HENDERSON GATEWAY TO CENTRAL CAROLINA TWENTY-THIRD YEAR TVA LOSES OUT IN FIRST SKIRMISH ON POWER FIRM SUITS Federal Judge Gore at Nash ville Refuses TVA Mo tion To Dismiss Uti lities Complaint MEANS GORE WILL PASS UPON ISSUE He Will Decree Constitu tionality of Governments Gigantic Power Yardstick; Answers Given in Sup\»me Court Will Determine fu ture of Program Nrishville, Term., Oct. 16. —(AP) Federal District Judge John D. Gore, overruled today a motion by the Ten nesse" Valley Authority to dismiss a suit brought against it by 19 pow , companies, but did not pass upon the question of the constitutionality of the TV'A act. The effect of the decision, in the opinion of attorneys, is to keep the suit before Judge Gore for hearing on the constitutional issues involved. On the answers eventually given to those questions by the Supreme Court, it is generally agreed the TVA power program likely will stand or fall. ■ There may he cases where it would he proper to look to the constitution ality of the act to determine the ques tion of jurisdiction,” the judge said in a written opinion, “but I think the case made by the averments in this bill brings it within the jurisdiction of this court, regardless of the con stitutionality of the Tennessee Valley Authority act. ‘I think the averments, if proven, strip the defendants of their official character and constitute them private citizens in that regard x x x x and when such conditions exist they are subject to suit in any court of com petent jurisdiction where they are committing said illegal and uncon stitutional acts and where process can bo nerved.” The power company suits were brought originally in chancery court in Knoxville and transferred to Fed eral district court on the plea of the TVA. Subsequently the TVA filed a motion to dismiss, contending that under a section of the TVA act the suit should have been brought in the northern district of Alabama.

Peasants of Spain, impressed by the Madrid high command, threw up barbed wire entanglements within 20 miles of the capital today to stop a surge of Fascist soldiers. At the same time Moscow speculat ed to as whether Dictator Joseph Stalin’s message to Spanish commun ists, telling them the Soviets are giv ing them “every assistance in their power,” foreshadowed an early open break with the international neutral ity convention. The peasant squadrons worked fev erishly to string the barricades, so cialist militiamen poured into the trenches, and the newspaper voice of the leftist government warned: “The situation is delicate.” At the war ministry Premier Fran cisco Largo Caballero, extreme social ist, assumed personal supreme com mand for the last stand. Reports to his desk said every officer of the brunette command had been slaught ered in the retreat from the Alberche river. Food and warm clothing in the cap ital was scarce, although the situa tion was helped somewhat by relief from Russia. Sliding through icy mud, the Fas cists advanced their battlefront west of Madrid an average of ten miles, snatching ten mountain villages in their stride. On the main Maqueda- Madrid highway the strategic town of Naval Carnero was but a few miles from the Fascist grasp. OUR WEATHER MAM Rain this afternoon and tonight Saturday partly cloudy; cooler Saturday night. » HENDERSON, N. C., FRIDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 16, 1936 Roosevelt has been in office and that the prosperity of the people is far greater now than back in the dark, dreary days of 1932 and 1933, in spite of the howls of the Republicans and some of the big interests. For the balance sheets of business firms every where show that (business is better today than it was three and four years ago and that manufacturers, mill owners, merchants and business men of all classes are making more money today than they were then. Cold, hard figures also show that the income of the workers in the lower pay brackets has also increased and that the per capita wealth of the people has almost trebled under the Roosevelt administration. “This means that the people of the United States are going to reelect President Roosevelt for another four years, unless they forsake all of the rules and rudiments of political psy chology in the past and utterly dis regard everything that has happened in the past. But they are not going to do this, since the people as a whole are better informed and more intel ligent than ever before. They are go ing to reelect President Roosvelet.” GOVERNMENT LACKS ROOMATCAPITAL Multiplying Departments and Bureaus Overrun All Buildings There By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Oct. 10. —Uncle Sam no longer can find shelter in Washing ton for all the government staffs which are supposed to have their headquarters here. There simply are not enough build ings in the capital to accommodate the full number of Federal employes. Baltimore is getting the overflow. That is to say, if cue visits Wash ington from elsewhere on government fiusiness, taking it for granted that here is the place to transact it, one may find oneself referred to branch offices in the Maryland city instead It is no great trip—Baltimore being merely 40 miles away—but it serves to concentrate one’s attention upon the proportion of expansion of Fed eral activities in recent years. WAR STRUCTURES It may not seem as if Washington should be under-built from the gov ernment’s standpoint. There was plenty of room for all hands before the war. The war, however, so inflated Uncle Sam’s demands for office space that temporary buildings were rushed up, to the number of at least a score. The “tempo’s” were occupied main ly by sub-divisions of cabinet depart ments or by independent commissions of various sorts —the Census Bureau, the Public Health Serevice, the Fed eral Trade Commission, et cetera. But two entire departments—justice and commerce —v/ere housed in rent ed buildings. They were not “tem po’s.” They were good buildings, but they were paid for at the kind of ren tals with which landlords usually soak the government—pretty stiff. Under the Coolidge and, more par ticularly, the Hoover administrations it ibegan to occur to Federal plan ners that it would be wise for Uncle Sam to replace his “tempo’s” with, substantial structures and to termin ate his role of tenant. GOVERNMENT HAD LAND The government went at it. It had the land.

