A—4 *» K SUPRENE COURT HEARS LK FRAT Highland Farms Counsel Says Virginia Law Is Unconstitutional. ®5 the Associated Press. Counsel for the Highland Farms Dairy. distributor in the Alexandria- Arlington area, contended in the Su- preme Court yesterday that the Vir- ginia milk and cream act of 1934 was unconstitutional. ‘The law, which was upheld by the Federal Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, provides for a milk con- trol board with authority to fix prices and regulate marketing in areas where the majority of producers request such action. The Highlands Farms Dairy asserted the act “gives the commission power without fixing any standard whatever to determine who may have or who may not have a license to produce and distribute milk in any territory.” Phillip Rosenfeld, dairy counsel, said that “under this law we are com- pelled to sell milk at a fixed price when we should have a differential be- cause we operate on a cash-and-carry basis.” He argued that the Virginia law differed basically from the New York milk control law, which the Su- preme Court upheld, Edwin H. Gibson, assistant attorney general of Virginia, said the control laws of Virginia and New York were the same, “except that the Virginia law requires that before the commission shall exercise powers in any distribu- tion area it shall hold a public hearing, while the New York law provides for no public hearings.” VAUGHN BIBLE CLASS TO MARK 46TH YEAR Dr. Alexander and Dr. Stockdale to Address Calvary Bap- tist Group. ‘The Vaughn Bible Class of Calvary Baptist Church, the oldest organized Bible class in the world, will hold its forty-sixth annual banquet Friday in Shallenberger Hall of the churcl.

A $50,000,000 subscription to the de- fense loan was reported earlier to have | been pledged by the Paris branch of an American bank after Premier Leon Blum's government asked quick pas- sage of the bills authorizing the is- suance of bonds which would be re- payable in dollars and pounds, as well as francs, for the benefit of foreign investors. Despite publication of Washington dispatches reporting concern over prospects of American participation in the loan, financial quarters indicated that American capital abroad con- sidered it could do as it pleased. The unnamed American banking firm persistently was reported in financial circles already to have un- dertaken to absorb the $50,000,000 slice of the bond issue. It was con- sidered other American and British investors would not hesitate to take up the subscriptions they are said to have promised. U. S. Opposition Revealed. ‘The French press published with- out comment the advices from Wash- ington of Government opposition to American money being invested in defense loans because of the Johnson act, which forbids loans to nations in default on war debts. Minister of Finance Vincent Auriol completed the draft of the measure last night and pushed for its immedi- ate consideration in the Chamber of Deputies, while Premier Blum con- ferred with Senators in an effort to secure speedy debate.

The Treasury, politely rebuffing s French attempt to facilitate borrow- ing from Americans, left open today the question of whether investors | legally may ship money across the | Atlantic to buy part of France’s new | defense loan. Secretary Morgenthau told reporters | that investors themselves, their law- | yers and Federal district attorneys would hdve to decide if sending funds | abroad to purchase French govern- ment securities is a violation of the | Johnson act. (The Johnson act forbids loans to nations defaulting on war debts.) | “It would be a question of whether the law had been broken, and that | isn’t my problem,” Morgenthau said. He added that, although the Treas- ury would be informed of any large shipments of capital it would have no way of knowing “if a person put 10 $100 bills in an envelope and sent them to France.” Morgenthau turned over to admin- istration congressional leaders copies of a query from the French govern- ment asking whether the United States would object to appointment of a fiscal agent in New York to pay coupons on the proposed loan in dol- lars. ‘The Treasury's reply, made public by Senator Robinson, Democrat, of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, said it did envision objections.
