The ceremony was performed by

Refers to Reynolds'
Statement on .Visit of
Royalty.
London, March 7. ? Prime Minis
ter Chamberlain's Btar will rise or
fall on the success or failure of royal
visit to the United States this spring,
the Daily Express declared today in
a long article headed "Do These
United States' Attacks on the Royal
Visit Matter."
The newspaper said U. S. Ambas
sador Joseph Kennedy "more than any
other man" was responsible for the
invitation to King George, VI, and
Queen Elizabeth and that Kennedy
was convinced it would be a success
despite the "savage ^ onslaught" at
tributed by the paper to Senator
Reynolds (D.-N.C.)
Ambassador Kennedy was not im
mediately available for comment.
(Senator Reynolds discussed the
British royalty's visit in a Senate
Foreign Affairs debate January 16.)
"American who oppose the visit
say we are sending our king and
queen to call on them cap in hand,
that the^phole affair is a begging
expedition, and an attempt, to pull
the Americans into Europe," the
Daily Express said.

Smuggling Of
Aliens Heard
Committee Told Mil
lions" Smuggled In An
nually.
Washington, March 7.?The House
Rules committee heard testimony to
day that "well organized" groups
were smuggling 'millions' of aliens
into the United States annually.
Chairman Dickstein (D.-N. Y.) of
the House Immigration Committee
made the statement in asking legis
lative right-of-way for a measure to
empower his committee to ask a
thorough study of the subject, aim
ed at revision of the immigration and
naturalization laws,
Dickstein said practices of certain
steamship companies and captains in
over-manning their ships would be
given particular attention.
Representative Schultz, D.-Ind.) a
member of Dickstein's committee,
testified that "a ere at many cantains
are ljging paid $25 to $50 a head" for
?every alien they bring in illegally.
While the House Rules committee
was discussing the Immigration legis
lation, three members of the House
Judiciary committee said the latter
group was ready to vote N "almost
unanimously" to exonerate Secretary
Perkins of impeachment charges in
volving the Labor Department's en
forcement of the immigration laws.
At a congressional executive mo
nopoly committee hearing Professor
Frank A. Fetter of Princeton univer
sity said that if the committee did not
solve the economic problem of "bas
ing point" prices it would "largely
have failed" in its objective. ?
Other Developments.
A bill designed to provide reim
hprsements for states and counties
for taxable values lost through gov
ernment acquisition of lands was in

the administration's reorganization

sages; Avoids Econo
my Issue.
| Washington, March 7. ? President
Roosevelt today said that his new
business appeasement policy is pro
grossing nicely, and brushed aside as
unimportant the possibility that the
administration may ask Congress to
increase the public debt limit to $50,
000,000,000.
| He also told his press conference
that published dispatches to the ef
fect that he will renew his demand
that Congress appropriate an addi
tional $160,000,000 to finance relief
until July 1 were cock-eyed. Con
gress, in a burst of economy, snipped
$150,000,000 from the relief bill and
invited the President to ask for more
if an emergency arose.
Within a week after the measure
had left the capital, the Chief Ex
ecutive demanded an additional $150,
000,000. His action infuriated con
servative Democratic economy lead
ers of both Houses and they said
bluntly that his wishes would not
be granted unless he justified the
emergency, and only then after care
ful consideration had been given his
plea.
Today, in the face of this histility,
Mr. Roosevelt said he would confer
tomorrow with Works Progress Ad
ministrator F. C. Harrington about
the present status of relief funds and
that probably next Monday he
would send a message to Congress
outlining the current situation. The
amount of money he will request, he
said, will be determined by the re
port he gets from Harrington. It
- ?? ? ? iN _ j ?j
may be nothing, he saia, ana it may
be $150,000,000.
He touched only briefly on taxes.
Asked what his attitude was toward
agitation by business for complete
repeal of the undivided profits tax,
in view of his appeasement policy, he
said he must withhold a reply until
he can determine how much revenue
has been derived from this levy. It
|was cut from a maximum of 27 1-2
per cent to 2 1-2 per cent in a tax re
volt in the 75th Congress.
The President said that before de
parting for the fleet maneuvers in
the Caribbean, he was agreeable to
repeal taxes acting as a deterrent to
business expansion and had sought
to give assurance that business has
nothing to fear from the New Deal
in its tax, utility and other policies
affecting private enterprise. The new
policy was elaborated quickly by Sec
retary of Commerce Harry L, Hop
kins and Secretary of the Treasury
Henry Morgentliau, Jr,
It had immediate repercussion in
Congress, where a coalition of south
ern Democrats and Republicans
boomed away with demands that fed
eral spending be curbed and that the
government economize at once. Mr.
Roosevelt declined to be drawn into
a discussion of the economy drive,
explaining that a newspaperman had
told him that the question would be
asked in order that dispatches could
b$ written portraying a feud between
him and Congress over the issue.

