NEW SUIT FILED INHIGHWAY RULE Contractors Charge Georgia Governor’s Control Is lllegal. By the Assoctated Press. ATLANTA, July 1.—A new legal move to throw the validity of Gov. Talmadge's military rule of the Highway Depart- ment before thre dge Federal court was taken today, shortly after United States Judge E. Marvin Under- wood had ordered briefs filed next Wednesday on the question of dismis- sal of another injunction petition. The latest suit in the legal battle following Gov. Talmadge's martial-law roclamation, was filed by the Beck- gun-anler Construction Co. of Perry, Ga., and charged the Governor was vio- Jating the fourteenth amendment to the United States Constitution, which provides that no person be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. ‘The petition, asking an injunction to end the military rule and thus bring about the reinstatement of J. W. Bar- nett and W. C. Vereen, ousted under martial law, as members of the High- ‘way Board, ch-\r’ !mth(e;o"mcr hald made it imposs] or company to form a contract with the Highway d. The contract, it said, calls for supervision of the execution of the con- tract by the duly constituted Highway Board, and that the present set-up is 1llegal. Judge Underwood had just concluded | a hearing on the Barneft-Vereen in- | Jjunction petition when the new suit wes filed. Under the law, five days must elapse before the issue comes to trial, and no date has been set for a hearing because of the necessity of or- ganizing a three-judge court. PUBLISHERS DENY SCHOOL BOOK RACKET Cheap Politicians Blamed for , Charges, Association Told at | Atlanta Session. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, July 1—Charges that| publishers have formed a “trust” and are engaged in a ‘“racket” of forcing excessive prices for school books were denied by a publisher’s representative addressing the Joint Legislative Text Book Association today. “Cheap politicians who want to get their names in the papers tell you there is some sort of trust and racket,” said | 8. G. Gilbreath, Southern manager of the John C. Winston Publishing Co. “A man who makes a statement like that does so viciously or through igno- Tgnce.” The accusations were made before the association yesterday by Gov. Dave | Sholtz of Florida. He charged the “gchool book trust is operating one of | the greatest rackets in the country.” “I deny emphatically that there is & trust or a racket in the publishing busi- ness,” Gilbreath continued. “I have never known any other business where campetition is so keen. I challenge you to show any sort of agreement be- tween the book companies to fix prices or do anything else.” — DR.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 1.—Progress of the Jewish National Home in Palestine was reviewed tonight by Morris Rothen- berg, president of the organization, at the opening of the thirty-sixth annual convention of American Zionists. Contrasting the attitude voiced by Zionists in recent years in regard to the high commissioner of Palestinv, named by the British, Mr. Rothenberg praised Sir Arthur Grenfeil Wauchope, the commissioner, for his co-operation with the Jews in Palestine. At the same time, Mr. Rothenberg deplored the failure of the mandatory power, which is Great Britain's, to al- lot a’greater number of immigration certificates to meet the needs of perse- cuted Jews in Germany and other lands who are looking to Palestine as a haven of refuge. Negotiations for sub- stantial enlargement of the immigra- tion schedule are in progress, he said. In 11 months ended June 1, Mr. Rothenberg continued, 1,662 American Jews have settled in Palestine, taking to that homeland a total capital of $3,- 138,046. In this connection he an- nounced receipt of a bequest of $40,240 from the estate of Rebecca and Albert Zundelovitz of Los Angeles and Wichiia Falls, Tex., as a specific trust for dis- :ribution in the upbuilding of Pales- ine. From all countries, he said, 20,000 Jews had entered the Jewish National Home in the last 18 months. Extent of capital influx, he added, was indicated by the fact that in 1932 there were new investments in Palestine totaling more than $12,000,000. Organization of a legislative councn in Palestine, as proposed by the high commissioner, was declared contrary o the wishes of the Zionists. “We cannot possibly ~ agree to a constitutional change,” Mr. Rothenberg said, “which in practice would give the Arabs the power of obstructing the execution of the mandate.” THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, JULY FIRMS' DISSOLUTION HELD SIGNIFICANT Action in Drug, Inc., Case |ru Seen as Beginning of “De- merging” of Big Business. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 1.—Wall Street, no longer in a mood to be shocked or even surprised at revolutionary depar- tures from tradition in finance and economics, is wondering now whether the proposed dissolution of Drug, Inc., marks the beginning of an era of merging” of big industrial units. Thfi plan to break up this $150,0 000 holding corporation looks signifi- cant to some financial commentators, because, undertaken voluntarily, it ap- pears to hang a large question mark on something that has accepted as gospel in many industrial quarters for the past half century. No ejactly parallel case may be found in the records, it is asserted. Such giant combines as the old Stand- ard Oil Co. of New Jersey and the old American Tobacco Co. were dis- membered, and the constituent com- panies given their original independ- ence as a result of Government prose- ons under the anti-trust laws. cutis Otmrbl‘hmmm-hl"d- integrated under the ht of bank- g‘:{ this super- neither beset by financial stress nor, so far as is known, was it considered a ble target for an anti-trust action. ts business had naturally suffered some decline from the depression, but stockholders had received good divi- dends from the organization in 1928 and presumably were satisfied that the company occupied & sound place in the drug industry. The idea that the plan to liquidate Drug, Inc., may foreshadow further decentralization in the industrial sphere was no doubt fostered to some extent by the management’s explanation of its dpumole On this A. H. Die- bold, president of the company, said: “National and economic events have moved rapidly recently and all stock- holders will realise that there is today in process of development an entirety new and c! set of conditions which will have far-reaching effect on :ru’:inu- operations in many indus- company was COTTON PLAN TO WIN IN SOUTH CAROLINA Textile Manufacturing Plants . of State Forsesee Stabilised Industry, COLUMBIA, 8. C,, July 1.—The mat- ter of most absorbing interest in South Carolina today is the cotton reduction plan. To be able to get from $6 to $12 rent for land, and then have the use of the land, is a proposition almost too good to be true. It 1s somewhat offset, of course, bysthe need to plow up cotton that is now promising much, and the present cotton crop is promis- ing, possibly the bestfor a number of years. ‘Therefore, the average farmer will be impelled not only by the crop promise, but by selfish motives, to es- timate highly the prospective value of the crop to be plowed up. But there is no fear that the scheme will not be fully accepted in South Carolina. The ability to buy from the Govern- ment at 6 cents a pound cotton which % now selling at about 10 cents, to- /A lovely country estate surrounded by eool-in. viting terraced gardens and beautiful, large trees ...blended with the rhythms of sweet Viennese music, makes this a distinctively different place to dine.
