A few minutes before with shouts of "No" a majority defeated an amendment to cut the $1,500,000,000 bill to $1,000,000,000. The proposal was made by Senator Bridgers (K. NH.) Efforts yesterday to require speci fied contributions from communities for relief projects likewise was de feated. , The vote on the Bridgers amend ment came after .Senator Vanden berg (R.-Mich.) told the Senate that ?indefinitely continued deficits pile up the raw materials of a suicidal inflation. _ , k. He offered as a substitute for tfle administration's $1,500,000,000 relief bill a measure to provide $1,250,000, 000 in grants to the state. He was "under no illusion, he said, "as to the fate of his plan but declared it was based on a philoso phy which some day must be em braced if the credit of the govern ment is not destroyed. Senator Connally (D-Texas) un dertook the administration reply to Vandenberg, saying that the ^pub lican proposal would "abolish the federal system that is supposed to have learned something" and "begin all over again" with a new system. The Senae then voted down an amendment to set adise $20,000,000 of the $1,500,000,000 for a census of the unemployed. .

Wtaian Struck 1 Down By Fever Ran In State Tom Moore, Bitten By Tick, is 111 with Strange Rocky Mountain Fever Wilson, June 22.?A tiny wood tttk, no larger than the end of a man's Urtle finger, has had the medical fraternity of this section excited for the past few weeks and today their ? fears about the tick were confirmed by the U. S. Public Health Service at Washington. Around ten days ago, Tom Moore, prominent local tobaconi* was taken ill with a -strange kind of fever. A story he told doctors here about a tick that had bitten him on a fishing trip two weeks ago started the doctors to thinking and the lll nesa of Moore was tentatively diag nosed as the little known Rocky Mountain fever. . Though doctors at the local hos pital were almost certain that Moore vras sufferiing from ths malady, strange to this section of the country, they thought it beat to prove their theory and so sent blood to the Fed eral agency in Washington for tests. The testa were confirmed today. Moore wnav reported as "doing nicely." Rocky Mountain fever, discovered some years ago by scientists in a se cluded spot in Montana where ticks carrying it were killing cattle right and left, has reportedly never ap peared n 'North Carolina before last ? this county near Elm City. It is an obecure disease and so far sckpce has not been able to find a cure for it. The patient, apparently, just has to fight the malady off him *Dr. W. H.

TOWNSEND MOVEMENT. GROUP POWER FADING. BRITISH FACE PROBLEMS. TRADE PACT DELAYED. CONTROL OF WAGES. A GOVERNMENT JOB? (Special Washington Corre-' spondent) The Townsend movement which worried the political leaders of both parties last year ia now shaken with internal dissension. While the Cali fornia physician continues to advo cate his pension idea, his adversaries claim that he has used the movement for partisan politics and recently twelve department heads in Chicago quit in a body. The cause of the dis turbance was Dr. Townsend's opposi tion to the Court reform plan which some contended was a matter out side the sphere of the organization which should be concerned with pen sions only. Dr. Townsend made no secret of his opposition to the Roosevelt Ad ministration last year, dividing his support between William Lemke and Governor Landon in states where Mr. Lemke's name was not on the ballot. The Roosevelt victory was a blow, followed by his indictment for con tempt and by a subsequent House Committee report that the enire plan was unsound, inflationary and econ omically chaotic. Present member ship of the organization is uncertain,; with spokesmen claiming five million or more, but some of the resigning group say it is about 3,500,000. Its greatest strength is in the agrarian West, particularly in the Dakotas, and with important strength in Wis consin, Minnesota and California. Apparently, the matter of im proved trade relations between the United States and the British Empire; will be delayed until the Dominion ; statesmen get home from the London Conference for consultation with their leaders. The efforts of the British to bind the great democracies of the 1 world together' through strong eco nomic community of interests de- J depends for its success upon some, concessions by the dominions, parti cularly in the matter of food ship ments to the British Isles. The general opinion is that they declined to make any great material sacrifices. They remember the hard bargaining in the Ottawa Conference ? of. 1932 and their efforts to secure < limited quotas for their exports which had to share British markets with J Scandinavian, South American artd other counties having special finan- i ciaj or trade arrangements with Great 1 Britain. Morever, all of them had 1 grievances against the United States because this country has closed its J markets to much of their trade. * ? < The main fight on the proposed i Federal Wage-and-Hours Act will I probably center upon the first part i of Section 5, covering wages, al- J though there will be considerable op- s position to the second section, gov- I erning hours. Of course, those who I appear before the congressional com- I mittees will base some arguments on j historical of economic grounds, bring ing in states' rights and the threat ; of a Federal price-fixing law through s rising prices. The idea has been ad- ] vanced that large industrial states, < under recent Supreme Court decisions, | can bar imports produced in violation ] of their own established working < standards but this carries with it the 1 threat of upsetting the national econ- i omy. 1 ?. i Advocates of the measure, includ- < ing Benjamin V. Cohen and Thomas G. Corcoran, who wrote the bill, say ' that wages and hours will be fixed < in this country by either capital, < labor, or the Government, and they i believe that of these three powers, i the Federal Government should do < the job. Capital, through codes, and labor, through collective bargaining and strikes, might effectively regu- ? late wages and hours but few believe 1 that the regulation will be as equita- i ble and as fair to the general na- i tional order and economy as if the ' Government fixed them through legis lation. One of the disturbing features of ( the early hearings on the Black-Con nery bill is the activity of the protec tionists, who have seized upon its provisions to start a drive for fur ther tariff protection. The argu ment is that the measure will increase the cost of doing business and there fore the Labor Standards Board should have the power to boost tariff rates and even embargo foreign prod ucts. Thus Consumers may expect not only to pay increased prices, due to labor advances, but the added burden of higher tariffs. This would undoubtedly impair the (Continued on page two) ?? *.... ? Witeen fanners UrgeAAA Plans Group At Mass Meeting Urge Cooley To Aban don Substitute Pro posal Wilson, June 28.?Tobacco farm ers in mass meeting here tonight wired Congressman Harold D. Cooley of Nashville, in the name of the State Farm Bureau, that though they wished to thank him for his efforts in their behalf in the past, they wished to remind him that they did not see eye to eye with him in his new tobacco proposal' for a separate tobacco bill. They urged him strongly trt support the ' pro posed AAA bill of 1987. The meeeting here was the climax of a series of meetings held in this section to discuss the AAA of 1937. Urging the farmers of the County to organize and get behind the new AAA proposal, E. F. Arnold of Greenville, State secretary of the Farm Bureau, revealed that in the last 10 days six counties in Eastern Carolina had unanimously endorsed the AAA of 1937. The counties were Nash, Edgecombe, Wilson, Johnston, Harnett and I/ee. Arnold also declared that the farmers of Johnston County last night had wired Congressman Cooley to the effect "32 of us endorsed the AAA of 1937 tonight. One did not, Which group are you in 7" W. 0. Parr of Paducah, Ky? dis trict farm bureau organizer, told the gathering tonight that "we got the Triple A through the organiza tion of agriculture" and urged the farmers to organize and back the newly-proposed Triple A "It would be a fine thing," he pointed out, "if North Carolina could go it alone up there in Congress and say 'we want this passed for us.' It would be fine if you could do it But you can't. We have- to act, think, work and pull together, the farmer of the west with the farmers of the South must fight to put this thing across." 1 John D. Gold, editor of the Wilson Times; State Senator J. C. Eagles of Wilson, and J. H. Lane of Stantons burg, State director of the Farm Bureau, also spoke.
