Suit Against U. S |
. WASHINGTON,—(#)—Over the
H)rotest of the government, the
supreme court today agreed to let
Governor KEugene Talmadgk of
Georgia file a suit attacking con
stitutionality of the Bankhead
cotton production control act.
Talmadge has been a frequent
critic of the administration
This was the first request
received by the high tribunal from
a state seeking to start original
action in the gupreme court against
New Deal legislation, TUsually,
cases are started in lower courts
and brought here on appeal.
The high court already had
agreed to review a case brought by
I.ee Moor, a Texas planter, which
affected the Bankhead act.
But some attorneys contended
this case could be decided without
passing on the validity of the act
e
Moor sought to compel the Texas
and New Orleans railroad to trans
port his cotton which had no tags
attached to show he had complied
with the act. His petition was dis
missed by lower courts. Arguments
will be heard here in December
with. Government attorneys parti«
cipating.
Talmadge contended the legis
lation was “unconstitutional” ‘and
was rendering the state’s farm
lands ‘“‘substantially worthless."v
Georgia operates two prison tarms[
on which cotton is grown. |
Georgia’s petition, which asked |
that the act be declared unconsti
tutional and that secretary Mor
genthau and other federal official
be enjoined from -collecting the
tax imposed on cotton ‘produced in
excess of a fixed quota, had beem
oppoed by Stanley Reed, the solici

He had replied on behalf of the

essentially against the United

Benito Mussolini's wundeclared
war in Ethiopia met world oppo
sition today as the league of Na
tions’ economic sanctions were ap
plied against Italy.
At midnight, the program
whereby 51 league memberg agreed
to prevent importation of Italian
goods and to stop exporting cers,
tain raw materials to Italy went
into effect. v
Italy, having already made pre
parations to combat the penalties
for its invasion in East Africa,
which the TLeague has termed
“Agressive,” digplayed its “im
placable resistance” to the sanc
tions in a showing of banners
throughout the nations.
It had promised to treat other
nations as they treated Italy. The
fascist grand council, which on
Saturday denounced the sanctions,
wag to meet again tonight to study
details of Italy’s fight against them
and, it said in informed quarters, 4
to consider peace proposals raised
in diplomatic contracts,
Embassy Guarded J
’ Italian troeps guarded the Brit
ish embassy in Rome and the head
quarters of other sanctionist coun- =
tries, as youths began demonstra- .
tions’* ‘denouncing the sanctions.
Some shouted “down with En
gland!” i
Delay in applications of the
sanctions by certain countries was
expected because of ~legal-difficut
ties. The Spanish government had
not yet published its | decrees
making the economic penalties
effective, while the exact time of
enforcement -by France. .was. in.
doubt. e
The economic sanctiong were the
last of the measures against Italy
approved by the League. Financial
sanctions, by whieh credit is not -
extended to Italy and business is
not done with Ttallans, and an
armg embargo had already been
made efective.
