person or group of persons.
Art Department
At Public Forum
Composer and Conduct
or Speaks on National
Art
On Tuesday evening, April 20, Mr.
Monoah Leide-Tedesco, composer and
conductor, was in charge of the Farm
ville unit of Public Forum. Mr.
Leide-Tedesco, who has conducted
symphonies in Cdhtral Europe and
the New Chamber Symphony of New
York, bad as his topic for the eve
ning "National Art?Its Use And
Abuses," and he used as the general
theme for this discussion "America?
the Cradle of the New Arts."
In the beginning of his discussion
Mr. Leide-Tedesco made observations
bearing upon the significance of the
fine arts in connection with the state
and mentioned some of the benefits
and detriments to the Arts as a re
sult of Nationalistic influences ex
erted by the governments in European
countries.
Of particular interest was the con
trast which the speaker made be
tween the artist and his interests of
former times and the artist of today.
Artists now, according to Mr.
Leide-Tedesco have a wider diversity
of interests and are more vital forces
in a community than were they for
merly. y
In discussing the Nationalization of
are the speaker used as illustrations
Art in Russia and Germany and the
character of work done by Artists
living under dictatorships. From
this discussion he arrived at the
subject of America's being the new
seat of culture. As a farther de
velopment of the Arts Mr. Leide
Tedesco recommended a National
School of Fine Arts and stated that
with such a school existing it would
no longer be necessary for Ameri
cans to leave their own country to
study.?(M. H. Benson.)

The other parts that have bA

Walnuts Turn Waste! |
Space Into Props'
Black walnut trees, a good sJrce
of cash income, can be grown in Ace
corners, along ditch and stream tmks
and other so-called "waste pljp"
aboyt the farm!
An average North Carolina Am
could easily have 50 or more lu:k
walnut trees, said R. W. Graer,,
extension forester at State Colle.
The nuts from the trees can belar
vested annually, and where a Effi
cient number of trees are product, a
few can be cut from time to|me
for timber.
There is a big demand for lack
walnut lumber, Graeber pointejmt,
and high prices are paid for tni in
good condition.
The income from the nuts is aplp
ful addition to the regular casl in-1
come of the farm. Figuring thliuts
from one tree at $2.50 a year, Arop
of 50 trees would produce arJ an
nual income of $125 from thlsale
of nuts alone. I
Some farmers do much betteAhan
that, Graeber added. James (Idle,
of Yadkin County, got $29.85 fl the
nuts from seven trees last yeJ?an
average of $4.26 per tree.
Caudle gathered 18 bushels clnuts
from the trees and cracked! 99.5
pounds of kernels which hel sold
wholesale at 30 cents a pounc
"This may not appear to be i arge
sum, but remember it came i m a
bare handful of trees growii on
odd spots around the farm," ( leber
commented.
Four-H club members in idkin
County who use a nut-crackii ma
chine, he added, find that the i chine
greatly reduces the amount o work
required to get the* kernels it of
the nuts, and they are makin "tidy
sums of money."

WHAT ABOUT FARMERS?
By HUGO SIMS
(Washington Correspondent)
The, decisions of the Supreme Court
endered last week, upholding thel
lational Labor Relations (Wagner) I
Let,'maiic an epoch in the history of
apital and labor. In fact, the Court {
ias modernized the interstate com-1
nerce clause by holding, for the first [
ime, that industries organized on a|
national scale are within the regula-l
tory powers of Congress when inter- {
state . commerce is uw uvmiuou*
factor in their activities."
Five cases were before the Court,
all involving appeals from ruling of
the National Labor Relatione Board,
set up by the Wagner Act and grow
ing out of the discharge of employes
who had been active in labor organi
zation. In one case, involving a
transportation company which con
ceded that it was engaged in inter
state business, the Court was unani
mous in declaring that it must obey
the Act
Another case involved the Asso
ciated Press and while four justices
reserved decisions as to whether the
news agency was engaged in inter
state commerce the majority of the
Court, including Chief Justice Hughes
and Justices Brandeis, Stone, Cardoso
and Roberts, made the law applica
ble to the (AP). Justices Sutherland,
Van Devanter, McReynolds and But
ler dissented on the ground that this
involved the unrestricted freedom, of
the press and threatened the objec
tivity of the news reports. We will
refer to this case again below.
In three other cases affecting man
ufacturers who relied on many pre
vious decisions excluding materials
*?fmm Federal
lUCmiy ?W1IUHH.VW*VM ?
regulation, the Court, by a five-to
four division, broadened the com
merce clause as never before. Gov
ernment lawyers'were jubilant, hold
ing the decisions were important
guides to future legislation dealing
with industrial conditions of national
economic and social concern.
Without attempting to give the
full reasoning of the Court, or of the
dissenting justices, in the case of the!
Jones and Laughlin Company, a steel j
company owning mines, railroads,
steamships and other subsidary cor
porations, the Court attempted a di
stinction between national and local
commerce and decided that labor dif
ficulties in the manufacturing works
at Pittsburgh and Aliquippa "affect
ed commerce" and for that reason
could be the proper subject of Fed
eral legislation designed to prevent
the burdening or obstruction of in
.terstate commerce.
The Court made a distinction be
tween national and local commerce,
as provided in the Constitution, and
pointed out that industrial activities
in close and substantial relation to
interstate commerce are subject to
; congressional control, although warn
jing that this control should not Be
extended so far as to include "ef
fects so indirect and remote that to
embrace them in view of our complex
society would effectually obliterate
the distinction between what is na
tional and what is local and create a
completely centralised government."
Repeating the words of a previous
?? ? - * U J
decision, tne muex wuducc uwutm
that "whatever amounts to more or
less constant practice and threatens
to obstruct , or unduly to burden the
freedom of interstate commerce is
within the regulatory power of Con
gress, under the commerce clause,
and it is primarily for Congress to
, consider and decide the effect of th<
. danger and meet it." Moreover, in
, tra-state activities by reasbn of doe*
i and intimate relation to inter-stafe
. commerce may fall within Federa
I control. The fact that employes con
I cerned were engaged in productioi
_ was held not f determinative by th<
Court which insisted that the ques
tion was "the effect upon interstate
l commerce of the labor practice in