Dispute Settled,
Gandhi Ends Fast
Takes Glass of Orange
Juice After 98 - Hours
Fast.
Rajknot, India, March 7. ? Wiz
ened ^9-year-old Manhondas K.
Gandhi this afternoon ended a fast
of 98 hours and 25 minutes to win
political reform. He drank a glass
of sweet orange juice.
The nourishment was the first since
he started the "fast unto death" just
four days ago after drinking a cup
of hot goat's milk.
The British viceroy 9f India, the
Marques of Linlithgow, intervened in
Gandhi's dispute with the ruler of
Rajkot.
Settlement of the dispute?Gand
hi sought more democratic forms of
government ? was regarded as an
other significant victory for the re-'
vered leader of millions of Indians.
Gandhi voluntarily ended the long
fast, which his doctors said was en
dangering his life, immediately after
receiving a letter from the 39-year
old ruler. -
The letter was handed to the as
cetic former "Mahatma" by a chauf
feur sent by E. C. Gibson, British
resident in'the states of Western In
dia
Gandhi opened the letter, smiled
weakly and turning to his attendants,
accepted the glass of orange juice
which he began sipping slowly.
The British viceroy and Gandhi's
secretary had carried on one side of
the negotiations, while Gandhi him
self dealt with Gibson, who was act
ing for the Rajkot ruler.
Harnett Tobacco
Damaged By Rain
County Agent Estimate
Beds Have Been Hurt
Approximately 25 Per
Cent.
Dunn, March 7. ? County. Agent
C. R. Amnions estimated today that
recent rains had damaged tobacco
beds in Harnett County between 20
and 25 per cent.
He said, the estimate was based
on reports coming to his office from
every section of the county. He plans
to make a complete survey within
the next few days.
Most of the damage, he said, has
beer, done to plant beds in the sand
hills section in Western Harnett,
particularly in the region between
Lillington and the Cumberland Coun
ty line.
He said several farmers had re
ported that entire beds had been
washed away by the heavy rains.
Ammons said he feared that there
would be a scarcity of tobacco plants
in some sections although many
farmers planted more seed than us
ual this year in preparation for a
big crop.
He said he had received no com
plaints from cotton farmers, except
that rains had delayed spring plow
ing.

Newspapers throughout the sMe
of Georgia have expressed unqualified
praise for .the Milledgeville College
Choir, unique choral group that wfll
appear here in a concert of the world's
greatest music on March 24 at Per
kins Hall under the auspices of the
Woman's Club.
A few of the many comments made
following last year's successful tour
follow:
The Albany Herald sayB: "Render
ing selections in the noblest choral
tradition, the group, composed of
students of G. S. C. W. and G. M. C.,
exhibited all the refinements of care
ful training in exactness of v pitch,
astute tone production and pleasing
harmonic balance.
"Throughout the program, the
choir sang with self-assurance the
voices blending smoothly in ranges
from tonal delicacy, through faultless
modulation, to elaborate eight-part
harmonic patterns. Their voices
showed vigorous quality but at no
time became strident."
The Augusta Herald says: "The
concert Sunday afternoon by the Mil
ledgeville College A Cappella Choir
directed by May Noah, who heads the
department of music at G. S. C. W.
was a lovely concert from every an
gle. It was surprising to hear, the
volume that the choir could produce
with such young, immature voices.
The singing was well balanced and
done in good ensemble form, with no
discord and in artistic manner.
"It was also noticeable that it did
no "whispered singing." There are
so many choral directors that , never
let the chorus sing in full voice, so
it was an unusual pleasure to hear
these young voices giving us all they
had and in good tune with no dis
cord.
"There was no doubt that the large
audience was also well pleased with
the concert and were really inspired
as they sat in utter silence and listen
ed."
Prom the Louisville {faper we have
the following: "From the opening
?t m TC .? ? 1 ? II ? 1 Vff AV
lines or tsartnoiays "judge me u
God" through to the drawing of the
last curtain the audience was held
spellbound by the Bplendid blending
of voices. The program revealed V
background of diligent work 6n the
part of both students and director."
The Macon Telegraph says: "The
music, some of which was familiar,
seemd more beautiful when sung hi
an A Cappella Choir."
.From the Eatonton paper we have:
"Seldom has Eatonton had'an oppor
tunity to hear such a program sis was
rendered by the A Cappella Choir of
Milledgeville at the Methodist Church
here Sunday afternoon.
