70 year old Sylva citizen, who
passed on at his home, Teusday, were
conducted at the First Baptist church
here, Wednesday afternoon, by the
pastor, Rev. H. M. HdcuU, and Rev.
Thad F. Deitz.
Mr. Cunningham had been in poor
health for the past eighteen months
or two years, and had been bed-fast
for several months. For many years
a prominent citizen of Swain county,
and for 13 years a member of the
Board of Education of that county,
Mr. Cunningham moved to Sylva
seven years ago, and has engaged in
the mercantile business on Cullowhee
road.
He was a member of the Sylva
Baptist church, and of Oconee Lodge
of Masons, at Bryson City. In 1934
Mr. Cunningham was married to Miss
Esther Sawyer, of Almond, who survived
by three sons, Floyd and Glenn
Cunningham, of Bryson City, and
Thomas Cunningham, of Sylva, and
two daughters, Misses Margaret and
Bertha Cunningham, both of Sylva.

Henson Withdraws
W. Lee Henson, who several weeks
ago announced his candidacy for the
office of Register of Deeds, has announced
that he will not be a candidate.
Mr. Henaon states that after
careful consideration he has decided
that it will not be beat for him to be
a candidate in the forthcoming primary,
as he iz ercpio; ed at the Sylva
Pap ..T board Compare's plant, and
will not have the time to make an
active campaign. Mr. Henson wishes
to express his appreciation for the
expressions of confidence and support
that the has received from his friends
in all parts of the county, and to voice
his hope and conviction that the
tickets nominated in the June primary
will be elected by a majority
in November.
This leaves in the race for the
democratic nomination for Regiflter
of Deeds, Mrs. Margaret Sherill
Roane, the present incumbent, Roscoe
Higdon, Earl Reed, Doug, Davis,
and Glenn a Hughes.

LINA, APRIL 21, 1938
THIS WEEK DC
WASHINGTON
- Washington, D. C., April 21, (A.uto- ^
caster)?The defeat of the President'*
Government Reorganization bill by
the House of Representatives, after |
the Senate had passed it by a narrow j
margin, is regarded here as evidence'
that Congress has reasserted its in- j
dependence and resumed its status as
an equal and coordinate branch of
the government.
The action of the House is, moreover,
the most severe blow to the
President's prestige which Mr. Ttoouevelt
has yet received. Last year the
Senate refused to grant him power to
reorganize the Supreme Court. The
lower House was regarded as more
amendable to the wishes of the
White House, especially this yeer
when every member comes up tor
re-election.
Congress Revolts
Defeat of the Reorganization bill
i3 merely one indication of the growing
revolt of Congress against Exe..
i ? * A1 J
cutive control. Anotner is me actum
of the Senate in elminating from tha
current tax bill of the reform cliaracteristics
as well as all other itaon
on which the President and his advisors
had set much store. Whaft
more, several amendments KOI
drafted to relieve business of QCftato
tax burdens, a move certainly WXXl
contemplated by the original framm.
In both the above cases, the njOlt
between Congress and the Administration
has been squarely one of
policy. This is taken by many to
indicate that Congress has grown Ottt
of sympathy to the earlier avowed
aims of the New Deal and is determined
to stop further encroachments
by the Executive into Legislative domains
of power, *
330,000 Wire "NO"
The belief that the Reorganization
bill was but part of a scheme to concentrate
more power into the Executive's
hands is shared by many members
of both Houses. It certainly
was shared by many people who <3oluged
the offices of both telegraph
companies with 330,000 wire*, r&S
to mention uncounted letters,
universally disapproving of the proposal.
An eleventh-hour and strangely
unsolicited denial of dictatorial ambitions
by the President encouragsd
?1 foarc The left
1 it II 11^1 lilei: l cuiaj vv4 Wl
handed compliment to the Senate
that that bodys approval of the
organization bill proved that certain
interests could not "purchase Senatorial
votes by organized letters and
telegrams" was particularly resented
in the House. It was qpenly charged
that the Presidents emissaries had
tried to influence votes by threats
of reprisals and promises of patronage
and allotments of Federal funds.
Students of political strategy here
i are candid in their belief that the
j Administration sensed ultimate de!
feat for the Reorganization bill even
! while spokesmen op the floor of the
; House were claiming victory by fantastic
majorities,
Ntw Pump-prlmlnf
They point to the well-timed announcement
by the President of a
. gigantic new pump-priming drive to
'speed recovery. This had every indication
of having been devised to
' diverts popular attention from the
. Reorganization debacle. The announcement
was devoid of exact details
lifltil several days after the first
press release and the reports differed'
greatly as to the actual amount
of mdney to be poured down the dry
economic well.
Figures ranging from one and a i
half 1o six billions of dollars have
, beat* mentioned but shrewd observers
point out that whatever the
amount is finally named, a Congrea.
signal appropriation is necessary be"
fore actual spending can begin.
No Blank Checks
With the present attitude of Congress
in mind, doubts are voiced in
Capitol circles that the new multibillion
spending program will re.
semble those of the past in anything
save its color and position on the
Treasury report. Former relief appropriations
were handed over to
the Executive in practically blank
check form. Even the ultimate pur
pose for which the money would be
f spent was left largely to the discretion
of the President,
. It is extremely doubtful if such
will'.be the case this time for Con,
gress is in no mood to surrender one
of its dearest prerogaitves which is
control of the purse-strings. With
no fear of patronage reprisals, opposition
to Executive dictation can hold
; no great political risks.

