Raleigh Feb. 28.—The House will not pass the Hill liquor store bill, either with or without , a referendum, if the House has the same feeling to wards legalizing liquor that it does towards *galizing the sale of five per cent beer, according to most members here today, following the defeat of the beer bill in the lower branch of the legislature yesterday by a vote of 61 to 16. Some are very doubtful as to whether the Hill bill will now pass fire Senate, although until the last few days the belief has been prevalent that it would pass that branch, but by a narrow margin. But the wallop which the House gave the beer bill may now react in the Senate and cause several members that have been planning to vote for it to vote against it instead.

Feb. 28.—The revenue bill will probably be completed by the fi nance committees by Friday after noon, reported into the House Satur day morning and placed on the calen dar foi consideration Monday night. Chan man Harris Newman, of the Sen ate committee, and Chairman Gregg Cherry, of the House committee, said today. The session yesterday was de voted largely to working out details in the sales tax section, dealing with the collection of the tax from whole salers and with other administrative details. This afternoon Senator Carl Bailey, of Washington county, is expected to bring in the report of the sub-com mittee. which he heads, dealing with the taxation of chain stores and chain filling stations. Senator Bailey said this morning that his committee would recommend the adoption of two j new sections to the revenue bill, one providing for the taxation of chain stores and another providing for the taxation of chain filling stations.

Miss Daves, who earlier in the day had appeared before adjoint commit tee on insane asylums, and who is a , s2l-a-month nurse at the Morganton 1 institution, started speaking in a low 1 voice, scarcely audible in the extreme ends of the room. “Come up near the [head of the table where we can hear j you,” invited House Appropriations chairman Victor Bryant. “Thank you.” said Miss Daves, “although I feel more like getting down on my knees.” . | In a tremulous voice, although i', j j (Continued on Page Five) AL SMITH LOOSES AT ICKES’ POLICIES Demand for Moses Resigna tion in New York Called Narrow, Political, Vindictive IMPLIES POLITICAL USE OF PWA POWER Former Governor and Pres idential Candidate Says If LaGuardia Fights Back, Ickes Won’t Dare To With hold Works Funds on New York Bridge Project New York.

STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Feb. 28.—The undoubt ed fact that many senators and rep resentatives consider NRA practically a failure does not mean that it will be permitted to expire when its pres ent tenure runs out in mid-June. The administration can not afford to v admit that the biggest and 'best j advertised of its New Deal agencies is a fizzle. And the administration’s J influence on Capitol Hill continues to . be sufficient to insure it against hav ing such an admission forced on it by adverse congressional action. Besides, it is only at his own po litical peril that a legislator can make himself conspicuous by advocating the abolition of approximately 2,000 jobs on the Federal payroll—that being, roughly, the size of NRA’S personnel. These officeholders, in considerable ! proportion, are potent folk in their various home communities —or they wouldn’t have been appointed to Wash (Continued on I’age Three) 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY t COAL MINE RULING FURNISHES LATEST !

MANUFACTURING IS NOT IN REGULATION Federal Courts Hold That Is Not Interstate Commerce and Congress Has No Au thority In That Respect; Much of New Deal Based On That Idea I Washington, Feb. 28. —(API— The | New Deal marshalled its lngal forces today to waul off n blow, which—if its hould gain the added strength of Supreme Court approval—would top ple much of NRA’s vast structure in to the dust. The blow was the opinion enunciat ed by Federal Judge John T. Neilds of Delaware yesterday that the Con stitution did not confer upon Con gress the powei to regulate manufac n re. It was reinforced by the tilling of Federal Judge Charles T. Dawson at Louisville. K.v., who declared that coal mining is an intrastate business: that intrastate business is beyond the re gulatory power of Congress: and that, therefore, the national industrial re covery act. as applied to coal, is un constitutional. Much of the New Deal is based on the idea that if a business affectp commerce between the states Con gress can regulate it. But that view met an obstacle in Judge Neilds’ flat , statement that manufacture is not subject to such regulation. In the court’s opinion, in whidh ( jfie i held Section 7-A of NRA unconstilu • tional as applied to the Weirton Steel . Company, he said that Supre.jVu} Court 1 'Tilings demonstrated that “the. Con stitution did not give to CongPe£§ jtlte j power to regulate manufacture. 4 ’ To i regard Weirton’s manufacturing op j orations as instruments for the inter statement movement of goods, he said • would put practically all American j manufacturing under control of the Federal government, a result which I “has received the unqualified condem ! ration of the Supreme Court.” The government plans an immediate appeal from Judge Dawson’s decision.
