Wilmington, June 17.—(AP)— The
hearing of the drys’ temporary injunc
tion against the July 2 special elec
tion on the Cooper liquor control act
was opened in New Hanover superior
court here today (before Judge J. Paul
Firzzelle, of Snow Hill.
Opening the argument in behalf of
the right of the people to vote on the
act, Thomas W. Davis, Wilmington
attorney, said. “This act will become
law by popular vote or itw ill not be
come a law at all."
He expressed “astonishment” that
a group of local and outside drys who
secured the temporary restraining or
der from Judge E. H. Cranmer, of
Southport, have complained that “the
act prohibits the sale of liquor to
drunkards and to minors, and is,
therefore, discriminatory."
Before the argument was started,
Judge Frtezelle turned to counsel for
the complaining drys and said:
“I want to hear from these gentle
men on the question why this proceed
ing is not premature, since the elec
tion has not been held ”
L. R. Varser, Lumberton attorney,
employed by the drys, replied that
the plantiff “will argue the cost of
the election will them.”
Court was recessed until 2:30 o’clock
this afternoon, when the hearing will
be resumed.
Judge Frizzelle has expressed a de
sire to hear all arguments today.

Washington. June 17.—(AP)— A
greatly circumscribed national re
covery administration, stripped of its
power to enforce business codes, be
gan functioning today as Congress
spurted in an effort to speed through
President Roosevelt’s legislative pro
gram.
Taking over the helm of the new
NRA, James L. O’Neil said at his first
press conference that it was an “open
question’’ whether new legislation
might be sought at this session for
more positive law under which the
recovery agency would operate.
With a rapidly rising mercury al

aim of disposing of the administra
tion’s social security bill by mid-week

ahead with the intention of disposing
of four major administration “must”
hills before the week-end.

Controverted Amendments
Relating To Farm Re

Washington, June 17. —(AP) —As
the House prepared to take up the
much-disputed agricultural act amend
ments today, as it was assured by its
agricultural committee they were con
stitutional, yet still flexible enough to
establish and maintain the rehabilita
tion of the country’s agriculture.
The amendments had the right of
way immediately behind the tax ex
tension bill on which the House wa»
expected to act today.
Some Republicans were primed to
seek elimination of the licensing sub
stitute provision on certain commod
ities.
That section is most controversial,
