COURT DISPUTE
Rebuffed Again, Secretary
Sees Stockyard Ruling |
As Victory.
Times Special WASHINGTON, June 1.—Secre- | tary of Agriculture Wallace resumed |
today in the face of a third re-|
sas City Stockyards Case. At the same time, he interpreted the latest | stockyards ruling as a victory for himself and the farmers. Mr. Wallace's quick retort to che | Court's latest rebuke of his regu- |
procedure added to the be- |
the political arena, | rooming |
his fight into
in 1940. “Both the farmers and the com- | ission men,” Mr. Wallace said in| a press statement, "will find it diffi-| to follow” the “involved rea- | soning” of the Supreme Court yes-, terdav in refusing to rehear the| Stockyards Case.
Contradiction Denied
Chief Justive Hughes had said, for | the Court, that the assertions made by Mr. Wallace and Solicitor Gen- | eral Jackson in demanding a re“unwarranted.” The | the two | Stock-
Chief Justice denied that previous decisions in the vards Case were contradictory, and

Passing a tax bill which conRoosevelt the Legislators insisted on so scaling down New Deal levies on corporation surplus funds and on capital gains that he refused to sign the bill, permitting it to become a law | without that gesture of implied ap- | proval. Railroads caught in the spectacular decline of business activity which marked the 1937-38 depression raised a problem before Congress and the White House. Mr. Roosevelt called Congressional attention to the gravity of the situation but made no specific recommendations. It is not likely that legislation for rail reorganization will be enacted before next session. New general RFC loan channels were opened for business but special RFC loans for railroads bogged down in a row over proposed rail wage cuts.

WASHINGTON, June 1 (U, P)—| Charges of Administration meddling | in primary contests intensified a cloakroom fight today over selec- | tion of a Democratic chairman for the Senatorial Campaign Committee. The Committee chairman has | broad authority in the assignment | of speakers, distribution of literature and allocation of funds in the | Congressional campaigns. Under | precedent, Senators facing re-elec-
| tion are influential in the selection |
of the chairman, but actually he is |
| named by the Majority Leader.
Precedent also dictates that the chairman should not come from a state in which there is a Senatorial
| contest.
Senator Green (D. R. I). a stanch
| New Dealer, has been reported as |
the Administration’s choice. Conservatives, however, have their | own candidate. Their first selection, | Senator Harrison (D. Miss.), has re- | fused the post. Second choice ap- | pears to be Senator O'Mahoney D. | Wyo.), who was an opponent of the | President's Court Reorganization ! Bill, but who supported the Government reorganization program.

Treasury Agreement to Buy More of China’s Silver Revealed.
WASHINGTON, June 1 (U. P.)).— Secretary of State Cordell Hull today offered Canada a reconditioned Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway Treaty on a deferred payment plan. Secretary Hull and his associates overhauled the 1932 treaty, which failed of passage in the Senate in 1934, adding permission for Canadian export of hydro-electric power
to the United States on a temporary
basis, and giving Canada more time within which to construct her part
The reconditioned treaty was then
as a tentative treaty covering the proposed giant development. Except for the deferred payment features and other minor changes. the treaty is practically the same document as that which former Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson
In the explanation which accompanied the text, the State Depart-
designed to overcome the opposition of New York State. New York Senators were largely responsible for failure of the 1932 treaty to obtain Senate approval. The explanation said, in part: “Deep water navigation will meet | cheap power. This will make possible the bringing together of Great. Lakes iron ore, Canadian and American mineral resources, and Included in this is the possible development of the extremely rich and relatively | undeveloped iron ore resources in New York State itself.”
New Agreement On Silver Revealed
(Copvright, 1938. by United Press) WASHINGTON, June 1.—The Treasury has a new agreement to purchase additional quantities of | silver from the Chinese Government, it was learned today. Since May 1936, the United
States has purchased approximately 250,000,000 ounces of silver from China. These purchases have been |
governed by understandings cover- |
ing specific periods, in the last of which, reached in December 1937, the United States agreed to purchase an undisclosed quantity of

The child's body was found Monday in a shallow grave near her home. It bore 28 stab wounds. Police revealed Trent confessed to killing the child after he viewed her body in the morgue. “I caught her and stabbed, and stabbed and stabbed,” Trent was quoted as saying. The day after the slaying he sold 100 newspaper extras announcing the finding of Shirley's mutilated body, it was learned.
