NORRIS IMPLORES [Successful Operation [FRANCHISE RENEWAL Of Industries Claimed ON FIRST READING IN NEW DEALERS FOR COURT ATTACK AID Democrats Chary Hoping to On- tain Results ‘Within Lan- guage’ of Opinions Washington, Feb. 13.—(?)—Leading the vanguard of those who would curb the supreme court, Senator Norris (Rep.-Neb.) virtually is im- ploring all New Dealers to follow him in a concerted attack. But there was no indication that the administration forces would rally with him in united array to seek ac- tion this session. Democratic coun- cils are divided on the question. Deal purposes “within the language of the majority opinions” of the court. Norris, in his senate speech Wed- nesday attacking the court’s AAA de- cision, said pointedly that congress could “remedy the situation if it has the courage to do so.” He has said that the constitution “clearly gives congress the right to say what the supreme court shall and shall not pass down.” He holds that a consti- tutional amendment thus is not nec- essary to curb the tribunal. Norris defended the new administration farm bill, projected as a substitute for AAA. The bill was still in the debate stage in the senate Thursday, with leaders hoping for a vote before Fri- day night. PROGRESS IN BRAIN TREATMENT HAILED AS SURGICAL OMEN Dr. William J.

SPECIAL BREAD SALE AT PATTERSON BAKERY Veterans The American Legion will close its office set Million-Barrel Year Forecast for State Mill, Governor Wel- ford Reports North Dakota's state-owned indus- tries have been “successfully” operated and “without political interference” during the past year, Governor Wel- ford stated Wednesday. He referred to the state mill and elevator at Grand Forks and the bank of North Dakota. “The mill,” he said, “will probably have its first 1,000,000-barrel year, while the bank during the last two years has made it possible for the state to reduce its bond interest nearly $600,000 annually. “The work of the industrial com- mission as a steering committee in mill and elevator affairs has had a di- rect bearing on the favorable record established during the last eight months by the largest state-owned in- dustry,” Welford said. Sales Almost Trebled “Under the management of Senator A. F. Bonzer the mill produced 497,101 barrels of flour during the last six Months of 1935, as compared with a six-months’ average of 285,578 bar- rels in the 1930-34 period. Sales dur- ing the same period increased to 722,- 080 barrels as compared with a six- months’ average of 267,038 barrels. “A total of 497,101 barrels during a six-months’ period as compared with the average yearly production of 420,- 000 barrels would seem to be more than a favorable start toward the 1,- 000,000-barrel year goal now set,” Wel- ford said. The statewide trucking plan inaug- urated during the last year is now a sizeable investment in the hands of 24 mill agents contact every possible flour outlet in the state, and the sys- tem has spread to Minnesota, South a and Wisconsin, the governor Have Unfilled Orders ‘The mill has been operated on a 24- hour a day basis and present unfilled orders indicate that the steady run will be continued indefinitely. ““The power and ability to produce and profitably handle business in vol- ume such as has been demonstrated during the last six or eight months, is the only way in which the investment of the taxpayers in the state mill and elevator property can be made to show @ profitable return and otherwise ful- fill its functions as conceived by its creators,” the governor declared.

COOLIDGE SAILS New York, Feb, 13.—(7)—Mrs, Cal- HETTINGER COUNCIL Would Extend Utility Monopoly . Five Years Rather Than 20 as Previously Hettinger, N. D., Feb. 13.—(#)—The Hettinger city council took its initial: step in granting renewal of a utilities franchise since launching of legal ac- tion by a group of consumers to pre- vent renewal, when it held first read- ing of an ordinance awarding the Moytana-Dakota Power company a five-year franchise to furnish light and power in the city. The franchise is non-exclusive, per- mitting the council to give a similar franchise to another company if it desires, and it provides an option whereby the city may purchase the power company’s property at the end of each yearly period. Limit Franchise In limiting the new franchise to a five-year period, the council decided that the shorter term would permit the city to take advantage of any de- velopments arising from the federal government's power program. The Montana-Dakota Power company had been furnishing light and power in Hettinger under a 20-year franchise which expired last Dec. 5. To become effective, the ordinance granting the renewal franchise must have a second reading at a subsequent meeting of the council, and a resolu- tion adopting the ordinance must be passed, Action to prevent the council from granting the renewal franchise was launched more than a year ago with the formation of a Citizens’ Light and Power committee to study utilities rates in Hettinger and other towns served by either company or municipal plants. Since then a group of local taxpayers have carried on a militant campaign for a municipal power plant. Granted Restraint Legal steps designed to halt renewal of the franchise were started two months ago. A temporary restraining order was issued by Judge F. T. Lembke, Hettinger, but the action was dismissed by Judge Harvey Miller, Dickinson, on the grounds that suf- ficient acts were not alleged in the complaint. Five taxpayers then instigated an ouster suit against three members of the council and the suit has been taken under advisement by Judge John C. Lowe, Minot, whose decision is expected soon.

The dispatch from Hskining, capital of the Japanese-advised state of Man- chukuo, quoting a spokesman for the Manchukuan foreign office, said the encounter Wednesday at Olahodka was the most serious thus far of the last year’s frontier incidents. Military reports from the border confirmed reports that planes at- tempted to bomb the Japanese-Man- chukuan column involved, but failed to inflict casualties, the dispatch said. Accounts differed as to whether two or three planes took part in the en- gagement, as to whether they were Russian or Outer Mongolian, War minister Yoshiyuki Kawashima proclaimed Japanese concern over a TITTLE BROS.
