Respectfully WILLIAM L. ERWIN. OPPOSES BILL Athens, Ceorgia May 26, 1933. Editor Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta, Georgia. Dear Sir: I have read with interest ydur editorial criticising the remarks of Miss Perkins concernng the al leged unshod condition of south ern people. If you will examine carefully the proposed legislation which Miss Ferkins was discuss ing when she made the remarks in question, I believe that you will find that it carries a threat to southern industry, and to such rights as the states still retain to regulate their own local affairs, that is far more serious than the mere annoyance caused by such comments as those of Miss Per kins. The proposed legislation is em bodied in H. R. 5664, which is commonly referred to as the Pub lic Works—lndustrial Control Bill. It is now before congress, and newspaper reports indicate that the bill will pass. Without attempting here any ex haustive discussion of the bill, 1 BANK BANDIT SLAIY FIVE ARE CAPTURED Practically All of $16,000 Loot From Culver Bank Is Recovered CULVER, Ind. —(AP) — One dead and five captured Tuesday constituted northern Indiana's accounts with a sextet of gunmen hlleged to “have robbed the State Exchange bank here Monday . The dead bandit said by officers to have been employed formerly as a chauffeur for the wife of Joe Saltis, Chicago beer baron, was T. C. Tecke, alias Joohn J. Enea, of South Chicago, TIl. * His companions in jail at Ply mouth and South Bend facing possible charges of kidnaping and bank robbery, gave names of Jack Gray, 23, of New York; Eddie Murphy, 33, New York: Joe Cohen, 20, Chicago; John Gorman, 27, Detroit; and James Davis, 2u Tampa, Fla., Cohen insisted he had no part in the robbery. He said he was a hitch-hiker picked up by the bandits and forced to accompany them. Teske was shot in the head by Oliver Schilling, son of Schuyler Schilling, president of the bank, as he sat at the wheel of the bandit automobile, holding two employes on the running boards as shields against officers’ bul fets; the other gunmen quickly manned the car and sped out of town. The bank employes soon were released, and, with a posse in hot pursuit. the fleeing automobile overturned a few miles from Cul ver. The robbers ran into a woods and surrendered in face of rifle fire and tear gas used by the posse. AN but a small part of the $16,- 000 loot was recovered, THE BANNER-HERAILD |tarily for business stabilization. Lund supports the principle of the bill. At the same time, however, lumber manufacturers announced through the National Lumber as lsu'iution that. '“‘a code . of; falr i competition and administrative |nrganization" had been drafted lfor submission to the president !under the bill. Wilson Compton, manager of the acsociation, said the code was drawn in accordance wish resolu tions adopted at an emergency conference in Chicago last week, and provided for eliminating un fair practices, reducting unem l _ployment, revising wages and protecting small enterprise. will mention briefly some of its provsions as they impress me. It is amazing to me that the in dustrial control feature of this bill, which .if enacted rand upheld ‘as valid, will destroy in a large measure what remains of state’s rights, and will subject to federal bureaucratic regulation the man agement of all trades and indus tries, has attracted so little atten tion and apparently has created so little concern. Section 1 of the bill declares that a national emergency exists, pro ductive of widespread unemploy ment and disorganization of indus try which burdens interstate commerce,” affects the public wel fare, and undermines the standards of living of the American people; @and further declares a congression al policy “to remove obstructions to the free flow of interstate eom merce which tend to diminish the amount thereof; and to promote the organization of industry for the purpose of cooperative action among trade groups, to induce and maitain united action of labor and management under adequate gov ernmental sanctions and supervis ion, to eliminate unfir competitive practices t oreduce and relieve un employment, to improve standards of labor, and otherwise to rehabil - jate industry and to conserve nat ural resources.” 4 - The above quoted references te inetrstate commerce were evident ly designed to justify the legislation as being an exercise of the consti tutional power of congress to reg ulate interstate commerce.

