WASHI:\'GTUN — The treasury
continues to be conservative, in
spite of everything.
gecretary ~ Henry Morgenthau
was asked what he considered the
outstanding thing in his annual
report.
apm told it's the dullest report
ever written in' the treasury,” he
replied. “But it isn't my fault. I
pad something in there to bright
en it up and the fellows around
here insisted on taking it out.”
of course, he was asked what
had been deleted.
«well” said Morgenthau, “I said
{hat if business didn’t get any
worse next year, it might get bet
ter. But they thought that state
ment was too reckless.”
genator-elect Joe Guffey and
genator Jim Davis of Pennsylvania
each of whom has had the dis
tinction of being indicted, walked
down the ‘Senate aisle arm in arm
tor Joe's swearing in. Their ap
parent attitude of friendship con
cealed a tale of guile and double
€ross.
« want you to be on hand to
escort me down the aisle,” Joe had
tlephoned Jim, who said he
would.
“Tell you what I'll wear so we
can wear the same things,” con
tinned Joe. “I'll wear g morning
coat and striped pants, but no
spats.”
“Okay,” said Jim, “no spats.”
Joe Guffey was the one who
wore the spats.
Quite a few veterans of the pre-
New Deal era remembered “Pene
sion Bill” Ashbrook of Ohio, who
entered the House in 1906, served
14 years, and was recently re
elected to his old seat after 14
years away from here.
Bill Ashbrook liked to be called
“Pension Bill,” because he had in
troduced more pension bills than
anybody else, although that wasn't
much help to him in the 1920
Harding landslide.
What astonished his old friends
as he walked into the House on
opening day, however, was the fact
that “Pension Bill” was very far
from being alone,
He was 54 years old when he
left the House and quite child
less. But now, trailing along be
hind him, were five of his own
boys and girls, ranging from 2 to
9 years. They all sat in the back
Tow,
“Pension Bill” wasn’t the . only
one to bring in the children, but
it was about that time folks out
sidle heard Head Dcorkeeper Joe
Sinnott loudly ordering: “No more

JWIFT PASaAGE OF
ROOSEVELT BUDGET
FREELY PREDIGIED
WASHINGTON—(AP)— As con
gress went to work today on the
$8,5620,000,000 budget President
Roosevelt has submitted, democrat
ic leaders predicted his $4,000,000,-
000 plan to swing from the dole to
jobs would go through swiftly de
spite stirring of criticism in two
gectors.
There was still some talk today,
among some democratg as well as
republicans, that congress should
choose the specific projects on
which the money will be sp@nt in
stead of giving it to the president
in a lump sum to allot as he sees
fit.
There also were expressions of
belief from western progressives
that $4,000,000,000 wil] not be
enough and that “wages prevailing
in industry” should be paid to re
lief workerg instead of the presi
dent’s plan to pay less.
Express Approval.
But many democrats expressed
approval of the plan and with that
party’s majorities so huge, even
the bitterest opponents of the lump
sum idea agreed privately that it
would go through without major
change. {
Some routine tasks delayed until
Thursday the initial consideration
in the house of the thing President
Roosevelt wants first. This ig the
$880,000,000 for immediate relief
during the dole-to-job transition.
Leaders were seeking to get the
relief and works proposals out of
the way “before the pressure
starts.” Already some legislators
are receiving protests abocut the
plan to return 1,500,000 “unemploy
ables” to the care of the states.

Hauptmann Trial Is
Likely to Run “Three

FLEMINGTON, N, J. — (® —
The Hauptmann trial probably will
run three to four weeks longer.
“I understand the prosecution will

ney Edward J. Reilly, said today.
“In that event we can go through
our fifty witnesses in about one

MACON HOST TO
ANTI-REPEALISTS
Caines Declares Referen
dum Vote Should Be on
County Unit Basis
MACON, Ga.—(#)—The county
unit plan of voting should be fol
lowed in any referendum on pro
hibhition in Georgia, W. W. Gaines,
of Atlanta chairman of the Consol
idated Prohibition forces in Geor
gia, said in a speech prepared for
delivery today before a rallg of
prohibition leaders.
Mr. Gaines said the county unit
plan was adopted to protect the
state from the domination of her
large cities. L
“Repeal should be on the county
unit basis. This is Georgia's adopt
ed political plan. Legislators are
based on the county unit idea. If
they were based on the population
basis Fulton county (Atlanta)
would have 30 members; she has
three. Bibb county (Macon) would
have ten; she has three; the
smallest county has one.”
He said one large city, formerly
noted as “perhaps the most moral”
had “slipped from that high estate
—Sunday theatres, Sunday base
ball, liquor establishments all over
town licensed in- open and avowed
defiance of the laws of the state.
. . . Well might the state, through
‘the county unit plan, protect it
\self from these city influences.
There is g different type of mo
rality obtaining in the large cities
from that of the rural and small
‘town districts”.
Declaring that all the state pro
hibition law needed to make it a
success was “genuine sympathetic
enforcement,” the speaker said in
one large city it is a “black mark”
on the record of an officer if he
arrests a person for drunkenness.
“Legalized liquor is an economic
loss to the country,” he said. *“Re