j voivea.

Will Deliver Address
At Fort Raleigh, Aug.,
18, Which is 350th An
niversary of the Birth
of Virginia Dare
Representative Lindsay Warren ;
visited President Roosevelt, Tuesday,
and came away with, the announce- ,
ment that the President would deliver ,
the address at Fort Raleigh, North i
Carolina, on Auguat 18, which is the <
860th anniversary of the birth of i
Virginia Dare, the first child of Eng
lish parentage to he born on the ,
American continent, and the same 1
anniversary of the disappearance of ,
Sir Walter Raleigh'a Lost Colony.
The Resident assured Mr. Warren <
that the only thing which would pre
vent his appearance at the celebration
would be the final adjournment of
Congress occurring that'week. Mr.
Warren went to the White House
alone and did not divulge his mission
until after his visit.
The President also approved the
issuance by the Post Office Depart
ment of a special commemorative
stamp for ^he occasion, the first one
ever issued pertaining to North Caro
lina.
At the last session of Congress Mr.
Warren secured the passage of a bill
for a commemorative coin and at this
time presented the President with
the first one that was issued.
Hugs Sum Paid
To NXFsnssrs
Pitt County with $434,
174 Leads in Distribu
tion of $9,516,070
Raleigh, April 21.?North Carolina
farmers have received the sum of
$9,516,070.60 to date for co-operating
in the farm conservation program
during 1986, Dean I. O. Schaub of
State College, announced yesterday.
This sum has been paid to 157,595
landowners and tenants throughout
the State and is based on 91,561 ap
plications filed with the AAA through
the county and State committees in
charge of the conservation program
in this State.
Pitt County, with $434,174.60 paid
to 4,631 farmers, leads in the amount
of money earned in replacing soil
depleting with soil conserving crops.
Cleveland County farmers have
been paid $371,950.71; Edgecombe
$318,293.89; Johnston, $387,921.24;
Nash, $366,521.24; Robeson, $307,
138.02; Wilson, $824,676.39; Greene,
$244,116.80; Harnett, $246,774.64;
Sampson, $208,031.82; Union, $229,
705.89; Wake, $247,742.40 and Wayne,
$289406.12..
Sums amounting to over $100,000
have gone also to farmers in Dup
lin, Franklin, Gaston, Granville,
Halifax, Hoke, Iredell, Lenoir, Lin
coln, Martin, Mecklenburg, North
ampton, Rockingham, Rowan, Ruth
erford, Scotland, Stokes, Surry,'
Waren and Yadkin counties.
Payments made in other counties
have amounted to less than $100,000
per county so far.
Dean Schaub stated that payments
would be continued until all appli
cations had been acted upon. He
said $12446,800 would come into the
Stat* as a result of its participation
in the soil conservation work for the
past year and as a result, many far
mers who did not co-operate in the
movement last year were planning
to join this year. I
The payments being distributed at
' this time have aided the co-operating
i farmers in buying their fertilisers
' for cash, in paying 1936 taxes and in
1 preparing for their farm work this
season. Merchants also have felt
? the effects of the payments, the dean
* said.

