Some Question As To Bonds, But Channel of Recovery Blocked Washington, Feb. 18? Uncer tainty over the status of Federal tonds lingered In many minds to night after the Supreme Court had otherwise completely sustained the New Deal in the all-important gold cases. Dropping into ^pother of its fa mous five-to-four line-ups ? one that caused President Roosevelt and his aides gleefully to scrap elaborate plans for counter-action ? the high court ruled: It* Killing That Congress had power to nullify promises to pay in gold contained in the bonds of private corporations ; ? That a gold certificate is worth only its face value In present de valued currency. That Congress acted unconstitu tionally In abrogating the gold payment clause of the govern ment's own bonds; but "*" That in the case brought to court, the bondholder had not shown, nor attempted tp show, that he had suffered actual dam age. and that therefore there was no basis for a suit for recovery. The last consideration puzzled the capital. Some argued that if John M. Perry, of New York, who brought the salt originally could now go to the court of claims and show actually incurred damages, his suit must be entertained. AH Settled An administration spokesman, on the oth?r hand, asserted all the issues had been settled. No damage had been proved, he said, and none could be proved in the futurp unless Congress later or ders the bonds redeemed in gold and permits a free market in that metal. This Is an Impossibility, he con tended, adding that therefore "the door is locked at all times to re covery on that basis." In the majority opinion deliver ed by Chief Justice Hughes, there were statements which, however, caused others to ponder the impli cations : "The action is for breach of contract," it said. As a remedv for breach of contract, plaintiff can recover no more than the loss he has suffered and of which he may rightfully complain. He is not entitled to be enriched. . . . "Plaintiff has not shown, nor attempted to show, that in relation to buying power he has sustained any Iosb whatsoever. On the con trary, in view of the adjustment of the internal economy to a single measure of value . . . the payment to the plaintiff of the amount which he demands would appear to constitute not a recoup ment of. loss in any proper sense, but an unjustified enrichment." Bowling Alley To Reopen John Atwood Newell Informs The Times that he has leased the Bowling Alley located in the Franklin Hotel building and will reopen and run same at the same location and assures good order. He will probably make the Alley a popular place among the young people. Western Carolina counties are laying plans to cooperate with the TV A agricultural pro gram through a series of community meetings held in the 15 counties affected.

" "Bright Eyes" Is Thrilling .Dramatic Story of Airport MascoT 'XT'~The~ Louisburg Theatre Thurs day and Friday, Feb. 28 and March 1. Shirley Temple, most sensation al screen discovery of the year, at last has '.'the perfect screen vehicle." That, at any rate, is tho gist of the enthusiastic advance accounts Which precede Fox Film's "Bright Eyes" to the Louisburg Theatre, where it will begin an engagement on Thursday, Feb ruary 28, for two days. Hollywood and New Pork havo previewed this newest of Shirloy'o films and have voted it a story ideally suited to the extraordinary talents of this child star. It was written especially for her and is described as a remarkably human and heart-warming narrative. The dramatic story of "Bright Eyes" was suggested to David Butler, director, by a real-life incident occurring at a commer cial airport near Los Angles. Ha told it to Sol M. Wurtzel, Fox Film producer, who at once grew enthusiastic about the idea as a vehicle for the remarkable child star. Butler and Edwin Burke, famous screen writer, collaborated on the story, which was then adapted to the screen by William Conselman. ? Butler himself has directed "Bright Eyes," and, according to advance reports, has done one of the most notable jobs of his career. "Bright Eyes" is said to be an entirely new type of vehicle for Shirley. Its action takes placa at a large commercial airport and in a wealthy Pasadena home near Iby, at the Christmas season. Among the features of the new ificture is Shirley's newest song [number, a rollicking number espe cially written for her by the noted team of Richard Whiting and Sld " ney Clare. Its title is "On th* ' Good Ship Lollipop." Shirley, it is reported, was over Joyed when she was informed that ' James Dunn would again be her ' pal and leading man in "Bright Eyes." It was with Dunn-, to whom she is devoted, that she appeared in "Baby Take a Bow" and "Stand Up and Cheer." Preview audiences have declared "Bright Eyes" to ba j their finest vehicle to date. Other members of Shirley's sup [ porting cast in her new starring ' film are Jane Darwell, who re cently scored a sensational hit in ,"Th,e White Parade"; Lois Wil 'sofi. Judith AlleV Theodore von ^ Eltz. Dorothy ' Christy, Charle* Sellon, Jane Withers. Brandon k Hurst, Walter Johnston and , George Jrving. FLAT ROCK B. Y. P. U.
