Washington,, Sept 17.--The ap pointment by President HooveiM of only five of the six members of the reorganised Federal Tariff Commis sion was characterized^ tonight by Senator Harrison, Democrat, Missis sipi, as **ank partisanship and inex e*aWe? jgg; S^SS I " In a statemffl^&rough the Demo cratic national committee, Harrison added that the personnel of the five members "designated by the presi dent and the method he has employed in that designation is tinged with gross partisanship and discredits Hie work of the commission befcre it be gins to function." Harrison said the appointment of only five members would enabfe the three Republicans "to have full sway in tbereorganizationwork" atod "that means that the heads of some of the divisions having in charge the inves tigation and study of certain sched ules may be changed." "It has been no secret," he asserted, "that certain faithful employes of the government, who have occupied for a long time key positions in the Tar iff Commission, such as heads of divi sions, where their impartial study and fair findings have aroused influential interests who sought unjustified high er tariff rates and who thwarted the interests in such attempts, have been threatened with demotion or dismis sal I "The delayed desires of these in-| terests under' the method employed by the President may now be realiz ed Hie new commission is certainly a hand picked, Presidential job. ; j* "Mr. Fletcher, not a tariff expert,] but a diplomat, whom the President selected as his personal body-guard to accompany him on his South American tour; Mr. Coulter, who was made chief economist of thte Tariff Commission at the instance of Bros sard; Mr. Brassard who was appoint ed as an examiner for the Tariff Com mission through the influence of Sen ator Smoot, and who as an employe and member of the commission, was teresfc^and has been the giekt?sl source of friction within the commis sion and brought discredit upon it "His nomination will certainly pro voke the strongest opposition, and it is in the interest of the country that | Ms confirmation should be rejected by [the Senate. It is unfortunate that Mr. Dennis was the other commissioner, who, with'Brossard, signed a public) statement for the press during thej closing houre of the tariff contwver-1 sy in Congress, that the. tariff bill Would greaHy benefit agriculture.'

Meekins' solution for the liquor problem as pro-1 pounded this morning as he charged! federal grand jury at the opening of j a one week's term of Federal court [ i : i * VOM ? UvXC? Prohibition, declared Judge Meek ins in brief, is here to stay for the (simple reason that it is politically im possible to repal or amend the 18th amendment. Three possible substitutes for pro hibition he listed as: 1. Amendment of tile 18th amend ment to permit the sale of light wines and beers, 2. Open the bar rooms. < $. Government manufacture and sgntrol of liquor. lifcht wines" afid beer really offer no solution on the personal liberty grounds, declared the judge and would make the enforcement of the law a galnst hard liquor many times more difficult. He said the sentiment of the country was so fixed against the open barrooms that he would not waste much time disclosing that angle. Government control seemed to the Judge to offer the beet substitute for prohibition if there were any possi bility of amending the law. He point ed but the profit the government could make and the ruination of the bootleggers through being forced to compete with tiie government. He said the government could sell good liquor for one dollar a gallon and make a profit. But He said this would mean gov ernment ownership and that the Re publican party was from time imme morial dead set against government ownership and that the Democratic party in the South would never en dorse putting the government in the whiskey business. He pointed out that representatives in cdngress from 13 dry states could block the movement to submit the question of the repeal of the amend ment to the states and that after it was submitted that one-fourth of the states could stop it from going thru. Proposition to return to open bar rooms would be defeated by a major' ity of 25,000,000 if submitted to the voters of the United States, he-said. "The American people might as well settle down to fee realization that they have got this problem fo solve and get to work and solve it," seid Judge Meekins. "And I want to appeal not to the sentiment but to the commonsense of the most rabid liquor man in thiB court house to bdp solve this problem." "If you don't think'prohibition is being enforced just look at thb doek* et;" said Judge Meekins. Almost ope hundred eases of prohibition law vio- [I lations are before him'for trial. "If you doht believe, the prohibition law is being enforced just take a trip to the Federal prison at Atlanta and ask those fellows'In there, how they got | Judge Meekins attained the manu Every act of ma|ii^>riiiskey reminds the maker that hie-is breaking the law, m^whtkw^fefdo^'"t"gfor th A i roe mfent ?. ** ' - ?{ ? Raleigh, Sept* 17.?Following |?j^l- ' enthusiastic isass meeting at the Cify# ; Auditorium today, the Tobacco .Relief .. ^Commission, composed at elective rep resentatives $*>m&9?obacco ^wing ^' counties, unanimously elected Frank -?/' A Page, former chairman ?f the North* Carolina Highway Commission and now vice-president of the Wachovia .: Bank and Trust Company in charge of its Raleigh branch, aa,tiie|ea^-S: t the movement It was agreed to work for a minimum sign-up of lflO.COO,: 000 pounds, or one-fifth of the States V^P' . All details of the plan for co-opie* ative association, including the -former ~ of the marketing agreement to '$e signed by growers were left to an ex- , ecutiv6 committee of five to be ep^. pointed by Governor Gardner, , .who was also empowered by the mate meeting to name seven 'additional members of the organisation to rep resent the state at large. The election of Mr. Page,, who, has., not been officially notified of his sel- ' ection and -hus declined to comment thereon, was merely for the organisa tion of the co-operative since permagi-. ent officers will be chosen by the <E: rectqta to be elected by the grower members after the signup. * However, Mr. Page was proposed at the mass meeting as the permanent, full time head of the organisation, ami the suggestion was well received.' His selection is thought to, depend oh-" ' ly on his acceptance. "We must elect on man arid" put" him in charge," declared the Gover nor. "We must have a leader whom -" the tobacco companies from New ' York to London and from Durham to Winston-Salem will regard as strong' '* enough and able enough to parry the" . flag of North Carolia. "I propose to draft Frank Page for * this job, a man who has handled hun dreds of millions of dollars without the strain of any of it leaving kg \ slimp mark upon him. "It is a big undertaking, but I know ' Frank Page is patriotic and rbttfdxte he will underntake it for North Caro lina. The State needs a man of his calibre to lfad it out of this crisis." ' The relief commission fixed 100J- ' 000,000 pounds as the minimum- grtal ' for a sign-up under the co-operative" contract and immediate removal fflttrt' the market, it being decided that 60, 000,000 pounds of the amount should come from the Eastern North Car?:- *?? ? lina belt and 40,000,000 pounds from the Old Belt in Central North Caro - lina. The "border counties" which grow the South Carolina type may ? also be handled separately. r ?'* But in any event all of the stpi- -' rate belt organizations will be tied up under one executive head, dnd sell-'' * ing agent, the job for which Mr. Pa?d' has been picked. i The only serious difference of opin ion developed at the meeting concern- - ed whether or not the co-operative association should seek 100- per-cent or 50 per cent delivery from its meiro bers. "J think it would be unqualified sur- t render and unthinkable defeat to to*: cept less than 100 per-cent" deliveries in 1931, but the other plan may ba the part of wisdom for the 1930 cropas - an expedient and recognition of the situation-we have confronting us;" de clared Governor Gardner. - ? . This point, aloig; with tithprs,. was left to the executive committee fer final determination. Governor Gardner came in for high praise at both meetings. The eiraaajs sion gave him a rising -vote of thanks* and at the mass meeting James C. Stone, vice chairman of the Federal Farm Board declared: "I have never 'seen tny Governor of any State of whom I thought mora highly and I doubt if you appreciate how fortunate you are in having "such a man as Governor in a crisis like this.' ?