Reports here said Mrs. Hugh Tate, of Greenlea, was seriously injured when she and her brother attempted to pass an automobile near Green lea and their car plunged down an embankment. Meanwhile, weather officials here said the French Broad river would rise about two and a half feet above the bankfull stage, but little dam age would be done. At Marshall, however, the river was swirling over Highway No. 213 at the mouth of the Hayes Run river and over Highway 20 at East End. The Marshall school, on an island, suspended operations. A creek was said to be flowing over highway 174 to a depth of seven feet eleven miles this side of Ruth erfordton. The Cane river blocked traffic on Highway 19-E between here and Er win, Tenn. Officials said the river was reported at the highest level in 16 years. The Catawba v/as said to have ne cessitated closing of roads three miles north of Marion. A small detour bridge was wash ed out on the Asheville-Candler road near here. STREAMS AT TOP LEVEL REACHED IN 16 YEARS Raleigh, Oct. 16 (AP)—J. C. Walk er, division engineer at Asheville, no tified the State Highway and Public Works Commission today that Yan cey county streams had reached their highest levels in 16 years due to floods, and that" the town of Wood row, in Haywood county, was isolat ed by high waters. “We are having the worst flood conditions in this section today we have had in several years. There are many slides throughout the moun tain area which are blocking roads and causing damage in addition to the high waters,” Walker said. U. S. Route 74 was under seven feet of water eight miles west of Rutherfordton, and Route 221 north and south from Marion was blocked being under six or seven feet of wa ter north of the place. Routes 284 and 110 were blocked by waters of the Pigeon to cut off Woodrow, Walker said. Corporate Profit Tax To Be Cut Washington, Oct. 16.—(AP)— Con gressional experts studying the taxing of corporation profits which are not passed on to stockholders indicated today they were giving much con sideration to proposals to exempt from taxation such money as is used for addition to a corporation’s phy sical plant. Although Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau was silent on Jesse H. Jones’ proposal for revising the tax, officials of the joint committee on internal revenue taxation revealed that complaints had been received that many corporations would be un able to make contemplated plant im provements or pay off debts this year if forced to distribute their surpluses in dividends. Committee experts indicated they would be opposed to exempting debt payment from the tax, arguing that firms might create unnecessary debts and pay them off merely to avoid the tax. Jones, chairman of the Reconstruc tion Corporation, spoke for the re election of President Roosevelt Tues day night and urged amending the (Continued on Page Eight.)

With further thought French sources came to the view the Belgian mon arch’s statement, merely outlined a policy rather than constituting a re pudiation of extsting security accords The French view was strengthened by assurances in London that Bel gium would fulfill its obligations un der the League of Nations covenant.
