SOOTH RAIL RATES
HEARING TO OPEN
Governors to Lay Charges
Before I. C. C. Tomorrow
With Lee Presiding.
EJ the Associated Press,
BIRMINGHAM. Ala,. April 9 —
Southern Governors' claims that dis
crimination in rril rates is "strang
ling" Southern industries will be laid
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission here Monday.
The Governors charge freight tar
iffs in the South range to 39 per cent
higher than rates for similar freight
movements in the North and East
and contend there is no justification
for low Northern rates solely on the
basis of "traffic density."
New England Governors have
formed their own rate committee to
combat their* fellow chief executives
in the South. They have described
this rate case as an effort of the
South to gain unfair industrial ad
vantages.
Several Southern Governors, head
ed by Bibb Graves of Alabama, will
appear at the hearing to state their
rase, and industrialists of New Eng
land and the sponsors of Southern
industrial growth will follow closely
these proceedings.
The hearing officially is on a com
plaint by the State of Alabama et al
against the New York Central Rail
road Co. et al.
Joined with Alabama are the States
of Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mis
sissippi. North Carolina, South Caro
lina and Tennessee, whose Governors
constitute the Southern Freight Rate
Conference.
The suit, to be heard by I. C. C.
Commissioner William E. Lee, em
braces an effort by the Southerners
to gain "parity" of the rates from
South to North with rRtes between
points in the "official” territory (that
section east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio and Potomac Riv
ers).
Major commodities involved include
natural building stone and marble,
stoves and ranges, furnaces and other
heavy products. Textiles are not a
part, being taken up in a separate
case.
Opening statement of the attack on
existing rates will be made by Gov.
, Graves, who in press statements had
emphasized that "Thus is not a sec
tional fight, but an effort to benefit
both the manufacturers of the South
and the consumers of the North, to
the mutual development of the whole
country.”

TWO SCHOLARSHIPS
OFFERED NURSES^
Bed Cross to Perpetuate Ideals
and Service of Clara
Dutton Noyes.
• Two scholarships for trained nurses
In the Florence Nightingale Interna
tional Foundation in London will be
given each year in the ensuing five
years by the American Red Cross in |
memory of the late Clara Dutton
Noyes of Washington, it was an- j
nounced yesterday.
Valued at *1.350 each, the scholar
ships will be awarded to an American j
nurse and to a nurse from a foreign j
. country each year, it was said. The '■
United States' candidate will be
passed upon by the American Red
Cross, the American Nurses’ Associa
tion and the Florence Nightingale
Foundation Committee, while the
nurse from abroad will be recom
mended by the League of Red Cross
Societies and the International Coun
cil of Nurses.
Miss Noyes, the announcement said,
was the outstanding nurse of her gen
eration, and her sudden death on
June 3, 1936, ended 20 years’ service
with the Red Cross, first as assistant
director of nursing and then as di
rector.
“It was her deep interest in the
Florence Nightingale Foundation
School in London, her loyal work to
raise the standards of her profession
In America and her unceasing support
of nursing education in foreign coun
tries. which led the members of the
Central Committee of the Red Cross
to determine upon this type of com
memoration of her great service to
the cause of health education,” the
announcement explained.
The nurses winning the scholar
ships will live in the Florence Night
ingale Foundation. Many nations
grant scholarships in the foundation
so that often as many as 20 nationali
- ties are represented in the student j
body.
Justice Hughes to Mark 76th
Birthday Quietly Tomorrow
Expects to Spend Part
of Day Attending
Court Session.
By tbs Associated Press.
Charles Evans Hughes, Chief Jus
tice of the United States, will be 76
years old tomorrow'.
The tall, bearded Jurist, who has
presided over the Supreme Court dur
ing one of its most turbulent periods
in history, apparently is in excellent
health and has not missed a day be
cause of illness since appointed Chief
Justice in 1930 by President Hoover.
He has given no indication that he
plans to leave the court. On the con
trary, the only word that has come
from him on the subject was last
May 20 when he said that he had
"no intention whatever of retiring.”
Once years ago he said that 75
could more easily be defended as an
age for compulsory retirement than
70. However, he pointed to Oliver
Wendell Holmes, who remained on the
bench until he was 91.
The Chief Justice expects to spend
part of his birthday attending a court
session on Monday to deliver any
opinions that may be ready and to
announce whether a number of ap
peals will be granted or denied. Tile
remainder of the day probably will be
devoted to work on Supreme Court
business.
Each year he says that he will fol
low his "usual itinerary.” Two years
ago he added that he was "not liv
ing by the calendar" and that his
birthday had no significance to him.
Only two members of the court now
are older than the Chief Justice. The'
are Justice Brandeis, 81, and Justice
MeReynolds, who was 76 last Febru
ary 3.
Justice Hughes continues to set the
working pace for his colleagues. Dur
ing the present term that began last
October he has written 19 opinions
in his own name and 11 issued anony
mously on behalf of the entire court.
Justice Stone, 65. and Justice Rob
erts, 62, have tied for second place
with 18 each.
The Chief Justice is the only mem
ber of the court who has not dissented
to a single opinion this term, having
been on the winning side in every
case. Justice MeReynolds. with 20, is
the leading dissenter. Justice But
ler, with 15, ranks second.
Before becoming Chief Justice. Jus
tice Hughes served as associate justice
from 1910 until 1916. He resigned to
run for President as the Republican
nominee against Woodrow Wilson. He
lost by a narrow margin.
In addition, he has been Governor
