Friends of the Administration are

reports of dissatisfaction began to

emanating from political sources.

Washington, Sept. IS ? ScdHarv
of the Interior Harold F. Ickes minted
this afternoon, following a hc-triug ?mi
tlu? cont l-oversv thai has arisen be
tween North Carolina and Tennessee
over the {oration of the great see/iie
parkway connecting the Shenandoah
and (ire:." Smoky Mountains Nation- J
al Parks, tli.it lie will take the whole j
matter under advisement ;i n?l give t h>'
most careful consideration to it he- j
fore making his dec siosi, and intimn. j
ed that he will come down and go
over Hi*' two routes before arr.ving at
a conclusion.
Mr. Ick.es stated that he realizes
that the matter is of t#fo inueh im
|?ortan <*e to the country at large to
he definitely determined until every
phase of it. has had most carefnl
consideration, because it involves the
eX|>enditurc of twenty million ? ot dol
lars on what is to be the nio.<t pre
tentious scenic highway in the world,
connecting the iwo great national
parks and Incoming itself a part of ,
the National Parks system, to bt kept
up and operated under tlie Park Ser- 1
vice, for the benefit of the people, 4 o
add to their recreational facilities. |
The auditorium in the building of
the Department !-f ' he Inferior was
crowded to capacXy for the liear.ng
before 'Mr. Ickes, more than four hun
dred Ninth ('-ir dii'ians and p rhaps
a fourth as many Tcnnesseans living
made the trip to Washington to he
present on the occasion. The North
Carolina delegation, head-il bv Gov
ernor Ehringh'ius, included Seirii.ors
Bailey and Reynolds, the .entire con
gressional delegation from the State,
Attorney General Dennis 0. Brum
mitt. State Treasurer Charl.-s N.
?lohnsOii, Sta'ie Auditor Baxter Dur
ham, National Coiumitteewoinan Miss
Beatrice Cobb, many members of the
State Senate and House ot Represen
tatives, the mayors of pratnlically
every town in Western North Caro
lina, the town councils of most of the
towns, the Chairman of ivarly all the
hoards of county eoni'tiissicwrs,
man v me i:bcrs ol the boards, the sec
retaries ej' the chambers of commerce,
the editors, of most of the newspa
per^. ^representatives ot practically all
the* luncheon and civic cliibs, and
111:111 v ol hers of the citizens of the en
tire State from Charlotte west.
From Jackson county were Mayor C
C. Buchanan, Chairman J. D Cowan
of the Board of County Commission
ers, Chairman J. .C. Allison of the
Board of Aldermen of Sylva, Repre
sentative Din Tompkins, Secretary
II. K. Mont.eit h of the Jackson Conn-,

Davisson,, East. I aPorte, C. N. Pr'co,
Dan K. Moore, II. Gibson, and Mrs.
Emliv Walkingstick, Calvin I^ossie
and Miss Agnes Wayne, of the East
ern Band of Cherokee Indians.
The hearing before Secretary Ickes
consumed three hours of his time,
j Each State was allotted an bonr and
a half. They tossed a coin for the op
' ening and closing, and North Carolina
1 won the itoss. The speakers for this
State were presented by Governor
Ehringhaus, wh'de those for Tennessee.
: were introduced by Governor Hugh
MeCalister. It. A. Browning, the chief
location engineer tor the North Caro
lina Highway commission, opened
with ji.ii e\|N>sition, by maps, charts
and data, explaining t? Mr Ickes that
the easiest, the nearest and 'the most
scenic route of all is that proposed
liy North Carolina, which contem
plates coming southward from Blow
ing Rock via the head of Linv'lle
Gorge, the Grandfather and Mount
Mitchell areas, on to the Fii?gah I
range, to Tennessee Bald, where the
l'is?ah and Bnlsmn ranges join, then
following the Balsams at the head of
< "aney Fork, to Balsam (rap; and
thence across the Balsam range to So
eoGap. . y
Mr. Frank Page called tlte atten
tion of the Secretary to the fact that
while he, Mr. Fage, was chairman of
the State Highway Commission, he
had in very few instances allowed
other considerations than the actual
merits of a case to decide the location
of a road, and that in every instance
the State is now correcting t ho-*' mis
t;ikes, and told the Secretary that he
is quite sure that should the parkway
be located anywhere except on the
line proposed- by Xorth Carolina, that
the mistake will sooner or later be
come apparent, and will have to he
corrected by its relocation and recon
struction. \ i
Congressman R. L Doughton, in a
powerful presentation of North Caro
lina's claim, stated that he is famil
iar with both routes, and knows it
to be a fatft that it is an imjmssibil
i-y to deviate as much as ten m> les, in
the location of the parkway, from the
route proposed by North Carolina,
ami open up to the people the best of
the scenery between the two parks.
After the Teniifsseans had present
ed their side of the matter, Senator
Bailey closed for North Carolina in
what was, perhaps the most convinc
ing presentation of the day. He told
Mr. Ickos that North Carolina wants
nothing except that the matter be de
cided 011 its merits, and that the road
be located where it will prove to be
the greatest benefit and blessing to all
the people, and reminded him that ih
North Carolina the people are already
prepared to care for the tourists,
while facilities for_their care and eon
convenience will have to be provided
in Tennessee. He itold the Secretary
that the road is not North Carolina's
nor Tennessee's, but is to belong to
all the people, and that it is for them
that North Carolina appeals asking
only that, the most meritorious route
be adopted. Other speakers for North
Carolina were Senator Reynolds and
Mr. Robert Lathan, editor of the
Asheville Citizen
The Tennessee contention was that
the mileage of the parkway should be
equally divided between the two
states, and that the committee that
was appointed by Mr. Iekes last win
ter haq already recommended the
route advocated by Tennessee. Speak
ers for Tennessee were Frank Web
ster, General W. T .Kennedy, Senator
McKellar, Congressman Will Taylor,
Senator Nathan Bachman, and Gov
ernor Hi gh McAllister.
Another feature 'hat Mr. Bailey
called attention to is that the North

