(lovernor Clyde R. Hoey was tre
mendously impressed with the scenic
beauty of the Cl eat Smoky Mountains
National Park on last Saturday, when
he made a complete trip through the
park with a motorcade carrying about
l?5 people.
The motorcade began here, and wnt
to Black Camp dap. From there over
the one-way road to Heintooga Hald.
I-Just as the party arrived there a sud-
tden shower came up, and after thirty
minutes wait the party moved on, but
not until the Governor had viewed the
valley and towering mountains beyond.
Several times after leaving Hein
tooga, the party stopped in order that
the Governor could see the view which
is afffidiA.frfll..thetep of the moun
tain. A brief stop was made at Round
Bottom CCC camp, and again at
Smokemont.
The motorcade went direct to Gat
linburg for lunch, although a throng
of several hundred visitors had stop
ped at Newfound Gap to see the Gov
ernor. The pilot car, in charge of J.
Ross Eakin, superintendent of the
park, was unaware of this, however,
the motorcade did not stop.
At Gatlingburg the group quickly
assembled for lunch, and afterwards,
Chas. K. Ray, r., chairman of the Ad
visorv Committee of Western Caro
lina, which organization 'sponsored the
motorcade, introduced the Governor.
During the course of his remarks,
he said:
"Someone has 'said that, now is the
time to take oil' one's shirt 'and get
this park ooinpleU d," the governor
smiled. "I have never be lieved in
tearing one's shirt about anything be
cause I do not believe that always gets
the desired results, but. I am willing
to take off whatever is necessary to
push this park to completion.. .. .
"I have been tremendously .iimres-.
ed by what we have just .seen and I
feel more , strongly than ever. that wo
must go to work at once and let noth
ing stand in the Way of : acquiring, the
necessary acreage.
"The Great Smoky Mountains Na

a thing of national interest. If we

Midst Of Supreme Court
Hattle When Taken
By Death
Death stepped in and took Senator
Joseph T. Robinson,. ti-J, Democratic
Moor leader, and kingpin of the new
deal in congressional matters, as he
slept, early Wednesday morning. His
sudden, and "untimely passing" was a
great shock to all the nation.
It was an RolHiison's shoulders, that
the supreme court matter rested. The
Arkansas Senator had prepared a sub
stitute court bill which he and the
President believed would pass the
Senate.
Some senatorial leaders expressed
the belief that the court controversy
might be terminated speedily as a I
result of the floor leader's death. I
President Roosevelt personally I
mourned the passing of the Senator, i
who had been a member and Demo-
cratio leader of the upper house for
fifteen years. The President said; I
"A pillar of faith is gone. A soldier '
has fallen with his face to the battle'
. . . he has fought a goo'd tight; he
has finished hi course; he has kept
the faith." . . '

Robinson said that, it .was the -coin'!

Gasoline Prices
Advance Half Cent
Motorists here were confronted
with an advance of half a cent
a gallon on gasoline Tuesday
morning. The new price was gen
eral with all oil companies. i
No explanation was made as to
the cause of the advance, as or
ders had come from "officials
higher up."
Service station operators re
ported that local motorists made
but little complaint on the new
price, while visitors from South
Carolina were unable to undor
tand why gas here is four cents
higher than m the Palmetto State.
Capus M. Waynick, director of
purchase and contract for North
Carolina, estimated the half-cent
increase would raise the state's
gasoline bill $-l,00 a month.