WASHINGTON.— (AP) —Fer dinand Pecora will resume ques tioning of J. P. Morgan and his partners Wednesday, with a ma jority of the senate invetsigating committee determined to back him ac far as he wants to go. Preparing for continuance of the investigation into Morgan's world famous private bank, the senators’seught Tuesday to setile the objections of Senator Glass (D., Va.) to the way the revealing inquiry has been conducted by the counsel and chief questioner, Pecora. Glass has charged employment of circus methods. He says he has no desire to stop the investigation but wants to Lknow where it is heading. Pecora. himself . was heading back from ~ New Yeork ‘Tuesday, after announcing he would not let attacks which have been made on his character divert him from . the investigation. I Scan Statement It developed meanwhile that the Internal Revenue Bureau is scan ning closely the testmiony given on income tax statements filed by the twenty Morgan partners. The long-hidden partnership agreement of the firm, now in the hands of the committee, was being examin ed on the possibility that it might have an important bearing on the tax situation. : Morgan officials testified last week that they paid a total of $48,000 income taxes since 1929. All was paid in 1930, and none in the two following years when their returns showed all taxable income cancelled by losses.deductible un der the law. Pecora is expected to start the inquiry off Wednesday by present ing another of the “favored client” lists which have caused much- reverberations in Washing-~ ton. Several more such lists, of prom inent folk invited to ,buy stock ‘from the Morgan firm at bargain prices, are in the counsel's hands. ne rumor was that another sen ator would be found on one of the lists but most of the names com mittee members say are duplicates of those already published.

Long Tuesday was sued for $250,000 damages by Mrs. Anne TEctor Pleasant, wife of former Governor Ruffin G. Pleasant, who alleged that Senator Long had doh.med her character and had her ejected from the state house during the 1932 session of the legislature, The suit was entered in East Baton Rouge district court. Describing herself as a “law abiding ecitizen” who “deported herself as a woman of respecta bility, character and honor,” Mrs. Pleasant charged in her sulit that Senator Long called her a “drunk en, cursing woman,” in the office of Miss 'Alice lfee Grosjean, state supervisor of public accounts, and that at his orders she was arres ted and put out of the state ‘house. The suit said the damages were asked because of the “rihsequent hurt” to Mrs. Pleasant's feelings, and her “humiliation and mortifi cation.,” MEMORIAL DAY — BUT LOOK ALSO TO THE FUTURE /'_{v Ssgt ~. sey e | MG . : RT F e s D f. e 'fim SR %‘é?fil\\?‘ 2 .

Tal madge-Key Debate Athens' first beer arrest, since 3.2 was legalized hy the federal government, was made last night when Captain C. E. Craft and Policeman Herman Stein arrested a man giving his name as G. W. Carry as he delivered ten cases of brew to the Elks club. Chief of Police C. E. Seagraves said that the man arrested here last night will be turned over to the grand jury of Clarke county. The police have not been given orders to arrest persons for selling beer in Athens, Chief Seagraves said, but Policemen Craft and Stein happened to see the man delivering the beer to the ciub and made a case against him, also confiscating the beer. The KElks club recently took out a license with- the government to sell beer, according to a news dispatch. While it is reported beer can be obtained in more than one place in Athems, no effort has been made to stop the sale, particular ly until city council acts on peti tions asking it to give its approval officially to the sale by fixing a city license tax. These petitions will be presented to council next Friday night, it is said. Beer is being sold in many Georgia towns and cities. In some places council has fixed a license tax. In other towns, however, the ‘policy of non-interference has been followed by the city author ities but no attempt has been made to fix a license tax, the au thorities helding the view that it is better to permit the sale of the brew—inasmuch as it is going to bersold by someone—by respecta ble business concerns without po lice interference, thap to attempt (Continued on Page Three) qlof the World war and Spanish- American war dead during the ex ercises, and an invocation by Miss Moina Michael, originator of :lPoppy day idea, and an address by lDr. Andrew M.

FARM PRIGE RISE ¢ 5 FASTEST 3IACE WORLD WAR'S END American Cotton Manu facturers Association to Co-operate in Fight ta Raise Price of Staple ADAMS PREDICTS 15 CENTS COTTON BY 34 Federal Reserve Business Review Shows Upswing In this District BY ROY F. HENDRICKSON Associated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON —(AP)— Farm prices are going up in the fastest rise since the spring after the World War's end. o A steady climb has been under way since April 15, and up to Monday the bureau of agricultural economics reported it still under way. The last upswing to com pare was in April, 1919, after the government relaxed war-time mill ing regulations. Leading the way in the trek to~ ward levels of prosperous days have been the farm draft animals, horses and mules. From April 15 to mid-May, the bureau said, the average. farm price for horses went from $67 to s7l, while mules mounted from $73 to $77. o Wool, however, scored the sharp~ est rige of any commodity, increas< ing 75 per cent from April I¥s average farm price of 10.1 cents a ,pound to 17.7 cents a month later. ~ Farm prices, despite the increase are still below the pre-war level. Using 100 to represent pre-war prices, the May 15 index fl‘ungt for the same group of commodities was 62, a gain of 9 points since April 16, and a gain of 12 points since March 15.
