TENNESSEAN SAYS Manufacturer Tells I.C.C. Hearing How “Handicap” Affects BY LEROY SIMMS BIRMINGHAM, Ala. —(A)— A Tennessee manufacturer blamed freight handicaps today for a “tre mendous” loss of business to simi lar plants enjoying lower rates for longer distances to markets. The manufacturer, R. B.Hurt, vice-president of the Harwick Stover Wilorks, <Cleveland, Tenn, testified before an Interstate Com merce Commission hearing on the complaint of eight southeastern states that present rates “stifled” industry in Dixie. Hurt said St. Louis and Belle ville, 111., manufacturers, although greater distances from the Balti more market, took business from him there because their frieght rates were lower. “The existing rate structure has served to localize our business,” Hurt testified. “We formerly sold 60 percent of our production to the ‘official’ territory. Now we sell about 30 percent.” The south’'s battle for “parity™ freight rates, termed necessary for industrial development, got down to actual cases today. . Stoves, first on the list of com modities on which reduced rates are gought, were discussed at the Interstate Commerce <€Commission hearing entering its third day. B P. Jacobs, president of the Jacobs Manufacturing Company of Bridge port, Ala. presented specific evi dence, ) Jacohs said his business had dropped considerably in “official® rate teritory (north of the Ohio Potomac rivers and east of the Mississippi) since freight rates were boosteq by I. C. C. orders in 19390 and 1932. He said he was convinced rail traffic moving from the south would be greatly increased by lower rates, His testimony followed introduc tion of statistical tables prepared by Arthur J. Ribe, Birmingham rate expert, showing freight rates between pointg in official territory and markets, and points in southe ern territory. Ribe listed rates for carload shipments from Nashville, Tenn., and Joilet, 111, to Baltimore, Md. He said the rate for 100 pounds from Nashville was listed as 74 cents, as compared to Joliet's 54 cents, although Nashville is 30 miles nearer Baltimore than is Joliet. _ Another example citeq rates from St. Louis, in official territory, and (Continued on Page Three) Roosevelt And Advisers Work At Top Speed To Finish Recovery And President Urges Retention Of Profits Tax Principle WASHINCTON — (AP) — President Roosevelt and his economic advisers worked at top speed today to complete a new recovery and relief program, ap parently agreed upon at a lengthy night conference at the White House, Ministers’ Group Pays Tribute Te Byrd, Duncan Tributes to the late Rev. Henry Lee Byrd, presiding elder of the Athens-Elberton district, and to Dr. Pope A. Duncan, late pastor at Prince Avenue Baptist church, both of whom died recently, are paiq in appreciationg published by the Athens and Vicinity Minister:- al Association, The tribute to the late presid ing elder was written by Rev. G, W Hamilton, pastor of Young Har ris Memorial church, and the tribute to Dr, Duncan was pre pared by Dr. John D. Mell Writing on his association for twenty years with Rev. Byrd, Rev: Hamilton says: “In response to the request of a member of the Athens and Vi cinity Ministerial Association, 1 submit the following appreciation of Rev. Henry Lee Byrd, a for mer member of this association now deceased. Out of an assoclation of twenty years, I bring you thig estimate: Mv first close up contact with my friend and brother, was in the yvear 1918, not far from this sea son of the year. At the time he was pastor on the Feorsyth Circuit and I on ap adjoining ecircuit, the Milner, ag it was then called, now the Barnesville circuit, Our church was then projecting the Centenary Movement and Brother Byrd call ed on me for two days’ assistance in setting up the work in his charge, S e High Privilege i As T reflect on the association of those two days, I find myself fill ed with gratitude for the high privilegze that was given me, for there lies the bhasis of a friend ship that hag grown and ripened ‘as the years have sped by. . He manifested the depth of a gracious personality by the unmer ited kindness and generous solici tation for the comfort of his guest for those two days At that time he gave evidence ‘of a genius for leadership that was to carry him far into the fieldg of Christian service; so much so that the writer felt that he could add little to the splendid organization that he had already worked out. To define a personality is a well nigh hopeless task even for the most gkilled writer, so that with reference t, this unique personal ity, we find the words of another preeminently true whepn he says, “Always personality leaps over the walls of our little definitions. When we attempt to explain a man there ig the overplus, that we never get int, our definitions.” At best we cap only meakure the unseep and indefinable by that which lends it self to sight and that which may be felt. Patriotism is a spiritual thing which we may not infold in words, but a Patriot we may look (Continued on page two). ey 4 B i BTN i g ! Bio , i T % : S R ol L 3 . 3 .
