HENDERSON GATEWAY TO CENTRAL CAROLINA TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR SPANISH REBELS POURING INTO BILBAO Court Bill Is Reported Unfavorably To The Senate BLISTERING ATTACK ON ROOSEVELT IDEA PLACED IN REPORTS Should Be So Emphatically Rejected It Will Never Rise Again, Re port States CALLED MENACE TO AMERICAN LIBERTY Administration Senators Ad mit They Have Virtually Abandoned All Hope of Getting Original Plan Through; Time To Start Debate Uncertain Washington, June 14. —(AP) —The Senate Judiciary Committee recom mended rejection of the Roosevelt court bill in blistering language to day. branding it “a needless, futile and utterly dangerous abandonment of constitutional principles.” ‘ It should be so emphatically re jected that its parallel will never again be presented to the free repre sentatives of the free peopl of Amer ica,” said the report, signed by seven Democrats and three Republicans. The 10.000-word report echoed vir tually all the objections raised to the measure in seven weeks of hearing. It said the bill would not accomplish its purpose, would destroy the indepen dence; of the judiciary, and -would make the government ‘‘one of men rather than one of law.” ‘‘lt contains,” the majority said, “the germ of a system of centralized administration of law that would en able an executive so minded to send his judges into every judicial district in the land and sit in judgment on controversies between the govern ment and the citizens.’’ As the controversial measure final ly reached the Senate after more than four months of nationwide debate, ad ministration senators said they vir tually had abandoned its proposals for adding five new judges to the Su preme Court at once. Submission of the committee s re port made it possible to call up the bill for debate at any time, but lead ers gave no indication when they might do so. They were expected to wait at least until the Senate passes the relief bill. The eight members of the judiciary committee who voted for the bill did not submit a minority report.

Y., June 14 (AP) —A force of 100 searchers mobilized to beat the brush in the vicinity of the Alice McDonnell Parsons home to day in an effort to unearth some clue to the disappearance of the society matron and heiress. “The present state of the investiga tion justicies the search,” Earl Con nelley, the Federal agent in charge of the government inquiry, said in an nouncing the hunt. He added “it will be continued un til we are satisfied we have made a thorough search in an effort to gain the objectives we have in mind.” That was as far as he would go in defin ing the purpose of the newest move to solve the disappearance last Wed nesday of Mrs. Parsons, who dropped from sight shortly before a ransom demand for $25,000 was found. The area to be searched was de scribed as “fairly wild,” dotted with a few cultivated fields, but abound ing with woods and tangled under brush . No dogs and no “volunteer help” will be used. “The fact that we are making the search does not commit the Depart ment of Justice to any specific theory Connelley said.

Raising of the discount rate is the usual means of making it too expen sive to send gold or other capital abroad. senaFapproves STUDY OF RELIEF Action Follows Committee Plan To Make Local Communities Aid Washington, June 14 (AP) —The Senate approved today a proposed na tionwide study of unemployment and relief by a commission to be approv ed by the President.

Vandenberg of Michigan, in a recent radio broadcast, “as economic indiges tion.” The Wolverine statesman s mean ing was that the country has been fed New Deal food faster than it can assimilate it. To be sune, as a Repub lican (and no improbability as his party’s next presidential nominee,) the senator cannot be considered in sympathy with the present adminis tration.

The people of this “Pittsburgh of Spain,” besieged almost since the start of the insurgent northern of fensive early in April, fled for shelter as the planes dived and circled. Defense anti-aircraft operations over this tightly-hemmed in area made evacution of the wounded a grave problem. The road northwest was under heavy attack from the air, with 25 persons reported killed in one sector. This was-virtually the only land es cape for the Bilbao population. At Bilbao’s outskirts, the insurgent advance guard pressed on the heels of retreating Basques into the outskirts of Bilbao and began raking the streets with rifle fire from the scattered houses which they occupied. General Francisco Franco’s shock troops spread out fanwise through the opening they cracked in the Bas que capital’s iron ring defense, swarm ed over the pine-covered hillside two hours before sunset Sunday, and car ried their red and yellow flag to the city’s edge. Franco, chief of the insurgent re gime, was in personal command of the final stage of the campaign.
