Tax Turmoil
Washington, D. C. President
Roosevelt conferred with Senator
Pat Harrison, Vice President Garner,
and three other Congressional Ad
ministration leaders for two hours
and a half. Problem: to get; the
President's new tax measures
through the Senate as soon as possi
ble. Solution: to tack it on to the
nuiasance tax measure, now pending
in the Senate and already approved
by the House. For every day this
measure was postponed beyond June
30th the government loses $J.500,000
in revenue. When Harrison announ
ced this plan Senators could hardly
believe their ears; : Representatives
rebelled, complaining of an "invasion
of House rights." Next day .(he
country's editorial pages, both Old
and New Deal, openly criticised the
President Suddenly the White
House bugled retreat. Where had
people gotten the impression that the
new taxes would go through by the
week-end? He had never implied
anything of the kind! Gradually (he
Senate regained its good humor.
They voted to extend the nuisance
taxes and the President signed the
bill at once. This left the soak-the-rich
program standing on its own
feet and ,Congress with a long
summer of work. ,
Mussolini Defies League
Rome, Italy The future of the
League, of Nations is a matter dear
to the heart of Great Britain. The
future of Abyssinia is even dearer to
i that of Mussolini. . England sent its
roving Amabassador, Anthony Eden,
to Rome in a futile attempt to avert
the inevitable. His talk with II Duce
proved an utter failure. Mussolini
announced flatlv that he intended to
establish a protectorate over Abysr
' sinia's 350,000 square miles. He also
threatened to emit the League if
Geneva objected. An Italian walk
out, following those of Japan and
Germany, would destroy vfhat little
remains of the League prestige.
Eden found himself in a ticklish spot.
Mussolini's suggestion that Geneva
hand Abyssinia over to Italy as a
mandate for its failure to abolish
slavery proved worthless. For, as
Abvssinian EmDeror Haile Selassie
has pointed out, five thousand years lronlng
that' the girls' torn at the labor
camps would com , enext year. Re
jected suitors smiled. The girls (have
one possible means of escape marriage.
Virus Isolated At Last
Princeton, N. J. Viruses have long
presented microbe hunters one of
their most elusive problems. Invisi
ble to the most powerful microscope,
these death dealing bodies slip
through the finest porcelain filters.
They had never been isolated until
Wendell Meredith Stanley published
a report that shocked the medical
world. After innumerable ammorium
sulphate purifications of juice from
tobacco leaves diseased with "tobacco
mosaic," he detected the formation of
jtiny needle-like crystals. Though
Stanley cautiously ' called it a cry
stalline protein," all indications point
to the final isolation of the long
sought disease-causers perhaps the
most primitive form of animal life.
England For Peace And The League
London, England Since last fall,
11,627,766 voters of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland have filled out
a peace ballot circulated by. the Lea
gue of Nations Union. Viscount
Cecil, the Union's president, points
with pride to the fact that answers
to his five questions show that
Britons stand overwhelmingly for
peace and international cooperation
"Should Britain remain a member of
the League?" 11,090,387 said yes;
855,863 no. 10,470,489 voted for reduc
tion of armaments by international
agreement, and 10,417,329 for the
abolition of private profits in arms.
The government opposed the referen
dum bitterly (one M. P. spoke of it
as "so much waste' paper"), but with
a general election coming on,- Lord
Cecil felt confient that the govern
ment would not dare consign it to
the wase basket.
PROJECTING PROSPERITY
I am for this group of leaders, and I
have sufficient confidence in Mr. Sch
wietert's practicability to believe he
would not endorse the movement if he
did not feel that it has a chance to
succeed in improving conditions on
the farm, in industry and in the field
of transportation.
WASHING CROCHETED THINGS
Lay crocheted bedspread flat on a
clean sheet to dry. Ease and stretch
gently to shape, straightening the
wet fringe out as much as possible
When thoroughly dry, go through the
fringe with a fairly coarse-toothed
comb to untangle remaining snarls.
'Trace the outline of a crocheted
doilie on muslin before you wash it.
Squeeze through hike-warm suds
made with mild soap. Stretch and
pin securely with rust-proof pins to
outline on muslin. When dry, the
doilie will be straight and require nc
of slavery cannot end overnight,
though tithe Abyssinian Government
is doing all it can. The British en
voy came to a gloomy conviction:
Mussolini awaits only',, the end of
Abyssinia's rainy season in late Sep
tember to grab the dusky kingdom.
In the meantime the number of Ital
ian troops in Africa passed 100.000.
Pioneers Peeved .
Matanusker Valley,. Alaska "Oh,
the North countree is a wild" countree
and she mothers a bloody brood . . ."
Down-and-out Midweste V farmers
who trekked to Alaska as pioneers
under the aegis of the New Deal,
have begun to find pioneering, even
with the FERA to helj no beer and
skittles. Their squawks reached
Washington and reverberated in the
Senate. They complained of inade
quate protection against. t3ie coming
Alaskian winter, insufficient supplies
and medical attendance, bad sanita
tion and old seeds. Relief Adminis
trator Hopkins minimized the
charges, explained that FERA was
rushing men and materials to pro
vide houses before winter.
Hitler Hoax
Nice, France Americans read of
Nice citizens mobbing a mysterious
promnenader whose picture the news
papers captioned "Hitler's Double."
An Acme photographer had persuad
ed Albert Pitois, sportswriter, to
comb his hair over his forehead and

