HENDERSON’S POPULATION 13,873 TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR TOBACCO GRADING ACT IS ARGUED IN CHARLOTTE COURT Constitutionality of Law Is Challenged in Federal Circuit Court of Appeals VALID REGULATION IS NOT PROVIDED “Due Process” Clause of Federal Constitution Vio lated and Authority Un lawfully Delegated to Secretary of Agriculture Is Claim Set Up Charlotte, Jan. 11.—(AP) — The fourth United States Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments today on the constitutionality of a tobacco in spection'act passed by Congress Au gust -3. empowering the secre cy of agriculture to designate mar kets upon the favorable vote of grow ers, at which government agents should inspect and grade leaf offered for sale. The case came before the court on an appeal of Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace and others from a dis trict court ruling enjoining the De partment of Agriculture and the dis trict attorney for Eastern North Car olina from enforcing the terms of the for D. T. Currin and other tobacco growers, appellees, contended the act did not provide a valid re gulation of interstate commerce; that inspection and grading on only three of forty North Carolina markets violated the “due process” clause of the Federal Constitution; that the act unlawfully delegated authority to the secretary of agriculture and growers; and that it wrought irreparable in jury to the appellees. Attorneys for the Department of Agriculture argued that growers on the three markets where inspection was established had favored the move, and the injunction prevented its being established at the others. They contended, and cited authorities in support of their argument, that the act did not unlawfully delegate authority to agriculture officials or farmers, and said the grading and in spection was instituted only on ap proval of the growers in a referendum as specified in the act. 17 NOW ARE HELD IN DYNAMITE CASE Some in Asheville Involved in Blast ing Tennessee Home, Killing Three Children Elizabethtown, Tenn., Jan. 11 (AP) Sheriff Moreland said today 17 persons were in jail here or under bond in connection with the dynamite killing of three children last Friday.

Dr. C. Warburton, national extension direc tor, also spoke. Governor Hoey told of his own ear ly days on a farm before he became a newspaper man and then a lawyer. He said farmers in those days did no know how to feed and care for t en soils, burned off their land and ep it clean. “Farmers have learned more now, though,” said Hoey. “They know how to treat and feed the soil. Farming successfully is a complicated business, a science, and it takes a well trame anan to be a good farmer. The farmer, though, is still the No. 1 man of Nortn Carolina.” The governor said the State has un limited resources if they are cana f r ' vecf and developed, but cautioned tna L_ Y.

Deep Snow Shroud Ten Plane Dead Huge Air Liner Falls in Mofitana Moun tains; Killing All on Board Bozeman, Mont., Jan. 11.—(AP)—A biting blizzard threw a snowy shroud over the bodies of ten persons killed when a Northwest Air Line plane crashed and burned in the Bridger mountains, 14 miles northwest of here yesterday. Piloted by Nick Mamer, who has flown more than 1,000,000 miles with out injuring a passenger, the plane went into a tail spin and plunged nose first into a small clearing. The no3e was snapped off by impact with the frozen ground. Searchers found all aboard dead, but the storm forced them to give up until late today the task of bringing the bodies here. A guard was left at the crash scene. Gallatin county officials said snow plows would open the roads when the bodies are brought down by bobsled. Two wood-cutters, C. A. Larson and Glenn White were working about 200 feet from where the plane crashed, but were unable to approach because of the flames. They went immediately for help, and met Sheriff Lovitt West lake and a party of forest rangers. Croil Hunter, president of North west Air Lines, issued this statement at St. Paul: “It has been determined that all on board lost their lives. Until a thor ough investigation has been conducted both by the air line’s officials and the Department of Commerce, we will be unable to make any statement as to the definite causes surrounding the same.” TRADING - LIMITED IN STOCK MARKET Some Profit-Taking in Monday’s Best Sellers Holds Down Further Sharp Advance New York, Jan. 11. —(AP)—Stocks generally swung over a restricted or bit in today’s market.

China war fronts, the spokesman said, were quiet. Japanese planes rain ed bombs on the Hankow air :'ield. and three newly discovered Chines r air fields in the interior. Japanese forces in Shantung province pushed westward from Tsingtao, which they occupied without resistance yesterday, and southward toward the Lunghai railway in a drive to trap thousands of Chinese troops.

In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Jan. 11— Partisans of Frank Hancock are seeking to turn tc their advantage the so-called “rr.ub” which Oscar L. Chapman, a.-> si-:(ant secretary of the Interior, de :icred to Senator Josiah W. Bailey at Saturday night’s Jac.k3on Day dinner he-e. Likewise at least two political com mentators o r considerable S f atew:de reason —Carl Goerch, radio man a: d publisher of The State, erd Tom Bost, uean of Raleigh’s repor" ers and cor respondent of the Greensboro News ; have expressed the opin on that , e studied omirr’on of Senator Baxley, name by the speaker was a poll .leal boner. Whether or not it was remains to be seen.

