CANT BE NEUTRAL Spanish Civil War, With Outside Ramifications, Evidence of That By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, June 7.—The war in Spain has just illustrated again how difficult it is for the United States to remain neutral when hostilities break out somewhere else in the world— hostilities that Uncle Sam has nn interest in and devoutly wishes to keep out of. To begin with, our neutrality leg islators enacted a law banning ship ments of American supplies to bel ligerents in any international clash involving two or more foreign coun tries. There was more to it than that, but the nub of it was that we did not propose to he drawn intc any in ternational musses. International! Get that? Immediately afterward Spain’s civil strife started.

The survey was conducted by the TVA under an executive order. The President forwarded a letter by Chairman Arthur Morgan, of TVA briefly summarizing the report. Morgan said the survey showed the present regional freight rate structure for foundries constitute barriers a gainst the free flow of commerce which are hampering and restricting the normal development of the na tion as a whole by preventing a full utilization of the varied natural re sources that exist in the different re gions of the country.” “The report suggest that the estab lishment of uniformed principle of making inter-territorial freight rates will aid the commercial development of such regions as the Tennessee Val ley, and rebound to the benefit of the nation as a whole.” Morgan said there was “no national freight structure but rather a com posite of regional structures.” RALEIIESON TAX SUPPLEMENT Plan Calls for Nine Months Term and Possibly 12 Grades Next Fall Daily Dispatch Boreas, In the Sir Walter Hotel.

By J. C. BASKEItVILL Raleigh, June 7.—Neither Governor O. Max Gardner, Congress man Robert L. Doughtou nor former Penrtor-Governor Cimcron Morrison will be a candidate for + he United States Senate in the Democratic pri mary next spring against Senator Robert R. Reynolds, according to most opinion here today following the visit of Mr. Gardner from Thursday until Saturday with Governor Clyde R. Hoey his brother-in-law, and the visit of Congressman Doughton here or. Sunday. As to Cameron Morrison, most observers here feel that the only person who is taking the talk of his possible candidacy against Reyno’ds seriously is Cameron Morrison. The principal reason for the belief that Max Gardner will not run for the Senate against Senator Reynolds is the conviction of his friends that he doesn’t want to run for or hold any public office or to become embroiled in a political campaign that probably would get pretty hot and mean before it was over. For while it is agreed that Gardner is a master political strategist, and could give Reynolds as hot and close a fight as any one, his friends maintain that he would be utterly foolish to give up his reputed $100,900 a year law practice in Wash- Gontlnued on Page Two.)

Lewis Wants Labor And Industry To Set Scale of Wage Washington, June 7. —(AP) —C. I. O. Chief John L. Lewis advised Con gress today to let industry and labor work out their own wage problem ex cept for their rock-bottom standards. Appearing before a Senate-House committee studying the administra tion proposed wage and hour law, Lewis voiced grateful support of the measure, but objected to a provision by which the government could de termine “the fair wages” in industry poorly organized for collective bar gaining. He expressed fear that if such a clause were enacted there would be a drift “toward the fixing of small wages by the Federal gov ernment.” The labor chief suggested that the bill set up minimum pay of 40 cents an hour for a 35-hour week. This would mean a rock bottom wage of sl4 a week or S7OO a year. Lewis made one reference to cur rent labor troubles in the steel indus try. He asserted the Bethlehem Steel Company was “behind the Youngs town Sheet and Tube and The Re public Steel Company” in resisting collective bargaining.

With that document representing the views of ten of the 18 committee members was expected by some to take direct and emphatic exceptions to arguments by the President for the legislation. It probably will deny any need for “infusion of new blood in the courts” it was said, and cite the record of the Supreme Court docket in reply to assertions that addition of justices would expedite cases. It also will support the court’s right to refuse reviews to many pe titions. The report itself will be compara tively brief, but volumnious data in cluding speeches by the President about the’ proposal and Chief Justice Hughes’ letter to the committee.

Bullion dealers explained that it costs about 23 cents an ounce to ship to New York at the $35 price, so that shippers must buy at $34.77 an ounce in order to make a profit. What part the British equalization might hhve'played In the move today was not disclosed. The bullion brok ers, who fixed the .price, said it was the result of a “smaller supply and increased demand.” For two weeks on an unprecedent ed total of $84,000,000' in gold has been sold on the London market giv ing rise to the fear that the strain would be too great for the govern ments of Great Britain and the Unit ed States to handle.
