Passes AAA Amend ments by 3 to 1 Mar gin; Attack on Cotton Tax Fails Washington, June 18. ? Amend ments intended to protect the New Deal's farm program from a Su preme Court death sentence of "un constitutionality" today swept through the House by a three-to one majority. Carefully phrased by Secretary Wallace and his aides in an effort to meet standards set by the high court in the NRA decision, the AAA amendments, which have kicked about Congressional corri dors for months, now looked to the Senate for final approval. Opposition there, which last year blocked action on similar legisla tion covering the handling and dis tribution of farm products, had lessened and leaders planned to push the revamped bill to an early vote. So listless was the House contest over the AAA program that a rec ord vote was not forced. Speaker Byrns counted 168 members stand ing in favor of passage to 52 against. Party lines split The long fight against the cott.-n processing tax by New England tex tile interests ran into an 87 to 17 vote rebuff on Wigglesworth's (It Mass.) motion to have cotton pro ducers paid benefits directly out of the treasury. Although some Republicans, ana a few Democrats, said they doubted the constitutionality of the provi sion authorizing Wallace to "order" marketing agreements for handlers of a half-dozen commodities, they apparently were anxious to retain essentials of the farm adjustment law and willing to leave debatable points to the courts. Under the "order" device which replaced the originally proposed licensing ppwer, the Secretary may order marketing agreements?if 50 per cent of the handlers be volume agree, or if two-thrids the farmers affected in the given class wish it? for handlers of milk, tobacco, fruits (except apples and fruit for can ning), walnuts and pecans, vege tables (including soybeans, but ex cepting vegeables for canning), and naval stores or turpentine. In the case of milk only, prices to producers may be fixed, and milk retailers also may be subject to the "orders." A Senate vote on the Administra tion's social security bill was block ed today by an all-day debate over an amendment to exempt private pension plans and repeated Demo cratic attacks on the constitution ality of the measure. Senate leaders had hoped to dis pose of the bill today, but when debate on the Clark amendment dragged on, they finally compro mised with an agieenfent to vote on it tomorrow and limit debate so that the entire bill would be dis posed of by nightfall. The amendment was offered by Senator Clark (D.-Mo.), who con tended many private systems were more liberal tha~ the plan proposed by the- Government. He sought to exempt from the contemplated six per cent tax against employers and employee all companies which had plans aa good or better than the public plan. Support was given the amend ment by Senator Qeinge . (D.-Ga.), mm of the Senate's lawyers, who contended there was serious question of the constitu tionality of the proposed law. He argued that unkss the dark amend ment was adopted the plan might wnck the private pension systems near in effect, then be declared in valid by the courts ,and leave et^ ployea no protection. that, mi the other head, without the Clark amendment the law would be constitutional, bat that adoption of the amendment would cast doubt oa the constitutionality of the taxes.

Fountain Area Store Operator and 36 Gal lons of Rum Nabbed by Officers Greenville, June 17.?Fate Ed wards, operator of a store in the Fountain community, was held, un der bond today for his appearance in County court here Tuesday week after officers raided his place Sat urday and allegedly discovered 86 gallons of whiskey. Edwards was permitted to go at liberty under bond of $200. The raid was made by Sheriffs officers who said the liquor was secreted in a trap in a coal bin. An alleged liquor-seller and a woman were taken into custody ear lier Saturday by the same raiding party. In addition to the liquor charge, the man was charged with cohabiting. The latter charge was also filed against the woman. The liquor haul was one of the largest reported here in the last several days, although numbers of bootleggers with smaller amounts of contraband rum have fallen into the toils of the law in a series of raids from the sheriffs office. ENTERTAINED BENJAMIN MAY CHAPTER SATURDAY Wilson, June 18.?Mrs. C. E. Moore and Mrs. Hugh S. Sheppard were hostesses to Major Benjamin May Chapter of D. A. R. of Farm ville Saturday afternoon frqm four to six at the Woman's Club, which was attractively decorated with stars and stripes as it was Flag day, and also many beautiful flowers were used. This is a large chapter and members reside in Wilson, Fountain, Greenville and Kins ton. The chapter had as their guests several members from the Thomas Hadley chapter of Wilson. Dr. Ellis of the First Baptist church opened the meeting with a beautiful devotional service, and in spiring talk on our flag and its sym bolism. He spoke of the beauty of the flag, and recalled the cost in human blcod of its creation, and sounded a call to live worthily of its ideals. The president, Mrs. Beasley, pre sided over the business session. Af ter all business was concluded, Mrs. Lloyd Horton, chairman of program committee introduced the past presi dent, Mrs. T. C. Turnage, who made an interesting talk. The speaker of the evening was lawyer John Hill Paylor of Farm ville, who made a most informing address on Citizenship. The musical part of the program was two lovely solos rendered by Miss Mary K. Jerome of Atlanta, Ga., accompanied at the piano by Mrs. James Joyner. This was followed by two instrumen tal selections by Miss Serene Turn age, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Turnage, of Farmville, who is spe cilizing in music. After the meeting was over Mrst Hinnant, with three of her efficient and attractive pupils gave three dancing numbers, which were ap preciated and received great ap plause. The refreshments consisted of cream moulded in blocks, with flag in center and individual cakes decorated. Then all were invited to the punch room, where punch was served. 