HALT IS ORDERED
WASHINGTON — (AP) —
AAA field offices were order
ed today to halt all activities.
BY NATHAN ROBERTSON
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
(Copyright, 1936, Associated Press)
WASHINGTON —(AP)— A belief
that much more of the New Deal
is as good as dead gripped many
of itg strongest supporters today
as they studied with dismay the
6 to 3 supreme court decigsion which
wiped out AAA as completély as
NRA.
With the capital in confusion,
the vast AAA farm control mach
inery ground to a full stop. The
flow of cash to farmers, which has
totaled $1,127,000,000, halted, sal
aries of 6,500 full-time AAA em
ployes, and many part-time work
ers were cut off. Collection of
processing faxes stopped. ;
Several Republicans hailed the
decision, calling it an opportunity
for their party to return the coun
try to ‘“constitutional government.”
Reserve Comment
Most New Deal leaders reserved
comment, for the time. But Sena
tor.Byrnes, Democrat, South Caro
:i;m-&‘mw’ cos -the#iighest in New
Deal councils, expressed convic
tion that the court, as now con
stituted, would kill the vast social
security program, pride of Presi
dent Roosevelt.
Another high Democratic sena
tor, who preferred to remain
anonymous, said the court’s atti
tude spelled invalidation for the
Guffey coal control and the Wag
ner labor relations law.
There was even talk among New
Dealers that the $4,000,000,000 work
relief program, which like the soc
ial security law has not been chal
lenged in® the courts, would go
“out the window.”
Other major laws, not tagged
“New Deal legislation,” also-* fell
under the shadow of doubt. Sena
tor Bankhead, Democrat, Alabama,
asailing the AAA decision as “poor
law,” expressed belief the court
would also rule his Bankheaa
cotton control law invalid.
Democrats and Republicans as
sumed that such crop control
measures as the Wharren potato
act and the Kerr-Smith tobacece
bill would be ruled unconstitution-

NEW YORK —(AP) — Finan

Monday's confusion reactions to
the invalidation of the AAA by
the Supreme Court.
Stock dipped and rallied in ac
tive dealings, with losses of a few
cents to around $1 a share pre

ally, pointed lower as traders at

the New Deal's setback on its

STATE NEWS BRIEFS
By The Associated Press
MACON—The name of Jesse H.
Jones, head of the RFC, was thrust
today into presidential campaign
speculation by Vance Muse, a rep
resentative of the “southern com
mittee to uphold the constitution.”
Muse came to Georgia a few days
ago to act in behalf of John H.
Kirby of Houston, Texas, who
heads the committee, in arranging
with Governor Talmadge a meet
ing of “Rock Ribbed Jeffersonian
Democrats” here January 29. |
The suggestion of Jones for pres
ident was offered by Muse after
he had expressed the opinion the
supreme court's decision voiding
the AAA meant the political ell
mination of President Roosevelt.
Muse said he had sent to Govers
nor James V. Allred of Texay and
others prominent in that state a
telegram which said in part:

GIRL TELLS STORY
OF STERILIZATION
Youthful Heiress Sues
Wealthy Mother for Half
Million Dollars
SAN FRANCISCO —(AP)— The
Bitter story of Ann Cooper Hewitt,
petite young heiress, who accuses
| her mother of depriving her of
motherhood as a step toward gain
iing her fortune, was told today in
; her own words.
{ “I had no dolls when I wag little
and I'll have no children when I'm
| old,” she said. “That's my story.
| That!s all there is to it.”
i The 21-year-old girl, with two-
Ithirds of the income from a $lO,-
| 000,000 trust fund, filed a $500,000
| damage suit yesterday against her
| mother, Mrs. Maryon Hewitt Mec
| Carter, and two sugreons, charging
' she was sterilized August 18, 1934
iwhen she thought she wag under
ig,oing, an appendectomy.
. Drs. Tilton E. Tillman and Sam
’ uel G. Boyd of San Francisco, nam
;ed co-defendants, said the opera
tion was performed at the behest of
}the girls mother after tests showed
Miss Hewitt to be “feeble-minded.”
The suit, filed by Attorney Rus
sell P. Tyler, alleged Mrs. McCarter
neglected and abused. her daughter.‘:
land “squandered thousands of dol
lars belonging to Ann” gambling in
It}w world’s haughtiest casinos.
~ Tyler said the girl now is getting
two-thirds of the income from the
trust fund set up by her fatner,
Peter Cooper Hewitt, inventor, who
died in 1921, and that a suit de
manding an accounting from Mrs.
McCarter would be filed in New
Jersey. :
The girl said she was kept “lock
ed up” when she was little and that
her mother repeatedly called her
“an imbecile.” i
~ “I was alwayg unhappy,” she said.
“My motner was away all night
and gave me the third degree all
iday. ;
| “I never had any boy friends. 1
never had any friends.”
The alleged “assault” occurred 11
months before the girl would have

FOR HOUSE FLOOR
Veterans’ Measure Expect
ed to Get Quick Action
In Lower Branch
WASHINGTON =~ (AP) — The
bonus bill backed by major veter
ans’ organizations was ready to go
to the house floor today. With
hitherto hostile factions now in ac
cord, Its sponsors foresaw quick
passage and transmission to the
senate,
The house ways and means com
mittee—without a single dissenting
voice—yesterday approved the plan
for cash payment to 8,000,000 World
War veterans, The bill’s backers
say the immediate outlay will be
$1,000,000,000, but opponents assert
fit will be much higher,
k Representative Vinson (D-Ky)
ico-spomsor of the. legislation with
Representatives Patman (D-TeX)

troduce it. The three legislators
l;expressed a hope the bill would be
taken up by the house tomorrow or
“Thursday for sure.”
Speaker Byrns said the leader

N The measure, as it stands, pro

for a refund of interest paid on
loans on the certificateg and the
cancellation of interest in arrears.
The bill, backed by the American
Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars,
and the Disabled American Veter

WASHINGTON.— (& —J. P.

World War.
Flanked by his senior partners,
the famous banker faced question

Morgan's contention that finan

the progress of the hearing.”
