Though the Biblical tree has never been scientifically identified, there is a rare tree in west Florida which the natives know as gopherwood. They also call it National Recovery Day Set June 16 TALLAHASSEE.

June 14 (JP) State-wide observance of national recovery day on June 16 was called for today in a proclamation issued at Gov. Dave Sholtz's office. The people of the state were asked to observe the day "as one of rejoicing for the many benefits received from the operations of the national recovery administration, and as a day of gratitude to our president." The celebration will mark the first anniversary of the national recovery administration, created by Pres. Roosevelt. In its first year of existence, the governor's proclamation said, "the national recovery administration has been one of the most potent factors in the upturn of business and in the increase of employment.

Dave Sholu in conferences with Harry Hopkins, emergency relief director, and Secy, of Interior Harold L. Ickes, public works administrator. Gov. Sholtz said the discussions were along general terms and expressed the hope that the funds would be forthcoming when the deficiency bill now before the senate finally is enacted. This year, he said, the state has a good chance of being clear of general revenue fund debts at the end of the fiscal year, if tax payments are made sufficiently.

Although the 1933 legislature passed a law to prevent the extermination of the trees, he said, they are still being out. Jacobs said that the Florida yew was found only at one place and that it appeared to be in danger of extinction unless definite steps are taken to assure its protection.

Several other high bluffs are located in the region with the lowlands and the slopes covered by a dense forest of hardwood and pine. Near Aspalaga bluff in Gadsden county there is a canyon, 5 feet deep, extending nearly a mile back through outcroppings of limestone. Jacobs said the canyon is so narrow at the top that it can be steppe across. Its walls are lined with a solid mass of ferns, he said, with the maidenhair fern predominating. The assistant district forester quoted botanists as saying that the Apalachicola river region has a greater variety of tree species than any other equal area in north Florida.

At least two of the species found in the region are found nowhere else in the world, he said, and several of them are rare in Florida. Jacobs said he believed that the seeds for the hardwood trees were brought from the north by the river, lodged, took root and spread over the rolling land. The Torreya is a conifer and is classed as a softwood. Jacobs has advanced the theory that it is a hangover from another age. He TALLAHASSEE, June 14 (JP) The supreme court gained on itself by 34 cases in the spring term just ended, and turned into its summer and fall session with 518 cases on the docket.

G. T. Whitefield, clerk, reported today the court had 552 cases on docket when the term began early in January, and closed the term with 518 cases. During the session, 310 cases were docketed. The total number of decisions was 354.

ARRIS DISCHARGED In a decision today, the court ordered discharge of Emmett arris and Robert Smith, arrested in Lake City on charges of violating that city's ordinance which sought to require licensing of trucks used to deliver goods from stores or warehouses located in other places. The court held the license act was not directed against peddling, but only against outside firms doing business in the city, and that therefore it was unconstitutional. Similar decisions previously were rendered in cases from other cities. DECISION REVERSED In a Miami case, the court reversed the Dade county circuit court in granting an injunction seeking to restrain Mrs. Frank P.
