Raleigh, March 26.-(AP)-The
supreme court took under advise
ment today in appeal by group OF
Kinston taxpayers to test the con-
stitutionality of a law permitting
the organization of municipal hous-

John G. Dawson of Kinston argued
for the Kinston Housing Authority
that the act was legal and that the
Kinston city council and housing
authority had legally proceeded I'M
der the law. He said federal
grant of 100000 was being with

Jesse A. Jones, counsel for the

Sun Spots.
Here's what he said:
"The sun is gaseous, but, under
pressure of its own gravity, it's COM
dressed to about the consistency of
very hot asphalt tar. At its surface
IFS lncandeScent, but, at intervals,
some of the comparatively cooler in
terror stuff boils to the outside. These
bolings-up are known as sun spots
They're like few fresh shoveltuls
of coal onto a fire. They're going to
blaze up presently, but momcntarily
they're a cooling influence.
GAS they cool off the sun, the sun,
in turn, cools off our oceans, which
are our great solar radiator. Our
ocean streams Qike the Gulf and
Japan currents) swish this coolish-
ness from earthly shore to shore, thus
affecting our weather.
"Periods of sun spots are pretty
regularly at l1-year intervals.
"If mundane forecasters keep track
of the SUMS spottiness, they can make
at least seasonal predictions very re-
liably That is to say, they may not
be able to predict an individual
storm, but they can predict a wet or
a dry, cold or hot season.

Paris, March 26-(AP)-Paul

his countrymen today that Frances

In his first address to his country

last week, Reynaud thus broadly
limited that the republic planned i'm

against Germany.
rae acknowledged that for time
France had faced a political "crisis"
of which he said Germany had
sought to make full use in propa-

country was strong and united.
The premier accused Hitler Of

man at his post-and this duty is
being DONE"
France will go ahead with the
soul of fighter, with the soul Of

Re-stating Frances position that
Germany bore the responsibility for
starting the war, he recalled Hitler's
march into the Rhineland, the alb
sorption of Austria, Czechoslovakia
and part of Poland.
Then he went on:
Shall we allow the enemy to be
strengthened by these conquests so
that liberty will disappear?

Sinking Of two German merchant

The weeks record for Britain was
