Gandhi Fast Watched By Government Stock Prices on Ex changes in India Tumble in Fear of Repercussions from Frail, Ascetic Lead er’s Hunger Strike at Rajkot Rajkot, India, March 4.—The heal th minister of the Bombay presidency flew here today to watch the health of Mohatas K. Gandhi as the frail, ascetic leader of millions of Indians entered the second day of his protest “fast unto death”. Gandhi, wearing little except a pair of cheap horn-rimmed spec tacles slept peacefully throughout the night on a cot placed in the bright moonlight outside his hut. He apparently had suffered no ill effects from his fast. The Bombay exchanges closed to day in protest against Gandhi’s strike. Prices on other Indian stock ex changes declined. Already in precarious health, the little bald 69-year-old spiritual lead er hoped by his strike to persuade the ruler of Rajkot state to introduce “voice in the government” for the governmental reforms, including a people of Rajkot. Meuse Demands Time To Digest Revenue Measure Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter HoteL BY HENRY AVERILL. Raleigh, March 4.—The House may, in fact, probably will, swallow the revenue bill medicine brewed and concocted for it by the finance com mittee, but its members showed yes terday that they are not going to have their collective nose held and the dose poured down their throat without at least a preliminary and tentative taste to determine whether it is one of those remedies babies cry for or whether, on the contrary, it is in the same class with old fashioned sulphur and molasses. The demonstration took the very concrete form of adopting by 51 to 30 a motion of Walter Murphy, that the House rise from committee of the whole and “report progress*’. Speak er Libby Ward, Finance Chairman Bill Fenner, Revenue Bill Expert Victor Bryant and other leaders were quite open in their opposition, but Hettitersmt Daily Dtspatr h ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OFNORTII CAROLINA AND ' leased wire service op THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. Welfare Superintend ent Would Be Approv ed Only by County Welfare Board, With out Voice of Commis sioners ; Local Bills Are Passed Raleigh, March 4. (AP) —The House passed and sent to the Senate today a bill which indirectly pro vides for the anpointment of a Dem ocrat as welfare superintendent of Wilkes county. Introduced by Repre sentative Johnston, of Ashe, a Demo crat, the measure specifies that the Wilkes superintendent be named by the county board of welfare rather than by the board and the county commissioners, as at present. The bill, however, was amended by a House Judiciary Committee yesterday to make the superinten dent’s appointment subject to ap proval of the State Board of Char ities and Welfare. Each division received one new bill at routine “local business” Sat urday sessions. The House passed 15 bills and the Senate nine. Today’s legislative calendar includ ed: Passed by the Senate and ordered enacted into law: House Bill 594 to validate real estate conveyances in the town of Wilson. House bill 384 to authorize use of surplus funds in Moyock township in Currituck county for school im provements.

The stream was 14 feet over its banks there today, Denson said. Kinston, farther down the Neuse, is likely to get 18 feet, four in flood, within ten days. The Neuse at Smithfield was 14.3 feet over its banks, but was falling. At Weldon the Roanoke was two feet over its banks and falling, and a crest of about three feet was fore cast at Williamston by Tuesday. GOLDSBORO PLANTS CLOSED BY HIGH WATER OF RIVER Goldsboro, March 4.—(AP) —The Neuse river, swollen to a stage of 19 feet, five over its banks, forced su spension of work at the Borden Brick and Tile Company plant here today and hampered work at the Goldsboro Sand Company. The brick firm’s temporary suspension was the second in the last ten days. High water forced a six-day shut down beginning February 23. One pit and a connecting rail track were an estimated two feet under water at the sand company. they might just as well have whistled up the chimney for all the good it did them. As an eastern member said: “I sat here under the iron major two years ago, but not even he ever tried to cram anything that raw down our throat.” It was noticeable that this same iron major (Gaston Gregg Cherry) lined up with the insurgents. Backing*up just a little in order to give a better idea of what happened, the Murphy motion came after the revenue bill had been reported, the House had resolved itself into a com mittee of the whole, the inheritance tax article had been adopted with out amendment and the Schedule B taxes were up for consideration. George Uzzell, of Rowan, was in the chair as chairman of the commit tee of the whole, Mr. Fenner was do ing his best to explain the bill as (Continued on Page Four) HENDERSON, N.

