiracy Ring
Weiss and Former Head
OF l. S. u. Accused of
Plot to MuIct State

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 5-The
Federal Government called Seymour
Weiss, treasurer for the late Huey
P. Longs political machine, and
four others to trail today.
This was the first move toward
actual conviction of the several per-
sons accused since the Government
began an investigation of financial
affairs in the State government.
Summoned with Weiss was DR..
James Monroe Smith, former presi-
dent of Louisiana State University.
1t was the resignation of Smith and
his subsequent hurried trip to Can
ada which precipitated the probes
that have been going on all sum-
mer.
The indictments on which Weiss
and Smith came to trial with Monte
Hart, Louis c. Lesage and j. Emory
Adams, alleged the five conspired to
sell to the State University for
$4,000 hotel furnishings (of New
Orleans Bienville) which the uni
VerSlCy aready owned. Misuse OF
the mails was charged.
Hart Is New Orleans contractor.
Lesage was suspended as assistant
to the president of the Standard Oil
Co. of Louisiana. Adams is a
nephew of DR.. Smith.
DR.. Smith has been indicted more
than 40 times on a variety of
charges since his return, under
guard, from Canada. Among the
charges were those which alleged he
misused huge sums of university
funds for market speculation.
Sensational developments which
followed DR.. Smiths resignation in
cluded the resignation of Richard
w. Leche as governor and the eleva-
ton of Earl K. Long, brother of
Huey, from the lieutenant governor
ship.
Leche later was indicted in con-
nection with oil operations, which
the Government declared were IL
legal.

less expense. without the denial of
necessary relief
AS to the Federal Government
responsibilities and its place in a
scheme of relief, the committee says:
THE Federal Government should
gradually withdraw from the relief
field It should conflne its part to
rendering supplementary financial
assistance to State and local gov
ernments when their resources are
inadequate to finance essential re-
lief"
AS to methods of relief, the COM
mittee takes the view that choice
between work relief and direct relief
should be left to the discretion of
local authorities who are familiar
with the relief needs of their respec-
tive communities.
Reduction Seen Possible.
Substantial withdrawal of the
Federal Government from the relief
field, the committee insists, would
materially reduce Federal expendi-
tures-a much to be desired end.
Consequently, the committee recon-
mends that the Federal Government
release to the States part or all of
certain revenue sources which the
Federal Government has now pre-
empted. 1t mentions particularly in
this connection the estate taxes,
which the committee insists properly
belong to the States. 1t proposes
material modification of the Fed
eral levies on estates and incomes,
together with the repeal of certain
Federal excise taxes. In this way
the tax field open to the States
would be greatly widened.
The report asserts that the Fed
eral Governments method of dis
tributing relief funds to State and
local units has led to unfortunate
results. 1t has been a matter of
common knowledge, the report says,
that funds have been appropriated
by Congress and that the admins
tration is ready to allocate generous
amounts. Efforts to obtain such
funds become competitive, a poten-
tial receiving unit asking for large
sums on the theory that if it does
not get the money known to be
available some other State or COM
munity will. The only proper cri-
terion for the allotment of Federal
funds, that is, the actual need for
money, thus becomes obscured and
is not, in many cases, the determin-
ing factor"
