The Constitution, they con tended, forbids regulation of trade by local acts. John Cassey, of Greens boro, and Attorney General Harry McMullan, argued for the State that the law was a valid exercise of pol ice power, and that if the 1939 act was a local law it was invalid, but Poland Crushed Between Nazis and Reds ITH U A N / 2 I I 17 Z/A RcusT/mcE ™ EAST Ak.
