TOBAGCO CONTROL INJUNCTION ASKED Louisville Suit Attacks Con- stitutionality of Kerr- Smith Law, By the Associated Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky, November 28.— The Kerr-Smith tobacco control act was attacked as unconstitutional and en injunction was asked to restrain collection of its 25 per cent tax on growers who failed to sign the Gov- ernment’s crop reduction agreement, in a suit filed in United States Dis- trict Court here today. The suit filed in behalf of W. E. Frank and Oscar Penn, Fayette County, Ky., tobacco producers, doing business under the name of Penn Bros, named as defendants Seldon R. Glenn, United States collector of internal revenue here, and MacSwin- ford, United States district attorney for the Eastern Kentucky district. The petition alleged violations of the Constitution for the following reasons: | The act was not enacted to raise revenue, but was enacted to control acreage and the quantity of tobacco raised. It constitutes an effort by Congress to regulate beyond its power under the Constitution. In violation of the fifth amendment, it deprives citizens of property with- out due process of law It is an arbitrary unreasonable. Because of certain exemptions allowed Maryland and Virginia tobacco, it violates article 1 of the Constitu- tion, which provides uniform duties throughout the United States. POLICE HANDLING OF WATCH PROBED Inquiry Seeks to Fix Blame for Sending Seized Timepiece to Wrong Person. penalty and is Police Supt. Ernest W. Brown today began an investigation in the depart- ment’s property room to determine whether carelessness was responsible for a watch, seized by the police, be- ing turned over to the wrong person, The inquiry resulted from a com- plaint by a Washington jeweler that a new wrist watch, which had been in possession of a salesman, and seized in a gambling raid, had been returned to him showing evidence of having been used. Maj. Brown said a preliminary in- quiry showed three watches had been turned into the department at the same time. One of them apparently had been placed in the wrong enve- lope and turned over to a lawyer who claimed the property of a man who died from a heart attack. Two of the watches were of the same make, he said, and since no record is kept of the case numbers, a mistake may have occurred in assorting and classifying the prope"\v EXICO ORDERS SURVEY TO KEEP OUT MALADIES Los Angeles Tropical Disease Ex- pert to Be Member of Scientific Group.

Microbes Down Dr. Armstrong, Modest Health Service Hero Experimenter in Hospi- tal, Victim of Strange Malady. Contracted Parrot Fever, Worked on St. Louis Sleep Epidemic. By the Assoclated Press. Dr. Charles Armstrong, modest hero in the Government’s fight against disease, lay helpless in Naval Hospital today—victim of a mysterious malady unknown to science. For two decades a foremost *“mi- crobe hunter” of the Public Health Service, Dr. Armstrong was struck down as he pressed research into sleeping sickness. But, so far as is known, the malady that attacked him bears no relation to sleeping sickness. A skin eruption appears on the sides of his body, he runs a temperature and at times grows delirious. The possibility that he contractedl the disease deliberately, making him- self a “human guinea pig,” was not overlooked, though colleagues said they knew nothing of that. Once Dr. Armstrong contracted parrot fever, or psittacosis, and almost died. From his blood was made con- valescent serum which helped save the life of the wife of Senator William E. Borah. Many Public Health Service phy- sicians and scientists in the past have DR. CHARLES ARMSTRONG. contracted diseases with which they were experimenting. This has hap- pened twice to Dr. Armstrong, who had dengue fever as well as parrot fever. Since the outbreak of sleeping sick- ness in St. Louis yast year, however, Dr. Armstrong has been working on that disease. His present illness has no apparent connection with it. Re- cently he discovered a new virus that seems to cause one variety of enceph- alitis, different from the initial virus discovered in St. Louis. Dr. Armstrong joined the service in 1916. He has a wife and one child, and lives at 1001 Otis street northeast. |Students on Strike Protesting Ousters In Row Over Long Journalists Quit Classes | After L. S. U. Presi- dent Suspends 26. BATON ROUGE, La., November 28. —Students of the School of Journalism of Louisiana State University today remained away from their classes in protest against the suspension of 26 of their members by Dr. James M. Smith, president of the university. The 26 students were suspended last night for “gross disrespect” in issuing a petition calling upon the university heads to reinstate editors of the Reveille, college campus paper, who resigned because Senator Huey Long clamped down a censorship to prevent the paper from publishing material critical of his campus leadership. “I didn’t know what was going on,” Long commented. “I was out of touch with the whole thing. However, I have been working and trying to get enough money to provide facilities for 1,000 additional students. Maybe Dr. Smith got impatient. You know this is one way to solve the problem of _JOE HIGY "OUR PLUMBER’ Next American Sailings to Europe MANHATTAN DEC. 4 and JAN. 3 World's Fastest Cabin Liners WASHINGTON DEC. 14 and JAN. 16 ToCobh, Plymouth, HevreandHamburs.

LOS ANGELES, November 28 (#).— Representative Tom Pettingill of In- diana said yesterday an amendment to the Constitution may be necessary to conserve the United States’ oil re- sources. Mark L. Requa, former national oil administrator, was testifying at a congressional subcommittee hearing on the petroleum industry when Pet- tingill made his statement. Requa | said he would favor such a program |only after all other methods of con- trol had been exhausted. “It is estimated we have under- | ground reserves of 13,000,000,000 bar- rels, which, at the present rates of production, should last 13 years,” Requa said. “We probably will pro- duce a diminishing amount for 50 years, but will be forced to supple- ment it by foreign oil before that time.” French Seaplane Reaches Natal.

COLUMBIA, Mo.,, November 28.— A 23-year-old Iowa farm hand, Fran- cis McNeiley, was held here today as & suspect in the slaying of two Missouri peace officers, a crime pre- viously attributed to the gang of Charles Arthur “Pretty Boy” Floyd, outlaw slain a month ago in Ohio. Maj. L. M. Means of the Missouri highway patrol brought McNeiley here last night from Corydon, Iows. near where he was captured Sunday. Means said McNeiley had confessed orally to parts in the slaying of Sheriff Roger Wilson of Boone County and Sergt. Ben Booth of the State high- way patrol, near here June 14, 1933, and the killing of John Freund, Johns- burg, Minn., storekeeper, in a robbery in October, 1933. Denies Actual Slayings. Means said McNeiley denied he wu‘ the actual slayer in any of the cases. The officer said bullets that Kkilled | Wilson and Booth checked with those used in an automatic pistol found in McNeiley's possession. Search con- tinued for a companion who Mc- Neiley said fired the fatal shots. Adam Richetti, former associate of Floyd, has been held here under murder charges in the slaying of Wilson and Booth. He was arrested near Wellsville, Ohio, two days be- fore Floyd was killed by Federal agents and East Liverpool, Ohio, police. Richetti Release Held Up. W. H. Sapp, Boone County prose- cuting attorney, said he was not yet ready to release Richetti, despite McNeiley's purported confession. “When he is released it will be to Kansas City authorities,” Sapp said Richetti is charged with murder in connection with the slaying at the Kansas City Union Station June 17, 1933, of Frank Nash, convict being returned to prison, and four officers, in an attempt to free Nash.
