EIGHT Outstanding News1 Continued from page one HUEY GETS TOLD President Roosevelt himself Thursday notified Huey Pierce Long of the United States Senate that the said Mr. Long, who is virtually dictator of the state of Louisiana, is to handle none of the federal funds distributed for relief purposes in that state. Long, who figured largely in a campaign to strip T. Semmes Walmsley, Mayor of New Orleans, of all power, and who personally supervises the spending of most of the state's funds, will probably start a campaign to "de-power" the chief executive. DRAWS LONG STRETCH Mar-caret Waley, who was con victed last week of aiding her husband, Harmon Waley, and William Mahan to hold prisoner young George Weyerhauser, was sentenced Wednesday to 20 years imprisonment. Although her husband protested repeatedly that the 19-year-old wife knew nothing Of the kidnapping, federal courts proved the contrary. Waley is serving 45 years in the McNeil Island federal prison; Mahan is still a fugitive from federal officers; Mrs. Waley will serve her time at the federal detention home at Milan, Michigan. ADOLPH STILL KICKING Not content with intensive persecution of Jews in Germany, supporters o f Reichfuehrer Adolph Hitler Thursday warned the Roman Catholic church that Nazi Germany appreciates no meddling. According to the ardent Hitlerites, priests are injuring the state with their "officious praying," especially by criticising the sterlization legislation enacted by the third Reich recently. They stated plainly that the state will brook no interference, even though the Pope sponsors it. j IT "BURNED THEM CP" The Black lobbying committee, investigating rumors of shady dealings by utility companies in the recent defeat of the WheelerRayburn bill, discovered Thursday that seven branch offices of a Pennsylvania company had destroyed filed telegrams relative to lobbying to defeat the measure. It was charged that R. P. Herron, official of the company selected names at random from a telephone directory and signed them to telegrams sent to Representative Driscoll, of Pennsylvania, urging that he oppose the bill. WISE GUY When Abraham Starr, laborer in a New York foundry, learned that an uncle had died, leaving Abraham over $2,000,000, he admitted that he didn't know what to do with so much money. A large number of salesmen flocked to "help" the fortunate fellow decide, but he told them that he would do as he had always done with his money?give it to his wife. ANOTHER AMAZON Hungary is wondering what response George Kemeny, husband of a Budapest couturier, will make to the challenge issued to him by a woman Friday. ^The woman, Mrs. Ludwig Katonay, was recently discharged from the Kemeny shop. Charging that Mrs. Kemeny insulted her, she used the dueling rules which makes a man responsible for his wifes' acts to send a challenge to Kemeny. It has not been learned whether the indignant Mrs. Katonay will do her own fighting. ? FORBIDDEN CITY FALLS Peiping,' city of the Dragon Throne, ancient seat of Chinese government, is in the possession of the hated foes of China, the Japanese. The seizure of Peiping indicates the capture of all North China. Since the fall of the Manchu dynasty, and the establishment of a republic, the dragon throne at Peiping has been unoccupied. Rumors say that it is only a matter of time before the Japanese place Henry Pu-Yi, formerly emperor of China, there. ARABIAN SNATCHERS Lieutenant Joseph Chamberlain, son of the well-known English diplomat and statesman Sir Austen Chamberlain, was Saturday reported in the hands of marauding Wahabi warriors, who are believed to have seized the young officer near Akaba. According to authorities, he is now being held by followers of the Ibn Saud ruler Saudi, Arabia. As soon as definite information can be obtained, negotiations will be begur for his release.

When grilled as to his alibi, the apparatus recorded "undue emotion." Finally he admitted that he struck a girl, Marian J.

BABY MONEY To aid various states in their sales tax program, the federal government may mint midget money, it was learned Monday.

I and improvements have been I made to those houses which were not enlarged. With ample redrying facilities; six large warehouses and three sets of buyers there isn't a market in the South that will be able to offer more to the man who grows tobacco . The tobacconists of Whiteville are optimistic over prospects for the coming marketing season. While it is the opinion of many that tobacco will not sell as high as it did last year these men feel sure that the average price for this season's crop will run close to last season's mark. State reports released by the crop re] porting bureaus of North and South Carolina show that in 1934 the nine Border Belt markets in South Carolina sold 60,019,222 pounds of tobacco for an average price of $21.60 per hundred. The seven Border Belt markets in North Carolina sold 56,541,717 pounds of the leaf for an average of $23.94 per hundred. The Whiteville tobacconists hope their market will average close to the latter figure this season. Speaking of prices . . price depends greatly on warehousemen.