Griffin Estimates State
To Pay $21,350,000 For ?
This Year 4
' 01
Raleigh, April 21.?The State ofjw
North Carolina will have spent ap- | IU
proximately $21,350,000 at the end ^
of this term to support the public c
schools of the State during 1936-37,
figures released Wednesday by Iioyd U]
Griffin, secretary of the State School 0j
Commission, revealed. di
A' number of the schools, he said,
already had closed for this year, and w
by May 6, he estimated, fully 50 per ct
cent of them would have closed. w
Mr. Griffin's figures showed that fE
expenditures from all sources for j;
the schools this year would be ap- ^
proximately SI,000,000 more than ^
they were last year. g
Last year, Mr. Griffin said, the
State spent a total of $20*155,000 to a,
support the eight-months school- q
term. Local expenditures for all y
purposes brought the total to $30,- g
264,000. - p
The School Commission secretary jp
estimated that local contributions to a
the schools this year would be w
slightly less than they were last p
year. Despite an increased number a
of school units levying special taxes ^
to supplement school funds, Mr. a
Griffin said that during the 1935-36 a
term there was considerable con- g
struction of new buildings.
"Although some new buildings t
have bee? built this year," he said, ^
"I don't think it is as much as there r
was last year." v
. A five per cent increase in the p
salaries of teachers accounted for j(
the greater part of the increased 0
State funds. Mr. Griffin estimated ^
the teachers would be paid a total ^
n.4 ti7 dflftddft Hurinor 1936-37 as con- ?
pared with the $16,600,000 they re- 8
ceived during 1935-86.
During the current term they r
were given a five per cent increase c
over what they received in 1934-35. Q
Mr. Griffin's estimate tor the ^
maintenance of the State's school o
bus transportation system was $1,- g
830,000 as contrasted with the $1,
903,000 spent by the State for this
purpose last year. c
For general control?salaries and c
expenses of superintendents?he es- ?
timated the State would spend $600,- ?
000. This compared with the $582,
000 spent last year. 1 s
Plant operation, be said, would
cost approximately $1,035,000, and j.
that figure compared with $1,041,- {
000 spent last year. ^
To Observe Annivers- \
ary Pastor's Ministry 1
Six years ago, May 2, the Rev. C. i
6. Mashbum was called to the pas
torate of the local Christian church. 1
During this ministry there has been 1
a healthy growth in all departments
of the church. The audiences are 1
steadily growing, the Sunday School 1
is very active and well attended, go- (
ing beyond the 200 marie last Sunday. ^
The Woman's Council is the most
active organization in the church, and 1
the two Christian Endeavor Societies 1
are functioning well.
During Mr. Mashburn's ministry '
the debt on the church.has been paid,
some needed repairs made and a bud- 1
get adopted that looks not only for 1
finance, but for folks.
"The pastor has tried to serve to '
the best of his ability not only his ;
flock but the entire community. He
has enjoyed his work ere, loves his 1
people dearly and believes he has
the best curch in the county.
He plans to preach on his sixth
anniversary a sermon on the "Ad
vantages of a Long Pastorate," or
"Disadvantage, Which?" He would
be pleased to see the entire member
ship present that day, and especially
all who have com^ into the church
during his ministry and all who have
sought his services at the marriage
altar. He will have a special section
for these couples.
If not misinformed this is the long
est pastorate the church has had in
more that a quarter of a century.
Let us do honor to the- occasion,

"or Hed^~liT House
Divide Evenly On First
Vote Involving Earn*
my Issue
?
Washington, April 21.?The eight
embers of this North CsedIBmi
legation who are in Waahingtdj|
?day divided evenly in the vote
1 the Vinson stream pollution bttfc
hich gave the first test?although
)t a strictly accurate one?of the
:onomy wave now rtmning through
ongress.
The President already has backed
p his budget message, of economy
yesterday with slashes in various
rections. ?>;
These slashes, which .particularly
ill effect measures backed by agri
tltural and educational interest^
ill raise questions of much more
nmediate interest to North Caxo
niana and involve considerably
irger sums of money than the
?ream pollution bill before the
[ouse today.
President Roosevelt, in his mee
ige yesterday, strongly urged thai
ongress not pass any authorixa
on not approved by the Budget
ureau as well as keep the appro
nations within budget limits. The
resident, is it reported reliably,
[ready has served notice that fas
ould veto the Harrison-BLack
letcher bill, strongly supported by
ihool authorities in North Caro
ls and most of the other states,
nd other similar measures even
bould they be. passed by Con
Teas. - ?
The bill which the House passed
xiay came within the category of
ills which the Budget Bureau has
efused to approve. The measure,
rhich had the approval of isbt
Jnited States Public Health Sert
:e and similar departments in each
f the 48 states, limited the au
horized appropriation to one
ion dollars for next year, but larger
.ppropriations could be made in
ucceeding years.
The test vote came on an amend
ment by Rep. Cochran, D., Missouri,
Lair man of the House Committee
n expenditures in the executive
lepartments, who sought to strike
ut the authorization entirely and
ubstitute a survey for which funds
tlready are available.
