nificance of the George speech was
apparent to all those who heard It.
A dozen democratic senators (Includ
ing Byrd) were grouped closely about
him, silently Indicating approval of
every word while he suggested that
a member of his own party govern
ment (Agriculture Secretary Wallace)
was unlit to hold office. No adminis
tration spokesmen arose to defend
Wallace or to contest the suggestion.
The unacceptable low price of cot
ton and the shrinkage of the export
market are the two roots of the trou
ble. No one expects Wallace to be
forced out of the cabinet or any
thing like that. But unless he
straightens out the cotton situation,
he Is going to have a rough time
from now on.

Act Remains Moot Ques
tion Senators Urged
Decision Be Allowed
WASHINGTON, April 1. (AP)
The supreme court agreed today to
permit the government to drop its
Nil A case against William E. Belcher
of Alabama, which had been expected

Del.), and Senator Clark (O., Mo.),
members of the senate finance com
mittee which Is considering perma
nent NRA legislation, had Introduced
resolution urging the attorney gen
eral to permit the case to go to a
decision by the high court.
A similar resolution was Introduced
In the house by Representative Tread-
way (R., Mass.).
Judge William I. Grubb of the fed
eral district court at Birmingham
had held the act and the NRA lum
ber code Invalid.
Belcher, an Alabama lumber manu
facturer, was Indicted, on a charge
of failing to observe hours of labor
and wages prescribed by the code of
fair competition for the lumber and
timber producta industry challenging
the validity of both the act and the
code.
He also challenged the validity of
the act as an unconstitutional dele
gation of legislative authority to the
president.
Counsel representing the lumber
code authority was refused recogni
tion by the supreme court to make
a motion In the Belcher case.
Chief Justice Hughes asked the at
torney If he represented Belcher and
when he replied in the negative the
chief Justice told him he could not be
heard.
It waa suggested the government.
In view of the Importance a supreme
court ruling would have on new deal
policies, desired to bring to the court
a more satisfactory case.

DENTISTLOSES
WASHINGTON. April 1. ( AP) An
Oregon law regulating advertising by
dentists was upheld today by the
supreme court.
Harry Semler, a Portland dentist,
contended the act waa not for the
welfare of the general public but for
the financial benefit of a part of
the dental profession at the expense
of the public.
He said he favored a law prohibit
ing dentists from using deceptive or
fraudulent advertising.
The state, he asserted, was at
tempting to enforce the ethics of the
American Dental association and to
enable what he termed a amsll group
of politically appointed dentists con
stituting the state board of exam
iners to revoke licenses.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Mar.
30 Thursday night, Mrs., May
and I saw a fine comedy show
in New York called "Three!
Men on a Horse." The idea is
that a man that is not betting
can dope out the winners.
Well, now, get this for a coinci
dence. I few down here Friday
and I meet the lord mayor of
Dublin, Ireland, a lovely, fine,
little Irish gentleman. Well,
you would naturally ask an
Irishman about the grund na
tional race at Aintree, for all
the good horses in it are Irish.
Well, this little lord mayor
gave them the following win
ners, It e y n o 1 d s t o w n, Blue
Prince, Thomond the Second.
By golly, if he didn't pick 'cm
one, two, three. So if the lord
mayor of Ireland should be
coming your way, no matter if
he tells yon "the Republicans
have a chance," listen to him.