1 SWIMMING POOL OPENED TO ADULTS I Farmville's Municipal Swimming Pool was re-opened Wednesday in compliance with State, County and City Health requirements, restrict ing children under 14 years of age, due to the danger of the Infantile Paralysis epidemic throughout the State. Local authorities regret to have to enforce these restrictions, but for [health's sake among the children, na turally it becomes necessary. The pool has been closed for some time to all, but was reopened Wednesday to permit adults to partake of its refreshing benefits, as other towns in this section are doing. Water has recently been changed in the pool and chemically treated; and all people using the pool are urged to cooperate with the manage ment in conforming to the health re quirements. I Season tickets have been called in and proper adjustments and refunds allowed, and for the balance of the summer block tickets of 26 will be mid for 12.00. I Remember the pool is open to peo ple above 14 years of age only, and the hours are from 8 to 12 a. m., 2 to 6 and 8 to 10 p. m..

The gubernatorial race (chiefly between Clyde R. Hoey and A. H. Graham) is a bit spotted from the standpoint of public inter est throughout the State. You can talk to travelers and one will tell you that Hoey is running wild while another will avow that Graham is far in the lead. Most of the disinr \ terested lads getting about over the State will tell you, however; that the campaign has not progressed far enough to raise many bets. The po litical gamblers want to see the horses warm up before they lay the long green on the mahogany. r , ? STIRRING ? When Thad Eure, principal clerk of the House of Rep resentatives for several terms, an nounced that he would bo a candidate for Secretary of State next spring; he didn't stop there. No sir, Mr. Eure is determined to unhorse Stacey Wade, incumbent, and while this is written the contender is ip and do ing in the little game of vote-getting. On the other hand, Mr. Wade is no slouch at snagging the ballots and a merry race may be expected by one and all. IRKED?Governor Ekringhaus is a mild-mannered man but once you get his ire to the boiling point watch for the steam to pop off. Down at the Governor's conference at Biloxi, Mississippi, a representative of Har ry L. Lumpkins, head man of the federal relief program, said the money is not being spent politically. North Carolina's own Chief Execu tive replied that such was repidly becoming the case, or words to that effect. Of courfe, Mr. Lumpkins nor his representative liked that not, but they picked the right man to get them told if they do start in to playing human miseries for votes in 1936. SPEAKER?Representative W. L. l.umpkin, of Franklin, is doing a bit of letter-writing these days in the hope of lining things up for his campaign for Lieutenant Governor; Meantime, Representative R. Gregg Cherry, chairman of the 1983 House Finance Committee, is getting back in his law office in Gastonia await ing the reception of his unofficial an nouncement for the speakership. Major Cherry says he doaen't intend to plow up the State Capital in an effort to be made Speaker but if you want a fight on your hands just tackle one of those Cherry boys. It looks interesting from this distance. RELIEF?The State system of textbooks rentals authorized by the recent Legislature is about to be come a reality. The Commission named has been, sworn in and plans are being made to make books avail able by the time the first country schools open in July. The task is no child's play and setting up of any decent system will require time. Nevertheless, when parents learn they have to "put out" less for school books next year than formerly, may be they can spare a kind word or two for the boys who stayed two months or more in Raleigh, at their own ex pense, trying to make such things possible. HOPEFUL?Dr. Ralph McDonald, who represented Forsyth county in the 19SS General Assembly as an anti-Bales taxer, now says that if he can get his hands on about $15, 000 he may consider running for Governor. The Charlotte Observer remarks that Dr. McDonald is an optimist to think that he would have a chance of election with such a small campaign fund. But worse I than Dr. McDonald's anti-sales tax friends .are somewhat divided. There's Senator John T. Burrus, of Guilford, who would like to be gov ? ernor according to current reports,! and others that have similar as pirations. If the antiB would have hope of putting a ticket across the barrier they had best start training; one hourse instead of encouraging a flock of colts gallop over the poll-' tical pasture. HORTON?Senator W. P. Horton, of Chatham, complicated things for one or two people when he definitely an nounced that he will be a candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Senator Paul D. Grady, of Johnston, already has Ms hat in the ring and in addi tion to Lumpkin Senator Carl. L. Bailey, of Washington, and formes Senator George McNeill, of Cumber* land, both are considered real threat* for the post Some people are won dering why the Number Two post in the State Government has suddenly become so popular.