Supreme Court Decision on
Oil Code May Spell Doom of
Other New Deal Legislation
Efforts Will Still Be Made
To Keep Federal Lid
On ‘“‘Hot Qil’”’
ADAMS EXPLAINS
Colorado Democrat Says
Ruling Expected on
Some Provisions
WASHINGTON —— (#) — The
New Deal, geprived of a portion of
NIRA which the supreme court
tossed out of the window as un
consttutienal, still strove today to
keep the federal lid on “hot oil.”
At the same time, the belief was
expressed in one quarter on Capitol
Hill that the high tribunal's act in
scrapping an oil control provision
in the National Industrial Recovery
act spelled the doom of some other
New Deal legislatton.
Senator Adams, Democrat, Colo
rado, said some of the laws behind
the government's agricultural pro
gram contained provisions similar
to the oil control features which
the supréeme court killed on the
ground congress had delegated too
much law-making power to the
president.
“We have gone the whole way in
‘these delegations,” said Adams. “It
can hardly be expected that the
courts will uphold all the delega
tions congress attempted, It in
evitably will affect some of the
agricultural agencles.”
The section scrapped by an 8
to 1 decision was 9 (C) undet
which the government has been
undertaking to bar from interstate
commerce oil produced in excess
of quotas fixed by state ' agencies,
‘this petroleum is known as “hot
oil.” y
Secretary Ickes, oil administra
tor, noted that the deecision “did
not rule on the oil code” embodied
in other parts of NIRA.
“We still have that code and will
continue to operate,” he declared.
“We will attempt to regulate hot
oil with every resource we have.”
SEES SIGNIFICANCE
TULSA, Okla. —(AF)—Midcon
tinent oil men grouped today so:
the full significance of the su
preme court ruling that invalidated
the oil control section of the Na
tion Industrial Recovery act.
At the same time they watched
apprehensively for the reaction
and wondered where it would be
felt first.

the crude price structure and in
the refining branch of the industry,

GERA TERRACING
SCHOOL STARTED
Dean Paul W. Chapman
Is Opening Speaker at
Morning Session
Initiation by more than 20 coun
ties of terracing programs “is one
of the most constructive and hope
ful projects recently undertaken in
this state,” said Dean Paul W.
Chapman, of the Unversity College
of Agriculture, at the opening of a
Terracing school for GERA super
visors this morning.
Approximately 25 workers sup
plied to counties which have made
available power terracing equip
ment by GERA are attending the
schoeol sponsored by the College’s
department of agricultural engin
eering.
~ R. L. Vansant, GERA, rural re
habilitation director was to have
addresseq the group this morning
also, but pressure of business in
the Atlanta GERA office kept him
there. R. L. Bohanan, GERA ter
racing supervisor, said for Vansant
that the “control of soil erosion is
one of the malJor fundamentals of
rural rehabilitation.”
Been Wasteful
“Because the resources of our
country have been so vast, we
have been a wasteful people,” Dean
Chapman said, adding that, “Our
attitude has been thme of the pione
eer, We have let each day serve
its own ‘selfish interests and have
found that the polcy is not a wise
one to follow.”
He continued that in agriculture
the “soil is the basis of all produc
tion; in fact, it is the basic source
of all wealth.” In the light of the
present stuation. Dean Chapman
added, the first step in conservation
then, is terracing land. |
He declared further: |
“One belief which I have js that
the average farmer does not have
the equipment to do a first-class
job of terracng, and cannot afford
to buy it. i

PAUL BROWN
Representative in Congress from
the TentH district who has intro

cluding Athens.
BROWN INTRODUCES
BILL FOR MARKETS
Tenth District Congress
man Also Wins Impor
tant House Post
i According to a Washington dis
‘fiatch Congressman Paul Brown
iof the Tenth district has intro
- duced a bill in congress to estab
!lish a series of agricultural mar
kets in Georgia, one of which will
' be located in Athens.
~ In the same day's news, it is
learned that Congressman Brown
has been agreed upon for appoint
meant to the house banking and
currency committee. The dispatch
states that “the Georgia congress
man, now serving on four minor
committees which he will be re
quired to give up to accept the
major assignment, was one of
some 75 house members who had
been proposed for a place on the
important banking committee, His
former assignments included cen
sus, public buildings and grounds,
roads, and World war veterans'
legislation.
“In the light of the large num
ber of contenders for the place it
is obviously a tribute to the Geor
gia member that he was chosen
by house leaders over others for
the committee.”
The markets proposed in Con
gressman Brown’s bill are design
ed to facilitate the sale, exchange,
storage and processing of all agri
cultural produects. They would be
established by the United States
Department of Agriculture out of‘
new funds to be appropriated for
public works. 1
While the Georgia congressman
did not list the cities in the state
which would be beneficiaries of
the plan, passage of his bill would
undoubtedly result in the se]ectloni