Departmental Legal Powers Again Posed Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. By HENRY AVERILL. Raleigh, March 4. The House committee on Conservation and De velopment is considering a bill, de signed to regulate the powers of the department of the same name and which is likely to have a far broader effect than its tftle would indicate. On the fate of this bill depends the whole question which has been em phatically posed to this assembly: “Shall the Legislature delegate to governmental departments the pow er to make rules which shall have the effect of law and for violations of which criminal prosecution may be instituted?” And so almost every department is interested .in the Mallard bill’s fate. Among those which are vitally affected are the State Board of Health, the Utilities Commission, the Highway and Public Works Commis sion, tne Revenue Department and the Depaertment of Labor. All of these have, or want, the power to make regulations and to en force them by criminal actions when they are violated. At this session the House has refused to give the De partment of Labor that power, but if the Mallard bill is killed, impetus will be given the movement to have (Continued on Page Four) DUNN MAN BADLY INJURED IN CRASH Dunn, March 4.—(AP) —R.

Minister to Sweden -and Peru; Claude Bowers Called Home from Spain for Con sultations in Washing ton Washington, March 4.—(AP) —L. A. Steinhardt, now ambassador to Peru, has been named by President Roosevelt ambassador to the Soviet Union, it was learned from a reliable source here today. Simultaneously it was announced by the State Department Claude G. Bowers, ambassador to Spain, has been summoned home for consulta tion and was already enroute. The State Department declined comment on the Steinhardt appoint ment pending dispatch by the Presi dent of the nomination to the Sen ate for confirmation.

Bowers, recall for conference fol lowed immediately the action of Great Britain and France in recogniz ing the government of General Fran co as the legal government of Spain. Indications were the President had sent for him before making any de cision to follow the British and French lead in recognizing the new government. Housing Bill Is Approved By Big Margin Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. B*Y HENRY AVERILL. Raleigh, March 4.—The House calmly and apparently collectedly approved on its second reading Fri day a housing bill introduced by Cleveland’s Odus M. Mull by re quest, notwithstanding the vigorous contention of New Hanover’s Jack LeGrand that the measure takes in entirely too much territory. The pint-sized Wilmingtonian pro tested that to all intents and pur poses the bill does away with all the authority of the State’s Local GoV'- ernment Commission and empowers cities to go into the housing business with all restrictions on finances gone with the wind. He termed it “vicious,” “to sweep ing” and “dangerous”, but he could persaude only eight other members (Continued on Page Five) Envoy to Franco & * ;• ||| •: -Mm ’ IB| With proviso his appointment be ef fective for only three months, Mar shal Henri Petain (above), heroic defender of Verdun during the World War, accepted post of French ambassador to the Spanish Na tionalist Government of Francisco Franco. (Central Pres» ■■ Cabinet Os France Jarred By Dissension Paris, March 4—(AP) —An under cover light in the French cabinet over foreign policy was brought into the open by what political sources described today as a “violent attack” against Foreign Minister Bonnet by Colonial Minister Mandel. Members of the Senate Colonial Affairs Committee disclosed that Mandel had criticized savagely Bon net’s handling of tense relations with Japan and Italy over threats to French colonial prestige in Asia and North Africa. Mandel indicated, com mittee members said, that he had to take exceptional measures to coun teract what was described as Bon net’s “do nothing” diplomacy. Political observers considered it possible Mandel’s action might bring to a head an often reported conflict between cabinet supporters of Bon net’s policy and a group composed of Mandel and others.