Text book Purchase and Rental Commis 1 sion yesterday. If the commission can make rental textbooks available to 60 or 70 per cent of the pupils of the State by the time school opens, it will consider it has done all possi ble under the circumstances. However, members of the com mission present at the meeting yes terday decided to make as much progress as possible toward rent ing books to the* pupils during the coming year. To that end it em* ployed a full time secretary, E; N. Peeler, for Ova years business man ager of the Greensboro schools. He will be paid a salary of $2,400 & year and will take office as soon as possible. ? ? " '-a ? j a. m 1- tv | Sate superintendent uiyue w win, chairman of the commission,, explained the salary by saying that he believed that the salary should be in line with present school sal aries, Attorney General A. A. F. Sea* well agreed that that the job was far bigger than the salary but said that he believed Mr. Peeler had "a wonderful opportunity" as well as a difficult task. 1 "Definite plans and policies for handling the State textbook ren tal system will be announced at the earliest possible moment," said Mr. Erwin, in a statement concern ing Mr, Peeler's appointment. He added orally, however, that there was no chance of. getting rental books to those schools, especially in the mountains, which open during the summer and that a large per centage of the schools operating more than usual terms also were not expected to receive advantage of the new system this yean If rented books are not available to a school when it opens, it proba bly will not get them until the open* icg of school a year later, said Mr. Erwin. It waa Mr. Sawell who sug gested that a school might get ren Ital books for some grades this fall while other grades would have to continue to buy. Mr. Erwin frankly admitted the probability that in the confusion of starting a new system a school or grade scheduled to receive ren tal books might not have them in time for the opening of school. "We'll just have to oak the people to be patient until we get this thing started," the State Snperintendeeat said. Yet as a veteran school man, he realized what it might mean to the work of an eight month school term, to start off the year without books. For that reason the commis sion is more anxious to do well tr? try to do more than is humanly pos sible* - ? a *' -j it iV Wftat plan oz aisinouuim uiv wm mission will adopt is yet to be de cided. It is thought probable, how ever, that it will have the publishers ship direct to the school superin tendents, after the superintendents have made the estimate&v of their neqd*. How well this system will work only experience can prove. Moreover, the superintendents prob ably- will have some difficulty in estimating:. J The new law allows pupils to purchase if they had rather pay than rent and as them will be a large number of second-hand as well as new books available for purchase, some of which sell for as little as jthe one third cost which the State jmtands to charge as mntal, the su< perintendents might easily be too. conservative in making their esti mates. Certainly they will find some difficulty- in making them un til the system is well established. Mr. Peeler, the newly employed secretary, went two years to David son College then got his A. B. de gree at Heidelberg University at tiffin, Ohio. Later he got his M. A. degree at the University of North ! Carolina where he has done some 'work toward a doctorate. He taught in the Spencer schools land later served four years as pritt cipafc. of the Granite Quarry High School in Rowan county. For the past five years he has been busi ness manager of the Greensboro City Schools, where he bed charge of the city*-;own textbook rental system. t-ir ?' >??? 1 ? 1,1,1 " 1 '? ^ -% I j The beneficiaries of the statue ?o fclways find the causes of "social ills in nature rather tW in the constitu Farraville Has If s First Case of Infantile Paralysis " Health Department Re ports Total of Nine Cases in Pitt County To Date j The Health Officer, Dir. Ennett, ? desiring: to keep the public in gen eral posted at to the Infantile Pa ralysis situation, informed the En terprise: Wednesday, morning that 2 new cases, of Infantile Paralysis in Pitt County had been reported within the: past week One case is a .colored child. 6 months of age of lAyden township, and the other a white child. 