TODAY and
TOMORROW
(By Frank Parker Stockbridfe)
CLASSICS ... on the screen
Passing a motion picture theatre
the other day I overheard two young
women talking.. They were typical
"cheap" city girls, the sort that con
stoutly seeks " thrills, " mistaking
emotional excitement for happiness.
The picture at the theater wa
" Jane Eyre." "Aw, we don't want
to see (h?t; it's nothing but a elav
sic," said one of them.
That attitude, that anything that
isn't "modern" hasn't anything ii?
it for folk of today, is prevalent, I
observe, /among the unintelligent and
half -educated. Yet "Jane Eyre" has
been one of the great successes of the
films of 1934, as was "Little Wo
men" before it; suggesting to ine
that the scornful attitude of thos>
who regard themselves aa soph is ti
cited i not as widespread as many
people think.
ADVENTURE .... always thrills
A wholesome adventure story
dramatically told that will live long
er tlhan it's author's reputation in
other fields is Robert Louis Steven
son's "Tiea^ure Island." And if any
one has any doubt as to whether a
"clean" motion picture will be ?
box-office success he ought to see the
crowds standing in line at the box
office "where the new film "Treasure
; Island' ' is being shown.
Incidentally, I hear that one of
the large film companies is preparing
to produce that other great "classic"
of English literature, the first novel
written in our language, "Robinson
Crusoe." I have long wondered why
that hadn't been done..
REVIVALS . . . pack 'em in
Further evidence that you can
please the theatre-going public otbeT
than by. constantly giving then,
something a little newer and a lit th
rower than what went before is to
be found in the current revival of
the Gilbert & Sullivan comic operas
in New York, by an English company
which for years has played nothing
else. The largest crowds to attend any
New York play in years swamp the
theater every night.
A great English actor-manager, Sir
N'gel Playfair, died the other day.
His chief claim to fame was that hi
put on a revival of John (toys' "Bo^
gar's Opera'' first produced about
1730, and it had a continuous run
of more than 1,100 performances
proving that English andiences, like
Americans, don't care how ol<l a, thin?
is so long as it is pood.
And, incidentally, one of the most
successful plays given at our Berk
shire Playhouse in my home town
the past summer was Shakespeare's.
"As You Like It."
ANTIQUES L . . and "taste"
The interest in ancient things does
not end with plays and books. There
has grown up a great interest, in the
past forty or fifty years, in the col
lection of what arc generally classi
fied as antiques. Old glass, old chuia.
old books, -.i furniture, old' anything
and everything, "command a market,
even in times of depression.
Here, again, there is great confu
sion in the minds of the many, who
imagine that the value of these
things derives from their age alone.
That has much to do with it, but
discriminating people never buy any
thing merely because it is old. Leav
ing historical associations out of the
picture, the value of antiques de
pends upon wheth r thVy are, first.,
more beautiful than their modem
counterparts; second, better made
and more durable. The beauty may
in part be due to age; and the dur
ability and quality of workmanship
is often testified to ;<y the fact that
they have exited and been in use
for a century or tw/
But when a comjr'on pine shoe
maker's bench, such : I Used to see
the village cobbler w .rking at when
I was a boy, sells for the price of a
grand piano, then I ?an only think
that somebody has iir *e money than
taste.
NOVELTY . . . and ving
It is easy to estaulish a wrong
idea in one direction as in another.
Against those who think nothing is
good that isn't new stand the ones
who think nothing is good unless it
is old. Neither, of course, is true,
Much depends upon what sort of
things ? objects, ideas, entertainment
or whaf not ? one is talking about.
The sort of persons who demand new
ideas about life and living and the
social order are usually the same
type who regard everything else tha1
existed before they were bom as
being oul-moded.

As a matter of fact, nothing is so
durable as a sound idea, and nothing
so evanescent as a new idea that is
not sound. The test of time ha*
resulted since the beginning of
things In the discarding of novelties
in govemnwnt and social relations
and the return to the ancient stand
ards by which the world, on the
whole, has be>en governed. Often the
symbols and the methods are changed,
but no social order has long existed
that was not based from countless
centuries of human experience in
living tnpftw