ADVANCE OUTSIDE THE COUNT*
TODAY and I
TOMORROW
(By Frank Parker 8tockbridge) j
CANALS '* . for recreation v
The Federal Government is pro- \
posing to buy the Chesapeake and ?
Ohio Canal and turn it into a public
recreational waterway. I can vouch ?
for its recreational possibilities, for
in my adolescent ; youth in Washington
the old 'C & O" canal was.
one of the favorite playgrounds of , rthe
boys in their middle 'teens whom
i used to go with.
Originally planned by George (
Washington to provide a waterway
between the navigable lower waters
of the Potomac and the upper reaches
of that turbulent river, the C 6c O ' >
canal was not finished until 1850,
after railroads had begun to replace > j
waterways for inland transporta- *
tion. But it carried a good deal of
slow-moving freight for 75 years,
and it was a grand place to swim,
fish and paddle a canoe.
I remember the winter of 1886-87
when the Potomac River froze solid
at Washington and the canal provided
wonderful skating. Three
other boys and myself started to
skate from Washington to Cumber- >. C
land, 150 miles. There is no more
beautiful scenery in America than
the wooded mountains through which
the Potomac falls and up which the
C & O canal climbs by a series of
ERIE . . . "Clinton's Folly'' .
Another waterway which I knew
well as a young man is the Erie
Canal, which runs 300 miles across
Mew York from Lake Erie to the
Hudson River. The Erie Canal was / r
the dream of a great and far-seeing
American patriot, DeWitt Clinton.
Clinton was first to realize, after the
Revolution, that the Northwest
Territory was bound to fill up with
settlers, whose products would have
to be shipped to the seaboard. Railroads
had not be-n invented. The
only water routes to the sea were
the Ohio and Mississippi valleys, 'v.'
leading to iWw Orleans, and the O .
Great Lakes, blocked by Niagara ?
Falls, and even if commerce could
ijet by the Falls it would go through
Canada and the ice-bound St. Lawrence
River. . >
"Clinton's Folly," as his political
jnemies ridiculed his canal scheme, nade
New York City the metropolis
" * J* -i- ?11
51 America, ior it cuiiceiiuatcvi cm wa
the freight originating in the basin of
the Great Lakes at Buffalo, and carlied
it by water to the Hudson River ' j.
\xid the seaport at its mouth. Philalelphia
was America's largest city
hi 182$, when the Erie Canal was
opened, and Boston second.
iUtM . . accident cause
More fatal automobile accidents
Irt ceueed by glaring headlights
Mo by almost any other single*
aUN. Every driver fervently wishes
&ere were some way to kill the
~ i i i* ~ -1
glare. Jbucn a way nas deen iuuhu.
TJid a company has been formed ta
manufacture a new material which,
when used in headlight lenses and .. i
ipplied to windshields, reduces the
glare of an approaching car's light:*
to a couple of bright purple spofc\ ?
whil estill permitting them to illuminate
the roadway.
It .will probably be years before
this new anti-glare system cornea
Into general use, just as it took years
after the invention of shatter-proof
glass before car manufacturers generally
adopted it. Now many state.; \
refuse to license a car which is not
equipped with safety glass, and I
anticipate that in time every car will
be required to have anti-glare headlights
and windshields.
Some day, beyond doubt; driving
on our highways will be a much
safer occupation than it is- today. ?
Autqmobiles have already killed
more people in 40 years thai* were
killed in all of the wars this nation
has been engaged in. >
FLYING new to man
In proportion to the number of
passengers and the mileage traversed,
the annual death-toll of aviation
is far less than that of motoring.
. News of fatal flying accidents
gets bigger headlines than any other
kind of sudden death because, I be
lieve, "most people have a greater
fear of falling from a height than
of anything else. Psychologists say :
that new-born babies fear but two
things: loud noises and falling. ? *
