National Coal Act
Under Amusement
Injunction and
Penalty Tax Also
Involved in Arkunsus
BY the Associated Press.


LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Feb. l6.-A
three Judge Federal Court has un-
der advisement a suit brought by
the Sunshine Anthracite Coal Co. OF
Clarksville, Ark. challenging for the
first time the National Bituminous
Coal Act.
Also under submission is a Gov
trnment motion that the court term
mate, upon its verdict in the case
q temporary Injunction obtained by
the hrm restraining collection of q
penalty tax for alleged non-com-
pliance with the code set up by the
statute.
AfIidavits Filled.
Robert E. Sher, special assistant
to the United States Attorney Cen
eral, was given permission by the
tribunal to file two affidavits sup
porting the motion when the court
concluded an all-day hearing of the
suit yesterday.
The temporary injunction, now In
force, restraints the internal revenue
collector from collecting a levy o1
1875 per cent on coal produced by the
company, which is non code men,
Der under terms Of the statute.
Mr.. Sher indicated that If an ap-
peal from the three-judge court
were taken quickly it would be pos
sible for the United States Supreme
Court to rule on the case at this
term.
The hearing of the suit rested on
the company's petition for a per-
manent injunction to prevent collec-
ton Of the penalty levy.
Members Of Court.
The court was composed of Circuit
Judge Joseph w. Woodrough, Oma-
ha, Nebr., and District Judges T. c.
Trimble and Harry J. Lemley.
Company counsel contended that
Congress had no intention Of penal
tzing q non-code member in passing
the act. the statute was "ambig-
uous," and that the company's prod
.uct. was semi-anthracite, not bitum-
-inous.
The court previously had upheld q
Government contention that Sun.
shine mined bituminous coal under
terms of the act.

Miss jamie Baldwin, 40, I'm
dergoing Treatment In

LUMBERTON, March 49, Miss

night was in a critical condition at
the Thompson Memorial hospital
here where she is undergoing treat
ment for extensive burns received
today when she attempted to throw
a pan of flaming gasoline from her
kitchen.
Her two-year-old niece, Mollie
Baldwin, was given treatment at
the hospital here for burns about
the face and body and was later
released.
Miss Baldwin's brother, Frank
Baldwin, said that she was clean
ing some old paint brushes with
the gasoline and after she had fin.
ished the work she set the pan of
gasoline on a stove.
When the flames flared up, she
attempted to run out the back door
with the pan, but in doing so she
spilled the gasoline flames over
both her and the child, Baldwin
said. All of Miss Baldwin's clothing
was burned from her body, he said,
She was given only a slim chance
