WEEK'IN ^ 'WtMltttStoiir Much ii. (Anto- ci»t«T'K'?wr*n» Supreme Court ol thft-Cpited StatM Is once more the center of Interest here, be- t|{|nm of the highly important I eaSes 'Vhieh are either now be- jfore It 'or on their swift way to ^It^ Upon the Supreme Court’s de- will depend the fate of! NRA end of so many of its pro- as well as some of the Hher things which the Adminis tration has undertaken, that there la a decided tendency both lafCoBgress and in the Executive himaeh of the Federal Qovern- *«»t to mark time until the :, Court has acted. A large part ol Mr. Roosevelt’s New Deal is, in f effect, on trial. case which the Supreme now has under consider- of a southern lum ber comMny which refused to recognixe^^RA or any part of it, 1^-' and set as its defense that the National Industrial Recovery Act was unconstitutional. The l^lVederal District Court held that the lumber company was right, j and the Government appealed. A decision in this case is ex pected in the course of a lew weeks. It may or it may not set tle all of the questions which are raised in the three other im portant cases which have been decided against the Government In the past couple of weeks, by lower Federal courts. Three OUier Cases One of those is the Kentucky Oal-mine case, in which the mine-owners denied the right of the Federal Government to regu late the wage scale or the hours of labor. The District court ruled in favor of he mine-owners. Another is the decision in the Weirton Steel Company case that the Government has no power to regulate manufacturing, under the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution. The Admin istration’s contention is that anything which is manufactured comes under Federal jurisdic tion if it is to be sold across state lines. The district court ruled that “commerce"’ does not in clude manufacturing; it also ruled that the famous “Ta” sec tion of NR.\. the collective bar gaining clau.se, had not been vio lated by the establishment of a company union in the Weirton plant. The* tffird case which is being appealed by the Government is even broader scope, it is the ruling of Judge Grubb in the Federal District Court of Ala- gama that the Tennessee "Valley Authority,' nor any other arm of the Federal Government, has no right to compete with private business. The TVA has been busy making contracts to sell power from the Government dams on the Tennessee River, in several states. Judge Grubb ruled that it had no right to build dams ex cept to improve navigation, and could generate power only as an incident to that right. This rul ing, if upheld by the Supreme Court, would put an end to Pres ident Roosevelt’s “yardstick’’ plan, of making the cost of pow er generated by the TVA a mea sure by which to control electric rates everywhere. Washington SnmiisM Lawyers here who usually guess pretty closely how the Su preme Court will decide think that its decisions in these cases will put a pretty tight curb on NRA and TVA. There is a de cidedly jittery feeling apparent in Administration circles, es pecially among the ardent young reformers who have had a hand in shaping these projects and "selling” them to the nation. Some of the young men are complaining bitterly that the President has let them down, by not putting all of his influence behind their entire program. The fact seems to be that .Mr. Roosevelt is trying to consoli date his position for the Presi dential election of 1936, and to regain some of the ground he lost by reason of giving the so cial reformers and radicals too much leeway. He is much more concerned with economic recov ery than with social reform, just now; for it is becoming increas ingly clear that it is to the con servatives and the liberal-con servatives that he must look tor his main support in 1936. Talk of Radiru) Bloc time this is printed some com promise between Congress --and the President on the Work Re lief program may" he announced, but as this is written that is a deadlock over this important measure. The Social Security bill Is all shot to pieces. The most likely outcome is that ah Old Age Pension measure will be adopted in which the Federal Government will match any state 50-50 in providing such pensions, leaving it up to each state to take the initiative. The Unemployment Insurance fSa- ture of the bill does not now seem to have a chance of passage this session. Looking Ahead Donald Kichberg’s assurance the other day that there would be no monetary inflation at least for six years, or so long as Mr. Roosevelt is' President, Indicates the confidence felt that he will be re-elected, whatever happens. That is a good five-to-one bet In the present tangles state of Re publican politics. And the Pres ident may surprise everybody any day by “going to the coun try” with one of his persuasive broadcasts thus putting pressure on Congress from behind and re viving popular enthusiasm for his program. The fact remains, however, that -Mr. Roosevelt is at the mo ment a rather tired and slightly worried man. and needs a long vacation. The radical elements in Con gress arc also trying to consoli date their position. There is talk! aboui a “radical bloc.” but that doestCt mean much, as there are so many types of radicals, not two of whom seem to agree on more than one or two things. Tile feeling grows here, howev er, that a tliird-party is certain, with support from elements rep resented by such men outside of Congress as Cpton Sinclair and Father Coughlin and in Congress by Senators Huey Long and Burton Wheeler of Montana. Meantime, legislation is in a state of chaos. Perhaps by the MOTHER’S EFFORT TO SAVE HER SON FAILS Danville, Va.. March 11.—^A mother’s courageous but vain ef fort to save her three-year-old son from burning was revealed today with the death of Millard Aaron at a local hospital. The son of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Aaron, the little boy lost a dime in a tobacco barn close to the family dwelling at .Mount Cross, secured a box of matches and went to look for it in the building filled with wheat straw. Suddenly Mrs. Aaron heard a roaring sound and saw the barn on fire. She knew her son was there, but entrance w’as prevent ed by a sheet of flame. The mo ther then ran to the flue hole which was choked with tobacco sticks. She tore them out and saw her son trying to .worm his w'ay through the hole. She seiz ed him by the shoulders and drew him out but he was already ablaze. Not over 26 farmers in all of Stanly county have failed to plant some lespedeza this spring. The growers have seeded from three to 50 acres per farm. Conljdyr.|i^V|Sf Tnipurities” As Important As Nitrogen Plant Food R v ' ^searchers Reveal New research into the great subject of plant foods is con stantly adding new evidence of the importance of the lesser known elements to successful crop production. For nearly a hundred years scientists as well as practical farmers have accepted the tra dition that the three common elements — nitrogen, phosphate and potash—are all that a crop requires. The past few years, how^irer, scientists have produc ed so much proof of the import ance of the rarer elements—im purities, such as iodine, boron, magnesium, sodium, calcldm, strontium, lithium and many others—that the subject of these impurities has become about the most important one in the whole realm of plant feeding. The rar er elements are coming to be considered as necessary to a crop as nitrogen itself. The fact that the vital impuri ties are present in Chilean Ni trate of Soda is considered one of the main reasons for the out standing effectiveness of this nitrogen fertilizer. Chilean Na tural Nitrate was created, scien tists believe, while the earth it self was being formed. Conse quently they believe that it con tains as many of the rare ele ments as sea water contains— f.hirty-five or perhaps forty of them. Only very small qunatities of these elements are required by growing plants but they must have them if they are to have the health that produces robust growth and a good profitable yield. BROTHERS SHOT BY SAME BULLET Hickory, March 11.—Pink and Lewis Reep, young men of Hick ory Route 1, were both shot through their right legs this aft ernoon in a very unusual acci dent. One of the boys was said to have been examining a .32-cali bre pistol when it was discharg ed accidentally. The bullet entered the right leg of one boy and lodged in the right leg of his brother. Having sold most of their broil ers at a nice profit, Catawba poultrymen have started an addi tional lot of baby chicks under brooders from which to select lay- J ing hens next winter.