3 years of age in the itown of Farmville. The report of thw last case came to the health department today. I Dr. Ennett states that this makes a total of nine cases in Pitt County, and ha regards the situation serious enough for the health department to dfecourage all gatherings of what ever nature which brings small chil dren together. So far, the health department has not seen fit to prohibit such gather ings, feeling that the citizens will willingly cooperate with tho health department to such an extent as to make prohibitory measures unneces sary, In view of the fact that small children axe at the most susceptible age for contracting Infantile. Paraly sis, it would seem to be the part of prudence for parents to keep such children from gatherings of all kinds and to restrict, neighborhood visiting to. the minimum, ' Dr. Ennett states that, according to reports from the Stats Health Department, the number of cases of Infantile Paralyia in the past week has doubled, the total last Saturday being 134 known cases, the highest number ever reported in the State for a single year. And in connection, with this statement, it should he said that all previous epideimcs have not reached their peak until thej month of August or September. j Tobacco Growers To Vote in Referendum ?? ' . * . . ' J Farmers Must Return Ballots to the County I Agent'a Office Before 7 p. m. on June 29 ?pHMfSaSMUS Ballots on which growers may cost their votes in thq flue-cured to bacco referendum are being distri buted to farm agents in the tobacco counties. The question at issue is whether the growers wish to have the tobacco adjustment program continued in the future. The present program is due to expire with the 1985 crop. E. Y. Floyd, of State College, an nounced that all' share-tenants, share croppers, renters, and landowners who are actually engaged inthe pro , ducticm of flue-cured tobacco are eligible to vote in the referendum,: ! regardless of whether they have 'signed adjustment contracts. When the county agents have re ceived the ballots, they will distri- j bute them among the growers, Floyd said. The growers may sign the bal lbts and return them to the county agent's office any time before 7 p. m. on June 29. Or if a grower wishes to vote an unsigned ballot, he may do so by de livering it to the county agent in person on June 29. If the program is continued, a few minor changes may be made, but it will be essentially the same as at present* Floyd pointed out The future program contemplates the adjustment of production to con sumption, with benefit payments Which would tend to equalize any difference there might be between the market price and a fair parity pliC&a i Claude T.

The, announcement that Chevrolet intended to adhere to this time-trted policy, was made by C. P. Fisken, advertising manager, who spoke in enthusiastic terms of the results the company has obtained through newspaper advertising, In which it has long been a conspicuous leader, "We are constantly on the look ut for any means of making our appeal to the public more effective," said Mr. Fisken, "but up to date we have found nothing to compare with, the newspaper as the 'main highway' for our advertising expenditures." The day's sessions were in the. na ture of round-table discussions, and the subject was referred to the deal ers for expressions of opinion. At the close of the discussion, which was strongly in support of the plan, the dealers voted it their unanimous, endorsement The conference, held under the supervision of William E. Holler, vice president and general sales man ager, sought -to obtain free inter change of ideas on the mutual prob lems of the company and its dealers. Several round-table discussions were on the program, and dealers were in vited to offer constructive sugges tions on advertising and other sub jects relating to their business. Sev eral suggestions made at a previous conference of the same type were adopted with excellent results, and the cementing of dealer-factory re lations, made possible through the conference, more than justified the understanding, in the opinion of Chevrolet officials. While the meeting waa termed a "dealers' advertising conference," its scope was wider than that name would imply, Mr. Holler explained. The sessions touched upon every phase of Chevrolet dealer activity? new cars and trucks, used cars, parts, accessories, service, accounting and business management, and financing. Representatives of each Chevrolet department outlined for the group of dealers the company's plans for the summer, so that when the deal era left Detroit they took with them a; complete picture of what is ih prospect. . ;,? ? 7 v" ,~ * j t ' ? \ .
