WAJHINCTC Washington, May 20. ? The Pre-j sideut of the United States, who ever he may be, seldom hears the' truth. Some presidents resent hav ing the truth told to them it the facts do not fit in with their Ideas or the policies which they are try ing to put Into effect. Other pre sidents have striven earnestly to| learn the truth but have been so surrounded with "yes men" andj advisers who have their own axes to grind that they have failed to get a true picture of the state of the public mind. In some such language as has Just been set down, Presldept, Koosevelt'p sincere well-wisher^ are seeking to explain his recent expressions of distrust of the pat riotism and sincerity of business organizations which have disap proved some of the measures which he is urging upon Congress, and some of the experiments* which have been made by Govern ment in the past twd years. "Everybody except the Presi-1 dent knows that NRA is as dead as Prohibition," is an expression, commonly heard here. It is com mon knowledge that the Codes have proved unworkable, except perhaps In the case of a very few basic industries concerned with natural resources. Publishers Oppose Codes The latest group to denounce tbe Codes are the newspaper pub lishers of the nation. First the dailies, operating under their own Code, then the country papers and printing shops, under another Code, declared in their annual con rentions that they could not go along unless drastic changes werej made, changes which, In effect,' would nullify the Codes. One Federal Court after anoth-' er has declared one Code after: another unconstitutional. The Su preme Court has decided in the "hot oil" case that Congress has no power to delegate legislative authority, and that decision knocked one of the main props out from under the whole Code system. Enough intimations hare been given from the Supreim bench to lead to the beliet thai' when its decision comes down. In | two or three weeks, in the Schech ter chlckenbutcher case, It will be to deny the right of Congress to exercise any control whatever overl any business conducted entirely within a state. The Clark Resolution The Senate had taken notice of all such things, and its leaders, had twice served notice on the President that they would not g<> along with him on the two-year1 ektension of NRA, which he had asked for. They helped fim "save; face" by adopting the Clark reso lution, extending the NKA for nine months after. expires by law on June 16, with all price-fixing pre visions and control of lntra-state commerce eliminated. Senator Bennett Clark of Mis souri, son of the late Speaker Champ Clark, Is as shrewd a poli tician as was his distinguished father. He told the President of public sentiment In regard to NKA. The adoption will amount to the disintegration of NRA, for there will not be time, in the ten nionthB allowed under the Clark resolution, to revise any material number of Codes, and therefore most of them will Just "peter out", as Prohibition enforcement did. Predict Karly Adjournment All the political prophets look for similar compromises on the rest of the Administration's pro gram, ajid for adjournment of Congress by early July. There will be plenty more agitation for im mediate payment of the veterans' bonus, backed by the strongest "pressure bloc" in the nation. The best bet Is that nothing will come of It this session. The House probably will pass) the bill for revision of the Agricul tural Adjustment Administration In much the form In which it is banded to them, but It is likely to strike some pretty difficult snags in the Senate. That is the case, also, with the Administration's banking bill, which the House has passed about as It was drafted by Mr. Eccles, Governor of the Federal Reserve ?Board. In the Senate, however. It Is facing the powerful opposition of Senator Glass of Virginia, Secretary of the Treasury in the Wilson Administration. Lined up with Senator Glass is Senator Harry Byrd of Virginia, who heads up also the Senate op position to the AAA. Senators Byrd and Glass are both farmers, Mr. Byrd being the largest apple grower in the East, with a 10,000 acre orchard, and Senator Glass having one of the finest dairy farms In America. Work Belief Takes Shape Work-relief plans are Uklng shape. It Is thought that perhaps half of the 4 billion dollar appro priation may be speilt within a year. Harry Hopkins, relief ad ministrator, turns out to be "It" aa was predicted In this column months ago. He heads the Works Relief Administration, while Secretary Iokes Is chairman of the Allotment committee and Frank 0. Walker heads the division of Applications and Information.

Washington is gay with Spring oliage and flowers, and there is x note of lightness in much of the urrent gossip.

As the "biggest liar on the river" and the champion cblliope player of seven continents, W. C. Fields, dean of film comedians, plays his new starring role In Paramount's "Mississippi", at Louisburg Theatre Thursday-Frl day, May 30-31st. A medley of song and entertain ment, centering about Fields, the picture stars the famous comedian with Bing Crosby and Joan Ben nett. Crosby plays the part of a Yan kee youth in the old South of crinoline days who falls into dis grace and loses his sweetheart because of his unwillingness to duel with every belligerent strang er. The Old Commodore takes Crosby in tow, an'd between them they soon establish a reputation for the boy as the "Singing Kil ler", the most dangerous man with the sweetest voice on the father of rivers. Crosby falls in love again, this time with a girl who abhors duels, and then the commodore and Crosby are forced to unravel the reputation. One of the largest production numbers of "Mississippi" is Writ ten about a novel arrangement of that favorite of all river songs ? "Swanee".