BYRNES, FIGHTING LYNCH BILL, SAYS NEGROINCONTROL Tells Senate South May Just As Well Know It Has Been Deserted By Democrats SAYS LONE NEGRO ORDERED THE BiLL Walter White, Secretary of Negro Association, Could Stop Measure RTgfit Now If He Wished, South Caro lina Democrat Shouts in Senate Speech Washington, Jan. 11 (AP) —Senator Byrnes, Democrat, South Carolina, continuing a filibuster against the anti lynching bill, said today “the Negro has not only come into the Democra tic party, but the Negro has come into the control of the Democratic party.’’ “The Sout bmay just as well know,” he said, “that it has been deserted 'by the Democrats of the North.” “One Negro whose name has here tofore been mentioned in the debate, Walter White, secretary of the Asso ciation for the Advancement of Color ed People, has ordered this bill to pass, and Mr. President, it must pass,” Byrnes Shouted to the Senate. The South Carolinian, his voice mounting in volume as bis speech pro gressed, said that “if Walter White, who from day to day sits in the gal lery, should consent to have this bill laid aside, the advocates would de sert it as quickly as football players unscramble when the whistle of the referee is heard.” If the present anti-lynch legislation is passed, Byrnes said, White will make further demands on Congress. A joint congressional committee, meanwhile, reported agreement on wheat provisions of the “ever normal granary” program. Senator Pope, Democrat, Idaho, a committee memlber said the wheat agreement was '“a di rect compromise” between the sepa rate hills passed by the House and j Senate. / Meantime, Senator Smathers, Demo- CVontinued on Page Two.) Deputies Block Mob InAlabama Greensboro, Ala., Jan. 11 (AP) Sheriff Calvin Hollis said probable mob violence was balked here today when, a few officers held at hay a mob of about 250 men while a Negro was taken from his home and hurried to jail at Selma. The sheriff said the mob formed while officers were going to the home of Lee Jonues, 31-year-old veneer iqill mill worker, to arrest him in connec tion with an abortive attack on Mrs. Ro/bert Greene, prominent west Ala bama matron. Some of the deputies met the ad vancing moib about a block from the Negro’s house the sheriff said, and held the muttering men at bay while Jones was rushed out a rear door and hurried 60 miles to Selma, where he was booked on charges of at tempted kidnaping. Mrs. Green was recovering today from contusions received when a Ne gro choked her last Saturday night. She is the wife of a former Resettle , meat Administration executive.

(Central Press) THIRD TERM MOVES CRH R COO Reform Program Can Be Completed Only By Roosevelt, Claimed By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, Jan. ll —Investigations which Rooseveltians are conducting generally are regarded in Washington as hinting strongly at third term ac tivity in behalf of President Roose velt. These investigations confidently arc expected to lead up to conclusions fa vorable to the Rooseveltian politico economic philosophy, but some of them of them are pretty certain to be strung out to the tune of two or three years’ duration. For example, Senator James F. Byrnes’ committee is trying to hit on the basic cause of unemploy ment. It surely will be some time be fore it can have analyzed its problem thoroughly enough to be able to sub mit a convincing answer to it. A dozen other inestigations simi larly are in progress. The fruit will be progressively ripen ing between now and 1940 ; but it scarcely can be counted on to be suf ficiently-mature to fall off the tree much before the latter year. Six Years Needed. After that it will have to be “can ned” in the form of legislation. The job of legislative “canning” will be completed rapidly if another four years witnesses its completion. If the investigatorial fruit is of Rooseveltian growth, can’t it he more capably legislatively “canned” under Rooseveltian than under any other auspices? Assuming an affix mauv..* response, the obvious rejoinder is that “F. D.’s” continuation in the exe cutive mansion at least until th" end of 1944 is essential. It will be quick work at that. Such a transformation, from an or chardful of budding politico-economic fruit into a cellarful of legislative canned goods usually takes two or three generations. Effecting it in the space of three four-year presidential terms would be accomplishing it in record time. See F. D. R. Needed. Os course the theory is that “F. D.”, having started the fruit a-grow ing and having ripened it pretty well up to the point for the canners to take it in hand, can afford to turn it over to the latter to preserve it for the future. . Yes, but the contrary argument is that not more than about once in a century is one man equipped to put through the whole program com- Pe Mus t so'lini and Hitler have tried it, but not with results all hands approve of. “F. D.’s” admirers consider that his system promises to turn out per fectly—if he is left alone to see it through to the finish. F. D. R. Preferred? There are, to be sure, others who think they could, respectively, carry on, succeeding Roosevelt in 1940, a-> ably as “F. D.” has done Agricu.- ture Secretary Henry A. Wallace, In terior Secretary Harold L. Ickes, So licitor General Stanley F. Reed, As sistant Attorney General Robert H. Jackson, et cetera. And doubtless they have their friends, who agree with them. _ , The rank-and-file of New Dealers, however, would prefer another term of Roosevelt. , . . There also are stand-patters (ot both parties) who want a reversion to conservation—neither Roosevelt, Reed, PUBLISHED IVIKT AFTSKNOOV EXCEPT SUNDAY.