System i Checks and Balances in Three-Fold Division of Authority Assures Stability, Chief Just ice Says in Presence of the President Washington, March 4. (AP) — Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, addressing Congress, which two years ago defeated proposals to re organize the Supreme Court, said to day that “what the people really want they generally get.” Praising the American system of government for its division of au thority among the executive, legis lative and judicial divisions, the chief justice told his audience, in cluding President Roosevelt: “If our checks and balances some times prevent the speedy action which is thought desirable, they also assure in the long run a more deli berate judgment. And what the peo ple really want they generally get. With the ultimate power of change through amendment in their hands, they are always able to obtain what ever a preponderant and abiding sentiment demands.” His statement reminded the as- J sembled legislators and government j officials of Mr. Roosevelt’s unsuccess- i ful proposal to reorganize the Su- j preme Court and other branches of I the judiciary, in order, as the Presi dent said, to “get new blood into the judicial system.” The proposal followed the court’s action in invalidating several early New Deal laws, which drew down on it the administration criticism. Subsequently, however, the trend of court opinion changed, most later New Deal laws were approved, and the President has been able, by death and retirement, to name three new court members. A fourth vaeancy is soon to be filled. HEDY LAMARR AND GENE MARKEY WED San Diego. Cal., March 4.—(AP) — Glamorous Hedy Lamarr, start of “Algiers”, and Gene Markey, asso ciate producer for Twentieth Cen tury-Fox Studios in Hollywood, will be married this afternoon in Calex ico, Cal., Markey disclosed today. “Yes, it’s true,” Markey said when he was located at a hotel, where he and the dark-haired European beauty had stopped for a few hours rest on their drive from the movie capital. He said the wedding would climax a friendship of “about a year” since they met at a film party. Economic Law, Not FDR Will Return Prosperity; Hopkins Ignorant Os Job By CHARLES P.

Instead, he told the Congress and a host of representatives of for eign powers, this nation would seek “by every peaceful means” to keep religious and personal freedom alive, addressing a joint session of the Congress 150 years ago, Mr. Roose velt denounced the return to the world in recent years “of forms of government which for 2,000 years have proved their tyranny and in stability.” The United States, with many other dmeocracies, would never ap provingly watch this return to “per sonal rule,” he declared, continued: “Where democracy is snuffed out, there, too, the right to worship God in one’s own way is circumscribbed or abrogated. Shall we by our pas siveness, by our silence, by assum ing the attitude of the Levite who pulled his skirts together and pass ed by on the other side, lend encour agement to those who today perse cute religion or deny it?” “The answer to that is ‘No,’ just as in the days of the first Congress of the United States it was ‘No.’ “Not for freedom of religion alone does this nation contend by every peaceful means. We believe in the other freedoms of the bill of rights, the other freedoms that are inherent in the right of free choice by free men and women.” Justice of the Supreme Court, many high officials of the govern ment, diplomatic representatives of foreign governments and members (Continued on Page Four) Brokers Are Suspended By The SEC Washington, March 4.—(AP) — The Securities Commission suspend ed William E. Hutton II today from membership on the New York Stock Exchange and other exchanges ,for three months. The commission had charged manipulation of the' stock of the Atlas Tack Corporation. In its order, the commission discon tinued proceedings against W. E. Hutton & Company and John Christie Duncan and Carroll V. Ger an, partners of the firr#. The firm has headquarters in Detroit. The commission also suspended H. H. Michaels for one month from membership on national securities exchanges. Michaels is a member of William Cavalier & Company, a member of the New York Stock Ex change, the San Francisco Stock Ex change and the San Francisco Curb Exchange. The Cavalier firm was not involved in the proceedings. coura'ged to invest. But is there any thing particularly basic about all this? Economists seem skeptical. His torians seem skeptical also. Maybe the historians’ dope is more signifi cant than the economists’. The eco nomists’ calculations are at rather short range. The historians recokon from big war to big war, assuming they generally are about a century apart. The historians’ theory is that the belligerent folk need approximately 100 years to recover from a major conflict. The so-called 100 years’ war was an illustration of it. Europe never was the same after it was over. And, until extremely modern times, the Napoleonic wars had their dis organizing effects upon international economics. The late Melvin A. Tray lor, as president of the National City Bank of Chicago, an economic-his torian of the first class, once. told me that he believed Uncle Sam’s (Continued on Page Five)