L. 8HIPMAN Raleigh, May 20. ? By far the Ilve8t Issue dumped upon the peo ple by the 1935 Legislature was the liquor problem. After months it debate, the Wets were beaten except for having secured an In crease in the alcoholic content of beer. Then in the closing days of the Legislature, eighteen counties were exempted from the provi sions of the Turlington act, con ditioned upon holding elections. There is little doubt that these exemptions would have been turn ed down by the Legislature, had It remained in session for anoth er week, but the members were tired and wanted to go home. So they were in no mood to debate the matter longer and disposed to let any county have liquor If it wanted it. But in doing so, the Issue was precipitated up.on the people of the State in a realistic way. It is no longer a question of Naty>nal prohibition, it is now a question of State prohibition, fori If some counties are to have 11- 1 quor, then it becomes imperative to deal with the matter from a State standpoint, for liquor can-' not, In these days of automobiles, lie kept within the confines of a single county. The obvious solution of the pro blem would be for the courts to knock out the exemption act. Con cedeally the question is a closa one, but the courts can hold the act unconstitutional, upon the, ground that enforcement of the Turlington act must be uniform! over the entire State. It is true that liquor was voted out in num erous counties before State pro hibition was adopted, but State J prohibition was voted in because it was found impossible to dear with the problem from a local' standpoint. Local option was for merly upheld by the courts upon1 the ground that control of liquor was a question of police power,! and the Wets argue that if local option can be upheld to make counties dry, then it can be up-! held to make them wet. Theoreti cally they are right, but the two. questions are not exactly the same In practice. It can hardly be argued that putting liquor In to counties is the same as taking it out. For liquor brings with it certain problems that are differ ent from voting it out. The best guess of a layman is that the courts will find the act unconsti tutional. But even if this is done, the issue will be a live one in the elections next year. The long dis cussion in the Legislature has in jured that. Candidates will be put on the spot next year. ? t t Four candidates for Governor are Already in the race, and the) end is not yet. So far not a single candidate has presented a de finite issue to the people. They have contented themselves with generalities, but there will be is sues. Clyde Hoey, of Shelby, said nothing about Prohibition in his announcement, but there Is not the slightest doubt about where he stands on the question. He took a leading part in the com paign that resulted in the over whelming vote in this State against repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. Th^ Dry forces look on him as their candidate, and nobody knows this better than Mr. Hoey. Nor did Lieut. Gov. A. H. Graham, of Hlllsboro, have any thing to say about Prohibition in his announcement. But he let it be known early "In the legislative ses sion that if there were a tie In the Senate on the Hill liquor con- ' trol, he would vote in favor of ? its adoption. He is the candidate of the supporters of Statewide 11-1 quor control. John A. McRae, of Charlotte, likewise contented him self with an announcement, but he will have to take his stand. If | he gets anywhere against two 1 sizable candidates. And the same ( is true of Col. LeRoy Klrkpat rlck, of Charlotte. Dr. John T. Uurrus, of High Point, Is fllrtlnK with the Idea of running on an intl-sales tax platform. This miglu overshadow the Prohibition issue, but it Is hardly probable. S t I While the Legislature was en gaged in trying to work out a solution of the tax problems of the State, find discussing liquor, the State Supreme Court was quietly hearing arguments on numerous cases, and little was heard from It. But the Supreme Court has the last word. It can upset any law that the Legislature enactB. That Is its function. And more attention Is going to be paid to the Supreme Court in the fu ture than has been the case in the past. Associate Justices George W. Connor and Willis J. Brogden come up tor re-election next year. In the normal course of events they would have no opposition, but it may be different in these days of change. Then Associate Justice Heriot Clarksou, who was re-elected last year, has recently been indisposed, and the Legisla ture passed a bill ? which would permit him to retire, in the event be might feel disposed to do so. He was not mentioned in the bill which merely permits a Supreme Court judge to retire after the age of ?5, If he has served for years on the bench. There are al ready candidates looking with hungry eyes towards a possible vacancy on the Supreme Court bench. While not mulch is being heard about the prospects for opposition to Senator Josiah WUiiawf BaUey next year, there Is- one candidato in the field. He is former Lteut. Gov. Dick Fountain, who is well known to the people of the State, so well known in fact that at one time it appeared certain that h-s would be elected Governor. He knows how to beat the bushes politicially. And there is no doubt that Senator Bailey is worried over the prospects of strong op position, due to his stand against paying World War veterans ad justed compensation. Legionnaires feel that if the government can vote billions to help out industry that it can also vote billions to pay the debt that it admittedly owes the veterans. The American Legion is a powerful political fac tor in North Carolina. It recent ly elected two out of the three members of the Raleigh city coun cil. There is little doubt it has its knife out for Senator Bailey. So there is certain to be a real race for the Senate next year, either with Dick Fountain or some other man as a powerful oppon ent. John Dawson. of. Kinston, is among those thinking of running. t t t Secretary of State Stacey Wade is another State official certain to have opposition. The last" Leg islature increased the salary of this and other constitutional of fices to six thousand dollars a year. Thad Eure, popular principal clerk of the House of Representa tives, is already in the field. Mike Dunnagan, Raleigh newspaper man, has been thinking of getting into the race. John A. Living stone, Raleigh. lawyer and former newspaperman, has been boomed for the job. This is Just one State offioe. There are others. There will be plenty for the voters to think about next year. 1 t t Now that the Legislature has adjourned, Charles Whedbee, of Hertford, personal friend of the Governor, who assisted him in drafting legislation, Is out of a Job. The Governor has several places that he can put him. It .s expected that he will now do something for him. -He has no more loyal a friend. Probably Whedbee would like best to be a Judge. a ^ checks nnn malaria bob??/j? Liquid ? Tablets TONIC and JaWe-Nose Drops LAXATIVE ....