Colombian Cash Kills Celebrities
Medellian, Colombia, S. A. South
American Indians name countless
brown babies for Carlos Gardel, the
matinee idol who popularized the
tango. Aviation enthusiasts worship
Emeste Semper as the Lindbergh of
Colombia. At Clava Herrera Air
port, two airliners collided in taking
off. Semper piloted one with Gardel
as a passenger. Four survived the
crash but fifteen others were burned
death among them " Colombian
heroes, Gardel and Semper. . , .
NRA Chief Again In Public Life
New York City When General
Hugh S. Jdhnson resigned as dicta
tor of the NRA last October, he was
$30,000 or more poorer than when
he had become the - blue bird's guar
dian. Magazine articles - and news
paper columns helped . him recoup.
One day his v column characterized
the new work relief . program : as
"four billion dollars 1 worth of boon
doggling," while front page bulletins
of the same papers proclaimed him
Works Progress Administrator tot
New York City. He will draw no
pay, but will be allowed $25 ( daily
for expenses. . To reporters he '.was
uncommunicative: "I'm not going to
but into this thing until I know what
I'm doing, and righ now I don't know
nothing."

Agricultural and Industrial Agent
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co.
H. J. Schwietert, of Chicago, Vice
President, American Railroad Devel
opment Association, reports his at
tendance at a recent conference of
200 men and women interested in
agriculture, industrial and science,
who met to collaborate for the pur
pose of developing new industrial
markets for farm products. It was
the concensus of opinion of those pre
sent that if prosperity returns to this
country (and of course it will) it
must come by agriculture expansion.
It was stated that unless agriculture
is prosperous transportation, industry
and commerce cannot become pros
perous.
The conference appointed a com
mittee of fifteen charged with the
responsibility and authority to per
fect an organization of a National
Council of Representative of Agri
culture, Industry and Science. The
commendable hope was entertained
that the activities growing out of
this gathering would:
1 Result in the gradual absorp
tion of much of the domestic farm
surplus by domestic industry.
2 -Put idle acres to work profitr
ably.
3 Increase the purchasing power of
the American farmer on a stable and
more permanent basis and thereby.
4 Increase the demand for manu
factured products, thus.
5 Creating new work for idle
hands to do, reviving American in
dustry: restoring American labor to
I productive enterprise; and relieving
the economic distress of the Nation.
This is an ambitious program and
one that is worthy of support, but
little can be done to advance the
work of rehabilitation of farming and
business until those chafgqd with the
responsibility and authority outline a
cooperative plan of work for both ag
riculture and industry so that the
work may be gotten underway in an
orderly manner. While American
farming and business is no longer in
the depths but is on the upgrade, it
is going to require time, thought of
a high order and plenty of work to
coordinate apricultural and industrial
plans so that they can be made to
progress in a harmonious manner anc
not in a faltering manner, nor in
such manner as will give one a decid
ed advantage over the other.
I will await with interest practical
suggestions for the absorption of the
domestic farm surplus by domestic
industry, the putting of idle acres to
work profitably without further in
creasing surpluses, et caetera. But

Issues Report On
Soil Adaptations
The N. C. Agricultural Experi

port on North Carolina soils and their
relation to the 28 principal crops
grown in the State-
The report is designed to aid farm
ers in the selection of soils best suit
ed to the production of different
crops, and also in the selection of
crops best suited to their farms.
The authors, C. B. Williams, head
of the agronomy department, and
J. F. Lutz, assistant professor of
soils, show the adaptability of vari
ous soils to the crops when fertilized
according to recommendations of the
agronomists.

Cotton Payments '
Over $2,000,000
More than $2,000,000 has been dis
tributed to' North Carolina cotton
growers in the first rental payment
of the 1935 cotton adjustment program.
At the close of last week, checks
had been mailed out to approximate
ly 45,000 contract signers, with
65,000 signers yet to be paid, report
ed J. F. Criswell, of State College.
He also pointed out that later in the
year the second payment will be dis

payment will be larger than the first
while in others it will be smaller.
iCriswell also announced that all
1934-35 cotton adjustment contracts
have been cleared to Washington
from the state oilice, except a few
held up on technicalities.
The new contracts signed this
year are now being approved by the

all will be sent to Washington by the
end of this week.
Rental payment checks to new con
tract signers will be mailed from
Washington as soon as the contracts
are approved and accepted there.
